POISONED HER YOUNG.

Neither OrI0Ie Chooses Death Rather
Than Captivity for Her Bindings.
It has been claimed by observers Of
birds that some Of the feathered tribe
will feed their young If they are Gagged,
and if they fail after a certain time to
release them they will bring them a
poisoned weed to eat that death may
end their captivity.
About week ago at the Holstein
ranch, says the Carson Appeal, the
children captured a nest of three young
orioles, and they were Immediately
Gagged and hung in tree. The mother
was soon about calling her young, and
in a little while brought them some
worms. She continued feeding them
regularly for some days without seem
ing to pay much attention to persons
about.
But on Sunday came the tragic end
ing that demonstrated the theory rela-
tive to birds. She brought them a
sprig Of green on Sunday morning and
disappeared. In less than an hour they
all died. The sprig was examined and
proved to be the deadly larkspur, a
weed that will kill full-grown cattle.
The little creatures lay dead in the
cage and slightly foaming at the mouth,
victims Of their mothers stern resolve
that her offspring should die by her
own act rather than live in captivity.

WILD STEER CHASE.

Terrifes Passengers on Grand Central Road
in New York and Clears the Depot.
Uptown New York had wild steer
chase the other afternoon that was
equal to anything of the kind ever seen
in the stock yards district of Chicago,
A wild steer escaped from a butchers
yard at the corner of 44th street and
First avenue. He went up 10th street
like a whirlwind and at Third avenue
shot through a gate into the Grand
Central yard and down the tracks into
depot, where a passenger train was un-
loading. The passengers were seat
tered in a wild panic. After clearing
the depot the steer got out into the
street again and with a big crowd after
him dashed up 42d street to Vanderbilt
avenue, where he turned on his pursu-
ers and chased them back to the depot,
where he again cleared the platforms.
He showed a disposition to toss an in
coming locomotive off the track, but
got entangled in a network of wires
and was captured.

UnaatErsi Conduct Of a New York Woman
Rereft CT Her 5E0thsr


Two women entered the lobby at the
Garrick in New York anime o'clock the
other night, when the first act Of
Leonardo was almost over. One was
crying. They sent word to a well-
known woman who was in one Of the
stage boxes. Presently the woman
came out. She was fashionably dressed
and rather pretty. She looked none
too pleased at the interruption. how
ever. The elder woman grasped her by
the hand.
my dear child" she said, 81 have ter
rible news for you. Your dear mother
dropped dead about half an hour ago.
The woman gave a shrek and looked
for a moment as if she were going to
faint. The younger woman handed her
her smelling salts.
'My God! How terribleI How aw-
full" cried the woman. Poor mothert"
One Of her companions had already
gone to call a cab. Suddenly the wom-
an drew herself together, took long
sniff at the salts, and exclaimed: swell.
I'm here, now, so I might as well see
the performance out. It won't make
any difference to mother"
The other two women fell back in
amazement. The doorkeeper stood
there open-mouthed. In vain the wom-
en- explained to her there was no one
with the body,
I'm going to sit out this perform
ance," repeated the woman firmly. as
she wiped her eyes and reentered the
theater.
The two women drove away alone.
In half an hour they returned In a more
distracted state than ever. Again the
woman was summoned from her box.
This time, however, her temper was
aroused. "I wish you would leave me
alone" she exclaimed. "What is the
matter now2"
The women explained that they had
been hunting for her brother, but could
not find him. Again they begged her
to go home.
Nov, look here, you just leave my
brother alone. He's up at His Excel
lency,' and he doesn't want to be dis.
turbed any more tlan I do, It's been
very kind of you to take all this trouble,
but I wish, all the same, you had left me
alone. I've got to get back to my box
now. Good night"

New Jersey May Revive One OF the Blus
Laws to Punish Common scOld
There is just slight possibility that
New Jersey will have the peculiar dis
tinction of having a first-class 10th CEN
tury ducking within it's limits one of
these days. A woman is now under
bail on conviction of being a common
scold, and, If the judge exercises his
prerogative, Mrs. Esther Jacques may
undergo the unpleasant experience of
being submerged beneath the waters of
the Passaic long enough to check the
flow of gossip with which her lips are
charged. The woman has been the
cause of innumerable court episodes
during the last few years, and in each
instance her neighbors claimed the
tongue of Esther Jacques was some
thing to be dreaded. When the case
was called in the Union county court
the other day Mrs. Jaques entered
non-suit in place of her plea of not
guilty. She dared not brave the wrath
of her neighbors, and so she laid her.
self liable to the ducking stool. There
is a good deal Of speculation among
those who were instrumental in bring
ing Mrs. Jaques before the court
whether the ducking sentence will be
imposed. The law in New Jersey still
holds good for this mode of furnishing
common scOlds. but it is a matter Of
doubt whether the judge will take it
upon himself to avail himself of this
law. If he does it will be the first con-
viction under the old blue laws in many
wears.
