ROOSTER SOLD AT S1,oo
Over $1,000 and Champion In
Twenty-Seven Battles.

The cele brated gamecock, Commo-
lore Wainwright, after his great VIC
tories at Holletsvilie, Laredo, San An
tonic and Caldwell, was sold in the
cock pit on Gen. Perdeu's ranch in
Burleson county, Tex, for $1,000. Don
San Diego Montemayo, u sportsman
and chicken fancier of Monterey. MeXi-
co, became the purchaser. The money
was paid in gold, and while it was
being counted out the victorious young
rooster crowed Justify. His spurs were
bloody from his recent victory and his
feathers little ruffied. but otherwise
be looked as fresh as the proverbia!
spring chicken.
During the successful campaign
which the game young Commodore has
just completed he was entered in p
mains and was the victor in every one.
1t is said that this bird has won more
than $4,000 for his owner during his
short career. He has fought his last
battle, for, according to the terms OF
the bill of sale which the vendor gave
to Senior MontemayO, the great bird Is
10 DC uSeu dS UIeeuGT, the pun CAoSCi
obligating himself never TO fight the
celebrated gamecock again.
This is believed to be the highest
price ever paid for a rooster in Texas,
but the price would not be regarded
as startling in old Mexico, where vic
torious roosters have often been eX-
changed for herds Of cattle, ranches
and silver mines
Atahualpa was the original pet name
of this wonderful bird, and when he
crowed he seemed TO say it as plainly
as ever a feathered yOungster pro-
nounced his own name. His trainer
made him stand still in gladiator at
titIde while the camera was turned
on him. and when the snap shot was
finished he seemed to understand that
he was expected to crow, and then his
admirers, all of whom were jingling
Wainwright gold in their pockets.
gave him a rousing farewell cheer.

when shown the CHASTITY relic. He at
once positively identified it as the
head of his sister, The Identification
is complete in every way. Young Gill
showed the police mole on the neck,

only sutton. One month ago last Fri
day she started on two weeks vaca-
ton.

returned home for two days. Then she
went away for another week and came
home at the expiration of the period.
Upon her arrival home the second
time she informed her employer
that she was unable to work
any longer, alleging sickness.
She said she was going
away. Miss Gill informed her parents
that Foster had sister in Stratford,
a suburb of this city, whom she had
decided to visit Prior to her depart
ure she asked to have her mail deliv-
cred to -. Jones, general delivery,
Stratford, CT"

ter after 10 days had elapsed during
which the letter was unclaimed. The
girls letters informed her parents that
she was very sick.
The authorities will exhume the dis.
membered corpse of the woman in or

Queer Streets of Manila.

The streets of Manila are SO modern
as to be quite out of keeping with the
general appearance of the town. They
are perfectly straight, macadamized,
and provided with ample granite walks.
Of these the Esconta and the Rosario
are the best. In both these are excellent
shops, kept principally by Chinese
merchants, most of whom come from
Annoy. Tin-roOfed houses line each
side of botn thoroughfares.

COURT AFTER RHEA.
An Order of Arrest Will Be Served on
the Actress When She Returns
to New York.

Rochester, April 15.-Mme. Rhea, the
actress, was today declared in contempt
of court by Justice Werner of the su-
preme court and a $3.50 fine was impos-
ed on her. Her arrest was not today
ordered, but as soon as the actress is
within the state a warrant will be
ready for her.
Nine Rhea's difficulties arose over
her failure to pay royalties on the play,
Josephine, Empress of the French,
which brought her a good share OF her
success. The play was written for
Rhea by A. r. Haven of this city.
year ago an action was begun to compel
her to keep up the payment of Qualities,
and the actress promised to pay $50
each week until the 81, Sol. so which she
owed was settled. She made just six
payments, and then she forgot all about
it Judgment was taken against her
for the amount named, but no salts
faction was obtained. The willy Rhea
was finally outwitted in Huntington, w.
Va. where an officer served an order
to show cause on her just as she was
stepping from her dressing room to the
footlights. Rhea did not obey the Or
der, nor has anything been heard of
her She was accordingly declared in
contempt of court.
The courts order does not reach her
outside the state, but Mr.. Ravens at
torney says that there is a warm re-
ception awaiting the actress when she
crosses the border of the Empire state.
She is now down south with her COM
pany but is engaged to play in several
cities in this state.

Wichita, April 15.-Judge Dale of the
district court rendered decision here to-
day which invalidates ali tax titles in
Sedgwick county secured by sales in the
years from 1891 to 1895.
The case was brought by George Lyons
to redeem a quarter section of land which
had been sold from him in 1898 for taxes
and was bought in by Florence Bowers,
who refused to allow, redemption. Lyons
filed his petition on the ground that the
curative act of the Kansas legislature le-
CALLING tax sales under the university
state tax of 1889. was unconstitutional for
the reason that the sco-State constitution
says no taxes shall be levied except by
direct authority of law, which shall state
specifically the general purpose of the
tax, and that no tax shall be levied for
a greater period than two years The uni
versity levy of 1889 was continuous, but ac
cording to the state constitution expired
after two years. Assessors made the
turns to conform with the act of 1889
through the three years from 1891 to 1895.
Judge Dale decided that tax deeds Sc
cured since 1891 therefore invalid.
