The Ferocious Goldfish.

A neighbOr of ours, says II. B. BlaX,
ter, of New Brighton, Pa, has a num-
Der of small artificial ponds in which
he grows water-lilies. He has gold
fish in these ponds, uartly for looks,
partly to keep the water clear of an
imal matter. One pond in particular
in inhabited by a single goldfish, o
large black one about three years old
This lonely hermit has taken a great
dislike to the small frogs which
swarm In all the pools at this time OF
year, and will not permit a single
frog to come into his pond. The mo
ment a frog jumps in the fish attacks
it, flashing the water with his tail
butting the frog with his head until
he drives it out. The frogs swim a.
bout in dazed way and finally climb
out. Almost any evening a number
of disconsolate little frogs can be seen
sitting in a row on the brick edge of
the pond, desiring but not daring to
jump In.
The fish lately has become such an
autocrat that he will not permit a
frog even to hang a foot in the water,
working himself into such a frenzy
flashing about and leaping out of the
water that the frogs withdraw In
fright and bewilderment. The Incl
dent is both amusing and pathetic,
depending on whether viewed from
the point of observation of a SDec
tator or frog.-Outing.

GOLD POCKET KNIVES.
Some Of Them Set With Jewels
Thev Cost From $40 to $40.


For most people q pocket KNIFE
with a bone or ivory handle ,sufhces'
but there are people who like some
thing different and for them are maze
gold pocket knives, which Can %
found in a great variety of styles.
Many of these gold pocket knives
are made with handles very thin ana
perfectly flat so that they can De
handily carried In the waistcoat pocK'
ct, and many of them have at one
end of the handle ring by whlcn
they can be carried as a charm on the
watchchain. Still others arc OF regu'
lation size and style.
The blade and other equipment for
use in these knives-all made OF
course, of the finest steel-might IN.
clude q pair of scissors or a cigar
cutter. 1t would commonly include a
nail cleaner or a nail file, or both.
A novelty among gold pocket
knives is one that can be opened
without touching the blades. the
blade rivets are made to project a
little, on one side, and through them
is run little gold ring, which, when
not in use, folds fiat against the
knife handle. Raised, the little ring
serves as q handle with which the
blade to which it is attached can be
thrown open.
Some Of the very thin gold pocket
knives are made with handles not
only perfectly fiat but perfectly plain,
and then some of these fiat knives
may be found with handles engraved.
Among the gold handled knives with
thicker, heavier handles may be found
knives with their handles beautifully
carved. The lightest of the gold
handled knives weighs less than a
bone handled knife Of corresponding
size; the heaviest of them weighs
more.
Some gold handled knives are
jewelled. One of the thin rounded
type, knife, say, with Roman
finish, might have set in one side a
single diamond. Another knife has
set all over both its sides tiny sap.
phires and diamonds.
Here is knife of another style In
whose handle are set stones of larger
size, these two sapphires and two dia-
monds. Here are knives with little
sapphires and rubies set in upon the
ends Of the knife's rivets, forming
jewelled rivet heads. Here are found
knives variously jewelled.
knives would be found in about $50
different styles, and they range in
price from about $40 to $110.
First and last such knives are sold
in considerable numbers. The great.
est demand for them comes at Christ
mas time, when they are bought for
gifts, and they are bought also for
birthday gifts, and for gifts on tiftieth
or golden anniversaries. There is a
sale for them at other times as well,
to mon who like that kind of knife,

Warsaw, Sept. 12-Artillery was
used in Siedlce yesterday morning.
Buildings on Plenka, Warsaw and Ale
ina streets have been destroyed.
According to reports received here,
200 Jews were killed and 5000 were
wounded during the outbreak.
A telegram received here from
Siedlce yesterday morning says the
rioting and shooting there continue.
The revolutionists are firing at the SOL

ply with volleys.
The Libau infantry regiment took
the principal part in the massacre.
Some passengers on through train
were hit by stray shots on Sunday.
A bomb was thrown In the market
square of Rudgusowska, province of
Warsaw, yesterday afternoon, killing
one policeman and wounding another.
Later another bomb was thrown at
the entrance of the Zirardow Spinning
works in this city, severely wounding
a policeman and a janitor. The troops
thereupon fired in all directions and
killed or wounded forty persons.
Big Buildings In Flames.
Siedlce, Sept. 12-Six buildings in
the big bazaar of the city are now In
flames, adding another terror to the
killing and plundering which has been
going on here for the last thirty-six
hours.
Frequent shots and occasionally
volley firing is still heard in different
parts of the town, but because of the
general panic, 1t is difficult to learn
accurately just what is transpiring.
City May Be Bombarded.
A delegation of Russians asked the
governor to order the troops to cease
firing, but the governor replied that
the citizens must deliver up their
leaders and the revolutionists or 9TH
erwise the city would be bombarded.
The authorities assert that fifteen ter
rorists have arrived here from War
saw and that they must be arrested
before any of the inhabitants are per-
mitted to leave the city.

SINGING FREES PRISONER.
Woman's Voice Is So "Bad" That She
Is Ousted From Jail.

Oswego, Kan, Sept. 12.-The sing
ing of Mary Weathers was too bad
even for the county Jail, and Mary's
term of Imprisonment has been cut
short on the condition that she and
her alleged voice leave the county.
Mary is lady Of color, who has
spent the greater part of the last two
years in the local bastile. This did
not keep down her spirits, however,
for Mary would sing anywhere and all
the time.
Mary's voice had the capacity Of a
steamboat whistle, and her musical
education had been neglected. The
combination wore on the nerves of the
people on the outside, and they de-
scended upon the county commission
ers, demanding Marys exile.
