glimpses Of its pleasures and pastimes
afforded in report OF the wild animals de-
stroyed by the farmers clubs and associa-

The geographical name Brazil has been
migratory In space and singulariy change
able in form. An early geographer lays 1t
down, not only on the eastern coast OF
North America, bnt also gives 1t as the
name of an island between Irlanda and the
Isle OF Man. A map Of 1866 calls by that
name an island southeast Of the Gulf OF st.
Lawrence. A map Of 1852 sets down an
island near the Cape Verde group and calls
1t Brazil. Other maps give the name OF
Brazil TO an island somewhat east OF Nova
Francia and group Of islands southwest Of
Ireland. As to the spelling Of the mans II

Cruelty To Children.

Stephen Leonard of 80 Chesley street for
gets himself sometimes, and last night he
made such mistake that he landed In the
Southern police station with charge Of
cruelty to children opposite his name. 1t
seems that he went home last night in an
ugly mood and commenced TO demolish
things generally.
After beating his wife he put his two
children. both girls, aged 4 and years, in to
the street without sufficient clothing tn hide
their nakedness. The younger was found
by the police wandering about the streets,
but the elder had found some hiding place,
and up to midnight had not been found.

THREE TAME ROUNDS.
j. 0'Hara COSgraVe'S Street Scrap
With Lawyer Patton.

j. O'Hara Cosgraye, one OF the prOpre-
tors OF the Wave, met Attorney Charles l..
Patton on Suffer street, near Powell, yes
terday morning, aud little difficulty which
had been outstanding for two weeks
was partially adjusted. Three not very
lively rounds We're fought, but neither party
gained the verdict when the pair were
picked up from the sidewalk and separated
by sYmpathZng friends. IL is understood
that the decision is mo contest" and that
Mir. Patton Is still awaiting satisfaction
from Mr. COsgrave.
IL was not CORY affair." and after q wash
and brush up IN neighbOrlng drugstore,
Mr.. COSgraVe presented himself at his Office
about 10 o'clock without a scratch. SO we'll
had he Jared that his partner found 1t diff
cult 10 believe that there had been battle
of the giants.
The trouble between COsgrOve and Patton
dates from about three weeks ago, when
an article appeared in the Wave rejecting
on PattOn's conduct at a reception given by
H. +. Scott, the well-knOwn eliSOr Of the
Grand Jury. Patton took it TO heart and
resolved to seek an explanation from Cos
grave in pTOpTla persona, and, Ii necessary,
vi ct arms. Accompanied By two friends
he called at CUsgTave's house, 1927 Pine
street, on the Sunday morning following the
publication Of the article.
COsgTaYe responded TO tie call. While
standing with the door half open he was
taxed By Patton with the authorship of the
Objectionable article. Patton at the same
moment made pass at COsgrave, and the
latter pushed to the door TO defend himself.
IL remained partly open, and Patton invited
CosgraVe to steD down on the sidewalk TO
be dome up" COsGrave moved as an
amendment that Patton call at his office at
10 o'clock in the morning of the next day,
when the doing-up process could be trans
acted.
Patton failed to materialiZe on the Mon
day morning, but COsgrave was informed
that the lawyer had been heard 10 repeat
the threats of putting his (COsgrave's) anat-
Omy permanently out of repair. 1t was not
surprising, therefore, that when COSgraVe
ard the lawyer encountered each other
Unexpectedly at the corner of Suffer and
Powell streets yesterday morning the con-
dtions were all favorable to settlement by
summary process.
After few words, Patton made pass at
C0sgrave, who was unprepaTed at the mo-
ment, and he went backward. pretty briskly
against flight OF steps. 1t was neither a
knockdown nor a knockout, however, and
the next minute there was a picturesque
assortment of flying cOat-tailS, upturDed
heels and wild waving fists on the sidewalk
where the two men had recently been stand
ing.
The other two rounds were of a similar
character. No fouls were claimed, but it
took the byStanders 4 considerable time to
disentangle the mass of fists, legs and coat
tails.
Mr. Patton is not yet of the opinion that
honor is satisfied, and the outcome of the
affair is uncertain.

A Life-Insurance President Pensicned for Life
on S37 500 a Year.
New YORK, Feb. Sat an adjourned
meeting Of the Trustees Of the New York
Life Insurance Company to-day the resig-
nation Of PRECEDENT William II. Beers was
unanimously accepted. The special COM
mittee appointed to consider the report Of
the State Superintendent Of Insurance re-
Gently printed finds there is nothing &c 70
port which shows any corrupt or dishonest
use of the company's funds for private
gain Of any Of the officers Of the company.
The committee recommends, however, a di-
vision Of the duties of the executive officers
by the appointment OF an auditor, who shall
report directly TO the Trustees the adop-
ton Of bylaws that no salaried emplOye Of
the company shall be eligible as President;
that a committee of five be appointed to
make nominations To iii vacancies; that
the bylaws be amended in such respects as
shall add to the efficiency Of tie organiza-
ton.
The committee highly eulogizes the serv-
ices of President Beers and recommends
that 4 salary Of So. 900 per annum be paid
% him during his life. The board adopted
resolutions accepting President Beers res
lgnatiOn with regret, accepting the recon-

THE SILVER QUESTION.
The House Committee on Coinage Ad-
dressed by T. G. N0VIandS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Francis G. Ney-
lands of Nevada to-day addressed the House
Committee on Coinage, Weights aud Meas
ures on the International Monetary Confer
ence phase of the silver question, opposing
the proposition. He reviewed The hisk-~y
of the silver question, and then went on 10
show why the United States should adopt
free silver coinage now and why nothing
could be expected of Europe. All persons
realized this was an age Of combines " and
trusts. The gold nations were the creditor
nations. Those nations needed little de-
velOpment, and hence their accommodations
were invested in the development Of other
countries. As the owners of money it was
to their interest TO make money valuable
The only way to do this was by limiting its
quantity The easiest way TO do 50 was by
forming a gold trust to prevent future sill
Yer coinage and destroy the lega-tender
quality Of existing silver money. Gold is
being diminished every day by the demands
OF the arts and dentistry, and 1t was held
that the store Of gold coin was being in
vaded to meet these demands. The annual
product Of silver is increasing slightly.
The creditor nations, therefore, secured
great advantage Ivy demOnetZing silver,
and thus increasing the burden Of the obi
cations to them. We are a wealthy nation
in everything except money. highlands
wealth IS principally in money. We util-
iZed ali the money we could borrow. and
owed to Europe in national. State munich
pal and railway debts more than the entire
volume OF money existing IN this country.
Whenever anything occurred in Europe
which frightened their money market they
called on us % buy our Obligations and we
were obliged to absorb them, for unless
those Obligations are sustained there would
be a general destruction or values.
