Rabbit Law in England.

A very funny state of affairs is re- vealed in England through a suit brought concerning depredations by rabbits. The rabbits came out of a wood and destroyed field of barley The owner of the crop sued the owner of the wood for damages. It was de- cided that the plaintiff was not entitled to damages unless the defendant had by artificial propagation increased the number of rabbits on his land to such an extent as to be nuisance. He was not liable, even though he had in creased the number of rabbits by kill ing off their enemies. The only rem edy in possession of the man who lost his barley was to l.ill the rabbits which came upon the place. But this has to be done with due regard to a somewhat complicated game law. The killing must be done by the farmer or by one member of his household com missioned by him in writing or ''em- ployed for reward to kill rabbits" In killing the rabbits the use of poisons or spring guns is prohibited and fire arms cannot be used at night.

AN IMPATIENT PANTHER.
Why a Hunter's Opportunity Ended in
 IgDomi2Ious Failure.

IgDOmi3XCuS f2llures
 Hunters who go forth to shoot pan thers have generally story of triumph, or at least of a worthy and thrilling es- cape, to relate. But the author of Thirty Years of Shikar' describes the only chance he ever had of making an appearance as a slayer of the large feline creatures as resulting in a crush ing failure. He gives the story as fol- lows:
 A panther was marked down for me in small thicket, and I went forth to do for it. When reached the ground the panther was still there, and a keen eyed native pointed it out to me.
 ''Hitherward was it's head" said this man, "thitherward it's tail. Doesn't the sahib see it? Therel there!' and he pointed to spot about three yards off.
 But did not see that panther-either it's head, or it's tail, or anything that was it's; I saw only a mass of light and shade under a dense overgrowh of greenery, dead leaves and grass that were yellowish where the pencils of light broke in upon the gloom, and otherwise mysterious shadow that told nothing to my unaccustomed eye.
 All that looked upon in that green wood tangle was equally panther; I could pick out no particular patch as being any more pantherish than the rest; of head or tail I made out noth- ing where all was equally one or the T -4.1 o-A vision besought me to see that pan- thers head and tail and right forefoot, and many other details of it's anatomy.
 Then there came roar out of the thicket, and a rush which was like the volcanic upheaval of the ground at my feet, and, as it seemed, several tons of that upheaved matter hit me in the chest and other parts, and I was cata- quilted onto the broad of my back a yard or two from where had stood.
 That upheaval was the panther. The brute hadn't had the patience to wait until saw him, or the modesty to take himself off peaceably in some other di- rection; he had resented my staring his way, even though 1 saw him not, and so had emerged out of his lair like an animal rocket, and knocked me down in his flight.
 As he failed to claw me, I came off scatheless; but not so my attendant, who foolishly embraced the panther in view to arresting his flight; he got him. self badly mauled, and did not come a whole man out of the hospital for some weeks. That was my disastrous com mencement with partners.

REASON IN AN ANIMAL.

A Race Horse That Would Not Take
 Kindly to Preparatory Work.
 ''It is mistaken idea that none but human beings can reason and that dumb animals have not that power" l" said Prof. Albert A. Palmer, of Buffalo, to St. Louis Globe-Democrat man. 'I am fully prepared to demonstrate that the animals inferior to man have req soning faculties, and that what is gen orally termed instinct plays an impOr- tant part in their doings and actions.
 'Let me give you single example. have a friend named Downing, who owns string of valuable race horses. In his string is a horse known as Speedwest. A day or so before race in which the horse is entered he gen. orally sends him out on the track mounted by stable boy for little preparatory work. The horse will not take kindly to his work, and no amount of persuasion with whip or spur can get him away from a common canter I noticed this peculiarity in the animal, and one day suggested to Downing that perhaps the horse knew that he was not expected to race, and for that reason could not understand exactly what was required of him. prevailed upon him to dress the stable boy in the colors usually worn in a race and try the horse again. He did so, and the boy was placed in front of the animal for moment that he might see the col ors. The result was that when the boy mounted again the horse broke at the word of command and set off at a long, swinging gallop, which he in- creased to run, finishing the work un- der strong pull. Another stable boy was put up without the colors, and the horse refused to leave the loping gait at which he started out. A second time the colors were used and again the animal set out at rate of speed calculated to break record.
 "What do you call that, instinct or reasoning? I contend that the horse had rational faculty which he exer- cised at will. He knew that without the colors he had nothing in particular to gain by extending himself to swift run. When the colors were put on the horse reasoned that there was some ob- feet in view. He reasoned that he was already prepared for race and made his pace accordingly without being urged"

EVERYDAY EXPRESSIONS.
How They Are Being Improved as Our
 Civilization Advances.

Civilization Advances.
 Capt. John J. Dalton is writing a little book that is calculated to show the improvement in ordinary everyday expressions that is continually going on, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer Capt. Dalton has given the subject a good deal of thought and attention, having talked with several centenari- ans to get a correct idea of the style of conversation in vogue fifty, sixty or seventy-fve years ago, and also min gled with the people that you are likely to meet at political caucus at the present time. Here are a few ex- cerpts from Mir. Dalton's admirable little book:
 Style of 1885: ''Will you join me?" Improved in 1898 to: "Come on, and we'll blow one off.
 Style of 1850: ''SIy luck has been distressingly bad of late" The mod ern expression: i've been travelling on me uppers for two or three weeks"
 Style Of ls45: 'I never was more sin cere Fin my life" The present way: "Dat goes, see?"
 Style of 1860: ''I fear fingered too long at the wine table last evening" Altered in 1898 to: Il shot in too many geesers last eve"
 Style of colonial days: My adver- sary was easily vanquished." The mod ern thing; Il guess I didn't do thing with that guy"

BRECKENRIDGE-POLLARD.
Che Washington Chief Of Police Tes-
tifies-COl. Breck enridge to be
Expelled from Club.

Washington, March 2l.-The defense
called to the witness stand Chief of Police
Mai. Moore, in whose offices there had
been two promises made by Col. Breck-
enridge to marry Miss Pollard May and
II, 1893. It was proposed to contradict
some of Miss Pollard's statements regard
ing the interviews. Maj Moore denied
that in either of the two interviews Mr..
Breckenridge said s"this is one of life's
tragedies or that he said anything about
Miss Pollard's bearing two children or
being pregnant. In neither interview had
Mr.. Breckenridge said "sne knew was a
married man when she took me-" nor had
Miss Pollard said Eyes, gave myself to
him." He would not pretend that he re-
membered everything as much had been
said which he could NOT remember.
The second interview developed under
cross s-examination lasted nearly an hour,
and had been less exciting than the first,
Miss Pollard doing most of the talking.
This was the interview of May II when
Miss Pollard narrated that she lay on a
sofa, and Col. Breckenridge sat beside

ex-President Harrison, Chauncey M De-
pew and the Kentucky congressman.

Omaha, March 27.-The hearing of the
Union Pacific Gulf case was resumed this
morning in the United States circuit
court before Judges Caldwell and San
born. Henry ". Hobson, of Denver, at
torney for the Gulf road, occupied the
whole morning in argument presenting
the sensational answer filed yesterday.
The court allowed the Gulf road to with
draw the demurrer already filed and to
substitute the answer, but the attorneys
of the Union Pacific were granted the
right to make reapplication. Mr.. Hob
son will close his argument this afternoon
and will he followed by Attorney Pattison
also for the Gulf who will consume all the
time of to-day. Attorneys for the Union
Pacific will close the arguments to-mor-
row. II will be impossible therefore to
take up the wage schedule case before
Thursday morning. The employees this
afternoon filed an answer in the United
States court moving to vacate and set
aside the orders Of Judge Dundy for good
and sufficient reasons.

MARYLAND, MY MARYLAND.
Celebration OF the 25Oth Anniversary
Of Its Settlement.

Baltimore, March 27.-The 25Oth ami
versary of the settlement of Maryland, or
the landing of the colonists on St. Glenn
ent's island, in Chesapeake bay, was cele-
brated Saturday by appropriate exercises
under the aus spices of the Maryland So
ciety of Colonial Danes Of America. The
anniversary proper falls on Tuesday,
to-day, but the celebration took place on
Saturday by virtue of the fact that it was
Annunciation day, the patronal feast of
the colony, while in addition it is the day
OF the actual landing. In commemora-
tion of the day and the event, Cardinal
Gibbons was presented by Gen. Bradley
L. johnson with a casket in which to
place his pectoral jewels. 1t is made
from the wood of the old mulberry tree
under which the first mass was celebrated
in this state. The lid is embelished with
silver plate in the form of Maryland
cross, and which bears an inscription
giving the date of the first mass, the date
of the act of religious toleratlon, and the
date of the cardinals conservation and
elevation to the sacred college.

- RELATIVE TO STATEHOOD
for New Mexico, Mr.. Force said:
II feel now, after residence here of
several years, that am entitled to voice
in matters pertaining to the best interests
OF New Mexico. Inasmuch as my hopes
and interests are blended and interviewer
with those of this territory, do not
hesitate to give free expression to my
convictions. In the matter of statehood,
l will say that we have a constitutional
right to demand that the national leglsla-
ture give us the opportunity to clothe
ourselves with the powers of state gov
ernment. l have been in this territory
full seven years, during which time have
felt like was out of the Union! This
territory should be admitted as state.
But timid counsels and timid conduct can
never avail to accomplish any valuable
purpose, but truth, earnestness and energy
upon the part of our citizens, irrespective
of party affiliations, ought to bring about
what we have lawful and constitutional
right to expect at the hands of the ma
tional government. We have popula-
tion of nearly 100000 people. We have
rich land enough for millions. We have
mineral enough in our mountains and
placer fields to enrich the world. Our
native element is abiding. loyal. in
telligent and distinguished for hospitality
and politeness. Our American element
stands to-day the peer of any in the
states. We have every requisite for state
hood. Once given the opportunity by
our national law makers, New Mexico
would soon advance and occupy power
full place in the list of the great states of
the Union"

They were herded together like

been caused by asphyxiation. However,
they were all on hand and at o'clock
this morning breakfast was under prepa-

cold ham, bread and sausage we're given
out. All the men seemed satisfied.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

Belle - A Diplomatic
social Event.

Philadelphia, Pa, March az. Tho
marriage of the French Ambassador
M. Jules Patenotre, to Miss Eleanor
Louise Elversen, only daughter of
James Elversen, publisher of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, took place to-day.
This is the first marriage of an ambass-
ador in this country and quite the most
notable diplomatic corps social incident
in many years. The ceremony was per-
formed by Cardinal Gibbons and wit
messed by a select gathering of friends
and diplomats. An elaborate wedding
breakfast was served after which the
couple started on wedding tour to last
several weeks.
