I'm Professor John Ioris this city has

shots in the country Professor Loris has
been named Greek John. g" and in a short

eTal of the large theatres of this country.
lie has the reputation of being able to
break more glass balls with a revolver
than many other men can with a shot
gun. Every theatre in which he has ap.
peared has witnessed his victories over his
antagonists with their Own weapon.
One exceedingly dangerous feat he per
forms is shooting n visiting card when 1t
is held with the edge toward him, but his
bicycle act is the only successful one of
the kind ever attempted. He rides at full
speed upon a iifty-six-inch upright ma
chine and breaks glass balls, shoots APP
pies placed on the head of an assistant,
and while riding can shoot anything
thrown in the air.
A clever feat performed recently by Mr..
Loris was taking card and making q
mark upon II up the length of six cart
ridges, and then shooting at it with the
six cartridges, hitting il in such a manner
Professor Ioris is now in his 2Sth year,
and is q handsome specimen Of physical
manhood. A gold badge bedecked with
diamonds and rubies ornaments his chest
and was presented by his admirers in this
city for defeating every person who ac-
cepted his challenge.
As a star he is already assured of sue
cess, as the leading papers of the country
are loud in their praises of him. His
hacker is the well.known wrestler, Greek
George.
Professor Loris' career as rifle shot
began when he was but 10 years Of age.
At that time he evinCed desire TO become
proficient in the handling of firearms and
was presented with toy rifle Revolvers
were his hobby, and he was not long in
exceeding all around him in fancy shoot
ing Hehas defeated 1.-THE so-oalled cham
pion shots of the country, and since his
adopting this city as his home. which he
did eight years ago, he has made many
friends in society, all of whom will regret
his leaving the city.
He is infatuated with this city aud is
proprietor of the two largest shooting gal
leties here, one being on Pennsylvania
avenue, near Third street, and the other
on the same avenue, near Twelfth street.

Miss Felis Tigris, better known as
Kitty, the 81, 200 tigress at Central Park,
passed away TO the feline paradise at 2:30
yesterday morning. AS is usual in cases
of pulmonary disease, her last moments
were peaceful. The conventional smile of
peace settled upon her open countenance
at the touch of the destroyer. Tom Dom

side eaflectionately stroking her head when
the summons came for the tigress 10 Join

the crocuses in the beds outside of the
death cage began to unfold their iris

came so much dead meat, suitable only
for taxidermist and scalpel purposes.

wish they might be the possessors of her

Lands held in reserve for serveral years by
the State Government are now opened to set
tiers at their actual value.
These reserved lands lie along the eastern or
Atlantic Coast, between st. Augustine and Bis
cayne Bay, one-half mile to six miles from the
ocean, argo portion being ia below the
frost limits.
This is the only eastern section In the United
States where It is possible to raise somi-tropi-
cal fruit, and where early vegetables and fruits
can be raised in time To catch the highest
Northern prices.
Much OF this land is owned by the Florida
Coast Line Canal and Transportation Com
pany, and bears fine growth OF timber,
from which large sums may be realized. The
section along the Indian River and Lake Worth
is well settled, and the land IL the most valua-
BILE in the State, the cast coast being tapped by
four railways, and the rivers along the coas
being naygated by steamboats,.
Improved transportation facilities and de-
lightful climate (heing so near the ocean the
afr Is much more bracing than further inland(
make this an excellent opportunity for actual
settlers.
Prices OF land range from 2per acre upward.
We shall be pleased to send maps, township
plans and full Information to all who are inter-
ested.
