BUFFALO BILL PICTURE.
It Is Called 'The Life I Love- and
Col Cody Admires It.

Detroit, Dec 20.-Of the large amount of
personal belongings taken abroad by Col.
William f. Cody, when he sailed for his
two years sojourn in Europe recently,
nothing was packed with greater care or
gave genial Buffalo Bill more concern
than a large painting purchased by the
famous scout from Irving R. Bacon,
young Detroit artist. The large canvas
34x22 feet-is called .The Life 1 Love-
and depicts Col Codyfs return to camp
after a long days hunt in the Shoshone
mountains.
Astride his spirited horse and in his
characteristic attitude, Buffalo Bill has
just galloped into camp with another
deer The spoils of the chase are sus-
pended from branches of trees everywhere
while the huntsmen are lounging about
the blazing camp fire. Artist Bacon has
succeeded in catching the very spirit of
the action and atmosphere and the paint
ing IS one of remarkable virility and
charm
The canvas was painted by Mr. Bacon
here in Detroit during the past three
months. and 10 days ago was taken to
Chicago for Col. Cody's inspection. That
gentleman was delighted with it and had
II placed on exhibition in the rotunda of
the Auditorium Annex, where for two
days 1t was the center of large crowds
and brought many compliments to the ar
list Col Cody paid Mr.. Bacon hand
some price for it, and Immediately ar
ranged to take it to Europe with him.
He will place it in the foyer of the OIyn1-
pla nan IN London, Eng, where the wild
west show Will exhibit all winter and in
the spring when the cowboys and Indians
go on the continent the painting will be
taken along.
This IS the third picture Artist Bacon
mas painted with Buffalo Bill as the CEN
tral inquire, and all of them are now in
man.

Creditors.

Buffalo, Dec 20-All the Buffalo cred
itors of the Pan-American exposition
coming under the $500, 900 appropriation
made by congress have received war

of the company finally closed up. Then
all the lawsuits necessary to wind up
the company will have been disposed of
and the company will pass out of ex-
istence."

ENDED IN A DRAW.
Ten Round Bout Between McCleIland
and Toy at Plttsburg.

Pittsburg. Pa, Dec. 2o.-The ten round
bout last night between Jack McCIelland
Of Pittsburg and Eddie Toy Of San Fran
cisco ended in draw.
In the first round Toy reopened wound
over McClelland's eye and the blood kept
Mac in distress until the end of the fight.
Until the third round McCIeIland forced
the fighting. Toy In this round staggered
the Pittsburger with a blow on the chin
but he retaliated with a vicious rush
which temporarily put Toy in bad way.
The fourth and fifth and sixth rounds
were even, with both men doing fast work
and both bleeding profusaly. The sue
ceeding rounds were principally PUSHES
and clinches, each man trying hard for
a knockout, but each unable to land.

George William Curtis, one of the most popular lecturers, once went to a village in the state of New York. In view of party differences, they begged him not to talk politics. He had noth- ing in readiness except lecture on ThacIeray. Nobody in the audience had read of his novels. Curtis allusions and criticisms fell upon the void. Al the close of the lecture the chief per sonages casge to greet him. "Mr. Cur tis.'' said tl,e school master, ''you must bring about among us an agreement on one point. For a week we have been disputing over Longfellow, whether he's deaC or isn't dead.' T dined with him. an:wered Curtis, "a fortnight ago.

down, and immediately began war dance, springing from his seat like a jack-in-the-box. A good-looking young woman by his side seized his damp coat tails, and, with cry of "Oh, Chouy." joined in the remarkable scene.
 The conductor rushed forward and endeavored to, calm the strangely ex- cited trio. He collared the young man, and, uttering whoop that could be heard two blocks under ordinary att mospheric conditions, joined in the wild dance.
 About that time the floor and near ly everything else in the car began to sputter. The dancers sputtered loud- CT than anything else, and there was a swish a curl of blue smoke, and a sudden stoppage of the car. The three passengers tumbled into the seat in heap, the fat woman on top. The conductor waved his arms frantically, and then pulled the big woman off the heap
 Must be water in the slot, he said, with an air of great wisdom.

PARROT AS DEFECTIVE.
A Bright Bird That Knew Wines Afa- ed in the Discovery of Some
 Stolen Bottles.

This is fact, says correspond cnt of the Gentlewoman, though you may be inclined to feel skeptical. Some people I knew in the country had fine cellar and a parrot of pe- culiar perspicacity. They taught him to know the different wines.
 'Ah!" he would exclaim, as they moistened his beak with claret, "77!" CT, if few drops of champagne "S9," "S4,'' or "93,' as the case might f be. He never made mistake as to the vintage.
 At last my friends thought that tho bird was getting uncanny. They quite longed to catch him mapping, and one day to try and put him out they sent for bottle of cheap port from the village grocer. The parrot slipped the port, and what did he ex- claim but: Best of alll 54l''
 My friends tasted the wine. It was peculiarly good. To the village gro- cer they went, and demanded an ex- planation. The old man faltered and reddened, and on being pressed for the history of the wine, admitted that butler recently discharged from the family had sold him few bottles of 54 port from their cellars, and that the bottle in question was 54 portt
