a JAvANEsE TIGER FIGHT.
An Entertainment That Is Dangerous TO
Spectators.

An Entertainment That Is Dangerous TO
Spectators.
An English traveller in Java who saw
one of the tiger fights peculiar to the
island thus describes the strange sport:
THE tiger is set down in a trap in the
center of the Allon-A llon, or great
square and is surrounded by triple or
quadruple line of spearsmen, about
hundred yards distant from him.
when all is ready a Javanese adj
vances at avery slow pace, to the sound
of soft music, and sets fire to the trap,
at the same time opening the door at
the back part of the cage, which, by
the way, is too narrow for the tiger to
turn in.
LAS the fire begins to SINCE his whisk-
ers, he gradually backs out The man,
as soon as he has opened the door, be-
gins walking toward the crowd at
slow pace, and the slower he is, the
more applause does he gain.
The tiger, meanwhile, having
backed out of his burning prison, is
rather astonished at finding himself
surrounded by hundreds of people, each
pointing a spear at him.
If he is bold tiger ne canterS round
the circle, almost touching the spears;
finding no opening, then he returns to
the center, fixes his eye on one spot,
and with loud roar dashes straight at
| it.
HE is received on the spears, and,
Cough he brushes many as if they were
mere reeds, in half a minute he falls
| dead. MERGED by hundred weapons.
In some instances, however, the roar
and charge are too much for the Javan'
ese, and they give way. The sport then
becomes rather dangerous to specta-
tors. youths Companion.

How an Explanation of the KeeIy Motor
Was Received.
"A group of Chicago's young men
were standing not long since near the
corner of State and Madison streets
discussing the many wonderful inven-
tions of this wonderful age, when the
conversation turned upon the Kelly
motor project of several years ago. As
some of the younger members of the
party could not exactly recall its pro-
posed workings, one who could began to

IAN old German laborer, but lately
landed in the country, and. of course,
speaking and understanding the Eng
lish language very imperfectly, paused
a moment, and leaned upon his shovel
to listen. As he would occasionally
catch the words, 'Keely motor, Kelly

sion was seen to fit now and again
across his honest old face. He seemed
to become intensely interested in all
that was said, and would occasionally
ask some question concerning It The
narrator went over the ground quite
carefully, telling how it was proposed,
by series of chambers, valves, pis-
tons and compressors, TO run an engine
from New York to San Francisco with
a gallon or so of water without steam
or fire.
Our Teutonic friend gave earnest
heed to it all, throwing his weight first
upon one foot and then the other, and
nodding his head in the affirmative by
way of approval, and then negatively,
as though panied at some portions of
the recital. Once or twice he said:
'Ish dot bossibler and showed much in
dignation. Finally, after the whole
thing had been carefully explained to
him, taking perhaps an hours time, he
took his old black pipe from his mouth,
spit couple of times or so, wiped his
troubled brow upon the coat he carried
ON his arm, and expressed his opinion
of the Keely motor about a. follows:
'Ish dot so? l don't wood hat believed

kagol Und so dot weller he ke1l lis

couldn't read a BARRIERS sign without

HELD UP THE TRAIN
NORTHERN PAcHE THE NCTlM
Six MasheE Men Boaroed the Train sssear
Livingston and Fleece the PasseE%
gers of Their Money.

HELENA, Aug. 27.--Jrst before rid
night Saturday five robbers held mp
train No A, east bound, on the NorSh-
ern Pacific at point about so mikes
east of Livingston. At = place called
Gray Cliff two men got OF the tender
and compelled the engineer to so ahead
10 a poiut where a bright light was
burning by the eide of the tack. Here
the train was stopped and three more
robbers appeared. The express mes
senger was ordered to open the safe,
hut he had only the com binatioE of the
outside door and coIld not get at the
valnables. There was a good deal of
money and some valEables which ehey
did not get. Three Of the robbers then
stood outside while the other two went
in and passing down the aisle of the
sleepers and coaches collected such
cash and iewelry as the passengers
were frightened into giving up. All
this time a brisk fusilade wac being
kept up and the trainmen and passen-
gers were thoroughly intimidated.
When they had finished the collection
they disappeared.
1t is thought at least part OF them
were old hands, as after an examina-
ton of the safe they decided it would
take too long to blow it open with dy-
Mantle. One of the robbers is IN
doubtedly familiar with the section, as
he gave evidence of knowing some of
the passengers. They are supposed to
have gone into the Mussel Shell coun-
try, where their capture will be diff
