Then the battle Of the beasts was
renewed. They came together q sec
ond time and locked horns. Then
each played for an opening to gore his
opponent Unable to land on a vital
spot, the bull again crashed into the
head Of the buffalo, and staggered
him. There followed a fast and furi-
GUS skirmish, the buffalo having the
advantage, but unable to make the
supreme lunge.
To the disgust Of the cheering thou
sands the bull backed off after this
round and ran away like whipped
cur. He was believing like spoiled
child. The buffalo plowed the dust
with his hoofs for minute in defiant
attitude, and then concluded he was
vindicated and had enough. The fight
was declared draw, but the 10000
spectators were unanimous in declar-
ing the North Dakota beast the vic

At Deadwood and Leadville he ap-
peared for brief time and made
few conquests OF male hearts, but did
not attempt to cut much Of figure in
society. After leaving there and com

and cut a bigger figure in society.
Young men fell in love with his pretty
face and his superb figure and made
proposals of marriage to him, while
young ladies regarded him with ad-

had money and spent it freely; he
dressed stylishly and extravagantly,
and he entertained often and well.

The Salvation Army, which has oc-
eupied a unique field in SO many re-
Ilgious and social reforms In the past,
has entered upon a new campaign.
This time it is the suicide who Is the
center of the army's solieitude, and
Gen. William Booth, the aged leader
Of the organization, has just opened
up In London a special bureau whose
mission shall be to snatch from the
brink of selfimposed death those who
would plunge over. The bureau Is in
charge of two Salvation Army officers
OF wide experience Of life, to whom
those who have come to the conclus-
ion that their difficulties are insuper-
able and that life is not worth living
may apply for advice. The office will
be at 101 Queen Victoria street, E. O.,
and applicants may either call be-
tween 10 a. m. and $50 p. m. or
write. The following rules have been
laid down by Gen. Booth:
Condolences will be rigidly kept and
secrecy inviolably preserved.
No inquiries into the antecedents
or private circumstances Of appli-
cants will be made
Nothing will be committed to writ
ing without the express permission Of
applicants.
No financial assistance can be
! promised.
All those living in any part Of the
United Kingdom who are in serious
difficulties are incited to apply. They
will be certain of getting counsel
which will check them on the path
which leads to self-destruction.
The need for such an experiment
lies in the fact that suicides in the
United Kingdom have increased by
200 per cent. in SO years and by l5C
/ per cent. in 25 years. In 1904, the
last year for which official figures arc
available. 2.523 men and S22 women
took their lives in England and Wales
alone, while the total in the Metro
politan police district was $50. Al
I least an equal number of persons
Y we're prevented from accomplishing
their intention.
How rapid has been the increase
during recent years may be seen from
the following official statistics Of sui
eides In England and Wales sine
1895.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct 80
FanaticaI excitement Of negroes calling

appears to have been the cause Of the

was killed, several others wounded, and
a number Of negroes badly injured.
The isolated house in which half doz-
en- negroes barrcaded themselves and
which was fired upon by policemen for
the better part Of two hours, proves TO
have been q meeting place Of the sect.
Last nights trouble started during

drew raZorS on Policeman Cambias be

through the windows. RazorS were
drawn across his face and neck, NOR

Those who remained and barrlcadcd
themselves were well armed and after
the negroes had been smoked into sub
mission by Il burning fence, several
shotgns and other firearms were found
''ndcr the meeting house.
Excitement in that section of the city
where the negroes held forth grew in

ments on Petition of Millionaire
Seeking Divorce.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 2l.--
Counsel representing Augustus Hartje,
the Pittsburg manufacturer, who WAS
refused a divorce from Mary Scott Hart
je. by the Allegheny county court, APP
peared before the state superior court
here today to make argument on petl-
ton for the rcopening of the case on
the ground of newly discovered evidence.
The evidence consists OF alleged III
eliminating letters which passed between
Mrs. Hartic and the family coachman,
Thomas Nadine, who was named co
respondent i'll the suit, and other letters
which passed between Mrs. Hartje's two
sisters and Howard w. Lappe. Chief
Judge Rice after Il consultation with the
other Judges informed Hartje's attCr-
ney that the court did not desire at this
time to listen to argument on the merits
of the appeal but that the court was
anxious to hear argument as to the
courts power to order the reopcning of
the case.
Counsel for both sides then proceeded
to argue on the question of the courts
right to reopen the case and at the CON
cluSion of the matter was taken under
Amusement.
