KILLING n PANTHER.
An Exciting Encounter in Which
the Dangerous Beast Was Killed

An Exciting Encounter in Which
the Dangerous Beast Was Killed
Albany Morning Express.
David Hilterlne has a lumber camp
near Canada lake. N. Y, and a few
dogs ago some of the men employed by
him discovered panther tracks IN the
snow which were apparently fresh. A
party OF six started in pursuit. All had
rifles or shotguns except one, and he
carried an ak. They followed the tracks
until they had gone about halfway be-
tween the Hilterlne and the Stewart
mill property, when the man with the
ak turned about and began to run.
About ten feet ahead of them was the
panther. facing the hunters and crouch
ed down on his launches with tail
Wagging and just in the act of making
spring. Quick as fash Harvey DoXta-
ter. who was one of the party. brought
his gun to his shoulder, and, while the
panther was in the air coming toward
them, he sent bullet thu Tough the skull
of the beast, and he died at their feet.
After the panther was dead the other
hunters distinguished themselves by
firing at him and filing him up with
lead. Not to be outdone. the man with
the ak came up timidly and gave him
blow over the head sufficient to fell an
OK. But for the good shot made by
DoXater the probabilities are that one
OF the number would have been torn to
pieces before the beast could have been
killed.
The panther measured just six feet
from tail to nose. This is the first
panther that has been shot or has been
seen in this vicinity for many yeaas.
The night following the killing of the
vicious beast the scream OF another
panther was heard. The sound come
from the mountain on the side Of West
lake

sitting in the SHADE of a grocery store.

"Ah, | notice some excitement in

he said.
The correspondent nodded.
Thought so by your asking that
question:" continued the colonel.
''Well, merely wanted to know if
there was any race feeling here" said
the correspondent apologetically.
''And L said there was considerable
just now" asserted the colonel provok-
ingIy.
May l ask what is the cause of it ?''
"Of course. This is free country"
"Well, what is it q"
The colonel began to grin.
''It's mostly owing to a match that's
coming off this afternoon between Cen
Sparks gray colt and Maj Longs brown
filly, down in Col. Wigginton's field,
and the whole towns going to take

see what race feelings are in this neck

The correspondent tumbied at once,
and when lie returned in the evening
he discovered that the race feeling had

Perhaps it is due to this ambition that

THE FASTEST CITY.
New Workers Are the Most Dissi-
pated Men on Earth.

New Workers Are the Most Dissi-
pated Men on Earth.
New York World
New York is probably the most disSi-
pated city in the world.
Paris, which has reputation for fast
living, is not to be compared with New
York. The Frenchmen have reduced
their dissipation to science. They
know how to enjoy themselves without
necessarily suffering evil consequences.
New Workers, however, do everything
in a rush, The desire to make money
and after making it to make more is the
ruling passion here. The average New
York man will hurry and scramble
around all day in the desperate en-
deav0r to amaSS more dollars than his
neighbor.
When night comes he is worn out in
body ana mind, and nature demands
that he takes rest and recuperate his
strength. Instead Of going to bed and
to sleep he goes out and sees the town.
When he finally does go to bed he falls
into drunken stupor, from which he is
obliged to awake in three or four hours
in order ia jump once more into the
hunt for dollars.
Inc n0Xb HlSuL is the same, anu GIllS
sort of thing continues until the mans
mind begins to give way. When once
he has reached this stage there is alb
solutely no hope.
Paresis never lets go it's hold.
There are, of course, other Young men

enough to get paresis with. They i'm
mediately set to work to dissipate, and
by devoting all their energies i'll this
direction eventually succeed in becom-
ing paretics. There was patient of
this kind at the asylum last year who
was scarcely twenty years OF age.
Usually about forty or forty-fve is the
paretic age.
The disease is also prevalent among
actors, but it is easy to account for this.
Besides keeping unnatural hours, actors
are subjected to a temptation from
which the ordinary mortal is free. More
over, as soon as man goes on the stage
he instinctlvely adopts a lower moral
standard which he finds it agreeable to
live up to.

wonder where he was. When word
came back from Albany that he had not
returned there the whole city was
aroused. Rewards were offered, the
sewers and the rivers were examined.
All sorts of theories were advanced and
facts were sought to sustain each.
1t was held by many that in going
down toward the Battery he had lost his
way in the storm and had fallen into the
river. But his friends did not put much
faith in this, as he was man of singu-
larly clear mind, and was never known
20 no "tsent-minded Or obllviOuS Of his
surroundings, and he was as familiar
with lower Broadway as with his own
street in Albany. 1t was said that he
had been killed and his body dragged
away and hid securely. This theory had
wider belief, for New York's night
streets were not so safe in those days as
they are now. Some people thought
that robbery was the motive for the
murder, while others thought that some
enemy, hating him for something he had
done as a Judge, or in politics, had made
away with him.
But it was all theory. At first the re-
wards were offered for discovering him
or his body. Then large sum was Of
fered for any trace OF him. But no one
ever even applied for the rewards. The
disappearance was utter, and no one
will ever know the cause.

FACTS ABOUT COINS.

Very Rare Specimens Found in
the Philadelphia Collection.
The Philadelphia mint has very
wonderful collection of coins, says the
PittSburg Dispatch. Among other curl
osities it includes what is believed to be
the Oldest piece of metal money ever
made, which was mlnted in Aegina
about roo B. G. The design is in high
relief, representing a tortoise crawling
across the face of the coin. 1t has
no date. Dates on ccins were
unknown up to 400 yaers ago.
The very early coins bore designs
only on one face. OF all coins that have
ever existed, the smallest in value was
the mite" such as the widow in the
Bible dropped through the slot of the
poor-boX. The most valuable coin in
the collection described is Chinese
piece worth 1920. 1t is simply rec
tangular chunk of gold, stamped
with Chinese characters. Jumps
of gold are commonly used in
China for currency OF large de-
nominations. \ coin minted in Egypt
bears the head of Queen Arainoe, who
was Cleopatra's great-great-gr eat-great-
great-great-grand Queerest OF
all the coins are those from Siam
irregular, roupdish Jumps of silver,
from the bigness OF a walnut to that of
half buckShot. Modern coins, though
the mechanical processes for producing
them have been so highly improved, are
far inferior artlstically to those of an
cient times.
In Babylon of old, which fell before
coming was invented, gold and silver
were weighed out with scales for use as
money. The earliest form of money is
still in use today IN Southern Asia, in the
islands of the Pacific ocean, and parts
of Africa, where cowrie shells are the
favorite negotiable medium. They are
usually quoted at about 100 for = cents.
Many of them are obtained from the
Maldive and Laccadive islands in the
Arabian sea.

itself into class meeting.

who seemed under deep convic-

inclined to take him by the hand and
try to instill confidence, not to say
righteous ambition. into him. Yet, left
to his own thoughts, as soon as there
was lull in the speaking, the poor man
solemnly arose, and, casting a fright
