not see the red light until at the
depot. He was told that there was a

LOON STARVES TO DEATH

Washington.-That animals. as well as
human beings sometimes die of a broken
heart is believed by many. and never has
this theory been better illustrated than
in the death of the big Arabian camel,
or dromedary, at the National Geological
park. In the death of this animal the
collection loses its last representative
OF a valuable species, the daughter of the
dromedary having died about four months
ago.
Ever since her offspring passed away
the big camel has been sick. She would
lie down and pay no attention to any ono.
When food was given TO her 1t would
often be an hour or more before she
made any attempt to eat. Her big, CLASSY
eyes stared pteously off into space, and
the comment of the keepers was that
she wouldn't last long. She was exam
ined several times but no special ailment
could be discovered
Treatment of No Avail
A few weeks ago the animal became Sc
riously ill., She was given medical atten-
ton, but failed to respond to the treat
ment. Gradually her condition became
worse, and yesterday she died.
DIR. Buckley of the bureau of animal
industry of the Department of Agrieul-
ture performed an autopsy. Death from
old age and cancer of the liver was the
official verdict but the knowing ones say
1t was a broken heart, and that she had
pinned away since her offspring died.
The animal had an interesting history,
and, besides being of rare species, mad
a royal pedigree. She was little over

TRIUMPH OF THE HooPskIRT.
New York Woman's Demonstration o,
Its Practical Usefulness.

From the New York Sun.
If was the 1890 gown in its fullest eX-
preston. The wearer was said to be a
debutante of the season. who has inherit
ed the beauty, grace and daring of her
great-grandmother, a belle ana beauty
of old New York.
She was a picture. Women stared at
her in half admiration, and despite the
protest that had gone up from masculine
threats whenever the return of the hoop
skirt had been limited at there was no
sign of disapproval in the masculine
glances that followed the maid of the last
century. ANY woman with the step of a
Diana, the coloring of a Hebe and the
grace of a Vivien may wear what she
will.
Was the gown graceful? 1t was more.
1t was a discovery. a shield and a de-
fence space cleared by magic for the
stately young woman as she swept across
Twenty-third street and came to the ele-
waited stairs.
A man rushed up behind her and at
tempted the usual feat of springing past
her. 1t could not be done there was no
space. The skirt filled the breadth of the
stairway.
The young woman held the fort and
took her own time in mounting the stairs.
The man lodged from Slde 10 SIDE, prepar-
ed for a rush and danced with impatience
and annoyance.
The hindered crowd below jostled, the
men grumbled, but the women took in the
situation with glee Every one of them
had been thrust aside, crowded against
the rail and walked over. Now came re-
tribution.
When the train came there was the
usual rush for the gates. but barricaded
by the invincible hoop the 1880 damsel
held the crowd at bay.
One burly and new American citizen.
with the delicacy and consideration for
self Characteristic of his nationality made
a determined rush for first entrance and
the best seat but meeting with firm re-
s.stance and fearing a hopeless entangle-
ment with the mysterious structure. he
fell back with look of stolid bewider-
ment. No one could pass the gate. Could
she?
That was the question that held the
crowd. the guard and the elevated train
for one breathless second Then--with a
graceful mysterious. almost imperceptible
touch the all-powerful hoop was lightly
swayed. slightly tilted and the stream of
travel and the train moved on. And every
woman vowed to adopt the hoop at once.
