no longer necessary to go east OF the MIS-

A Ouecr Bird.

During a visit TO New Zealand DR..
Fristedi. succeeded In obtaining Il
specimen OF the quaint and nj most ex.
tinct kibi bird. The bird is somewhat
like an ostrich. but only the size OF d
crow; it has no wings ut all. and Ia
covered with fnr-like. short-strl ped
feathers. Another pecplinrity about
the kibl is the fact that It's egg Is
larger than one-third OF its body. He
also succeeded In bringing home some
Maori skulls. which are difficult TO OBJ.

which the natives bury their dead.

Novel bird story.

When Mr.. Andrew Young returned
from Alaska last fall he went out TO his
ranch on Young's river TO dig his po.
tatocs. says the Astoria, Ore, Express.
Passing hollow tree he noticed sever.
al bushels already gathered. He looked
around the patch, he saw no signs Of
anyone having disturbed the ground
and to solve the mystery watched the
tree. He was soon rewarded by seeing
n flock OF bluejays nlight on the tree,
and each bird had potato in its bill,
which was dropped into an opening in
n limb and passed on down to the
ground. He procured sacks, and SO
fast as one was filled another was put
ut the place, and in this way the birds
harvested fifty bushel Of potatoes for
him from various patches around the
country.

TIGER HUNTING FOR SPORT.
In the Wynaad 1t Is Accompanied by
Much Excitement.

N tAs WynaAd 1t Is Accompanied by
Much Excitomsnt.
Among the hill tribes Of the Wynaad
In India there is q novel method of net
ting and destroying tigers which par
takes somewhat OF the character of a
religious festival, and which is attended
with much excitement and some dan
ger. Quite recently, reports Madras
paper, there was such an exhibition ut
place called Kuntichadi. 1t was de-
termined by tho inhabitants of the
netghborhood to get rid Of an Immense
tiger that had destroyed several head
OF cattle, the carcass OF one of which
was traced into the midst of neighbor-
Ing piece OF Jungle on the slope of q
hill, about mile and half from the
hamlet. Along the lower sides of this
Jungle line was cleared, Iand nets
made OF coir rope, were set upon posts,
about eight feet apart, while above en-
entrance was left for the Tiger. At
night the villagers and tt,Bir friends,
who had been invited from all the
neighboring parts to jof in the sport
mounted trees and otby points OF van
tage and waited, ara1.e,with spears 12
feet to IS feet in lnsh5 for the advent
Of the tiger.
During the night he appeared and
entered the inclosure OF nets through
the opening left for him. After invok-
Ing divine assistance, and encouraged
by one who was believed to be under
inspiration, the watchers descended
from their posts, and with yells and
shouts drove their victim into the mid
die OF the inclosure, when they stopped
the entrance with more posts and rope
netting. The men remained around
the jungle all night, lighting fires to
prevent any attempt at escape, and at
noon the following day, after more cere-
mony and much feasting, the whole
country turned out in holiday attire to
witness the work OF destruction. The
tiger, which was u fine brute, mcasur-
Ing about ten feet, was then reused by
stones and sticks, and made several
furious rushes at its tormentors, only
to be foiled by the net
1t was a magnificent sight to see it
spring forward in all its ferocity and
with mighty roar dash itself against
the net. After several charges. how
ever, it got disheartened and retired to
the middle OF the inclosure, from which
nothing could induce it to move. The
circle OF rope net was then drawn closer
around it until the tiger could be
reached with spear. 1t made one
more charge and, after demolishing
several spear handles, was pierced be-
low the neck and fell dead. The skin
was retained by the head man OF the
hamlet as trophy of the event. This
manner OF sport is said to be courted
with religious fervor and to propitiate
the deity.

Baseball Leagues

Agreement Reached by the Various
Baseball Leagues.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE baseball war
is at end, and the prospects for sue
cessful season in 1891 are excellent. To-
night the National League, American AS
sociation and the remnant of the Players
League, in joint session, formed into two
leagues, absorbing the Players, and ad-
mitting the Western Association to the
new national agreement. Boston, Chi
cago and Philadelphia, of the Players
League, and Washington were admitted
TO the Western Association, in place OF
Rochester, Syracuse, Toledo and the
Athletics. The American Association
bought out Rochester for $S, 500, Toledo
for IS, 500 and Syracuse for 500.
The Boston American Club must charge
fifty cents admission. All Players
League sheep must return to the fold,
where they were reserved, but undoubt-
edly many of them will be allowed to
stay where they are. Everybody was in
the best of humor.
The new agreement provides for a
board of three, which shall control the
workings OF the association. 1t DESTROYS
the sales system and black list, but con-
tinues the reserve rule in effect. Players
whose salary have not been paid may
secure a release from the clubs which are
in arrears for fifteen days. Many import
ant changes will be made, all looking for
the elevation of the game and justice and
harmony as between the PLAYERS manag-
erS and capitalists.

Difficulties Encountered in It's Passage
In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Senate to-
day found itself no further advanced to
final action upon the elections bill than
when it entered upon its consideration at
the beginning of the present session. The
stubborn fact still confronts the friends
of the bill that they must secure Repub-
lican quorum before progress can be
made. AT present the seats of forty-four
Republican Senators are filled in Wash
ington, or one less than quorum, sup
posing the Republicans who are num-
bered with them attend and vote.
Whether they vote for or against the bill
and its supporting propositions is not an
important question. Their votes, one
way or the other, are desired in order to
make quorum in case it is decided to
call up the closure resolution. The Re
publican absenteeS are seven in number.
They are Messrs. Blair, Chandler, Far
well, Moody, Pierce, Pettigrew and
Squire. The Senatorial contests in
which the three first-named Senators are
interested has been practically settled by
caucus action, so they may be expected
in Washington in short time to make
the necessary quorum. Ingalls, was re-
ported sick abed 1t is not clear now
that the proposition made by Senator
Stewart this morning to commit the cleo

long as the present plan is kept in opera
ton. 1t must, under the rule, lie over
