Now Said That He Turned Down c.
s. Briggs.

It is now claimed that President Nc
Kfnley made the change in the list of
census supervisors for Kansas by which
D. w. Eastman takes the place assign
ed to G. S. Briggs in the Fourth dis
trict.
Under the circumstances the friends
of Mr.. Eastman say there is no possi-
bility for his being defeated. He was a
eign city but there was no place to be
given him and an endorsement, it is
claimed, at the suggestion of the presi-
dent was last winter secured from the
Kansas congressman for Mr.. Eastman
for census supervisor.
1t is reported but not confirmed that
charges of an unirnportant nature have
been preferred against Briggs. East
mans friends claim the ability to pre-
vent Briggs nomination for the place
while the friends of Briggs assert that
Senator Baker will win the place for
the Usage county man.

A True CabalIcro.

Well in the middle of the grounds
stands General Anderson headquar-
ters. AS we went up the steps tall
man, rather shabbily dressed, preceded
us. We noticed his military bearing
and were told that he was the captain
of one of the Spanish men of-war which
lies with projecting spars at the bottom
of Cavite harbor. Following his foot
steps, we of necessity overheard what
he said to the generals aid:
"Senor, l borrowed some time ago,
5000 from Admiral Dewey to pay of
my men. / have come to repay th'
debt. 5"
He turned his profile toward us and
we noticed how thin he looked. He
must have starved himself to collect
the money. With very straight back,
he counted out the Spanish bills and
turned TO go.
"Will you not take receipt" asked
the aid of General Anderson.
Never from an officer, answered
the gray haired old gentleman, with u
courtly old fashioned bow.

tanned THE HUMMINGBIRD.
The Little Feathered Visitor AeAs .
Pet OF by Its Delighted
CAptOr.

Mr.. William Wicke. 4 grocer at the
corner of Lake street and Harlem ave-
nue.. Osk Park. is the proud possessor
of a tanned hummingbird, which few
into his place of business few weeks
ago, says q Chicago paper.
Mr.. wicke and his family were much
delighted to see such bright assort-
ment of colors come hitting in the win
dow. and decided TO make the bird their
prisoner. Mr.. Wicke at once started to
train the new member of the family by
placing honey In some flowers which
were in the show window II took the
bird but short time to know what
sweets the flowers contained, and il
soon flew down from its abode on one
of the shelves and devoured the honey
as II realizing that il Lad found home
which completely answered all the re-
quirements of hummingbird life. As
its education progressed. the bird
learned to eat honey from the end of
Mr.. Wicke's finger, whenever the
grocer dipped his digit in that sac
charine substance.
The unusual fact OF tame humming-
bird drew many people to Mr. Nickes $
store. and proved, finally, that under
meath the brilliant plumage of the gen
tle-iooking little creature there exists
a strain OF jealousy and fighting blood.
II was not brought out until woman
visited the store wearing hat in the
trimming of which nestled an artistic
ally upholstered" hummingbird. The
real thing" no sooner saw the imita-
tion. thnn the hat became a ring, in
which was fought pitched battle. as
intense as the humming bird could
make it.
When the fight was over, the store
was full OF feathers and the woman full
of wrath. Her anger was only placated
when pay was offered for the damage,
and she saw the ludicrous side of the
unusual battle.
