Extraordinary Capture of Hawk.

EXTRAORDINARY capture OF . HoWk.
On one of the cold mornings during

around the neck OF the fowl close TO it's
body, but the duck was I'm deep water,
and true to lis nakure II ducked and drew
the hawk with it under the water.
Again the duck dove, which was too
much for his hawkship. The hawk re-
leased its hold on the duck and with diff
Guilty Topped its way to the shore. The
weather was cold and froze the feathers
of the hawk together so that it could not
fly. William Halter was q witness Of
the capture and escape game between
the hawk and duck, and when it was all
over he took . hand at'the game by cap
turing the hawk. The bird measured

An American Composer inTEngland.

America is not generally looked upon
as the home of composers, but possibly
this is rather due. to the narrowness of
our vision than to any lack of productive
capacity. There is just now in England

achievements as q song writer, deserve
for him q place among the best of, con-

To Remedy the smokeles. rowde

A certain Herr Paul Riehm has in
vented a mist or fog ball with which to
envelop your enemy in deep mist-nay,
even a thick fog-which shall not be
surpassed, claims the inventor, even by
London particular. These fog balls
are easily broken spheres containing
ammonia and acids which upon escap-
ing create fog that envelopes all around
it until blown away by the wind.
Battles, though, are not always fought
on MINDLESS, calm days. But, says the
inventor, with this fog around them it

the range or to reply to the fire Of the

Sig.s OF Spring.

Sound Of gusty driving rain
When we wake at midnight hour.
Ice tipp'd branches on the pane
Beating music to the shown. 81 rs
Crows that cav from steaming woods.
Robins piping In the glades.
Buds that from their winter hoods
Peep and blush like pretty maids. s
Grateful doors Of damp earth.
Boist'rous glee Of muddy rills,
Shouting, brawling in her mirth,
Down the bare TANKS of the hills.
Here and there a crocus' head
Thrusting up to dare the cold,
While its sisters, warm in bed,
Stir their coverlids of mold.
Spring is coming; spring is near;
She is whispered in the air.
Soon the blithe nymph will be here,
Shaking blossoms from her hair.

Oond6ctor Burke Had Sand.

fresh theatrical people lesson not long ago
says the Pittsburg Post. They were en- route
from Allegheny to New Castle, and twelve male
members of the troupe were In the smoking
car and acted not only as if they owned it, but
the entire road and a good slice of the earth
They doubled up several seats and proceeded to
indulge in boistero game of draw poker
Their talk verged very near the downright OBJ
scene at times, greatly to the annoyance of the
other passengers. Assistant Superintendent
Williams CHANGED to be on the train, and in
and demonstrated They paid little attention
to him, except to abuse him, and ap-
piled a vile name to him after he
had passed out. Somebody reported this to
Conductor Burke, who taps the beam at 22O
and whose muscles are hard as iron He went
back TO where the barn stOrmers were holding
high reyelry, and walking up to the crowd broke
out: You fellows called Supt Williams a dirty
name when he was not in hearing. Now am
here and want you to understand you can't
call me that, and that | won't permit such con-
duct on this train. l am running it, aud
l intend to run it, and l will allow
no interference from such a gang as
you. Why, l can whip the whole crowd
of you, one by one. II you don't believe it will
sidetrack the train and any one of you can step
off and will show you. Why, there isn't man
among you. want you to understand that this
noise has got TO be stopped, and you will have TO
behave as gentlemen"
Not one of the ranters dared lift a hand against
the sandy conductor as he lowered above them
and administered the tongue lashing and from
that on they were quiet, and not another card
was turned until they arrived at New Castle
Junction.

The Maryland democracy. being sound to the
core upon these two great issues OF the day,
turns naturally to Mr.. Cleveland as their best
exponent and sturdiest champion. He recre-
ated the Democratic party with the issue Of
tariff reform and gave it life and strength to
win its brilliant series Of victories IN 1890 and
1891. He planted himself as firmly as rock in
opposition to initiation and in favor of sound and
honest money, and when the waves of financial
heresy, which beat against him for time, re-
ceded, they left his position uDmoyed and perF
fectlY detlned.
