HE OF EQUITABLE FAME WILL
TAKE RESIDENCE IN GAY
PARIS.
Has Gone to the Country Which He
Had Loved and Admired From
Earliest Childhood.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-Among the
passengers who sailed today On the
steamer Touraine from this port were
James H. Hyde, of Equitable fame and
number Of old family servants, all
bound for France, which country Mr..
Hyde intends to make his future home.
Slowed away in the hold of the ship
are hundreds of boxes and crates, con-
tanning the magnificent collection of
art treasures, furniture, 11angings, ETC.,
which had heretofore furnished and
adorned the family residence on East
Fortieth street. Although Mr. Hyde
kept his intention of removing tc
France strictly secret, it has caused
but little surprise. Recent events,
particularly the Equitable Insurance
company muddle and following inves-
tigation had sorely wounded his self
respect and vanity and the notoriety
which he had gained by his connection
with the insurance investigation
Jared upon his delicate sensibilities
to such an extent that he no longer
felt comfortable amid the old sur
roundings Naturally ne turned to the
country which he had loved and ad-
mired from his earliest boyhood, per-
h;
try. Mr.. Hyde has severed his con-
nection with nearly all the industrial
he was interested and it is believed
by his friends that he will not return
to this country, except for a short
visit.

Man Places Roll of Bills on Table and
Woman Releases Reptiles.

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-The amazing adj
venture Of Paul Sermillet at the house
Of Eleonara Stilza, a beautiful snake
charmer, is the topic that is convuls-
ing the cafes with laughter.
Mile. Stilza appears occasionally at
the music halls and exhibits the fasci-
nation she exercises over a boa con-
strictor, few vipers and another rep
tile or two. On one of these occasions
she fascinated Paul Sermillet also, and
recently he called on the fair charmer
of snakes at her establishment in the
Boulevard Garibaldi
He happened to have roll of bank
notes in his pocket. These bulged,
and somewhat disturbed the contour
Of his well-cut coat, so he placed the
pocketbook On the table.
When he looked in the other direc-
ton, Mile. Stilza placed ner angriest
viper beside the pocketbook and hint
ed that monsieur would do her a fav-
or by leaving.
Paul refused, and four more vipers
were released from a box and began to
wriggle about the floor very near his
legs. He was asked if he wished to
see any more of the species, and
his silence being taken as a polite af-
firmative an enormous boa constructor
was allowed to exhibit mis- head from
the interior of the ottoman on which
Paul had been sitting.

his pocketbook, Or would he prefer to

He saw five feet of the serpent rise
out of the ottoman, and then ne fled
hatless, coatless, and without his notes

keeping careful watch. The police
were sympathetic and offered to beard

HOGS ARE GETTING SCARCE
PEELED TO SHIP IN PORKERS
FOR LOCAL TRADE

Hogs are scarce in the Walla Walla
valley and if the demand keeps up like
it has the past month, butchers and
wholesale meat companies will be
compelled to seek outside markets for
porkers to supply the local demand.
H. H. Augustavo, the East Main street
butcher, was compelled yesterday to
ship in a carload of hogs from the
Prescott country to fill orders he mas
on hand and another shipment from
the same section is expected tomorrow
or Friday.
The present shortage is said to be
the result of heavy shipments to Sound
wholesalers last spring and summer,
which practically cleared out the sup
ply in several sections Of the state
line and Walla Walla river countries,
where most of the supply from Walla
Walla comes from.
Hogs are bringing from $3.50 to
$500 per hundred live weight, but
from the present outlook there is liza
BILE to be sharp advance soon," Mr..
said yesterday. Instead of
exporting hogs Walla Walla dealers
are liable to be importing porkers be-
fore the winter is over"

ing up all the taxes on it.
Then, as soon as winter weather haG
frozen the marsh solid, she began dig
ging a well, six feet in diameter and
1O7 feet deep, through the strata of
solid yellow and blue clay, underlying
the marsh to a stratum of sand and
coarse gravel which her nature stud
les had led her to believe would be
found about that distance below the
surface
The top of the we'll was then sur
rounded by a porous wall that would
permit the water from the marsh to
flow through but would exclude mud
and refuse.
When spring opened the entire
marsh was drained dry, the water
that had flooded it and had been sup
piled by perennial springs on the
edges being conducted through chan
nels to the top of the well.

nEcI ARES HIMSELF AN ASPiR-
ANT FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
HONORS.
Posts $1,000 With the Examiner
O'Brien Going on the Road for
Month or So.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S.-Jack
(Twin) Sullivan has declared himself
a candidate for the worlds middle
weight championship and has chal-
lenged Jack O'Brien, conqueror of Bob
Fitzsimmons, to fight for the title.
So as to have mis- challenge in bust
ness-like shape. Sullivan has placed
$1,000 with The Examiner, as a guar
antee that he will keep faith in al
particulars called for by the articles
of agreement if the match is made.
Sullivan names 15S pounds at the
ringside as the weight he wishes tC
make for O'Brien. Formerly 154
pounds was regarded as the middle
weight limit, but as the latter-day pu-
gilists of that class are a unit, SEEM
ingly, in wanting to have the limit
stretched few pounds, the bigger
weight will doubtless be recognized as
the proper notch.
Sullivan wants straight Queensbury
rules" This means that he is averse
to clean breaks and prefers to box un
der conditions which require the prin-
cipals to protect themselves at all
times and which admit of punches be-
ing delivered at any time when the

Sullivan thinks he is better entitled

being spoken of as possible opponents

Sullivan and O'Brien fought a twenty
round draw at Dawson. Since then
Sullivan has defeated Tommy Burns
and Mike Scnreck al Los Angeles.
Sullivan Has Rep.
O'Brien's challenger has earned
reputation as a capable ringster. Like
his twin brother Mike, who turned the
tables on Jimmy Gardner, recently, he
has a clean record, and if the match
with O'Brien is made there is little
danger Of any scandal cropping up in
connection with the bout.
Sullivan says he will be ready tc
box at two weeks notice, but even if

to wait a month or two. O'Brien is
