How the Great Penguin Matches.

1t may interest you to know that
the great penguin of the southern cir
Gle standing with its head as high as
n mans waist, matches its eggs in Il pc
culiar manner. These are not laid
upon the ground and brooded on after
the manner of most birds eggs. The
female lays two large eggs. The first
she hands over to the male bird, the
other she keeps. The egg is held Oh
the upper surface of the large fiat feet,
and is pushed up under the waistcoat
of thick feathers. 1t is there held close
to the body, whose warmth gradually
vitalizes the young bird. So tenacious
are the parent birds of this grip that il
you knock one of them over it will fall
ON its back with its feet stuck stiffiy
out, still clutching the egg to its body.

QUARREL ON CAR
OVER A TRANSFER
Fight Follows As a Result-Hear-
ing of Case Tonight.

A controversy over transfer result
ed in a fistic encounter between Con-
ductor Entriken of the Tri-City Rail-
way company's Fourth avenue line and
Bert Remley, passenger. at Seven
teenth street yesterday afternoon about
$50. 1t seems that Entriken refused
to issue transfer. it being contended
that the conductor whom he relieved at
the barn should have been requested
for the transfer. In the fight which fol-
lowed Entriken and a bystander were
severely bruised. Both men were taken
in charge by the police, and will be
given hearing before Magistrate FL
lott this evening.
Mrs. Emma Peterson was picked up
by the police this morning. She is
thought to be insane, and the case was
continued 10 days in order that an in
vestigation may be made

The Valparaiso Calamity.

From authentic reports it seems that
in the recent earthquake in Valpar-
also. Chile. the loss of life and property
damaged was proportionately as great
as in our San Francisco disaster. These
two cities occupied relatively the same
position in regard to commercial i'm
portance. both being gateways to and
from the Pacific ocean. From authen-
tic reports, extending over period of
SO years. you are fully justified in be-
Iieving that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is a sure cure for all stomach. liver
and bowel complaints, such as head
ache. blOating. fiatulency, dyspepsia, in
digestion, costiveness, biliousness, sleep
lessness, nausea, female ills, poor APP
petite. cramps or malaria, fever and
ague Every sick man or woman ought
to commence taking it at once. Good
health invariably results. Our private
stamp is over neck of bottle.

TENNYSON'S MOODS.
Eccentric Manner In Which the Poet
Received Some Visitors.


Received Some Visitors.
1t was an eccentric reception that
Sir Henry Rosco was given when he
visited Lord Tennyson. The former
had been unwilling to intrude on the
poet, but consented to accompany
friend, William Summers, who had
note of Introduction from Sir Lewis
Morris. They found Tennyson ut
lunch. Sir Henry writes of it: Ten
nyson at once asked me to sit by him,
while Mr. Summers was held i'll con-
verSation at the other side of the room
by Lady sTennyson. The old man be-
gan with the words, Your name has
been before me at every meal at
which / expressed great establishment,
not thinking that he had ever heard
of me.
And thereupon he produced a small
vial containing saccharin, on the out
side of which was an advertisement
containing few lines of some appre-
ciatofy remarks respecting saccharin
which l had made in lecture at the
Royal institute. This notice l had
never seen. and on my return home 1
wrote to the proprietors requesting
them to stop issuing such notices. as
could not have my name used for add
vertising purposes, and this they did.
I'm a few minutes, without further
conversation, Tennyson rose and said:
We'll, l must bid you goodby, for
must now lie down. / am going to
smoke cigar and go to sleep Upon
which he walked out of the room, Civ
ing n distant nod to my disconselate
friend, Will Summers, who had come
on purpose to interview the poet. but
with whom he had not exchanged
single word"

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises, burns and like in
iuries before inflammation sets in, they
may be healed without maturation and
in about one-third the time required
for the old treatment. This is the
greatest discovery and triumph of
modern surgery. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm acts on this same principle. 1t
is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to heal
very quickly. 1t also allays the pain

OBJECTIONS MADE
To Admission of Certain Lines of
Testimony in the Mackin
Case.
LITTLE PROGRESS is MADE
Mrs. Sarah Beam, First Witness for
the Contestants, Still on Stand
in Circuit Court.

Nearly all of the time in the circuit
court yesterday afternoon and today
was devoted to arguments of points of
law and objections made by the pro-
ponents' counsel to the admission of
the testimony of Mrs. Sarah Beam. a
niece of Father Mackin. Mrs. Beam
on the stand yesterday testified that
she is the only living daughter of the
only surviving sister of Father Mackin.
She now resides at Hershey, Neb., but
was born at Coal Valley and later re-
sided at Cable. Orion, Warner Station,
Erie, and Clinton. She testified that
during all that time she visited Father
Mackin frequently. and he often visited
at her home. She said the priest had
frequently given her money, and that
he had told her not to let Mrs. Grace
Mackin or Mrs. Sarah Dolly know of
this. or there would be trouble. There
was an objection as To the admissible
ity of this statement, and this morning
the court ruled out the statement. but
permitted the witness 10 relate CONVEX
sations with Father Mackin. and to
tell of his treatment of herself and her
family.
Another Objection Made.
Almost the first question asked the
witness this morning had to do with
statements of Father Mackin as To
what he intended to do for Mrs. Beam
in the future This brought an objec-
ton. and the rest of the morning was
devoted TO argument on the question
as to the admission CT statements of
Father Mackin contrary to the terms
of the will. The court took the matter
under advisement

says: One OF the :most remarkable acci.
dents in the history of1the Nederland
section occurred yesterday afternoon.
AS result Starr Bassett, well known
citizen OF Nederland, sustained frac.
tured skull and may die. That he was
not killed instantly is due to the deep
snow on the range between here and
Cardinal.
Bassett was driving.to Nederland when
his team became frightened and ran
away. AT point about one mile from
Nederland the wagon overturned and
the man was precipitated:down n forty
foot embankment. The snow was about
five feet deep and, although lessening
the fall to some extent, Bassett struck
his head on the sharp rocks below. A
camper witnessed the accident and hur.
ried to the scene, but the snow had com.
pletely covered the man and it was nearly
