HANICURING A TIGER.
Exciting Operation to Relieve Bengal
Specimen of IngrOwing Nails.


To relieve Dick, the magnificent Ben
gal tiger in the Central park menag-
erie at New York, of two ingrowing
nails on his right fore paw Bill Snyder,
the chief keeper, recently performed
one of the most difficult and hair rails
ing operations in his long experience
with captive animals, says the New
York American.
Snyder found the operation the more
difficult because Dick hates him. Why
he cannot tell. When Snyder ap-
prOaches his cage, even with food, Dick
snarls and growls at him and keeps
this up until Snyder goes out of sight.
But Snyder, as the chief keeper. had
to perform the operation upon his enc
my. He had five other keepers to help
him, and they were all tired before
they finished.
This manicuring Of Dicks nails was
required to relieve him of great pain
and lameness.
Snyder climbed to the top of the
cage with a moose Of inch rope and
then lowered the moose toward Dick.
In spite of his lame paw Dick eluded
being lassoed for fifteen minutes. At
last Snyder got the moose over Dicks
head and left forepaw and drew it
tight. He then passed the rope to his
five assistants. They dragged Dick to
the front of the cage. He fought hard
not to go and chung to every crack in
the stone floor of his cage with his
hind paws, growing and roaring
nightly.
All the lions, panthers and other ami
mails Of Dicks family were highly eX-
cited and roared and growled their an
ger.
The keepers drew Dick to the front
bars of the cage and held him so that
his sore paw protruded through the
four inch space between the stone floor
and the crOssbar. Then Snyder per
formed the operation. He used a
strong pair of steel nippers. With
Dicks whole nature overlooking with
hate and rage toward the keeper, Sny-
der closed the nippers upon the in
growing nails and pulled.
The nails came out, and from Dicks
throat came mightier roar than be-
fore. Snyder soaked the tigers paw
with antiseptic and then loosened the
moose. Dick released himself and dart
ed back to the back of his cage again.
He began licking the paw, and Snyder
says that is just what the wound
needs.

PARADISE OF THE NEGRO
RECOGNIZED AS a GOVERNMENT
PET IN WASHINGTON.
No Where Else Is There Such TOlera-
ton OF Negro Ofensiveness. Have
Gathered There in Numbers.

Gathered There in Numbers.
Washington city has the largest
negro population of any city in the
world. Next to it comes Baltimore.
In Baltimore, however, less than one
fifth of the population is colored,
while in Washington negroes constl-
tute one-third of the population.
Washington has more meanly inse-
lent negroes than any other city, north
or south. Within ten days no less
than five white women have been as
saulted by negro brutes, and only one
has been captured The treatment OF
the negro in Washington furnishes an
eobiect lesson to those who would give
him free rein.
No where else is there such tolera-
ton of negro olfensiveness as there is
in Washington.
Ever since the civil war Washing
ton has been the happy hunting ground
of the negroes, and they have never
ceased to gather there as a city Of
refuge.
In Washington the negro has his
own way as he has nowhere else, even
n Philadelphia or Boston. In the
northern cities the policemen have nc
sympathy for the negro, and they
keep him in order. But in Washing
ton he is recognized as a government
pet, and the police force deals with
him very tenderly and also allows
him many privileges. The white in.
habitants stand in awe of him, and
give him the right of way on the side
walks, and the negro driver often
seems especially happy when he Is
irving to drive over white man.
BY the census of 1900 there were nc

there than anywhere else outside OF
Guinea. They get government offices,

like working are supported by the
women of their own race, who hire
themselves as cooks and housemaids.

FOR NATURALIZATION OF
STREET RAiLWAYs.
SUIT FOR INJUNCTION IS DISMISSED
ACTS OF LEGISLATURE AND ORDi.
NANcEs OF CITY COUNCIL
CONSTITUTIONAL.

Chicago, Sept. 17-Judge Thomas
@. Wtndes, In the circuit court, has
decided In favor of the city Of Chicago
In the Injunction suit based on the
Mueller law. which provides for the
issuance of $75.OOO.o0O worth Of rail-
way certificates by the city.
The law was declared constitutional
by the court, who also held that subse-
quent ordinances regarding the pur-
chase and operation of the street rail-
ways. passed by the city, are in COM
pliance with the law. The decision
was a complete victory for the city,
the court holding against every point
advanced by the complainants In their
bill. which was dismissed for want of
equity.
The court pointed out that 1t was
the evident purpose of the Legislature
and of the Chicago city council. In the
laws and ordinances passed by those
bodies. to give the city the right to
municipalize the street railways. Re-

Of the Mueller lawithe court declared
that while there may be In some
points doubt as to the intent OF the
legislature he believed the doubt
should favor what appeared to be the
intention Of the legislature in enact.
ing the measure.
The attack upon the constitutional
ity of the Mueller law was made By
certain taxpayers, who desired to re-
strain the city authorities from execut
ing any mortgage. trust deed or street
railway certificates. the money from
which was to be used for the pur
chase OF the street railways of the
city. The court was asked to declare
void certain ordinances passed by the
city which declared that THE city
should issue the certificates in amount
not exceeding 5.0OO,O and proceed
to purchase and operate the street
railways. 1t was also asked OF the
court that It pass upon the constitu
tionality of the law itself The city
filed demurrer to thefbill OF the com
plainants. and the de cision OF Judge
Windes not only upholds the constitu
tionality OF the law bait declares that
ordinances passed by the city are
right and proper.

RAMsEY's SHORTCUT PLANS.
Survey for Keystone Air Line Com
pleted East of Pittsbure.


Joseph Ramsey, jr., ex-president of the
Wabash railroad. was at his office in New
York yesterday and had something to say
about his projected keystone Air Line rail-
road. which is to cut over 100 miles from
the distance between New York and Chi
cago and beat all the existing roads In the
matter Of grades and curves.
Dispatches from Harrisburg, Pa, where
papers Of consolidation had been filed, an
nounced that the aggregate mileage of the
three constituent roads, as set forth In the
papers Of association which q charter
was issued. amounted to only eighty five
miles, and that the roads did not connect
Mr. Ramsey said it was true that in the
original papers Incorporating the three
roads their routes are as described in the
dispatches from Harrisburg, but that as
they stand on paper at present the routes
Of the roads make continuous line, and
that their. charter rights and franchises
cover the same continuous routes the
surveys. The three roads are the Indiana,
Clearfield and Eastern, the Allentown.
Tamaqua and Ashland and the Brush
ut would have been the height of folly"
Mr.. Ramsey said, ito have covered our
routes exactly in the papers of incorpora-
ton, for that would have given our scheme
away at once. The Harrisburg dispatches
refer to the original papers and describe
the lines. as they then stood, correctly.
Tne laws OF pennsylvania, however, give
the directors Of a road the rights to extend
It at will Too much has been said about
this new road already. but l may add that
all the surveys have been made for the
stretch east from P1ttsburg."
Mr. Ramsey said that the new line would
be electric, in the sense that provision
would be made for the use of electric loco
motives, which he was confident would be
found entirely practicable by the time the
road is completed. Motor cars would not
be possible, he said. because Of the impos-
sibility of adapting that type of electric
traction to long distance freight traffic
