THIS BIRD ATE a cow.
A California VuIture That Stands
six Feet in His Bare TaIOns.
From the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Chino. March ia bird of prey as tall
as man! Such is the prize just 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 his Notwithstanding, red-wat-
tied head to its strong, scaly talons. it
measures six feet. Its plucky captor is an
inch or two shorter in his cowhide boots.
The man has the advantage In weight,
for the bird weighs 100 pounds. stu, that
is a fair fighting weight to carry through
the rarefied upper air In order to ac-
compiish this feat the vulture Is provided
with wings that have a spread OF twelve
feet. Withal, the ornithologists who have
seen 1t say that il is merely youngster.
Apart from the red wattles already al
luded to, the birds head conveys the idea
of a very bald old man of misery in
stincts. The back and the upper part of
the wings are very gray and the tail and
larger wing feathers are glossy black.
The legs and feet are of a reddish hue.
Altogether, Mr.. Gird's pet is a formida-
ble-looking customer. Partly from this
reason, partly because of his red poll,
partly because of his light weight in con-
trast to his extreme hight and stength.
and partly because he shows a disposition
to deal Knockout blows to whoever ap-
DroacheS him, Mr.. Giro 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. Alured by the palatable flavor of
dead COW, the bird devoured nearly every
particle of flesh from its bones, which so
oppressed him that however vigorously he
tapped his wings he was unable to soar
away to his eyrie among distant noun
tain Businesses.
In this humiliating predicament he was
lassoed and dragged, huttering ponder
ously but helplessly, to Mr.. Girds stable
HIS mood just at present is trifie morose,
as might be expected under the circum-
stances, but Mr.. Grid hopes to convert the
bird into an affectionate and interesting
household pet. Even in the birds present
untutored condition his owner declares
that he would not take 81 900 for him.
Mr.. Grid probably does not exaggerate
the value of his acquisition. The Califor-
MIA vulture is very nearly extinct, owing
to the traps laid for birds of prey by set
tiers

Danville, Ind. March 20.-Mrs. Hannah
Pratt Jessup. pastor Of the Friends church
in this city, has been cured Of a fatal dis
ease by prayer. For some time her health
has been declining, and the best medical
skill could give no relief from her afflic-
tion which was Bright's disea Sc. There
have been times in the last month when
matter OF rev hours. As a last resort
she and her husband decided to visit Dr.
Dowie Of Chicago, who has been doing
good by prayer.
They went TO him and spent a week in
his house, but Mrs. Jessup felt no relief
They decided to return home, and the last
night Of their stay in Chicago they visited
the Pacific garden mission, the largest in
the city.
Mrs. JessuD led the service. and many
came to the altar and confessed their sins
Her thought then turned 10 herself She
decided 10 ask for the prayers OF these
present. In a few words she told her
story why she was IN the city and OF her
hopeless return home on the morrow She
asked for prayers. hmm ediately several

Trying to Guido ElneI.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
A company has been formed to erect on
the lake 'front.' or some other place in the
city, a tower 1150 feet high-higher than
any other tower In the world. The design
Is by d. r. Proctor and took the prize
offered by James w. Scott in 1890 for the
greatest attraction TO the Worlds Column
bian Exposition. The number of designs
placed in competition was about 100, but
Proctor's took the prize. There was too
much else to do about the worlds fair
and the erection Of tower was given up.
1t is now thought by many that such q
feature would prove a success and add to
the attractions OF Chicago. The construc-
ton and success of the Eiffel tower has
proved that the building Of structures OF
this kind Is not only practicable, but that
they can be made successful as business
enterprises. The Eiffel tower which cost
81 200. 900. is said TO have paid for itself in
six months. Mr.. Proctor claims that a
tower after his design can be built for
one-third less and Will have a greater
earning capacity. The Eiffel tower has
only six elevators, while Proctor's tower
viii have fourteen, and will have addi-
tlOnal features that will add to its rev.
enue. II Is the desire Of the promoters 10

wards, members of the state board of as
SCISSORS went to Pittsburg to assess some
property of the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf railroad. Col Z. L. Martin,
president of the road, was at Pittsburg
in his private car and extended an invi-
tation to the assessors to eat with him
during their sojourn in the city. Kan
sas man always avails himself of a good
thing, and Col Martins hospitality was
promptly accepted.
Just before dinner was announced Col.
Martin ordered some liquid refreshments,
but the Kansans did not imbibe. The
coloners face showed surprise, but he said
nothing. At supper time he again pressed
the beverage button, but his guests be-
haved as they did at the noon hour. This
was too much for the colonel, and he in
quired the cause of the backwardness.
Everybody was silent for minute, ana
then Mr.. Anterior spoke.
The fact is colonel" he said, I'VE are
afraid OF one another. Try us one at a

the liquor holds out"
Col. Martin saw the point and transact
ed business accordingly from that time on.

From the Chicago Record.
Logansport, Ind. March al. ]. Turner,
general manager of the Vandalia line, was
making trip over the road in his special
car a few days ago. When the train stop
ped at Terre Hautte he left his car for a
moment and stood on the platform, talk

said Hayes, but struck by the lads deep
disappointment, he suggested that he re-
peat his request to Mr.. Turner, who had
been an interested listener.
Not in the least abashed, the boy stated
his case TO the general manager, and that
official not only listened kindly to the re-
quest, but made the youth inexpressibly
happy by bringing him to Logansport in
his own private car. Mr.. Turner invited
his young guest to take dinner with him

The young man did justice to all the
dishes except to a plate of corn bread. How
the table was loaded with delicacies was
beyond his comprehension. Amusement
was plainly depicted upon his countenance
as he observed Mr.. Turner eat the corn
bread with evident relish, and he gave vent
to his feelings by saying:

A GREAT RABBITT DRIVE.
Thousands Killed and n Coyote
TrampIed TO Death by the Fright-
cned Rabbits

AE"mpieu 10 Dehth Dy the triBht-
ened Rabbits.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Fresno. March 21.-The great rabbit
drive. which was so deliberately planned.
was to-day carried into successful execu-
ton, with the result that thousands of rab-
bits met their fate from the merciless
clubs of farmers and town people. Esti-
mates as to the number killed vary rang
ing from 10000 to 5000. 1t was impossible
to count them and the best estimate is no
better than a guess. But the slaughter
surpassed anything OF the kind over seen
here before.
Ten thousand people took part-footmen.
horsemen, Wheelmen, and vehicles Of ali
sorts. When the line was formed ready
Tor advance II was In huge crescent,
one horn near Mcmillan station, and the
other near Caruthers. on the west side
OF the railroad. The line of poople was
twenty-four miles long II was after M
O'Clock when W. II. Rowell signalled "a
general advance, and the line moved for
ward across orchards, fields, vineyards
ana hnally emerged on the open plains.
The best OF order was maintained. The
marshals galloped along the line giving
Instructions. Toward noon the north and
south wings began TO fold inward to the
center, and when within three miles of
the corral the line of men had contracted
I'll u was less than three miles long
All this time the rabbits had been driven
forward, constantly increasing in num-
berS. Al nrst ihey had not shown much
concern, but when they began to be crowd
ed they grew excited. Several coyotes
We're started. Some were shot, and 9th
ers died later. Some whelps were caught
alive. Many rattlesnakes were killed,
When the rabbits had been driven into a
comparatively small space they covered
the ground, and soon grew excited and
tried TO escape by rushing through the
lines. Then the slaughter began. A SOL
III line OF men dropped on their knees and
dubbed the rabbits. From this point TO
the corral men advanced on their knees,
leaving the ground heaped with the dead
behind them. Fully 10000 were thus killed
and the others were forced into the corral,
where they rushed to and fro, frantic
with fear. They trampled and smothered
one another to death by thousands. A
coyote that entered the corral was act
ually trampled to death by the rabbits.
Fifteen minutes with clubs finished the
work.
Many good Judges place the total killed
at 10000. Farmers hauled wagon loads
away, to feed hogs. The best of order pre-
vailed. Only one person refused to obey
orders He was beaten and driven off
the grounds by the crowd. The drive
was the best managed. the largest and
most satisfactory ever held in the county.
