ANIMAL COLONlSTS.
Foreign Cattle Taking the Place o.
Common Domestics.

Foreign Cattle Taking the Place OF
Common Domestics.
During the last few years the demand
for pedigree English cattle for Argen-
tina has been enormous. Shorthorns,
Herefords ara Dcvons have been i'm
ported weekly, and cross-bred English
stock now fills the "corra.s" of the
great beef and bovril companies of the
River Plate. In North America this
Anglicizing process has spread to all
the states of the union. Half-bred
Herefords and shorthorns are taking
the place of the common cattle of the
states on nearly all the ranches of the
bcef-producing districts, and he'colon-
ling capacity of different English
breeds is recommending them for spe-
cial districts. Thus the Devon bulls
are purchased for ranches where the
search for pasture and water needs spe-
cial activity and endurance, and red
''polled" or hornless Suffolks are used
where cattle are being bred for transit
by rail or ship, because the absence of
horns is then convenient. Even trop-
ical Brazil foLows the fashion, and
English Jersey cows are seen demurely
walking through the forest paths by
the coffee plantations, and English ter
riers and pug dogs sit on the laps of
Brazilian ladies.
Whether the Jersey cattle will multi
ply on the planters estates time will
show, but the spread of our colonizing
animals, which are now invading stimuli
taneously the plains of Patagonia and
the North Canadian territory, does not
Limit its progress to the direction of the
poles. In India the English horse be-
comes a colonist By second intention.
in the form of the ''waler," a sounder
and stronger animal than the majority
of British hackneys. His value, as
compared with the native breeds of
Asia, is still undetermined, but we mus t
accept his presence and survival as a
fact.-London Spectator

"ALARM FRITZ"
One of the Nicl<narces by Which EN-
peror william Is Known.

The Berliners and the Germans in
general delight in giving nichnames to
their popular idols or antipathies. These
nicknames are not always flattering to
their owners, and there have been
Hohenzollerns less popular than En-
peror William, who is not afraid to ask
for his popular sobriquet. He proved
this at a regimental dinner at which
the duke of Connaught and Prince
Henry were present. In the course OF
conversation the kaiser said:
t"They call me the travelling kaiser,
don't they? wonder if that's the eonly
nickname I've got?"
prince Henry laughed, and Maj. Won
Plesson, unable to control himself,
joined him.
'What is it?' asked the emperor.
do you know of amy other nickname
If so, ont with it"
The major mumbled something about
his respect, but the emperor said:
"Well, if you don't want to do it to
please me, command you to speak"
The major then confessed that the
emperor was known among the com
mon soldiers as "Alarm Fritz" on ac-
count of his habit of suddenly, in the
middle of the night, rousing the gar
risons OF the town in which he might
be staying. The emperor laughed heart,
lily at this, and Prince Henry remarked
to his brother:
"Well you have similar name in
the navy. The boys call you 'GondoM
Biny,' for 'gondoling' about, as they
call it. on your ships constantly during
the summer, and being anywhere and
everywhere on the boats"
"Well," said the emperor, 'ethose are
three fine nicknames; but, inasmuch
rs all Of them paint me as busy man
!. rather like them. Boston Traveller

This is the day on which the
people Of America from the shiver-
ing pine forests Of the far off state
of Maine to the limpid waters Of
the Mexican gulf; and from the
snow capped mountains Of Oregon
TO the sun-kissed meadows of Louis
lana, will offer up their thanks to
Him, who is the giver of all good
things, for the many blessings that
have been showered upon us dur
ing the year which is just now in its
decline. It is not within the prov
nee Of this article to enumerate the
many things that the people Of
America as nation, have to be
thankful for, for to do this would
require ream upon ream OF paper
and gallon after gallon of ink. It
is therefore only from a purely To-
cal standpoint that we wish to call
the attention of the readers of THE
COMMERCIAL to a few Of the many
blessings that they have to be
thankful for.
First and foremost we have es-
pecial cause for thankfulness in the
fact that, although during the past
few months yellow fever has invad-
ed many of the neighboring towns
and cities; that we have escaped
the ravages OF the dread disease,
and can still lay claim to the proud
distinction Of being the healthiest
city in the state. We have cause
for thankfulness in the fact that
though times are hard and money
scarce that our farmers are in an
unusually prosperous condition and
are being paid the same prices for
their cotton that are being paid by
the brokers of New Orleans and
Mobile. Again we have cause for
thankfulness in the fact that that
grand old institution OF learning,
that institution which is the pride of
the state and the peer of any school
in the country, the Industrial Insti-
tute and College has emerged from
the sea of discord and disscension,
which has for so long surrounded it,
and has just started on what prom
ises to be its most prosperous ses-
sion.
IT'S true that during the past
twelve months the grim reaper,
Death has visited some of the hap
piest homes of our city, and has
taken loved ones from the family
circle, leaving in their place only
grief and desolation. To those who
have been thus afflicted we can on
ly offer our sincere and heartfelt
sympathies, and venture the hope
that in the friends and loved ones
who are lef. behind they may still
find much cause for thankfulness.

DIVORCE DECREED.

Inzthe Supreme Judicial court yester-
day forenoon a hearing was had before
Judge Strout in the matter of libel for
divorce of Clara Fl. Griffin, formerly
Clara FL. Mallet against her husband
Philip B. Griffin, both of Freeport; the
allegations in the libel were for cruel and
abusive treatment and gross and con-
frmed habits of intoxicat1on. W. Euwin
Ulmer, Esq, appeared for Clara H.
Griffin, and Messrs. Frank and Larrabee
for Philip B. Griffin. There was large
number of witnesses present from Free
port including several ladies who had
come to sestify in behalf of Mrs. Griffin.
A jury trial had been claimed by the re-
spondent and at the opening OF court the
jury were in their panel. Mr.. Griffin ap-
peared in court accompanied by his friend
John L. Oxnard, but no witnesses were
present in his behalf. There was some
conference between the counsel and the
court after which trial by the jury was
waived and the jury was excused. Hear
ing was then commenced upon which Mr..
Griffin left the court room. The divorce
was decreed upon the grounds of "cruel
and abusive treatment " Upon petition
of Clara H. Griffin her name was then
changed by order of court to Clara HI.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

BEFORE JUDGE BONNEY.
Monday In the Superior court this
afternoon, the defendants motion for
new trial, in the case of State VS.. Day
was taken up. The principal ground upon
which the defendant. relies, is the YER
dict of the jury is manifestly against
the weight of evidence in the case. MT.
Lyons claimed that no testimony in the
part of the government had been offered
tending to connect Day with the com
mission of this crime, except the test1-
mony of Rounds; and that Rounds's men
tai condition made his statements abso-
lutely worthless. He saidshe did not be-
Iieve that respondent had ever been
convicted in this court upon the unsup-
ported testimony of such a weak minded
person as Rounds. He claimed that the
testimony of the mother was lie from
beginning to end, and that the govern
ment would not dispute it, He claimed
further that the defense had clearly
proved an alibi sufficiently at least to
raise a reasonable doubt of the respon-
DENTS guilt.
Judge Bonney will probably render his
decision in the case tomorrow.
