POPULIsT PARTY DEAD.

In a speech made at Fayetteville on
the night before the. election, Mr.. A.
II. Slocumb, a Republican leader in
Cumberland, said that Fowler had
told him he was going to vote for Nc
Kinley, and believed in all his poll
cies." This is the same Fowler who,
as Populist, ranted against every
thing that Mckinley stands for. In
the election nearly all the Populist
leaders voted for Mckinley. Very few
who voted against Aycock and the
amendment voted for Bryan-not
more than handful. The Republi-
cans and remaining Populists after
the August election, with few eXcep-
tons, are lying down together, with
the Populists inside the Republican
lion. The Populist party is dead. The
Democrats get all who believe in JEFF
ferson's principles. The pie-eaters
have gone over bag and baggage to the
Republicans.

CRAB FROM INDIAN OCEAN.
The Largest Crusfaeean Ever Known
Captured Recently Near
Calcutta.

An enormous phosphorescent crab,
the like of which has never hereto
fore been found, was recently cap
tured in the Indian ocean and is now
in the aquarium of the Geological So
ciety of Calcutta, says the New York
Herald. This huge crustacean. which
was caught a mile away from shore,
is 62 centimeters in diameter and its
claws are more than n yard long.
Its yoracity is incredible, and it's
great eyes protrude IN such n man
ner as to give it peculiarly ferocious
appearance.
After it was caught it was placed
in a large vessel, which was filed with
sea water and which also contained
about 80 crustaeeans and other fishes
Two hours later the crab had de-
youred all these, and when evening
arrived the biologists, who were
watching the strange creature. saw TO
their surprise that il emitted curious
phosphoreseent rays of a milky white
ness, which illumined the entire yes
sci. This inexplieable phenomenon IS
repeated every evening, and natural
lists have travelled from many parts
to witness it.

A CHIVALRIC BIRD.
The Golden-CroETned Thrush Ar

Even the birds recognize woman's
rights-at least so an Audubonite lee
tnrer declared the other day in describ-
ing the habits OF the golden-crowned
thrush, more Familiarity known as the
oseH-bird. The word owen merely re-
fers to the shape Of the philosophers
nest, which usually is built on the
ground with a dome-like roof. Even
the family name suggests fire, being
Furnariidae, says the Baltimore News.
But the way in which the nest is
built explains the birds answer TO

ton divides the ''oven" into two COM
pariments. The inside one is for the
lazy bird and has a luxurious feather
bed. The outer room is the gentleman
birds boudoir, and its only furniture
is rough clay couch.

MAKE STEERS GET UP.
Stock Men Resort to odd Devices 40
Get the Animals on Their
Feet.

An old stock shipper was instructing
some new hands at the business in one
of the hotels the other evening. They
were discussing the problem Of how to
keep cattle from falling down in
crowded cars and how best to force
them on their feet when they did fall.
As most people know, says the Chicago
Chronicle, when steer gets down" he
is pretty likely to be killed by the 9th
err steers hoofs. and that he has to be
resolnte and determined to get up il
he would avoid death in that way.
One shipper said he had stuck the
goad into them an inch and a half
without forcing them TO use their ut
most strength to push their way to
their feet. The old shipper said he al
ways took the tobacco out of his
mouth and rubbed it in the eyes of
the down" steers. and that the pain
was SO severe 1.-THE steer would push
his way through the top of the car, if
need be, to get out of his misery" A
bystander remarked: "There are men
in this world who would quit the live.
stock business before they would in
flict such cruelty" The old shipper
lhughed at him.

DEMAND FOR BELGIAN HARES.
Numerous Shipments Are Now Being
Made TO Eastern cities from
the West.

Belgian hares are being shipped to
the Chicago and New York markets
in enormous numbers from the
west. There are large numbers Of
rabbit farms in Nebraska, and Omaha
commission men are beginning 10 reap
rich harvest from this traffic. A ready
sale is found for the animals for ship
ment to all eastern cities, says a Chi
cago paper.
The income from some Of these rab-
bit farms, started by children. has been
large. At Columbus a boy started with
pair of rabbits and in one year cleared
$500 and had left more than 200 rabbits.
They breed six times year and begin
to propagate at the age of four months.
Many of these little animals have es-
capped in Nebraska and Kansas and
have already oceasioned alarm among
farmers for fear that they will increase
so rapidly that they viii become a
me.aee to crops.
Belgian hares arc offered for sale In
all the markets around Omaha, and
several of the big packers are arrang-
ing to pack the animals for foreign
shipment. The flesh does not resemble
that Of the wild rabbit, but is very
white and sweet.

TWO POPULAR pASTIMES.
Bieys Riding and Golf Have Gained
the Greatest Hold In
America.

The two forms of recreation which
have taken the greatest hold upon the
American public are bicycle riding and
golf. Why these pastimes have at
tained so great a popularity in this
country is not difficult 10 understand:
and an analysis Of the elements Of their
great success involves an enumeration
Of those elements which must be found
in every sport which approaches the
ideal, says the Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
Wheeling and golfng are equally
adapted 10 the pleasure OF both men
and women, and naturally bring them
together for their outings. This in
sures the wheel and the golf club
place in thousands of homes from
which they would otherwise be exelnd-
ed, for many husbands will not allow
themselves regular indulgence in a
recreation which may not be shared
by their wives, and when TO the intrin-
sic interest of any recreation is added
the zest Of social intercourse between
the two sexes its pleasures and attrac-
tons are multiplied.
That pastime which calls its partici-
pants into places Of scenic beauty. and
at the same time furnishes them with
the exhilaration of interesting exer-
else, possesses sure and potent
charm. No recreation possesses this
characteristic in a greater degree than
does golf.

AMERICAN INSTITUTE AT PARIS.
COMMITTEE REPORTS AGAINST GRANT
OF LAND-CAUsEs FOR DECISION
