sainted patriot visiting the scene of
his earthly labors and witnessing the
fruits of his sacrifices in the felicity
and increase of the land. President
John Quincy Adams addressed him in
the words of the ford eloquence of
that day, saying that IF in future days
a Frenchman shall be called on to indi-
cate the character of his nation by
that of one individual, the blood of
lofty patriotism shall mantle in his
cheek, the fire of conscious virtue shall
sparkle in his eye, and he shall pro-
nounce the name of La Fayette." He
visited the tomb of Washington, and,
! descending into the vault alone, lin
gered in silent communion with the
dead. On June II, 1925, he laid the cor
ner stone of the monument at Bunker
Hill, the only present surviving staff
officer of the army of the revolution.
He, the founder of the nation, heard
| the famous address of Daniel Webster,
! its matchless constitutional defender.
In September, 1925, he left our shores.
| In 1880 he was again called to the head
of the national guard of France, and
in the public clamor for the republic
might possibly have been made its
president. On May 20, 1884, at II years
of age, full of honor, "the man of two
worlds" he died.

that should dwell in this magic land,
and fascinate you by their gorgeous
colors and their graceful, wavy mo.
tions.
There is a great green "parrot-fish,"
as brilliant in color as his namesake
the bird, showing himself boldly, and
swimming along slowly, secure from
any assault. His scales are green as
the fresh grass of springtime, and
each one is bordered by palebrown
line. His fins are pink, and the end of
the tail is banded with nearly every
color of the rainbow. He is snowy, but
this showiness serves him a good pur-
pose. His flesh is bitter and poisonous
to man, and probably so to other fishes
as well, anG they let him well alone,
for they can recognize him afar off,
thanks to his gaudy dress.
Underneath the parrot, lying on the
bottom, is :. ''pink hind" You notice
him, and as the parrot passes over him
he suddenly changes to bright scarlet,
and as quickly resumes his former
faint color. Had the parrot been look
ing for his dinner, and thought the
hind would make a good first course,
this sudden change of color might
have scared him off, just as the sudden
bristling of cat makes dog change
his mind. When the hind is disturbed
at night lie gives out flashes of light
to startle the intruder and send him
away in frIght.-Prof. c. L. Bristol, in
st. Nicholas.

pierced the bulls heart, entered only
about six or seven inches and was then
tossed high in the air by the Infatuated
animal. Pepe-Hillo's life was saved
through deXterous move on his part.
The people were disguised, and they
hurled at their erstwhile favorite such
epithets as cheat" and ''poltroon."
For three or four minutes Pepe-Hillo,
driven by their taunts. slashed wildly
to the left and right in a vain attempt
to accomplish his purpose. Finally it
was seen that the bull was bleeding
from wound in his side, which is
against all the sacred traditions of
bull-fghting.
At that the crowd stormed their in
dignation. The president sounded an
alarm, which informed the espada that
if the bull lived five minutes longer
Pepe-Hillo'S name would be stricken
from the roll of honor. At last, just
as the public rage reached its high
est point, the bull was seen to tremble
and a moment Later dropped dead.
SHANE, Pepe-Hillo; you have dis
graced your calling." were the words
that rang in the ears of the matador
as he left the ring.
Amid the tumult the governor gen.
eral ordered the withdrawal of tho
surviving bull. Then standing up in
his box he ordered the people to go
home, promising to stand by them in
their determination to abolish bull
fighting.

SOME BRILLIANT FISH.
Strange Specimens Found in
West Indian Waters.

The clear, limpid waters that sur
round Bermuda and the West Indies
lie above coral reefs covered with
plants and animals, many of which are
brilliant in color as a rainbow. They
look like glimpses of fairyland, and as
your eye wanders from one wonder to
another you catch yourself striving to
peek just around some corner into a
strange nook, half hoping to see bevy
of mermen and mermaids sporting and
playing within the crannies. Here is
apatch of pale-green sea-lettuce; there
a group of great purple sea fans; yoa-
der some golden corals standing out
like shelf or branching like a tree;
while among them all swim lovely
fishes that take the place of the fairies

Rows of a Century Ago,

A pioneer boy found his life an inter-
esting one. While still young he re-
ceived careful training in initiating the
notes and calls of birds and wild ami
mails. At IL years of age he became a
foot soldier, with port hole assigned to
him for use in case of an Indian attack.
He received careful training also in fol-
lowing an Indian trail and in conceal
ing his own when on the war path. For
expert knowledge of this kind was nee
essary in the midst of dangers from
unseen foes that were likely to creep
stealthily upon the settlers, whether
they were working IN the clearings or
hunting in the forest.

Famous Frenchmnn who Fought for

In 1924 La Fayette carried out his
long-cherished purpose of revisiting
America. He sailed from Havre July

Washington, to spend year in the re-
public he had helped to found. His
eyes fell on teeming states where he
had left narrow seaboard line of
struggling colonies. New York well
coined him with the widest acclama-
lions. During the year he went all
over the country, through the west and
south, greeted with affection; gazing
on new commonwealth sprung out of
the wilderness; witnessing the excit-

Dittmar Wants His Case Against the
CastelIanes and GouIds Advanced

ALBANY, y. Y. March PA motion
was made to-day before the Court Of APP

mar against Boni. Count De Castellane,
Anna Gould, Countess De Castellane, de-
PENDANTS. and George Gould, Edwin Gould,
Howard Gould and Helen NJ. Gould as
trustees under the last will and testament
of Jay Gould. The applicant was repre-
sented by former Attorney General ;. w.
Rosendale, representing the firm of Gus-
genheimer. Untermeier & Marshall, and the
respondents by Lorenzo Sample.
The plaintiff has sued Count and Countess
De Castellane for 1877 600, being a creditor
who did not enter into the litigation in the
United States Supreme Court, under which
II was decided that the claims, aggregatlng
nearly $2,OO0.000 and due TO 107 creditors.
should be paid on pro rata basis, in order
that the surplus income of the estate left
TO the countess by her father might be
preserved and the securing of preferences
by any one creditor prevented. The plain
tiff began an action individually in the
State courts to secure the entire amount of
his claim at once.

KENTUCKY ELECTION CASE.
Representative Boreing Attacks the
GOebeI Election Law.

WASHINGTON, March 24-Mr. Boreing,
of Kentucky. injected an attack on the
Goebel election law into the discussion of
the Moss-Rhea contested election case
from the Third Kentucky district, which
again occupied the attention of the House
to-day, but Mr.. Rhea declined to be drawn
into an extended debate on an issue not
directly involved in the case. He con-
tented himself with paying his respects 10
Mr.. Boreing, charging the latter with
ignorance of the law of his own State MI
Rhea made strong presentation of his
side of the case, but had not concluded
when the House adjourned. The vote will
be taken about o'clock tomorrow. The
other speakers to-day were Mr.. Bowie of
Alabama Mr.. Bowers of Maine and Mr.
Fox of Mississippi.
Mr.. Boreing declared the Goebel election
law was enacted to crush the public WILL -
and was used TO turn out duly elected State
officers and place in power defeated candi-
dates. He said IL made the election ma
chinery Of the State an adjunct of the
Democratic organization. Under it the Re
publicanS had been able TO elect only thirty
members of the Legislature out of 100, al
though Beckham had carried the State by
only $500 plurality. The Goebel law was so
obnoxious and outrageous, he said that
within six months after it was stated that
il would stand forever as monument to
the memory of it's authors. the Kentucky
Legislature was convened TO repeal its
most offensive features.
The Senate amendments to the bill to
repeal the war revenue taxes were nom
concurred in and the bill was sent TO con-

pie will sustain the President in a course
designed to fix in law the powers of rail
road corporations instead of acceding to
them all they demand.
The railroad corporations have been
treating the Interstate-commerce Commits
sion and the law which II was to execute
as nonentities. and at times it has seemed
as If the commission regarded itself in
that light. A number of corporations be-
came so bold that they confessed with an
air of satisfaction that they had violated
the interstate law requiring them TO publish
rates for freight which shall be the same
for all. Not only is the evil "A great one,
working injustice between citizen and citi-
zen entitled TO the same privileges and de-
stroying one at the expense of another. but
its confession involves brazen violation
Of the law Of the land which the President
could not ignore if he should wish. and
which it is evident President Roosevelt does
not wish. Suits have been begun against
roads which have violated the interstate
commerce law regarding freight charges to
enjoin them from such violation. If such
corporations have not been violating the
law they have no cause of complaint, and if
they have all that remains for them to do
is TO obey the law hereafter. There is no
occasion for the railroad magnates to go to
the President with complaints or to give
out significant remarks about his not being
supported. He at any rate has nearly three
years to begin with If the magnates con-
template a disagreeable season. Moreover,
great financial interests were never unset
tied by decisions of the Supreme Court of
the United States.
