Money DESTROYED in a Wreck.

In the accident to the Winnipeg ex-
press on the Canadian road at Straight
Lake, Ont, the sum of $4,000, which
had been mailed from two banks at
Ottawa to Winnipeg, was destroyed.
One package of 0,O0O was entirely de-
stroyed but there was enough of the
second bundle left to enable the bank
to recover several thousand dollars.
Who the actual loser will be is not
known, but it is likely to fall on the
banks shipping the amount.

BOSToN'S BIG FAILURE.

surprise Over tho Assignment of the
Leather Firm of Alley Bros. 6 Place.
Boston, June 24-The news of the
failure of Alley Bros. g. Place, leather
dealers, 54 South street, created much
surprise among leather merchants here.
The liabilities are placed at $400, 900;
assets, 100000. William A. Knowlton
is Joined with Mr.. Rust in the assignee
ship. This house is the successor to John
B. Alley & Co.
Mr.. Place of the embarrassed firm Of
Alley Bros. & Place, says the credi tors
will receive 100 cents on the dollar with
interest.
Mr.. Alley, of the firm, says: 'Our in
ability to get ready money is the cause
of the failure, but the creditors are most
ly banks in New Haven and we owe but
little for merchandise. Our factories are
located in Aver, this State, Bethel, VT,
and two in Pennsylvania This has come
upon us very suddenly and we have as
rigned everything we have and whatever
the creditors want done we shall do"
The business of the firm has latterly
been managed almost entirely by Mr.

has done business of 100000 year

q dozen beautiful partridges frisking
about and running all around their
pretty cage. How familiar the sound
and how attractive to the ear of a
sportsman. Nearly all of these beau
ties were Matched right here in this
cage. While admiring them and listen
ing to their history, there came q sound
of 'Caw," "Caw," ''Caw," and behold
there was trained crow perched upon
a window, looking in at the taxiderm-
lists at their work. He just then saw
his master, the keeper, and flew down
upon his shoulder and commenced pick

crow family.
There are half dozen homing
pigeons in cage to themselves and a
very happy family they are, too. Their
eyes, small though they be, are eX-

and love their keeper. Every summer
they are taken away off to the Blue

shore and released with messages which
they deliver with wonderful speed. It
is remarkable to witness their antics
and manifestations of joy, affection and
pride when they return home after a
long, swift course through the air.
Each one of them wants to be patted upon

a special commentator.
There are sparrow hawks, a porcupine,
barred owls, monkeys, all kind of rats

The barred owls eat rats which are

There is q magnificent cougar or

cost, at a low price per acre, $119, 914-
.16. Then an appropriation of 900
was made during the first session of
the Fifty-hrst congress for the organiza-
ton, maintenance and improvement of
the park. At the second session $110,
600 more were appropriated, so that you
see the enterprise is starting out with a
good financial basis. Unfortunately,
however, it was necessary to charge
half of the expense of the park upon
the District of Columbia, because the
citizens of Washington are expected to
derive the greatest benefit from the
Zoo. The same argument would legit-
imately result in compelling Wyoming
and Montana to pay half the expenses
Of the Yellowstone national park.
However, 1t was necessary for friends
Of the enterprise to concede everything,
almost, in order to get congressional
recognition. Hereafter, the people of
the entire country will consent to
footing the bills for national park at
the national capital, for the preserva-
ton, rather than the exhibition, Of

What Was Needed to Make Her Happy.
A few days ago a prominent New
York clergyman who is noted for his
benevolence received letter from a
woman asking for $1,000. This was her
plea: She had had q friend, she said,
who married about the same time as
herself. They had married men of
about the same social standing and
could afford to have about the same
things. Lately, however, the friends
husband had been more prosperous than
her own, and matters had now come to
such pass that her friend had been
able to buy a new inlaid upright piano,
''while," she wrote pathetically, 81 am
obliged to wear life out with the old
square piano my father gave me when I
was married. Now, my dear DOCTOR"
she went on, ''you will at once see the
sadness of this and send me a check for
81, 900, which will be sufficient, think,
to get an upright little better than
hers"

Hilmar, taking his friends arm. "The

Certainly, but do not show her gal

Ivan entered, and with ecstatic
grins announced in Russian that sup
per was ready. What delight to
meet some one he could address in his
native tongue!
In spite of Marianne's secret misgiv-
ings and doleful prophecies to Desiree,
the supper was excellent. The table
was charmingly arranged as usual, and
it contained one unusual adornment,
glass of flowers and sprays from the
garden, arranged with great taste by
Desiree. Hilmar took a carnation
from the glass and placed it in his but
ton-hole. At table he showed himself
wonderful rdcOnteur. His descrip-
tions of the elegant circles of the Rus.
sian capital and of the musical and ar
tistic life there were enhancing.
Desiree listened in rapt attention, but

night brought in a verdict Of acquittal.
Rhett, who is a member of the distin-

name, was remanded to Ludlow street
Jail to answer to two indictments charg-

AS these indictments are part of the
general accusation against the prisoner,
it is not likely that they will ever be
