The organization last week of a
company at Patterson, y. J., for the
purpose of removing the silk velvet
plant of Il Creiieli concern to this
country. calls attention to this indus
try and the past and present condi
tions surrounding it here Previous
to the passage OF the present tariff
bill, the Boston Advertiser truly says,
there WAS little incentive for m&nu-
facturers in this country to undertake
the business, because the proportion Of
labor which enters into the production
of this article is far in excess of that
entering into other textiles, conSc-
quently the duty of 30 per cent I'd vo-
lorem was i'll great part upon this
labor with Which we could net com
pete. As a result the manufacture Of
velvet here was left to one or two con
Germs, who, through some unusually
favorable circumstances have been
able TO make II at some profit.
The recent tariff law has by It's pro
visions, however, made it possible 10

will be as well to wait awhile before

TIGERS AND THEIR PREY.
The Cruel Animal Displays Truly Phe-
Strength.

nomenal Strength.
How do tigers secure their prey? As
general rule, am inclined to doubt
the truth OF the commonly accepted
theory that the tige~, after lurking in
ambush, springs onto the unsuspecting
victim and. tearing sayagely at its
threat. eagerly drinks it blood. This
method of attack may sometimes be
adopted, but it is far mere often the
exception than the rule. In approach
ing his prey the tiger makes the best
possible use Of cover, but when further
cocccalment is impossible he Will
course 4 deer or other swi.t-footed ami
NAL with quite an extraordinary turn
of speed.
A sudden dash of 200 yards in the
open is nothing uncommon. One Ii
gres5 with which | was at one time
quite intimately acquainted, used to
catch hog or deer almost daily on a
perfectly open and burned-up plain.
Small animals are for the most part
dispatched with a blow of the paw,
but in the case Of the moro bulky. tho
experienced tiger. leaping on the back
of his victim, grips the neck III front
OF the withcrs with lis jaws. one fore
paw clasping the shoulder Of the ami
NAL, and the other fully extended un-
der the throat. Should he be unable
to crush the spine with his jaws, he
will then jerk the head bach, violently
and thereby break the neck.

method. In removing his prey the

tall colored man coming from tho rear
OF the house with a bag thrown over

pass, but when he reached Twelfth and
Orange streets he was stopped by a
special Waterman, who asked what he
had In tho bag. He answered clothes.
but when the officer inserted his hand
and found number OF chickens. he
attempted to arrest him. The fellow
managed to make his escape, when the
officer discharged his revolver twlee,
and blew his whistle. Officer Johnson
responded, and upon seeing him run
around the corner OF Eleventh and
French streets followed him up all
alley into shed, where he had tried
TO hide among some barrels.
When the officer undertook to arrest
MIN he inado desperate resistance
but was finally subjugated by the JUDI
cious use OF club. He. as well as tho
lag OF chickens, which he had dropped
at Twelfth and Orange streets, were
taken to police station, where Il was
found that there were ton dead chick.
eds in the bag, all Of them still warm.
Nine of these, fine Leghorus, valuel at

but this did not save him from being
committed In default of $500 hnil, to
explain the matter before Jury ut thu
