The latest addition to the Scottish
Zoo is a ylaeke yark or emgalla, direct

portentously ugly head. One of the
chief peeuliarities of this animal is the
enormous projection which tanks the
face on either side just balow the eyes.
SO large are these excrescences, and SO
deeply sunk are the eyes, that the

RELIC OF THE WOODEN NAVY
Old Frigate Franklin VIII Soon BE
Abandoned as Useless.

From the Washington Star: "The
ancient frigate Franklin, relic of the
old wooden navy, which has been used
for many years as receiving ship at
the Norfolk navy yard, is soon to be
deserted hulk" said naval officer, who
has recently visited the Virginia naval
station. she was examined not long
ago by a board of officers and 1t is be-
lieved they will submit condemnatory
report. The policy of the department,
as is generally understood, is to do
away with the time-honored but an
tiquated and out-of-date system Of re-
eeiving ships, substituting for them
shore barracks similar in general char
acter to the quarters occupied by en-
listed men at army posts. The jaekies
of the old school are much opposed to
this plan. They cling to their old fogy
ideas of seafaring life and believe
recruit should be placed upon the water
from the very first. To break him in
on shore and have him live in bar
racks, they say, will make the fellow a
landlubber all of his natural life. While
the receiving ships of today are moth
ing more than great floating houses,
there is nevertheless an air Of the sea
about them and this the old dogs
among the men love. Dismantled and
rooted over, the ships haven't much
resemblance to a seagoing craft. An
other thing in connection with the re-
ceiying ships is that the families Of
commanding officers are allowed to live
aboard The Franklin is historic old
boat, and it has been suggested that
one might buy her when she is put up
at auction and place the craft on ex-
hibition in different ports. This would
hardly seem to be a profitable under
ra1sina."

Cavalier vs.. Grafton.

SoVoA404 w. A140kOOu.
The game of base ball between the
Cavalier and Grand Forks mines did not
come of as advertised for last Friday,
through the failure of Grand Forks,
which made the plea that several OF their
men were disabled. Manager Laxdal,
however, in order to avoid total disap.
pointment to visitors, hustled around and
got Grafton to get together an aggrega-
ton from almost everywhere and good
game was played. The Grafton team
were good players, no less than four
pitchers being among them, but the
Cavalier nine was too good for them by
a score of 10 to 8. The Cavalier battery
was superior and they did better fielding.
Following this the Cavalier juniors beat
the Langdonju juniors 9 to 6 in game that
was much better played than the usual
exhibition given by local mines of larger
men. A large number of visitors were
present from different parts OF the county,
noticeably number of prospective
political candidates, and while special
interest in the rivalry of Grand Forks
and Cavalier made the failure of the
former disappointment, yet all were
pleased with the games given them by
the enterprise of the management. Penn
bina was represented by large con-
tingent including some young ladies, and
were Hospitality entertained by the good
people of the center.

Suicide at Neche.


Gideon A. Wylie Of Neche, committed
suicide at that place on Saturday night,
sometime after IL o'clock, his body be-
ing found next morning.
The circumstances go to show delib-
crate purpose conceived for some time
previously. About year or more ago
he kept company with young lady Of
Neche, but not apparently to any serious
extent. He had however not been pay
ing her any particular attention for some
months. Some days ago he wrote her a
letter threatening to shoot himself if she
did not marry him. On Saturday night
he called at her residence and renewed
the threat, and is said displayed a revol.
yer. Later he met several young men
on the streets. talked with them as usual
and then went to the river side and
sometime thereafter shot himself twice
in tn region Of the heart, both bullets
going in the same hole. and coming Out
about six inches apart at his back.
During the day Wylie had paid up
some personal bills. and it was found
that he had burned his private papers

near til spot where he shot himself. His
intimate friends for some time had OBJ.
served that something was wrong with
him, and had tried to persuade him to
go away on a tour Of recreation and rest,
but of course did not realize the extent
Of his mental disarrangement.
There are many stories afloat, as there
always is such cases, as to circumstan-
ces previous TO The suicide, most of them
without foundation, but all exonorate the
young lady referred to, in being in any
way to blame-and her connection in the
case is only another symptom of Wylie's
mental alteration.
Wylie was about "a years of age and
had been book-keeper for ]. LaMoure &
Co. for some years. He was naturally
of quiet disposition, genial and kindly,
and very highly esteemed by employers
and large circle Of friends who greatly
regret his untimely decease.
The funeral services at Neche on Mon
day were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Rich
mond, and the body was taken to Bath
gate under the escort Of the Masonic
and the knights Of Pythias Lodges, and
buried there under the ritualistic services
of his brethren. The deceased leaves
two brothers, Ken Wylie of Neche and
one who farms near there, and father,
who resides in California. The sincere
sympathy Of very many friends goes out
to these mourners.
