A Fight in a Fish Globe.

Lizards are very greedy animals, or
rather reptiles, as the following incident
will serve to illustrate:
Mr.. and Mrs. Newt, as they were called
by their small keeper, were pair OF
lizards, and more Unmatched couple it
would be hard to find. They fought
continually, and on the least provoca-
ton; sometimes, indeed, with none at
all, apparently "scrapping' for the fun OF
the thing.
One day at dinner time two nice, tat,
Juicy worms were dropped in, one for
each. But such congenia division OF
food was not to be. Husband and wife
each made dash for the same worm,
and each got an end in its mouth. Then
they both began to swallow. Slowly
their heads drew nearer and nearer to-
gether, and soon the loving pair were
vis-a-vis, each having got away with
a half of the worm. Mr.. Nevis eyes
glarcd at Mrs. Newt, as much as to say,
well, what are you doing here?" Mrs.
Newt returned the compliment with
interest.
Then began tug Of war, each trying
10 get the others half of the worm.
Over and over they went, wriggIing
and twisting all over the globe. Neither
one would drop its end; but some one
must give way, This some one was the
poor worm, who had no voice in the pro-
ceedings. Suddenly, without word OF
warning he came in half and settled
the discussion
Then without pause, each made a
dive for the other worm, who was lazily
crawling around the bottom. But alas
the would be victim wriggled, both
missed their aim, and each got the other
by one of the front legs.
And now the fun began Tor fair, back
and forward, round and round they
went, squirming and pulling, and fright
ening the little tadpoles almost to death
by their struggles to free themselves.
Both combatants at last became tired,
and as if by mutual agreement opened
their mouths thus loosening their hold
on one another.
They then retired to opposite sides of
the globe, thoroughly exhausted and
doubtless musing on the greediness of
lizard kind Popular Science News.

it continues means loss OF life and
property without the romotest en-

abandon William J. Bryan and fee
silver and run theirrace alone. This
skaters the triple alliance which
Bryan depended upon to maintain
him as formidable political leader

ever since the election and now the
storm has come. Their main princi.
pie will be TO crush the terrible AFRO.

AN UNFORTUNATE PAIR.

Two Women Locked Up by the Police
 One Was Starving the Other Was
 Drunk
 Annie Mccarthy, young woman about twenty years of age, with a po- lice record, was arrested last evening by Officer Grant. She was charged with being drunk, but when taken to the police station, she said that she was not drunk but half starved. She finished a ten days jail sentence two days ago, and said that she had not eaten anything since leaving the jail She said that she was so weak that she could hardly walk, and that the officer seeing her stagger thought that she was intoxicated. A benevolent gen. tleman, who was in the police office when she told her story, sent out and had a good supper brought in for her. She was locked up, but will probably be allowed to go without being taken into court this morning.
 Estella Brennan, a woman of thirty one years of age, who lives in what is known as Stewards row near the Neck bridge on State street, was brought to the Grand avenue police station last evening by Officers Cooper and Doody, charged with drunkenness. The wo- man had a seven weeks old baby in her arms, and the neighbors say that she is intoxicated the greater part of the time and does not take care of the baby The woman was locked up al police headquarters last night and the child was taken to the Organized Charities, where 1t was cared for dur ing the night by an old lady whose ser vices were secured for that purpose by Agent Preston.

A Good Cigar.

There has for some time past been a constantly increasing demand for a high class cigar at a. low price. Real iZing this want Gilbert & Thompson, 91S Chapel street, have been on the look out for some thing which they could offer to supply the demand-something which they could back with their guar antee. They are offering the La Rapi- dez Key West cigar at price abso- lutely lower than it would cost to man ufacture them here. Already this cigar has quite an enviable sale and is catch ing the popular favor fast. It is made from the most carefully selected tobac- co and in New York where 1t has a large sale it is pronounced by connois- seurs to be equal to many higher priced cigars.
 In offering this cigar Gilbert & Thompson have not however, lost sight of the famous Mi Favorita Key West.

CONNECTIcUT'S SOLDIERY.

Along the northern side of the broad green field, and beyond this artillery park, just in front of us, are rows of tents, sheltering some 2,Soo men. Away up at the western end is the quartermaster's storehouse and then, off there at the left on the southern side of the field, picturesquely arranged, are two semi circles, of large tents, the governor and staff in one and the brigadier-general commanding and his staff in the other
 A pagoda band-stand marks the opening of the governors semi-circle, and from it floats the State emblem when His Excellency is in camp. In front of the brigadier-generals quarters is the post flag staff, with colors so high that they may be seen for miles. Back of these quarters, the red cross flag by day and the red light by night, indicating the location of a splendidly equipped hospi-
