THE ANIMAL WORLD.
POlly's Visit 10 the Statue of Lib
erty Bees in Patte.

When Lightkeeper Cody entered the
Statue Of Liberty to oxtinguish the torcn
on Monday morning he was startled by
noise Away ap insho hollow metallic
top Of Liberty EnliRhtening the World,
was something screaming, and croaklng,
and thrgshing about
Cody first thought some drunken strag-
gler who had visited the statue the pre-
vious day had fallen asleep ana remained
all night. Inc uncertain morning light
threw weird shadows into the statue
. These, with the unearthly confusion,
completely unneryed Cody and he hurried
down TO summon help.
Sergeant Foley ana two pryates Of the
Thirteenth United States infantry do po-
lice duty on Liberty Island. Tho light
keeper aroused the soldiers; with these,
besides Sergeant foleys wife and child
dren and Watchman Mclaughlin, at his
heels, he re-entered the big statue.
The Falstai1ian bodyguard were armed
with clubs canes ana sabres. After the
army had cimbed part way up toward
the torch, listening 10 the horrible Clatter,
they saw u biR yellow, green ana red
parrot, with ruflled plumage, perChed OH
brace.
The bird was soliloQuizing IN some
strange tongue, and appeared to be in
dulging in the most fiery inyectiye and
luriu profanity. Its top knot was awry
and it, tones indicated extreme anger
Wnen Cody and his stan attempted To
capture the intruder the parrot kept hoI-
ping higher and higher till it finally
perched in one of Miss Liberty's eyes
The bird could not be corralled, and il
spent most OF the day in the head fuss
ing and tuning and frightening visitors
IL had evidently escaped from some
south American ship. and was angry
with itself for having so foOisbiy deserted
a comfortable nome in IA snug forecastie
for a great empty place, with nothing To
eat. Just before the storm OF Monday af-
ternoon the parrot escaped through win
dow in the diadem and flew 70 the
ground. 1t began tour of the island in
search of food. "Pittsburg Jim" Reithel,
the Liborty Island ticket agent, tried TO
catch the parrot, but 1t was wise fowl.
It hoped on the limb of tree, ana
when Jim began climbing the branches
the parrot went higher, until it was hope
lcsSly out of reach.
The storm broke few minutes after
ward, and no one mas seen the parrot

COW CHASES A TROLLEY CAR.

mooley COW with a remarkably perverse
nature caused some amusement on Saturday
afternoon by persisting in walking along the
streets between the rails Of the street car
line on East Second street, in spite OF the
combined efforts of the boy driving her
and the street car employees to prevent. The
car was stopped several times tc avoid strik-
ing the beast. but as often as she was driven
from the tracks she would return. The mo-
torman finally ran the car slowly against
the animal and showed her from the tracks.
As soon as the COW recovered from her as
tonishment she gave below of rage and
chased the car for nearly block. and 1t was
only when she had been headed of by sumo
boys and chased up side street that she
gave up the chase.-oil City Derrick.
