KILLED BY GORILLA.

A strange duel wss fought lately 10
the Marseilles ZIo between the only
adult gorilla in Europe and his keeper.
The gorilla was killed after fight last
log 20 minutes, in which the keeper
was so horribly maneled t1at he died
five hours lstsr. The famous gorilla
was named Francois. He was one OF
the largeit species and bad been tract
able, showing especial affection for bis
keeper, NJ. JourDoux, until the latter
married, few weeks ago. The bride
visited the Zoo often and the gorilla
was sensitive to the after ton she
showed him. When he perceived t1st
she undoubt IDLY preferred his keep
er Francois became more and more
Jealous, and finally Journoux found 1t
impossible to approach the gorilla, es'
pecally ii Nine. Journoux WAS 10 sight.
Two days ago Francois was 80 surly and
quiet that the keeper thought be was
sick and eli sred the cage to comfolt I
his former pet. The gorilla immt-
distely sprang upon his hated rival.
Journoux held q short tamer's folk,
which alone accounts for the fight last
ing so long. 1t beiog dinner time, all
the other keepers had Withdrawn to a
distant shsnty. Only TIRES children
witnessed the terrible fight. and they
were 80 ,rrif,d they failed u bring

WOMEN TURN GAMBLERS

A decided sensation has been caused
in Bait mUre local circles By an occur
renee last week illustrating conditions
which have been caused through the
prevalence of gambling among fashion
able women. The iDcidet relates ID a
girl barely over Is years OF age, and q
debutsrte, who, during a visit 10 the
house OF q friend, was induced t) en-
gage in 8 game of cards. The game
was q small one, apparently, 25 ceI t q
hand Deiug the limit. The girl knew
very little about cards and bad never
before played for money. She wss re.
lu, t INT to engage 10 the game, but
iiuslly sat down "t) be socisble," and
began to play.
Sue was "lsmb," OF course, and an
easy mark for the persons who we're
PLAYING at her table. OF course she
Lost, as IL was, no doubt, intended that
she should. Game after game was
played, and the evening wore on, the
young girl endeavorins again and
again to leave the table, but was pre-
vailed on each time to remain. Finally
It lsts hour, play was stopped, and
nan the girl found, t } her horror, lat
sbe had lost $50
She had no money with her, and
was greatly embarrassed by the situa-
ton In which che was placed. Rising
from the table, blushiDg and ashamed,
she said that she would arrange to pay
the debt. Those ct the table, however,
8 lid lat she would have D give her note
for the amount If she could net pay at
once what she owed. She indignantly SO d
Z 1st she had 20 bank account and t1at
it would bs usele.s for her tl give 0
note. Her companions then insisted
that she should sign an acknowlsdR-
ment OF the debt, which she did. This
acknowledgment was preset sd to The
fst Ter OF the girl, who, while greatly
shocked ct the occurrence and indig-
nslt at the position In which his
daughter had been placed, paid toe
debt. He, however, has cut oil bis
daughters allowance for a year as o
punishment for her folly in allowing
herself to be persuaded to gamble.
This incident is only one of many
that are couttlI t y occurring in society
circles, where gambling has become an
evil that has infected much OF the
social strata. Some society women
who are generally supposed to be other,
wise correct have become confirmed
gamblers.

THE C4TIN MAssA

The harmless, necessary cat has suc- ceeded in attracting the attention of the Massachusetts legislature A bill is before that august body which provides that every owner or keeper of cat which is three months or more old shall each year before April 30 have the ami nal licensed for one year and cause 1t to wear about its neck collar bearing the registered number and the owners name. Anyone who owns cat which attains the age of three months after when it reaches the licensing age. The rrice of the license is to be fifty-cents' In Boston the Board of Police is to is- sue the licenses, while in other cities or towns the duty is to fall to the clerks The fine for violation of the act is fixed at five dollars. The assessors are to take list annually of all the cats, With in ten days after July 1 each year all cats not properly licensed are to be killed.
 The inventors and promoters Of this hill think that if it becomes law cats that have not homes and friends will be saved from suffering by being sent to the happy hunting ground of cats Perhaps such law would work as well as inc dog law has worked. It would be expensive for the women who ma many cats necessary to their happiness but such women would perhaps be will ;nu to make sacrifices in order to have their pets more legal than they are now

.INOTH ER FEOP.

We suppose that some members or the Connecticut Constitutional Conven- ton felt quite proud when they were elected. Possibly some of them looked forward and saw posterity reading the record of their sayings and doings, ana felt that posterity would look on them with the respect due good constitution makers. If such members are still proud and still look forward to a respectful and admiring posterity they are what the sports know as "stayers." Present indications are that if posterity hap pens to read the record of the Conven- ton it will not be with much respect. Such twisting and turning and Hopping as the Convention has been doing gives new point to the saying Thou knowest not what day may bring forth. Yes terdav brought forth a vote for the ln- definite postpouement of the resolution providing for increased representation from the big towns. This was rever- sal of the action which the day perofe yesterday brought forth and 1t sicKeh- ed those who had been made hoperul by the action of the day before yester- day.
 The Convention felt that it ought to rest after this, and 1t Will rest uiitll next Tuesday What will happen then nobody knows. Perhaps there will be another flop The Convention has now been in session two months, and yester- days somersault leaves it about where it was when it began, with flood or futile talk added.

NO SENTIMENT IN BUSINESS.

Prince Henry is with us, and well come American hospitality greets hin as guest and acknowledges the friend liness denoted by his coming. But 1t would he a serious mistake to slop over and conclude that the overtures from Germany mean more than the known facts will warrant. There is not just now a power in Europe that does not court an alliance with the uhlted States. and there are some of them that grow sycophantic in their advances Germany is not among the nunper' The character of the Teuton is never captive to his sentiments. He unltes to A degree the American sense of deslr- able enterprise and the tenacity ot the thrifty Scot. If we ever form coaii- ton of any kind with Germany it will be upon fair terms of mutual adVan- tage. She will have voice in the com pact, or there will be none.
 This attitude on her part can attract nothing but approval We have all the greater respect for her because while we are greeting the royal representative with the best of feeling the relchstag is, going right on with Its plans to pay us off in our own tariff coin. It as clearly says as though the verdict had been sealed and delivered that, in the absence of treaty stipulations, the satne rates of duty shall be applied to for eien goods as are enforced in the coun- I try of their origin against similar Ger | man goods. It is a fair, square counter blow, and American pluck can only ad- poire it, We made the Dingley rates | against Germany, and she is consider ate to embody them in her own legis- lation, instead of going farther under spirit of retaliation
