MUCH DAMAGE.
Is Reported TO Be Very High al
New. Brunswick Ice
Broken up.

With the warm weather and the
heavy rain, much ice has been loosen
ed in the Raritan river at New Bruins
wick and last night the tide was very
high, and the ice clogged the outlets
up so that many cellars in New Bruins
wick were flooded. Now that the ice
has been loosened many are watching
the new Raritan river bridge and the
Central Railroad drawbridge with in
terest. There are those who say that
although both these bridges are I'M
protected that the ice will do little if
any damage, while others say that the
damages will amount to considerable.
1t seems most probable, however, that
the ice will pass out into the bay or
melt on the way with but little fuss.

BIOGRAPHY OF A RED FOX.
Cunning and Savage Tricks Of the
Animal Described by His Nat
, u~raIist Raiser.

Our red fox was the very liveliest
young animal we ever had in the house.
There wasn't a mean hair in his dear
little body but he was SO mischievous
that space would not permit OF my emu
merating one-half the things he broke
or destroyed in one way or another,
writes Ernest Harold Baynes, in Wom-
ans Home Companion. For some days
we fed him exclusively on milk, but one
evening l held out to him a small piece
of row beef. AT first he did not realize
what / was offering him, but after sniff
fling it for a moment, he sprang forward
with a savage CRY, and seized h meat
in his teeth. l was startled at the
change which had come over him. The
gentle, woolly, blue-eyed cub which but
a moment before would have gone quiet
ly to sleep in my hand had in one instant
become a savage wild beast, snarling
6ercely, with ears laid back, and swapping
with its baby teeth at the hand which
sought to caress it. And though we
sought to divert him in every way we
could think of, it was two or three days
before he quite forgot that meat.
He soon became very playful, and he
was never quiet, except when he was
asleep. He searched the rooms for
scraps of paper, balls of twine and other
small articles, and having found some
thing to interest him he would run of
with it, shaking it as he went. He was
very fond of us all, and when he re-
turned, after an absence of an hour or
more, he showed his delight by wagging
his tail, putting out his tongue and
painting open-mouthed, as we often see
little dogs pant under similar circum-
stances.
1t soon became evident that a steady
diet of milk was becoming tiresome to
him, and | was obliged to give him meat
at least once a day. Each time he had
It he showed the savage side of his ma
ture, which was W to be seen at any
other time. Gradually l increased his
allowance of meat, until n day I gave
him more than he could eat at n meal.
The bits of beef had been placed on a
newspaper, and when he found that
there was more than he could manage
at the time, he lifted up the corners of
the paper with his mouth, and deliber-
ately covered up what remained. APP
parently he did this with the intention
of hiding the food until he needed It.;
and SUR enough, as 500 as he was hun
cry, he came back, uncovered the meat
and ate 1t. Thereafter, when he was
given more meat than he could eat on
the spot, he hid II.

Waited FOR SEVEN HOURS
Three Couples Kept 1t Up While the
Orchestra Played 1O1 Diff
ferent Tunes.

One of the most startling ncve,iisg In
the dancing line has set all Par fTlking
and there are couples that are row being
treated as If they belonged to the nobil-
ity, says a recent report from the French
capital. These couples danced for sew
en- continuous hours in a contest, and
when they were through both the dam
GERS and the orchestra were ready to
drop.
The proprietor of the Sale wagrain
offered prizes for the couples who could
dance the longest. The contest began at
IL p. m. and A couples started.
They were all composed of young men
and women, with the exception of one
couple of two men, and the male part
ners included a soldier and two negroes.
The only hard and fast condition Of the
contest was that couples should dance
without cessation and keep walking all
the time.
At the end Of the first hour four
couples had stopped dancing; at the
end Of the second hour IL more had had
sufficient, and at the end of the sixth
hour the competitors had dwinled down
to five couples. 1t was now five a. M,
and the ten valiant dancers showed evil
dent signs Of fatigue. Their faces were
pale and their eyes were encirculed by
ominous black lines.
But they could stand 1t as long as the
band. they said, and to keep up their
courage their friends in the audience
brought them from time to time oranges
brandy, coffee, and other stimulants,
which they had to take while dancing.
One couple had very hard luck, for after
dancing with spirit for six hours the
gallant cavalier "a pork butcher) in
formed his willing parner that he had
to be at work at five o'clock, and with a
regretful adieu he left the hall.
Those who remained on the floor kept

the other competitors had succumbed.
the survivors performed a last round
of the hall at six o'clock. They had been
Walking seven hour, and when they
had finished, 1000 spectators gave them a
tremendous ovation. The audience did
not know which to applaud the most, the
dancers or the orchestra, for during the
dancing the latter played an endless
chain Of 161 waltZes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. Senator
Hanna's last written words were in the
form of a pathetic letter to President
Roosevelt, in which he acknowledged
in q way quite characteristic the pres
ident's thoughtfulness in calling at his
hotel to inquire about his condition..
The letter was written by the senator
ON the afternoon of Friday, Feb. ., and
was the last business of any kind trans
acted by him. Mr.. Dover that after
noon informed the senator that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had called to inquire
about his condition.
wasn't that nice of himT" whispered
Senator Hanna. Wasn't that goodT
Later the senator again expressed his
deep appreciation Of the presidents
courtesy and a little while afterward
called for pencil and paper and wrote
the following:
"My Dear Mr.. President-You touch
ed a tender spot, old man, when you
called personally to inquire after me
this a. III. / may be worse before l can
be better, but all the same such drops
Of kindness are good for a fellow"
The next day a reply was received
from the president with a note stating
that it was to be shown to the senator
when Mrs. Hanna thought best. Sena-
tor Hanna never saw the reply, which
was as follows:
"Indeed it is your letter from your
sickbed which is touching, not my visit.
May you very soon be with us again,
old fellow, as strong in body and as
vigorous in your leadership and your
friendship as ever"
After Senator Hanna's death Presi-
Cent Roosevelt sent the letter to Mrs.
Hanna in order that copies Of 1t might
be made by the family for preservation.
The original will be returned to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who will treasure 1t
carefully in memory of his dead friend.
