GLEASON, THE CONQUEROR.
Five Thousand People Witness
Remarkable Exhibition.

New York, May SIT was a fashion
able horse show assemblage that filled
the boxes at Madison Square garden
last night when Professor Gleason, the
well known horse trainer, met the
vicious Iowa stallion Trocadero in the
arena for a finish fight. There were
fully 5000 persons present.
The horse is valuable and came from
Iowa. On account of his man-killing
he had been shipped to New York in
order that Professor Gleason might
have a chance to subdue his demon
like temper, if possible. The stallion
is a superb looking animal. He is a
registered thoroughbred, and was i'm
ported as a 2-year-old, for breeding
purposes; he was sold but developed
so vicious g. temper as a 3-year-old
that he was sent to his present owner
for less than was paid for him. All
attempts to tame him have failed He
has killed three men who were care
less while in his stall, and has manned
several others.
The Iowa Black Demon" as he has
come to be called in that state. had
not left his box stall for three years
until he was shipped from Bedford
last Thursday. The railroad authori-
ties would not receive him until he
was confined in a strong crate. When
the train started the stallion made
kindling wood of the crate before the
first station out of Bedford was
reached. and it was feared he would
throw his ponderous form through the
side Of the car. but his head was
securely, held in bondage by heavy
rope halterS The animal exhibited no
particular bad temper after leaving
Jersey City or en- route to Madison
Square, but after he had been placed
in a. stall there 1t required the COM
/ bined efforts of six or seven men I'M
der Professor Gleason to release the
bride and head ropes, and this danger
Gus task consumed nearly two hours
time. The beast snapped at everything
his forelegs like an expert boxer. No
blacksmith has ever been found plucky
enough to shoe him.
At 9:45 p. m. o'clock four men with
ropes attached to the nose and head
gear Of the horse led him plunging
into the ring. While all hands hauled
the taut lines Gleason tic6led his sides
and legs with a whip, causing him to
snort and roar with rage. The tanner S
next move was to cautiously approach
and fire several shots from revolver
| held close to TroCaderO's head This
seemed to overawe him and when
! Gleason essayed to fasten a, hopple to
! one OF Irocadero's front peSterns he
met with not much resistance. With
a. pulley rope running from this hopnle
/ to a girth, Gleason lifted the foot at
will and soon convinced his ugly sub
! ject that the man was master of the
situation AS the horse became more
and more helpless through the use oil
this device he seemed to lose heart
and courage, and it was by rapid de.
grees that the tanner bridled, har
messed, hitched and drove the big horse
about the garden.

A WICKED JOKER.
The Franks of Dir. Perkins and
Their ResuIts

inc franks of Mr.. Perkins and
Their Results.
Perkins is tall, angular and practi-
cal joker of the severest type, says the
Boston Post. One of his peculiar pleas
antries is to halt a strange pompous
individual on the street, buttonhole
him and remark with cool assumption:
Il beg your pardon sir, but l think
You have made a mistake"
What is that, sir?" the victim is
likely to ask
Well Perkins will reply, with ut
most audacity, this city does not be-
long to one man or set of men. You
may think you own it. but you don't"
And Perkins will hurry away. leaving
the pompous man to his own reflections
Sometimes he varies this interesting
performance in this highly original
fashion: Stepping up to a total stranger
he will beg for light for his cigarette
This tritling favor having been extend
ed he will engage his victim in CONVEX
sation for a moment. When another
stranger appears. Perkins halls him.
AS he approaches, Perkins introduces
him to the first man.
"Ah, Mr.. Smith, permit me to present
you to my friend Mr.. Brown. Mr.
Brown, Mr.. Smith.
OF course the men shake hands and
Perkins takes his departure, leaving the
strangers to eXtricate themselves from
their embarrassment as best they can
One day Perkins entered a small dry
goods store with a friend. Ranged in
front of the counter were a row of
stools Upon these the men seated
themselves. In a moment a dapper
young assistant came up and asked
Perkins what he desired. For an in
slant he seemed puzzled for reply,
but soon his eyes rested upon the IA
miliar sign: IF YOU don't see what
you want. ask for it," That furnished
him with che.
well. he said, in measured tones.
you can bring me two coached eggs
and cup of hot coffee. What's yours
George he added, turning to his
friend.
Gimme the same" he responded.
! All the girls in the shop stared hard
at the impudent fellows, and the as
! sistant's eyes began TO bulge.
Gentlemen" he replied, with show
! of calmness. you have made slight
mistake. This is q. shop and not res.
taurant. Do 1 look like a waiter?"
| II am not here to answer questions
Young man." said Perkins, as with his
| friend he rose and moved towards the
door. hut if you can't fill orders YOU'D
better go out of the business or take in
your sign
And the iokers vanished out of the
door. Perkins is still at large.

Bingo--We had terrible scare
around at my house the other night.
Kingley-You don't say. What was
it?
Bingo-Well. my wife woke up in the
middle of the night and said, John,
there's some one walking around down
cellar" I listened, and sure enough
there was sound just like quick sue
cession of footsteps. 1 can tell you, old
man, it made my flesh creep
kingley-I can imagine so. But of
course you didn't let your wife know.
Bingo-Oh, no. 1 tried to reassure
her. / laughed 1t off-said she was
dreaming; but pretty soon, thump,
thump, thump. came that noise.
Kingley-Was it a burglar?
Bingo-Say. you might guess all day
and you wouldn't hit it, so I'll
tell you 1t seems that we had tomatoes
for dinner and the can was left down
cellar. Well, sir. our cat was prowling
around down there. and of course she
stuck her nose in that can. Then she
found she couldn't get it out, SO she
went humping around.
Kingley-Well, that was singular
And you found her there when you
went down, did you?
Bingo--Oh. yes. But 1 can tell you.
old fellow, we didn't sleep much the
rest of that night.
Kingley-Why, I should have thought
after you found out what it was, you
wouldn't have had any trouble.
Bingo-True; but didn't go down
there until next morning. Judge

"UncIe Eckford'' Forgot to Put isis
in His VIII.
New York, May S.-Miss Elizabeth S.
Edgecomb says she served the late
Eckford, one of the wealthy Williams
burg ship builders, for nine years as
his housekeeper and companion. The
understanding between them was that
she was TO attend to the details of the
household without salary. but under an
implied contract that he would remem-
Der her in his will. He forgot her and
she is suing Mrs. Sarah E. Buckout
the administrative, for $4,000.
She was asked what personal service
she had rendered Mr.. Webb. and
answered.: II put on his collars and
neckties, combed his hair and fixed his
eggs at the breakfast table. Before he
started for business got him his hat
and coat and gave HIM his cane. When
he came home at night l brought him
his slippers, took off his shoes and put
on his dressing gown"
What did you call him?" Mrs.
Edgecomb was asked.
Uncle Eek. or Uncle Eckford.'
That was at his own request; he called
me Elizabeth and some; times sis.
"Did you ever go out with him?"
''Oh, yes. He took me driving and to
the theatres. l always regarded myself
as his companion and housekeeper."
Mrs. Edgecoulb enumerating Mr..
Webb's qualities said he was stingy
and fond of Dragging of his wealth..
