Fight Between a Tiger and a Bull.

The Paris letter of the London
Morning Post gives details of an ex-
traordinary entertainment given at the
Plaza de Madrid recently in the pres
ence of 800 spectators. This was
combat between a royal Bengal tiger
and an Andalusian fighting bull. The
tiger, Cesar, was a full grown brute
belonging to Spessardi, the trainer, who
had never been able to do anything
with it, and had, indeed, once nearly
fallen a victim to its ferocity. He sold
it for COCO francs to the Director of
the Plaza
A cage, seventeen yards square by
flour in hight, had been erected in the
middle of the arena, and the animals
We're brought on in vans, the bull be-
ing the first to be released into the in
closure. The brute Immediately be-
gan to run round and round his prison.
believing and throwing up sand and
gravel with his hoofs. The instant the
tiger entered the cage he gave a roar
and bounded on the bull, avoiding the
horns, and fixed on his TANKS and belly
with both teeth and claws. The bull
renamed still for a few seconds, and
then seemed to be sinking backwards
to the ground The spectators thought
that it was all over, but the tiger let
go Cor a second to take another hold,
and in the brief interval was kicked
over by the wild plunges of the bull.
Before the tiger had time to recover
the bull was cn MIN, and, sinking his
horns into the striped hide, it tossed
the tiger into the air. This was re-
peated four or five times, the bull vary
ing his tactics occasionally by banging
his adversary against the bars. When
the bull stopped the tiger lay limp on
the ground, and the crowd, thinking
he was dead. cried, Bravo, toro."
The bull stood stamping for a mo-
ment in the middle Of the cage, and
then, seeing the tiger did not move, ap-
preached and smelt him. But Cesar
was only shamming death, and seized
the bulls muZzle in his powerful jaws
so the animal could not move. Eventu-
ally, however, he was released, and,
after stamping furiously on the tiger,
again caught him on his horns. This
time the tossing, stamping and bang
ing apparently really ended in Cesar's
death. The cage was then opened,
and the bull rushed out and back to
his stable. For precautions sake the
tigers van was brought up, and, to
the general surprise, Cesar rose to his
feet, glanced around as if afraid the
bull was still there, and then bounded
into the van. The tiger was found to
have five ribs broken, besides having
a number of wounds from the bulls
horns. He is expected, nevertheless,
to survive. 1t is said that all wild
animals-bears, lions, panthers and til
gers-fare badly in combat with the
Spanish fighting bull Man and the
elephant are the only sure victors over
these active and ferocious beasts.

A NECKLACE OF PEARLS

Is a beautiful possession. If a woman owns
one, and if single pearl drops off the string,
she makes haste to find and restore it.
Good health is more valuable possession
than necklace of the most beautiful pearls,
yet one by one the jewels of health slip away,
and women seem Indifferent until It's almost
too late, and they cannot be restored.
To die before you are really old is to suffer
premature death, and that is sin. 1t is sin
because it is the result of repeated violations
of natures laws.
Pain, lassitude and WEAKNESS, inability to
sleep, dreadful dreams, starting violently from
sleep, are all symptoms of nerve trouble
You cannot have nerve trouble and keep
your health. In ninety nine cases out of a
hundred the womb, the ovaries and the bladder
are affected. They are not vital organs, hence
they give out soonest.

the first nugget of gold. will be repro
duced, built of redwood logs. This
structure will be an Identical represen-
tation of Suffers mill at Coloma as it
was on January "a. 1913. The ground
surrounding the mill will be constructed
in the form of an arch. The two mas
sive supports will consist of bolders and
earth thrown together at random. In
niche followed in one support will be a
figure representing spring; in the cor
responding support will stand summer.
Hard by the mill the two gigantic pines
that stood by Suffers mill Will be seen.
and the remainder of the summit will be
covered with EARTH grass and shrub
berry. The tail race from the MILL con-
tanning the exact spot of the discovery,
also, will be portrayed. On the left
hand corner will stand life-size figures
of an Indian, Mexican and a United
States soldier; on the right hand corner
a sailor, mechanic and a primer. Large
redwood trees and timbers are to be
brought from the mountains for the
structure in order to give as much the
appearance of the original mill as skill
can possibly make it.

disfranchised and disqualified from
holding Office. Gradually the asperi-
ties wore away. The franchise was
restored. Political disabilities were
removed at first in minor forms and
from one class of ex-Confederates af-
ter another. Ofice-holding by those
who had been disqualified was made
legal. But the prohibition against
appointments to places in the army
and navy continued. At length
Congress passed special act to let
an ex-Confederate get into the signal
service. Later ex-Confederates be-
came eligible to the army and navy
offices but the prohibition still ap-
piled to ex-Confederates who had
held commissions in the army and
navy before the war. They were
the last to be entirely forgiven and
made eligible for military rank.
In the winter of 1896 the whole
country was aroused to high pitch
of patriotism by President Cleve-
lands message on the Venezuelan
boundary, committing the United
States, under the Monroe doctrine,
against British aggression toward
South American republic. South
erners We'd with Northerners in the
enthusiastic promises to sustain the
government. When this feeling
was strong Senator Hill, of New
York, called attention to the almost
forgotten section quoted above,
That the South should have no
handicap put upon its patriotism, he
suggested the section should be
wiped off the books. He introduce
ed bill to that effect, and it be-
came law on the 31st of March,
1895.
That repeating act made possible
to-day the appointment of Fitzhugh
Lee and Joseph Wheeler to be Major
Generals. They are the first who
held commissions in the army be-
fore the war, and served in the
Confederacy, to be appointed to
places in the army. President Nc
Kinley's action to-day wipes out the
last discrimination against Exon
tederates.
There still remained a provision
that an ex-Confederate could not be
cadet at West Point, but il became
defunct great many years ago.
Three of the Major Generals
created to-day may be obliged to
give up good official positions to
qualify for military glory, The
law seems to be explicit. 1t says:
''NO person holding an office under
the United States shall be member
of either house (of Congress) during
his continuance in said office"
Senator Sewall and Representa-
tive Wheeler do think they will be
obliged to resign before they can
become Generals. Law officers of
the army think they must resign.
Another provision of the statute
provides that an officer of the army
can hold no civil office. Consul
General Lee, it seems, will have to
resign the place he now holds to
enter the army. A Major General
