BLOODY BULL FIGHT
10000 SPECTATORS WITNESS THE
DIsEMDOwELIxG OF A MATADOR.
Russians sent to- Siberia for Forging
n Will-George Gould Calls on
Dunraven-No French Ministry.

LONDON. May IA dispatch to the
Times from Madrid says that there was a
sickening spectacle in the bull ring there
this afternoon. Ell Espartero. a ~well-known
young matador, while engaging the first
bull sent into the ring, was caught by one
OF the horns OF the animal and his abdo-
men was ripped open. He died five minutes
later.
The bull had killed four horses and he
became extremely fierce when the bander-
uleros fixed their darts in his neck. Six
teen thousand persons were watching the
fight and the excitement was intense. The
bull was almost in the center of the arena,
paving the ground and tossing his head.
His eyes CLEANED wickedly as FL Espertero
approached him with his usual daring,
which brought forth plaudits from the spec
tators. AS he got near the Infatuated bull
made a rush for him and Knocked him
down. He was not apparently hurt, for he
sprang nimbly to his feet and again at
tackled the animal. which had wheeled
about preparatory TO making another
charge. There was a moment OF suspense,
and then with lowered head the bull rushed
and plunged his dagger into the neck OF
the animal. Just as he did so the bull
swung his head in the direction of Ell rs
pertero. at the same time lifting it One
OF the animals horns caught the unfortu-
nate mataCor in the ABDOMEN ana TORE ms
body open almost up TO the chest Blood
poured from the CHASTITY wound In a tor
rent as FL Espertero san fainting TO the
ground. He was at once carried to an in
frmary. where the doctors pronounced his
injuries mortal. A priest was summoned
and administered extreme JUNCTION TO the
dying man In the presence of many
~gOrgeously attired bull fighters, all of
whom knelt bareheaded about the couch on
which the dying man had been placed. In
five minute the man was dead.
The spectators, or at least the greater
portion OF them, did not propose that their
pleasure should be spoiled by the death of
a man who had been well paid to assist
in making a holiday for them, and so the
fight continued as soon as the excitement
fought well, killing fifteen horses and floor
ing two of the toreadors, who were severe
1y bruised.
Fl Espertero was engaged to be married
and the wedding was to have taken place
shortly. He was extremely popular and
had made a large fortune. 1t was his in
tention TO retire from the ring next year.

The Gentle Reader.


Every one who has ever launched a book
which has drifted in even a moderate de-
gree into the current of public favor must
remember how overwhelming a proportion
of whatever subsequent satisfaction he got
from 1t was due to that simple, old-fash-
toned. uncritical parsonage, the gentle read
er, who reads books for the promotion or
his own happiness, and. IL he likes them
knows ii and Is cheerfully ready TO say so.
For the faults or shortcomings of a book
the gentle reader doesn't much care If only
there is a grace in it somewhere TO which
his soul responds. If 1t Is verse, 1t does not
concern him that Tennyson wrote better;
if ii is a story, he does not throw 1t down
because it is not the equal of Vanity
Fair" If it gives him real pleasure, in suf-
fcient quantity to pay for the time he
spent in reading it, he declares that IL is a
good book and is ready to thank the au-
thor and buy and read the next book that
he sends out. He, or perhaps 1 should say
she. is the reader that the author loves and
esteems and counts upon to quiet his own
literary computations. But the reader who
has himself dabbled much in writing can
seldom be a gentle reader afterward.

~REVENGEFUL POLACKS
CRIMES CHARGED By A DEPOSED
CATHOLIC PASTOR at CLEVELAND.
Murder of n Man and Attempted MUIR
edge of n Dynamite Plot.

CLEVELAND. o., May 27.-Late last
night a Polish woman named Mrs. Eliza
beth Janicki. was found wandering in the
streets in the southern part of the city. suf-
fering from a bad wound in her head. She
said she had been assaulted by a man, but
before she could give the particulars of the
assault she became unconscious and was re-
moved to a hospital. She has not yet re-
covered consciousness. Rev. A F. Kolas-
zewski. the deposed pastor of ST. Stanis-
laus Catholic Church.. makas a startling
charge in connection with the assault. He
declares that Mrs. Janicki was the principal
witness in possession of about
a plot to blow him up with dynamite. When
the row at ST. Stansilaus Church was in
progress he says Stanislaus Koscinski was
deputized to place a dynamite bomb in his
buggy. After his deposition Rev. Kolas-
zewski went to Syracuse, N. Y, and he de-
clares that Koscinski followed him to that
city. and with a crucif1x in his hand, con-
fessed the part he was to take in the plot.
Once in this civ vas DESTROYED bv fire. In
the ruins of the building the dead body of
koscinski was found with a knife wound

of the plot. The other faction of st. Stanis-

TO attract general attention. This will be

The English sparrow has proved in the
past a mighty enemy to the periodical cica-

insect by one of the fore wings, whereupor
1t flaps about violently and ends by break
ing the large rib or vein that runs along
the margin and makes the wing stiff and
capable OF striking the air to some purpose.
This rib being broken the insect cannot fly.
and is only capable of buzzing about on
the ground. and the sparrow may let go
his hold and proceed to attack other vui-
nerable points, which he is not slow In do
ing. There Is also a fungus, known as mas
sospora cicadina, that is quite destructive
to these insects. Even when they are alive
and quite active their abdomens will be
filled with the spores of this fungus, and
If they are tapped sharply with the finger
the spores are given forth in a cloud, re-

here is filled with their din. They come out
OF the ground at first in an imperfect state,
and, crawling up the shrubs and plants. the
perfect insects burst out through the back.
They are doing great damage to the fruit
and forest trees. The latter are covered
with dead twigs. which in the distance
look like the blossoms of the chestnut.

suck the sap for sustenance. Their din Is

This account by Thoreau gives a very
good idea of the life and habits of what is
certainly one of the most remarkable in
sects. 1t must be that he only
refers to one of the broods or colonies of
the seventeen-year locust, for the insect
makes its appearance in great number in
different parts of the United States ir diff
ferent years. Thus the brood. of which DR..
Fitch, who was State Entomologist for a
long time, wrote of as inhabiting the valley
of the Hudson river, has appeared in the
vicinity of this city in 1908, 1926, 1913, 1860
and in 1877. From this record ii will be
seen that 1894 is the year for its reappear-
ance, and in a few weeks. particularly in
