A Michigan City special says: Gen.
Oemer, a farmer, came in from the north
yesterday and reported that he had seen
seventy five antelope about three miles
from town. It nearly set everybody
wild, and nearly the whole town started
after them and succeeded in killing ten
and capturing four alive. They expect
to get most of the flock tomorrow, as
they are nearly tired out.

An observer writes us that he Is salts
fed that there is just as much rivalry
between humming birds and bees in
their quest for honey as there is between
members of the human race in their
struggle for the good things of life, and
describes recent quarrel that he saw
in Portland garden, where a humming
bird with an angry dash expressed its
disapproval of the presence of a big
bumblebee in the same tree. The usually
pugnacious bee incontinently fled, but
he did not leave the tree. He dashed
back and forth among the branches and
white blossoms, the humming bird in
close pursuit.
Where will you find another pair that
could dodge and dart equal to these:
They We're like flashes of light, yet the
pursuer followed the track of the pur-
sued, turning when the bee turned. In
short, the bird and the bee controlled
the movements of their bodies more
quickly and more accurately than he
could control the movements of his eyes.
The chase was all over in half the time
that it has taken to tell it, but the ex-
element of pack of hounds after fox
was no greater. The bee escaped, the
bird giving up the whole chase and
alighting on a twig.-Portland Tran.

Motors for Hot Weather.

1t is not merely an aggravation when
pedestrian, with pleasing expectancy,

allowed to go fireless through summer,
and to grow cool, cold, frigid-until the

DEMOCRACY IN ENGLAND.
Rapid Growth Of Liberal Ideas In Great
Britain.


Britain.
The rapid progress of the political in
stitutions of Great Britain toward pure
democracy has received several strik-
ing illustrations of late, says the
Epoch. But none is more remarkable
than the virtual agreement between
the chiefs OF both parties that the
house OF lords can no longer stand In
the way OF an emphatic expression of
popular will Even as a drag on the
car OF legislation, the hereditary
branch Of the legislature has lost It's
power. The absurdity OF retaining it at
all will doubtless be recognized before
long by others than radicals In British
politics.
The adoption by the conservatives of
the movemeiAs for an English land pur-
chase act Is another Indication of the
growth Of democratic sentiment. For,
though the creation Of class OF email
eeholders-c counterpart OF the old
English ysomanry-may seem to be cal
euleted to make supporters for the to-
ries, the long-standing privileges which
such stroke of policy would under
mine are among the most cherished in
stitutions of English conservatism.
They could hardly disappear without
carrying with them much of the politi-
cal and social structure which has
been raised on them. and changing the
whole face of British politics. In the
new order of things the division of par
ties would probably be between radi-
Gals ayowedly republicans, and con-
servatives reinforced by moderate Iber-
ais devoted to the preservation of the
throne.

RUSSIAN DIPLOMACY.
How q Clever Ambassador Obtained Audi

How = Clever Ambassador Obtained Audi
ence With the Sultan.
The late sultan of Turkey, Abdul
Ariz, was, if not absolutely mad, suf-
ficient eccentric to cause constant
trouble, not only among his own minis
ters, but also where the foreign ambas-
sadors were concerned. One Of the am
bassadors, however, Gen. Ignatieff OF
Russia, was sufficien tly clever to outwit
him and introduce the business of
nations under the guise of personal
pleasure. fine example of his ingenu-
1ty Is given in an article in Murray's
Magazine:
At one time the sultan absolutely re-
fused to grant an audience to any mem
Der of the diplomatic body, and spent
the greater part of his time in cock
fighting, an amusement which he great
ly relished.
Ignatieff learned that his imperial
majesty was in need of fresh birds to
supply the place of those killed in fight.
Thereupon, Ignatief procured fine
looking white fowl of the BARNARD
species had it trimmed and spurred to
resemble gamecock, and sent IL in a
richly decorated cage to the sultan.
The ruse was successful, but the sui
tan, at first delighted with the gift,
soon sent for the ambassador to present
himself at the palace, and explain, if
he could, why the bird had no inclina-
ton to fght. Ignatief went, examined
the bird in the presence of the sultan
and, with great astonishment and re-
gret, acknowledged that it was quite
unable to cope with the royal game
cooks which were of an undoubtedly
superior race.
A conference followed on the subject
OF gamecocks in general, and this one
in particular, and when the diplomatist
had succeeded in drawing the sultan
into conversational mood, he adroitlv
introduced the political matter he had
SO long awaited to discuss. After long
conversation he returned to his embassy
triumphant over his other colleapues.
