later in the day thunder and lightning
were pretty general and in some dis
tricts limited the shooting to a few
hours. The condition of the moors was
also wonderfully good, considering the
severity of the thunder and rain storm
of Saturday, for the wind and sun of
Sunday had fairly dried up all traces
Of the downpOur.

had given promise of excellent sport,
for they were almost unanimous IN
saying that this years sportsmen
years past as everywhere the birds
were in better trim, healthier, plumper
and in more uniform condition than
last year This marked Improvement
is due to the absence of severe weather
before and during nesting time and to
the absence of heavy rainfalls after the
Matching

moors this season. Practically none of

TRAGIC ROMANCE OF ANIMALS.
Tigress Slain by Her Lover in Cage
ut Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. Tn the deatl
OF a handsome tigress at the Robin
son circus quarters, at Terrace Park
Thursday a tragic love romance
among fierce animals of the jungles
was ended.
Two weeks ago Gil. Robinson, who
travels over thu world and purchases
wild animal. for the circus, shipped
six Bengal tigers from New York to
the winter quarters, Itwas intended
to exhibit the six In onecogr. "A thing
that has never been done. and al
were placed in one compartment To
become accustomed u each other
before the road season opened in lie
oring Each animal cost $1,000.
aud there wert four females and two
| males
| One OF the females. II particularly
sleek, graceful and beautiful tigrcss.
Immediately captured the affections
of the two males. and so fascinated
them that they entirely neglected the
other three, who pouted and defect
g lily crouched in the corners. but
he handsome female also had her
preference, and with one OF the tigers
would have nothing to do. Tie 9TH
or she appeared to be very fond of
These relations between the six con
tinued for several days, the keepers
looking constantly for fight be-
tween the two males But the ieal-
Ousy OF the tiger scOrned took the
form OF rage against the female, and
eliminated in an attack upon her
Thursday morning at sunrise. The
fight was one Of the most furious the
keepers ever saw. The noise OF it and |
the frightened cries of the Others, |
which tore at the bars in an effort to |
escape, aroused all the animals in |
the building, and an uproar com
menced that was appalling.
Over and over, from one end of the |
cage to the other, the two animals
fought. The tigress made desper-
ate struggle for her life, but the male
finally caught her by he throat with
his powerful jaws and she sank to
the floor dying. The keepers say
there was a look of pleading in her
eyes almost human and tragicallv
Ditiful. But the enraged tiger, his
'yes cleaning fiercely, did not release
lis hold, even when beaten over the
Iead with iron bars until the tigress
hat he had loved was dead.

Uncle Sam Generous With his Wooden
Legs.
Prom the York Tribune.

/ Prom the York Tribune.
| BY the generosity OF Uncle Sam,
every officer and enlisted man who
has lost a leg or an arm in the sery-
ice of United States TO receive once in
three years an artificial limb to take
the place Of the one which his devo-
ton TO his country has deprived him
of. Before the year 1891 the period
was five years.
Uncle Sam does not make the re-
cepti0n Of such a gratuity imperative
by any means. Ii the veteran prefers
to hObble about on d crutch or leave
his empty sleeve tied up to his shout
der he has that privilege. In case he
chooses the limb. he receives free
transportation to the scene of the
fitting, and Il guarantee Of perfect
satisfaction. Communication is more
to his fancy, the government allows
him 80 for leg or so for an arm,
i'll addition 10 his regular pension.
Ii the leg has been cut off below the
knee or the ARA below the elbow. the
remittance Is somewhat lighter. In
that case the veteran draws $50 for
tie leg or $50 for the arm.
Statistics Show that at present
over 5000 veterans are wearing
limbs under this benifcent
and generous ia~. It is estimated
that more legs and arms Were lost in
one hot skirlnish of the ciyil war than
in all the battles of the Cuban cam
paign.
