A sparrow's Costly Funeral.

After the outbreak of the Cuban revo-
luton in 1868 the bitterness against spar
rows imported from Spain as well as 9TH
ers became intensified. One day a sentinel
on guard at the palace in Havana found
the body of dead sparrow, which had
fallen from one of the trees in the park.
With the greatest care and reverence he
took the little body before a council Of
volunteers then being held. The volun-
teers deliberated over the death of the
bird and on the impulse of the moment
they passed resolutions of respect for
the deceased sparrow and made an as
sessment among the members of the vol
unteers, whereby they raised $4,000, the
idea being to give the little Spanish SPAR
row a most imposing funeral. A skillful
silversmith was summoned before a COM
mittee and ordered to make a beautiful
casket of silver, to be deliberately trim
med with gold, for the bird. The hand
soonest hall in the city was obtained and
the diapers put to work to prepare 1t for
the reception of the sparrow. which was
to lie in state. In the center of this hall
a richly decorated catafalque was erected
and on this the little casket containing
the remains of the sparrow was placed.
All the city and military officers visited
the hall and paid homage to the bird. The
volunteers appointed a strongly armed
body to guard the remains. A bishop was
forced to offlciate at the ceremonies.
While the body was lying in state the
occupants of the houses on the streets on
which the funeral procession was to
march were ordered to have their houses
draped.
When the day of the funeral arrived
the volunteers were out in full force and
the procession was one of the most i'm
posing. During the march several per-
sons lost their lives. One was observed
on the sidewalk laughing and presumably
ridiculing the demonstration and one of
the volunteers shot him down in his
tracks. A house was passed that had not
been draped for the occasion, and one of
the inmates being seen by the volunteers,
was also shot. After a lengthy march the
casket was returned to the starting point

To the Editor of the Standard:
To the Editor of the Standard: There is
nothing in life puzzles me as much the
different way we see things. l always
like to read the Standard, and / have us
ually agreed with what the Standard
says. until lately. Here is the difference:
During the last year or two there have
been an alarming number of men killed
in England playing at the game of foot
bail. The number killed. both in England
and America. besides the number who got
ripped up the back in the way OF being
crippled for life. is simply immense-that.
too. while the game was witnessed by
some Of the best men and women on
both sides of the Atlantic. l have never
seen word of protest either in or out
of the legislative halls.
Let me say something to you. The great
big bullies OF Christian nations folded
their arms for the last six months or
more and watched murderous savages ap-
ply the rack, the sword, the torch and the
cannon to lot of half-starved. defense
less. innocent people for the simple crime
of being followers of the teachings of
Christ Christ. who. whether human or
divine. was the ideal of pure life Yet
those nations passed no law that was in
any way effective against the murderous
savages.
have seen some of the same nations
rushing to their legislative halls red hot
before breakfast, showing their great
sense OF morals, passing laws to prevent
two huskies. as stout as iron. from CIV
ing each other a good whipping with a
pair of gloves as big as pillows.
The governor of Texas put that state TO
the expense of SEQ, 900 to prevent a set-to
of the above kind. That much would be a
splendid starter for a fine irrigating ca
nal through the dusty plains of Texas.
Let me ask you a question. Do YOU
know any refined man or woman in
America who would refuse to witness a
hot skirmish between two first-class bat
ueships, no matter how many people
might get crippled or killed? / have seen
some very fine newspaper men watch two
bulls hook each other by the horns and
with eager eye observe their struggles

observe a dog fight on the public streets

From the San Francisco Call.
When / was collecting specimens of

the noted DR.. MAMMALIAN Schumann
yesterday, Il had an experience with
rattlesnakes that came near being the
death of me-"
The doctor had just returned from
Sacramento. where he had been for
couple of days on a hunting trip. He is
the Belgian explorer and naturalist
who went through Africa, and is now
bound to Thibet for the Baron de
Rothschild and the Institution of Ma
tural Sciences of Luxumburg. In tell
ing of his adventures he said:
II had gone a days journey on horse
back from the city of Zacatecas to the
southeast to examine some old Toltec
ruins there. These are known as the
Quemada ruins. They are very extern

"On my arrival within the ruins I lit
a fire to get my supper. after which 1

my hand outside of the blanket, and it
almost touched big, poisonous rattle

Looking toward my feet what was my
establishment to see rattlesnakes all
over the blankets. There were no less
than six of them besides the one that
had missed my hand.
The reptiles were not the Crotalus

very poisonous. When 1 had lit my
fire in the evening I could not see the
snakes. which, l presume, had crept
along the wall.
THE altitude of Zacatecas and the
old ruins is between 1000 and 5000 feet,
and Ii gets quite cold at night. My
fire was what undoubtedly attracted
them. When they got out toward it
they found my bed. and discerning the

I escaped being bitten. AS did not

wanted, l killed them and nailed them
all to the adobe wall, with my card on
each.
The lizards and other reptiles which
/ got there / sailed away in casks and

belief among the Indians, notably
among the Creeks, Cherokees and Choc-
taws i'm Indian territory, where / was
for a time, that If one is bitten by a
rattlesnake all he has to do to prevent
fatality is to eat the snake. But I
never discovered any virtue in this.
The best remedy is to Immediately bind
a thong above the wound so that the
poinson cannot circulate higher. Then
cut an incision below the wound and
squeeze out as much blood as possible.
Then is to the wound is made an appli-
cation of potash or any alkali there is

they could be seen by thousands and

A burglary was reported to Chief
White as having been perpetrated Sat
urday night at the residence of Mrs.
Wallace, a colored lady, who resides
near the corner of Park and Elm
streets.
Mrs. Wallace and her neighbors. the
waltons, had all been to'see the show,
"In Old Kentucky" and they reached
home about the same time. When Mrs.
Wallace entered her house she found a
window raised, though the doors were
locked. She investigated at once and
discovered that a trunk belonging to
Mrs Fannie Platter had been broken
into and rifled of its contents.
The report was at once made to the
Waltons and a search of the premises
made. but the burglar had gone, no
doubt, some time before.
Mrs. Platter reports the loss of n pair
OF diamond earrings valued at $500. a
solitaire ring worth $50. and a brooch
pin decorated with three diamond
fakes. Mrs. Platter is a middle-aged
colored woman and, so far as known.
has no ambition to appear on the stage
as star. The police credit her story,
and are making diligent efforts to re-
