81 on OSE DAY.

a Puaishnsut Thst No Man Need Fear
In the Police Court.
II any respectable person should happen to
get into tho hands OF the police and be fined By
. city Magistrate. when he had no money and
didn't want to make known his plight to
friends, no might DO benefited By knowing that
some threatened torns OF Imprisonment are not
so awful as they seem TO DO. This Ia due to the
fact that the dav Of commitment and the day
OF discharge always count In law AS full days,
and that It IL the custom not to put Q person
to serving out . sentence until the ond OF the
day of commitment and to release him on the
morning Of the day OF discharge.
A curious instance o. how this works WAS
witnessed tho other day At the Charles street
police station. A SuS reporter had gone there
upon some news errnnd. and whi!o he talked 10
the Sergeant At the de.k. no noticed that tho

now THE GRIzzLT EATS PEANUTS.
And Some Comments by Eyrtanders on the
Bears apparent Fondaess for Them.

A man who stood in front of tho bear pit at
tue mensgeriei in Central Park was greatly inter-
ested In observing just how the big grizzly bear
took tho peanuts that ono OF the visitors was
handing TO him. The bear stood up at an angie
OF about forty-ilve degrees, hind feet on the floor
OF the pit. ono fore foot resting on the stone
led so In which the bars OF the cage are imbedded,
tho other extended through tue bars to take
the peanuts. Ec did not clutch them under his
claws and then turn the claws inward upon
the ball Of his foot, but when he reached out
through the bars he spread his claws apart
sideways. as one might spread tho fingers OF his
nanl apart. The visitor would place u peanut
between two Of the claws, and thea the bear
would close the claws together. IA ono would
close the fingers Of his ouLstretched hand, Ho
would hold the peanut between Two claws In
tho anne manner that u man sometimes holds q
cigar between two tingers. Holding II thus The
bear would carry the peanut 70 his mouth: then
thrusting his paw ont between the bars AZ ain
he would open his claw out sideways as before,
waiting for another.
II suppose II must be an acquired taste" said
q ,olemn-faced bystander. referring TO the
bears apparent %fondneBs for peanuts.
IL don't know" said another man. I'm not
so sure but what there are some places where
grizzlies live that peanuts grow"
That may be-" said the solemn-facod man,
:" but Pm cure there's no place where they
grow baked"

Unique Honor to a Woman,

The only woman who ever received
the freedom of Scotch city is Miss
Jessie Mckie, of Dumfries. who re.
ceived this honor in company with Mr..
Balfour, first lord of the treasury, from
the mayor of her town. This signal
distinction has been bestowed on her as
mark of the respect and gratitude of
her fellow citizens for her efforts to.
improve and beautify the town of Dunn
fries. AS there are only two other
lady burgesses in the United Kingdom,
the inhabitants of Dumfries could
hardly have chosen Il more Hattering
method of conveying their appreciation
Of Miss McKie's generosity.
Miss Lettuce Ilbert, who has this
year obtained first class in the Ok
ford final-honors school of modern his
tory, is a daughter of Sir Courtenay
llbert, X. G. S. l. The early years OF
Miss llbert's life We're spent in India,
but on the return of Sir Courtenay
Ibert to England to take up the post of
assistant parliamentary counsel Miss
llbert became pupil at the Baker
street High school. In 1898 Miss
Ilbert passed the higher examination
Of the Oxford and Cambridge joint
board, and in the following year she
went up to Somervile College, Oxford,
where she obtained the Margaret Evans
prize. Not satisfied with her brilliant
career at Oxford, Miss Ilbert has de-
cided not to rest on her laurels, and
has just been elected to studentship at
the London School of Economics

St. Louis, Oct. 18.-Anton Steuver,
president of local brewing company,
says that in few days the big brewery
wagons will be propelled by gasoline
engines instead OF horses. Herbert
Mulherren, a young man of this city, is
the inventor of the engine, which
weighs only 300 pounds and which will
run 10 hours on five gallons Of gasoline,
which can be bought for five cents per
gallon. No engineer is required, and it
is self-oiling. The gearing can be re-
versed and the wagon suddenly stopped
or instantly backed without stopping
the engine. The 300-pound machine
will furnish Az horsepower. 1t will
be great saving to concerns using a
number of horses.

FORTY-FOUR CASES.
High Water Mark in the Fever Stricken
City.

City.
New Orleans, Oct. 1S.-Fever cases
ran up rapidly today. BY 10 O'Clock
there had been II cases reported, and
by 6 O'Clock A, so that early in the
evening the prospects were excellent
that this day would show the high
water mark. There were three deaths.
An excellent feature of the situation,
however, is that recoveries and dis
charges of patients are numerous. This
is the 10th day of the fever, and the
total number of recoveries exceeded the
total number of cases now under treat
ment, showing the success which local
physicians are meeting with in treating
cases
The weather is trifle cooler this
evening, but is still warm enough to
rapidly develop cases.
Douglas Bolte, negro leader, was
lynched at small settlement on Bayou
Barteria, about 10 miles from this city.
His offense was running the quarantine
gauntlet.
The Knights of Honor have organized
a committee and notified the grand Off
GERS that they are prepared to look after
any member Of the order that may be
sojourning in this city pending the pre-
vailng fever, so that fraternal care and
attention may be accorded such mem
bers as may become afflicted.

THE DOME CAME DOWN.
Serious Accident In u Cincinnati Opera
House-Three Were killed.

Cincinnati. Oct. lS.-Three persons
were killed and over 30 others were
more or less seriously injured by the
falling of the dome of Robinson
opera-house this evening.
About S:45 o'clock, soon after the
raising Of the curtain at the perform
ance of Dangers of Great City"
plastering began to fall from the dome
ceiling, 40 or 90 feet above the people
in the parquette. The house was we'll
filled, but not crowded. The plaster
ing fell in small PARTICLES at first, but
enough to alarm some of the timid, who
retired.
A little later the plastering began to
shower down in great chunks. There
was rush from the gallery, which was
Lot very we'll filled. The balcony was
s,on emptied. Those in the dress circle
retired as promptly as possible, and =,
strange to say, without apparent panic
The crowding of those to the door OBJ
etructed the passage of the people from
the parquette, which accounts in a
measure for the number of causalties.
Nobody expected at the moment any
other danger than from the falling plas-
tering.
Suddenly. and with a great crash,
the great central truss of the ceiling,
80 feet long and 80 feet wide, came
plunging down. The ends of it struck
on the two gallery wings and doubled
it up in the center, sending down into
the parquette great scattering of
joists and timbers. Nothing on the
stage was harmed. There were means
from the injured, which. as often hap
pens, were loudest from those least
hurt
The news spread rapidly, and there
was a rush of patrol wagons and firemen
70 the scene. The salvage corps, with
Is wagon, was first on the ground, and
it was followed by the police patrol
wagons, which carried the injured to
the Cincinnati hospital.
The list thus far showed three dead,
i've dangerously if not fatally wounded.
and 26 more or less seriously injured.
In addition to these, large number,
probably 25 or 30, were so slightly in
ured as to be able to walk home.
OF the seriously injured at the
hospital, several will suffer amputation
If limbs, yet every one is refusing to
submit to the operation. A score of
surgeons volunteered their assistance to
The hospitals corps. A sufficient num-
Der was accepted
