PRESENT FOR EMPEROR WILLIAM
Largest Elk Horns in World Sent Him
from This Country.

Largest Elk Horns in World Sent Him
from This Country.
Emperor William Of Germany is soon
to receive the largest pair of elk horns
In the world, as a gift from Hans
Leiden, the German consul of the Meth
erlands and the director of the ZOO
logical garden OF Cologne. They
have been prepared and mounted by
Prot. G MS Stainsky of Colorado Springs,
COL, and are now on their way to Ber-
lin, where they will be formally pre-
sented to the emperor, to be placed by
him in his hunting room or celebra-
ton hall.
These monster antlers measure IL
feet from tip of beam to tip of beam
across the skull, and have a spread OF
81 inches. They have a beam length
of 81 and 67H inches respectively. and
the longest prongs are from % to 1914
inches in length. There are IL prongs
in all, and, including the beams, they
have a total length of nearly 30 feet.
The largest elk horns known to ex-
jst prior to the discovery of these are
in the English museum in London.
The elk on which the horns grew that
are to be presented to Emperor Will
liam was killed in the White river coun.
try in western Colorado, by an old
French hunter named Monjean.

BURGLARS USE ELECTRICITY.
Ingenious Scheme to Rob a Bank at
Chagrin Falls Accidentally Fails.

Ingenious Scheme to Rob a Bank at
Chagrtn Falls Accidentally Fails.
Burglars resorted to a novel scheme
to open a bank safe at Chagrin Falls,
ear Cleveland, O., the other night.
They entered the bank of Rogers &
Son some time early in the evening.
They had previously attached a wire
to the trolley line of the electric rail-
way. This wire was run through an
alley, over a transom and to the safe.
Another attached to the rail of the
street car track was brought into the
bank. At the ends of these wires were
carbon points. With these carbons an
attempt was made with the arc light
thus formed to melt the knob of the
combination. The experiment worked
all right and the knob had been nearly
melted away when the current was shut
off, shortly after midnight. The bur-
glars then gave up the task. The job
was planned scientifically. The thieves
had even gone to the trouble of placing
a Little pile of sand under the knob
for the molten metal to fail on, and'thus
avoid setting fire to the floor. There is
no clew to the burglars.

TO RAISE CATS FOR FUR,
Company Said to Be Organized with
10000 Capital.

Company said to Be Organized with
$4,000 Capital.
A number of enterprising men and
women have evolved a scheme for utiliz-
ing the despised cat and have organ
lied a stock company with a capital of
$4,000, with which they propose to
START u cat farm and raise cat skins for
the market. Thomas McEntree, of La
con, ILL.,, is the head of the enterprise
and negotiations r pending for a
tract of 100 acres for the farm. 1t is
proposed to raise rats as we'll as cats
and to feed the two animals on each
other-the cats on rats, and subsequent
ly the rats on cats, after the latter have
served their purpose and lost their
skins. Mr.. McEntree declares the plan
to be perfectly practical and says:
1T is well known hat cat furs go
much into the making of leather goods
nowadays. There is Il ~cat-raising in
dustry in California, and it is coming
money. We propose to start with 100
cats, maybe more. These cats will: be
the finest bred Maltese and black spe-
cies. With 100 to start we could have
close to 100000 cats in four years
time. The furs sell at ten to fifteen
cents. Also, in the thousands of cats
raised, there are some which will com
mand fancy prices as family pets"

A F~ISH-SHAPED @ A
Graft Which Is Expected to Sail
Fifty Miles an Hour.
Not an Angle in Her Exterior Linen
The Pins Faith In .
New Propeller He Has
Perfected.

A craft which her designer confident
ly believes will skim the sea at a speed
of so miles al hour, has just been
launched in New York city.
The boat is the invention of Capt.
Carl J.. H. Flindt, who hogan the actual
work of construction last Christmas.
Great secrecy was observed in build
ing the boat. There is not an angle
in her exterior lines. Steering from
the bow, which looks like a t%gurehead,
deck and keel bend gradually to the
middle of the boat, then taper to the
overhanging stern. A pilothouse rises
like a dorsal fin from the deck, while
a row of dead lights limiting at fishes
scales, circles the hull. Looking at the
boat, bow on, the suggestion Of a fish
is as pronounced as from a side view,
for there seems to be no beam. A foot
rail running around the deck, and pro-
tected by an iron hand-rail, is the only
| point of the structure out of keeping
| with the idea of a submarine crea-
ture. <
Capt. Flindt bases his greatest hope
for phenomenal speed ON the propeller,
which he holds is the greatest novelty
about the boat. There have been other
f~ish-shaped boats, he admits, but no
| propeller like this.
She will have her engines in three
weeks, then in a week will come on her
trial trip.
Capt. Flindt, a sailor for 81 years,
has been working out the idea OF the
tooat for IA years. He made so models
of propellers before he perfected the
device with which this boat is fitted.
! 1t consists of two steel plates, each
with two tianges, and is expected to
make 800 revolutions a minute under
. 5O-horse power engine.
The craft is built Of oak and steel
ribs. and is CT feet long, 6A feet beam,
and IL feet from the lowest point OF
keel to the highest point of deck. This
boat will draw six feet of water. She
will have two staterooms, each II feet
long and running the width of the ship
a saloon 43 feet long. a machine room
and kitchen, and can accommodate 81
men.

NUPTIALS ON A YACHT.
Romantic Wedding Which Took
Place OF Shores of Connection t.
Daughter of Commodore Smith and
HOracc S. Cummings Made Man
and Wife on Bosom Of
Cid Ocean.

Romance with a pleasant SAVIOR of the
sea attended the wedding of Miss Helen
Woodruff Smith, Of Stamford, Conn,
Cummings.
A lover Of the ocean from childhood,
and a clever yachtsWoman, Miss Smith
decided to have the marriage ceremony
performed far from the noise Of the
town, on the after-deck of the hand
some schooner yacht Viking.
The Viking belongs to Commodore
James D. Smith, of Stamford, the brides
father.
When Miss Smith, who is Commodore
Smiths only daughter, told her plan
to her father. a short time ago, he was
delighted, and promised to make his
yacht as attractive a place for a we'd
ding as any house could be. The Vik-
ing sailed for Larchmont and anchored
in the sound about half a mile from
shore. And there, where no sounds
save those of the water tapping gently
against the sides of the vessel inter
rupted the plighting of the troth, the
ceremony was performed.
Miss Smith did not care for an osten-
tatious wedding, and those who were
privileged to witness the ceremony
aboard ship were hardly more than a
dozen outside of the yachts crew.
The bride and her party started from
Commodore Smiths handsome country
place, Linden Lodge, in Stamford, and
went by private car to Larchmont.
There the yachts gig met them and
took them aboard. Soon after this the
ceremony was performed on the after
deck by Rev. r. P. II. Vail, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Stamford.
After the words had been spoken
that made Mr.. Cummings and Miss
Smith mar and wife an elaborate ban
quet was served in the saloon.
While the guests were enjoying the
wedding breakfast under the decks
Monroe L. Briggs, who has been the
commodore's captain for "a years, sent
the crew aloft to spread the sail. The
helm was set, and, as the wind filled out
the graceful sails, the vessel moved up
the sound toward Stamford.
If the ceremony on the yacht was
quiet the reception at the house was
in brilliant contrast to it. When the
Viking reached Stamford, about one
o'clock in the afternoon. the bride and
bridegroom, with the party, were
driven to Linden Lodge. This large
and handsome house was opened soon
after for 1900 invited guests.
