CRUELTY IN BULL RING.
Bull Defeats n Panther, Lioness
and Bear in a Brutal Fight
at Madrid.

A dispatch to the London Standard
from Madrid says that a disgraceful
scene occurred in the bull ring there
Twelve thousand spectators witnessed
struggle between a small panther and
an old lioness, large bear and power
full bull. The bull soon terribly gored
the panther and lioness. The bear gave
the bull more trouble. 1t received sew

bad wounds, from which the blood
flowed freely, before it gave in. The

bulls victory that they scarcely no.

keeper to goad the beasts when at first
they did not show fight. Twenty per-

Recently army officers were Inn
pressed by the reports of so-ca1ned

vented by Virginia ian, @. g. Gull
Gen. Miles talked with the inventor
and decided that the board OF ord

proving ground which Cullen said he
owned in the village of sBuckton The
invention embraced the use of ball
bearings in the bore Of a gun to take
the place Of the rifiing and to- add to

some extent, and would contribute to-

Cullen's invention. That person has.
had some dealings with a number Of.
private ordnance concerns, who have
complained that he failed to meet the

bought, among other things rapid

roof of his house with the idea Of at

WILD CAREER OF A FRIGATE.
An Old-Fashioned Vessel Breaka
from Her Moorings for u
Stampede.

The oldfashioned 50-gun frigate
Franklin, anchored in mid-stream off
the Norfolk navy yard, broke loose from
her mornings during the terrific CO.
mile-an-hour gale that prevailed the
other night and in mad career about
the southern branch of the Elizabeth
r1verra mmed and banged against every
thing in sight. She has been anchored
for many years, and, while the heavy
mud hooks held fast, the deck cleats
to which the anchor chains were at
tached broke loose and liberated the
crazy old hulk, which, without en-
gines or adequate steering gear,
rammed the wharf at St. Helena bat
terry, across the river, made wild at
tempts to butt down stone sea walls,
and was just caught in time by the
navy yard tugs.
Several weeks work upon her will be
necessary to repair the damage she in
ficted upon herself.

SURGICAL SCIENCE IN TEST.
a Strange Freak of Nature to Be Re-
stored IF Possible to Its
Natural Form.

DR.. Labarre Jayne Leamy, of Phil
adelphia, is arranging with a number
of prominent surgeons to perform
what promises to be one of the most
interesting surgical operations that
has ever come under the notice of
medical practitioners. It consists in
removing from Laloo, the double
bodied Indian, the singular incubus
that has chung to him since birth.
The growth springs from the vicinity
Of LaIoo's breast bone and is a we'll
developed female body, with the eN
centon Of the head. 1t is about two
feet in size and every organ is nor
NAL, the circulation being the same
as that Of Laloo's body.
In speaking Of the contemplated OPP
Grafton, DR.. Leamy said: Il regard
the severance Of the growth attached
to Laloo as quite feasible from a sur
gical point of view. [ have consulted
several distinguished surgeons of this
city and it seems to be the general
opinion that the operation will be sue
cessful. The necessary arrangements
will be made, the Indian now being
on his way to Philadelphia
Laloo is an East Indian and was
born in Oudh 20 years ago. He is a
man of considera BILE education and is
credited with having made large sums
exhibiting as a freak. The reason for
his desire to be relieved of this growth
is that he is DESTROYS of wedding a
young woman whose parents object to
his present condition.

THE BLOW THAT CURED.
Whose Mind Was Cleared by the
Fracturing of His Skull.

Surgeons and specialists in mental
diseases will be deeply interested in the
case of Frederick Barto, an aged resi-
dent OF somerville, N. j. Barto has
lived for five days, though the front of
his skull was torn away and it's base
fractured by a locomotive which struck
him. He remains conscious, and even
more surprising, before the accident
Barto was paralytic walked with diff
fieulty, supporting himself on crutch
and cane. He was inclined to be mel
ancholy. His mind was not clear. But
now, after a frightful blow on the head,
Barto's intellect is unclouded and he
talks with much more intelligence than
he has displayed for years. His ply
sicians hope for his ultimate recovery.

a STORY @ 3 SOCIETY
Said That Mrs. Languy Appealed to-
Wales ii an Extremity.
He Promises to Aid Mrs. AAtOr's
Daughter In London II She in b
Turn Will Favor the
Actress. I.-55s..S

It was said that Mrs. Langtry had
permitted the statement to be made
public that the prince of Wales re-
quested Mrs. Astor to head the list of
patronesses of Mrs. Langtry's bazaar at
Sherrys. In other words, it is given out
that Mrs. Langtry asked Mrs. Astor to
be patroness and that Mrs. Aston
promptly declined the honor. So the
actress at once appealed to her friend
the prince, who has helped her out of
a predicament. -.-.E z".;@s@
Mrs. George Ogilyy Haig, Mrs. As
tors daughter, is in London. She used
to be Mrs. Coleman Drayton, and her
present husband is a whisky mer-
chant. London does not care to meet
"persons in trade" but Mrs. Astor is
very anxious for her daughter to get
into society there. So the story runs
the prince has promised Mrs. Aston
West, Mrs. Arthur Paget and others
OF the swell set in London will call
on Mrs Haig at his request. In other
words, it is reported that Mrs. Aston
has changed her mind about Mrs.
Langtry's bazaar because Mrs. Lang
try arranged with the prince of Wales
for Mrs. Astor's daughter to be given
the recognition her mother is so eager
for her to have.
"The story is falsehood from be-
ginning to end" said Mrs. Langtry.
The women of New York society are
heartily in earnest in their desire to
help a good cause, and I think that
this is poor time to spring such a
stupid falsehood. There is absolutely

REPEAL THE WAR TAX.

March 10, 1900, the U. s. Treasury
had on hand as shown by the Off
cial statement a net cash balance of
over three hundred million dollars.
The government receipts, in excess
of all expenses for eight months prior
to April 1st were over sixty twoand
one-half million dollars, or an aver
age of nearly eight million dollars
per month. At tins rate money is
being taken out of circulation and
concentrated in the vaults of the U.
S. Treasury in the enormous sums of
ninety six millions dollars per year,
and for what purpose or usageP
This concentration Of the circulating
medium cannot fail to result, very
materially, detrimental to business
at large.
In his letter to congress, Jan. 10,
1900, the Secretary of the Treasury
said: "The revenues are now exceed
ing disbursements from month to
month, and seem likely te do so for
an Indefinite time. This condition
would be Inennce to the business
world if assurances were not given
that this surplus would be diverted
from the treasury vaults to public
repositories where, while secure to
the government it would remain
available to business use :"
The existence of over three hund-
red million dollars in cash means
that the government has not only
the required gold reserve, as per the
law just passed but also one hund-
red and fifty million of dollars over
and above all exper ses, and still the
government is collecting taxes on
checks, deeds, mortgages, medicines,
perfumes, bills of lading, kilograms,
money orders, ETC., levying upon the
people an unjust, harassing, oppres-
slve tax. What possible excuse can
there now be for Congress refusing
to repeal this unjust stamp tax upon
business documents, medicines, toi-
let articles, etc? Think about it |!
Since July 1, 1S99 there has gone
into the public treasury an average
daily surplus of two hundred and
seventy Thousand dollars, and it is
increasing from day to day, and now
that the government does not need
the money, why continue it and ta1

THE BUTTER INDUSTRY.

The Philadelphia North American
Monday exposed what it claims to
be conspiracy to break down the pure
butter industry of this State. 1t de-
tails how it operated store for the
sale of oleomargerine for over two
months, sold thousands of pounds Of
oleo' as pure butter at a profitofnear-
ly 100 per cent, and that the Illegal
business was carried on with the full
knowledge, consent and connivance
of the officials of the State govern
ment. 1t alleges that by paying If
cents a pound, to a certain dealer, or
one cent more than the regular price,
its store secured "protectiOn" from
any interference by the Dairy and
Food commissioner, whose duty it is
to enforce the law, and that though
it was conducting an Illegal business,
and was visited three times by the
chief inspector for Philadelphia who
was frankly shown and told how
oleOmargerine was sold as pure but
ter, the business was not molested.
It alleges that there were 500 oleo-
margerine "speak easies" or stores
and peddlers, in the city which sell
the stuff without license, besides the
130 licensed wholesale and retail
dealers. That over half a million
pounds are sold every month as pure
butter at a profit of nearly 100 per
cent. This sale ola fraudulent article
entails a loss of four million dollars
annually to the farmers ofthe State, by
crowdng the genuine butter product
out of the market. The exposure is
circumstantial i'm details and arrays
a series of alleged facts, which bear
every appearance of truth, and unless
disproved by the authorities are very
damaging to the Pure Food Com
missioner, and should tumble him
and his aids out of office.

Kilgours Possible Luck.

The Passaic News says Justice
Wheeler of the U. S. Court has de-
cided four of the contentious, in the
suit brough by j, F Kilgour against
the National Bank of Port Jervis, in
favor of the plaitiff which will make
Kilgour richer by about $50, 900.
One more appeal can be taken to a
court of three U, S. Judges. The
Judge holds that plaintiff is to be
credited in the accounting with $780,
900 on account of the Parkers Glen
property, with interest from Dec.
ii, '94. He also holds that Kilgours
equity in thePassaic property isworth
several thousands and that the Sho-
hola Glen property is worth $50, ,00C
more than was credited, and that the
income was considerably more than
was allowed in the Masters account
from which Kilgour appealed.
