THERE has been a great deal Of
kicking over the Sunnyside foot bridge
by the people who have put up their
money and the people who have not
coughed. The contractor has finish
ed it SO that it can be completed in a
very short time and is now resting on
his oars waiting until the money re-
manning due on it can be collected.
When the money is in his hand he
will complete the job and throw the
structure open to the public. 1t is
not known when this will be done.

The Photographer,

THE blood hounds which were re-
ceived at the penitentiary short
time ago, are now being trained at
the institution. The past week one
or two of the convicts were taken
out and given a good start af-
ter which the, hounds were turned
loose. Both men were soon located
and each climbed up a tree out of
reach of the dogs. This practice
will be continued until the hounds
are sure to be of good use, which
will make it an impossibility for
convicts to escape in the future.

A MAN high up In life insurance
circles is authority for the statement
that the big insurance companies are
paying out enormous suicide claims
just now. "The public has no appre-
citation, /" he said, "of the magnitude
of business done by these gigantic
corporations. The number OF deaths
resulting from suicide last year is
greater than ever known in the his
! tory of life insurance. I estimate the
payments last year on suicide claims
alone reached an average of nearly

DWARF BEASTS OF THE ORIENT.
Some Midget Animals That Live in
Our New Possessions in the Philip

From the Washington Evening Star.
Another freak beast which will excite
curiosity in our geological gardens is
the tamarau, a dwarf buffalo found in
the forests of Mindoro of the Philip
pine group. 1t is a stunted form Of the
Old World buffalo, not Of the American
bison 1t sometimes occurs high up in
the mountains. 1t tunnels pathways
through the thick bamboo undergrCWth
covering the mOuntansides above 5000
feet Hunters must go upon hands and
knees to follow these trails. The abor-
icines never hunt this little beast, being
deathly afraid nf it.
The midget Philippine squirrel is an
other odd creature. 1t is about the size
of mouse, has legs longer in proper
tiOn than those of the ordinary Squir-
rel, larger eyes and rounded ears. A
large brown rat, gray underneath and
with a squirrel-like head and eyes, but
black, cord-ike tail, is of still greater
interest from an evolutionary point Of
view 1t is discovered to be the last
link long needed to complete the chain
of relationship between the true rat
and the water rate. a wild pig, dig
nihed by the name Of "Sus celebensis
Philippinensis," is found throughout
the whole Philippine group, 1t is ex-
ceedingly exclusive during the day,
when it hides i'm the forests, but sallies
gayly forth during the night into the
native maize and rice fields, whore it
does much damage. The natives call
this badly beloved pig "Eabui."
The Philippines will also contribute a
giant fruit-eating hat. All American
bats, of course, subsst entirely upon
insects, and are provided with sharp
teeth with which to nip them. The
fruit-eating bat of these islands is lar
ger than Il rat, has long head and
blunt teeth. 1t makes nightly inroads
upon the banana plantations and other
fruit preserves. During the day it
sleeps hanging head downward from a

that the life Of Daniel was In jeopardy.
It was no small matter to lose a compe-
tent and faithful officer whose abilities
had commanded the highest place, withal
n good man who might be trusted in all
things. 1t was more to be regretted that
this officer must die because of his reli-
gious duty. and that the decree of DEATH
so senseless in itself, was issued by the
king. Besides, all this had come about
through the connivlng of those whose
motive was apparent, and no one could
tell where such conspiracy might end, or
who might be the next victim. All day
long the king sought some way by which
to avoid the result of his edict, dis
pleased with himself at his own folly

down the officers again appeared before
him, and reminded him of the incxorable
character of all papers that issued from
the throne. an intlmation that to falter
now would be to endanger his govern
