PUMAS IN DEADLY CONFLICT.
Great Cats that Make a battling Fight
Vhen Cyenis Matched.


On our return trip to the coast | saw
o thrilling incident OF life in the South
American forests, fight to the death
between two big pumss. Those great
beasts are fierce, hard fighters at all
times against a common enemy, but it
is only during the mating season that
the males fight among themselves, and
when they do the contest means death
to one or both of them For strength
and courage they are the equals of the
African lion OF the tigers of the Indian

The police commissioners held an
other meeting yesterday afternoon to
consider appointments of policemen
with the above result.
There was a large number of appli-
cations and a good deal of time was
taken in the examination of the various
applications presented.
The members of the police were all
anxious to hear the result. About all
of them supposed that they might be
given notice that their time of service
was at an end. but all of them We're
willing to serve longer if given an op-
portunity.
The boys while showing that they
ing turned out to rough it in mid
winter. The crowds that canvassed
the situation pretty much all agreed
that either Harry Sutton or Bedford
Wood would be retained and an occa-
sional suggestion was heard that they
both ought To be retained.
When the commissioners came out of
their room at O'Clock p. m, the
friends of the present force We're pleas
ed at the announcement that the board
had determined to retain for the pres
ent Harry Sutton, Bedford Wood. Dan
Parks John Fisher and Otto Koch.
Mr.. Jones president of the board gave
the boys to understand that they We're
not reappointed for a full term but that
they would temporarily hold their pres
ent positions.
This action of the board was gener-
ally approved as the experiment of ap-
pointing an entire new police force is
usually considered dangerous. And in
addition to that the men retained SEEM
ed to have pretty strong backing.
The commissioners considered the
fact that the criminal classes have a
better opportunity to commit depreda-
tons when they are unknown to the
police, and hence they have adopted
the plan of making gradual changes
rather than all at once. They con-
slider that the old policemen retained
will be valuable aides to Mr.. Massey
until he becomes fully familiar with his
new position, after which he will be
consulted in regard to the appointments
made under him.
The appointments made on Monday
We're generally talked of yesterday, and
while some We're disappointed the gen.
elal verdict seemed to be that good
selections had been made. It was also
agreed that the commissioners had
acted entirely on their own respon-
sibility and no faction had got all they
wanted.
The men who are usually consider
ed party workers seemed to be about
unanimous in the opinion that the new
chief, A. p. Massey, is an honest and
reliable man. One politician said no
bride will ever turn Park Massey from
the line of his duty. That even when
a candidate for Office he had never de-
ceived or betrayed friend. Even the
warmest advocates of the other candi-
dates conceede Massey's fitness for the
position.
The new appointees vii take their
places on the first day of February.
On that day Mr.. Massey will become
chief of police and Rufus Cone will re-
tire to private life. RUFF says he wants
a rest anyhow.

The Presidential Party.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 14-Presi-
dent Cleveland and his party
have succeeded to-day in thor
Cnghly losing themselves to the
ou.slde world, for no one knows
where he is at present. The Vios
let was to have left Hatteras to-
day, but whether she did so or
not is unknown, for d gale has
been raging over the North Car
Olina sounds and the wires be
tween Kitty Hawk and Hatteras
are down. Al Kitty Hawk the
wind blew at a rate of sixty
eight miles an hour, and was
probably much heavier at Hat
teras. No vessels have arrived
from North Carolina waters and
it is the opinion of sailing mass
ters that the Violet could not
have made the run up Pamlico
sound under the heavy winds
prevailing.

An Ideal HuS SbaHd.

A woman with most vivid
imagination describes what she
considers a good husband. The
strange part Of it is that with all
the angelic qualities with which
she insists he must be endowed
she expects him to live happily
with an earthly wife. Here are
her views: AN ideal husband
is first Of all thorough Chris
tiau. He is truthful, affectionate
and ambitious; one VINO is
thoughtful Of those around him
and IOver of home, music and
children; a man who is not given
to bOasting or conceit. He is
generous, amiabie, ready to lend
q helping hand in the kitchen,
garden or sickroom and a thor
ough gentleman; prudent and in
dustrious, leaving good impress
slOnS wherever he goes. An
ideal husband must be brave,
true, generous, loving, sensible,
gentle, kini, clever, we'll edu-
Gated, one in whom [ can place
the most implicit confidence. He
must have always loved his
mother. He must love his
mother-in law for his wife's
sake, one whom his wife can
look up to aud feel proud of, He
must be good to his own child>

I'VE feel it in the air and
everywhere, the coming Of that
"hallowea i and gracious time'
that brings peace aud brotherly
love and salvation to mankind,
and pitiable indeed is the nature
that is not sof5ened at its APP
proach.
In the tender oerefoence of
the Infinite Wisdom there is
something divinely appropriate
ia the selection Of the Time for
the giving Of His Son to the
world-to brighten and warm an
whisper comfort when all nature
lies dormant and cold and other
wise cheerless.
In all the literature Of the roll
ing years between that is sweet
est which writes of Chris tmas
tide, whether it deals with the
phazes OF nature or the impulse
of the human heart. Gold and
gray the vapors speed their
course. Fancies grow faint and
are drowsily led to pastures
where no flowers longer hide. In
the skirmish of the winds may
be the aLchor of hope for the
day when the brown and the sere
and darkened depths shall give
way to Natures brighter truths.
There is feetness enough in the
skurrying suowhakes and what
penclllngs and pictures comprise
the traceries Of the frost, whose
delicate lines are the loving tang
les where yiOletS and anemOnes
once shredded their fragrance.
Yet there is brightness and
glory in the steel of the clouds,
and what grandeur and beauty
have their rising with the sun in
the beams Of the earliest dawn!

Winging their messages of peace,

All nature sleeps. The ice king
holds court and carnival and in
misty mountain solitudes the

And it is because Of these mys-
terious Influences and warming,

THE AMERICAN JEW.
Hon. Simon VOLTS Splendid Historical
Work just From the Press, and for
an Early Copy of Which The
Argus Man is indebted
to the Author.


Argus Man is indebted
to the Author.
We have read with great in
terest, instruction and profit
Hon. Simon VOLTS book, The
American Jew. as Patriot, Sol
dier and Citizen, which is just
from the press. The book is
handsomely bound and delight
fully printed in clear type, and
on the best of paper. It is eds
tied by Mr.. Edward Levy and
published by the Leviytype Com
pauy, of Philadelphia The
frontispage is beautiful litho-
graph of the noted ''Statue of
Religious Liberty" Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia, which was
erected by the Independent Order
of B'nai Birth, pursuant to the
resolution to that effect adopted
by the General Convention of
the Order at Chicago in 1874 OF
that convention Hon. Simon
Wolf was president, and the
adoption of the measure by the
convention, as we'll as the event
ual success of the undertaking
through the active support OF
the various lodges of the Order,
were due mainly to Mr.. VOLTS
interchangeable efforts.
The fly leaf contains a hands
some engraving Of the B'Nai
Birth Orphans Home, at At
lanta, Ca, which was instituted
in 1876 under the auspices Of
District Grand Lodge No 5,
comprising the States of Mary
land, Virginia. North and South
Carolina, and Georgia ard the
District Of Colum bia. 1t is one of
the handsomest structures in the
country and is a proud and
inspiring monument to Jew
ish philanthropy and also to
Southern progress and posi-
bilities. Il is managed by a
Board of Control, consisting of
thirteen members, Of which Mr..
Wolf, to whose efforts the exis-
tence of the Home is primarily
due, has been chairman since It's
foundation. and Our esteemed
townsman Mr.. Sol. We'll is a
member. It is to this Home that
the net income of Mr.. VOLTS
book is devoted, while the dedi-
cation of the book is ITO all who
love and seek the Truth. :"
The work fills it's own place in
the literature Of the age and will
not fail to make it's impress for
good, not alone upon This gener
alton, but on those of all time,
for it is a rich thesaurus Of his
torical lore from the earliest col
onial days down to the present
time, showing tireless research
on the part OF the learned author,
whose praisewurthy racial pride
girded his noble soul 10 the nee
essary endurance for the tedious
task, while his generous nature
has devoted to tire outstretched
palm of pleading poverty-the
helpless orphans of his brother
Jews-the revenue that may ac-
crue and that VII accrue from
his splendid work.
The book should have a place
in every library and should be
read by all students Of American
history, for while. as its title i'm
plies, it is devoted specially to
the ''American Jew as Patriot,
Soldier and Statesman, theil
history and heroic deeds are Sc
