The arrangements were so perfectly
made, so secretly planned and so
cleverly executed that not until the
marriage was irrevocably complete
We're Patrick's guards cognizant that
it was even intended. The fact that
Commissioner OF Correction Hynes had
declared his opposition to a marriage
between the prisoner and the woman,
who has been so faithful to him dur
ing his long incarceration, and the ex-
hausting tension of the ong-drawn
out trial, made the Tombs officials
more alert to prevent marriage in
the prison.
Mrs. Francis, accompanied by her at
torney, her sister, and Patricks father,
called at the Tombs and asked for a
conference with the prisoner. He was
escorted TO the matrons room, and aft

have stepped outside 1t is said the
wedding contracts were then signed by
Patrick and Mrs. Francis in duplicate.

Ramie, "China Grass Can BE
Grown in This Country.
Washington Post.

washington GOSt
The Department Of Agriculture is intro
ducing the cultivation Of "ramie,' some
times called China grass, in the United
indebted 10 Mr.. II. s. Slaught Of this city,
for valuable assistance. Ramie is vari-
ETY. of tall grass indigenous TO the Island
of Java, which yields a fiber Of such fine
ness that in some places il has received
the name of ''vegeta BILE silk" Up to a year
or so ago It was practically unknown in the
United States, although employed in the
mills Of Europe for nearly a century, and
in the Orient time out Of mind. in the man
ufacture OF the famous khaki cloth" from
which the khaki uniforms of the British
East Indian regiments are made. In fact
ramie is the only plant from which II Is
possible to make the khaki cloth.
In addition TO its use in the making Of
the fabric aforesaid. ramie fiber is used
with wool, cotton and silk in making other
varieties of cloth, dress goods, lace. blank
cts. upholstering and waterproof goods
imported into this country from Europe
was raised and the fiber manufactured in
this country.
Until a year or ago the opinion pre-
vailed that the ramie plant, coming as II
does from a warm climate. could not be
grown in the United States. but Mr.
Slaught has dispelled this theory by raising
a beautiful crop OF this grass on the
grounds Of the Department OF Agriculture
and on Alexander island. during the past
summer, thus demonstrating that IL was
possible to raise ramie In the United States
far north as Washington Lately Mr.
Slaught has reconstructed the ramie ex-
hibit in the departments agricultural mu-
scum. in a way that shows what may be
manufactured from the fiber.

TRAINING WILD ANIMALS.
Animals Bred in Captivity Harder TO
Train.

Harvey Sutherland. in Ainslee's Magazine
1 suppose we shall have to rid ourselves
OF the notion that looking a lion in the
eye will break his proud spirit and send
him sinking into a corner embarras sed TO
death 1 have tried to stare lions out OF
countenance-frOm this side OF the bars. of
course-and they stood il for as much as
I'VE minutes before they turned away with
q supercilious expression that seemed TO

time you see me. The idea of that whfTet

WINGED that in those five minutes, il ] had
been inside the cage, 1 should have been
completely united for business.
Another notion Is that wild animals are
unre2sonably afraid of FIRE. They are not
more afraid OF fire than of any other
strange thing, and when they learn how IL
can hurt-well, even We will move over the
least little bit TO avoid a red-hot poker
There have been great improvements in
the ART or training wild animals within the
last few years Merely 10 go into the cage

laughed the notion TO scorn.
We have learned how TO breed these
wild animals in captivity" he said. ut is
largely a matter of giving them the food
and the opportunity they have in their nat
ural state. The only advantage, aside from
the added information about their life his
tory. has been that they come cheaper TO
raise than TO capture. They aren't bit
tanner. They aren't so easy TO manage.
1t is the same thing with them il is
with us. Familiarity breeds contempt. A
lion right out OF the jungle is scared half
TO death by everything around him here,
and can be cOwed into doing what you
want easier than cub that has always

three or four days after birth. Domestic
kittens don't open theirs short OF from
eight 10 twelve days. That's something
you won't find in the books. Another
thing. the books say that a young lion
doesn't begin to grow a name until he is
three years old i have seen the name
start when they were less than year old.
About tigers cubs l do not know
much. Some have been born in cages, but
they have not lived TO grow up. L don't
think there are any leopards born in cap
uvity. L know that only two baby ele-
plants have been born in this country

1871, ana Bridgeport, by Chief, out OF queen,

Mandarin and Babe were gentle and tract

almost anything except read. Chief and
Queen were the two meanest elephants
that ever ate hay, and Bridgeport was
meaner than both Of them put together
