BIG BIRDS DEATH FIGHT.
Ostriches in Trenton Zoo in Terrific
Battle.
From the Philadelphia Record.


From the Philadelphia Record.
Trenton, N. j., Jan. 1.-THE Zoo at
Cadwaader Park, this city's public pleas
ure ground, is short one ostrich as a re-
suit of one of the most terrific battles be-
tween birds that was ever witnessed. A
few months ago Col. A. b. Kuser pre-
scented the park commission with two cock
ostriches that he had raised on his farm
near this city. Park Superintendent Smith
named one of the birds Mckinley" and
the other Cleveland" They were strong,
active fellows, and either one of them
could kick heavy board fence into kind
ling wood in less time than 1t takes to
tell about it, Mckinley and Cleveland
were never good friends. There was bad
blood between them from the day that they
came to the park, and they We're kept in
separate apartments most of the time.
AT length Supt Smith thought 1t would
be safe to let the birds into the large field
surrounding the ostrich house. They were
turned loose and one of the park guards
told to keep an eye on them. All went
well for a few hours, when suddenly the
birds started toward each other like a cou-
pie of whirlwinds and came together with
a CRASH. 0leNeldIu MT MCINlIllty "a plOW
that knocked him on his back, but he
was up in jiffy, and after circling
around Cleveland two or three times, made
a lunge forward with both feet and knock
ed his adversary up against the fence with
force that made il shake as If 1t were
made of lath.
The guard summoned assistance, and
armed with clubs, three men undertook
to separate the ostriches, but they were
mad clear through, and kicked and ham
mered each other like demons. Finally
Cleveland received a kick in the chest that
laid him low. He fell In a heap, and Nc
Kinley was on top of him in the twinkllng
of an eye, stamping rim into the ground
with all the gusto, apparently. of a Zulu
chief at war dance. Long after the life
had been tramped out of Cleveland's body
did Mckinley dance on him, and when he
was finally driven away his victim was
nothing but a mass of bruised flesh, brok-
en- bones and rumpled feathers. The vic
torious ostrich Is apparently as well as
ever barring a slight limp resulting from
a blow that he received on one of his
legs from Cleveland's vigorous foot.

PHOTOGRAPHER E. G. Protzman
has been taking pictures Of the school
children who got on the honor roll for
March all day to-day. The little tots
are taking great deal of interest in
the matter and they are swelled up
with the notable achievement that
they have made. Their pictures will
be placed in frames ia conspicuous
places in the school building to incite
them to better work next month.
The children as a general rule are
very much interested in the matter
and when one fails to get on the roll
he is very much hurt over it. Sick
Ress has done a great deal to keep it
down this winter First one vista
tion and then another has made it
hard for the pupils to get there every
day and to be on time every day.
IT won't be very long until all of
the streets in town are paved. Pleas
ants, Front and Walnut need atten-
ton. The plan is to get them paved
early in the summer. Next year
there will be only alleys to look af-
ter aud they can be closed up in "a
very few years without anyone feel
ing the expense. The whole town
will soon be covered with brick.
When that time comes it will be
easy to fight the mud and dust be
cause it will all be outside and will
have to fight to get into town. Now
every street has mud hole on it
somewhere and the mud is dragged
constantly onto the pavements.
