"Rather Int esting.D

So far as man is concerned, the panther
of India, according to Mr.. r. HI. Elliot is
practically harmless. In proof Of this, or
he calls rather an interesting incident, =
which happened at the house of one of his
friends Rather Interesting will prob
ably seem rather mild form of expression
to some feminine readers
One night my hostess, some time after
retiring to rest, heard a noise in the open
veranda which runs round the side of the
bungalow just outside her bedroom. She
got up, and lamp in hand went round a
corner of the building in the direction Of
the sound. AS she turned the corner there
fell upon her astonished vision the spec
tacle of panther devouring the family
cat Seeing the lady, the panther tried to
make off along the veranda, which at that
point was shut in by trellis, but just
then the cook, who also had heard the
noise, appeared at the opposite end of the
veranda with a lamp in his hand.
The panther turned back in the direction
of the lady. She stood spellbound with
the lamp in her hand, and as the cook to
all appearance equally spellbound re-
manned stationary with his lamp, the pan
ther found himself between two fires and
lay down under table which stood against
the wall.
At last the got up, made move in the
direction of the cook, and then changing
his mind rushed past the lady, and so eff
fected his escape .-Youth's Companion.

Pendergrast the Assassin Hanged at Chi

Chicago, July l3.-U p to eight o'clock this
morning there were no signs on the exterior
OF the county jail that anything out OF the
every oay run of events was about to &C.
cur. AT That hour however, 25 police otncers
from the East Chicago avenue station, un-
der command of Sergeant Sauer, drew up
in double rank at the Main entrance.
1t was nearly midnight when the con-
demned man, Prenderg asst, lay down on the
couch that had been prepared for him in
the private room of Jailer Morris. Five
minutes later,according to the death watch,
he was sound asleep.

THE FIELD OF SPORTS
Our Victory Was Simply Tremendous.
THE BIGGEST SCORE, THE LOOS-
EST, LONGEST GAME.

The Bangors Made 15 Errors-Madden
Gave Three Men Home Base, Nine Men
First Base-Then He Braced Up-His
Hitting was Gilt Edged-A Beautiful
Home Run.
Yesterdays game reminded one of the
games of long ago, when base ball was not
the scientific game it is now. Bangor gave
the worst exhibition of ball playing of the
season on these grounds. Our only weak
spot was Madden, and he was not weak all
the time. When in the second half of the
second inning with the score two apiece,
Madden went to pieces and gave three men
their base on balls, forcing them round with
the bases full, it looked very dubious. The
crowd thought Madden ought to be taken
out, but he braced up and after that they
got but three of their nine runs.
We got our runs by heavy hitting and
heavier errors. Wheeler pitched well and
bravely, and surely pitcher never had a
better reason to be discouraged. In the fifth
inning he struck out three men fair and
square, but Hart muffed the third strike and
Charlie Smith took first base. Then Mad
den came up. He swung at l9w one, in
his vigorous, dexterous fashion, picked it
off the ground almost, and it scared almost
on a line between the trees, and over the
fence of right field. 1t was splendid. But
it wasshard on Wheeler. Two runs, after he
had struck out three men.
Our ninth inning was simply school boy
game. Twelve men went to the plate and
eight of them scored. Every lumberman
that got hold of the ball fumbled it. or
threw it like a mad man. They made seven
errors and Fitzmaurice made three of them
Besides we got six hits with a total of nine.
Following is the score of this remarkable
game:

is COVER ALIVE?
Some Things That Seem to Point in that
Direction.

The report that Mr.. Frederick A.
Cover, the husband of Lillian Norton.
has been seen alive in London, calls out
some interesting testimony, which goes
to show that Cover has been seen and
recognized at least once before since the
balloon ascension in which he was sup.
posed to have lost his life.
Mr.. Henry A. Wing, editor of the Lewis
ton Sun, makes the following statement:
4" A bout two and half years ago, DR..
Fla. Bickford of Bangor, who is friend
of mine and who was also schoolmate
of Cover, told me that when he (Bick-
ford) was in California a short time be-
fore the time of the conversation, that
he had seen Cover and talked with him.
The reason / have never written up the
matter was because I was pledged to
secrecy. AT that conversation DR.. Bick-
ford told me the following story L
know Cover as well as l know you, and
went to school with him. He is not
dead. / was West as an army surgeon,
and | had occasion to e. to California,
and there met Cover. 1t was more
convince me that he was in flesh.
went with him to his rooms. We talked
together for long time. He told me
that he did not go up in the balloon but
that dummy was sent up and the crowd
was deceived and that he disappeared. !"
As to the yeracity of Or. Bickford
Mr.. Wing says there is no lDt, and the
story was volunteered. Cover was we'll
known to the public as an eccentric man,
and besides, there might have been
some reason in his mind, at least, why
he should wish to be lost to his wife,
Further than that there was large
amount of money involved in Cover
estate. money supposed by many to have
come from some mysterious deal between
Cover and the Bell Telephone company
This estate was entahgled in several
ways and this might have furnished a
motive for the strange action of Cover.
When DR.. Biekford's attention WAS
called to Mr.. Wings statement, he said:
The story as given by Mi. Wing is
substantially true. I have known Cover
since he was boy in Sedgwick, Me.
one else, thought him dead, until the
year 1887, when I met him face to face
in San Francisco. At first he attempted
to brush me by without recognition,
but at my persistent advances he finally
acknowledged his identity. There is no
possible doubt of his being actually in the
flesh"
In Sargentville, where Covers people
all reside, it has been the imp-os fou for
years among those outside the ~ ,eli-
ate kin Of Nordica's lost hus that
he still lived and that duiu4A5 and
not Frederick Cover went up in Il bal
loon in the hanks OF he Bosphorus 10
years ago. II haven't the least doubt, y
said former citizen of SargentviIie
that Henry Sargent of Sargentille has
been on correspo ndence with Frederick
Cover for years, and that he knows to-
day just where Cover is"

PROVIDENCE THUGS.
They Rescue a Prisoner and Infiict Fatal
Injuries on Policeman.

Providence, RI, July 13.-Patrolman
Patrick McElroy of the second Division.
was murderously assaulted while on du-
ty at midnight and is now lying in a pre-
carious condition at his home on Bates
street.
9 1t was IL o'clock, when party of ID
men left beer saloon near the raj lroad
bridge on Branch avenue. The men
blocked the highway, and the parolman
asked the crowd to move on, and James
Mulvey "a Lawrence barber, made him
self obnoxious. The policeman placed
him under arrest.
Thislwas the signal for an attack upon
the officer. and the IA men bounced upon
him. With paving block one man
struck McElroy on the forehead and tore
open his scalp for distance of II inches.
McElroy pulled his pistol and fired into
the crowd, but as the weapon was dis
charged he was kicked in the mouth
and the bullet passed over the heads of
the assailants. The mob disarmed The
policeman and all took turns in jumping
upon him as he lay in the street covered
with blood and almost lifeless. The
Lawrence barber escaped and has left
the city. Officer Gilfoil came along aud
the rioters dispersed at quick gait.
The injured officer was carried to the
police station, where physicians attend
ed him. They, pronounced the officer to
be dangerously hurt. Descriptions of
the assailants, such as could be OBJ
tanned, were at once sent out to all
quarters. or
This morning, Sergeant Thomas and
Officers Ahern, ,O'Rourke and Pioneer, of
the second precinct, took two men into
custody on suspicion of having aided
in injuring the policeman. Their
names are Edward M. Reardon and
James Brown. They are held at the
central station pending Investigation.
The police are now looking for Mulvey
and the II men who rescued him and
pummelled the officer. Last night Mt
Elroy went on duty for the first time af-
ter being seriously ill fol-, several days,
he having been assaulted with Il stone
by Byron Simmons, who is now serving
60 days in Jail for the assault.

A GAMBLERS TRICK.
81 Did Not Work In the Case That Is Here
Recorded.

It Did Not Work In the Case That Is Here
Recorded.
You can always beat a gambler at his
own tricks il you ere u fairly good player
and watch his moves and cards closely
enough to get onto his stock tricks, y said
q Stock Exchange man who has the reputa-
tion Of playing very stiff hand when &C.
aston requires. ''Once I sat into five
handed game and started out with $40
worth of chips and lost them. After few
pots noticed that two of the men, who
sat together, had strong proclivity for
aces, and suspected that they were play
ing foul hands BY keeping sharp eye
ing out aces by slipping the cards between
his knee and the under edge Of the table.
When he got hand, he would slip out the
card from beneath with his thumb, show
aces full and then toss them quickly into
the pot.
II got pair of jacks, opened the pot
and pulled my hat down SO that could
watch the fellow closely. He raised the
pot, and I stood the raise. He drew two
cards, and drew three. When drew my
three, didn t stop to examine them, but
put my chips on top of them. Then gath
cred up the deadwood and put it on top OF
the deck and placed the deck close to me.
II then bet check, he raised me, and
tapped him. He called the bet and asked
what had, and replied pair of jacks.
'''And I'vegot ace full, he returned.
g Is that SO? Let me see it, l answered.
what he really did was to draw a
small pair and one ace, having held out
two aces. That made him an ace full
without regard to the cards he drew. But
he had no way of disposing of the cards
that he had drawn and thatleft him with
seven cards. sag
HE doubled up the cards SO as to show
the five that made the ace full and then
tried to throw them on the deck. But
put my hand over the deck and made him
spread his hand down on the table. That
showed up his foul hand and gave me the
pot. ..l - 900
Yes, sir; if you watch a gam bier close
enough, you can usually tell on what line
he is trying to trick you. But Of course
you have to know. the game pretty well. y

Game Today.
On the Deering grounds today the Port
land Athletic clubs team will play the
Saco's and good game is assured. 1t will
be worth while for the cranks to witness
this game. 1t will be different from the
league games, in some respects, more in
teresting, and it certainly won't be any
worse than yesterdays playing.
Base Ball Notes.
Portland goes to Lewiston today. Look
out, you villagites that you don't share
the fate Of Bangor. We are playing ball to
win now and take every chance The way
Slater and Casey steal bases is enough TO
make dumb man cheer. a14f
We shall be sorry not to see Mike Slattery
and his gentlemanly players agai1. 1t is 10
be hoped that the Worcesters' withdrawal
is not final.
1t is also to be hoped that the statement
yesterday. by one likely to know, that Paw
tucket will withdraw soon, is without
foundation.
The disbanded Worcesters will sprobably
play in Brockton, today on the cooperative
plan, andwiu play in Worcester Monday with
the Brocktons for the benefit of Joe Horn
ing. All the bills of the club will be paid.
There is talk of Frank Leonard taking
the team to Dover to finish out the season
in the New England League, good plan.
Joe Hornung's injury is more serious than
first supposed. He has fractured the bone
near the ankle joint.
Freeman. of Haverhill, has at last run up
against pitcher that puzzles him. Four
nier of Pawtucket, who struck him out
three times Thursday. And Anderson of the
Haverhill team made three hits off Four
nier the same day.

covery even after the disease has pro-
crossed SO far as to induce repeated bleed
ings from the lungs, severe lingering cough
with copious expectoration including tu-
bercular matter), great loss of flesh and ex-
IRENE etnaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ica1 Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, beer so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, OF had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo-
phosphites had also been faithfully tried
In vain.

those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skil1fully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on
