NO MORE CHAMELGONS.
The S. T.. c. A. Puts Veto Oh the Trafft'
in Little Lizards.

| In LltLle LlZdIOS.
Cne OF the largest mems furnish
ing stores in this city, located on
Sixth avenue, and which has been
oi!e Of the largest dealers in the lit.
tie Ii ards which have been sold as
chameleons, to-day posted notice in
their window that no more were for
sale. The Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals puts stop te
the traffic
Yesterday the agents Of the society
went to the different stores and
notified all dealing in the little
things, that at d meeting OF the So
ciety it had been decided that the
Kramer of conflning them with chains
and the ignorance Of buyers as how
or when to feed them, was downright
cruelty, and, therefore, the sale
would have to cease. 1t was not de-
ciGed, however, what would be done
with aoout 1000 Of them now on
hand in this city, or the two car
loads on their way here from Mobile
Bay, but it is suggested that they be
retained until spring, and then let
loose in this vicinity as an expert
ment as to whether they could be-
come acclimated or not to our rigor-
Gus winters. MI. Simon Flatow,
formerly OF New Orleans. said to-day:
u am glad this fake fad' is playing
out Down in Louisiana our little
children play with these lizards and
know how to treav them. Here the
people do not seem 10 know an ami
mate, suffering animal from scarf
pin. The real chameleon is no more
like these lizards than shoe button
is like diamond. The chameleon is
often foot long. The chan 9ing Of
the color is brought about by the in
fusion of blood into grains, in the
cold, naked skin, plainly perceptibIe
to the naked eye, and this renders it
fascinating study to the average in'
telIectual mind.
'How New Workers can be so de,
ceived with such Shiny little lizards
as these is more than can fathom.
1t only goes to show that the average
New Yorker is not well informed.
These lizards are found in millions
on the small tributaries Of the Mis-
s:ssippi, above and in the delta, as
well as on the banks Of most OF the
rivers flowing into the Gulf Of Mexico.
AS for myself, I should like the con-
tract of supplying tn prolific
market, so susceptible to fake fads,'
with these mud chameleons, at four
cents each. New York News.

Sources of Actions.

It is perhaps one Of the most USE
fnl practices to trace back our own
actions 70 the sources from which
they must have sprung. We are gen.
orally only too willing to do this in
the case of our neighhors, but we
rarely do it for ourselves. We as
sumo the character Of the tree from
the quality Of the fruit in the one
instance; but in the other We decline
to draw the same inference. Let US
honestly and fairly examine ourselves
with this object in view. Let US
find out The real underlying prin-
ciples Of our lives, the secret motives
Of our actions, the most urgent de-
sires Of our hearts, and we may wish
to lay the Ak at the root Of many Of
them.

During the time he had lived with his brother-in-law, wm. Hutchins, on Depot street Hutchins has been married three times, and by his first wife had daughter. named Mary. a beautiful girl.

Shortly after their departure Edward Chenoworth, another admirer of the young lady. called at the Hutchins home. He was informed that she was out walking with Roches- ter and he went to look for them. He found the couple on the street and ac- companled them home. When they arrived there Chenoworth asked the young ladys father whose attentions he preferred his daughter receiving, his or Rochester's Mir. Hutchins re- piled that he did not care for married men to be paying his daughter atten- tion. He later took Rochester to one side and told him he must cease his at tentions toward his daughter. The young man walked out the front gate, drew revolver from his pocket and fired at his lost love and her smiling lover, who sat at her side. The shot flew wide of its mark. however, and the would-be murderer turned the weapon on himself.

There are 400 mem bers of the association, which repre- sents an aggregate capital of $500 0o0, 900 invested in New England.

Here labor is less trouble some, fuel is cheaper and the profit larger than in New England.

SOUTHERN GLEANiNoS.
by a Loose Gun Barrel.

4 loose barrel in a shotgun was the
 .r;ncipal link in the chain of circum- f.antial evidence which sent Caleb
 r;ller, of Paulding county, Ga., to I,be penitentiary for life. Miller is an white boy and comes of . .rsspectable family. The crime of Irbich he was convicted was the assas- .ipation of Hagen Roberts, wealthy Farmer. Last March Roberts and the members of his family were sitting by |.he freslde, when they were startled l bv demand to throw up their hands, and the appearance at the same time of two men wearing tall white caps with red stripes on them. the men hay inc their faces blackened. Immedi. .tely one of them fired. striking Rob- ,r,s who died within a few hours. As the man who fired the shot
 brought down his gun, there was a
 peculiar click, which was recognized
 st once by one of Roberts sons. who
 had used the same gun few days be- fore. This was due to the loose bar rel The assaiiaEts figured that as soon as Roberts was shot the other members Of the family would run from the house, and that they could then secure money which Roberts had in his house. The bravery of one of the girls, who fired upon them from with. in, prevented their carrying this DOT ton of their plans into effect. Caleb Miller and Howard Parton were ar rested for the crime. The gun with the peculiar click was found in Miller's possession. He had run to his home, and in order to avoid suspicion, had hurriedly rammed down two charges into the gun, and then had gone out to join in the search for the murderers. When the loads were withdrawn it was found that he had neglected to put any powder in it.
