THE BRAVE WooDcHUcK.
Stood His Ground Against q Dog
and Put the Intruder
to Flight.

1t is unusual to see a woodchuck drive
dog; it is usually reversed, and the
chuck takes to his hole. to be dug out b.
the dog, says the Bangor Me News.
A Phillips canine followed his mis-
tress, who was on a drive through the
back towns Of Phillips the other day.
and after driving of all the hens from
the farms along the road, he came upon
a woodchuck near the road. He barked
with JOY at the sight of that strange ami
NAL, and with one leap be landed il.
front Of the woodchuck.
Then he stopped-there was some
thing in the wOodchuck s eye that indi-
Gated that there might be serious
trouble. The dog discovered il. and
backed away TO safety, and, strange to
state, the woodchuck followed him; fol-
lowed him until the poetry was all out
Of the experience and the fun was all
gone. Finally, the dog acknowledged
his defeat by dropping his tail and start
ing for Phillips at a very fast pace.

Quaint Survivals Of Other Days That

Travellers like to visit the Oddly

Alley, Edgar Street and Petticoat Lane
in the midst OF the financial district OF
New York. writes Charles Hemstreet,
in Four-Track News.
Standing at 81 Broadway one looks
down steep and narrow street that was
the joy of the small boys of a century
and a half ago. for then this spot was
known as Flat and Barrick Hill. and
down the slope in winter time the lads
and lassies coasted. speeding on into
Garden street, as the rude road was
known after il crossed Broad street.
Now. under the more significant name OF
Exchange place. this street wriggles
between great sky-scrapers, and from
Broadway one can see the edge OF the
largest Office building in the world. the
Broad exchange. on the southeast corner

CONGRESSIONAL.

The special session of the senate was
opened on the 9Th by Vice President
Fairbanks. A message from the pres
ident on the San Domingo treaty was
discussed and referred to the commit
tee on foreign affairs.
All the members of the present cabi-
net have been again named except
Postmaster General Wynne. Mr..
George B. Cortelyou was nominated for
that Office. The nominations were con-
tirmed by the senate.
The senate confirmed the nomina-
tons of former Senator Cockrell, of
Missouri, to be interstate commerce
commissioner and of former. Senator
Quarles, Of Wisconsin, to be United
States judge for the eastern district of
Wisconsin.
Without determining any question of
policy in regard to the Santo Domingo
treaty, the senate decided on the 7th
that the treaty should be reported as
soon as possible from the committee on
foreign relations, and the entire Ques-
ton fought out in executive session.
President Roosevelt is said to plan
radical changes in the Panama canal
commission, including the retirement
of Admiral Walker and the reduction of
the membership to three.
The total appropriations for the short

and hundreds of heads of stock lost.
Chris Shea lost IS head of cattle and

MRS. STANFORD MURDERED
Coroner's Jury Declares Her Death
Due to Poison Placed in Bottle
by Unknown Parties.

Honolulu, March 1.-THE coroner's
jury Thursday night returned a verdict
that Mrs. Jane L. Stanford died an I'M
natural death. The verdict says that
death was due to strychnine poisoning,
the poison having been introduced into
a bottle of bicarbonate of soda with
felonious intent by some person or per-
sons to the jury unknown.
The end of the inquest with posi-
tive verdict of murder leaves the po-
lice of Honolulu as much without a
clew as when Mrs. Stanford died. The
jury returned their verdict after about
two minutes deliberation.
The detectives who are expected to
arrive from San Francisco on the steam
er Alameda Saturday may be able to
take up the investigation on new lines.
The local police admit they are at sea.
