Poar TOWNSEND. May 30.-fSpecial. T.
Joe Kuhn is being eroomed and placed in
traisine for h race for collector Of Gus
toms. Tibbals has offered up Kuhn ~ an
oiivs branch to Saunders a. . compromise
candidate. Saunders respectfully declined
the 4fier with thanks. Tibbals il anxious
to effect . reconciliation with Saunders il

his wounded political pride. A bad as
Tibsals wants an office he had the nerve
to rscline the young commi;teeman's
gift. Wallace told Tibbals that il anyone
was appointed collector from Port Towns
end Il would be Saunders. The pres
idewt, however. so Tibbals says that Wal

about Joe Kuhn. Il will DO remembered
thai Kuhn presented some strong indorse-
ments for the Office eight years ago. They
weie ignored. and Beecher was appointed.
Runor has il that Cleveland subsequently
expressed regret in not having chosen
kuan instead Of Beechcr.
T. pom this information Tibba,s Is care

Drawing In Kuhn's favor. He is in for
any move that will defeat Saunders. Kuhn
says that he has not and never will file an
application for the Office, yet he admits
that he is a candidate. When Kuhn made
these assertions he had in mind the fate Of
ccrsain a%spirants for district attorney and
United States marshal and remembered
that q couple OF non-applicants got the po-
sitigns. Another reason for kuhn's action
is t5at while he was q member of the ma
iona Democratic committee he expressed
a decided opinion that David d. Hill was
moe eminent'y qualified for president
than Mr.. Cleveland. This was said when
Hills chances looked very bright for the
noia nation. Now /. is that Joe Kuhn
doesn't propose TO afford Mr.. Cleveland
another opportunity to turn down a Hill

Fair dealing is characteristic OF the
typical New York newsboy Some men
would hesitate to give him quarter to
take around the corner to get changed, but
persons who have carefully observed the
distinguishing traits of the newsboy would
have no such fear. Wednesday afternoon
gentleman bought four cents worth Of
newspapers In Park row from small boy
whom he had never before seen He ten.
dered a ten cent piece in payment, and the
boy, muttering something about mo
change" clasped the coin In his dirty fist
and darted down the street. While wait
ing unconcernedly for his change the gem
tleman was aceosted by friend, who in
vited him into an adjacent art gallery.
When they came out the purchaser of the
newspapers had forgotten all about his
change and went his way without it, The
following day, as he was passing through
Park row, he was stopped by newsboy,
who brusquely remarked Say, mister,
why didn't yer wait fer yer change yester-
day' Here's yer six cents. New York

1t is popularity supposed that the lion is
the most courageous and powerful of the
carniyora. Or at least Of the felida, but on
the few recorded occasions Of battle royal
between the lion and the Bengal tiger the
lion has come off second best. One such
combat occurred recently at the Calcutta
Zoo between an African lioness and a

compartments Of the same cage, and the
door having been carelessly opened between
the two compartments the tigress rushed
in and disposed of her rivalin II fight which
