vention OF Cruelty to Animals.


vention OF Cruelty to Animals.
New YORK, June 6-The directors of
che Madison Square garden received an
ultimatum from the American Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It
appears that the directors Of the garden,
imbibing the Spanish fever which has of
late been epidemic in this city, hit upon
the idea of n bullfight. Negotiations were
carried on with a Monsieur Robert, who is
described as the "chef dc quartette" in a
glorious band of fear nothing bullfghters,
man whose name is said to be known
and renowned not only in Spain but also
in France.
Then the directors, having got thus far,
thought OF the society and it's ancient sue
cess in abolishing the sport of bullfghting.
They decided to have no barbed banderillos
stuck in the animals shoulders and TANKS,
but only paste rosettes which would stick
to the bulls skin when deftly pressed by
the nimble picadors. The fight was only
to be Knock bullfight," and in this
shape the scheme was presented to tie
cruelty to animals directors.
These latter gentlemen held meeting
last week and came to the conclusion, in
Mr.. Haines' words, that ian inch given
means an ell taken" The bullfight pro-
motors were promptly informed that they
would incur arrest and prosecution.

Democrats of all shades of conviction.
The Tammany people say that lie is Mt

Dayton is lawyer and an ex-assembly-

and is of Connecticut family. He is
graduate of Columbia College Law school,

has been brought about by the
Introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-coolSed food;
while tits we'll known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything Of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t confines
with the food--imparts to it a
tempting color, delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace Of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice Of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

FIRE ON A STEAMER,
The Queensmoro Caused Excitement OF
Newport News by Asking For Help.

The Queensmore Caused Excitement et
Newport News by Asking For Help.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, June 6.-Fire
aboard large steamer just off pier five
created much sensation here. The steamer
was the Queensmore of the johnson line,
which sailed from Baltimore with a deck
load of cattle and a general cargo for
Liverpool.
Fire was discovered in one of her spare
bunkers just outside the capes, and she
returned, making for Newport News, her
nearest port where she could discharge her
cargo and repair if necessary. The tug
Wanderer, belonging to the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway company, which is
equipped with powerful fire pumps, with
Captain w. N. Cooksey in command, met
the Queensmore q little this side of Old
Point to render such assistance as was
necessary.
The steamship anchored off the Chesa-
peake and Ohio pier and the fire seemed to
he entirely under control. Until some of
the cargo is discharged the amount of dam
age cannot be ascertained, but it is proba-
bly, trifing.
A strange coincidence is the fact that the
vessel is of the same name as the first
Queensmore which caught fire on voyage
from Baltimore to Liverpool and was O

One Way to PLAY the Races.

BALTIMORE, June 6.-The Arlington
bookmakers are said to have been fleeced
out of about 81 900 last week by two New
York sharpers who stood in with New
York operator who withheld the results
of the races on the big track and sent out
prearranged signals over the ticker which
no one but his confederates understood.
The latter then would play the races nc
cording to the tips, and few minutes
later the results would be flashed over the
wires. The Western Union people in
New York, however, caught their man
holding back dispatch, and detective
who came on to Baltimore spotted his
men at once. The conspirators made
their biggest piles on Jim White, Stockade
and Nellie Shaw.

TROUBLE WITH A DRY DOCK.
Bowel Difficulties Experienced by tho Con-
tractor at Port Royal.

trhCtot IOTt tsoyuts
PORT ROYAL, S. c., June GA serious
difficulty has arisen in the construction of
the timber dry dock here which will doubt
less delay the completion of the work
until late date this year. Owing to the
difficulties and novel character OF the work
the contractor was unable to finish the
dock on time, which was April % last, and
he secured an extension of five months.
Matters were progressing well until the
18th of last month, when weakness devel-
oped in the bottom, and in short time
125 feet of the concrete and piling was
heaved up by the heavy water pressure
below Cracks also developed, and al
though the bottom was forced back by
heavy weights about half the distance it
had risen the injury has not yet been COM
pletely remedied.
There are different theories as to the
cause of the break, but the most plausible
one is that the sheet piling which is in
tended to exclude the water in some meas
ire and relieve the bottom of the docl
from extraordinary pressure was not carried
down far enough to perform its function.

success of the whole dock may be threat
