There have been many cases where
fishes have been caught in whose capa-
cious maws were found long missing
rings, necklaces, base ball masks, and
such like trifles. Once in a great while
a thieving fish is stricken by its con-
science into a desire to make restitu
ton Such fish was the giant cat
which lay watching the shores of an
Eastern stream all through the month
of April. Many fishermen tried to land
him, but he contemptuously refused the
most tempting lures. until a tall man of
striking personal appearance came one
day. The big cat leaped from the water
and fell at his feet, without waiting for
hook or line. The tall man was aston
ished. After cutting open the fish after
ward he discovered gold eagle which
he had lost a year before lying in the
f1shs stomach. Most wonderful of all,
there were, besides, sixty copper cents
one years legal interest which the
noble fish had yielded up its life in try
ing to restore. Here is mark for other
piscatorial prevarieators to work up to.

THE LAST OF HIS RACE.
The Great Buffalo of the West Meets
His UntimeIy Fate.

The Great Buffalo of the West Meets
His UntimeIy Fate.
Scared by arrows, wounded by bull
let's, pursued by foes from valley to
valley and from river to river, the
whilom monarch has at last found a
covert and a breathing spell for day.
He has skulked like a wounded wolf;
he has crouched like a fox in his lair.
The cry of a vulture lowering high
above had made him tremble-he, who
had driven the dreaded grizzly out of
his path more than once, and whose
sharp, stout horns had sent more than
one Indian pony to his death! Ali
But the cries of the coyote have
brought company They come sneak
ing out of thicket and grass and crevice
until there are a dozen. The youngest
calf of herd would not fear them,
and yet their angry snarls make the
old monarch tremble! The sun seems
to drop into lower notch as the old
monarch moves softly about to snatch
a bite here and there, but always keep
ing his eye on the pack. AS the crav-
ing of hunger becomes partly satisfied,
the fire comes back to his eyes, and he
even gives his head a defiant toss. If
their bowling brings the savage wolf,
he will die Nightingale will die game.
He. has fought them a hundred battles,
and never suffered defeat. Here they
come. He looks up to find himself al
most encircled. They are hungry and
gaunt. Their eyes blaze. and foam
falls from their lips as they close in on
him. Now, watch him! He is no longer
the fugitive-the craven, trembling at
every sound. His head is held high;
there is a royal fire in his great eyes,
and he utters a low below of defiance
and paws the earth as challenge for
them to come on. Crack! Crashi
Hurrahi The bull tetters, sways to
and fro, and falls to The earth, shot
through the heart. A man leaps out of
the thicket, waves his hat and gun,
and cheers the success of his shot,
while the wolves sneak away into the
twilight and growl and snap at each
other.
The last of his race is dead. He would
have died fighting as monarch should,
but man prevented. 1t is the last hide
the last feast for wolves and vul-
tures-the last monument to mark
mans savagery when stirred by cupid
ity and selfishness.-M. Quad in De-
troit Free Press.

A MYSTERY CLEARING UP.

Circumstances Pointing to the Murder of
Booker LilIard Near ottawa, Kan.
OTTAWA, Kan, Oct. 9.-Last June
the mang'ed remains of Booker Lii
lard, young colored man living
west of here, were found strewn along
the railroad track and it looked like
an accident. Investigation, however,
developed circumstances that in
dictated murder. In the inquest it
was ascertained that Burt Taylor,
a white man, who had a colored wife,
had had some trouble with Lillard on
account of the 1atter's attentions to
Mrs. Taylor and that he had threat
ened to kill him if he did not discon-
tinue them. There was no positive
evidence of Taylor's guilt, however,
and the case was dropped. Last Sun
day morning a little boy of Wiley
Anderson found sack full of bloody
clothing under the Rock creek bridge.
He reported his find to his father and
John Lillaod, father of the murdered
man. They identified the stuff as be-
longing to Taylor and his mother-in
law, Mrs Wright White, who were
both arrested, and the two We're
lodged in Jail. The officers say that
the mystery of LIZARDS death will
soon be cleared up.

REFORM IN CHICAGO.
ROOseyeltism Reaches There and
is Being Pushed.
Sunday Observance League to
Close Sunday Saloons.
TO MANDAMUS SWIFT.
The Mayor Will be Compelled
to Enforce Law.
Law Provides a 5000 Fine for
Sunday Saloons.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9-Rooseveltism has
reached Chicago. 1t is in the guise of
the International Sunday Observance
league After several weeks spent in a
thorough investigation of the legal
points involved, this young but lusty or
ganization has flung its banners to the
breeze and declared war against the
Sunday saloon. The batteries are all in
place and the firing will probably begin
early next week. The objective point of
attack is the city hall, and not only the
city hall, but its Utmost citadel-the
mayors office.
In order to make the campaign most
effective the forces of the association
have decided to institute mandamus pro-
ceedings against Mayor George B. Swift
to compel him to enforce the law al
ready on the statute books of Illinois
relative to the closing of the saloons on
Sunday. This method of warfare has
never before been tried in Chicago and
there are several attorneys who have
advised that it can be successfully en-
ployed.
The case will be placed in the hands of
a firm of prominent lawyers, whose names
are not yet made public, and the fight
will begin as soon as the papers can be
drawn.
Secretary Clark says that he already
has the money in hand to make the fight,
and he declares that the association will
not desist until every saloon in the city is
closed strictly in accordance with the
law And he says that the mayor can be
made to do the work.
"We are going into the fight delibe-
rately and with our eyes wide open," he
Iai q asSnd
feel quite sure of being successful The
law is so plain on the subject that there
is no getting around it,"
Here Mr.. Clark took down a big vol
ume of the statutes bound in sheepskin,
and stirred up a pile of memoranda
which he said he had had carefully
prepared. He read paragraph 315 of
the criminal code, the text of which fol-
lows:
"Whoever keeps open any tipping
house. or place where liquor is sold or
given away, on the first day of the week,
commonly called Sunday, shall be fiaed
not exceeding $500"
"There can be no doubt about that
wording" commented MIR. Clark. "But
it has been claimed that this is a state
law, and that therefore the mayor
is not obliged to enforce it-that
this work is rather the duty of the
states attorney. But here is what the
law says on the subject" Mr.. Clark
read paragraph % of article II, chapter
| "a of the statute concerning the duty of
| the mayor, which is as follows:
He shall perform all such duties as
are or may be prescribed by law or by
| the city ordinances, and shall take care
| that the laws and ordinances are faith
/ fully executed"
you will see," commented the reader,
chat the law says shall not may or can,
and it includes the state law as well as
| the ordinances"

POLITICS IN NEW YORK.
Good Government Clubs Disdain Fusion
for an Independent Ticket.

GOOD Government Clubs Disdatn Fusion
for an Independent Ticket.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The lines along
which the municipal campaign is to
be fought are rapidly developing. The
good government clubs, known in the
vernacular of politics as ''Goo-goos,
held meeting and decided to give
the cold shoulder to the fusion ticket,
formed by the Republicans and
RefOrmers, and to support their own
independent ticket. The German
American Reform union, which goes
by the equally picturesque name of
the "GaroOs" has been comforting with
Tammany men to-day. The Germans
are at odds with the Republican
regime on the Sunday closing policy,
and may combine with Tammany.
Primaries for the nomination of
senatorial candidates were held by the
Tammany, Republican and state Dem
Ocracy organizations last night. In
the Twelfth the Republicans nomi-
mated eX-POlice Inspector Alexander
Williams, who figured prominently in
the Lexow inquiry.

WHY BEMls RESIGNED.


The Ex- Chicago University Professor
Gives Out Sensational Statement.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Professor Bernis,
late associate professor of political
economy in the Chicago university,
made statement last night as to why
he left that institution. He quotes
from a letter of President Harper set
ting forth the Tnoderateness of Pro-
fessor Bemis' views, his success in his
work and pleasant relations with
nearly all his colleagues. However, for
publicly stating, just after the great
railroad strike of 1894, that 1.-The rail
roads in the past had broken the law
equally with their employees" though
mo justification was attempted for
the men in the strike" he resigned.
In another letter quoted, President
Harper says: Your speech at the
First Presbyterian church has caused
me great deal of annoyance. It is
hardly safe for me to venture into any
of the Chicago clubs. 1 am bounced
upon from all sides. I propose that
during the remainder of your con-
nectiOn with the university you use
great care in your utterances about
questions that are agitating the minds
of the people"
When Professor Bemis urged that
the university should be in close touch
with labor, municipal and monopoly
problems, the president replied: Yes,
it is valua BILE work and you are good
man to do it. but this may not be the
institution where such work can be
DONE
Referring to DR.. Bemis, the presi-
dent told another gentleman: cit is
all very well to sympathize with the
workingmen, but we get our money
from those on the other side, and we
cannot afford to offend them" Alto
gether, aside from Professor Bemis
personal interest, the question is de-
clared to be the far larger issue of the
subsection of college teaching to any
lower aims than the truth.

THEY WHIPPED TOMMY.

He Wanted Sparrow, but Didn't Want
all There Was in Anderson.
"Tom" is a maltese cat living in An
derson, Ind. He took a young spar
row from it's nest the other day and
dozens of the birds attacked him. The
sparrows swarmed about the despoiler
of the nest, pecked at his head, ears and
back, and then darting away before he
had chance to claw them. Occasion
ally Tom would rise on his hind legs,
make wicked lunge at the birds, and
several were sent to the earth as the
result of his sharp claws. The air was
filled with the little excited birds and
their chatter could be heard a block
away. BY this time Tom was squalling
glowed like Goals of fire. The fight
continued up the street until the hotel
was reached, when Tom made a dive
for the Office, but was headed off and at
last found refuge under a cab that stood
in front of the door A large crowd
gathered and saw the fight waged by
the birds on their common enemy. I'm
der the cab the birds could not reach
Tom without subjecting themselves to
great danger from his sharp claws, and
soon flew back to the barn chattering
and making every possible manifesto
ton of delight. When the noise was
stilled the thoroughly whipped Tom
crawled from under his retreat and
scurried down the alley.

THE DEMOCRATS WIN.
They Carry the City Election in
indianapolis.
The Eatire Ticket is Elected by
5000 Majority.
MAKES A BIG CHANGE.
Two Years Ago the Republicans
Won by $500.
Republicans Aroused Enmity
by Enforcing Liquor Law.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. Q. The
municipal election in this city was
Democratic landslide. The entire
ticket is elected by a majority approx
mating 5000. This is regarded re-
marka BILE in view of the fact that
Republican was elected two years ago
by a majority of over 5000. The Re-
pubiicans conceded the election Of the
Democratic ticket by a large majority.
This change OF S, 800 in the result is
accounted for by about 1000 stay-at-
home Republicans and from 1900 to
1880 Republicans voting the Demo-
cratic ticket. The main causes at
tributed by the Repu blicans are that
the present administration has aroused
enmity by its rigid enforcement of the
liquor laws, assisted by the vigorous
Nicholson temperance law passed at
the last legislature, and the personal
unpopularity of their candidate

THE TOW LINEN SUIT.
Patronized by Eminent Statesmen It Is
as Unreliable as Their Records.

as UnreIiab BILE as Their Records.
The tow-linen suit seems to be
affected far more in Washington than
in any other city in the United States
says the Post. Although the most
serviceable clothes for hot summer
weather that a man can wear, combin-
ing with comparative cheapness great
advantages over f1annels suits as re-
CARDS GOODNESS and adaptability to the
laundry process, there are still many
pre1udices against it which have been
gradually overcome in the capital by
such men as ex-Speaker Reed, Con-
gresham Hit, Congressman Hatch and
other statesmen, who have pioneered
the tow suit to popularity. good tow
suit can be purchased for about $40 and
some tailors make them for SIS, but
they can be bought for $40 and as low as
SIS. One young man sent to Kentucky
last year for one of those SIS tow suits.
1t proved perfect fit, even if it did
look suspiciously like sacking, but he
wore it until it was soiled and then
sent it to the laundry. He never dis
covered the full extent of his purchase
until he put it on after it's first wash
ing. Instead of shrinking the trousers
had stretched six inches and the coat
nearly reached to his knees. He car
ried it to the tailor aud had the sur
plus trimmed off, until once more it
fitted him perfectly. After wearing it
a week or ten days he sent it again to
the laundry and when it came back he
opened the package with feeling of
wonder what idiosyncrasy the suit had
developed in the meantime. This time
it had stretched only about four inches,
but had shrunk correspondingly in
breadth, forming very close fit about
the hips and shoulders. Once more it
was rehabilitated by the tailor and
worn until soiled. When it came back
from the laundry the third time it was
still long enough in the legs to fit the
| original possessor, while in every other
direction it had shrunk into a fading
remembrance of its former self and this
season adorns the shrinking figure of a
modest boot black.

WANTED TO BORROW HIM.

Queer Request Two Women Made of .
Philadelphian.
A genial Philadelpnian, who for OBJ
vious reasons does not care to have his
name printed on this occasion, secured
parlor car seat on an express train
for Reading a few days ago, and as he
was about to pass through the gates
was surprised to hear himself accosted
in feminine tones with the somewhat
startling question: please, mister,
could I borrow you for a while?"
Looking around, he found two
buxom women, who hastily and hest
tatingly explained that they were rid
ing on a pass made out in the name of
a gentleman and his wife, and, as the
gentleman was not present, they
wanted the genial-looking citizen to
place his bought ticket at the disposal
of one lady and take the other one
under his wing, while he personated
the absent owner of the pass.
(which is my wife?' he inquired
with an inward qualm, lest his own abb
sent better half should ever hear the
story
you can take your choice, sir" said
the lady in search of an escort, and he
promptly did SO by tucking the arm of
the youngest fair one under his own
and leading her into the car. The
couple proved to be right jolly travelling
companions, and the citizens only re-
gret in the transaction was due to a
fear that the story might leak out and
get home ahead of him. But it didn't t.
