 The lecturer described the inland towns, which are poor and shabby, crowded with a shiftless population of half breeds, their palm matched shan ties, the staples of coffee and cane, the native fruits and vegetation. A rather imperfect belt railroad runs tWo- thirds the way about the island. The pride of Porto Rico is the great military road, extending from San Juan more than ninety miles over mountains three tnou- sand feet high to Ponce on the southern coast. It is a nearly perfect carriage and bicycle road, in strong contrast With the rutty common roads and bri- dle paths which are the chief means of communication with the Interior.

A FIERCE cAssowARY FIGHT.


 The Only Bird That Kicks Its Oppo, l nent
 | Although the caesowary in captivity l has the reputation of being extremely 1 tractable and docile, he is terrible wher 1 aroused.
 A notable pecularity of this bird is that if any particular object attracts his attention he will perform q sort of war dance over 1t. This happened at the Zoo when one of the cassowaries, which are confined in cages near the main entrance, lighted upon a gaudy piece of ribbon blown inside the bars from the hat or dress of some woman visitor.
 He was one of the smallest of the coll lection. but he was of a martial dispo- sitlon. After having carefully exam ined the ribbon he started his war dance. and kept it up with great vigor for some minutes Just while he was at the height of his enjoyment a larger cassowary came up and interfered with him.
 He stood this for some time, but when the larger bird attempted to oust him from the spot in order that he in turn might prance about the ribbon, he re- tented the intrusion in no uncertain style.
 Kicking out vigorously on all sides, craning his neck, snapping his beak, elongating his body and hitting in1agi- nary blows with the horny mass which eassowaries carry on the tops of their heads, and which is called the helmet, he seemed to bid defiance to all corners.
 The larger cassowary, thinking appa- rently that he could treat the demon- strations of the lightweight with cor- tempt. commenced hustling the latter. The two were very Ill matched as re- eards height one of them being about five feet high and the other a foot or more shorter but the battle which en- sued showed that weight and height will not always tell.
 Forward kicks were the main feature of the fight. The cassowary, 1t IS be- lieved. is the only bird, except perhaps the ostrich, which uses this method Of attack and defence, and the way a cas- sowary can kick would warm the heart of French boxer He can KICK

EAST HAVEN TOWN MEETING.

A Committee Appointed to Confer Witt
 M. Seward & Sons Co.
 A largely attended town meeting was
 held in the East Haven town hall last
 evening to take action on two matters
 of importance to the town. The meet ing was the largest town meeting held
 there in some time and was called for
 the purpose of considering the proposal
 to build a new house for the fire depart
 ment of the town and the proposal that some advantage be held out to induce 1 the M. Seward 6 Sons Co. of this city,
 whose plant the courts have ordered
 removed from Bristol street, to locate 1 in that town.
 Dwight w. Futile was chairman of the meeting and H. H. Beardsley was clerk.
 | Merrick Russell moved that the town | hose company of the town, organized since water mains were laid through the village. Edward B. Woodward. a | representative of the hose company said that the company wished the town to purchase the lot and own it instead of purchasing it by subscription and turning it over to the company.
 Representative Ed. Foote Thompson spoke in favor of the hose company it. self raising the money for the purchase of lot by subscription on the ground that what the hose company worked for it would prize more highly. He said that he advocated this course. not to escape paying his share of the in- prn sad fnx r,ty I,1 l.z J
 scribed $50 to a fund for the purchase of the lot, and if the town purchased the lot his extra tax would not amount to that much.
 TWO or three lots have been offered for sale forjthe purpose of a hose com pany site. and the one to which the company is most favorable has a street frontage of, 100 feet and can be purchas- ed for $500. It is now owned by John Tyler, and adjoins Atwaters store,
 c. c. Kirkham moved that the town borrow money to purchase whatever lot the selectmen see fit to purchase. This motion was passed, and it was voted to authorize. the selectmen to borrow $2,ooo for the purpose of erecting a suit ape building on the lot when purchased.
 The matter of endeavoring to induce the M. Seward Sons company to locate In the town has been discussed for some time and it had been proposed that the town offer to abate taxes for the firm for 8 terms of years if they would locate in East Haven. This proposition came up for consideration at last nights s 
 Representative Thompson held that Tor the town to agree to abate taxes would be Illegal and quoted cases to show that the town had no authority to do so.
 That proposition was then dropped and it was voted that committee be appointed to confer with the M. Seward & Sons company to ascertain what the company desired, and what would ba acceptable as an inducement to locate l in East Haven. This committee was in- structed to report at an adjourned town meeting to be held on March If. The | Following gentlemen were appointed | members of the committee, F. B. Street, w. K. Stevens, and Richard Stone.

Berlin, March 1.-The facts as to the representations of the powers to China over the Manchuria case are that the powers constituting the triple alliance and Great Britain, Japan and the Unit cd States have separately made to the Chinese plenipotentiaries in Pekin friendly representations as to how un- wise it would be for China, at the pres ent stage of the peace negotiations, to grant any power separate concessions and thus to render more difficult an agreement with the others.
 United States Ambassador White confirms the foregoing declaration of German officials adding that the United States Is in perfect accord with Ger many in this matter.
 The German press continues to dis cuss the situation thus developed, in which it sees most critical possibilities, threatening the harmony of the pow CTS.

Leaving him after I had made him as comfortable as possible I and the other boy went down to the dead lions and skinned them out, for they both lay in the sun, which would soon turn their bellies green and cause their hair to slip. The irrepressible ants, too, kept us mpany~-those curses to natural- ists. We then rolled them up and each backing one left the skulls to fetch along later. Poor Bob looked lugubri- ous enough and mathematical the par ticular Hon that had used him up, ac- cording to the habit of his tribe; but I could not allow him to subject the hide to any indignities all the same. This is how I got two fine male lions in as many hours, which is not an every day occurrence. even when they are plenty.

A TRIP TO PORTO RICO.
Entertaining Sheffield Lecture Last
 Night by Dr. A. w. Evans.

] entertaining Sheffield Lecture Last Night by Dr. A. w. Evans. Dr. A. W. Evans gave a most enter 1 taining tourists lecture on Porto Rico last evening in the course of Sheffield lectures at North Sheffield hall It was illustrated with many fine stereopticon views.
 The subject was "A Trip to Porto , Rico," and in beginning Dr. Evans de- clared that it was not his intention to comment upon the political situation or policies now prevailing in the island,
 but to discuss Porto Rico wholly from
 the point of view of the tourist He
 then proceeded to describe the people of the island, their towns and cities,
 how they live, what they raise and the
 many internal changes since its tropical
 forest was reduced to the few square
 miles now occupied by the primeval forest of Yunque.
 Porto Rico is the smallest of the Greater Antilles, but has a population as dense as the state of New Jersey, numbering a million inhabitants. It's coast line is very regular, with few har- bors, and it's larger cities are near the coast. In the interior the country is rugged and mountainous.
 San Juan, the first city in the north ern part of the island, is a town four hundred years old, and stands at the head of a beautiful harbor crowned with a Morro castle. Two picturesque building are the Coso Blanca and the palace, both old Spanish government buildings now occupied by United States officers. The town is built with succeed dwellings, and on Sunday evenings the plaza is gay with prome- naders. The plaza is remarkable for its brilliant red fringe of ''flamboyant" trees. The low suburban houses and their luXuriant gardens were also de- scribed.
 Ponce, on the southern shore is the city of the Porto Rican aristocracy with many elegant dwellings and pub lie buildings. The language of the in- habitants is entirely Spanish, and is a

 VERY PLEASANT RECEPTION.
Given by Principal M R. Webster of

Given by Principal M R. Webster of
 Zunder School Last Evening
 There was 8 very pleasant reception at Zunder school last evening given by Miss M R. Webster, the principal, to the teachers of the district. As the guests were received by the hostess, as- sisted by Miss M. T. Bird, cards bear ing the name of some person of national reputation were pinned on their backs, and the guests were not relieved of this unadoring accessory until they correct 1y guessed the name written thereon. This little incident was the cause of much merriment, and caused no end of fun. The room in which the reception was held was very tastefully embellish- ed with palms and ferns and statues of busts of Lincoln and Washington. with pedestals for the same, which were presented by rooms g, 10, II and 12 to the school added much to the pictur- sequences of the occasion. There were fifteen lessons on the programme for the evenings work, but which were really fifteen unique guessing contests The first was portraits of famous people, pictures and paintings of persons of fame being shown to the guests and those guessing the most titles correctly won the prize. Along the same lines were the following: Odors in small bottles, books and titles, personals, ia. nous characters, advertisements, char acters in history, lengths of ribbons, names of cities, peanuts in quart fa- nous men and their painters, external physiology and songs
 Among the guests present were Super intendent and Mrs. Beede, the supewis- ing principals and special teachers, MT. and Mrs. Jones, MT. and Mrs. Lambert, Mir. and Mrs. Nichols, MT. and Mrs. Houston, MT. and Mrs. Burnham, Miss Reynolds, Miss Messer, Mrs. M. l..

straight out like a man, or he can do the high kick like any music hall star. At first the blows were delivered chiefly on the breast, and didn't hurt much, but eventually the smaller bird knocked the other one out with a mas terly stroke, delivered by the long sharp claw of the inner toe on the wat ties of its antagonist
 No fatal injury was done but the shock must have been terrific, for the big bird uttered peculiar cry and re- tired in confusion to its corner, while the victorious one resumed it's war dance. It also had been severely pun ished, and one could almost imagine 1t saying to itself, like MT. Henley:

Il Isn't Great

The cost of insurance
isn't great. The ease Of
mind, the feeling Of secur-
ity it brings you is worth
ten times as much as you
have to pay for the pro-
lection. And if your prop
erty wasn't insured, and it
should burn up, what
would be your condition?
Uninsured property is
very uncertain wealth.
What you call home to-
day may be a heap OF
ruins tomorrow.
Some insurance policies
are very questionable Sc
curity, and insurance In
one company costs just as
much as in another.
Be careful what COM
pany's policy you buy.
Investigate the character
and financial standing of
the company before you
buy insurance.

A Chapel for the County Farm.

Mr.. Editor
| have just received the following APP
peal signed by twenty eight persons, which
appeal is as follows:
ave, the poor people at the county
farm, do ask the'leading men of Tazewell
county to build us a church. We have
no place of worship, only in our rooms,
and we are DESTROYS to have the gospel.
The Saviour said that the poor have
the gospel preached to them. We will aid
aud help all we can. 1t need not be a
fine church, but a comfortable one IL all
wc a. K; and we, the undersigned, do sin
cerely. hope that you will consider and
help us, please" Then follows the TWEEN
ty-eight names, each one of whom has
subscribed 2 small amount to aid in the
erection Of the desired Louise of worship.
1t is matter of some surprise that the
building of such house on the county
farm has not been accomplished long ago
| trust that this matter may receive lmme'
date attention, and that this call may be
answered.
call the attention of the Supervisors Of
the county to this need, and suggest that
a suitable chapel be erected. No doubt
the Superintendent could make arrange
ments With four different preachers who
would divide the time and give them
preaching every Sunday afternoon.
If the Supervisors do not take up the
matter, 1 would suggest that committee
of ladies, representing all the churches IN
the town, take charge of this worthy en-
terprise, and see that provisions are made
that the poor may have the gospe
preached unto them.
Respectfully,
J. n. HARTMAN.
