A SMALL BOYS BRAVE DEED.

Clinging desperately to the f5ed bag strap of one of Q team of runaway horses, q diminutive messenger boy Wednesday was dragged from nearly the middle of the block east Of Broad way to a point past Fifth avenue. The animal could not shake off the lads hold, however. and the plucky yourgs- ter brought the frightened team to a standStill just in time to save his own life. The daring deed was witnessed by several members of the Calumet club, as well as by many pedestrians, and steps will be taken to bring the matter formally before the supsrin- tendent of the American District mes senger service.
 An alarm of fire was received in the house of Engine No. 1 at 12: 30 o'clock, and in a moment the ponderous en- zine was rushing through the street. While 1t was on the other side of Broadway young Fox heard the clang ing bells and shrill whistles and ran out of the drug store to watch the firemen go by. The engines whistle was sounded just behind the feeding team They were frightened and dasIcd forward.
 The passage of the engine was blocked by the runaways, and ,he fire horses crashed into a street car, wrecking the dashboard, and were thrown, kicking and struggling, to the ground, breaking a trace. A little blue clad figure dashed from the sida- walk and clutched the strap of the runaway hc'-se nearest the sidewalk. He was jerked from his feet, and tE2n bounced on the pavement, but still held on Had the loose strap si Dped off the horses head. the boy would have fallen under the wheels.
 Across Fifth avenue the runaways dashed. It looked as if the boy would be Killed But the horse he held came to a stop within few feet Of carriage, bolting it's companion.-New Ynrl1 Herald.

ATTORNEYS FEES OF $31, ,5OO
McGrew, Watson & Watson Get Judg-
 ment for That Amount.

Kansas City, April 20.-A jury in the federal court at Topeka yesterday gave McGrew, Watson & Watson of Kansas City, Kan, a verdict for $31.- 800 attorneys fees in their suit against Wyandotte county. The or iginal amount sued fer was s60,000, but the jury cut the amount in twp and awarded $1,225 interest and $275 costs, making the total $31.5OO
 The firm of McGrew, Watson & Watson was employed in December, 1898, to defend WyandOste county's in teEests in numerous suits brought by eastern holders to enforce the collec- tion of certificates issued under the BuchaD road Improvement law fer the improvement of public roads in Wyandotte county. From 1896 to that time $640,00O of certificates had been issued for the improvement of the roads adjacent to Kansas City, Kan, and sold tc broke-s and capitalists. Under the law one-third of this amount was chargeaible to the coun- ty to be paid for by general taxation, while the other two-thirds was levied in assessments against the property within one-half mile on either side of the roads improved. The property owners repudiated the assessments and by injunction proceedings pre- vented their collection. They also had the law under which dhe improve ments were made declared unconstitu- tional
 The next step in the litigation was a move on the part of twenty-one of the holders of the certificates and interest coupons (amounting to s253, ,O00) to attempt to enforce collection from the county. McGrew, Watson & Watson, after a fight of nearly seven yaars in the state and federal courts, finally wen every one of the cases and the holders of the certificates were left to hold the sack
 The law firm at the close of the lit igation last June put in a claim for $60,000 attorneys fees, which was re- jected by the county commissioners. The suit in the federal court followed, and by the introduction of the test1- mony of many of the leading lawyers in the west as to the value of sucn legal service the firm secured aver dict. McGrew, Watson 6 Watson were represented by Hutchings G Keplinger, Scroggs & McFadden and several other Kansas City, Kan, law yers. F. D. Mills and Winfield Free man were chief counsel fo- the county.

E. A. ABBET's PICTURE-THE BEST

This years Royal academy promises to be one of the most commonplace shows for years and the New Gallery will not be much better. There wi1i be exceptions, and chief among these will be found the pictures of the li:- tie band of American painters who have settled hera. The picture of the year, so far as subject pictures are concerned, will be signed E. A Abbev. It is a large canvas, on which is shown the trial of Queen Catherine. Also lutely untheatrical, it is yet finely dra- matic. J. s. S3rgert also sends some striking portraits. J. J. Shannon, too, has many fine portraits Cf Lander wO- men. G. H. Boughton will stand forth prominently, too. Frank Miller has rushed home from his var cOrraspOn
 dents duties at Manila and has paint ed one of the best pictures he ever offered. He las gone to Kipling for a motive, and shows a traveller Sur- rounded by trophies of the far east. Edwin Austin Abbey is one of the few American artists who have been hon ored with membership in the Royal academy of London. MT. Abbey was born in Philadelphia in 1852 and learned the beginnings of his ar, in the Philadelphia academy of fine arts. and ln 1876 he became member of the American Water Color soci:ty. In 1878 he went to England and has lived there since that time. He was elected a member of the Royal institute of painters in water colCCs in 1883. and in 1896 an associate of the Royal acad- emy. As an artist in black and white MT Abbey long enjoyed an enviabae reputation. It was, however, his fine series of pictures from the More d'Arthur,' which he painted to dec crate the Boston free library. tnaT gave him his standing as n painter Three years ago he exhibited his Richard H." and it was this superb work perhaps more than any other that won the full honors of member ship in the academy last year. Few painters in wI3ter colors are more highly esteemed in England and America than is MT. Abbey.-London Gable to New York Sun.

HAM, JR.. IS CHRIsTENED.

If Ham, IT,, the baby orang-outang at the zoo, fails to stay close to the path of rect.tUde it will be no fault of his foster parents. Ham, Jr, was christened last night while a crowd of hundred looked on and applauded in way that might have broken up such another occasion. Ham was dressed Tn white gown, so long that it was something of an annoyance to Prof Max Johnson, who acted as minister. It was all new to Ham, but his face were a solid air of gravity that indi- cated not that the turn had never been rehearsed. The professor said:
 Tn the sign Of the Cross l baptize thee Ham, Jr., in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost"
 Ham made no sign to show his thoughts on the proceedings, but he rebelled when the water was sprinkled over him, throwing his arms cut and clutchinS the minister, startled and shaking his head with annoyance. He was appeased by his godmother, Mme. Louise Moreli, who gave him a small portion of milk. Alexander Day act ed as gOdfather.-Kansas- City Star.
