Governor Davis is Defiant.

When Gov. Davis reached Washington City a few days ago on his junket from New York to to the state of Washington, on his big vacation, he received a tele- gram from a newspaper cores pondent at Little Rock informing him that charges had been pre- ferred against him in the Second Baptist Church of Little Rock of which the governor is a member, to which the governor wired the following reply:
 "Who preferred charges? Whosoever said I was drunk or gambled is an infamous liar. Publish this in your paper. Am ready for trial at any and all times, and defy the traitors and hypocrits to do their worst. Will d dmit nothing that is not true, will surrender my seat as governor first. When a trial occurs I want time to get wit nesses and council. I will then prefer in writing specific charges against some of the biggest hypo- crits and members ostensibly in the highest standing in the church. defy them and de- mand a trial as soon as I return home. I don't deem matter of enough importance to abandon my trip, even for day. My on ly offense is that 1 lent my hum- ble assistance in defeating their idol, James K. Jones, who is now a political corpse, and the official decapitation of my distinguished friend, Gov. Eagle. They may turn me out of the church, but the Lord will take care of his own, and my friends have borne kind- ly and gently above this vile islander and persecution. Please publish this in full"
 (Signed) JEFF DAVIS,
 Governor. =

Spindle Top for many miles. While no oil has been struck any where except at one point in the vicinity of Sour Lake, yet the prospectors are apparently not willing to surrender and leases are still being taken and new movements started all the time.

package in the mail from the Philip
pines which when opened revealed a
tattered and shredded parchment. it
represented the remnants of a COM
mission issued only u few months ago
to Lieut.. DinmOnt. who was recently
appointed an officer in the regular

fully folded the commission out and
inspected it. a strange feature was
that while the rodents had eaten into
the sides and upper and lower corners,
they had not destroyed single por-
ton of any Of the official signatures.
President Roosevelt's was in the lower
right-hand corner, Secretary Roots
opposite. and Gen. Corbin's in the up

the paper to a depth of three and four
inches. new commission has been

The people of Alaska are being

HORSES KILL TIGER.
FerOciua Beast IL WorKted While
Trying to Make Meal on
the EQuines.

A two-year-old Indian tiger was
killed in fight with horses on q cir
Gus train while en- route from Goshen
to Poughkeepsie, n. Y. early the other
day.
The tiger, which had been recently
imported, escaped from its wagon den
while the train was in motion. 1t
crawled over the tops of four wagons
and entered car containing 80 draft
horses. A fierce battle ensued, the
panic-stricken horses plunging and
kicking at the savage intruder.
When the train reached here the
tiger was found dead and mangled I'M
der the hoofs of one of the horses.
Most of the horses were badly
scratched and bitten.
II is the first case on record. the
showmen say, of horse killing tiger.
The striped beast was confined in a
cage that was on fat car in the
train when II started on a short run
to this city at an early hour. Next TO
the car carrying the tiger cage was
stock car, in which were 80 of the
best horses in the show.
In some manner unexplained the
tiger got out of its cage after the train
was under way. Circus hands were
asleep under the cage, but were not
awakened.
The beast had paid no attention to
them, and appearances indicate that
he made his way along the car and
forced himself into the opening al the
end of the car containing the horses.
The animals were packed in, and
from the deep gashes on their backs
II would appear that the tiger climbed
over them until he reached the mid
die Of the car, when he attempted TO
make a meal of Toby. The ensuing
struggle was terrific. All of the wood
work in the interior of the car was
smashed and the side walls and top
were covered with blood.
The terrified horses, in their efforts
to get away from the fierce beast that
had attacked them in the darkness,
crowded toward the end of the car,
leaving space through which the
tiger dropped to the floor. Then il was
that the intrepid Toby, by a well-di-
rected kick, smashed in the skull of the
tiReF-ana- iampet-ou- him until his
skin was rendered useless for decora-
tive purposes.

NEW LIGHTS IN ST. PAUL'S.
Part of Electric Plant In Magnificent
London Cathedral Installed and
Used for First Time.

A private view of the electric light
ing of st. Paurs cathedral at London.
which has been in course of installa-
ton for three years, was given to rep
resentatives of the press the other
day The work is not yet completed,
and II is estimated that it will be g
year before it is finished. Eight hun
dred of the 1880 lights are yet to be
placed in position. The main features
are completed, however. and they give
q comprehensive idea of the scheme.
The electricians have succeeded in
making the cathedral light without
garishness. The west portico is light
ed by two immense artistic bronze
standards and the nave by five smaller
ones. Beneath the dome are eight
bronze pendants, while two others are
in the transepts. The dome itself is
not finished. 1t is proposed TO place
800 lights in the positions occupied by
the old gas Jets.
The beauty Of the exhibition lay in
the chancel. Here there are six gild-
ed brass pendants, which, II is said,
were accidentally made in the shape Of
crowns. In addition to bringing out
the details of the carved oak in the
choir by means of concealed upturned
lamps, the light also brings out soft
~ the glories of the mosaics of the
vault in the most effective manner.
The choir, aisles, entrances, consistory
court and whispering gallery are not
yet completed. The lighting of the
crypt in the basement is completed.
The architects encountered great
difficulties in piercing the walls and
floors so as to avoid the tombs. Some
thing like 16 miles of cable, contain
ing 2h tons Of copper, have been used
thus far in the work. ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, who pays for the installation, has
seen the chancel and expressed his sat
isfaction with it. The cost of the work
already amounts to $4,000. Mr.. Nor
gan has agreed to pay the $4,000 nec-
essary to complete it.

The latest report on internal COM
merce, from the treasury bureau of

receipts of cattle at these markets
were considerably higher than those
of April 1900. but somewhat below
those of April. 1901. Receipts Of
calves continued to exceed the arrivals
of the two preceding years, but hogs
and sheep both fell below the figures
of 1900 and 1901. At Chicago the de-
mand for live stock for city use and

In every kObei IN the country in
the rules whicA are tackled up ON the
door Of each roon occurs this line:
"No dogs saSwed in the hotel"

clerk to a WaskinEton Star reporter,
chat this rule is enforced, and that
dogs stay sR tie ostside or in the cei-
lar. But there are exceptions. The
rule is we'll gr0Tnded in the public
mind, and it is well upon the whole
that it is, for dogs ere nuisance.
'There ore q haf dozen dogs in this
hotel to-day, bit ] doubt if any Of the
guests other t&an their owners are
aware of their presence. When a So
ciety woman or an actress comes along
with her'sWSSt. lattle pet, or, as we say,
her 'purp,' we do not see it, and do not
take any ofasial hotel notice of its
presence unless it barks or is noisy, in
which case we Admonish its owner to
keep it quiet, or we Danish it to the
cellar until the guest departs.
cit may Cause some indulgent,
adoring motbeOs pang to know that
as between the average pet dog and
the average child the hotel manager
prefers the dog. Pet dogs are house
trained and are Usually quiet. They
don't break furniture, crockery, glass
ware or mirrors, neither do they kick
holes in twe-dellars-a-yar carpet.
They are trained not TO bark at every
sound, and At a rule conduct them
selves like little canine ladies and
gentlemen. Big dogs go to the base
ment.
while in most hotels the presence
of small pet dogs is overlooked, the
clerks keep a vigilant eye out for yell
low tabby Saas and green parrots, usu-
ally the cherished property Of elderly
maiden ladies'. No matter how de-
sirable or profitable the guest may be,
she is barred if she is travelling with
