GANG IS D0WHED
THE REFORM TICKET GENERALLY
SUCCESSFUL IN THE CHICAGO
ELECTION.
SOME FEW STARS ESCAPED.
PERFORMERS DID NOT REACH ALI,
THE MEN THEY WE'RE
AFTER.
In Two Wards of the City Fights
Were the Regular Order of the
Day.

CHICAGO, April 7.-Out of thirty-five alder
men, the Republicans today elected twenty
the Democrats Is, and two Independents were
chtsen.- There are "a wards in the city, but
two aldermen were chosen in the Tenth. there
being a vacancy in that ward. The prin-
cipal feature of the election was the effort of
the reform element to down a number of the
gang aldermen. The reformers were successful
with majority of the men they were after,
but they failed to secure the three or four
bright particular stars they desired. Party
lines were not strong in number of the
wards and the reform movement had much
weight.
The fight on the town officers was in all of
the towns straight party issue, and the Re-
pntlicans were uniformly successful, carrying
all the town Offices by majorities ranging
from 1900 to 1000. The election was very
quiet save in the First and Nineteenth wards
where there were number of fights, and sew
erai shooting ARRAYS. Nobody however, was
seriously injured. Not over twenty arrests
were made during the day. The returns from
the aldermanic contests show that the Repub-
Hcans have the total vote carried the city
by majority Of about 20, 600.

SPORT FOR DARING MEN.
Shark Hunting Off Cuba as Describ-

killing of roaring wounded tiger, the charge

which even wounded bull moose are no longer
charming.
According to a Cuban now in BROOKLYN.
shark fishing is sport to be dreamed about
The Cuban shark fishermen take chunks Of
beef and throw them overheard out beyond
the reefs, where the dorsal fins Of sharks are
to be seen cutting the water with a vicious
swish, like the plunge of modern rifle bullet
into stream. Instantly there is rush
mt to make ordinarily brave men blanch, for
the eagerness of the sharks to rend the bloody
meat is something to think twice about Now
Is the time for the sportsmen to do as the
cuban fisherman does. Stripping off his light
clothes, grasping long, keen knife, he leaps
among the fish, and thrusts the knife to the
nearest sharks heart. quick rench opens
wound that spurts blood and then the snort
fairly begins. 1t is death to man who then
loses his nerve. There is hope for the buck

Ihe cuban expert watches his chances
ana as the sharks, attracted by the blood,
come to tear their mate to pieces he strikes
them one by one, and soon the water is filed
red with blood. When shark comes for him
no glides to one side, and, as the shark rushes
past on its side, he strikes it dead. Bags Of
twenty-five or thirty man-eating sharks NAV

tooth being cut into minute teeth. The sharks

as is generally supposed. Indians make long
strings out of these teeth for beads that the
squaws may think much of the hunters, and

EAGLE RAISES CHICKENS.
One of Her Brood Is Now Master of
the ROost.

New York Sun.
w. NJ. Wallis, of Reading, England. told
before the British Ornithologists' club at a
recent meeting that golden eagle a captive
for thirty years, had been laying eggs during
fifteen years., at first only one egg year,
then two. In 1894 and 1895 she had laid
three eggs each year. Last year Mr.. Wallis
took away the eagles eggs and substituted
for them number of common chickens eggs.
The eagle broke all but four Of these, then
began to incubate the four, and eventually
they Matched. There were two puIlets and
two ROSTERS in tie brood. The youngsters
were brought up in the ordinary way The
eagle often tore rats into shreds and fed
the chicks as if they were of its own kind.
At night these chickens flew up and roasted
beside the old eagle. One of the roosters got
killed, and now the other one is master of
that cage, frequently pummeling its foster
mother into submission in a most shameful
manner"
This paper of Mr. Wallis will probably re-
suit in extended experiments in the eyries and
nests Of hawks in their native state It

big Spanish rooster drop into his barnyard

IRVING ON MACBETH.
His Analysis of His Character.

Sir Henry Irving closed an address to the
students Of Chicago university on Shakespeare
with this remarkable analysis of the character
of Macbeth, as drawn by the master of dra-
matte art. He said that Macbeth had "a
poetic mind, on which the presages and sug-
gestions of supernatural things could work.
nature sensitive to intellectual emotion so
that one can imagine him even in his contem-
plation of coming crimes to weep for the pain
Of the destined victim; self-torturing, self
examining, playing with conscience so that
action and reaction of poetic thought might
send emotional waves through the brain while
the resolution was as grimly fixed as steel
and the heart as cold as ice; poet supreme in
the power of words, with vivid imagination
and quick sympathy of intellect; villain cold
blooded, selfish, remorseless, with true viii
lains nerve and calousness when braced to
evil work, and the physical heroism of those
who are born to kill; a moral nature with only
sufficient weakness to quake momentarily be-
fore superstitious terrors; man of sentiment
and not of feeling. Such was the mighty dra-
matte character which Shakespeare gave to
the world in Macbeth"
