TERRIBLE DEATH OF A HORSE.
The Costly Animal Goes Mad and Tears
Itself Almost to Pieces.

The Costly Animal Goes Mad and Tears
Itself Almost to Pieces.
]. E. Sechrist of this county lost his
fine stallion Fleetwood in peculiar and
terrible manner. The animal was a very
fine one, an inbred Hambletonian, both
powerful and speedy. A few days
ago it was taken with blind staggers,
and its sufferings were terrible. The
climax of the disease was reached on
Tuesday morning, when the animal went
crazy. He was tied in his stable, but in
his agony he broke the strong rope hall
ter as if it were a thread, and driving
his head against the side of the barn COW
cred everything with blood.
Finally he made desperate effort at
the door, and tearing it from its hinges
went at a run through the field. His
speed was terrific, and he stopped not for
paling. board or wire fences, but took
everything in his mad run. He ran
through a paling fence six times and
through four wire barbed fence IS
times, tearing his legs and body in hor-
rible manner. 1t was just before day,
and Mr.. Sechrist says that every time he
struck the wire the fire flew, and the
ring of the wire could be heard long
distance. Finally, from exhaustion and
loss of blood, he fell and died. Mr.. Sc
christ valued him at 50 600 and brought
him from Kentucky. Oklahoma Special.

Christians duty regarding 1t. He did not
blame worldlings for indulging In the
dance because they did not claim to be
free from scl6shness, from sin. from SEN

Mr.. Henry c. Putnam, millionaire

the dance, And time to dance, David
danced before the Lord, Thou shalt go
forth in the dance, etc. Something like
that" Then he says he never danced till
he was 40 and much regrets that he did
not begin long before and closes thus: Il

Mr. Kempton has many partisans, how
ever. and one of them, Mrs. Fanny e.
Russell, writes as follows: THE prince Of
darkness is the general manager of the
ballroom. They utter an untruth when
they say it Is the dance itself that they en-
joy. They go there to enjoy themselves in
way which God never intended they
should. Let men of God show these
things in their true light. 1t is impossi-
BILE for an innocent girl to DO so often en-

ago, is his first one.

A curious illustration of woman's
tendency to lose things is furnished by
the collection in the lost and found bu-
reau Of the Columbian exposition. There
remain in it 600 women's wraps, 500
gloves, 25 wells, a score of portmanteaux
and handbags, to say nothing of 500 UNI
brellas, good share of which were left
by women, and 200 pairs of spectacles,
most of which no doubt belonged to wo-
men. They lose things when away from
home because they are more likely than
men to be carried away by new scenes
and to forget everything except what in
terests them for the moment.-Pittsburg

PORTUGUESE IN NEW YORK CITY.
OF tho 10000 In tho United States the Ne
tropoIis Has but 10

vi tho 10000 In tho United States the Ne
tropolis Has but 70.
The other day John Gubbins a portr-
guese, was held for trial bv Justice
GRADY at the Yorkville police court I'M
der charge OF stabbing policeman.
Ihere Is nothing strange or peculiar
about the arrest Of a man charged with
staDDing or attempting to stab a police-
man, but the oddly connected with
Gubbins is the fact that he is a Portu-
guese.
how many Portuguese do Won think
there are among the 2 1000 00Oinbabitants
OF New York city? Just 70. There are rs
OF them, and it is said in police circles to
be fact that Gubbins is the first Portu-
guese ever under arrest in this city. This
would be very creditable showing if
there were more than 76 Of them. Asitis.
the only wonder is that there are so few.
lnthe whole United States there are IL. 600
portuguese Nine thousand eight hum
dred and fifty-nine Of them are returned
by the last census as residents of Cali
fornia, 3,051 as residents of Massacbu-
setts, e33 as residents of Rhode Island
and ~ as residents Of New York CITY.
They are maritime people, most nu-
merous in such seaport cities as San
Francisco. Boston, Providence, New Or
leans and New Bedford, but curiously
enough almost unknown in New York,
the greatest center of commerce in the
western hemisphere.
Emigrants from the lands Of Camoens
and the Braganzas are famous as sailors
and navigators, and their descendants
are scattered in many lands, notably in
Hawai-, where the Portuguese popula-
ton is considerable, and the East Indies,
where the Portuguese colonies are nu-
merous. New York is a cosmopolitan
city. Men Of every race and nationality
are to be found here. The total imlni-
grafton to the United States through
Ellis island from Jan. 1, 1893, to Dec. 10
was ,597, and toward this total Por-
tugal contributed thealmost infinitesimal
total of 70 persons. The Portuguese are,
generally speaking, thrifty, hardy, in
dustrious and matter of fact. They have
little of the sentiment of their Spanish
neighbors. They are law abiding and
administrative, and Gubbins appears
to be backslider, stimulated perhaps to
deeds of unruly violence by New Jersey
whisky or Medford rum, both poor sub
stitutes for the fine wines of the Oporto
district shipped from Lisbon and famous
the world over.-New York Sun.

She Died With the Cat.

Mrs. Allie Spencer of Saltwater was
found dead in her house there recently.
1t was at first supposed to be a case Of
suicide, but later developments showed
that it was the result of a strange acct
dent. Mrs. Spencer had said she intend
ed to chloroform an old house cat. The
cat was found lying dead in box, which
also held a large sponge. The strong
odor of chloroform in the room told the
rest of the sad story. Mrs. Spencer,
while chloroforming the cat, must have
been overcome by the fumes of the vola-
tile drug, and having chronic heart
trouble had expired there alone.-Lewis-
