CAPTURING a THIEF.


CeuRnt 0rcS"y Wv"
How he lost his chickens and how ne
caught the thief, IL thus described by
Mr.. c. L. Miller, Columbia county, N.
Y, who writes
"My young chickens. which roasted
in small, open coops out In the lot
were disappearing at the rate OF three
or four half-grown ones every night l
supposed that likely the thief was
mink or a weasel, and decided to try
the following plan: / made a box
large enough to hold hen and brood
of chickens, making 1t tight all
around, except one end. which COW
cred with narrow strips placed one
inch apart wire netting would be bet
teri. and into the box Fput a hen and
half dozep young chickens. Then,
after putting all the other chickens
securely away in the barn, ! set a
small steel fox trap outside the box.

The Shepherd Horse.

! do not believe you ever heard of a
shepherd horse. A traveller in Switzer-
land tells us that last summer, in the
mountains of Switzerland. he found a
shepherd with his flock. who had as his
assistant horse instead of dog.
When the sheep wandered in d;rec-
ton In which he did not wish them to
60, he would speak to the horse, who
galloped OF and soon brought in the
stray sheep, on turned the heads of. the
leaders in the direction in which the
shepherd wished them to go.

GLAND MAY BUILD It,
British Capitalists Have Agreed
to Furnish Money for the
Nicaragua Canal.
Captain Merry Corroborates the East
ern Dispatches and Deplores
the Situation.

at is true that negotiations have been
going on between the Nicaragua Canal
Company and English fnanciers," said
Captain Merry Yesterday, when asked
about the dispatches that have recently
been published concerning the interest
displayed in the great project by British
capitalists.
"And it is true, also. that the canal will
be built whether or no Congress takes a
hand in it. We have hesitated to talk
about these London negotiations, fearing
that we would be considered in the light
of trying to run bluff on the Federal
Government, but l can assure you there
! is no truth in that. The projectors of the
canal would rather finish the work by the
aid of private capital, for the simple reason
that Government control would be apt
to decrease private profits.
'For some time the British capitalists
were little shy of the canal because thew
feared that strict application of the Mon
roe doctrine by America, in time TO come,
might jeOpardlze their interests. This
tear has been overcome to a very large ex-
tent now, and l understand that the ten
dency OF the present negotiations is to the
end that private capital, coming mostly
Nicaragua canal unless the Government
should take the necessary steps before the
negotiations are concluded.
Il for one, as an American citizen, should
regret to see the great canal pass under the
control of British capital; but at present
there seems to be no help for it. Of course,
IN the event that British money com pletes
the canal the policy of the canal must be
regulated in London. | believe the dis
patches from Chicago, which say that
London syndicate has practically agreed
to back the Nicaragua canal scheme are
practically correct. l am not at liberty to
give any further particulars or mention
any names. but as long as the news has
am betraying any confidence in saying
that the news as published is substantially
ccurate."

Deaf \ OF DOCTOR NORRIS
A Distinguished Retired Surgeon
of the Army Passes
Away.
Attended Seward for Wounds Received
the Day of Lincoln's Assassi.
nation.

DR.. Basil Norris died last evening at the
Occidental Hotel from an affection of the
brain. This news will be shock to a
great many friends of the distinguished
army surgeon all over the United States.
There were few men who stood higher in
the medical corps of the army than DR..
Norris, and none were more universally
loved and respected.
The deceased was in his sixty-eighth
year, having been born in Maryland in
1923. He was appointed to the regular
service as first lieutenant and surgeon IN
1852, and retired four years ago with the
rank of colon ell. He served through the
twenty-one years, part of the time as the
attending surgeon at the White House
during the administrations of Johnson
and Grant.
He served in the West until 1862, when
he was appointed medical inspector of
hospitals. In December of that year he re-
ported to General Franklin as medical
Army OF the Potomac, when he was pro-
NOTED to a majority. In February, 1868,
DR.. n orrls was ordered to Washington to
rapport to the surgeon-general as attending
surgeon, and he remained there until
October, 1884, when he was ordered to San
II IduClSCO dS lutulCdl uITeClOT the De-
partmeDt of California. While in Wash
ington during the war he attended Secre-
tary Seward for injuries caused by the fall
from his carriage, April 4, 1865, and for
wounds inflicted by Payne on the day of
Lincoln's assassination. Colonel Smed-
berg of this City was wounded at the battle
of the Wilderness, and DR.. Norris ampu-
tated his leg afterward in Washington.
At the Occidental, where DR.. Norris has
lived for ten wears he will ha mourDad nv
the servants of the house, to whom he has
always ministered in sickness free of
charge. His courteous manners and
kindly nature endeared to him all who
met him, rich and poor.
DR.. Norris had no immediate relatives.
Basil Ricketts,, son of his old comrade,
General Ricketts,, was his godson and
ward.
The deceased was a member of the LOYAL
Legion. The funeral will take place at
the Preside, with military honors, prob
ably Tomorrow
