BULL TERRIER KILLS WILDCAT.
Exciting Combat Pulled OF for Bene-
ut of a Florida Cuban Colony,

ut of a Florida Cuban Colony.
Ybor city, the Cuban suburb of Tam
pa, Fla, was the scene of great excite
ment over a fight between Tip, the big
white bull terrier of that place and
wildcat just caught. 1t came off in
Sportsmen's park and was attended by
hundreds, much money changing hands
on the result The cat had been kept
from food for two days and was frantic
with rage. He was tied with 2O-foot
rope to a stake, giving him ample room
to fight in. AS soon as the bulldog was
brought near he struggled to get clear.
The dog finally burst away and the
next moment had sprung at the spit
ting cat. The feline monster lodged
cleverly and sprang out of reach, the
dog falling over and over in his frantic
efforts to stop. The cat sprang at Tip
before he got fairly on his legs, alight-
ing on his back. It buried its teeth in
his shoulder and its sharp, curved claw
brought the blood at every dig, Tip
yelled with pain, but rolling over and
over he managed to dislodge the cat.
and Selling its foreleg, drew it from his
back. Tip chewed on the cats legs,
while the splitting feline cut the dogs
hide till the blood came in streams.
Finally the dog broke loose for mo-
ment, and the cat sprang to the end
of its rope.
Tip was a CORY sight, one eye gone,
his ears cut short and ragged, his head
and body streaming with blood. See
ing his antagonist the plucky bull
went in with a rush. The cat made
leap, but missed and fell almost in
front of the dog. There was scuffle
and tumble, the dog seizing the cats
throat in a death grip. The cat again
escaped and Tip sprang. after it. For
81 minutes the fight continued. Tip
finally seized the cat by the throat and
literally squeezed it to death, shaking

TOMBS PRISON TO FALL.
Historic Structure in New York to BE
Torn Down.

Torn Down.
The work of tearing down the famous
old Tombs prison will begin shortly.
The arrangements for tearing down
the Center street front of the Tombs
and beginning work on the new prison
building have been completed by Paul
E. O'Briep, who has the work in charge,
and the work of demolition will be
begun at once. Only that part of the
Tombs facing on Center street will be
torn down, and upon this site an en-
tirely new building will be erected, ex-
tending across the block on Center
street, a distance of 200 feet, and back
into the block so feet at cost of
$5,471 900. Back of that part of the
prison which faces on Center street is
the prison yard, inclosed by a wall
which encircles the block. In the cen.
ter of the rectangular yard is built the
square prison proper, in which the
prisoners are held. 1t is in the area
which lies between the prison proper
and the wall that the temporary quar-.
tiers have been erected. Aside from the
new building which will be erected, two
stories will be added to the present
prison proper. To many New Workers
the destruction of the historic old
structure is an act little short of van.

VALUABLE LECTURE COURSES.
Important Advance Step Taken by
Columbian College.

Important Advance Step Taken by
Columbian College.
President Whitman, of the Columbian
university, announces that an impor-
tant step in advance has just been taken
by that institution in the establishment
of courses in politics and sociology, to
be given in the law school by DR.. Lee
Davis Lodge, who is the professor of
political science and international law
in the university. The new course o.
lectures will be devoted to ethnology,
anthropology, the theory of the state,
comparative politics and sociology.
The aim will be to supply the connec-
tive tissue, the adjacent anatomy, of
law studied as an organic growth. The
work will move along the lines laid
down by such masters as Freeman,
Maine, Pollock and Maitland. These
lecture courses by DR.. Lodge will form
the Introductory work of the universe.

prudence.

quently this is the case. A woman can
not be happy, helpful arniable wife who
suffers from weakness. and disease at the
very mainsprings of her nature. Pity
may grow up to take its place, but love
itself seldom survives where this is the
case. If woman will, she may always
hold her place in mans mind and
heart. If she will take the right care of
herself in womanly way she will never
lose her rightful inheritance, hus-
bands love.
