In one of the older manuals Of the
common council Of New York there APP
pears an interesting directory OF this
city for the year 1865. Then there
we're exactly twenty streets and a pop
ulation of PSI. Broadway at that time
was De Here STRAIT (the principal
street,. The Battery was Aen de Strandt
van de N. Reveir. Wall street was De
Waal, Pearl street was De Perel STRAIT,
Whitehall street was De Winckel STRAIT,
William street was In de Smits valley
Qn the smiths valley, and Broadway
above Wall street was Buyten de Liant
Poort (outside the land gate). All Of
the residents were Of Dutch extraction,
with the exception Of one whose name
appears in the list as Jacob, the French
man.
There were Roosevelts, Beekmans, De
Peysters, De Puys, Van Cortlandts and
Verplancks in those days. CLANS, oys-
ters and fish formed the principal food
of the settlers at that period. Occasion
ally in the spring New York was visited
by "such amazing flights of wild pigeons
that the sun was hid by their focks from
shining on the earth for considerable
time; then it was that the natives laid
in great store Of them against day Of

willcd His Heart to His Es,ranscd wife.

Mnjor Earl Brandt, IN old German
newspaper man who died Tuesday, left
will containing II queer bequest. He
bequeathed his heart to his wife and left
directions for placm; it in her possession.
It seems that Major Brandt married
while young man. md his wife is still
living in Germany. For sore reason his
married life was unhappy, and he came
to America, leaving his wife in the old
country. Though estrunged from her
for life. il seems that his love for his
wife never ceased, and he frequently de-
clared that as his heart was still hers she
should have it after his death. In ac-
cordance with the provisions of the will
the heart h. been removed from the
body and will be forwarded to Mrs.
Brandt.-St Louis Cor. indianapolis

Men Who Abuse Privileges.

Chambermaids at swell hotels soon be-
come great students of human nature.
1t does not take them long to size up
either the social or financial standing OF
the guests.
For instance, one showed her acumen
in this direction the other day when
happened to call her attention to the ar
ray of six towels on the rack over the
washstand in the bathroom.
Think that extravaganza said the
bright young woman. "Well, don't you
make any mistake!"
But it most cost the house lot for

unless they are not used to them at
home. Men who are accustomed to the
luxuries of life do not take advantage of
the supply. 1t is only the class who usu-
ally wipe their faces on roller towels
who abuse our generosity"
And doubtless the girl knew what she
was talking about.-New York Herald.

Upon tho minds Of such n people rs
the Hawaiians were, while under their
ancient form of religion, it was but nat
ural that superstition should gain u
rooted hold. The most curious and ef-
fective belief TO which they were made
subject was that u man can be prayed to
dcath-a belief that survives among the
natives to the present day. For the sue
,ess of the tragical death prayer it was
necessary to obtain some hair or piece
Of finger nail Of the intended victim. A
priest was then employed to use incanta-
ton and prayer for his destruction. AL
ways informed of the doom that the
priest was invoking upon him, the vic
tim generally pined away and died.
There is a story current that an Eng
lishman in the service of Kamehameha
I, having incurred the displeasure Of n
priest, the latter proceeded to remove"
him by the death-prayer process. The
Anglo-Saxon, however, set up an opposi-
ton altar in derision, and jokingly pro-
claimed that he intended to pray the
priest to death. Alarmed at the threat
and overwhelmed at the failure If his
own incantations, the sorcerer died, prov
ing by his death his faith in his religion.

a happy wedlock is a long falling in
love. know young persons think love
belongs only to the brown hair and
plump, round, crimson cheek. So it does
for its beginning, just as Mount Wash
ington begins at Boston bay. But the
golden marriage is part of love which
the bridal day knows nothing of. Youth
Is the tassel and silken flower Of love;
age is the full corn, ripe and solid in the
ear. Beautiful is the morning of love,
with its prophetic crimson, violet, SAT-
fron' purple and gold, with its hopes of
days that are to come. Beautiful also
is the evening of love, with its glad re-,
membrance and its rainbow side turnedI
toward heaven as well as earth.-TheJ.

Fish have many times been taught to
perform tricks, and IL would appear as
If they had much more intelligence than
IS attributed TO them. Mr.. j. A. Bailey
Of circus fame once had two brook trout
in 70 small aqunriumiu his private resi-
dcncc that would jump out of the water
and take flies held between tuc forcfinger
and thumb and would also ring little
bell when they required food. They
would also leap over little bars of wood
placed about two inches above the sur
face of the water.
Il is very simple matter to teach the
fish these tricks At first little tower
containing tiny, sweet toned silver bell
was fastened TO the iron work of the
aquarium with piece of string attached
TO the tongue of the bell extending into
the water where the trout were. On the
loose end of the string an insect or other
tempting morsel was placed, which the
fish would mt once seize, and pulling the
cord the bell in the tower would na'u
rally tinklc. After this had been re-
peated several days the fish were left
without food for some little time until
they made the discovery that they could
obtain it by pulling at tho string to
which the dclicacics had been attached.
This they never failed to do ever after
ward when they were hungry and as
that was nearly all the time the little
bell was constantly tingling as the fish
were continually pulling the cord, and
it was quite pretty and novel sight

notes an important change in the early

ment in the army or navy, and the city
was thus severed from the counties.

A Consignment of Brook Trout Sent
to the Rio Tesuque To-day.

Yesterday j. W. Ackers, president of
Santa Fe Gun club, received telegram
that the U. S. fish commissions car would
arrive here to-day with consignment of
eastern brook trout for the Gun club.
Mr.. Ackers had teams and men on hand
to receive them this morning. There
we're 1000 lively little beauties yearlings,
in the cans and Messrs. Jackson and
Piersol started with them at once for the
Rio Tesuque. The fish we're In splendid
condition. There did not appear to be
sick one among them.
1t will be remembered that about this
time last year 5000 of these gamey fish
were set free in the Santa Fe creek. They
are doing well and it is expected that by
next year they will be fully six inches
long. In few years from now if the
fish laws are rigidly enforced every stream
hereabouts will be plentifully stocked
with these hardy, strong fighting fish,
through the energetic action of President
Akers and his associates in the Gun club.

INJUNCTION SUITS.
The Shrievalty Restraining Order
Made Permanent-MOdifica-
ton of L. L. L.-AnacOn-
da Injunction.

The argument in the matter of the
temporary Injunction restraining Harry
kinsell from exercising the functions of
the sheriff's Office was heard on Tuesday
last.
To-day Judge Seeds granted perma
nent injunction against Kinsell, on the
ground that Cunningham being the de
facto sheriff, the only road for Mr.. Kinsell
to take in an attempt to GUST him is by
bringing quo warranto proceeding so
that the merits of the case can be legally
determined
Outside of the order Judge Seeds ex-
pressed the opinion that this was pre-
cisely the ground he took when the
shrievalty case first came up between
Cunningham and Conklin, namely, that
Mr.. Cunningham could not interfere with
Mr.. Conklin until he brought a quo war
ranto proceeding and it was determined
in his favor. 1t will be remembered that
Judge Fall dissolved the injunction
against Cunningham.
This morning Judge Seeds also entered
another order in the famous Lincoln
Lucky & Lee-Anaconda controversy. The
Lincoln-Lucky people recently made
motion to dissolve the injunction issued
April IL last, giving A., M. Hendry, claim
ant of the Anaconda, possession of the
mine. After full argument and the filing
of many atfidavits, the motion was sus-
tanned in part and the court modified the
old order so as to permit the Lincoln
Lucky people to retain possession of all
that portion of the workings of which
they were in actual possession at the date
of the order, April II, 1898, lying within
the vertical planes extending downward
from the surface boundaries of the Ana
conda mining claim, it being the inten-
tion of the injunction to hold the prop
erty in exactly the status of its date, and
not to Dust the Undoubtedly people or
put Hendry in exclusive charge; but that
the Lincoln-LuckY people are not to re-
move any kind or character of property
or ore, blasted or unblasted; but they may
put in such timbers as are necessary to
conserve tne properly. Hendry is allowed
to enter and visit the mine at all times,
accompanied by not more than three per-
sons to see that this order is obeyed. He
may also, by giving two full days notice,
take workmen into the mine to extract
ore in quantity sufficient to use as evil
dence in any Judicial proceeding where
his rights may be involved. The mine,
therefore, will remain idle until the legal
controversy is finally decided, which, it is
sincerely hoped, will be at this months
term of court.
