VISION OF BIRDS
Supposed to Be Far Greater Than
That OF Man.

London Spectator.
Birds are commonly credited with an
extraordinary range of vision Cir
cumstanres lend aid TO the develop
ment OF the mental factors in their
case. The usual distance at which ter
Tesliai species use their eyes is lini1ed
by the ground horizon But in the case
OF the soaring birds, such as VultureS
ana eagles, the horizon the natural
unit OF sight, is enormously extended
MacgllllVray early noted that, though
BIRDS OF prey have orbits of great size

single instance in which the special

the fact that the bird in question much
resembles in color the pigeons. which

JESSE JONES ASSIGNS.
The Veteran Lumberman Goes to
the Wall.

Jesse G.. Jones. the veteran lumber
man, who has been in business in
Minneapolis for the past forty years,
filed a deed OF voluntary assignment
yesterday in the district court, nam
ing the Northern Trust company as
assignee. The failure was directly due
10 the suit recently brought by the
Columbus, O., bank, and one at Bis
marck, N D. The first OF these was
for $1,000 and the second for an amount
almost as large. When it was found
that payment could not be made, Mr.
Jones decided upon an assignment
rather than borrow any more money
In the present condition of business.
II was rather q difficult matter yes
terday afternoon TO learn anything
about the exact condition of the bust
ness A large amount of Jones assets
are invested in real estate. probably
100000, and another $4,000 will repre-
sent various accounts due or receiva-
bic, stock on hand, etc. 1t is thought
that the liabilities will only amount TO
Sl20,0O6 or $4,000 and with good man
agement it is said that the estate can
be made TO pay dollar for dollar, al
though some of the real estate NAV
have TO be carried for a time
In addition TO the deed of assign
ment, the real property of Jesse G.
Jones was also transferred TO the
Northern Trust company yesterday
afternoon, and the latter corporation
made affidavit of its acceptance of the
trust The work of preparing
schedule Of assets and liabilities will
be commenced at once and II is
thought they can be gotten out within
the next thirty days.
Jesse Jones began business in Min
neapolis in 1856. He has been engaged
since that time in logging and lumber
ing, and was considered one of the
prominent lumbermen of the North
west. No cause is given for the assign
ment other than that it was caused
by the general depression and inabil-
ity to convert real estate and securi-
ties into cash In many circles it will
cause much surprise, it not being gem
orally understood that Mr.. Jones was
carrying much borrowed money. His
high standing in the community was
also proof against any rumors. and
for that reason the surprise is all the
greater.

COMEDIAN CRANES DOG DEAD.
Pete Had Been the Actor,s Conn
panion for Eight Years.

BOSTON. Aug. 12.-Actor William H.
Cranes wee black-and-tan terrier Pete
is dead. He met tragic fate at Co
hasset Saturday afternoon. Just how
il happened no one has come forward
to tell, but John Griffin, Mr.. Cranes
hostler, found Pete's bleeding body
on the roadside opposite Mr.. Cranes
villa He was dead when found. Seine
one said an ugly bull had mangled
him Griffin picked Pete up and ten
derby carried him TO the house Pete's
master was away from home. Two
weeks ago he left for cruise on his
yacht TO witness the regatta of the
Larchmont Yacht club in Long Island
Sound. Later ne went TO Newport to
witness the Goelet Cup race For
eight years Pete has never slept away
from his masters bedroom for a night
except when it was impossible for
Mr.. Crane TO take the dog with him.
He found it impracticable TO take Pete
on the Senator, so he left him home
with the servants. In those eight
years Pete has travelled into almost
every state in the Union. He had q
handsome little basket bed in which
he was carried everywhere. He had
4edIAed 10 get INTO the basket OF MS
own accord when his master was about
to start On a journev, Every night
about theater time Pete would go to
the basket and jump in Crane. or
some one who accompanied him. would
carry the dog to the theater and set
the basket down in the wings so that
Pete could peep through the top of the
basket at his master.
1t is said that on one occasion. and
one only, Pete so far forgot himself
in watching Crane that he jumped out
OF the basket and ran barking upon
the stage. It was so unexpected that
Crane was surprised and forgot his
lines The incident brought down the
house. Pete was admonished by his
master, after which he ran meekly TO
his basket and jumped in.

Of Count Gabriel Jelski, who has been

He is the son of a wealthy land own

border between Poland and Russia,
and, having become involved in some
Nfhilist movement, was sentenced to
exile in Siberia seven years ago. With
a great deal of difficulty. and after
many hardships and hairbreadth es-

Story of How COnfederates Re-
scented an Insult TO EEOId
GIory.11

GIory.H
Sandusky. O., Register.
At the Grand Army encampment in
Cleveland on Monday night. General
Leggett related an incident which was
vouched for to him as authentic. It
is so remarkable that, coming from
almost anybody else than the general,
it would hardly b. believed During
the war a squad Of Confederate SOL
diers under command OF a captain cap
tured a number of United States SOL
diers, and with them an American
flag. The Confederate officer was de-
lighted with the capture of the flag.
and to show his contempt for it
dragged it behind him through the
dust and dirt as he marched into Stone
wall Jackson's camp with his prison
ers. A Confederate soldier, seeing the
stars and stripes trailing in the dust,
raised his musket too aim at the Con-
federate officer. and in language more
forcible than polite told him to lift
that flag out of the dust or ne would
blow his brains out.
The officer saw shoot in the mans
eye and lifted the flag out OF the dirt,
but took the name of the private sol
der who had 'insuIted" him and re-
ported the incident TO Gen. Jackson.
The general asked what he had done
to excite the wrath Of the private, and
the captain told him that he was drag
cling the stars and stripes through the
dirt. He did not shoot your said
the general. NO" said the officer,
''he did not shoot me-" The general
made some remark which indicated that
he would not have dealt harshly with
the man had he done so, and said to
the officer: THAT soldier was born
under the stars and stripes as his
father was, and he still retains re-
spect and affection for II, and an officer
of our army who has no higher appre-
citation of the sentiments of our peo-
pie than you appear TO have is not Mt
to be on my staff and he dismissed
the officer.
Gen. Leggett remarked that this
showed that there was in the Confed-
crate army a strong undercurrent of
affection for the old stars and stripes,
and he added that a prominent officer
of the Confederate army once made
the remark that the mistake the Con-
federates made was in adopting new
flag; that they ought to have stuck to
the stars and stripes. and insisted
that that was their flag.
