Divinity student Routed.

zone day we were travelling across
the plains in the caboose of a freight
train" writes Rev. Cyrus Townsend
Brady, of his experiences as "A Mis-
Sionary In the Great West" in The Ea-
dies Home Journal. "A young divinity
student was with us. He was one Of
the ambitious kind Of divinity students
who wreck parish or two when they
begin and finally drift upon the eccle-
siastical bargain counter. He was
ready TO argue about anything with
anybody.
"a greasy dilapidated looking tramp
came into the cabooSe at one Of the
stations at the end of division and
presently engaged in heated discus
sion with the young thcolOgue on the
disadvantages of education. He main
tanned the affirmative that the less a
man knew and the less education he
had the happier he was-with SO much
skill and adroitneSs and showed such
mastery OF logic and literature that he
routed the poor boy horse, foot and
Dragons so effectively that the young
man rose and went out on the platform
TO hide his chagrin. leaving the sup
posed tramp chuckling over his pipe in
huge enjoyment at his easy victory.
THE bishop had listened without say
ing word. and when the student left
he turned 10 the man and inquired
sharply, What college do you come
from. sirT Yale answered the man
without thinking. The unlucky admis-
sion destroyed the mans argument. for
he was living example of the fallacy
of his own ppoDoSitiou a"

A SETTING ROOSTER.
Strange Freak of Fowl Which Is At-
 tracting Much Attention in Hays

| Strange Freak of a Fowl Which Is At- | tracting Much Attention in Hays | town.
 | Fred Lockwood of No. Haystown
 has a rooster whose habits are to say
 the least, very remarkable, for at the
 present time he is matching out his third brood of chickens. Fowls have been known to do very remarkable things. Hens have been heard even to
 crow, but for rooster to assume the
 duties of the hen in raising brood of
 chickens is unprecedented.
 This rooster has the setting habit
 very strongly established, for he no sooner gets brood of chickens so they
 are able to take care of themselves
 than he immediately gets another set
 ting of eggs if possible and proceeds to
 hatch out another brood. He Is now
 engaged in producing chickens from a setting of high grade eggs, and resents
 interference with his occupation as strongly as any hen would. If a per- son makes motion as if he would touch the eggs or the setter, master rooster pecks at him very vigorously and ruff f1es up the feathers on his neck exactly like an old hen.
 One of the strangest features of the performance, however, is the manner in which the rooster changes work with his mate, an old hen. which is at the present time caring for another brood of chickens. When the rooster is hun gry, he leaves the nest of eggs of co,1rse to oct some fond As sonn as his mate discovers that he is off the nest she goes on and keeps the eggs at the proper temperature until he comes back. Meanwhile the rooster takes charge of the brood of chickens which his mate has left, and goes around scratching up food for them while at the same time he fills his own crop
 When his appetite Is satisfied he goes back to the nest and the hen gets off and returns to her brood of chickens. This change about seems to be the re- suit of the hens opinion that the roos- ter, who Is new in the matching busi- ness, does not know just how long he can safely remain away from the nest without spelling the eggs. She there- fore, who knows all about it by instinct. keeps kind of general oversight of the operation to make certain that the rooster does the work properly.
 This strange freak of nature Is at- l tracting a great deal of attention l among Mir I.ockwoods neighbors, many of whom call to see the rooster | on the nest to satisfy themselves that | the story has been told to them correct | ly,--Danbury News.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
DECISION IN COMMERCIAL CABLE
 SUIT.
Refercs's R ward Confir m ed by Judge TOwnseMd-C. J. O'Krcfo Surd-Cty Court Cnsrr,

Judge Townsend handed down a de- cision in the United States circuit court yesterday in the suit of the Commercial Cable company against the schooner W, H. Bailey of New London. The de- cision Is on the exceptions filed by the claimants to the report of the commits sioner awarding $2,500 damages to the libellant, being the amount claimed in the libel for cost of repairs to the li- bellant's vessel and motion by claimant for the assessment of $1000 ''in the na- ture of exemplary damages to compan- sate libellant for the expenses in this case"
 In his decision Judge Townsend says Tn the present case the commissioner has awarded libellant the full amount of damages claimed In his libel, The report of the commissioner is accepted and the motion for exemplary damages is denied"
 The case grew out of the cutting of a cable in New York harbor belonging to the Commercial Cable company by the crew of the schooner Bailey. The Bailey anchored over the cape ana when the crew attempted to weigh an- chor they found that it had fouled the cable. The captain ordered them to haul the cable to the schooner's deck and cut it. This order was obeyed and the cable company was greatly inter- fered with and put to considerable ex- pense in making repairs The cutting of the cable was traced to the schooner Bailey. The crew admitted having cut a cable, but claimed 1t was much small- CT than that of the Commercial com pany

CITY COURT CASES.

Gangs of boys since the summer va cations began, are giving the people no end of trouble. The Galley gang from
 the upper end of the Boulevard took up
 an hour of the city courts time yester-
 day forenoon. The leader of the gang,
 John Galley, had his case continued un-
 til to-day that reform school com
 plaint may be made against him. He was charged with burglarizing the barn of Mrs. Henry Daley on the Boulevard. Galley ls fifteen years old, and since the Buffalo Bill show was here he has had no use for work or for most of the or dinary conventionalities of life. He ran away about a month ago from the home of his father, who is a widower on Par melee avenue, and since has spent his time in dime-novel reading. He is said to have led his little brother Arthur into committing a burglary, and also Joseph Stewart and George Meng, three twelve-year-olds who live in that neigh borhood The eases of the three last named were continued on their good be- havior until July 31.

 John Good assaulted William A. Welch, a venerable chropodist of Chap el street, in a dispute over work done by Good. The latter knocked the old man down twice, it Is said. The case was continued until to-day to give the defendant ample time to summon wit nesses
 Willis Brnsmade, the coored 'round- sr," of 25 Eaton street, who occasionally gets drunk and throws lamps and that sort of thing at his wife, was fined $2 and costs, and after paying s9.96 was set at large to continue his career. It Is said that he is in the employ of the ,ity.
