The tiger Is not the only East Indian an.
imal that loves human flesh. AT IL recent
monthly meeting OF the Bombay Natural
History society Mr.. Reginald Gilbert read
an interesting account of a she bear which
had attacked and seriously injured four or
five persons in the state OF Darampore dur
ing the last year. Mr.. Gilbert and Mr.. f
J.. Burton killed this bear and her two
cubs on n day whens she had, without prov.
ocation, attacked mi killed a man as he
was lying on the ground smoking. 1t was
found, on examining the bear, that the bone
of her forearm had been splintered some
time before, and that the bullet was still
in the flesh. The wound had closed, but
as there was a good deal of Inflammation
it must ave given her much pain. and so
probably induced her to behave in an extra
savage manner and take to man killing.

A Lawsuit. with whlsker. on 1t.

What with its public debt. standing
army n parliament young Japan" is
getting on equal terms with the %civiliza-
ton of the west. Her people are also de-
veloping a violent prediction for going
to law on almost any pretext. Among
other queer cases a singular suit is now
pending in the Kioto provincial court. Mr..
G. Suminokura has entered an action
against Governor Kitagaki to recover the
sum of $3.50, 600. The story runs that
Ryoi ~Suminokura, an ancestor of the
plaintiff, constructed in 1913 two canals,
which have now become the rivers Taxa.
segawa and ~Sagogawa. They were CON
structed to facilitate the transportation of
goods, and the shotgun of the time granted
their constructor the right to exact a toll
from all boats and RATS making use of
these waterways. This privilege was en-
joyeG Ivy the ELthiI<klkG family for gene
rations down to the year 1869, when the
government confiscated the tolls and made
them over to Kioto Flu, the authorities
continuing ever since to exact the dues.
1t has now struck Mr.. G. Suminokura that
the rights may be recoverable through the
courts, hence his action.

regarding the existence of a plot to blow
up the building with dynamite and effect
the release of the 1,400~ convicts there con.
fined. Several days ago Warden Hale got
an inkling OF the conspiracy, and promptly
put seven men whom he thought to be the
ringleaders in solitary confinement on q
diet of bread and water. The suspects re
fused to confess, and at the next meeting
of the prison directors the following reso-
luton was adopted;
Resolved. BY this board, after due investi.
cation of the evidence adduced showing n con-
spiracy TO escape on the part OF @. II. Thorne,
Abraham Turcott. &C. Sullivan, Charles Man
ming, II. w. Hanlon, John Wood, aims De-
laney, and George Ross, that the action of the
warden in placing the said convicts In solitary
thor directed to tnfict such additional pun
ishment as may be permitted by the rules and
regulations of the pr son II in his discretion
the same may be deemed necessary and expe-
dent.
The law allows the warden to fog, trice
up by the thumbs and cold shower refrac.
tory prisoners. 1t is said that II he finds
it necessary he will try the cold shower
first. When this punishment is inflicted
the subject is strapped, nearly nude, to
what is called a ladder and a stream
turned on him from an inch hose with a
one.eighth inch nozzle. The sensation is
said to be horrible, yet the water doesn't
kill, main or mark" The most minute
search has so far failed to reveal but n por.
ton Of the arms and dynamite thought to
be secreted about the prison. Whether re-
sort to MEDIEVAL methods OF torture will
wiring any information from the suspects
Is yet an open question.

So far Haines testified in his own de
Tense. But Commander Robley D.. Evans,
U. S. N, who was within 100 yards and
looking at them, testified that flanagan
did not rise, that he did not even allow the
oar to slip from its place till he fell and
that Hams advanced a step and fired
down ut the face of the man who was
rowing'-namely. flanagan. OF course
every criminal lawyer would say at once
that the direction taken by the balls ought
to show at a glance the relative positions OF
the two. So DR.. Peekes. the coroner, was
called.
He testified that one ball struck the In
side bend of the right elbow on a straight
line, and sit could not have been inflicted
IL HRnnegan had had his arm raised to
strike n blow unless the man who fired
stood right over him. The ball which en-
tered the chest also entered on a straight
line" Against all this the defense had the
testimony Of a half idiot negro, Lincoln
Smith, who swore that Hannegan struck
at Hams, but he could not tell which way
the boat was headed, or whether Hanne-
gan struck once or twice, or anything else.
He simply insisted on the attack by Han
negan and knew nc more. All the rest OF
the testimony either corroborated that OF
the coroner aud Commander Evans, or was
irrelevant to the main issue. And on that
evidence twelve good men nn1 true" nc.
quilted Hams.
1t came out in cross-examination that
Commander Evans had had a difficulty
with Hams and had ceased to speak to
him. Also that he paid no more atten-
ton to the boat after the shooting, because
he thought the boys were skylarking." On
this and other points, says the local report,
Colonel John s. Wise kept the courtroom
in a roar OF laughter while he was speak
ing'' for the defense. Another lawyer for
the defense begged the jury not to "shed
the blood of a young Virginian whose
grandfather served his country with honor
whose uncle fell in the Confederate
cause"
After this 1t is not surprising to read
that Senator Worries for the defense was,
according to Colonel John S. Wise, mot
up to his usual strength" There was an
indignation meeting, and then one of the
jurors went cunning for Mr.. Lipscomb, an
attorney. And finally 1t is announced that
the defendant had frequently played cards
with one of the jurymen in his cell and
that after the trial he treated all the jury
men to mint juleps."

S. ii. Clifford, New Cassel, WIS, was
troubled with neuralgia and rheumatism,
his stomach was disordered, his liver was
affected to an alarming degree, appetite
fell away, aud he was terribly reduced in
flesh and strength. Three bottles Of
Electric Bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, Ill.
had a running sore on his leg of eight
years standing. Used three bottles OF
Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Buck,
lens Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound
and well. John Speaker, Catawba, o.,
had five large fever sores on his leg. doc
tors said he was incurable. One bottle
Electric Bitters and one box Bucklen's
ArnIca Salve cured him entirely. Sold at

And the comical part Of the business ia
that these pretenders fool nobody. There
are certain recognized standards of wages
that fluctuate only within narrow limits,
and when an eight dollar man spends If
teen the fellows he treats lazily speculate
when his back is turned whether or not he's
"swiping stuff from the ibbon counter"
The two thousand dollar swell's compan
ions regard him with a mixture of awe
and curiosity. They think he's "got his
fist in the SAFE" and wonder when the
bust up will come"
In most cases, however, there is at first
no direct dishonesty. The spendthrift
doesn't steal; he borrows and gets credit.
, Like Dick Swiveller, he closes up street
after street; dares not go one way for fear
Of meeting "A tailor: breads to essay an.
other. because he may chance on an ac-
quaintance who, in a fit OF semidrunken
generosity LOANED him twenty until to
morrow" Unless he economies and quits
his extravaganza, he is likely after awhile
to borrow without asking, to use funds be-
longing to his employers and in the end to
become a fugitive or a convict.
BY some such path as that outlined
above, Sylvester Young. formerly of Louis
vile, reached the highway of disaster. He
flew high" for a time; now he has flown
from sight, aud the Guarantee Company
"AASH 80 ~ us
bono and is responsible for the amount OF
his defalcation, is hunting the world over
to find him. In time they probably will,
for these guarantee companies never "let
up" on a dishonest patron and cheerfully
spend 10000 to catch a man through
whom they nave lost n tenth of that sum.
Harry L. Howard started with the most
fattering prospects, so far as money goes.
He is the son of a wealthy retired mer-
chant, of Burlington, Vt. His father sent
him to school and college, and report has
1t paid out $4,000 that the boy might not
suffer for youthful follies incident to the
getting of an Education" When about
twenty-five years of age Harry 'braced up"
and married a rich mans daughter, who in
due season presented him with a child. Soon
afterward she got a divorce, and old Mr..
Howard, becoming convinced that his son
had acted scandalously, disowned him and
stopped his allowance. The young fellow
thereupon became a drummer and did well.

SENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL.
s,ms of the Strange Features of IA vIr-
ginIs Tragedy.

Some of the Strange Features of n Vlr-
ginIs Tragedy.
The killing OF Ned flanagan by Thorn
ton j. Hams, near Fortress Monroe, and
the recent trial and acquittal of Hams
taken together constitute the most puzzling
and peculiar case that has interested Amer
leans for many years. The two were in
innate associates and had never exchanged
angry words so far as known; both belong
ed to distinguished families and Hannegan
was noted for mildness rather than ten
denotes to anger.
But these are not the facts which make
the tragedy SO fascinating. There is a
mystery Of contradiction in the evidence
which cannot be explained by the ordinary
rules, and there is evidently something
back" as people say-something In the
past which makes the case one like those
the Greeks believed to be the work of an
avenging Nemesis. Hams swore that he
quarreled with Hannegan about putting
their sailboat inshore, as a storm was ris-
ing, that Hannegan rose and advanced on
him with the uplifted oar, and that he.
being in fear of his life, fired twice.
