Presented by Its Inventor to
Mr.. Chamberlain.

An ingenious clock, which forms q
curious mementO of the siege of Mafe-

up with the trout in its mouth on the
opposite side Of the creek. McCarty
shot it as it was crawling out on the
bank. The trout dropped back into the
water still alive. 1t wiggled about on
the surface again, gradually gaining
strength, although the muskrat's teeth
had made deep wound in its belly, and
at last swan away up the creek and
disappeared.
4 fisherman on Lake Ariel, near
Scranton, one day last week. saw a big
fish tioundering around on the surface
of the water near the shore. He rowed
over to the spot.
The tioundering fish was a pickerel.
The fisherman knocked it in the head
with an oar. Then he found that the
pickerel had tried to swallow a good
sized catfish, which had set its spines
to prevent its swallowing. The result
was that the pickereI could neither get
the catfish up nor down, and fell VIC
tim to its greed
viii Jennings was driving along the
road by Lawrence's academy, near
Chester, the other day, when he heard
rafting in the bushes. He investi-
gated and found a woodchuck with its
head buried in a big tomato can, and
unable to get it out.
Jennings killed the woodchuck. 1t
was much emaciated, showing that it
had been fast in the tin can a long time,
and was being slowly starved to death.
How it got its head in the can no one
knows.
Ames Young, of Sterling, Wayne
county, took load Of hay to Scran-
ton the other day and so1dit When he
went TO unload it at the barn of the
man who bought it he found big hor-
nets nest hanging to a beam in the
NOW.
To render the occupants of the nest
harmless some sulphur was placed in
pail, set on fire, and held under the
nest so the fumes would suffocate the
hornets. The pail was held too close,
the nest caught fire and dropped into
the pail.
The hornets began 10 swarm out and

chucBed it, nest, fire and all, out Of
the NOW window. 1t fell on the load Of
hay, which caught fire. Young had
time to get his horses unlocked and
out of the way, but the hay and hay
wagon and part of the barn were con-
Sumed. The hornets escaped.

Jesse Travis. of Starrucca, Wayne
county, Pa, was ehopping in the
woods on his farm few days ago.
The barking Of a little dogthat accom-
panied him by and by attracted his at
tention.
He went to the spot where the dog
was, writes a New York Sun CORE
spOHdent. and discovered a silver gray
fox, which. in running past a shag-
bark hickory tree had been caught by
its bushy tail in the rough, strong,
bristling bark of the tree. Effort to
eXtricate itself had only drawn the
tail tighter in the hold of the bark.
The dog had been afraid TO tackle the
fox, and stood al a safe distance, bark
ing Travis knocked the fox on the head
with his AK and had a pelt the like of
which has not been seen in the Pennsyl-
vania woods for many years. 1t is
worth more than a months chopping
of cordwood.
Virgil McCarty was scouting about
the marshes at the headwaters Of the
Lackawanna the other day on the look
out for possible shot at jacksnipe,
when a muskrat slipped into the water
just ahead Of him. A second later a
large trout leaped a foot or more
above the surface of the water and the
back Of the muskrat came in sight.
The trail fell back into the stream. In
stantly there were signs of a struggle
in the water. The back Of the muskrat
came in sight again and McCarty fired
at it. The muskrat turned over, dead.
McCarty pulled it ashore. The trout
was in its mouth. 1t was still
alive. McCarty removed it care
fully from the muskrat's mouth and
placed it in the water. While he was
watching it feebly swimming about on
the surface it suddenly went down
with a sharp jerk. \ watersnake had

AdeIbert Waller, saloon keeper, Of
New Brunswick, y. j., has been missing
money right along Of late from his till.
The thief took onlysills, not bothering
with the small change. The other
morning Mr.. Wahler pulled the draw
er open and found a bill half inside it
and the other half pulled through a
small hole. Mr. Wahler took the
drawer out and found that rats had
gnawed a hole right up TO the till and
were carrying money away through
the hole. He found number of bills
half chewed up in the cavity.

Lieut. Nisbet'S armored train at
Creepan. These shots were fired back
into Mafeking during the siege. The

The central pillar, which carries the
clock, is made from the front part of a
seyeu-pounder shell, which was taken
by the Beers when DR.. Jameson sur
rendered at DOornkop. This was also

ANCIENT WISH RITES.
Some of Those Dead for 2,OyO Yenrs
 Revived fin Chicngo.

Chica go April 13.-Rites of the ancient Jewish faith, dead for 2,000 years, were revived in Chicago to-day when mem bers paid sums ranging from $10 to $1- 900 for the privilege of performing cer- tain rites connected with the laying of the cornerstone of the new Home for Aged Orthodox Jews at Ogden and AL bany avenues.
 Samuel Schwartz of Waukegan gave S1 GOO for the privilege of laying the cor nerstone. The lighting of the sacred candles was the ceremony next in i'm portance and the privilege of applying the flame to the first one was sold for Sl50. The right to light the second brought $75 and S55 each was paid for the privilege of lighting the third and fourth. The others were sold all the way from $50 down to S10 until the last. Then the bidding became spirited when it was known that but one more was to be lighted, and S175 was paid for the privilege. After this there were the privileges of passing the sacred wine and breaking the bread, with other rites which were sold, so that large part of the cost of the home was realized from the ceremonies.

New York, April 13.-Fifty persons had narrow escapes from drowning to- day when a gang plank leading to a float at the foot of West Forty second street broke in two, hurling fifteen fashionably dressed men and women into the North river, twenty into launches and rowboats beneath the gang plank and fifteen on to a float. Following the accident there was wild confusion among 300 persons who were crowded along the gangway. Fortu- nately there were seven or eight launches and rowboats in the immedi- ate vicinity and the work of rescue was immediately begun If was fifteen minutes however before the last person was dragged from the river
 Several hundred men and women had gone to the gangway to embark in launches and rowboats and be taken out to the Austrian cruiser Szigetvar, which is anchored in the stream when the gang plank leading to a float from which launches were taking out pas- sengers, gave way.
 A crew of life savers is stationed nearby and they quickly got to work The women were first pulled out of the water and then the men were rescued. were summoned and the persons revived by the surgeons, while those hurt had their wounds dressed.

TO DISSOLVE BEEF TRUST
WILMINGTON REPORTED TO HAVE
 ORDERED LEGAL ACTION.
United States District Attorney of Mis- souri Instructed to Proceed by tho At- torney General-A Federal Grand Jury to be Called and Its Sessions Com menced i'm Week.

Kansas City, Mo, April 13,-The
 Journal tomorrow will say: According to a despatch from Wash 1 ington Major William Warner, United States District Attorney, has been in- structed by the Attorney General to take immediate steps to dissolve the so-
 called beef trust. A federal grand jury will be ordered this week to commence it's session next Monday. Major War
 ner yesterday positively declined to
 make any statement whatever regard ing the matter.
 Nothing so important to the entire people has occurred in years as the ordering of this investigation, if it should traspire to be a fact as it is believed to be. In the past year, but notably in the past six months, the price of meat has gone up in an alarm ing way.
 "The attorney for one of the largest packers in Kansas City, after hearing the dispatch to the Journal read said: "We anticipated such a move as this, but we scarcely thought that it would go to the length of having the district attorney summon grand jury as l un- derstand Major Warner has arranged to do. AS to the merits or demerlts of the case I have nothing to say. Of course, all agree that meats are up. So are cat tle.'
 "A large retail dealer said: We think there is a trust. No butcher is allowed to slaughter his own cattle. If he does a butcher shop will start up next door to him and he will find himself under sold on everything he offers for sale. It is this treatment which compels all of us to buy from the packers and all packers charge the same price. "
