count, was arrested today, charged with
trying to beat $500 hotel bill He was
just about to leave for Europe and beg
ged to be permitted to pay part Of the
bill in order that he might catch a
vessel for Southampton. He could not
effect this. and when locked in a cell
he hanged himself with his handker-

Zubof was a graduate of Trinity COL

literary work. He wrote two books,

been employed on a Boston newspaper.
At one time he was engaged in news

THE sQUIREs PET FISH.
Just as He Had Taught 1t to Live on
Land 1T Fell Into the Water.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There was man in Marietta a. short time
ago who told about the biggest fish story
ever heard in this vicinity. His, name is
Henry wilson, and he halls from up near
the head of Middle Island Creek.,uin, West
Virginia. Wilson's story is this:
Near his hene-in West Virginia is an old
squire of the name of Spencer, who believes
that any living thing can be taught to live
out of it's element. Several months ago he
caught large catfish without doing it any
injury and proceeded in an experiment to
prove his theory. He dug hole in his
yard, which he filled with water, and in
which he deposited the fish, Every DAY ne
took out portion Of the water until there
was very little left. This he let evaporate,
and wonderful to say the fish still lived, &C
customing itself to the air and apparently
thriving.
Finally Squire Spencer took the fish out Of
the hole and kept him in the yard, where
he fed him and treated him in much the
same way thath he would treat any, BARNARD
animal. The fish at once took on doc1le haD-
it's and became very: affectionate. Whenever
it saw it's master it gave forth a sound Of
recognition and wabbed itself AS. near as
possible to him. Spencer petted him and be-
came so fond of him that he would often take
him along with him when he went away
from home. So " YlHFe1 r--qIfo;,ssJa
One thing peculiar about the fish was that
it would never have anything to do with the
other members of Spencers family. but would
show great fear at their approach. Spencer
was very jubilant at this apparent vindica-
ton Of his theory, and was preparing to ex-
hibit the phenomenon at the county fairs In
his section sah -s,,.s
But the most remarkable part of the story
yet remains to be told. One day. as Spencer
was starting off for short walk, the fish
started to wabble along with him. All went
we'll until Spencer crossed shallow creek
on foot log, and the fish. in attempting to
follow, got as far as, the middle Of the log,
lost his balance and fell into the water
Spencer could have saved the fish, but sup
posing that it could swim, he let it alone
when, to his surprise, the fish. after making
several desperate founders in the water,
keeled over on it's back and drowned.

RUINED BY HIS GOAT.
Its Appetite Forced a California
Farmer Into Bankruptcy.

Oakland Times. III 81
Joseph Martin, an Elnhurst farmer, has
been forced into insolvency by a billy goat
Mr. Martin feels greatly aggrieved at the
animal for the cruel mariner in which 1t has
treated him, but the goat has the best Of the
argument and the farmer is in financial
fix.
In January of this year Martin rerked from
Henry Hayes fifteen acres of fruit orchard
near San Leandro. Martin moved with his
family, including the goat, onto the premises
and all went well for few days.
1t was smooth sailing as long as there we're
old cans and discarded boots for a goat to
iced on. but the supply was not equal to the
demand and William had to look about for
something else to subsist on. He had never
tried fruit trees as a diet, so he concluded to
tackle the Hayes orchard just to find out how
the wood tasted
One taste was enough to satisfy the goat
that he had lost half his life by not trying
I fruit trees before He went through the or
chard, and when he finished the wreck was
complete.
Hayes attention was called to the condition
OF his fruit trees, and when he viewed the re-
goat to chew his anger knew no bounds. He
went straight to justice of the peace and
sued Martin for damages. Judgment was
rendered in his favor to the amount of $342

during that time has shown himself one Of

contrast to his predecessor. In his day he
was a brilliant advocate, and has held brief
on pretty nearly every important case dur
ing the last twenty years. At one time his
annual professional income must have
amounted to at least $150000. His most
famous performance was his defense of Par

he made speech that lasted three consecu-

MUSEUM IN THE OLD HOUSE,
First Building in Minneapolis Re-
stored" 20 Original Condition.

The old Stevens house is now enioy-
ing as near the same condition as it
had at the time when it was the onlv
building on this side of the river. The
old roof has been shingled; the broken
plastering repaired, and glass placed in
the windows. 1t would be impossible
for man to do more to give it back its
old originality, than what has been
done. Standing on the bank of Long
fellow glen in Minnehaha park, it now
again represents the same picture of
lonesomeness that it did long years ago.
The house WILL however, not be unoc-
cupied. The park board is exerting
every influence to restore to the inter-
ior as much of the originality as to the
exterior. The old bedstead and curtains
have been secured. and hopes are en-
terta1ned that the cradle in which the
first white child was lulled to sleep in.
will also be found. The board also en-
tertains the hope that such as NAV
have in their possession any relics that
may be connectible with the early his
tory of the city, will donate them to
the board to be placed In the old house.

aristocracy having begun presenting their
gifts to the young bridal couple, they are
now being followed by the numerous towns,

presents received there are up to now not
less than forty-eight ladies' bicycles, for 1t
is known that Princess Maud is an enthu-
siastic wheelwoman. There are wheels of al
most every class, make and Of the most vary
ing constructions and executions some
adorned with engravings and others with in

is the recipient of several dozen motor car
riages, some driven by steam others by pc

ents is still fashionable in aristoeratic Eng
