Park Souirrels as Pets.

An interesting scene is witnessed
at the Central park ZOO at Z o'clock
every morning. Punctually at that
hour, rain or shine, a tall, gray
haired man of military bearing ap-
proaches the wooded lawn just north
of the Dannemouth arch and raps
loudly with his cane on the wire rail
ing that borders the path. In an in
stant dozen or more nimble gray
squirrels spryly clinbdown the neigh
boring trees'and skip across the grass
to the feet of the man who seems to
thus exercise a peculiar power over
them. The secret of his charm is
soon divulged, for he pulls out a
handful of peanuts from capacious
pocket and scatters them among his
visitors. New York Letter

Oscar wilde's wateroress Sandwich.

Recently Oscar Wilde entered a
certain restaurant in the Haymarket
and was heard to ask for a water
cress sandwich.
In due course the watercress sand
wich was brought to him; no slight,

of beautiful things and the dilettante
of things delightful" but stout,

This Mr.. Wilde ate with assumed
disgust, but evident relish, and In

"Tel the cook, with my compli-

She Swallowed an Umbrella.

A New Castle correspondent to the
Pittsburg Times is responsible for
this story: Several days ago COW
belonging to Thomas Jennings of
West New Castle became very ILL.,
She refused to eat and seemed to suf-
fer extreme pain. DR.. w. Coleman,
a veterinary surgeon, concluded the
COW was suffering from the effects
of some foreign substance in her
stomach. He made a large incision
in the cows side, and in doing SO his
knife scraped an iron substance,
After some little work he succeeded
in removing an entire umbrella.
The ribs had become loose from the
handle and worked their way
through the lining of the stomach.
They were easily pulled out. The
handle was next recovered, and to it
was clinging the cover of a "a inch
umbrella. How the COW managed to
swallow it is mystery. The COW
will recover.

The Edge of a wlndstorm.

A curious example of how sharply
the edge of a windstorm may be de
fined is reported by the captain OF
the bark Peter Tredell. When of
Valparaiso recently, the captain says
a whirlwind came along and passed
over the stern of the vessel. A great
sea accompanied the wind, and every
sail and movable thing on the after
part of the ship were carried away.
The forward part of the vessel was
untouched by the storm, which
passed away in the distance, leaving
a train Of foam in its ake.-New

he saw the boat start toward him.
Knowing that he would be at their
mercy in fight at close quarters.
and that his only hope of preventing
the smuggling was by delaying it,
Phil pulled toward the shore shout,
ing for help.
The unequal race was soon ended,
the pursuers crashed alongside and
Sandy grasped Phil by the arm. The
boy twisted himself free, and brand.

He continued to shout at the top of
his voice.

the blow aimed at him, wrenched
away the oar, and was just seizing
Phil when he caught glimpse of
boat swiftly bearing down upon
them. Without an instant's hesita-
ton he turned and slid silently into
the water and disappeared.
Startled at this. McGregor glanced
around, and in a flash he, too, saw
the danger, but too late to follow
Sandy's example. A dark lantern
blinded him, and he was ordered to
hold up his hands.
"McGregor, you're caught at last,
cried one of the officers from the pa

The hearse left the family residence
at 2:30 followed by the longest line
of carriages ever seen in the riverside
town. During the day the remains
were viewed by the friends of the
deceased who passed too and fro by the
lowered bier with sorrowful faces and
fearful eyes. Willing hands dropped
wreaths on aud near the coffin of the
dead, and the grief stricken family
were assured by words of kindness
that the wife and mother was loved
by all who knew her while in life.
A large number of people from Car

vices were conducted by Father Cline
of this city. He delivered the regu-
lar service at the house and an elo>
auent sermon at the grave touching
upon the countless excellent qualities
and charities Of the deceased whose
life was full OF good doing towards
the world.
When the deceased was 10 years

few hours when it took fire and 100
lives were lost before help arrived.
Among the few saved was the late

Was it Murder!

chihuahua. Mex. April %. An
American named Charles w. Hem
derson, who is said to have rich min
ing interest in the San Juan district
of Colorado, arrived here about two
weeks ago. He was on his way to
the Batopilas mining camp, in the
heart of the Sierra Madre mountains,
in the southwest corner of Chinhua-
hua. After spending three days here
he left for that camp on burro, &C
companied by Mexican as guide.
The Mexican returned last night,
bring the first intelligence received
here of the tragic death of Hender-
son. He says that they were about
ninety miles southwest of here and
were preparing to camp late one
evening in the bottom of a deep
gulch, when a mountain lion snrang
from the rocks above upon Hen
derson.
The battle was terrible one be-
tween the man and brute and re-
suited in a victory for the latter.
The Mexican made his escape during
the fight. The authorities have or
dered an investigation OF this story,
which is generally disbelieved. 1t is
thought that Henderson was muir
dered by his guide.
