Llttle Trnnlo at New orlean..

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 14.-Every
town of importance is quarantined
against New Orleans.
When people summed up matters and
found that there were only seven inn
ported cases and that they had been
warned as to six of them, they decided
to wait until the situation should be-
come more aggravated before making
a break for other parts.
There was therefore no heavy out
going travel and very little incoming.
The natives have. contrary to expec-
tations, not become frightened over the
existence of yellow fever. and whatever
depression exists is due TO the fact that
business. which was 30 per cent above
the usual, has fallen off.

A VENEZUELAN JAeuAR.
IL Attacks Il Hunter and Both Are
Shot to Death.


There is no recognized way of hunt
ing tigers with guns. Sometimes the
hunters go out on horseback, particu-
larly in the cattle districts of the Ori-
noco llanos and the valley of the Anna
zon. with dogs and Indian servants TO
drive up the game. Oftener the hunter
lies in wait for the tiger TO approach
n tethered calf
When the several hunters with guns
go out together there is serious peril,
as an incident have in mind will show.
A Venezuelan man of affairs, whom 1
know well, went to visit friend on a
coffee plantation, and incidentally to
try a new rifle. The host called in two
neighbors. and arranged a hunt. When
the hunting party left in the morning
the hosts two young sons remained at
home with three servants. Late in the
afternoon, when the party returned,
neither boys nor servants were to be
seen. AS the hunters roamed about the
plantation. looking for the boys, they
heard a crying in the top of a slender
tree. The boys were in the tree, white
with terror.
What is the matter?" called the IA
ther. "Why are you in the tree?"
THE tigerl the tigerl" shieked the
boys. "A big female tiger is ct the
bottom of the tree" The tiger had
been unable to climb so slender a tree.
The father pushed his way quickly
through the bushes TO shoot the tiger
before it should escape. His friends
followed slowly. In 0 few moments a
shot was heard, and then a wild
scream. The hunters rushed forward.
Their friend and big Tiger were roll
ing on the ground together They
fired 12 times. as rapidly as they could
work their magazine rifles, and then
tiger and man lay still.
Four bullets had entered the tiger,
and eight had pierced the body of the
man.-William Willard Howard, in

TOMATO GROWERS TROUBLES.

A large number of tomato growers
of Kent and Sussex counties have been
served with injunctions restraining
them from selling their tomatoes out
side the state. Before the vegetables
were planted the growers entered into
contracts with Delaware Gamers to fur
nish them with tomatoes. AS the crop
was a failure in many places, the Balti-
more Gamers came into Delaware and
raised the price Of tomatoes from S6 ia
S12 and SIS ton. The growers, seeing
chance to make more money. sold
some of their crop to the Baltimore
firms. The Delaware Gamers have now
secured injunctions to prevent the
growers from further breaking their
contracts.

to her father. of whom she has probably
heard nothing except stories of cruelty,
his faithleSsness and his treason to the
wife OF his youth. Can she grow up bear
ing him the decent filial affection which a
child should feel for her parent? Or will
she ripen into womanhood cherishing the
bitter memory OF her mothers wrongs,
deserted throughout her lie for ballet
dancers, ladies of gallantry and an opera
singer? 1t would puzzle a psychologist
to speculate on the nature which tha ex-
perience of the chilo will engender in the
woman. In French novels, especially
novels of the Zola school, the sins of the
fathers are visited upon the children;
study father and mother, you can tell
what the child will be. Is it so in real
life? Or, are the impressions which the
plastic soul receives in childhood effaced
by the firmer marks that are stamped on
the edolescent mind?

bad and base and foul in the actual world.
The sorrows of her childhood and their
cause will be tabooed. She will hear of

erosity. Her best instincs will be de-
veloped and strengthened; her weak
nesses will be checked an she will be
taught to be on her guard against them.
So far as one mind can be projected into
another the ad mirab.e women who con-
duct conventual schools in France will in
fuse their own virtues INTO the young
scholar. Will they succeed in obliterating
the hereditary taint derived from the
father?
Goodness is like spelling. You can't
learn either at school. A person who is
gifted with an accurate eye learns to spell
by noting the sequence i'll which letters
follow each other in words. II the eye be-
inaccurate or :nIttentive twenty years of
spelling class will not amount 10 much for
orthography. And so. perhaps. where
oblique instincts are inherited they NAV

The death of Mrs. Antonio Terry has
Sc all tongues in the country wagging
over the old scandals. and newspapers are
rehashing the old story with recollection
OF details which are gradually growing
dim. In a lew years there will not be
many PEOPLE who remem Der the tripartite
social drama which for decade gave the
ouidnuncs something to talk about in the
three great cities of the modern world.
Itis story OF two fair women and one
man who was not fair-a story of love
and passion and jealousy and treason and
revenge. On one OF the personages the
funereal mar BILE has just been laid, and
she is out of the cast. The two others
still hold the stage.
Of these one was the daughter OF Cali
lornia Chief Justice. Iften years ago any
one was entitled to be called the belle OF
San Francisco it was surely Sy bill Sander
son. To form which Praxiteles might
have modelled she united a face worthy of
Greuze; grace was in all her movements;
her rounded contours were the perfection
OF symmetry; her mouth was sweetness
itself: her glance affected to reveal
sluul bering passion, which, happily for
mans peace, is rarely vouchsafed to the
possessors OF beauty. To these natural
charms of person she added the gift Of
song which had been sedulously cult-
vated under the best masters; she had
three more notes in her upper register
thar other singers, and they were intoxi-
eating. Men OF the world who watched
the DEVELOPMENT of this bewitch ng crea-
ture wondered how her destiny would
unrayei; none OF them succeeded in cast
ing her horoscope.
There came 4 day when strange whis-
pers Aoated through the air; there was
story that the fair Sybil. like the Countess
of Amaegin,
Await tout donne, sa beaute de colombo,
Et son amour.
The Comte de Sal agne in this case was
a staIwart Italian with flashing eyes and
the torso OF a gladiator, who was brick
layer by lrade. His name was CARDINAL
As he slapped the mortar between the
bricks he laid in a wall, he sang war
song OF his country with tenor voice so
robust that Mapleson. passing that way,
listened with rApt ears. British gold

the impresario. Under his guidance he
was rolling waves of melody in grand
opera at San Francisco when he met Sy bill.
1t was Rosalind and Orlando. They no
sooner met than they looked, no sooner
looked than they loved, no sooner loved
than they sighed, no sooner sighed than
they asked one another the re ason, and
no sooner knew the reason than they
sought the remedy. But there is this
OF brlcklayers. no matter how robust and
melodious their voices They do not lust.
Their souls are full of the dust of their
bricks. There came day when CARDINAL
vanished. What became of him no one
Knew, whether he was carried in chariot
of fire to place where bricks are made of
jasper and sapphire, or whether he re-
turned to his native Italy to live on olives
and chestnuts He passed out of fair
Sy bills eye, and we next find her in PARIS,
in the family of a pretended baroness,
whom the simple minded Chief Justice
believed TO be lady OF quality, but who
was IN reality the kind of noblewoman
who figures in Fernando, and is first
cousin 20 Madame de Cunche Eassee.
Here she met Massenet, who is always
prowling round the world seeking what
he may devour. A girl who could take
the Eiffel Tower as easily as Tamagno
can take the high c, and who with the
most exquisite figure in the world was
willing to personate Phryne in the alto
gether after Gerome's picture, was
trouvailIe indeed. He wrote THE En-
chantress" for her and her triumph was
unouestioned; Saint-Saens showed her
in Phryne, and at The sight the gilded
youth of Paris dribbled at the mouth.
Scandal busted itself with her name, but
those who knew the lady were aware that
she had no more heart than cold potato.
and that if she condescended 10 smile
upon an sdorer here and there it was
simply because she wanted to use his
arm 20 help her ascent of the stairs of the
temple OF artistic fame. To her love was
a crutch.
The scene now changes, as the novelists
say, 10 the fertile island where General
Weyler brandishes his sword and the
palm tree waves its futtering leaves over
dusky maids, and sugar and tobacco used
to yield more money than any captain

visit to this country and was telling her
friends that Mr.. Terry had instituted pro-
ceedings in French courts which would
enable him to marry her without resort
ing to South Dakota, that Mrs. Terry ap-
piled to those same courts for an increase
of her allowance to $1,000 a month and
coupled the application with a petit
tion for a divorce on the grounds of her
husband 5 relations with Miss Sanderson.
This was thunderbolt. Miss Sander
sons name had not been mentioned in
the former proceedings Tor a separation; !;
there were so many correspondents as to
whose relation there was no question
that it was not necessary TO bring the
fair Californian into the case. Now she
may be dragged to the front and openly
attacked as the acco mplice of the dereiict
hus band. This may not be done from
malice. 1t was to bring the case within
the purview of that provision of the
French law which declares that no trans
gressor shall benefit by decree OF divorce
to marry the partner of his guilt. What
the court thought on the point has not
yet been shown by final decision, but
Mrs. Terry's application for an increase of

no longer the drawing card at the opera
she had once been. She had horrible
recollection of 4 season at Brussels. which
had been a cold irost. She had read

pronounced superior TO her own. She adj
mitted 10 herself that those wond erful

cacy. By and by the Tower Eiffel would
be a memory. She IVES still young. but
when the voice begins 10 age deterioration
proceeds rapidly. Here was a man who

his propensity to break light canes over

proper course of tuition.
Reasoning OF this sort, on one side and
the other, brought these two people to
the mind that they ought to marry. 1t
