heretofore stated. in fight at the Rog-
er Williams Park Meuagerie at Provi-
dence, r. l., on Wednesday Prince, q
royal Bengal tiger, was killed by his
mate. Princess, after desperate bat

men, and before be was captured he
had killed three hunters at the foot i
the Himalayas.
He was purchased by the commits

her ears on her head and laid ont hef

The tigers came together in their
battle and tore each Others backs with
their teeth. Prince seemed to have
the best of the battle for a time, but
Princess broke away from him and
lcaped upon her adversary. For half
an hour the battle raced and the blood
spurtcd in all directions. The cage
and immediate vicinity looked like 4
slaughter house Finally Princess set
her teeth in her mates neck and held
him until he was dead. She to~e the
meat from his body and drank his
blood. Almost lifeless she lay in the
pond of blood, but raising hers If she
let forth terrible howl as if cheering
her victory. When the noise ceased
the keepers entered the building.
Princess sat in her cage with one paw
upon Princes head, which was nearly
severed from his body
Princess cost originally $1,000, but
she was bought for $1,000. She is said
to be the handsomest animal of hel

Good Words for Kansas.

The United States Investor, OF Bos
ton, the leading investment paper OF
The United States, has these good
words for Kansas:
"The year just closed has been one
of peculiar features. in invesl men'
circles of Kansas. IL has been the
second twelvemunth of the up grad,
after the dullness Of the boom period
and its Immediately succeeding depres-
sion, 1t has not fniIed all its prom
,es hut it ends with the 5 ate in better
condition financially than before in
nearly decade. The year has been
one of conservatism, Of looping of
II extras, Of struggling for lirmrr
basis. The cities that have laid ont
additions in 1892 can be counted on
IN the fingers Of one hand. Nearly
very town IN the State has moved
some buildings from its additions into
the city, condensed and concentrated
its business and residence area, and
given up some Of its spreading suburbs
IN corn and wheat. The towns of
Kansas are improving. The prediction
made by the Investor two years ago
that the then discouraged holders oi
municipal Investments in this State
would. IL they would he patient and
hold on. realize upon :heir securities
handsomely, is coming true. There II
no reason why the well located city
property Of Kansas should not be con
sldered as reliable and worthy of
confidence as the farm property and 1t
viii be. Things are coming its way
and the 1903 county seat towns of thu
State with many others, not the seats
of county government, will hold their
own with cities of their size throughout
the ration.
"The farmers Of X lnslS have had
successful season. and II any Of them
have failed to keep their interest pay
mrnts up, ii has not been tie fault OF
the crop conditions. The State has
raised the largest crop of wheat in its
history, Oats, rye and the smaller
grains generally yielded well. Corn
was in round numbers of bushels for
the State about the same "a 1891, but
some sections had n very light yield.
To be sure, prices of wheat and o. 8
have been low, the former nearly ~
cents less than year ago; but reports
from local banks and merchants
throughout the State are TO the effect
that the year has been exceptionally
prosperous. Court records show a
decreasing number Of foreclosures, an
indication that the crop of that kind Of
legal process from the sowing Of mort
cages in boom times is nearing the end
of its harvest. The farmers are pros
pering as they have not done in some
years. Interviews with bankers and
investment company agents all say
that there are better collections, a more
successful meeting Of interest pay menls
and decidedly better feeling this fall
than one year ego"
