From the New York Nail and Fynre~sl
The annual moving day of the hippota-
mi at Central Park passed off today
without any incident. much to the sur
prise and qualification of Supt. Smith,
who expected some sort of a fracas with
Siris, the iIl-natured son of Fatima, who
gave so much trouble last year. This year
Siris is twice as large and apparently
twice as ugly as last year, and this is
what made Supt. Smith and the keepers
nervous.
A large crowd, knowing of this import
ant event. gathered at the lion house TO
see the difficult feat of moving the hip
potami from the lions house 20 the tank
where the immense amphibians will frolic
about and please themselves and the
crowds all Summer long.
a long runaway of heavy wooden joists
was built from the lion house to the cage
and pond on the outside. Miss Murphy
and Siris were in one tank and Caliph
in another. Miss Murphy and Siris were
lured to the runaways by baskets of fresh
grass, but after they had got half way
they retreated. The keepers were afraid
to punch Siris. Finally both Miss Muir
ply and Siris advanced cautiously to the
cage and pool
When it came to Caliph's turn he sur
prised every one by ambling along at
quick pace down the runaway. as if de-
lighted to get out of doors again, The
whole thing was done in twenty minutes
amid the roaring of the other animals.

When Abram Harweli of Seattle made

So it happened that Mary Harwen went
with her husband into the heart of the
gold country; and happier comrades
never trod the Chilcoot's frozen sleeps
until the little woman fell sick. and the
light feet stumbled and faltered. Then
there were long and bitter nights of.
watching, during which all the strength
of the mans heart ran weakly from his
eyes in tears. One midnight his wife
nestled in his bosom and her thin arms
crept around his neck.
Il have made you trouble after all.
fearl'' she whispered. 'f3ut it is sweet
even to die here in this wilderness OF ice

that the ceremony should have taken
place on the previous day, but she had
not considered that it was Friday, and,

Clerk McDermott had made out the nee
essary certificate and blanks. There was
a slight hitch in the proceedings when the
legal fees had to be paid. Mr.. McDernott
whispered to the prospective husband
about them and he shook his head, and
then had a talk with Miss Morris. She
seemed to be feazed only for moment.
and then she called to Bernsteins mana
ger and asked for a private interview.
Manager and bride retired discfeetly be-
hind a folding screen, and then Miss Nor

was no further trouble. The short serv-
ice prescribed by the law was read TO
the contracting parties, and then Mr..
Stewart said with great solemnity: II

congratulations of her friends, and for a
