entertain the people.
This evening there was a grand dis

Berlin. May 12.-The charges of
fraudulent practices brought against
the American trotting horse owner,
Robert T. Kneebs, has been the SEN
sation OF the sporting world OF Ger
many during the past week, and they
have naturally aroused a great deal OF
interest among the members OF the
American colony in this city.
Kneebs has not asked for the as
sistance of the authorities OF the
United States embassy here, which is
regarded in some quarters as lndlcat-
ing weakness in his case.
The amount of money which Kneebs
is alleged to have obtained by fraud,
so far as the charges actually before
the court are concerned, does not eX-
ceed 5000 marks.
AS the amounts are small, 1t is
not thought likely that they will take
steps to prosecute Kneebs.
News received from Dresden shows
that the man giving the name OF Rich
ard Doring, who was arrested there
charged with fraudulent practices, de-
voted himself chiefly to fleeing hotel
keepers and parties that he met with
at hotels of small sums of money.

Secretary Gresham's paper or

here. 1t has been concluded that the
United States government will sup

nature of the German naval reinforce

been officially announced; but 1t Is
generally understood that three Other

Inquiries made in connection with {

made for the property of the latt
Emin Pasha resulted in the discovery
Of certificate proving that the grea

woman named Emma, widow o
Haiku, Pasha, at Argo, South Tyrol
| His daughter, Paulina, by this mar
rage, thus establishes claims equal t.
those advanced by Emin Pasha's Al
rican daughter, Ferida.
Emin Pasha's marriage with Emma
| it is now presumed, was the reason
| which impelled him to refuse to com
to Europe when Henry NJ. Stanle,
brought him from the interior Of AT
RIGA to the coast.
The law suit in progress about Emil
Pasha's property may possibly b.
further complicated by the fact tina
it has been ascertained that when tn
explorer last went to the Congo h
was accompanied by a native woman
whom Belgians found with a son
year old, when Emin Pasha was mur
! dered near Lualaba. 1t is though
that this woman may also raise claims
to the property of the explorer.

Romano and His Wife Had Beer
Hacked by FaltavO.

Hacked by FaltavO.
On January 81 Michael Romano, of No. 527
Adams street, and his wife were assaulted
on the street, in front of their home, by a
gang of seven or eight other Italians. Ro-
mano's throat was seriously cut, and a large
cash was inflicted also on the neck OF his
wife. Five of the assailants were arrested,
and yesterday they were tried in the Court
of General Sessions on an indictment for as
sault on Romano, with intent to kill. The
accused men were Michael Feltavo, Theo-
dore De Fietiantom, Philip Bontero,
Raphael De Talaro and Antoni Geriento.
The evidence in the case corrobofated the
report of the fight published on January 20
in TIE JERSEY CITY NEWS. Romano was
engaged in taking care of his horse for the
night. 1t was about half-past eight o'clock,
and Romano was apparently at peace with
the world. The gang of Italians referred to
happened along at this time, and were quar-
rellfng among themselves. Romano left his
horse and walked to the street to ascertain
what the trouble was, and his curiosity was
rewarded by having the gang turn their at
tention to him. Some words ensued, when,
as Romano says, Faltaro struck him, and
then. in the general fight which ensued, Fal-
taro and others spt him on the the
in the house at the time, and
| she heard the noise of the fight and seeing
| from a window the peril of her husband, she
ran to his rescue and received serious cuts on
her neck. For some unknown reason the
gang was not indicted for this assault.
After hearing the evidence and learning that
the woman was taken to the hospital and
that Romanois wounds were dressed at the
police station, the jury retired at four
| O'Clock and remained out all night. At q
few minutes before eleven o'clock today the
| jury returned into court and said that nc
agreement could be reached. The jury was

"A ON RUNNERS.

The unhappy Ludwig of Bavaria, who was
drowned some years ago, was the first king
of modern times who made a business of re-
viving the splendid trappings of royalty,
used IN olden times on so extensive a scale.
With him everything in the line of furnish
ings had to be gilt, or of the most precious
material obtainable for the purpose. His
passion for erecting fantastic castles and
villas made him a bankrupt. and these build
ings are now used for show purposes only.
Some of the finest specimens of this sort
of decoration built by the order OF King
Ludwig are the various carriages and
sleighs designed for the Kings use on State
occasions. Among them is q sleigh which
attracts the attention of all lovers OF the
picturesque. It is a very gorgeous means OF
c~onveyance, rich with precious metals,
splendid furs, and all the modern improve
ments money can command.

the helmets and caps of the cavalrymen that

Circumstance, I think, enters more largely
than any other factor into determining what
a particular person or community deems

gored out for them; but being a

is today costs large sums of one to sup

Of its major attractions. We can go farther
afield and find circumstance still swaying a
powerful rule.
Kite-hying does not strike one at first
sight as desperately exciting pastime; but
for centuries wealthy Cinnamon and Japan
esq have contrived to make it so by means of
wagers depending upon the result of a match
at mutual string-cutting. The strings of two
kites are crossed in the air, and the holders
saw away until one gives; and this simple
device has proved as eficacious as dice in
d~issipating fortunes.

Coursing is a form of dog racing, of course,

this, and the abolition of the practice will
nave the effect of improving the tone of
sport by the removal of an excrescence
which degrades it.

ROOSTER AND OATS ARE FRIENDS

There is a peculiar case Of infatuation be-
tween a rooster and two cats to be witnessed
at Alton, III. They all belong to the keeper
of a livery stable, and for some time the
rooster. which is a large fowl of the Shang-
hal breed, was afraid of the cats. But a
friendly feeling grew to exist between them,
and this finally ripened into a case Of love-.
They are inseparable. The rooster will con-
duct himself just as he would if escorting
two hens about. He will find a worm or
grain of corn, call the cats and then eat it
himself as naturally as though he had never
associated with anything but cats. The
felines, on the other hand, will follow him
around, roll over and play. with him, share
their mice with him and in every possible
way demonstrate that his affection IS recl.
procated. The rooster sleeps on the edge of
a feed box and the cats rest together in the
box. The strange friendship has existed for
some time past, and exhibits no signs Of
abatement.
