HER GOLD-TIPPED TOE,
Why Dentist Leeds Has Sued a Song
stress.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Every one remembers Tom Hoods re-
markable heroine in his famous poem,
Miss kilmansegg and Her Golden Leg
The girl he told of was only a creature OF
his imagination; but Miss Florence Selma
the New York Music Hall singer, is a piece
OF plump reality, and though she hasn't
a golden leg, she has q gold tipped toe.
Several months ago Selma fell from her
bicycle and hurt that toe. The result was
an ingrowing nail. At first she paid little
attention to 1t. But later the pain in
creased. The troublesome nail got right
down to business, 1t grew in by day and
It grew In by night
The constant aggravation which ema-
mated from that big toe began to play
havoc with her smiles She says she be-
came SO cross and irritable that she no
longer was pleased to meet her friends.
And still the nail grew in.
Having experimental with arnica, To-
tions and every preparation known 10 the
drug stores without relief, fl occurred TO
her that the offending toenail might he
capped with gold in precisely the :ame
manner that dentists cap tooth. SO she
called upon DIR. Leeds, who undertook the
job, much against his own convictions. he
says.
Dr. Leeds is not chiropodist, but he
says, the result from a professional stand
point, was highly satisfactory. Msdemoi
selle had three sittings. A plaster of paris
cast was made OF the foot. and the doctor
admits that he finally became quite inter-
ested in the work-from a professional
standpoint.
The golden toenail cap did not come UP
to Mile Selma's expectations, however, and
she fatty refused to pay S5i for the work.
After repeated efforts to collect his fee, Or.
Leeds brought suit to recover the money.

Shortly after the announcement of Miss

offered to assist In any way possibl> i'm

they had no money, tney could not buy
floral tributes, but Miss Field had always
been a friend of the negro and had done
what she could to improve the condition of
the race in the southern states They
would like to do sonnet hing as a mark of
appreciation and respect.
AS kind hands had done al that could be
done at that time DIR. McGrew thanked
them and gave assurance that their kind
ness would not be forgotten. During the
noon hour before the funeral on Wednes-
day one of the men went to DIR. McGrew's
in his working clothes and asked If he
might have last look at the earthly re-

much for his race. Although the casket

The steamer Australia, from Honolulu,
brings confirmation of the Associated
Press news concerning the demand made
by Great Britain that Volney Ashford be
permitted to return to Hawaii
The Dole government is very much ex-

The news Of England's demand original
ed in Washington, and was forwarded in
private correspondence to an Hawaiian

Britain has made a rather sharp demand
upon the government on behalf of Colonel
Ashford. The request is stated as the
suggestion, in diplomatic sentences, that q
pardon be issued to Ashford. and that he
be permitted to return to Hawaii without
conditions Of any sort.
1t Is stated by the Honolulu Star that the
republic declines to accept the British for
eign Offices view of the case, refuses to
grant the pardon or remove the ban, and
adds that II Colonel Ashford is landed un-
der British or other auspices or protec.
ton until there has been an extended and
complete review Of the case the action
will be at least protested.

President Eliot was incensed by the be-
haviof Of the young men In defying the
police and proniscuously discharging re-
VolVers and cannon crackers. After the
rumpus in Battle Square President Eliot

Peculiar and Not Altogether PLEASING
Habits of the Bird.

Peculiar and Not Altogether Pleasing
Habits of the Bird.
From the San Francisco Examiner
A bird of prey as tall as a man has been
captured by the superintendent of Richard
Gird's ranch in the hills south Of Chino
San Bernardino county. The prisoner is
a magnificent specimen of the California
vulture. without doubt the largest ever
taken captive. From the crown Of its
fredericksburg, red-wattled head to It's
strong. scaly talons it measures six feet
Its rlucky captor Is an inch or two shorter
in his cowhide boots. The man has the
advantage in weight, for the bird weighs
100 pounds. Still, that is a fair fighting
weight to carry through the raref1ed upper
air. In order to accomplish this feat the
vulture is provided with wings that have a
spread of twelve feet. Withal, the orni-
biologists who have seen it say that 1t is
merely a yOungSter.
Apart from the red whattles already al
luded to. the birds head conveys the idea
of a very bald old man Of misery in
stincts. The back and upper part of the
wings are gray and the tail and larger
wing feathers are a glossy black. The
legs and feet are of reddish hue. Alto
gether Mr.. Gird's pc: is a formidable look
ing customer. Partly for this reason,
partly because of his red poll, partly be-
cause of his light weight in contrast to his
extreme height and strength, and partly
because he shows vicious inclination to
deal knockout blows to whoever approach
es him, Mr.. Grid proposes to take good
care Of his prize, and Is prepared to match
him against any captive Wild bird living.
If the match were an eating contest Mr..
Grid would probably be on the safe side
Allured by the palatable flavor Of dead
COW, the bird devoured nearly every parti-
Gle of flesh from its bones, which so op-
pressed him that. however vigorously he
tapped his wings, he was unable to soar
away to his eyrte among distant mountain
Businesses. In this humiliating predica-
ment he was lassoed and dragged fut-
tering ponderously, but hopelessly, to Mr.
Gird's stable. His mood just at present is
a trifie morose, as might be expected un-
der the circumstances, but Mr.. Grid hopes
to convert the bird into an affec tionate
and interesting household pet. Even in
the birds present condition his owner
declares that he would not take s., 600 for
him.
Mr.. Grid probably does not exaggerate
the value Of his acquisition. The Cali
fornia vulture is very nearly extinct, owing
to traps laid for birds of prey by settlers

From Case and Comment.
Criminal liability for the reckless riding
of bicycle was visited with a sentence of
four months hard labor in the recent Eng
fish case Of Regina agt. Parker. which was
tried at Lewes assizes. The defendant was
charged in an Indictment for manslaughter
and also for furiously driving carriage or
vehicle contrary to section 35 of the Of
lenses against the person act Of 1861. The
sentence was imposed upon plea of guilty
to the second indictment. This plea was
accepted, although the prosecution consid-
cred that a conviction for manslaughter
quotes Mr.. Justice Hawkins as saying that
the counsel for the prosecution had very
mercifully asked only for conviction on
an indictment to which the prisoner was
that some one had thought fit to put the
law in motion and let those who were care
less and reckless of the lives of others
Know that they were punishable by the
law. The justice also said that q man or
women who rides bicycle is bound to con-
duct 1t with care and caution, and no more
entitled to ride recklessly and furiously
than to drive cart at furious pace
through the street.
Laws or ordinances on this subject, as on
all others, are made only for those who are
either mentally or morally deficient, and
not for those who are intelligent and con-
scientious enough not to need them. The
interesting and innocent party who, for
time whereof the memory Of man runneth
not to the contrary, has been carrying a
gun and did not know it was loaded has
now exchanged it for a wheel, and his
works do follow him. His victim is often
a fellow wheelman, but more often 1t is an
elderly lady or small child. Pusillanimous
municipal authorities have in many places
failed to check the increase of these crimes
In other places the authorities have been
more effective. To make the law of the
subject plain to the limited comprehension
Of scorchers a few convictions of man
slaughter will probably be necessary.
