FRESHENED THEIR TOILETS
Chickens and Pigeons Had Day to
Rest and Plume

Chlckens ana I1geonS Had a Day to
Rest and Plume.
Chickens have a day of rest, as well as
all other Of the domestic fowl known as
poultry. Fowl never welcomed Sunday
more gladly than those on exhibition at
the show OF the American Poultry Asso-
citation.
They were excited all day and night Sat
urday. To have so many people looking at
them and being in new place was dis
concerting.
But they are over that now. Today and
tonight visitors To the show will see
calm set Of prize winning chickens, turkeys
ducks, geese, and the assorted ct cetera
which comprises a great national ex-
hibit.
Yesterday the fright and uneasiness hav-
ing worn off all the feathered families
smoothed their pluIBage and are now in a
condition TO excite the admiration they de-
serve.
Aside from the general exhibition the
cat in the pigeon pen, the duck pond, the
swans afloat, the pheasants, and Bob
White and family Will be great attractions
today and night. Catalogues of the entire
exhibit are on sale, and viii be found the
most intelligent guide to the display.
Washington has had poultry shows, but
never one conducted on such scale of
magnitude IS this one. Prize winners in
all departments are here. 1t is all worth
seeing. And be sure and LET the little ones
see the brides getting their first peep of
daylight.
The incubators will be turning out
great many animate additions to the show
today and the turning out by artificial
mothers should not be missed.
All OF the interesting features of the show
are by no means confined to the representa-
tves OF the popular inha abitants OF the
Acknowledgement. There is pair OF West
Indian squirrels there, the owner OF which
claims they are the only ones of the kind in
thiscountry. Thesquirrels are a ittlesmaIIer
than the common grey variety OF this
country and more ferocious. The back and
sides OF the animal are coated in black fur
That continues and grows bushier over the
tail The breast and belly is of a reddish
hue while stripes OF white mark the hind
legs. The animals display a friendliness
for all feed but show particular partiality
for the fingers of people who are so foolish
as to submit these members for intercourse
with their mouths.
Another freak is pair Of brown jack
rabbits, while directly over their pen rests
the cage of a family OF pigeonettes that are
coated in garb as red as the neckscarf
OF River View swell.
La not far distant ca ge are the two head
members of household of pheasantS. The

istic of being unlike any other male phcas-
ants in the selection of his costume. His
breast is as black as an Egyptian night
spattered with Washington gaslight, while
his feet and spurs are red. Back from
either side OF his yellow beak a reddish
yelvety substance runs almost to the back
Of the head and causes the eye on either side
TO stand out like bright bead. The rest
OF the body. including the long and flowing
tail is clad in white feathers that are etched
in Jet black with such delieaey and nicely,
that they look like they had been touched
with pen in the hands of an artist.

SMALL FRY TO GO HOME
But the Maher-Fitz Contest Still
Hangs Fire.
AHUMADA SAYS He Is ALERT
All the Small Contests of the Fistic
Carnival Are Declared Off and the
Managers Confine the Quarrel to
the Maher- er-Fitzsimmons Affair
A Big Bull Fight.

Ell Paso, Tex Feb. 1G.-At 8 o'clock
tonight Dan Stuart announced to the crowd
OF correspondents and sports in his office
that the Everett-Leeds, Wolcott- -BTighteyes,
Marshalt-Dixon and Barry Murphy contests
were officially declared off and that he
would pay theforfeit OF Observation-Disclosures
tom morrow.
The announcement was not accompanied
with any reasons for this step, but later
it was stated in Stuart's behalf by one
or his associates, as one or the tights was
already past due and another due tomorrow
he regarded as useless to carry out the lesser
features of the carnival so long as the
big fight was undecided, and that, moreover,
as the little fellows were beginning to
kick, the conclusion had been reached 10
sponge off the slate, beginning with the
second line.
II is now more likely than ever that the
firstiine also will be wiped offtomorrow.
Some complications between the fighters
are likely to arise as the result or the
abandonment. Leeds and Eyerhart who
were to have fought on Tuesday, should
weigh in tomorrow under forfeit OF 81 600.
EYerhart, however, recognizing several
days ago that tie game was up, has been
taking things easy and gaining flesh with
the result that he tips the beam tonight at
14O, or eight pounds overweight.
MUST WEIGH IN.
Capt. Glori, Leeds backer, insists, how
ever, that the weighing in shall take place
and says that he will claim the forfeit il
Eyerhart fails TO appear or If he is over
weight.
Gu coming hack to town from a confer
ence with Martin Julian, Connolly went
at once TO headquarters and wrote dis
patch TO Maher, telling him to come down
on the morning train, even if he had to
envelope his head in a Mexican blanket.
This done, he said: eve viii see whether
or not FitZsimmons takes the forfeit in

HER GUM WAS USEFUL.
eagscIous Street Car Conductor Saved
Gold Coin
New York journal.

A young man whose good qualities were
partially obScured by recent indulgence in
wine was riding north on a Broadway car
one evening last week and when the con-
ductor came in for his fare he pulled a
handful OF coin from a pocket. In the lot
he detected five-dollar gold piece.
To be sure that he would not inadvert-
entity pass out FLYER for a nickel he re-
solved 10 transfer it TO another pocket. but
temporarily laid it on the window sill, while
he continued an examination OF his frac-
tonsl currency. A sudden larch OF The car
as il swung around a curve caused the gold
coin to fall into the open space in which the
window is stored when down.
In vain a day with a thin arm at
tempt to recover the coin. Al last the con.
ductor came TO the rescue Lend me that
gum, Maggie" he said, Familiarity to a
young woman, who, In e corner seat, was
masucating tutti fruitti."
Maggie took the gum out rather reluctant
ly. The conductor then took the cane froa
the hands OF the astonisiled cfappie, stuck
the gum TO the ferrule, and with the re-
mark; "It's easy when you know how"
Inserted the cane into the slot. and q mo-
meat later brought the sinner 10 the surface.

this talk, but said never a word.
GOVERNOR MAKES A SHOW.
To representative of the United Press
the Governor said this evening that he
was still on the alert, and proposed to re-
main at the post of duty until the fighters
had for a certainty, abandoned their plans
and the Mexican soil was safe from their
invasion.
Dan stuart was pressed again today by
a number OF Eastern men, who are waiting
over and whistlng to keep up their coura ge.
to give them a candid opinion upon which
they might determine whether 10 go home
at once or wait While longer. One OF these,
Neis Wiedman of Baltimore, spoke his mind
freely to the big promoter.
Both the Baltiinorean and the others in
the same boat with him are without salts
faction tonight.
Maher's eyes have improved wonderfully
during the past twenty-four hours. The
catarrhal discharge has been arrested, the
spots within the lids have vanished, and
very little blood remains about the eye-ballS.
The face above anu below the eyes, how
ever, is scared by the blstering lotions
applied by the physicians. Around the left
eye there are several incrustations On the
whole, however. the improvement has been
more rapid than the physicians expected.

AT the close OF the fights FitZSimmons

the custom Of the country, but that he
deprecated the use OF horses in bull fights.

GUARDING THE NEW BILL
Board Of Trade BuHd Measure
Is Kept a Secret.
IT is A COMPROMISE ACT
That Body Is Said to Have Been
Forced to Recognize That Sewers
Are as Importan as Street Ex-
tenslons-W hole Thing VIII Come
Out at Tomorrow Nights Meeting

The board of trade will meet tomorrow
night when it Will have up for discussion
grade crossings. and possibly the biii sug-
gested by its special committee ON the SUBJ
ject or sewers and street extensions.
The subcommittee OF the special committee
10 which the whole matter was referred
das agreed on bill, but they are zealously
guarding it as secret.
The subcommittee has taken the ground
that IL would be abreach ofofficial etiquette
TO report TO the press before the board of
trade has been put in possession of the new
suggested measures. That is the position
the members of the committee assumed
when asked by The Times for the substantial
parts OF their bill.
II is very probable, however, that there
has been mutual yielding of the claims
of the Commissioners, as represented by
Mr.. Worthington. who is Oh the committee,
and Mr.. Mattingly, who represented the
cases in which tie old highway act was
declared unconstitutional. and who is also
ON the committee which drafted the bill
Tor the board or trade. The subcommittee
having the bill in charge has agreed
unanimously ON its terms.
HAS NOT THEIR SANCTION.
Several OF the members OF the board OF
trade have stated that they kEcw nothing
about Mr.. Richardson's new bill introduced
last Saturday, and which Is practically
new highway act, carrying with it an
appropriation of six million dollars TO BE
! raised by bonds at thee Fer cent, nlatur-
| ing in fifty years. 1t is certain that the
Richardson bill is sno The bilI to Ee presented
| to the hoard of trade tomorrow night.
The last idea CT some OF the influential
members of the hoard OF trade was that,
| If the provision for the sewers had not
been hampered by the provision for street
extensions the appropriation for bonds
| for the construction of sewers might have
| gotten through Congress.
This was argued before the hoard of
| trade and also at one of II public meet
| iDgs of the special committee, and it is
said that a separation OF the two inter
ests was the only means by which the
committee could come TO terms.
One OF those vino made IN argument on
this line was MIR. Read, chairman OF the
committee on streets and sewers of the
board Of trade, and his views were in
dorsed by several prominent members at
the public meeting OF the special commit
tee.

ROSE TYLER's PLACE RATDED.
Her Whlskey Once Led to Fatal
Affray.

The unlicensed bar of Rose Tyler in
Pleasant alley was raided yesterday by
Sergt. DAILY and Policemen Greer and
Muller of the Fourth precinct.
The police eye has been fastened on this
resort for some months. At the time OF
the Dade-P atterson killing in Pleasant
alley it was developed that both men bought
the whisky, which probably led to the
fight, In the house Of Rose Tyler.
When this testimony was brought out
Rose suspended the sale of whisky. Her
revenues running low, she was forced 10
resume operations, and with the result
that she spend last night at police station

MUST CARRY SEWERS.

One of the members said last night that
the Richardson bill would prove unpopular.
as it omitted anything on the subject OF
sewers. which heretofore, either as q blind
or with sincerity. was made the principal
object of The bond bill
Another objection urged was that while
it admitted that Sc 900. 600 was the least
possible provision FOR the proposed new
| streets, ii had already been amply proved
that this was a Totally inadequate amount
and that. even supposinG the figures to be
approximately correct, the necessary addi-
ton OF the amount for sewers, would ma Ike
total at least SlI 600, 600 or 81 9, 600 900
1t was IDLE, he said to suppose that even
| the board of trade. or rather its most Tadi
| cal members, would have the hardihcod to
go into the game OF street extensions to the
tune of $4,000 600 and let the provision
| for sewers be a secondary consideration
and most probably fail of passage alto
gether, If debt OF Sc .000, eco was created
! for speculative purposes for streets beyond
| the city limits.
This consideration, he said. would be
enough 10 kill the bill # it was ever urged
| in Congress.
SCHEME BEHIND 1T.
1t is said that the new idea of pushing
street extensions in the far northwest and
north in the suburbs is intended TO make
| way for an electric lighting scheme. It
viii not be difficult, it is supposed. 10 get
| Congress TO permit the laying of conduits
to connect certain suburbs coDcurrently
! with the construction of streets beyond the
boundary.
The situation has been so mixed by the
new bill before Congress that it is inn
possible to conceive how the board of
| trade will meet the new conditions. Either
| Mr.. Richardson, or somebody for whom he
| introduced the bill, has put the public on
| notice that the making of new streets is
| the matter of most vital Importance to
| the health of the city, while the board of
| trade has been put on notice that there
| is no chance of passing q street extension
| bill, but there was a chance of passing
sewer bill.
| The Richardson bill. like the previous one,
will have to run the gauntlet OF the courts,
| and it is so similar in it's legal aspects to
| the defunct measure that it viii be op-
| posed just as its predecessor was when
| the matter of "confiscations' confrUnts
| the people whose lands are to be taken
| for the benefit OF the scheme.
Mr.. Richardson evidently believes that
Judge Cox W i'll be sustained as to the uncon-
| stitutionality OF the old highway act, or
| he would not be engaged in having a sub
stitute passed.

TIE IRON MOUNTAIN MUST PAY.

John W. Paup, through his at
torneys, Scott & Jones, has won an
other victory over the Iron Noun
tain railroad in a damage suit. The
Iron Mountain, it seems, built an
embaukment on which to lay its
track in Red River bottom, aud the
openings or trestle works were
not sufficiently wide to carry of the
water during an overflow. In 1889
after the crops were planted and up
there came an overflow and the
back water spread over the farm
and crop of John W. Paup, destroy
ing it entirely. He brought suit
for damages and proved his case in
the Circuit Court. The Iron Noun
tain appealed to the State Supreme
Court, and it has been hard fight
from the day it was docketed. The
Court on Saturday decided that
the Iron Mountain was the cause of
the damage and must pay for the
crop destroyed. The sum recovered
will amount to $500 or $1,000.
This will be good news to the far
mers living in the overflow district,
tor all they have to do now is to
prove up their claim as to damage
and get their money from the claim
agent. This being the fact, Scott
h Jones have not only won victory
for John W. Paup, but the entire
land holders living in this district
where the water is backed up on
the land.

Human Arm Kneading.

Where the kneading of dough is
performed by hand it is impossible
even under the most favorable cir
cumstances to prevent the exuding
of the sweat of the brow and more
particularly of the powerful arms
that are dived up to the armpits
into the pillows of flour aud water
which they are to knead. Added
to this is the putting and blowing of
all kinds of breath, charged with
tobacco, drink, or the germs of an
impaired health, or merely the in
frmlty of sueezing during the pass
ing indispositon called bad cold.
And what a concourse of bacilli,
bacteria and their aunts and cous.
ins must be congregated there with
open jaws ready to seize upon their
victims. For the consolation of
those bakers who are still obliged to
resort to this means of kneading
dough be it stated that there are
many people who do not mind it all,
A lady, ScrupulousIy clean IN every
thing else, expressed the conviction
that all of the above named flavor
ings disappeared in the heat to
which the bread was exposed in the
process Of baking. Faith is half
the cure and such customers are
quite likely to live long enough to
see out the last pair of human arm
kneaders. There must of course be
exceptions to prove a rule, and the
rule is that the more the public
sees and hears of the manual pro-
cess of making bread, the more
they shrink from eatngit, and the
more they patronize those bakeries
where machininery is used, and
bread is made almost untouched by
hand.
A hint to the wise is sufficient
