FOOTBALI. AND BULLFIGH

L.
The people of Mexico. according to re-
ports. believe that football is more bru-
tai than bullfighting. The Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is
trying to stop bullhghting in Mexico,
because of the increasing number of
deaths which result from it. but the
populace objects to football as a sub
stitute. Perhaps If a census of the bulls
were taken in Mexico football would
come in, but the bulls are slaughtered
without their opinion of the sport being
at all regarded. The ordinary bullhght
does not result in the. death or even
serious injury of any of the human
brutes participating. The bulls are tor
tured in a most savage manner, and
now and then a horse is killed Our
synpathies have always been with the
bull, because of the numbers against
him and the unfairness Of the contest.
There is a difference between the bru-
tality of the American crowds and the
brutality OF Spanish crowds, and it is
this: We like q contest that is hard and
well fought, but ye cannot enjoy It TN
less It is fair. they want to see the
blood flow. and it does not make much
difference how the blood IS drawn. We
condone the roughness OF football for
the sake Of the contest, while they, ap-
parently, do not care 50 much Tor the
contest as for the biood.-Atlanta jour

Ioaded for Wifches.

In witchcraft lore silver seems to
have been credited with great power
to dispense evil spirits. In an old book
OH the subject one reads of a valiant
souldier who had skill in necromacy,''
and who always used "silver bullets to
shoot away the witches" The evil
dences of such superstition are
brought directly to the modern eye
through the discovery made by a
Pennsylvania farmer.
Mr.. Vedderman is interested in
curios, and purchased recently an old
musket at a farm house sale. From
its appearance the weapon antedates
the revolution. It was in a deplorable
state of rust, and in cleaning 1t, the
new owner discovered that it was
loaded.
He carefully. withdrew the charge,
and to his surprise found instead of
bullets two silver shillings, dated 1881,
lighted wadded with leaves of a Bible
of ancient print. Beneath the coins was
a small lock of hair and a piece of
paper containing an illegible quota
ton The gunpowder was coarse and
undoubtedly of colonial manufacture.
The whole looks very much like a
charmed charge, calculated to de-
moiish some weird lady of the broom
stick.-Philadelphi Record.

Boston.-The United States ship
Vesuvius, once the only dynamite gun
boat in any navy, which in the Spanish
war frightened many Spanish soldiers
and sailors at Santiago. will so into
commission again in a few days at the
Charlestown navy yard.
She is a dynamite cruiser no longer,
her new designation being a torpedo
training ship. She will be stationed
at the torpedo station at Newport.
About 100000 has been expended
at the local yard in refitting the ship
for her new work. About all that re-
mains of the old fittings are her hull
and engines, and these have been thor
oughly overhauled and are entirely
new in many parts. The work of re-
building and refitting has been in
progress about a year.
The ship, a white elephant" Of the
navy, will at last be of some practical
service. it Is now said. She has been
tied up at the Charlestown navy yard
since her return from the campaign
in Cuba. The navy department has
been considering what could be done
with the craft to make her of some
service. and probably a hundred plans
Cor converting her were considered be-

that the law covers the ground.
a state senator who lives in the
Second congressional district got
caught in a similar manner. His hob

dealers to secure milk licenses. After
he had helped pass such a law and had
gone home he was notified by the state

he did not take out a license for per-

commission would prosecute him. He
