Heron and Jays in a Fight.

From the chicago Dally news.
A battle between a blue heron and a
dozen bluejays. with an audience made up
Of ducks. swans. cranes. gulls and pea
cocks, took place in Lincoln Park early to-
day. The scene of the battle was the little
hill at the south end Of the duck pond.
Large numbers of bluejays have made
their appearance in the park in the last
few days The heron wading in the pond
utterly unconscious of any coming attack,
was taken by surprise when jays in a flock
swooped down upon him from all sides.
Taken at disadvantage he fought back
as best he could, at the same time edging
his way to the shore.
Gaining the shore. he made his way to
low-spreading tree, and, placing his back
to it, repelling an attack of his antagonists,
made rapid thrusts with his rapier-like bill
at the pugnacious jays The fight waxed
hotter and hotter for nearly fifteen min
utes. the heron repellng the attacks. until
one of the jays, blinded by rage made
swoop for the head of the heron and was
impaled upon the long bill by a sudden for
ward thrust.
A few discordant cries and the bird was
dead. This took the heart out Of the at
lacking party and they flew away with
cries of fear. The heron reached up with
one foot, raked the jay off his bill, and
after making sure his enemies had flown
drew his head down between his wings and
went to sleep.
Her Startling Conclusion.
From the Chicago Post.
"Oh it's terrible!" she cried; simply ter
rible!'
Whats the matter?" he asked
why, I just remembered the statement
in the physiology that we are completely
made over once every seven years."
What Of It?"
why. If that's so we're not the same
people we were seven years ago, and-and-
so we're not married to each other at all
now. Oh, it's awful! just awful!

Cleveland, Nov. 22.-During the last "a
hours the telegraph service between
Cleveland, Chicago. Buffalo and Colum
bus has been badly crippled as the re.
suit of the fierce windstorm which swept
over the great lakes and over the north
ern part of Ohio The wind knocked
down telegraph wires between Buffalo
and Chicago and Cleveland and Column

sent out from this city to repair the dam
age. Lake craft suffered even more seri-
,orisly than did the railroads The steam
ser Britton arrived from Detroit during
the day. The captain of the steamer
said that he left Detroit with IL other
steamers. Only two succeeded in MAX
ing the trip to Cleveland, and the other
ten We're compelled to turn into Pigeon
bay for shelter. The wind has blown the
water from Limekiln crossing, near Am
herstburg leaving Il big fleet above it I'M
able to get out. The water has also been
blown out of Sandusky bay and Tole-
do harbor, leaving only five feet at Tcle-
do and six feet at Sandusky bay. The
government harbor work at Eairport was
damaged to the extent Of several thou
sand dollars A couple of immense hoists
We're blown over and completely ruined.
The fierce gale which was blowing over
the lake all day prevented all boats from

Sanitary conditions in Picking are seri--
Gus. Since the foreign occupation many
Chinese have died of smallpox and other
infectious diseases. Fearing that their
funerals would be interfered with, they
have kept most of the collins containing
their dead in their houses and court
yards. The question of removing garbage
has become one of grave Importance. As
the natives are forbidden to deposit ref
use in the streets, there is now an enor-
nous accumulation in their dwellings and
yards, which threatens a serious epidea-
lie. In view Of the large number OF
troops in and near the capital the con
sequences Of such an outbreak would be
fiightful. Smallpox, which is always
prevalent, is much more malignunh dur
ing the winter season, and the danger
here is now alarmingly increased

Charles Ii. Hoyt, the famous play.
wright. has died at his beautiful home in
Charlestown, n. H., of paresis. Mrs:
Hoyt, better known as Caroline Miskel,.
died in October, 1898, and her death
deeply affected him. In fact, from that
time his health began to fail. His last
play, "A Deg In the Manger," was pro-
duced in Washington during the season
of 1S9S-9. The play was failure, and
still more broken in health, he went to
Florida. In July last he was sent to an
insane asylum. Subsequently he was re-
leased and sent to his home at Charles
town, n. H., but guardian of his prop
erty was appointed. His plays brought
him in a great deal of money, and during
one season. when "A Trip to Chinatown"
was produced. he is said to have had an
income of $l33.00U, At the time a guar
dian was appointed he was reputed. al
though he had lived extravagantly, to be
still worth 100000.
