A collection OF fine Imported

Not Used to Bloom ers.

A woman in boomers is seldom seen in
the vicinity of Twenty-first and Summit
streets. Three women wheeled north on
Summit street just before dark on Satur-
day evening, and when they reached
Twenty-first street, where the asphalt
pavement ends and the unpaved street be-
gins, something happened to one of the
wheels and the three dismounted to fix it.
One of the women wore suit of gray
boomers of the latest cut, and it was not
long till she attracted the attention of
nearly every one living within the radius
of block.
Women and men ran out into the street
from the Chadwick flats and people leaned
out of open windows over all the neighbor-
hood and gazed at her. Small boys ran
toward her from all directions, and one
urchin called to another who was PLAYING
in back yard Hey, Sam! Come an
see the woman with mems clothes on
"She amt got mems clo'es on neither"
yelled another boy, and the first boy
replied:
"Well, she's got some mems clo'es on,
anyhow"
The woman in boomers laughed and the
three mounted their wheels and rode away.
Sam was slow in climbing out of the back
yard, and when he reached the street the
women had turned out of sight around a
corner and the boy who had called him
said with look of disdain on his face:
law, yer too slow. You missed her."

BY AN EAGLE,
Mrs. w. A. Jennings Escape
From Serious Injury at
HayWards.
The Bird, Though Half Developed,
Has a Breadth Of Wing of
Seven Feet.

A strange accident befell Mrs. W. A.
Fleming of this City at Haywards few
days ago.
She was passing the gardens in the rear
of the Hayward Villa with her husband,
and, being impressed by their attractive
beauty, expressed a desire to view the
grounds. Mr.. Fleming said she had
better be careful, as there was ferocious
eagle tied among the shrubbery. But she
was not to be deferred, and leaving Mr.
Fleming to go on alone to their hotel,
she pursued her way through the grounds.
In one of the flower bordered aisles, the
proud and undisturbed possessor of his
eight feet of domain, was the eagle. A fine
specimen he is, though as ferocious as he
is noble in appearance.
The eagle saw Mrs. Fleming first, and
evidently regarding her as an intruder, he
spread his immense wings and swooped
down upon her, or, at least, so it seemed to
the thoroughly frightened lady. She
started to run toward the entrance, but
trlpped and fell on the hard gravel walk
with considerable violence.
The great bird, with wings outspread
and beak wide open, lowered over her
PROSTATE form and seemed about to bury
its talons in her flesh. She almost tainted
from fright and the pain caused by her
fall, and expected every moment to feel
the sharp claws of the eagle. The rope by
which the bird was tethered was too short
to allow it to reach her, and as he settled
to the ground Mrs. Fleming regained her

pigeons usefulness was made during the
siege of Paris, at the close of the Franco
Prussian war" said Mr.. Carlisle "While
the German armies were encamped about
the French capital cutting off all ordinary
communication with the outer world no
less than million and half of messages
were borne into the city by these winged
messengers. AS result pigeoE-fying has
becomel almost a national sport, and the
French Government appropriates $40, 900
for the maintenance of its lofts.
Other European countries without ex-
ceptlon support pigeon services. Italy has
lofts on her seacoast at which are received
messages from her cruisers. Spain utilizes
the birds to convey information regarding
the movements of smugglers from her rev
enue vessels to the mainland
In this country lofts are maintained at
Federal forts in Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut. At Annapolis
there is probably the best equipped station
IN the country. 1t is connected with the
Naval Academy, and is in charge of Pro-
lessor II. Marion. Pigeons from this loft
are frequently sent to sea on cruisers, and
the official reports for 1892 and 1893 devote
a great deal of space to accounts of their
usefulness.
'ln one case a seaman was killed on
board the Constellation when the vessel
was about twelve miles out at sea. Two
birds were liberated bearing messages
which told of the accident and stated that
the body would be sent ashore in steam
launch. Later on the weather became I'M
