SHARK PUTS ON STYLE.
Wears BRrreI-Hoop Necklace and Ia
Clicked to Death.

Clicked to Death.
Nature fakirs, attention
Here Is the story of vain shark that
attempted to wear barrel hoop as a
necklace and choked herself to death,
says the New York World. OF course,
1t must have been a female shark. She
was found on the beach at Rockaway
to-day, having arrived at night with
the high tide.
The shark was about ten feet long.
Fitting close about her neck was a bar
rel hoop and hanging from a point
where her Adams apple ought to be, II
shark had an Adams apple, was a
barrel stave attached to the hoop, like
pendant. Early arrivals on the beach
assert that the stave was branded 10Y

fer, for one Of these conhscated it as
a souvenir.
The carcass of the shark Hoated
ashore at a point near the Park Inn
1t was discovered by man on his way
to take an early morning dip. He
spread the tidings and soon a crowd
gathered In the crowd was a deep
sea Sherlock Holmes. who knows all
about the habits Of dwellers In the
ocean.
1T Is all very plain he explained
I'VE know that sharks frequent the
ocean out where the garbage scows are
dumped This was probably a social
leader Of the school
Some time yesterday she encoun-
tered this stave and hoop floating on
the waves The idea OF decorating her
self occurred to her. She slipped the
hoop over her head and held a recep-
ton, In the course OF which refresh
ments were served.
After partaking freely of the re-
freshments her shark ladyshlp attempt
ed to remove the necklace, but discov.
cred that 1t had become attached to
her. These marks around the edge OF
the hoop show where her maid and hus
band made vain attempts to remove the
ornament Finally discovering that the
resources of her habitat were INSULT

started for Rockaway. In the hope thai

ued by Earl Rogers, for the defense,
who laid stress on the meetings of the
witness with Rudolph spreckels at the
Presidio when the promises Of immun-

Gallagher said he understood that Ruef
ALEC could have immunity if he would
testify. Mr.. Heney protested at at
tempts Of Mr.. Rogers to confuse the
witness by testing his memory, but
Judge Lawlor allowed the examination
20 proceed.
At the afternoon session, Mr.. Heney,
while re-directly examining Gallagher,
called to the counsel table Miss Ella
Coldot, the grand jury's stenographer,
and from her procured the shorthand
notes of Gallagher's confession to
Messrs. Spreckels, Heney and Langdon,
made in the lstter's apartments, and in
consideration of which the witness
gained his immunity contract. Gala

notes.

DEATH IN EARTHQUAKE.
Five Hundred Perish in Italian Trem-
bIor at CaIabria.

Rome, Oct. 25.-Horrible loss Of life
resulted from the earthquake shocks
that occurred throughout Calabria yes
terday. At first it was thought few
persons had persisted, but later reports
add to the mortality list.s
At O'Clock this evening about 200
bodies had been taken from the earth
quake ruins. 1t is now estimated that
the deaths will surpass 500, but il is
impossible to get accurate information
on the subject, as many villages are
still cut off by the feeds and the de-
struction of roads and telegraph lines
and no word from them can be had.
The earthquake shocks continue, bat
they are slight. The people are still
in a condition of apprehension, which
is increased by each tremor. In spite
of the torrentisl rain that is falling
they absolutely refuse to remain under
cover

that Syrup of Figs and Elixir Of
SIENNA is the only remedy of known
value, but one of many reasons why

facilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and

THE DIAMOND
THE SAILING WAS EASY
Whalers However Were Wrecked on the Waterbury Rocks -
 Other Games.

There was little interest taken in Il e game yesterday out in Reidviile, eithe. by the handful of fans who were prt s. ent, or the members of the opposi g teams One tried and true osto; tried hard to instill little gingerrinlo the game in the early stages, but he became innoculated with the gen. eral inertness and fell asleep with the others, before the game had progress ed very far. The Whalers were here, because they were homeless, and they were greeted by one of their own Sat .urday crowds, something less than one thousand in numerical strength and perhaps nearer one hundred. They decreed that one Parker Treat, who at one time wore Waterbury coat of arms, should do the stunts in the cen ter of the infield, and he did them well at that, although it was very evident that the locals took pity on him and saved him from humiliating defeat In the same territory on our side of the house was Stanley Yerkes, tall : and willowy with curves so innumer- able that the Whalers became wreck ed at the very outset and drlfted around hopelessly until the close of the. seance. Three little plngoes was all that Stanley allowed to be chalk ed up against him, while we took six safe ones from our friend Treat.
 The game had just two distinct and brilliant features, one of them was quite spectacular. Yerkes' twirling was the first one, and his work was good enough for any crowd of fans to watch. The other noticeaDie fact was catch made by Captain Nichols al- most behind the shortstop. It hap pened in the fifth inning. Refrange was the first man up and he hit q ball into the air that looked like punk hit. Our speedy captain was after 1t at the first crack of the pat and just when everybody expected to see 1t drop safely. Nick stuck out his hands and he and the ball went down to- gether. The head spins that Nick did should have been witnessed by the Ringing Brothers managers and the man that walks on his head would be side-tracked while Nick would be engaged Whether he scooped 1t or caught 1t none could tell but himself, as he was hidden in cloud of dust. When he emerged with the ball, Shamokin Kelly said "out." while Re- frange said a few things under his breath about Shamokin- that, would cost a Aver If said aloud. We scored two in the sixth on singles by Me- Enroe and Yerkes and a triple by Ward. Another came in the eighth on McAndrews being hit by the pitcher, stealing second and coming home on Lachance's safe drive. The score:
