The contributions to the cathedral fund
have gone up to much over a million, one
contribution of 500. 900 having recently
been made, but the name of the donor is
not TO be made public until January. The
first part of the structure to be completed

been adhered to.
The cathedral when completed will cost
fully 100000.

made known all the world over. He
proved great drawing card for awhile
Then he began to drink heavily and very
often disappointed large audiences by
being unable to appear.
After seeing his money squandered in
this way until patience ceased to be vir-
tue the manager decided to adopt heroic
measures. He set himself to watch the
General and never let the little fellow out
of his sight for moment.
At st. Louis the manager had occasion
to leave the hotel for an hour. and deter
mined not to take any chances, locked
the General in his room. When be re-
turned he was struck speeches. with
The door was locked, but

as drunk as lord.
No sooner had the manager left than

placed his lips to the pipestem aud drank
himself into total unconsciousness. =

years ago in the Fifteenth New York dis.
trict there was certain Irishman who
steadfastly refused to give the old soldier

greatly surprised, therefore when Pat in

Half Boy, Half Alligator.

One Of the most curious and revolving
spectacles of deformity is to be found at
Waycross, Ca, in the form of a human
alligator.
The monstrosity is boy IA years of age,
who not only bears close resemblance to
saurian, but Kisses, bellows and foams
at the mouth, just as an alligator does
when angry. He can neither talk nor
walk, and is an idiot, practically, save for
the fact that when hungry he can make
known his wants. If it is time for eating
or drinking he lets those about him know
ny grooming and crawling around the
door on his belly.
The boys body is almost entirely COW
cred with scales of delicate texture. His
head is long and fiat; his eyes are round
and bcady and blink with superficial lid
or film, like those of q gator. His mouth
il long and vide and filed With an un-
usually large number Of teeth. tsitA
His legs and arms bear close resem-
olance to the corresponding members Of
an alligator, being fat and turned side
ways form immense joints. Altogether
he is as near blending Of man and rep
tile as was ever seen. Water he loves and
he seems to know the presence Of it by
instinct
A few days ago the creature was taken
before the grand jury and examined by
the jurors and several physicians. The
jury pronounced him harmless and re-
turned him to his mother.
The secret of tho deformity il in the
history of the mother some time before
the birth of the child.
She aud her husband then lived in q
Wild portion Of Florida. One day they
were crossing a mill dam together when
two enormous ball alligatoss metin shall
low water aud began terrible combat.

THEY DIE HARD.
Biand end His Foil overs sim Cling
TO y Possible Chance.

bland end His Followers stiii Cling
TO y Possible Chance.
WASHINGTON March 81. 49, Bland and
his free silver followers die hard. They
have not entirely abandoned all hope OF
hope Of passing free silver bill or getting
. vote on II In some shape. They are di
recting their attention TO the senate, and
have had several conferences with theii
free silver friends In that body; but it ap'
pears they do not get much encourage
ment or comfort. They are also WORKING
their petition scheme, but thus far have
only been able To get abont thirty more.
A good many OF the Republicans are
very indignant today over interviews out
over the country by Williams, Harter and
others, asserting that the silver bill was
defeated in the house entirely by action
within the Democratic lines, and that the
Republicans are entitled TO no credit In
the matter. This Is Just what was ex.
pectsd. and il Is one reason why many Of
the Republicans desired 10 bring the ques-
ton to direc, issue in order that every
Democrat could be compelled to 20 on
record on the bill itself without any side
issues.
No ono was more surprised than were
these gentlemen when Burrows,o on behalf
of the Republicans, moved to lay the Bland
bin on the table. IL was that motion that
prevented the adoption Of the previous
ques tion, and which led for the time being
Ia the defeat &C the bill.
