FOUGHT WITH A WILD CAT.


Tho Beast Springs Into tho Cab Of a
Moving Locomotive.
Engineer Frellch of Ogden, Utah,
who runs on the Southern. Pacific rail-
road, had an experience which be will
have cause to remember for many a
day. When the westbound passenger
train was nearing Blue Creek station,
at the northern point Of Great Salt
Lake, one night last week, q vicious
wildcat sprang out of the darkness in
to the cab, and after moments hest
tation attacked the fireman, at whose
side It landed. The engineer came to
the aid Of his fireman and attempted
to beat the animal off with a shovel.
The brute then sprang upon him, land
Ing on his chest, and burying its claws
in his face and shoulders. The beast
seemed possessed Of devil. and bit,
clawed and scratched with maniac fury
and when It finally sprang down and
out Of the cab Frellch's face resembled
a map Of the Grecian frontier. The
flesh on his hands and face was liter
ally torn to shreds, and when his train
stopped at Terrace he was more dead
than alive. The trainmen believe that
the wildcat was hiding in the bushes
by the track, and being blinded by
the glare of the headlight, made q leap
for safety and landed in the cab.

Miss Pauline Halves arose in her
sleep and was in the act Of stepping
through window in the second story
when Miss Bessie Rooms, who was
spending the night with her, leaped
from bed and restrained her. Miss
Rooms had been aroused by the crash
Of window pane. Miss Halves had
thrust her left hand through the glass
and the third and fourth fingers had
almost been severed. Not until Miss
Rooms took hold Of her did she awaken.
Then she seemed very much affected

buttonhole, and the broad red ribbon of the
legion OF nonor across his breast. to give
little color to this plain costume Of mod
ern democracy. With the tall hat on his
head and gloves in his hand, he is the type
of the successful man of businessmen as
you might see any day in New York or
Chicago. In fact, 1t is the white CATERS
and monocle fixed In his eye which have
most Of all taken the fancy Of the Parisians,
who make fun Of every one and everything.
The English language served the presi-
dent in good turn, for the King of Siam
speaks no French, while his English is
said to be like that-let US hope not Of Lon
don, where they speak 1t badly-but of
Liverpool or Boston. The president and
the minister OF colonies, M. Lebon, were
the only two among the French dignitaries
who could converse with their royal visitor,
who, If he understands any French, did
rot let on. The questions pending between
France and Siam are awkward enough to
make him wish to keep silence until he is
safe back to his own city.
The Admiral Got Even.
1t was noticed that on his visit to the
Louvre he only bowed vaguely without
holding out his hand, as he was accustomed
to Go when the curator of the Marine Mu-
scum was presented. The latter was the
French admiral who once had the disa-
81 eeable mission to run his warship up the
liver in Siam and force the monarch to
give ear to the wishes of France. This
korn, like all orientalS knows well how to
dissimulate. Coming out of the museum.
he extended his hand, which this time the
French admiral contrived not to see-So
they were quits.
But France had laid herself out to make
the most favorable impression possible on
This oriental onarch, over whom they
dread the influence of England. From his
official visit here, as in every country of
Europe. except England, he will carry back
the impression of nothing but soldiers, and
soldiers. ami soldiers again. His impression
will be not far from correct. as Europe is
full of them. He saw the battered veter-
ans when he visited Napoleon'S tomb at
the Invaiides. When he passed them by
in their long files. and wherever he entered
or left public building he saluted gravely;
but it noticed that he had not learned
to applaud the ballet dancers of the opera,
who were brought to amuse him after the
state dinner
Will Go About Incosnito.
His chief pleasure was found in the lit
tie things which seem to the tourist COM
mon. At the top of the Eiffel tower he
forced all his attendants to wait while the
man who cuts profile portraits executed
him. He was never, however, so sensa-
tional as the Persian shah. who was per-
suaGed to go up in the lift as far as the
first landing when, seized with panic terror
he ran to the staircase and bundled down
again as fast as his oriental legs would
carry him.
But for the King Of Siam, Frenchmen
cannot get over his speaking only English:
Perhaps his going about bouleyards and
cafes at his own sweet will may change all
tnis. STERLING HEILIG.

ANTIPATHY AMONG ANIMALS.


From the Hartfo-L Coz rant
The likes and dislikes of animals are IN
accountable Some horses take a violent
prejudice against certain men, even though
they are treated kindly and though the
mans moral character is fair. Between
the cat and dos there is violent antipathy,
which, however, is not infrequently display
ed by mutual respect, and even affection in
exceptional cases. The elephant hates dogs
ard rats. Cows dislike dogs, and so do
sheep. and, what seems stranger, are par
ticularly partial TO bears. On the other
hand, horses loathe and detest camels and
refuse to be decently civil to them after
lCrg acquaintance. They even hate the
place where camels have been, which
seems to be carrying race prejudice to an
extreme.
Evolutionists are accustomed to explain
these instructive feelings as survivals of
ancestral enmities dating from the days
when one race preyed on the other. This
would account for the natural enmity of
cows TO dogs, for when cows were wild
they were obliged to defend their calves
from bands of predatory wild dogs But
why should the horse like dogs? Ii is but
the other day that the wild horses organ
lied to defend their colts from wolves on
our western prairies. What could the an
cestral horse have had against the ances-
trail camel OF million years agog Above
all, why should the horse approve of the
bear? 1t must be that the horse has a dor
mant sense of beauty and of humor. The
iceal of the horse is grace, combined with
strength. He disapproves from the bottom
of his nature Of the hopelessly vulgar awk-
ward and unaesthetical camel. The bear,
he sees at oace. though clumsy, is unpre-
tentious, truthful and not devoid Of a
sense OF humor. The dog he recognizes as
a good fellow. conpanionable and unselfsh
He therefore forgets his ancestral pre-
dacious habits: A strong bond between ihe
dog and the horse 10 that they are both
fond OF sport. whereas a camel would not
go an inch to see the best race that was
ever run.
The horse does seem q little prejudiced IN
the case of the camel but IL is a fine. aris-
tocratic, unreasonable prejudice he has
And We like him for himself and for show
Ing that the evolutionists cannot explain
all the sentiments OF q refined and highly
OF ganixed animal. Man. of course they can
account for In every particular.

Dan Voorhees, Defense of Cook.
From the Indiapanolia NeMs

Dan VoOrhees' Defense of Cook.
From the indianapolis News.
To those of this generation the story of
the John Brown expedition is ancient his
tory. They will, therefore, be much in
terested in reading the defense CT Cook
by Mr.. Voorhees,. In the excited condi-
ticn of the public mind in Virginia at chat
time, it was inevitable that Mr.. Voorhees,
should fail. He Gid fail, and his client
was hanged in December, 1850, at Charles
town. Va. He was, however. acquitted of
the charge of treason, though convicted
and hanged for murder. The argument
was based largely on the supposed fact
that Cook was merely the innocent agent
of the abolition leacers, and, in the course
of his speech. Mr.. Voorhees, insisted that
Beecher, Seward, Theodore Parker, Gid
dings, Sumner and Hale were the real
crimiI ais.
Midnight gloom" he said lis not more
somber in contrast with the blazing ligh.
Of the meridian sun than is the guilt of
such men in comparison with that which
overwhelrns this prisoner They put in mo-
tion the maelStroin which has ingClfed
him. They started the torrent which has
borne him over the precipice. They called
forth from the caverns the tempest which
wrecked him on a sunken reef. Before
God and in the light of eternal truth TIE
disaster at Harper's Ferry is their act, and
not his. May the gnost of each victim to
their doctrines of disunion and abomna ton
sit heavy on their guilty souls! May the
fate OF the prisoner, whatever it may be,
disturb their slumbers and paralyZe their
arms when they are again raised against
the peace of the country and the lives of
it's citizens
But Virginia could not get hold of Mr.
Voorhees, Criminals, and so she hanged
his client.

FOSTERS TRUSTS.
The Inevitable Tendency of the Policy
OF Protection


Extracts from the speech of Mr.
Bailey, of Texas, on the Tariff Bill:
1.-The pretense that the bill under
consideration is designed primarily
to increase the public revenues is a
false one upon it's very tace because
if that had been he object il could
have been accomplished without
disturbing all the business interests
of the country by a general revision
of our tariff duties. A slight change
in the existing law would have suf-
feed.
Another more practical but less
potent reason why the republican
party cannot undertake in earnest to
suppress these hurtful combine tions
of capital is that its vast and com
plicated scheme of taxation for
private purposes, is maintained by
the active and financial support at
those who have personal and busl-
ness connection with these trusts,
and as you rely upon the votes they
influence and the campaign suhscrip-
tions of trusts it Is unreasOna BILE To
suppose that you will deny them N
participation in the profits of II
system which they have h.lped to
fasten upon the country We have
sufficient and abundant proof OF this
fact in the pending bill which gives
to the sugar trust a pure gratuity
! which experts estimate at rot less
than 81 100000 annually.
Il am not willing to charge in this
high place that the republican party
| has sold its intellect and conscience
to the sugar trust, and | prefer tn
| b. lieve that it has been driven by the
los ic OF its position to the asset ance
of a monopoly which has grown 40
! bold under its special privileges tha t
! it scandalizes congress and d. fies he
! power OF the courts; bus, sir, the
j republican party must coutess hat it
has sold itself to the sugar trust or
i it must admit that protection cannot
| deny it's benefits TO monopoly.
"My deliberate Judgment is that
the sugar trust Possesses its power
over you not because it buys your
individual votes, but because it is n
/ part of your ystem and as it helps
to support your system, your system
is compelled to help support if; and
it is certain that trusts will continue
to increase in number and power as
long as you continue your policy d
protection.
