When Cody Lost His Temper.

Those who in earlier times have hunted buffaloes on the western plains know to what extremes the butfalo's anger sometimes leads. But the keep CTS of the animals in Van Courtlandt park saw it themselves the other day, when Cody, one of the buffaloes. be- came dissatisfied with his surround ings and decided to try to make a change by showing the keepers and other animals what he could really do when he tried. So really genuine was his outbreak that the keepers feared for the safety of the other animals. and commenced at once to remove them until Cody should have regained his composure. In the course of a few moments he overcame the recol- lections of his wild days on the plains and again settled down to the quiet. peaceful life of Van Courtlandt park N. |. Herald.

REPORTED A DEFAULTER.
The suicide Supreme Recorder WILL fam Hofmeisfer. of the Legion of
 Honor. short s3O.5I4.69.

St Louis. March 13.--The late Will jam IL Hofmeister was a defaulter to the Legion of Honor to the extent of S30, 0,5i4.e9, according to the report of an expert accountant who has been examining the books since the sui eide of the former supreme recorder of the order on January 21. the day following his defeat for reelection.

THE BIG BOSTON STRIKE.
Twenty Thousand Men Now Idle in the City as a Result of
 the Trouble.
M,s. MORE MAY BECOME INVOLVED.
The Business Men Staggered. and Many Conferences Have Keen Held in an Effort to Find Basis of Agreement Between the Parties at War.

Boston, March 13.-The strike of 600 New York, New Haven X Hart ford railroad freight handlers, which began last Saturday. has ex- tended until now there are 20,O0o men idle in this city. Of these 5000 to D. 900 were employed by manufacturing concerns. which have been compelled to shut down because of the dlfficui- ty of handling freight. The various lines of industry directly reached by the strike included freight handlers, team drivers. wool handlers, long shoremen and railway switchmen. If the threats of the strike leaders are borne out the movement will be eN- tended to the Building Trades union and to unions connected with the for eign steamship traffic.
 The business men of the city find themselves staggered by the strike. Many conferences have been held, the influence of the civic federation has been invoked and the state board of arbitration has tried to find Il ground for agreeemnt between the parties at war, but apparently there is lit. tie confidence that the desired re- suit will be reached by these means.
 There is great hope that a meeting arranged by Gov. Crane, between the labor leaders, railroad officials and merchants to be held at the state house will show some way out.
 The New York, New Haven X Hart. ford railroad and the Boston x Al bany division of the New York Cen tral have forces adequate to handle all the traffic. There is no trouble over the movement of outgoing freight, but incoming merchandise had accumulated in formidable quan- tity. The Boston X Maine road has not yet lost it's regular force of freight handlers and clerks. but with teaming tied up their freight houses and yards are becoming congested like those of other lines. Arrange ments have been made for the trans fer of through freight without delay at this point.
 At the docks of the steamship lines doing a coastwise business great quantities of merchandise are piled up and the wharves are chol,ed. The longshoremen are out and the material can not be moved. The eN- press companies are tied up and there is a threat that the hack driv- CTS will join the strike if an issue is made because they carry passengers with trunks, large parcels or matter which should go by express. The strike of the coal teamsters presents one of the most alarming features of the trouble, as it menaees not only many industries but also the welfare of householders and especially the people in the poorer quarters of the city.

SPOILED THE PYRAMIDS.
Geographies, Picture Books and Mark Twain.

fear geographies and picture books have half spoiled the pyramids for many of us, making them seem eem- monplace. just as children's readers have spoiled some good English po- etry. Then Mark Twain has set the fashion of being funny about these venerable piles. and, between the two influences. first impressions are apt to be disturbed. There are tourists who arrive with a hippant Hello. Cheops, old boy.' There are others who give only tolerant interest, as if they had seen it all before. Yet many of both classes go away in reverent silence, wishing people had taught them less or more-about the pyramids. For one thing, take the matter of dust and heat, in which the picture book mak- CTS have surely misled us. for do they not represent the pyramids as stand ing out on burning waste with only naked palm tree every mile or so to keep the glare off, and individuals in queer hats gasping about.

GOTHAM'S MONEY-LENDERS.

Frequently he sends one of his partners to the floor of the exchange when other bulls or bears are in a demoralized condition with the an- nouncement that he has $10000, 900 or S1j.000,000 to lend at the legal rate.

Passengers who arrived on trains from Boston said they had eN- perienced difficulty in getting their baggage to the trains, and that the strike caused much inconvenience in other ways.
