ty-fourth street, between Broadway
and Sixth avenue. was ready this morn
ing to defend her pet donkey which
Mrs. Cox. the boarding house mistress
at No. 80, says Is a nuisance In the
neighborhood.
The donkey became an issue in the
crusade after Mrs. Cox ridiculed Mrs.
Sallade's efforts at meeting of prop
erty-holders on Tuesday. Mrs. Sallade
then declared that there are some
shady" boarders in Mrs. Cox's house.
although she didn't blame Mrs. Cox for
It, whereupon the latter announced that
she was going to complain to the Board
of Health about Mrs. Sallade's donkey.
Mrs. Sallade announced this morning
that she didn't care particularly what
Mrs. Cox said about her. but she was
not going to have the donkey DETAINED.
This donkey, by the way. II named
Jerry. and formerly belonged to the pro-
fession of which Mrs. Cox claims she
has the cream as boarders. Its theatre
cal career consisted of doing tricks. but
after starring for q few seasons, II re-
tired to private life as q pet for Mrs.
Sallades daughter.
The donkeys offense, Mrs. Cox de-
clares, Is that 1t lives In Mrs. Sallade' =

sader denies. and she IL willing to put
the yard in evidence II required to do
so. She states that on q few occasions
Jerry has been allowed to perform In
the back yard for the entertainment OF
select audience-not including Mrs.
Cox-but after his turn he he has al
ways been sent to box stall In q near

Mrs. sallade also announced this
morning that she is through with the

Sacred Island in Abyssinia.

Lake Zouay, in Abyssinia, and near
the southern frontier of that country,
had not been visited for three or four
hundred years by the Abyssinian au-
thorities, and the people who live on
an island in the midst of the lake had
remained without any communication
with the exterior world. Emperor
Menelik has recently paid visit to
that lake, where is situated the isla nd
of Debra-Sina, in the churches of
which most valuable Ethiopian manu-
scripts had been hidden by Abyssinian
monarchs at the time of the invasion of
their country by the Egyptian and
Scudan Moslems. The island is held
as sacred ground, and Menelik's chap
lain was the only man to proceed
there on that occasion; he visited the
churches, looked at the ancient manu-
scripts, and brought some of them to
the Emperor, who ordered them to be
religiously returned to the chief of the
Island Chicago Tribune.
