FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE,

Bert Barnes is a lineman in the en-
ploy of the Sunset Telephone Com
pany in Los Angeles. The other
day he was sent to the San Fernan-
do Valley to make some repairs on
the line. Having climbed to the top
OF telegraph pole and finished the
repairing, he started to descend,
when he heard scream. Looking
around, Barnes was startled to see
an eagle of immense size swoop
towards him. Dropping everything
but hammer, he prepared for fight.
The eagle darted upon him and
struck at him fercely with talons
and beak. The lineman welded his
hammer with such effect as to finally
drive the bird away, leaving him
bleeding from the claw wounds
and almost exhausted. Barnes was
preparing to descend from his bat
tle-ground when he saw the bird
swooping down for a second attack
He waited until the bird was right
on him, when he struck it a blow
with the hammer that stunned it,
and it fell to the ground, where it
was bound before it recovered. He
brought it to this city. Fortunately
the mans eyes escaped injury, but
his face and shoulders bear evidence
of the lerocity of the bird, which is
of tremendous size.-[San Francisco

CONGRESS OF THE CROWS.

The popularity of the weather this
year appears to have had most
singular effect upon the feathered
tribe. At times the sky of this Sec
ton of Bavaria is darkened with
crows which, according to authentic
reports, to the number of 100000
to 100000 nightly assemble near
the Bohemian frontier, at a place
called Grun.
The most celebrated ornithologists
Of Vienna and Berlin have visited
this bird camp, which occupies a
space Of four to five acres in pine
forest. 1t is most interesting to
visit by day when the birds are
away. They fly to the roost about s
to 8 p. m, and it takes them as long
in the morning toget away Letter

NEARLY WRECKED BY A BEAR.

Four men in boat had an excit.
ing scrimmage with an enormous
bear on Lake Whatcom. They were
on a fishing trip, and were armed
only with an ak and pistol. They
saw it swimming in the water and
opened FIRE. The bear made straight
for the bow of the boat, with its
eyes like small balls OF fire and its
mouth open wide. 1t seized the
boat, tearing piece of wood off the
gunwale several inches in length
then lodging the blows of the ak
that were directed at him, brui IN
gave the side of the boat a swipe
with his paw, nearly overturning it.
But just then the pistol and the AK
got in their work, and the bear gave
up the fight and the ghost. The
carcass was towed ashore and
weighed nearly 800 pounds.-[The

ATACTORS.

Enormously fat actors have been
numerous in France, and the record
maker among them was probably
Gros- Guillaume, low comedian,
who was obliged to have himself
hooped like a barrel by three belts,
the uppermost under his armpits;
his belly was said to walk ten PAGES
before him. Another fat actor was
Dessesarts, for whom table had to
be specially made to enable him to
get under it in "Tartuffe." He in
variably created roars of laughter
when he declared in the role of Petit
lean that he was beginning to grow
thin since he had lost his sleep" as
well as when in the "Siege de
Calais he appeared at the head of
his fellow.citizens, wasted to
skeletons by long and terri
BILE famine!" Dazincourt, in his
Memoirs" mentions an actor
named Prevot, an artist of great
talent, who having had his feet
frozen in Russia, was obliged to have
his toes amputated. In consequence
of this operation his stage walk was
so stumbling that the poor fellow
never ventured to appear in Paris
but he obtained a great reputation
in the French provinces, where he
was such a favourite that the pub
lie overlooked his inhrmity.-

middle Geoi gia, and it involves two

red fox come from, and where is he
going' What instinct has led this
rough-and-tumble emigrant into
Georgia and is now beck oning him
out This movement was noted by
the fox-hunters of middle Georgia
more than a quarter of century
ago. During that time there have
been movements and counter-move-
ments, disappearance and reap
pearances-all signs of unrest and

movement mas Deen towards the
southwest. What irresistible i'm
pulse leads or pushes him in that
direction? Water has more terrors
for the red fox than for the house
cat. 1t is only in the last extremity
he will take to it, but in coming
hitherward, as in going away, he
has forded streams and swum rivers.
He has crossed the Savannah, the

he has crossed and is still crossing the

FAILED TO CONNECT
The Orders of the Leaders of
Chicago Labor
AND THE WISHES OF THE WORKMEN

Carpenters Refuse to Quit, and Have Rus
sell, of the Building Trades Council,
''Fired" from the Grounds with Black
Eye-The Strike a FaiIure-Much Hust-
ling Going on at the Exposition Site,
Preparing for Monday.
CHICAGO, April 45.-President A. p.
Russell, of the Building Trades Council.
went down to Jackson park to see why the
carpenters had not obeyed the order to
strike. The pass on which he entered the
grounds provides that he shall not inter
fere with the workmen. Russell disre-
garded this, however, and ordered the men
at work on the German building to quit.
They refused to do So and as Russell per-
sisted in his efforts to induce the men to
strike they called on the Columbian guard
to eject him from the building.
Russell Gets a Black Eye.
After lively scrimmage, in which Rus
sell got black eye and one two of the
put in the patrol wagon and carted to the
police station. His pass was taken from
him, and 10y direction OF Director of Works
Burnham he was escorted outside the
grounds and released The refusal of the
ment for the leaders of the movement, but
there never was an effort to set up Il strike
III this city which had less sympathy from
the general public or the press. Chicago
is very much interested in the success ot
the Worlds fair enterprise-about Sl5, 600,
600 worth-Gnd anything that is calculated
to embarrass the management at this crit
ical time will get the cold shoulder with a
vengeance.
Was Cog Out Somewhere.
Somehow the strike did not matericlize
as largely as it gave promise to. The
walking delegates We're there and the
work, but the interruption was very brief.
1t would seem that the 800 men who
ordered the strike of 1000 had no represen-
tative of the men at Jackson park anon :
them. At any rate the men down there
would not be denied the privilege of work
ing and after some warm discussion
with the walking delegates walked into
the park-all of them nearly, it is believed
and went to work as usual Neither did
the strike develop to any great extent in
the city, as it turns out.
How the Carpenters Felt.
The fact is that among the carpenters
there was well-defined disposition to con-
tinue their work. Every union man knows
that further agitation of the question that
has provoked so much trouble on the
grounds will result simply in their uncon-
ditional discharge. The men who handle
the departments of the Worlds fair are in
no mood for tSifling at this criticaf SiYne..
With but week TO prepare the fair fer
opening they will tolerate no nonsense, and
the men know that their leaders are in the
wrong. They are not in sympathy with
the resolutions adopted by the council and
it is safe to say that an attempt to enforce
them in Jackson park will cost the union
many members.

ONE WEEK TO THE OPENING.
A Whole Lot of Work to lie Done in n
short Time Time

A Whole Lot of Work to lie Done in n
short Time Time
Only one short week-short one day in
fact-remains before the exposition is for
mally opened to the public, and into that
week tremendous amount of work has
to be crowded. Hustling will be the order
of the day, and a complete Transformation
will be effected within the grounds during
the week Installation will be pushed TO
the limit, roads will be made and repaired,
a big force of men will sweep I he park from
north to south, clearing away the debris
and removing all traces of construction
work as they go Muddy roadbeds covered
with plank-heavy wagons driving over
them and the mud squirting four feet
high between the cracks-thiS has been the
state Of affairs on the Worlds fair grounds
for the past week.
Putting "A stopper 1t.
But a stop has been put to this, and
wagons are restricted to definite line of
roads. The landscape department is con-
sequently at work with all the term i'm
plies. For it has a herculean job before it
Probably there are few men who standing
in Jackson park yesterday could have been
convinced that by Monday morning next
anything like grading or hardening could be
done with the system of roads and path
ways through the park Yet Superinten-
dent Alvord was positive that there would
be little to do when that time arrived
There are SO, 600 square yards of macadamiz-
ing to lay for thing. The borders of
the roads have to be trimmed, the dirt
has to be taken off those roads which have
been metaled. The cleaning of the grounds
is a big job.
Many Hands Make Light Work.
1t will be done, say the men who are in
charge, and that human steam engine.
Director of Works Burnham, says it will
be done in three days. About 5000 men
will be put at work. The matter that is
farthest behind now is the installation of
exhibits. Rush orders have been issued
by Director General Davis and he says be
will dumfound the croakers and pessimists
with the results of the last weeks work
There will be no hitch in the opening of
the fair according to promise, and the
earliest visitors will find the great bulk of
the exhibits in place. That means that
there will be more to see than one pair of
eyes can possibly take in in month.
Chief Allison, of the manufactures build
ing at the Worlds fair, has announced
that all the space assigned to dilatory ex-
hibitors would be confiscated if not actual
ly occupied by Wednesday night By oc-
cupation was meant the building of plat
forms and other evidence of earnest inten-
ton
