HASN'T PAID HIS BET.
Courts Are Not Likely to Compel
This Bryanfte to Do So.

The services of the foolkiller are usu-
ally required about election time to
take care of some people who make
absurd Wagers on the results The
contest just passed through proved no
exception, and now one Of the most
ridiculous bets has come to light. On
Aldrich avenue live two men, one a
business man, the other an engineer.
One is an enthusiastic supporter Of Nc
k1nley and sound money, while the
other is, or at least was, a pronounced
silverite. These two citizens live in the
same block and are the best Of friends,
although on opposite sides Of the
political fence. To make sure of their
enthusiasm for their respective, candi-
dates, they resolved to make a wager
which would not be copied by every
wager maker. The engineer made a
written agreement that If Mckinley
were elcted, he would walk the entire
length of the block in which he lives
entirely naked, with the exception of
q breech cloth, provision being made
that II there were snow on the ground
the unfortunate would be permitted to
wear shoes. In case of Bryan's suc-
cess, the other man was to undergo the
same treatment. At last accounts the
bet had not been paid, and a compro-
mise is likely.

HAVANA, Nov 15-No very explicit
news has been received from Capt.
Gen. Weyler, but it is known that after
the engagement at the Rubi hills he
continued his march into the interior of
the mountains toward Sorea, and he
succeeded in penetrating to points
which no other Spanish columns have
ever reached. He has had several
skirmishes with the insurgents, not
withstanding the advantage of position
which they hold in these mountain
strongholds, but he has not succeeded
In confronting any considerable force
OF the insurgents. The insurgents have
again attacked the village Of Condado
and have cannonaded 1t, but without
inf1icting any damage, the Spanish
sharpshooters having silenced the artil-
lery by picking off the gunners. Eighty
eight families and 482 men have con-
centrated at Mantua in Pinar del Rio
Capt. Gen. Weyler is now at Oleaga.
The committee of national defense
today held a meeting presided over by

The flying squirrel is very pretty

The naturalist, Brehm, relates that
one of these animals was brought home
from New Holland in a ship. He was
very friendly and playful, and de-
Hghted to spring from mast to mast.
On one occasion the ship changed its,
course suddenly while he was in the.
air. Every one thought he would fall
into the sea, but he easily changed hiss
own course and regained the ship.

powers are the petaurists, who have

One, headed "Unmasked." denounced

the result Of this article was to have
Mr. Chamberlain placed under the

casioned the greatest excitement among
Irishmen and denunciation by them
generally, was published in the Irish
Republic on Sept 13 last, a week after
DIR. Thomas Gallagher, who was re-

amnesty committee which received
Gallagher, and his denunciation of the

BIG GAME PRESERVE PROJECTED
Scheme to Buy 100000 Acres of New
Mexico Land for the Purpose

WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 15.--If the
plans recommended by Charles Payne,
of this city, the well known hunter
and authority on all questions pertain
ing to wild game, are carried out, the
greatest private game preserve in the
United States will soon be established
in Northern New Mexico
Mr.. Payne has for several years been
engaged in supplying live wild ami
mails to owners Of game preserves, and
in this way has become acquainted
with many men Of wealth who are
imbued with the huntsman's instinct
and who have adopted the fad Of prop
agating large wild game for their
own amusement. He has been so fire.
quently importuned for information
as to the best location for extensive
private hunting grounds In the West
that he recently took a trip through
Colorado and New Mexico and made a
thorough investigation of the project.
His report, which will be submitted
in a few days, recommends the pur-
chase of nearly 200,0 900 acres of noun
famous land, which now belongs to the
Maxwell Land Grant company, and
which Is located in Northern New Mex
leo. 1t is made up of mesas, noun
tains, valleys, lakes and natural parks.
and is abundantly wooded and watered.
Should 1t be used for a game preserve.
the entire tract will be enclosed with a
high and strong wire fence and stocked
with all manner Of wild game. 1t will
be maintained by expert game keepers
and the propag cation of large wild game
will be carried on on scientific princi-
pies.
