MIR. WHITNEY's PARK AND IT'S AMI
MAILS,

The big game that William G. Whit
ney has brought on from the Rocky
mountains to occupy his 5000 acres on
October mountain, about four miles from
LenOx Massachusetts,, is creating great
interest among the New York people
who have summer places in LenOx and
vicinity. He has secured some Of the
largest buffaloes in this country and has
considerable other wild game from the
Rocky mountains, the only specimens
which have ever been brought to the
East, except a few which the late Austin
COrbin had up in New Hampshire. They
are the finest specimens that could be
secured in Montana, Wyoming and along
the range of the Rocky mountains in
that region.
His herd of buffaloes numbers thir-
teen, while his elk and deer are twice
that number. The buffaloes are of spe-
cial interest because they have become
so rare in this country. Beginning with
the great bull buffalo Mckinley, which
stands at the head Of the herd, weighing
$500 pounds, down to others weighing
1000 pounds, they are the rarest speci-
mems in America. The great bull Nc
Kinley and the entire herd were brought
East with the greatest difficulty. They
came in two freight palace cars, in charge
of the Adams brothers, who were given
the order by Mr.. Whitney over year
ago. Some Of the buffaloes they raised
themselves. The chief Of the herd, Nc
Kinley, is years old, and is the Ggliest
animal that has ever been brought East.
He is the chief figure In the buffalo pic
ture and he doesn't allow any biped to
come into the inclosure without a pro-
test. 1t was with great difficulty that
he was taken out of the car, which he
nearly tore to pieces, and was taken up
on October mountain from the LenOx
station in an immense crate, drawn by
four horses. He excited the greatest In
terest all the way, from the time he was
loaded into the car until he got to his
destination.
The buffaloes are confined in about 800
acres Of land surrounded by a fence
which is nine feet eight inches high,
made of steel wire Mckinley has tried
to get through it several times, but he
found in locking horns with it that it has
beaten him every time. 1t has been
tested by a twenty-five horse power en-
gine, which has been rushed against it
with all its force. Since Mckinley has
found that he cannot get through the
fence he has become dOcile, and is quite
content to stay in the inclosure, which
has the best grass that can be procured
for herd Of buffalOes.
The other buffaloes are becoming used
to this region. There is another bull
which weighs only 100 pounds less than
Mckinley, but is not as vicious. The
whole buffalo herd have wandered about
the inclosure with the greatest curiosity.
They look about for places where they
can escape, but are becoming cOntented,
as the gamekeeper treats them well.
They are, however, wild, and il is dan
gerous to venture near them, and so
unsafe for any one to go inside the in
closure that 1t was with the greatest diff
flculty that pictures could be taken OF
them. MIR. Whitney came up soon after

in Greenwood cemetery. Some time
later Mrs. johnson remarked. When
the son grew to manhood he had occa-
sion to go east on business and was re-
quested by his mother to visit the
grave of his father, and here he learned
that his father was not dead, but all
efforts to ascertain his whereabouts
proved unavailing.
After returning to California he con-
tinued his investigation. Now, after
search lasting ten years, he has, he
says, located his missing parent at
Vineland, N. j., where he has married
again and been successful in business.
The young man exhausted his re-
sources in New York city, and the
sanitary officer of that city supplied
him with transportation to Vineland.

BATTLE WITH AN EAGLE.
Desperate Hand to Hand Struggle
Occurs Near ST. Joseph, Mo.
The Big Bird Attacks = Horse and in De-
Tending the Animal Its Owner Is Set
Upon and Severely injured Be-
fore the Eagle Is Killed.

Carl Holzhauzer, farmer living near
Lake Contrary, about five miles south
of st. Joseph, Mo, has had a remark
able fight with an eagle while out hunt
ing. He had left his horse tied to a tree
and gone to see if he could find any RAD
bits, when he heard a commotion in
the direction in which he had left the
animal. Setting down his gun, he
went back to see what had happened,
when, greatly to his surprise, he saw q
big eagle seated on the back of the
horse just behind the saddle. He hur-
ried closer and found that the talons of
the great bird were fastened in the flesh
such Roadway in torturing the horse
that Farmer HolzhauZer thought best
not to take time to return for the gun.
Consequently he entered into open bat
tie with the bird. The horse was fairly
wild, and jumped about in a ferocious
manner, meanwhile emitting sounds
of the most dismal kind.
The appearance of the farmer was the
signal for renewed activity on the part
of the eagle, and he pulled his talons
out of the horses flesh and swooped
down on Holzhauzer, who had previ-
ously picked up q heavy club and with
it he defended himself. His first blow
stunned the eagle for a moment, but
the great bird made another pass at the
terrified farmer and scratched a
Y,innn 90 Zach 49, Iar -
of his left shoulder. Then the bird bur-
led its talons in Holzhauzer's right
hand, lacerating it in a frightful man
ner. Nerved to desperation the farmer
made a superhuman charge with his
club and the bird fell to the ground un-
able to rise. Holzhauzer then hastily
reached his gun and put the bird to
death in short order.
The fight lasted only few minutes,
but Farmer Holzhauzer declared that
it seemed hours to him. He came to the
city as soon as he recovered from the
excitement, and the story of his strug-
gle, related by him at the central police
station, attracted much attention.
Holzhauzer brought the eagle and the
horse to town with him and exhibited
them as evidence of the fight. The
eagle measured eight feet from tip 10
tip and its talons were of unusual size.
The back of the horse shows where the
talons were fastened deep into the flesh
and there is a cash on the animals hin
seven or eight inches long. The wound
is probably 11a inches deep where the
eagles beak first struck the horse.

Mexican Government Takes Action Look
ing to Increasing the Commerce.
The Mexican government, recogniz-
ing the increased importance of its
coast commerce, is determined to i'm
prove the harbors. Arrangements have
been made to raise a considerable sum
for this important work, in addition to
the S5,00O,O0O for the improvement of
Coatzacoalcos and Salina Cruz, the east
ern and western terminus of the Te-
hauntepec road.
The move to improvement of the har-
Dor is also caused, il is said, by the
rapidity of railroad building toward the
Mexican Pacific coast, which will open
up fertile country and develop a large
commerce through the ports below
MaZatlane.
In accordance with the governments
plan, an eminent engineer, Arthur f.
Wrotnowsli, has been sent to the west
ern coast to inspect all of the harbors
and determine which shall be improved
and TO what extent. Wrotnowsld has
been in Mexico about 80 years, much of
the time in the employ of the govern
ment on large works,

Singular History of a Young Man Who Is
About to End Long Search.
A Washington Cd. c. special says:
Edward johnson left here the other
afternoon for Vineland, N. ]. He ex-
poets to meet there father whom he
has never seen, and who is ignorant of
his existence, in the person of Capt,
Edmond johnson.
Here is the story as told by young
johnson:
Early in the sixties Edmond johnson.
who was of good family connections,
married young woman occupying a
position regarded as below his own. At
the outbreak of the war he entered
the service of the union army. During
the continuance of hostilities he con-
sidered it eXpedient that his wife
should be sent out of the way of pos
sible harm. So he supplied her with a
sum of money sufficient to maintain
her for considerable period, furnished
her a passport obtained from the
military authorities and sent her TO
California. The son who now claims
Capt. johnson as his father was born
in California shortly after the arrival
. OF his mother. She never received any
letters from her husband, but finally
one which she directed to his relatives
brought the response that he had been
killed IN battle. and that his BODY was

The Peru brings advices TO San Fran
cisco of the formation of another steam
ship company by japanese merchants
at Yokohama who will build faststeam-
ers to ply between oriental ports, the
Hawaiian islands and San Francisco.
Application was made on the day pre-
vious to the sailing of the Peru to the
minister of communications for char
ter for the company. The promoters
and hackers of the scheme mentioned
in the application are T. Ito, d. Inouye,
S. Machida and Miyata, all well-known

The capital of the company will be
100000 yen. The plan is to establish
two lines of fast freight and passenger
steamers, one between Hong Kong and
San Francisco direct and the other be-
tween Yokohama and San Francisco,
via Honolulu and Vancouver.

OF the dawn rumbles ana reverpera-
tons that equaled the finest nasal al
legrettos ever executed by a fat police
man in quiet hallway.
A Pullman sleeper was close at hand,
and the weird noises were traced to this
source. Waterman Donlan found the
door open and pursued his investiga-
tions still further. In the car were
three tramps fast asleep, and snoring
in tuneful harmony. Three berths had
been let down, and each weary knight
of the road was occupying a two-dollar
bed with all the eclat of penniless au-
dacity.
The Waterman tiptoed out of the car.
There being three tramps-al of them
large, rude men, with hands like ossi-
fled hams, he did not like to disturb
them, remembering that it is never well
to rouse anyone suddenly from deep
slumber. So the considerate Donlan
called up the Maxwell street police sta
ton and asked advice. Several officers,
totally destitute of all sentiment about
waking people out of their beauty
sleep, descended upon the Pullman and
unceremoniously yanked the slumber-
ing Migrants from the arms of Nor
pheus clean into the police station.
They gave their names as Daniel Car
ney, John Breen and Joseph Burke.
Each one was willing to sign written
apology to Mr.. Pullman or to plead
guilty to anything from mayhem to
manslaughter. at the discretion of the
court.
The Pullman sleeper has been sent
to the repair shops for thorough fumi-
CATION.

The advent of the holidays has

Where once the downy lumber pile, or
even the seclusion of a luxurious box

ALL WANTED TO BE BRIDES.
Dismal Failure of Plan to Trap an
Eligible Young Man.

A good-looking young bachelor of
Hebron, Wis, being questioned by the
nine young women of a club regarding
his single state, replied that he would
cheerfully marry any one of their num-
Der whom they might secretly elect
by ballot.
The young women prepared their bal
lots in disguised writing. When read
the vote resulted in one ballot for each
of the nine young women members.
This resulted in the breaking up of
the club and engendered strong per-
sonal feeling among the girls.
The young man remains unmarried.

TO Form q New ReliRiou-The Growth or
Religious Liberalism Through the Orient.
TACOMA. Wash, July ll.-The savants OF
Toxic and other Japanese cities are studying
religion Just now from a very practical point Of
view. For months past the Japan Times and
other leading newspapers have devoted much
space to discussing religious topics in a very
liberal spirit and In the hope OF solving the
problem now much discussed among Japanese
scholars; that is why tho Occident has gone 20
far ahead of the Orient in civilization.
Gradually they are reaching the conclusion
that the strict morality inforcod by Christianity
has had much to do with 1t, and a large body Of
advanced thinkers at Toxic are seriously con.
sidering the idea OF originating a new religion.
It 10 proposed to do this by dissectinR the
Christian and Buddhist religions and the cuit Of
Confucianism and uniting the best principles
and doctrines OF each into a new system.

York banking firm Of W. n. Coler & Co. IA here

made a special investigation of religious Affairs.
His conclusion 10 that the Christian missionares
have contributed largely to the wave Of liberal.
ism now sweeping through the Orient among
the advanced classes. Mr.. Golfer says:
Tho net result OF missionary work In the
Orient has been to detach those on whom an
impression is made. particularly in the higher
classes, from the Buddhist religion. and make
them FREQ thinkers and Investigators. This has
contributed to tho spirit of religious invest.
