HyenRs Fought to the Death,

Kakim and Kekker lived together in
ailty for fourteen years. Then they
tell out on the question of food, and
now Kicker is in the hospital and
kakim ought to be there.
They are hyenas in the Philadelphia
Zoo. Hyenas are always hungry, so
those who make a study of the inter-
esting animals say. These, though
imported direct from Africa at a cost
Of $500 each, had all the hunger of
their kind, and the other morning
when Kakim managed to gulp his own
food down in amazingly short time, he
turned his attention to. his comrades.
Then began fight which is described
as the flercest, loudest and most bloody
that the Zoo has ever seen.
The combatants were separated be-
fore they had quite killed each other,
but authorities on hyenas say that
they would resume it Immediately were
they ever put together again.

Mr.. WI, the Chinese Minister, was
a guest at the last Gridiron Club div.
ner in Washington, and was at first
somewhat puzzled regarding the fun
that always goes with Gridiron din
ner. When one Of the members stop
ped the winner to complain OF the soup
and the President demanded that the
soup pot be brought in, to see what
gave the peculiar taste complained OF,
Mr.. WI looked serious and inquired Of
his neighbor if the trouble could not be
adjusted without breaking up the din
ner. He saw the hotel proprietor
brought in, and then the soup pot, and
he expected to see trouble over the
dinner before it was served But
when the President of the club flshed
out a civil service reform bill from
the pot as the source of the complaint
against the soup, the Chinese Minister
saw the humor of the affair and from
that moment there was no guest who
caught on quicker or enjoyed more
the jokes Of the Gridiron than did he.

THE $4,000 A STARTER
ESTIMATE FOR WHITE RIVER M
PROVEMENT NOT YET FIXED
VIII Take $1,000 to Convert Davidson
Property Into a Park-The
Kirkland Place.

Park Engineer Power was asked yester-
day for an estimate of the amount of money
it will cost TO create the White river park
system. He replied that it is impossible to
estimate the cost of the system. There is
now about $4,000 with which to improve al
the park land This amount, Mr.. Power
says. will only be a starter 1t is the in
tention, however. to make the improvements
permanent that are possible with the small
amount of money at hand. 1t is expected the
White river park system will cost the city
$j01,000 during the next twenty-five years, If
it is improved up to the standard of similar
park systems in other cities.
The plans for the White river system will
Pogue run parks are improved. Five sur
veyors are now working on the Pogue's run
land. The Davidson property will have cost
the city s. 900 to convert it into park when
the improvements are finished. The improve
ments on the Kirkland property will cost
1882. The plans provide for walks. a foun-
tain, vegetation and electric lights. There is
not enough money to lay cement walks.
Park Engineer Power does not believe in
gravel walks. He says people will not walk
on new gravel walks. The triangular park
in West Indianapolis is being provided with
walks of screenings from broken stone. An
increased lawn surface is being gained in
this park by dispensing with sidewalks
around it. A fountain basin is to be built in
the center, but until sewer is laid nearer
to the park no fountain will be set in the

BEST YIELD IN YEARS.
What the Crop Bureau Says of Indi-

The following is summary of the weekly
crop bulletin issued by the Indiana bureau:
VERY favorable weather continued for
harvesting and farm work; much sunshine
and warm weather ct the beginning of the
end. Scattered light local rains fell on the
Sth in the western and northern portions,
but. in general, rain is needed for corn, po-
tatoes, berries, vegetables and pasturage
Corn continued to grow well and rapidly; it
has a fresh, green color, the stalks are
large. it begins to silk and taSSel and near
ly all of it is laid by the prospect for an
excellent corn crop is very good. Oats are
ripening rapidly in good condition, promis
ing an average crop, the heads are we'll
filed but the straw. in general, is short
Apparently. but little tobacco has been set
out; in Dubois county it is in fine condition !:
in Ohio county it has not grown much. Good
rye and wheat crops are in shock, and
threshIng continued uninterruptedly.
Most correspondents still agree that the
wheat crop is the largest yield and of the
best quality for many years, and compare
lively speaking only few fields have been
injured by the fly and rust, and the guam
tity and quality diminished Haying con-
tinues and great and good crops are secured
have been cut in most localities, while in
some fields the harvest has not yet begun.
Potatoes need rain; early potatoes yield
well. Field beans did not come up well in
some localities, but all vegetables cab
bages, tomatoes, melons and onions grew
well and promise good crops. Pasturage
needs rain. Live stock is healthy and in
good condition. In the central portion
stock water is getting scarce in localities
