INDIAN AND TIGER.
a Clever Trick by which the Former Out
witted the Latter.

"htth
According TO good and true tiger
story in Cornhill, an Indian who had
learned some of the elementary princi-
pies of jugglery and contortion went
out one evening to walk upon u rdgy
plain. When he reached the top of one
of the mounds, he saw tiger ahead Of
him, 800 or 600 yards away. Before
the man could hide behind mound the
tiger had seen him and began to- bound
toward him at its topmost speed.
Having no means of defense, there
was nothing for the man to do but Ito
race for tho nearest tree, hut though he
tried it and put forth his utmost
strength the tiger steadily gained upon
him.
What was he to do? In sheer despera
ton he resolved upon an unusual
scheme. Just MS he disappeared for nm
instant from the tigers sight in run
ming over ridge he halted. stretched
out his legs ut right angles, eurled
down his head SO us To look between his
legs to the rear and extended his arms
upward i'll fantastic manner, like the
sails of windmill.
In n few seconds the tiger hove iii
sight, and at that instant tho face of
the object assumed a hideous grimace.
A prolonged yell arose, such ms had per-
haps never before pierced the ear of any
tiger, and the sails of the windmill be-
gan to revolve backward and forward
as if sudden whirlwind had burst

Carrier pigeons iii China are protect
ed from birds of prey by Il little appa-
ratus consisting of thin bamboo tubes
fastened to the birds bodies with thread
pass.d beneath the wings. As the pigeon
flies along the action of the air through
the tubes produces shrill whistling
sound. which keeps birds of prey ut u

Statement By Superintendent Bir-
 mingham,
 Saturday morning Superintendent Birmingham of the Bridgeport police gave out an official statement, in which it was stated that it was known to the police that Harry Oxley, one of the Southington young men arrested Fri day, was responsible for Emma Gill's condition and that he arranged with Nancy Guilford to perform an abortion upon the Gill girl. The statement fur ther was to the effect that the police knew the girl died in Dr. Guilford's house two weeks ago Saturday night and that the body was cut up in the bath tub in the Guilford house the next day, that on the night after the body was cut up, Mrs. Guilford hired a team at livery stable, that the head and legs were placed in that carriage which was driven to the Bishop avenue cut, Harry Guilford leading the way on his bicycle, that on arriving at the bridge Harry Guilford threw the package into the pond, and that Mrs. Guilford's daughter, Eudora, who was arrested in Wellsburg, N r., Saturday morning, assisted in dtsposing of the remains Superintendent Birmingham states that Howard Guernsey is not guilty, but was Oxley'a friend and confidant and made the mistake of not telling what he knew. Saturday morning Harry Guil- ford was arraigned in the city court in Bridgeport on a charge of attempting to procure an abortion on Emma Gill. The case was continued for one week and young Guilford was held without bail Walter c. Foster w& discharged from custody Superintendent Bir- mingham thinks that Mrs. Guilford is now near Wellsburg, N. Y, and is not in Europe. Guernsey was released Sat- urday under $500 bonds.

THE IDOLS EYE

"The Idols Eye" which will be seen here at the Hyperion Saturday after noon and evening, is novel and pictur- esque In the play MT. Daniels saves a man from drowning and gets legally punished for his good act This comes because the man whose life he saved was trying to commit suicide, and by force of Hindoo law is legally dead though living, and his rescuer is deemed guilty of any crime the legally dead man may commit. This is a never teasing source of fun throughout the opera. In addition to this MT. Daniels is made to impersonate a Hindoo idol, and to figure as an English soldier of the Tommy Atkins sort. A source of much merriment, ,also,is that all the wo- men adore him when he has his coat on and detest him when he takes it off, owing to the love power of the idols eye, concealed in a pocket of his coat. Sale of seats opens Thursday. Prices, 75c, $1 and $1.56.

THE MAN O WARS MAN AT THE
 HYpERIQN TO-NIGHT

THE MAN O WARS MAN AT THE
 HYPERION TONIGHT.
 ''The Man O Wars Man" will be pre- scented at the Hyperion tonight. This realistic play has not been overestimat- ed, and as rule the company is un- usually well balanced and everything about it is well one. The leading char acters impersonate modern and reason- able people and it is and easy natural ly enjoyable. It is a pretty naval drama, the plot treating of scenes how tain, with the usual love thread run ming through it and the customary com- edy singing and dancing introduced. Americas premier actor of heroic juv- emile parts, Thomas F. Shea, supported by the talented young actress, Flora Fairchild, and a superb company. The war between the United States and Spain has proved a fruitful theme for the pen of the playwright. The Boston
 
 Herald says: In the last act of the Man O Wars Man is realistic naval battle. The United States warship New Orleans and the Spanish Scorpion are plainly seen fighting in the harbor of Corinto. There is the distant boom- ing of cannon, the smoke from the guns, the flashes of light after every report and the disaster to the rigging of both vessels. As the fight proceeds the New Orleans shows her superiority. The main mast of the Scorpion topples over, a cannon ball pierces her bow and fin- ally the Spanish warship sinks beneath the waves, while the excited spectators cheer for the victorious New Orleans" :"
