In the British museum there is rare butterfly, which was obtained in a most unusual way. Probably no other butterfly in any collection in the world was taken in the same manner. On 8 steamship bound to Sydney, New South Wales, several men were amusing themselves by shooting at mark with a revolver. Just as one man was about to shoot he noticed a remarkably large butterfly fluttering toward the ship. When it lowered above the deck he fired and actually managed to hit it.

A western lawyer tells a story of a trial he saw in Texas court. A hard looking tough was the defendant.
 His counsel, in a. voice apparently husky with emotion, addressed the jury something in this wise: "Gentlemen, my client is poor man. He was driven by hunger and want to take a small sum of money. All that he wanted was sufficient funds wherewith to buy bread, for it is in evidence that he did not take the pocketbook containing $500 that was in the same bureau drawer.' At this point the counsel for the defense was interrupted by the convulsive sobs of his client. Here, man!' exclaimed the judge, why are you crying so?'' Because, your honor, J
 replied the defendant-"because I did mt see der pocketbook in de drawer!' '

MT. ClAveland's latest offense to the ladies who are interested in female suffrage is contained in an article written by him for the Ladies' Home Journal in which he says: We all know how much further women go than men in their social rivalries and jealousies. Woman suffrage would give to the wives and daughters of the poor new opportunity to grarify their envy and mistrust of the rich. Meantime these new voters would be- come either the purchased or cajoled victims of plausible political manipu- laters or the intimidated and helpless voting vassals of imperious employ ers.''

The Mexican Herald takes occasion to deny the widely copied tale con- corning the reputed willingness ? of Senor Pedro Alvarado, the wealthy mine-owner of Parral, to pay the na- tional debt of Mexico. He is an "es- tinable citizen of Parral. Chihuahua, and very lucky miner, though not possessing the fabulous wealth with which he is credited. He has never of fered to pay the national debt. Prob ably he does not know with accuracy what that debt amounts to, and would not if he could and could not if he would pay it off,"

An interesting series of experiments to test the military value of airships is about to be made by the French ar tillery.s It may be promised that the fact of their value may be taken as established up to certain point to the satisfaction of the French military authorities, since a permanent "har- bor' for airships has been established in the artillery quarter of the garrison of Foul. This ''harbor'' will be used as a continual center for studying the question as to what services can be obtained from airships to aid the de- ae14se 1saa fortified place under, siege.

St. Helena, the lonely rock on which Napoleon fingered out his last years, was once a regular calling place for ships from England to the Cape of Good Hope, India, Australia and the East. The little island lived and four ished on the money spent by these callers. But the construction of the Suez Canal diverted this trade, and aimed a fatal blow ac St. Helena's prosperity. A reminder of the good old times and the present bad ones IS the announcement in the latest is- sue of the St. Helena Guardian that the local sailors home is to be sold,

CHICKENS STOLEN.
Three Negroes Were Arrested in Con.
 nection With Theft.

Chickens cannot roost too high for the Birmingham police. They climbed to the top of house on Second avenue Satur- day night and captured a whole coop of yellow legs. A woman named Johnson and two other negroes have been arrested in connection with the chicken raid The coop contained between twenty and thirty fine bullets, frying size, and awaits an owner at police headquarters. In addi- tion to the live poultry the policemen making the haul, LaRue and Baker, con- flscated more than dozen dressed chickens which they have in the city's official refrigerator. These also await Identification.
 In the police court this morning Alice Allen and Wesley Billups, two negroes, will be asked to tell what they know about the chickens. The woman was ar- rested with the chickens in a negro res taurant on Second avenue. between Four teenth and Fifteenth streets. The Allen woman said she was simply employed in the place and didn't know whets the chickens came from. At l o'clock ester day Billups was caught in the place and taken into custody. He is said to be one of the men in the restaurant who ran when the police entered Saturday night. Charges of concealing stolen property were lodged against both.

NEGRO WAS SHOT IN
 STABLE OF 4 GREEK
NICK BROOKS FOUND NEGROES IN HIS STABLE AND SHOT ONE OF THEM-HoEsE HAD BEEN TAKEN.

Negroes were as thick as blackbirds In Nick Brooks stable at Fourth alley and Seventeenth street last night, and when the smoke of his revolver had for the hospital and another was in the hands of the police The injured negro, who was shot through the abdomen, and the man arrested. Will Adkins, declare they were not in the stable and are vic- tims of circumstances. Brooks was re- leased on his own recognizance pending an investigation. The wounded negro is in serious condition.
 The intent of the negroes Is yelled in mystery. Recovery of the wounded negro, whose name was not learned before he was placed on the operating table at St. Vincents hospital, or confession on the part of the negro in jail, may reveal the real motive. In the meantime, the police say it looks like clear attempt at robbery, which is the charge against Ad- kins. coat was also found in the stable It is evidently the property of one of the negroes, and the police will today try to find the owner.
 Nick Brooks is Greek who has been engaged in the dray business in Birming- ham for many years. His stable, where he keeps his horse when not engaged in hauling, Is at the corner of Fourth alley and Seventeenth street. Shortly before Il o'clock last night he went to the stable to feed the animal. When he reached the door ha hat nlank had been removed Suspecting something wrong, Brooks crossed the street and borrowed a revolver from a fellow countryman. Returning to the stable he was surprised to find that the door was open. His en- trance caused a panic. As he struck match there was a rushing Of rect In all directions, and the next moment he saw half dozen negroes forcing their way out through rear door. He fired three shots, which attracted a number of policemen, and a large crowd of specta- tors.
 After making an inspection and finding nothing but an cid coat that might prove to be a clue, the officers found a negro at a drug store at Third avenue and Eighteenth street. He was asking for medical attention and examination showed that he was badly shot through the ab- domen little later Policemen Murphy and Nix arrested negro they suspected of being one of the sextette. Citizens at tempted to stop third negro, but he drew a knife and was permitted to es- le.
 Brooks remained at the stable for the purpose of locating his horse. It was found in the park a short distance away and was evidently placed there by the ne- groes, as it was In the stable the last time the Greek saw it.

EX-GOV. HOGG LIES
 CRITICALLY ILL
IS SUFFERING FROM DROPSY AND REFUSES TO BE TAPPED, AL THOUGH PHYSICIANS SAY IT Io NECESSARY.

Fort Worth. Tex, october 15.-Ex-Gov- ernor James s. Hogg is lying ill at a hotel here of dropsy. He was en route to a health resort when he had to stop.
 The big ex-governor, who weighs over 300 pounds, has dropsy and his physicians say unless he is tapped at once he can not survive. He declines to be tapped saying if his time has come he will go, but he is afraid of the needle perforating an intestine. So far his family and friends have failed to move him. They are still trying in this endeavor.
 The ex-governor created quite a furore some years ago on a European trip be- cause he refused to attend an audience of King Edward wherein knickerbockers were required at a court function, saying he was too much an American to toady to English customs"
