WILD RIDERS OF The EARTH
They logged Along Behind Buffalo
Bill In the Wild West Parade.
Imposing and Unique Display Made
by the Great Show-Milttary Cow.
boys and Indians in Line.

Pennsylvania avenue took on a holiday
appearance this morning in anticipation OF
the parade of the Buffalo Bill Wild West
show. The crowds gathered early and
when the procession finally debouehed into
the big thoroughfare the sidewalks were
lined and the crowd packed from Seventh
street to the Treasury.
TIE parade was imposing and novel.
II consisted of detachments from various
peoples OF the world in their native costume
and the Illustration of mank ind's kindred
snip was an object lesson which could not
fail to be a profitable one to the rising
generation.
Col. William F. Cody, Buffalo Bill
the cavalier of the plains, the great scout
and froDtersman, whose name and fame is
known throughout the civilized world.
led the procession in a spider phaeton
drawn by two white horses.
The cowboy band in a chariot drawn
by eight horses followed. After this came
the display of the various races who
are connected with the show.
The Indians were side by side with their
erstwhile foe, the scout. The United States
cavalry carried ''old Glory" alongside OF
the Cross of st. George, which was carried
by the English lancers.
The French chasscur was in amity with
the German curasSier and the tricolor OF La
Belle France waved in harmony with the
eagle of Germany. Then followed the
Russian Cossack, the Gauchos, of South
America, the Mexican vaquero, the BedouiD,
and last, but not least, the American
cowboy.
The parade was enlivened by three bands
of music and was perhaps as imposing and
original a display as Washington has wit
1esesd in some time. The show will
be here for two days at the corner of
North Capitol and NJ streets, with two
performances daily, at 2 and p. m.

a Bit of Scrap In Toolcville Last
Night.
THE NEWS BUREAU,
NORTH END, i2s BRANCH AvENts,


Captain Baker of Station 2 had an ex-
citing experience with a large wild cat
yesterday. A week ago old Julia Carey,
an eccentric woman, died In miserable
hcvel, q basement, 2D2 Gladstone avenue,
with very few articles of furniture; two
old chairs and a bedstead and mattress
and quilt. She was buried at the expense
of the city. shortly after her burial it
was rumored on the street that the old
woman had money secreted somewhere
about the room in which she
lived and that the sum amounted
up into the hundreds, Very few of the
neighbors believed this story, however.
But there were few, and the rnmor came
TO the ears OF Ovorseer Of the Poor Cum
mings. He decided to make thorough
search OF the premises, and he
and Captain Baker went there yesterday.
When they reached the couch on which
the old woman slept they were greeted
with terrible howl from a large
cat that stood with its back and
to spring at tho first one that came near
IL. Both men stood spellbound for an
instant, and then started to reach for a
club. Two broom handles were secured,
and the men poked them at the
cat; who Immediately put her teeth
and shook it as she would mouse. Then
Captain Baker took quilt and threw it
over the cat and threw il out of the door
into the entry. But The cat was not
outside the door yet? Far from it.
Then the captain got the quilt
again and, throwing 1t over the cat, threw
II out into he street ana closed the door,
but hardly had the door closed when the
cat sprang ut il with great
force. Eight young men with clubs
ana broom handles had gathered in the
meantime and drove the beast into
woodshed. Then the captain and Mr..
Cummings searched tho room but no
money was found.
There was little scrap in Tooleville
last night. Peter Griffin, well known to
fame, got into fight with one Fitzpat-
rick over girl and the result was that
Griffin got black eye and badly swollen
nose and mouth. Fitzpatrick got the
girl.
Louis Chandler dislocated his shoulder
and sustained fracture OF the scapula

He was taken TO the Rhode Island Hos
pital in the ambulance. Chandler lives at
