DANCING STOPPED
When DonilOff Was Stabbed
In the Head.
He Kicked the Music and the
Dance Came to an abrupt End.
Johnson, the Orchestra Says. he Was Whittiny
Toothpick at the Time.

The case of Henry Johnson of Proyi-
dence was the principal attraction in the
District Court yesterday morning before
Judge Blodgett. The accused pleaded not
guilty, and the case was continued until
Monday next TO await the extent OF the
injuries he inflicted on one Fred. Daniioff.
The trouble occurred at a dancing party
given by number of Firms in a barn ON
Sherman street on Saturday night. The
merry making was at its height, all the
dancers who had been invited were pres
ent, the music for the dancin :, which con-
sisted of an accordeon skill 'ully manipu-
lated by Henry Johnson was = ding forth
its breezy notes on the night air, the
dancers were engaged in an endeavor TO
get the most dancing out of the limited
time that remained before midnight. IL
was at this point that the slight diversion
occurred, in fact, it may be called serious
interruption to the festivities.
The story of what happened at this
stage of the festivities Is somewhat con-
fused owing to the fact that the partici
pants in the dance can speak but little
English, and lost the power of expressing
that little in the excitement, but this
much is known: Johnson and member
of the party named Doniloff had had some
trouble on previous occasion, and as the
latter passed Johnson he kicked the ac-
Gordon out of the musicians hand. John
son did not retaliate but put the instru
ment to one side and calmly took out his
knife to whittle toothpick.
1t may be stated right here that when
two Firms engage In fight that they
open the proceedings by butting
each other with their heads. The origin
of these goat like tactics is buried in the
past. So apparently when johnson did
not show fight, Doniloff made dash at
him head down, and somehow or other
struck the knife receiving cash over the
right eye. This broke up the party and
the Firms departed home with something
to talk about on Sunday.
Officer Reynolds heard rof the matter,
and placed both men under arrest. When
they reached the station Doniloff was weak
from loss of blood, and City Physician
jerks had to take several stitches over his
eye before he could go to his home at 81
McGill street. When the case comes mp
i'm court more facts regarding the case may
develop

on the ground that 1t was the laboring
mans club. After referring to the matter
as referring to the industry of the labor
ing classes, DIR. Whitney spoke OF its re-
lation to the morals of the people, and the
bearing of drink on mems honor and
honesty. "Refer," said the speaker, ITO
our criminal courts, and every criminal
Judge, and you will find that so per cent
of c/me Is due to drink. The saloon Is
legalized, and yet 1t is the rendezvous OF
the criminal classes. Take q detective In
case of crime being committed, does ne
go to the church to look for the criminal?
Does he go 20 the respectable business
housesf No, he goes to the nearest saloon.
There Is a mistaken idea existing about
the financial benefit derived from the
liquor traffic. There is a mistaken idea
about the revenue. For every dollar of
revenue received from this source, we pay
out nine. This Is true In municipal, state
or national incomes from this source, and
/ challenge any man to deny 1t.
"Who Is responsible for the existence
of the liquor traffic? The ministers first,
IL they do not do their duty, and here
pause to pay just tribute to the Catholic
clergy and laiety for their stand in the
matter" After referring to the work In
the cause by Archbishop Ireland and
Father Carroll the speaker continued,
"Among the Catholic societies there are
1900 men who have taken the pledge of
total abstinence.
"In the second place the church folk are
responsible, II they do not work for this
end. In the third the temperance people
themselves, II they do not vote as they
should. In the fourth the moneyed peo-
pie, and in the fifth the men of position,
for they always have following"
The speaker then referred to the use of
wine in the White House. Continuing
the Doctor said "You take the saloon
keepers money, and legalize his trade,
therefore you share the responsibility with
him." The speaker closed with an appeal
te the "girls" in the audience to have
nothing to do with young men who
drank"
William M. Trafton then rendered a
solo, and Rev. A. s. Weeks, rector of the
Church of the Advent pronounced the
benediction.

Passion Sunday.

Yesterday was Passion Sunday, which
marks the beginning of the especially holy
and solemn season of Lent. The last fifteen
days are given up to consideration of the
passion of Christ. The Episcopal and
Catholic churches take significant obser-
vance of the period. In the Catholic
churches the statues and pictures are
covered with purple and the vestments
are of this semi mourning color. Palm
Sunday comes after Passion and the next
Sunday after that Is Easter.

CATTLE ARE DISEASED.
AN ALARMING STATE OF AFFAIRS
DISCLOSED IN AT7LEBORO.
Condemned Cattle Sold For Meat and Dairy
Uses-FIagrant Violations of the Law.

Attleboro, Mass, April 5.-The Mas.
sachusetts cattle commissioners have
been Investigating the disposition OF
condemned cattle I'm this section, and
as a result, il is stated. an alarming
state of affairs Is being disclosed. 1t
is said that cattle which had been
ordered slaughtered when they were
found to be diseased from tuberculosis
have been driven across the Rhode ISL
and line and sold there for milch COWS.
Other cattle, similarly condemned, have
been killed and the flesh taken across
the state line under cover Of darkness
and disposed OF to wholesale and re-
tail provision dealers in the Blackstone
valley
The milk of those COWS which have
been sold to milk producers, is being
distributed over a wide territory. This
condition of affairs was discovered by
accident, through the report of a farmer
who had taken three sick cows to be
slaughtered. He found that the cows
were driven into Rhode Island and sold
as healthy cattle.
The cattle commissioners were in
formed of this incident and now, with
the aid of the state police, are endeavor-
ing to trace every condemned COW. The
period in which the violations of the
law have been carried on is yet un-
known, but it is intimated that several
men, who are under suspicion, are en-
deavoring to ward off prosecution by
Offering to settle. The sale of milk
from diseased cows is the worst feature
of the violation. and IL is held by many
to explain an increase of sickness in the
Blackstone valley.

The One-Horsa Farmer.

The following account of the mis- takes of a one-horse farmer may be slightly exaggerated, but many of them will sound familiar There are lots of just such farmers as Is described in the following:
 The one-horse farmer has a longing ambition to gain a reputation for wear ing dirty shirt.
 He will alarm the neighborhood by getting up two hours before day, then sit around and not go to work until s o'clock.
 He will ride around a wnpl- lnnlring TOT q SZ hog
 He will somplain of hard times and tear his pants climbing a fence where q gate oug-t to be.
 He will pay $3 for new bridle, then let the calf chew 1t up before Sunday.
 He will get all his neighbors to help in getting @ cow out of the bog, then let her die for want of attention.
 Stock will get in and destroy his corn at a place in the fence that he has been putting off for six months.
 He will strain his back lifting some thing to show how strong he Is.
 He talks sll day Sunday on what he knows about farming, then rides around the neighborhood Monday hunt ing seed potatoes.
 He will go in his shirt sleeves on a cold day to show how much he can stand, then return home at night and occupy two-thirds of the fireplace until bedtime.
 He will ridicule the mechanism of a cotton planter and then go out and smash his thumb mailing board on a fence.
 He will go down town on Saturday and come back with 50 cents worth of coffee, a paper of pins, $1 worth of chewing tobacco and his hide full of whisky.
 He is ecoaomical; economy Is his forte; he will save 10 cents worth of axle grease and ruin the spindle of a S70 wagon.
 He won't subscribe for a newspaper. but will borrow one from his friend and forget to return it.-Dallas. Texas. Mercury.

The Carture of an orohia

Among the flowers of tropical lands none are more prized for their beauti full and curious forms and fragrant scent than the orchids, which grow in all sorts of odd places, but mostly o7 the ground, or perched high up among the branches of the trees.
 The orchids of the Guiana forests provide a home for the black ants free, gratis and for nothing"
 Why? Because they prey upon the cockroaches, which would otherwise destroy the plant by eating up Its juici- est portions.
 So that when a human hunter tries to capture plant, he has to reck. on with thousands of tiny foes that fight to the very last.
 After the plant has been dislodged from the tree-no easy task-it Is usu- al to attach 1t to a long bamboo pole and throw 1t into the river, unril the ants are thoroughly washed out of it.
 And all the time the boat has to be kept up stream and the pole carefully watched lest the ants come aboard.
 By-and-by the insects confess them selves beaten, and the orchid-seeker retires with his dearly won prize

There's Money in Rats.

When Louise Michel was in prison she was permitted to have three of her cats with her. But she soon dis covered that she would have the com pany of other animals as well, for some rats paid her a visit.
 Their first visit ended badly for them, as the cats attacked them and slew one and wounded another. Mdlle. Michel nursed the wounded rat, and her kindness made the other rats her friends. They "called' upon her twice every day and behaved excellently. She found them respectful to the old, kind to the unfortunate, and full of family feeling.
 The governor of the prison sent them food from his table, and sometimes came himself to see the. Mdlle. Mich els example of treating these crea- lures with kindness was copied by other persons, who agree that the rat Is a capital animal for the snowman
 A Russian trained a number to act as sailors upon a miniature ship, the rigging of which they climbed very cleverly. He found them more teach able than dogs, which is saying a good deal.

For the first time on record, says the New York Tribune, full military honors have been accorded by the En- glish army authorities at the funeral Of a Roman Catholic Sister of Mercy. The woman in question had succumb- ed to infectious pneumonia while nUrS- ing a soldier in the government hos pital at Gibraltar, and she was borne to her grave on a gun carriage, fol- lowed by the General in command of the colony, with all his staff, as well as by detachments of every regiment of the garrison. while three volleys were fired over her grave.
