When "ThePhiladelphia Record" IN
dertook nineteen years ago 10 demon
tra.e that the best of morning papers
could be made and sold for one CT, pub
fishers were generally skeptical. But
the world of readers were not asleep.
Consequently "The Record" was not
long in reaching n commanding posi-
ton, and, improving on this, its circu-
lation and influence were finally rec
ognized among the foremost Ct Amer.
ica's great journals. Hence the com.
pliment of imitation which is now paid
TO il in every city of note from the At
lantic coast 10 the Mississippi Valley.
Every city worth mentioning now has
one or more good one cent dailies,
though So recently as only 10 years
ago Philadelphia and 1.-The Record"
stood alone in this respect.

At meeting held in the office

A GROUP OF HISTORICAL
TREES. DYING.

Only one OF the thirteen trees
planted on Washington Heights by
Alexander Hamilton more thin a
century ago to commemorate the
-thirteen original States of she
Union is in hourishing condition.
All of the others are either dead or
dying. The one that is robust
shows the marks of it's age but If
the deadwood it bears were cut
away and the trunks of its dead
companions renov ed, it might
continue to stand for many years
more, silent monument. to that
remarkable man whose brilliancy
as statesman and Judgment as a
tinancler have been seldom equalled
in the countrys history.
The trees were set out iT; o
small plot OF ground about 28 feet
square. It is probable that
Hamilton intended to replant
them In larger soace when they
had grown larger. But as he fell
mortally wounded III his duel with
Aaron Rurr at Waeha ken the
trees were allowed to grow just as
Hamilton had left them. Their
crowded condition may have added
greatly to their death.
Nine of the thirteen trees are
dead. The tenth has but two
small green shoots to show that it
still retains spark of lifc.-New

FEEDING THE LONDON zoo.

The London Zoo is perhaps the
m ost popular scientific institution
in Europe, and it's expenses are
heavy. A recent report says that
the deat.. rate OF its denizens is
high, about $40 per 1000. and about
1900 arimals are added every year,
Of which one sixth are purchased.
The provision bill comes to over
$4,000 year which means that it
costs only little more than a pen
ny day per capita to feed $500
animals.
The flesh eating animals are not
supplied with prime eating joints
Of beef at this rate. Their fare is
horscfesh aud goatfash. Hay,
clover, bran, oats, maise, wheat
and barley for grass and grain eat
ers form large item, 244 bushels
of canary, hemp aud millet seed
are demanded by the birds The
tish eaters consume seventeen tons
of fish annually. There are some
odd items in the commissarlat. One
can understand the fifteen tons Of
biscuits, the four tons of rice, aud
the three tons Of potatoes, hut the
34OO tons of watercrcss, the 1900
tons of shrimp and the 1900 fowls
heads are among the unexpected
Carrots and green's are popular.
The latter includes 500 dozen of
cabbages. And there are the. epi :
cnres who demand $4,000 dozen
eggs. The nuts dispensed by v's-
itors are far from supplying the
needs of the animals, $4,000 lbs of
monkey nuts figure in the consump
ton. Dates, grapes and raisins
have place in the menu. Oran-
ges are eaten to the tune of 1000,
to- say nothing of the. 1000 ba-
nanas. The children's buns are
cloying, but they are supplemented
officially by $500 quarter loaves
and 2lO quarts of milk. There is

It is whispered n Nogales tina

It is whispered n Nogales that
the Yaqui uprising was merely a
struggle of the Indians to get what
they believed belonged TO them.
Every one of the Yaquis killed, it
is said, had been common laborers
on the Mexican custom house, and
had never been paid for their work.
1t is now openly asserted that the
Americans who took part in the
fight, usiug Uncle Sans arms and
ammunition, meddled in something
that didn't concern them. 1t is
also told that two young Americans
who had gone across the line at the
first firing were disarmcd and or
aered to return, with the admoni-
tion to keep out of the fight, as 1t
was none of their affair. Notwith-
standing this friendly warning they
procured other guns and emptied
them with effect. Will our Nogales

WOMEN HATERS ALL.

Henry Cavendish, the famous
| chemist, had such an abhorenco Of
female society that, from the pre-
| cautions he took to avoid personal
| contact with any member of the
sex, he earned for himself the
sobriquet of the woman -hater."
1t is said that he used to carry on
communications with his hous.,-
keeper respecting the daily wants
entirely by correspondence, aud a
rigid rule was enacted in his estab
lishment that on no pretense what
ever might &c female venture into
his presence.
Such woman-haters ara by no
means rare. A gehtlmen died re-

him.
When travelling on long journeys
he would engage an entire COM
partment in order to avoid the
risk of having a wouln in the car
riage. The mans hatred OF the
sex was indeed carried SO far that
in his mortal sickness he gave
orders for the purchase of six feet
of ground on either side of his
grave in order that in death fe-
male body should rot come within
that distance of his.
There is a man now living in
the west end of London, a gentle
man who has a similarly pro
nounced ha1red Of tho gent]er sex.
Being wealthy, he keeps up large
staff Of servants, but no fem tie is
to be found among them. Men
and boys have to do all the do

even to the scrubbing of floors and
making of beds. Women. evon the
relatives of the servants, are

any manial transgressing the rule

An opulent gentleman in the
north of England, who had for
years shut himself out from female
society, died not long since, leaving
will, the terms of which dis-
played in unmistakable manner his
hatred of womankind. Ignoring
the females entirely, all his male
relatives were provided with
legacies, but on this condition
namely, that the single ones were
to forfeit their inheritance the
moment they were married, and
the married ones were not to come
into theirs while their wives were
living.-New York Recorder.

P. Z. Barnum, before the rail

night the show did not reach town

A man found himself seated he.

hind a hat of such large proper :
tions that he could scarcely see the
stage at all. After vainly .endeav-
oring to catch a glimpse of the

only thing to do was to gtt the
woman to remove her hat "Mad
am, he said in the politest tenes,

off your hat9 1t prevents me from
seeing the performance" "No, |
will not was the retort from the
woman with the high hat. The
maa accepted the rebuff very calm
ly, and he made a vain effort to
see the stage for awhile longer.
Finally he determined to try it
again. MADAM he said, 81

to see the stage. Will you obIige
me by taking it off," II have paid
for my seat, and intend 10 wear

he received. A happy thought came
to tile man. He reached for his
silk hat and put it on his head.
immediately there was cry OF
several voices from behind him:
Take off that hat Take off that
hat o. The man took his hat off,
out the woman, not knowing what
he had done, of course thought the
remarks were intended for her.
She was mad, thoroughly mad, and
gathering herself together, she left
her seat and the theatef, and
smile of satisfaction swept over the
mans face. Revenge was sweet.
