SUFFER BY THEIR GREED.
Wild Animals That Are So Rapa- cious as to Be Easily Lured
 to Their Death.

It may be doubted whether those of US who are able to obtain suff1cientf ood without difficulty can appreciate the sea birds and other animals which have often by the force of circumstances, to fast for long periods. Gulls will eat until they cannot fly, and when they find pilchards on board a boat will con tinue their feast until they can only lie town and gasp. A superfuity of food comes at such long intervals that when it does come the avian intellect reels at the prospect, and what seems a horn of plenty brings dire disaster. Seeing that gulls and gannets know no better, we are not surprised to hear of John Dory, stuffed to the very mouth, float ing helplessly on the surface of the water, unable to escape from flock of saa birds which have deprived it of it's eyesight and will quickly take away its life, says Longman's Magazine.
 A snake which thrusts it's head through the palings to seize an unwary frog and finds itself unable to draw back again with the frog in its throat has wit enough to disgorge the am- phibian and to deftly draw it through by the leg so as to swallow it on the safe side of the paings, but probably a snake which happened to be on the wrong side in company with a. frog would consume it on the premises and so render itself incapa ble of wriggling g through the bars.

MODERN CAR THAGE.
Where Stood the Famous Ancient
 City the Stalking Camel Now \ Draws American Flows.

M Ma
 For the first time in many centuries something modern has appeared On tho site of the ancient city of Carthage. Here, where once hourished the arts of war and peace, is vast, lonely plain. Of the streets through which the con- quering Hannibal marched in triumph nothing now remains but the shade less wheat-felds. Popular Mechanics describes the stalking camel plodding along drawing the modern American blow or cultivator.
 The soil is as rich as it was on the day when the Phoenicians founded the city, and the American and his indus tries have found their way to the. his toric spot where the Romans wrought such devastation in their conquests. Americans, in charge of native work men, may be seem directing the use of the modern farming implemen ents in harvesting or tilling the soil. These machines are a source of wonder to the natives, who for generations employed only the crudest of farm implements
 The place is on the northern coast of Africa, about ten miles from the pres ent city of Tunis. Americans find the market there for. their inventions a lucrative one. {.

MRS FLORENCE MAVERICK.
Announcement That She Will Be Re
 leased in 1904.

London, March 23.-Mrs Florence Maybrick, the American woman who was convicted at Liverpool in 1889 on the charge of poisoning her husband, James Maybrick, at Aigburth by ar senic, ands whose sentence of death was commuted to penal servitude for life, will be released in 1904. The an nouncement comes from the home office which now authorizes her Washington lawyers to use the fact of her release next year as a reason for securing the postponement of the trial of the law suits bearing on the prisoners interest in land in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia until she is able to appear to personally testify.
 Those who are in a position to know say that Home Secretary Akers Doug las has shown great courtesy in con- nection with the suits now pending in America, that the decision to release Mrs Maybrick was entirely due to efforts on this side of the Atlantic and that Ambassador Herbert has never been called upon to act in this matter

PARKHURsT ON FUNSTON.
Preacher Condemns Methods Used to
 Capture Aguinaldo.

New York, March 23.-In his sermon Sunday morning the Rev Dr Charles H. Parkhurst referred to the incidents of the capture of AguinaldO by Gen. eral Funston, and criticized the Ameri- can people for condoning what he called the deceit and treachery" prac- ticed by Funston in making the cele- brated capture that utterly discouraged all Ather belligerent Philippine leaders.
 wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neigh bor," was the text.
 "A deplorable illustration of the gen. eral apathy upon the matter" he said, twas shone by the easy popular assent given to the ignominious Teachery practiced upon the Philippine leader, Aguinaldo, by our army officer, Fun ston. treachery ordered and approved by General Macarthur. The facts in the case were these: Funston disguised himself and some of his men in the uniform worn by Filipinos; came ill upon Auguinaldo' stealthily under guise, tricked him by a forged letter pretending they were hungry, made capital out of holy rite of hospitality, then flung Aguinaldo to the ground and made him captive;4 violated the laws of warfare, the laws of hospital ity and the law of God"
 Dr Parkhurst concluded by saying:
 'sI have not lived to my age without knowing what internal and internal lies sometimes tell myself, and how desperatCly hard I sometimes work in the effoJt to fool myself.
 ssAnd would stake all I am worth on the assertion that in this particular you are just like me: Insincere, eva sive: knowing God, sinking off into the woods with the serpent: fascinated with the face of Jesus, daubing his face with an amalgam of lust and higher criticism; knowing duty. lying out of it: beholding God, crouching be hind the trees.
 ssIt would not seem so bad in us thus 10 crawl if it had not been Gods inten. tion for us that we should be only a little lower than the angels"

Question Was Submitted to the Man.
 agers To-day.
 New Haven, March 23-The ques- ton for the Yale Princeton debate to be held here May 4, was to-day sub- mitted by the managers of the Yale team to the Princeton men. It is as follows:
 Resolved, That the United States senate should adopt the following rule: The senate may, at any time when a bill, treaty or other measure is under consideration, by vote of two-thirds of the senators present and acting, taken without debate, adopt an order fixing the time when debate upon such bill, treaty or measure shall cease, and when a vote upon the same, and all amendments pending or that may then be offered, shall be taken without fur ther debate; and in the order fixing the time for taking such vote, it may also limit the time which a senator may occupy in debate between the opera tion of such order and the final vote upon such bill, treaty or measure.''
 This is similar to the resolution of fered in the senate by Senator Platt of Connecticut on March 12. It is ex- pected that on April Princeton will send word to Yale of her choice of sides.

SHERIFFS AND STRIKERS FIGHT
HARRINGTON AND HOLYOKE.
No Comparison Between Waterbury and HolyoEe Financially.

Manager George Harrington of the Holyoke baseball team has returned from Holyoke where he spent the lat ter part of last week in making prelim- mary arrangements for the opening of actual expenses the team in Holyoke will cost him $500 less than it did in this city last year. Here he had to- pay S7.5O game for the grounds, or over $40O for 56 games Tn Holyoke it will cost him only $5 a game, or about $275 for 56 games. Besides he will have entire charge of all the priv 1leges on the grounds. Tn this city he had no privileges on the grounds One person has. already offered him $1OO for the privilege of selling refresh ments on the grounds. The railway company will carry the players to and from the field at all times free of charge. The players had to pay here. Furthermore the railway company has given him a free pass on the car lines
 Manager Harrington can rent the grounds for other events on days when no league games are scheduled there
 "Why, there is. no comparison between Waterbury and Holyoke from finan- cial standpoint. The latter is away ! in the lead. There is great enthusi- asm for the game among the people in the Massachusetts, city. II have already received a number of applications for season tickets which will cost about $20 each. Fifteen cents will be charged for admission to the grand | stand. The people want team which will beat Springfield, and they will be satisfied. There ought to be lots of money in baseball in Holyoke this sea son."

WOULDN'T BE AN ANARCHIST
His Neighbops Have Declared
 Boycott Against Him.
He Cannot Buy Milk or Groceries in the Town Where He Lives-The Man Has Sworn Out Complaints Against His Neighbors.

Man Has oWOTn -OuL COupldluIS
 Against His Neighbors.
 Paterson, N. J., March 23.-Because he would not become an anarchist, Ze- cundo Casanova says he is under boycott and cannot get groceries or milk from the only dealers in those necessaries in Ashley Heights, small settlement of Italians on the outskirts of this city. Casanova has sworn out complaints against twenty-five of his neighbors, charging them with con- spiracy.
 Ashley Heights is settled exclusively by Italians. and Casanova says they are all anarchists. They repeatedly tried to get him to join their group, but he refused, and then long course of persecution started. Casanova own ed his house at Ashley Heights and could not move away, so he suffered the persecution for long time. There is only one grocer in the little colony, and one milkman, neither of them Of whom is an Italian. These dealers were presented with a paper signed by 25 residents threatening that if they continued to serve Casanova the sign CTS would withdraw their trade.
 The grocer and milkman explained their situation to Casanova and show ed him the paper. This was the evi- dence he wanted, and he at once made the charge of conspiracy.

CAsTRo,s RESIGNATION.

Berlin, March 23.-It is believed here that the resignation of President Cas- tro of Venezuela, Saturday, was de- signed to secure an endorsement of his policy in the form of a request from the Venezuelan congress that he retain office. In any case the German for eign office expects General Castro's successor will carry out the terms of the protocol, and it is not thought that any fresh complications are likely to grow out of the present turn of poli- tics at Caracas.

MILLIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
"JACK THE RIPPER"
The Original Jack Convicted of Mur-
 der in London.

New York, March 23.-A London dis patch was printed here to-day alleg- ing that George Chapman, who was convicted of the murder of several Wo- men in London, was the original "Jack the Ripper" It was further stated that Chapman had opened a barber shop in Jersey City some years ago and that soon after his arrival rope tition of the "Jack the Ripper" mur- ders occurred in Jersey City.
