A NEW YORK STREET SHOW

The Interesting Performance OF TN Equine
Gynrast.
It is the easiest thing in the world for
horse to eat from the ground standing
that is the way it feeds in nature
but morse that was standing in Nassau
street the other day, attached to a de-
livery wagon, ate from the ground in a
way that interested everybody who saw
him.
Strengthening out his fore legs in
front Of him, at an angle of about As
degrees, something as a dog Strengthens
out his fore legs in stretching, he low
cred his body at the shoulders to about
half its usual elevation above the
ground. Then he inclined his head
downward between his legs until his
lips touched the pavement. He didn't
need to bend his neck more than half as
much as would have been necessary if
he had remained standing with his fore
legs upright. It was like feat in gym
nastics.
A crescent shaped crowd gathered in
front of the horse, one horn Of the cres-
cent being on one sidewalk and the
other 'on the other. Somebody gut q
pear down on the pavement between the
horse's feet. Out went his feet and down
he lowered his body and then deliber-
ately he inclined his head and picked
up the pear; and then he Strengthened
up and ate it, all to the great enjoy
ment of the crowd. One man said Bar
mum ought to have him, and yet when
he Strengthened up and was standing at
rest he was just a good looking horse
whom nobody would ever have taken
for the prize horse gymnast.
A boy laid down the core Of al apple
and the horse picked that up as before
while the crowd looked Oh, and present
~ the driver came out of a building and
jumped Oh the seat Of the wagon. He
saw the crowd, but he didn' t let on that
he SAW it or anything remarkable at all:
he simply gathered up the lines and
drove off, and then the crowd melted
away.-New York Sun.

The People OF Dads.

Fierce as they are in war, the people
Of Dads are when at peace the gentlest
OF creatures. extremely devoted to their
children and living home life abso-
lutely unknown among the Arabs Just
as in appearance SO in moral character
do they excel, and the vices so common
among the Moors are unknown in the
homes Of the Berbers They seem to
possess none of that uncomfortable pas
sion that is so large feature in the
Arab character, and its place is taken
by affection and sincerity. Seldom mar
rying more than one wife, prostitution
is absolutely unknown, with the result
that the health Of the tribe is excellent,
and one never sees those horrid disfg-
urements of feature so common in other
portions Of Marocco. No doubt to a
great extent the moral character of the
Der bers is due to the fact that their
women are allowed entire liberty, do
not veil their faces and mix on almost
all occasions with the men.
One Of the first things that struck me
on my arrival at Dads was the good hu-
mored and innocent chaff that passed
between the men and the girls Of the
tribe, even in the streets Of the ksar,
and sti II more when they brought as our
food to the minzah on the housetop
The women are distinctly pretty, with
very fair skins and clear compilations;
but they detract much from their APP
pearance by the strange manner IN.

TennYson's Prediction.

1t has been learned that Tennyson
predicted the day Of his death. Just a
year before his death friends of the poet
were visiting Aldworth House. The late
Lord Selborne turned to Tennyson and
remarked, "You ought to be happy
here. " "Ah, sighed the poet, II have
only year to live!'' His hearers laugh
ed at the remark, but it was prophetic
assertion that was verified to the minute.

MAJESTY American.

Among my fellow passengers recently
on one Of these good but very slow
ships, the Irrawadie, was little curly
haired English boy who had evidently
been brought up in the strictest sect of
the aristocracy-an embryonic English
man Of the Englishmen.
"Do you speak French, little boy?'
said good lady to him, who was trying
to scrape acquaintance with the youth
full Briton.
"Oh, naow,'' said the little chap
do you speak Americana then ask
ed the lady.
"Oh, naow," he replied, with still
stronger emphasis.
''But wouldn't you like to learn
Americana" persisted the. lady.
"Oh, naow, thanks answered this
sturdy little patriot. 1T is very, very
nashty to speak American. Mort

Hon. william widgery Thomas.


At the regular monthly meeting of the
directors OF the Portland Fraternity, held
Decem Der 4th, the following minute was
adopted and ordered to be entered on the
society records:
In the death of the late William Wild
gerry Thomas. the Portland Fraternity
loses one OF Its warmest friends and
most useful members. For years an
efficient director, and also Vice Presi
dent of the Fraternity, he was liberal
contributor to IFS funds and favored us
with many wise counsels. This well
known interest in everything relating to
Portland aud affecting its prosperity,
inspired him with deep sconcern for the
rising generation, the young of our city,
to whom we must look for future i'm
provements, material and moral
If the wide outlook and generous sym
pathies of Mr.. Thomas were more COM
mon, present distress would be fully re-
lieved, and the loss favored Glasses would
cherish only kindly feelings of gratitude
and good will for the so-called "money
power so wisely improved and applied
by him to promote the highest good of
all classes and conditions of men.
Ills record is on high, in the Book of
Life, but his earthly epitaph Is inscribed
on the hearts OF the many whose bene-
factor he was while living. And "being
dead he yet spesketh. -

n cooking school should be a good thing
for Portland provided we can afford 1t.
But we are constantly suffering for ad-
ditionaI funds in various departments.
The salaries of teachers ought ito be in
creased and the sohoolhouses ought to be
washed at least once month. Perhaps
it would be better to postpons the estab-
lishn,ent of cooking school until such
things as these are better provided for.
Since the cooking school question has
been under discussion do not under
stand that powerful sentiment in Its
favor has been developed, and there Is
q strong feeling against it In some quar-
tsrs. If cooking school should be estan-
lished now, the grammar school girls
would be deprived of the instruction In
sewing which they arc at present getting
and am inclined to think that the sew
ing is as valuable to the pupils as the
cooking would be. / have been In favor
Of aiding ths ladies interested to try the
experiment of cooking school, but 1t is
getting SO late In the season that doubt
whether an adequate trial can now be
made, even if they should secure the
necessary funds. OF course the establish
ment of a cooking school by the ladies
means that the city will be asked to as
sumo the expense of continuing it.
DIR. Vosu said: 81 believe in the work
of the cooking school If 1t is public
demand. We cannot, however, afford to
expend any money for this purpose. as
the amount allowed US By the city gov
eminent for school expenses is hardly
enough to meet the regular demands. II
the women interested in the introduction
of this branch Of study into our school
work would be willing to carry on the
work as q private enterprise for few
months aad then If the city government
found themselves unable to continue the
work, IL the ladies then would be willing
to still carry ON the work should be in
favor of the movement. If the work were
to be tried for few months and then
discontinued it would be an unfortunate
move and little accomplished.
Mr.. MCGOWAN said: "No doubt that
the ladies Of the w. =. U. have weighed
the matter, and if they are Of the opinion
that the mothers of the girls attending
the public schools are unwilling or
incapable 60 teach their daughters how
to cook, that it would be work OF
philanthropy if others should give
them the information which hey should
receive at home. This brin gs us face to
f.co Nth tho nrohlem as tn whether
such q movement should be undertaken
by the city government or conducted by
some private society. Each year the
school appropriation IS overdrawn on ac-
count of the city council holding the
committee dawn to the lowest possible
figures. While the school board might
be asked for their appreciation it would
seem that the initiative step should be
taken by the city government.

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
The Troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. fred

Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick S. Greene end.
ed tLsir honeymoon in the municipal
court, Saturday morning, where Frede-
rick. a man whose bla OK hair has been
whitened by years, wes in the dock ON q
common drunkard, and the bride was
nresent as the chief witness against him.
Mrs. Greene is middle-aged woman,
and she told Judge Robinson that short
" after the elderly bridegroom had
promised to endow her with his earthly
nossessious and in addition to love, hon
or and protect her, he began drinking.
1t was on the sixth day of last October
that Grsene made the promises he so
soon broke.
nT knew before we were married, -
STATED Mrs, Greene, that Mr.. Greene
was in the habit of drinking once in a
while hut did not think that he drank
great deal. He promised that he
would quit the habit altogether If l
would marry him."
The wife then proceeded to relate that
her husband had proven decided un-
trustworthy.
"He commenced right off," she re-
marked, "and on the very night that we
were married be got drunk. He kept
it up too, and has been intoxicated al
most all of the time since. The first four
weeks he drank the hardest. He has
used hard words to me and has threat.
ened to strike mo. After his money had
all been spent, he took my watch, which
on four occasions he pawned. He also
pawned his own overcoat. On Wednes-
day night when he started to leave home
I asked him where he was going. He
swore, shook his fist at me and told M
that it was none of my business and that
hereafter / wouldn't ask him any ques-
lions when he was going out. Then
thought that as he WAS going to spend
all my money and make me support him
l would make complaint.
Upon the represen tations of, Albert Il.
Neal, Esq. who appeared as counsel fol
the bridegroom that Greene would dc
better if given chance, and upon the
assurance of MIR. Andrew j. Adams thai
he would give Greene work on his farm
in Falmouth, Judge Robinson suspend
ed the case until the second day of Jan.

pizanoe that he would be present on that
day and tell how he had kept his good
resolutions.

POLO.
The Augustus Defeated 3 to 2.

The Portland team won at polo from
Augusta Saturday evening in City hall
by a score of to q but 1t was only after
the hottest kind of work on the part Of
the home team and in the last two Pc
RODS of play the visitors made it so live
ly for the Portlands that 1t was toss
up who would win out. The attendance
last evening was the largest of the sea-
SOB, there being fully HOO psople present
including many ladies. The Augustus
didn't seem to get into the game during
the first period and their work was not
much better than it was the first time
they played here. But in the last two
periods they seemed to wake up and from
that time out the game was intensely
exciting. O'Melia, as might have been
expected, INDUCED in some of his dirty
work and was roundly called down for it
by the referee, Mr.. Leighton, and also
by the crowd. In fact while the Port
land audience was impartial in applaud
ing the good plays Of sither team 1t
showed marked disapproval OF ONE
las playing and if chat young man
again attempts to work any of his low
lived tricks on the floor of City hall the
audience will probably demand his dis
qualification for the game and the de-
mand will be JUST one.
Portland started out with snap and
vigor that was good for sore eyes to wit
ness. In just 48 seconds W. Dawson
Gagged the first ball aud gave Portland
her first point. Then came over eight
minutes of hot work, with the ball
around the Augustus goal greater part
of the time. W. Dawson by one of the
prettiest passes ever seen here sue
ceeded in making another goal and two
and half minutes later j.. Dawson got
the third. This ended the period and
also Portland's luck.
In the second period Augusta started
out to win and O'Melia Gagged the first
and only ball Of the period by less than
thrse minutes. Then came more hot
work on both sides. Haekett, Augusta q
goal tend, seemed regular stone
wall and made some Of the rrettiest and
1nOHU UlluCulU HbOpS hccA uSIo uuAu couSoh
for which he was roundly applauded.
The period ended without either side
scoring again.
Then came the most exciting period of
the game. For twelve minutes both
goal tenders had about all they could
attend to. A lucky drive by O'Melia
gave Augusta her second goal and
though the visitors made heroic efforts
to make another score, they were doomed
to disappointment The last eight min
utes of play it was regular heart dis
ease game, but the home teams goal
tend, Allen, saved the game for Portland
and deserves with the Dawsons all OF
the credit for the work.
The summary:
Porrland-J. Dawson, first rush; W..
Dawson, second rush; Foster, center;
Whipple, half back; Allen, goal.
