A Sacred Bird.

Feathers from the tail of the Argus pleas
ant are the most prominent in trimming of
hats. Golden brown feathers with their i'm
Vulnerable eyes are wonderfully becoming,
and are bound to meet with favor among the
most fashionable women universally. The
popularity of the Argus feather in trimming
revives the ancient Greek legend of the
giant Argus from which the feathers derived
their name. This giant, it is said, possessed
one hundred eyes, of which only two slept at
one time. This was continued in pairs in
succession. 1t was the duty of this giant to
keep guard over a beautiful woman who was
transformed into heifer by Juno as motive
| for revenge for favors displayed toward
Jupiter. Finally this many-eyed giant was
| slain by Mercury after which Juno ordered
the eyes to be set in the tail of the Argus
pheasant and to this very day this bird is re-
garded as being the selfappOinted guardian
of unhappy wives. This superstition mad,
it sacred bird among the Greeks and tn,
feathers from the tail are still believed t,
bring happiness and prosperity to all VIII
wear them. A fine collection of this feathe
and also mounted pheasant were shown

KIRLIN LOST.
His Race with Michael Salmon Was q
Pretty One.

Pretty One.
One Of the prettiest foot races seen in this
part Of the coal region for many years was
run at Mahanoy City park yesterday after
noon between G. G. II. Kirlin, of town, and
Michael Salmon, Of the former place The
race had been topic for month past and
the outcome was awaited with much interest.
The hackers Of the respective men were con-
fdent of victory up to the moment the
winning line was crossed, but the Salmon
people had the most money and they offered
odds as high as 10 to 4 before the men got of.
The betting was not brisk, but considerable
money changed hands.
The race was a 30 yard dash for 500 side.
James Smith, of town, was the referee and
Mr.. Turner, of Philadelphia, the p istol firer
The racers and their trainers were on the
grounds at $3.50 o'clock and each took trial
spin. Promptly at ais o'clock the men tOed
the scratch and soon after Turner started
them. They got Off well, Kirlin being
slightly in the lead. Salmon caught up with
him. but Kirlin was again slightly ahead at
the thirty-yard line. At forty yards, how
ever, the men were even and by a sudden
squirt Salmon jumped ahead and crossed the
tape line two feet ahead.
Kirlin's hackers were disappointed in the
race, but not in their runner. They claim
the result was due to Salmons superior con-
ditiOn. He has been training and racing all
summer, while Kirlin was only trained for
about three weeks. 1t is not likely that the
men will come together again, at least not
this season. About two hundred people wit.

DANDO DEAD.
He suooumbs to the Injuries Inflicted by
BialsckI,

Jack" Dando, the veteran Constable, died
at 1925 o'clock last night from the effects of
the gurshot wound inflicted on Wednesday
night by WOiczyk Bialecki, while the officer
was trying to arrest the murderer on a
charge of wife beating and desertion.
Arrangements have been made to have the
funeral take place on Sunday afternoon, at
two o'clock, from the family residence on
West Cherry street, where the services will
be held. Interment will be made in the Odd
Fellows cemetery.
The murderer is still at large and the police
have not succeeded in getting the slightest
trace of him, although they have been work
ing steadily on the case since Bialecki made
his escape. The Philadelphia Times of to-
day says Bialecki is thought to be in that
city, where the police are on the lookout for
him.
This morning Dr. w. n. Stein made an
autopsy on the body of the victim. He found
the heart normal in size and in good cOndi-
ton The liver was slightly enlarged, but
healthy and the lungs showed the effects OF
Miners asthma. Directing his attention to
the wound DE-. Stein found that the shot
entered the body on the right side, two
inches above the right nipple, five inches
frem the center of the breast and
six inches from the top of the shoulder.
The shot took downward course, shatter-
ing the fifth, sixth seventh and eighth ribs
and penetrating the middle lobe of the right
lung, making a cavity in the lung in which
the doctor could insert his three fingers
Two of the shot and a piece of one of the
ribs were taken from the lung.
DIR. Stein says the victim died from shocl
and hemorrhage from the lung, either o
which was sufficient to cause death.
Deputy Coroner Mauley has not fixed
time for the inquest, but will probably do 5,
tonight. He is awaiting instructions from
the District Attorneys office.
William Bialecki, the eldest son of th,
fugitive, is lending all the assistance he cal
to the police. He spent all of yesterday anC
to-day visiting places suggested as possibl,
haunts of his father, but his efforts have beer
as frutless as those of the police. The sol
says he is as desirous as anyone to have til,
fugitive brought to justice and will do all il
his powep to that end.

properly dressed, to have outer garments o
the approved style, must pin their faith" t,
a make that can be relied upon for being alb
sOlutely right in that particular.
