Handling IL Cobra.

When I went to the sailor, he held
in his hand very old and ragged rice
bag. He said, eve got fine singing
fellow here for you" 1 asked what he
meant, so he opened the bag and showed
me one of the largest and fiercesG look
ing cobras 1 had ever seen. 1 obtained
a large fish globe, into which told him
to drop the serpent, bag and all, and
then secured the top. 1 asked him how
he became possessed of this dangerous
creature.
Caught it among some timber, !"
said he, ION board ship at Blackwell,
just home from India. - ''And how did
you get here with it in that old rag? p
"Well," said he, 81 took the train from
Blackwell and the omnibus from Fen
church street, and he (,neaning the
snake) was quite quiet all the way. .
''What do you want for it2'' ''Ten
shillings and my expenses. Which l
paid. He asked me if 1 would take an
other if he caught it, as he had seen
one larger than the one he had brought
with him.-Bartlett's "Wild Animals

A Well Pleased Audience.

The packed house which greeted the
famous Melbourne Mcdowell and his
strong company at the opera house last
night in ''La Tosca," were frequently
reminded of Fanny Davenport in the
acting of Miss Blanche
port who first introduced
LA Tosca" into this country and
theater goers thought that no
one could possibly equal her acting in
the role 'tFloria Toscs," those who
witnessed Miss Walsh's version of this
difficult role last night however, left
the opera house convinced that she
was in some portions of the play even
stronger than the famous Davenport
Her support in the person of
Melbourne Mcdowell was perfect and
the same might be said of the entire
cast of characters.
Every seat in the opera house was
taken and the applause was deafening
at times. The audience was dismissed
at lilo we'll pleased with the produc-
ton of Sardou's intense and interest
ing play LA Tosca.''

WANTS A DIVORCE.
Nellie Bly's Millionaire Husband Is
Anxious to Be Freed From the
Sensational Newspaper Writer.

Three wears ago Robert Seaman, an
elderly New York millionaire, employ
ed detectives to shadow his wife, who
previous to her marriage was sensa-
tional newspaper writer known as
"Nellie Bly," MIR. Seaman wished to
secure divorce. He is now in trout BILE
with the detectives, who claim that
they have not been paid.
Several years ago when"Nellle Bly,

reporter was sent out on the train to
meet her between here and Deming
and obtained q column interview on
the way to Ell PasO.
Nellie was formerly all the rage
among the Yellow Journals OF the
northeast and she could not supply
the heavy demand for her productions.
Her specially was in placing herself in
strange situations and then writing her
experience for the papers. Once she
made trip around the world alone
and unprotected in an Incredibly short
time for New York paper. Another
time she pretended to be insane and
got herself shut up in q mad house,
which had long been acted for its cor =

female patients by male keepers.
While locked in her cell ''Nell1e

DONA ANA COUNTY QUAIL.
We're Sold at Albuquerque And the
PARTIES We're Prosecuted And
Fined.

Judge Ribble's decision in the quail
case is very forcible reminder of the
fact that some of our laws are fearful
ly and wonderfully made-for we take
it for granted that the decision was ac-
cording to law, since Judge Ribble is
au able aud careful man, and took spe-
cial pains in this case to inform him
self before giving his judgment, but
his decision serves to warn US that the
law, like a gun, is most dangerous
when we think it isn't loaded. AS the
case will probably become historic, we
record here syllabus of it while it is
fresh:
1t Is unlawful in New Mexico to kill
quail at this time of the year, but the
birds had become so numerous in Dona
Ana county that they were threaten
ing the crops, and the governor of the
territory, by special proclamation, sus-
pended the law so far as that county
was concerned, and gave every one
permission to go in aud kill. The de-
PENDANT is the proprietor of a restau-
rant in Albuquerque, aud he bought
some of the birds thus killed by su-
thority of the governor. ard served
them upon his tables. For this he was
arrested on the charge of viola tin q
the game laws, and this court, after
a careful consideration of the matter
decided that the right 10 kill did not
carry with it the right to sell or buy,
and that the parties who had killed
these birds according to the governor 8
proclamation, hal violated the law in
selling them, and the defendant had
also violated the law in buying them.
and was accordingly fined in the sum of
twenty-five dollars.
By the same token, we presume, if
any of the parties in Dona Ana county
who killed 0uails undar
the governors proclamation
had taken them home and eaten
them, they would have been liable 10
punishment under the game law, for if
the right to kill did not carry the righ
to sell or buy. it certainly could net
carry the right to eat, since that is q
broader privilege than either of the
others.
The whole case serves to illustrate
in a very forcible manner the truth of
the great legal maxim which says, SIT
makes great difference in the law
whether you say. come out here, Nc
Carthy, or Mccarthy, come out here,''

LIVE ELECTRIC WIRE
Fell Last Night And Coiled Itself
Across the Street, ViCiously Spit
tinQ And Sputterinq.

AT 1870 o'clock last night a live elect
rio wire broke and fell to the ground at
the southwest corner of the Sheldon
building opposite Smith 5 creamery.
The wire twisted and rolled across
the street, viciously splitting and sput-
teriug white sparks of lightning
wherever it touched the ground. For
a time the street was completely block
ed.
Fortunately the live wire was dis
covered soon after it fell and half
dozen men got on both sides of it to
keep back the crowd and to warn pc
destrians and the occupants OF vehic-
les. It was no trouble to do this, for as
soon as an approaching person became
aware of the certain death lying across
his path he was quick to jump back
and keep beyond the danger line.
The wire was finally gotten out of
the way st the end of half hour by
one of the employees of the light COM
pany.

Weight of a Lion.

What does a lion weigh? Those who
know the look of the king of beasts best
and how small his little body really is
will probably come farthest from the
truth. About 800 to $50 pounds is a
usual estimate. But full grown lion
will tip the scales at no less than 500
pounds. Five hundred and forty pounds
is the record for an African lion. His
bone is solid and heavy as ivory.
The tiger runs the lion very close. A
Bengal tiger, killed two years ago by
an English officer, scaled $40 pounds.
A tiger this size has, however, ccnsid-
cradle more muscular strength than the
biggest lion.

As Discovered.

An alarm of fire was turned in at
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon from
the Center Block hotel. The depart
ment responded promptly but the fire
had bean extinguished before the ar
rival of the fireman.
It was then ascertained that slight
blaz had started in the back yard of
the hotel among lot of old papers by
some person who carelessly dropped a
lighted match among them.
AS high wind was blowing at the
time it was feared that should the fire
gain any Roadway the flames would
spread rapidly and serious conflagra-
ton ensue. Fortunately the blaze was
stif1ed in its incipiency.
