Cow 1nvades Police Station.

The proyerbial bull that invaded the
china shop could not have created more
excitement than a runaway COW that
ran into a Philadelphia police station
the other night and caused a panic
among a dozen policemen who tried to
drive her out The animal became sep
arated from a herd and for two hours
Il galloped through the streets, spread
ing terror among pedestrians. Fleet
footed policemen gave chase and tore
ador-like tried TO take the angry bovine
by the horns Four bluecoats who had
the temerity to wrestle with the COW
we're tossed aside with contemptuous
ease. The policemen Of the station
heard the mad COW was coming their
way. They ran out to head 1t of. The
COW halted at the line of bluecoats,
turned its head and leaped through the
swinging doors of the station house
After a lively scramble inside the COW
got wedged fast In hallway. where the
drover got a rope around its neck and
led II away.

ODD NOTES FROM ABROAD.

The Church of St Nicaise. in the city
of Rheims. is surrounded with pillars.
When a certain bell in the tower is rung
the top of one pillar sways to the extent
of seven inches on each side, although
the base is immovable. and the stones
are so firmly cemented as to seem like
a solid piece of masonry. Notwithstand-
ing that each OF the four bells is about
the same distance from the trembling
pillar. none of the others has the slight
est effect on IT,
A curious specimen of the famous
Traitors Stone of Rome is still preserved
in England. 1t is large. round piece Of
sandstone, much of the appearance of a
milestone, with a few apertures which
make 1t bear a faint resemblance to the
human face. At one period in Roman
history II was the custom to have all
persons suspected of traitorous conduct
place their hands in the mouthlike open
ing. IL the stone bit their fingers the
prisoners were considered guilty.
In the picturesque village of Bainburg
the quaint old custom is kept up of blow
ing a horn every winters night at nine
o'clock. II is blown from the village
green and is meant to guide travellers to
the town who may have wandered on the
surrounding fells. The fine horn now
in use was recently presented to the
village and at one time adorned the head
of an African bull. The ancient horn in
previous use is good deal worse for
wear and is kept as an interesting relic.
Among the little known but keenly
contested honors is that of being the
champion bootblack of London. Since
the title was created two years ago It has
been held by W. Couts but recently at
the annual competition at the headquar-

won by c. Smith. who for year will have
the right to wear a gold medal and bar.

Louisville CKy) Special.


A strange mania for self-destruc-
ton possesses Arthur Garfield, an
eight-year-old Kentucky boy. Three
times he has stolen from his home N
Mayfield, KY, and endeavored to kill
himself-an improvised rope being
twice employed and a leap into the
river resorted to in the third in
stance-and yet he lives to relate
the details. And, indeed, the youngster
has no objection to telling just how
at certain times an uncomfortable
wish to end his life takes pos
session of him and how at such times
the earth seems so cloudy and distaste-
full to him that he runs in a frenzy to
kill himself
That he has failed on all three occa-
sions is due partly to his youth and con-
sequent inability to plan so as to in
sure success and partly to the watchful-
ness of his family. For three months
the members Of his family watched in
turns to prevent his accomplishing his
purpose and, their efforts failing, they
have now employed a eompanion-a ne
gro man-who remains with the boy
at all times and forcibly controls him
when he loses his mental equilibrium.

to be, are quite different. When him.

LAST NIGHT.

Last night when I'd smOOthed your wee
pillow down
And had been long in bed.
With your limbs In childish abandon
tossed.
And the culrs OF your touseled head
Spread far and tumbled like shimmering
gold
Away from your brow so white.
I stopped 20 kiss you you didn't know.
And I whispered again: ''GOod-nightF'
Then I went and sat by the easement wide.
Alone in a darkened room.
And gazed on the night while planned for
you.
And breathed in the rare perfume
That seems to breathe when the night
awakes
And touches each bloom with dew;
Twas a wonderful. wonderful. wonderful
night.
And 1 watched it and planned for you.
And I knew through all of the things i
planned
In the perfumed night and still.
That only such things will come to you
As happen to be Gods will;
But l who love You so much may help.
And you-you may help some. too
And perhaps with all OF us. dear. at work.
The world may be bright for you

A GORGEOUS PAGEANT.
The Triennial ConcIave Of Knights
Templar Begins with a Parade Of
10000 Men.

10000 Men.
San Francisco, Sept. 7.-Ten thou
sand Knights Templar marched for
miles through the gaily decorated city
streets yesterday, inspired by the
music of 40 bands and the cheers Of
thousands of spectators who lined
every foot of the way.
In the first division was q carriage
carrying Most Eminent Sir Henry
Bates Stoddard, grand master Of the
grand encampment of Knights Temp
lar of the United States, and the Earl
of Euston, grand master of the great
priory of England and Wales. The
latter was the center towards which
all eyes were focused, the throngs be-
ing eager to catch a glimpse Of the
nobleman who represented King Ed
ward.
In this division also was California
commandery No. /, each member of
whom was mounted on a black
charger. The appearance of the richly
garbed knights and prancing steeds
was the signal for cheers all along the
line.
There were in the procession two
other mounted Communicates, the De
Witt Clinton, of Virginia City, New
and the Corinthian Chasseurs, of Phil
adelphia, making 1000 mounted men
in all.
The parade was one of the finest
ever seen in San Francisco. 1t occu-
pied nearly three hours in passing q
given point. The advance along the
line of march of the more largely rep
resented eastern communicates was
signalized by continuous cheers and
when the band heading the Kentucky
contingent struck up Dixie" the en-.
thusiasm of the spectators was un
bounded. New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois made especially fine show
| ings.

A quarter of an hour later Kate was
in her mothers arms and Capt. Suggs

Mrs. Bowers lead him to the rail, and
they talked earnestly for a half hour
then Capt Suggs departed and the BuZby
resumed her voyage.
The two schoners reached Norfolk the
same day, and Hornby, who was not al

stages of despair when Capt Suggs
