Horse Attacks a Jockey.

New York, June Awhile Jockey

Chesney in the Chicago derby, was
rubbing down his valuable trottiug
horse, The Ravena, at Sheepshesd
Bay to-day, the animal attacked him
with hoofs and teeth, and so severely
injured him that his life is despaired
Of. Had it not been for Hiram
Pierce, who was In the stable and
beat the crazy brute with an iron
bar, Bullman would have been killed
outright. 1t was found that a big
piece had been bitten out OF the boys
left side and that the teeth OF the
horse had lacerated his chest and left
shoulder. One OF his ribs is broken
and it is feared that he has sustained
internal injuries.

The Exclusiveness of Caste.

An English officer, who some years
ago was wounded in a battle in India
and left lying all night among the
native dead and wounded, tells this
story; "Next morning we spied q
man and an old woman, who came
to US with basket and a pot OF wa
ter, and to every wounded man she
gave piece Of ioaree bread from the
basket and q drink from her water
pot. To US she gave the same and l
thanked heaven and her. But the
Soobahdar was high caste Raipoot
and as this woman was a Chumar,
or OF the lowest caste, he would re.
ceive neither water nor bread from
her. l tried to persuade him to take
it that he might live; but he said
that, in our state, with but a few
hours more to linger, what was a lit
tie more or less suffering to us-why
should he give up his fate for such
an object? No, he preferred to die
unpolluted."

The Newport News Shipbuilding
Company, Of Newport News, Va,
were the lowest bidders for one yes

1t Is supposed that the unsettled

that only one company bid on more

Killed His Pupil.

Louisville, KY, June 5.-Albert
Burress, a farmer, 26 years old, liv
ing on the Preston street road, this
evening killed Clay Richardson, a
neighbor, because Richardson was
not an apt pupil in learning to ride a
bicycle. Burress struck Richardson
with his fist, hitting him In the TEN,
pie. Richardson rolled into ditch,
and Burress jumped in after him.
There he struck the PROSTATE man
Ave or six times more with his fist,
and in about three minutes Richard
son was dead.
Soon thereafter the rain began to
pour down harder than it has for
months. Leaving the victim lyingin
the ditch, Burress started to run to-
ward the city in the rain. He ran
the five miles and gave himself up at
the Fifth district police station and
was charged with murder.
He told the officers that he had
been teaching Richardson to ride the
wheel during the afternoon, but that
Richardson was 80 clumsy and learn
ed so little that he became angry,
and accused Richardson Of trying to
make q fool OF him.
Both men had been drinking.

WOMAN BANDIT CAPTAIN.


Girl With Genius Fer Stealing.
A curious example of the manner
in which careful business methods are
sometimes utilized by criminals, has
just come to light In Paris. The
police OF that city have succeeded In
tracking to their lair in a beautifully
furnished house a band OF q dozen
burglars, who are believed to have
committed a number OF successful
robberies.
Atthe head of this gang Is a young
and very pretty woman, whose
charms have won her quite apoetical
sobriquet and who is extremely clever
and Woodworking as well. The taste

dwelt was the rendezvous, and she

still was the method with which
future operations had been projected.
One portion of the big book was,

about number Of intended victims,
whose age and means, with other
particulars, had been ascertained and
carefully noted down. Here is a
characteristic entry: "Old woman

Judge Franklin Ferris, of st. Louis
took occasion recently to read a ia
therly lecture to couple that applied
to his court for q divorce. The hus.
band was confirmed lodge-goer. He
belonged to a lodge for about every
night In the week. His prediction
was for those lodges in which ladies
are members. The plea made by the
applicants for the divorce, agreed to
by both, was ''incompatibility" Sum-
ming up the evidence, the Judge de-
MED the decree and among other
things said: 1.-THE husband is a strong,
healthy man, Of social nature, of
good appearance and evidently quite
popular with the ladies'" The outlines
suggest picture easily filled in: Hus-
band, who is disposed to be a male
fiirt, at the lodge--wife at home worn
out with the days work Or by fretful
children-husband particular as to per-
sonal appearance-wife negligent or
slatternly - husband seeking good
cheer and lively companionship-wife
divorce application. The judge sized
up the situation as a typical one. He
gave both parties good advice. He
told the husband he must quit flirting
with other women and stay at home
evenings with his family. He told the
wife it was her duty to avoid exhaust
ing herself in labor, that she ought to
smooth up" keep herself neat looking
and try to make home as pleasant as
possible. o sensible judge! It would
have been easy for this magistrate to
unite the nuptial knot, relieve the hus-
band Of martial responsibilities and let
the wife and children drift as best
they might. Most judges with a plain
case like this would have granted the
decree. This judge saw a chance to
save the family. He told the husband
he would give him q chance to be a
manly, self-sacrificing husband and
father. He showed the wife how she
might improve. But will the husband
follow the good advice? II he Ia a
real man-yes. If he Is not made of
the right stuff he will fret and fume
In the matrimonial harness until q crl-
sis Of some sort is again precipitated.
And the wife? II she Is real woman
she will meet the efforts of the hus-
band to restore the harmony of the
home more than half way. If she Ia
weak she will speedily discourage his
efforts. The judge was right in think

REALLY FINE PANAMAs.
Hats that Can Be Entirely Hidden In

Hats that Can Be Entirely Hidden in
the Closed Hand.
The fashion for Panama hats Of the
last two or three years has made peo-
pie commonly acquainted with the fact
that the hats are not made in Pana-
ma, that the term Panama hat is onlv
trade name, and that the best of
these hats come from Jipijapa, In
Ecuador, says the New York Sun.
But there are other interesting things
not generally known about Panama
hats.
mus senior Franco, who was q can
dtdate for president at the last cleo
ton in Ecuador, had presented to him
not long ago by his friends a hat said
to be the finest Of its kind in the
world. 1t is to be ON exhibition at the
st. Louis Worlds Fair with other
products Of Ecuador.

When the hand is opened the hat will
spring back into perfect shape inst
as If it had never been touched save
IN the most careful manner,
In Its making particular care was
used because OF the great desire Of
Senior Frances friends to give him q
hat that had no equal. 1t Is very rare
that hat such as Senior Frances Ia
seen in the United States, and when
one is brought here it is not in a rag-
ular shipment meant to be sold hit

has just visited Ecuador or who hos
received 1t as a gift from a native ~
