During one of the early epochs there
were numerous species of cats, all of them
since extinct which varied in size all the
way from that of household pussy of to-
day to the huge saber toothed tiger. Not
few of them were astonishingly fierce
and correspondingly destructive. The
teeth they have left behind tell the story
of the way they lived, describing, as well
as words could do it, their extreme ferocity.
They attained the climax of their type in
the saber toothed tigers, bigger than
either the lion Or the tiger of today which
had CANNES a foot in length and shaped
like curved knives with sawlike edges.
They roamed the continent in the time of
the gigantic sloths, such as the megathe-
ria, and doubtless did much to exterminate
the latter helpless and vegetable eating
beasts. They were plentiful in Texas,
where the remains of good many have
been dug up.
Unfortunately for them the specializa-
uion or function was carried so far in their
case as to be the means of their destruc-
ton. Not only were these exaggerated
teeth useless for biting purposes, but they
could not be used to cut with unless the
animals jaws were closed. Besides, they
were so in the way as to prevent the beast
from biting off large pieces of flesh, thus
interfering with it's feeding. There is a
reason to believe that sometimes these
saber teeth got caught on the CANNES in
the lower jaw in such manner as to hold
the mouth wide open and prevent it from
being shut again. thus causing starvation

A Disinherited Astor.


Mr.. Henry Astor, a brother of the late
William Astor, a farmer of Columbia
county, comes in for codicil which sets
forth that neither he nor his issue shall
have so much as one red cent to rub against
another. The father of these two men,
William B. Astor, gave Henry a small
amount of money, although he had offend
ed the family by marrying a respectable
girl, the daughter of farmer employed
on the Astor estate at Rhinecliff- -on-the
Hudson. This was the only offeuse
charged against Henry, so far as the pub
lie ever knew. This offense will not strike
most people as being objectionable, and
yet, in the eyes of the relatives. it seems to
be growing in Nervousness as the years
go by.
1t wasn't so dreadful during the lifetime
of his father, for that stern parent con
ceded him few paltry dollars; but com
ing down to this generation he doesn't re
ceive 30 much as plaster, and plaster
for the son Of an Astor is mighty short
pasture, so to speak. Perhaps as the years
glide by and his offense becomes still fur
ther intensified, his branch of the family
will be required to pay in something each
year to the other branch by way of further
atonement for marrying whom he pleased
1t is gratifying to know that Henry Astor
has been doing right well since he con
tracted this marriage, Notwithstanding
that his rich relatives didn't like it. t.--John

BARNARD COLLEGE NEEDS MONEY
At Least 100000 Must Be Raised to
Secure a HIOO. 600 Donation.

At Least $780, 900 Must Be Raised to
Secure 100000 Donation.
The generous donor of 100000 for build
ing a hall for Barnard college has shown a
hearty interest in the development of WON
ans education which ought to find emula
tors in a city like New York There must
be imitators of this generosity or else even
the fruit of this donation will be lost
Among the conditions with which the
anonymous donor accompanies this offer
ing there is one that site for the building
shall be procured within 1000 feet of Co
lumbia college. When Columbia, in a
few years, moves to its new quarters ont
have it's site there.
Now is the time to buy the site. Ten
building lots will be sufficient The price
of these lots now ought to be about $75, 600
If Barnard college Is to have a 100000
building on site of it's own the college
ought to be endowed. This would need
about $500000
This is pretty clear, but it is not bit
more clear than that Barnard has no
money at all. If these steps are to be
taken for perpetuating a work so exclu
sively for woman's advancement some
generous friends of the cause will have to
go down in their pocketbooks
There are plenty of rich women in New
York. Some of them, it is hoped, have
faith enough in this woman's college to
make it a handsome donation.
There are men who heartily believe in
the cause of higher education for women
and who are in condition to back their
views by money contributions. Money
certainly tells in this case Of Barnard col
lege.
Newnham and Girton are thriving WON
ems colleges in England. Isn't New York
just as capable of supporting a coilege'
Barnard has made a fine start. The plucky
women who put it on foot went heroicaly
to work with large margin of trust and
a very small one of cash. 1t opened with
seven students. Next years freshman
class numbers already forty-five. BY the
time they get their college built there will
be at least 300 women on its rolls
Here, then, is the opportunity for the
friend of woman whether that friend be
man or woman. The donation of 100000
should not be ineligible because there is
not generous enough interest in woman's
higher education to supply the money for
the site Of The college
Four years is the term in which the con
ditions must be fulfilled. If Barnard hasn't
her site then, why, technically at least
she loses her claim to this large donation
Women often give large sums to mems
colleges. Let some of the rich champions
of their sex come forward now and give
Barnard college good, strong boost on its
way. The students receive the same
degrees that the Columbia boys do, so here
there is perfect equality of the sexes. Up
till now Barnard has paid it's way without
any strong bid for public assistance.
But at this juncture she has got to have
help, or the good that has been done and
the good that is promised will be lost.

Described by n Pinkerton.

PTTsBURG, July 7.-Captain f. H.
Heinds, in charge of the Pinkertons,
who is now in the Homeopathic hos
pital with badly wounded leg, de-
scribes the scenes of the boats passing
up the river and of the futile attempts
to land the men.
"When we reached the Baltimore and
Ohio bridge above Glenwood," he said,
"the time was about 3 a. m. There was
just daylight enough to show that there
was heavy fog, which obscured the
river banks, but we could hear
shouts and calls of men, women
and children on the Homestead side.
AS we neared the works, firing
commenced from the bank and rattle
of discharging firearms was like the
whirr of bees. The boat in the center
of the two barges steamed up to the
Pittsburg, McKeesport and Youghioghe-
ny railway bridge at the steel works and
then backed down to the landing. When
the barge next the shore swung in, one
Of our men and myself threw plank
ashore. The firing had then ceased, and
we could by this time see swarms
of people crowding from the
tall bank right down to the
waters edge. AS soon as the plank
was thrown ashore, Kline, in advance of
myself started down the plank. Kline
reached the shore and | saw him scuf-
fling with some men. Then the firing
commenced and before had taken two
steps ON the plank, received shot in
the leg and fell on the plank with my
shoulders on the deck. Afterward the
boat pulled out and steamed to Port
Perry, where we were placed on board
of a Baltimore and Ohio train and
brought to the city,"

The Discovery of Glass.

Formerly the glassmaker and soap boiler
obtained most of the alkali required FOR
their manufactures from the ashes of a
kind of seaweed called "kelp" The dis
covery of glass is said to have been origi-
nally made by sailors. who, being cast
ashore by shipwreck, kindled a fire on the
sand, utilizing dry seaweeds as fuel. Be
meath the ashes they subsequently found a
mass of vitrified matter which resulted
from the union at high temperature of
the soda of the seaweed with the silex of
the sand.-Exchange.

NASHVILLE, TENN, June IA
bill was filed in the Chancery court
yesterday by the Governor and Peni-
tentiary Inspectors, through J. I'll.
Pitts, solicitor, against the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad Company,
lessee, and its sureties on the bond
given to the State, to recover bal
ance due on the lease of about $780,
900, about $4,000 paid by the State
for the arrest and return of convicts
released in East Tennessee last fall,
and also about $4,000 expenses in
cured by the State in maintaining
military guards and escorts, made
necessary by the East Tennessee
mining and convict troublts. The
total is $l47, 900.
The bill maintains that sub-leasing
is unauthorized by the lease contract,
as is the law under which it was
made, and that the mining and con-
vict troubles in East Tennessee grew
out of and were caused by sub-leas-
ing. Ii also maintains that the les
sees are responsible for all guard
forces, both civil and military, made
necessary by these troubles, and like.
wise fer the expense of arresting and
returning convicts released by the
mob in Anderson and Morgan coun-
ties.
The lesses, who contracted TO pay
100000 per year for the labor of the
convicts, have persistently refused to
pay to the State The amount of the
lease money for the time that the
miners were masters of the situation
at Coal Creek and Briceville, when
about 500 of the convicts were not
allowed to work, although at the
same time the other 1,1O0 convicts
were putting IN full time at Tracey
City and other places without inter-
ference. They have also failed to
pay the $25 reward and expens for
returning recaptured convicts, and
claim that the State should shoulder
all the expense of maintaining the
militia and transportation.

THE BARGEs BuRNEp.

After the prisoners had been re-
moved from the barges the rioters
had their revenge. They carried oil
into the holds, poured it over the
bedding and furniture and then set it
on fire, first securing them SO that
they could not float down the river
and cause damage at points below.
When the flames broke through the
deck the cheers which rent the air
were deafening. The noise could be
heard miles away. The hills on
either side of the river were literally
crowded with people, who could wit
ness from this point all that was
transpiriug on the battlefield and be
out of range OF the deadly bullets.
The day was one that will be re-
membered with horror by the peo-
pie of the borough, as well as the cit
liens of the entire county, who, for
the second time, will be called upon
to pay the enormous amount of
money entailed in the shape OF riot
lUSses.
AT midnight special train from
Pittsburg went to Homestead and
the Pinkerton detectives w,re re-
moved from there to Pitttburg.
Twenty-seven of their number were
wounded and were sent to the hos
pital. The remainder left early this
morning on western train, presum-
ably for Chicago.

"Dctter leave that monkey alone if you
don't want the dog to bite you; he won't
let anybody fool with his chum." The
speaker was -year-Old Charley Bur
rell, and his remarks were addressed to a
crowd of men and boys that crowded
around him and his two pets. The pets in
question were fine looking silky haired
spaniel and diminutive monkey that
was perched on the dogs back, and seemed
quite at home there. Most dogs would
object to playing horse with such rider,
but Rex not only seemed to enjoy the fun,
but also took it upon himself to resent any
undue familiarity with his rider.
Rex is Charley inseparable companion,
and when the lads father made his young
master a present of a baby monkey the
dog did not become jealous, as some dogs
would, but at once adopted the little
orphan, and has been father to it since
That was eight months ago, and the lit
tie orphan has thrived wonderfully under
the care of its strange foster parent. Jack,
for that is the name of the monkey, shares
ReX's kennel at night and slows himself
away in the dogs warm silky hair, and the
dog sees that not even his young master
can intrude on his pet until it's nap is ended
and it rises of its own accord. One plate
serves for both animals at meal times, and
Jack gets all the choicest morsels, as the
dog never begins to eat until Jack has
finished and retired to his seat on his
friends back.
The strange friendship between the two
has grown so strong that the dog will
never leave the house unless the monkey
is clinging to his back, and many hard
battle has Rex fought in defense of his
friend.-San Francisco Examiner.
