PIGEON HALTs ON LONG TRIP.
From Charleston for Cooper Square
It Stops at the Battery.

NEW YORK. December ia bedrag-
gled carrier pigeon beat it's way YEARLY
across the upper bay in the driving rain
storm at noon yesterday, lowered over
the Battery seawall a moment and then
dropped to the coping of the Aquarium,
whence it fiuttered to the ground. A
passerby picked up the bird, which made
no attempt to escape, and carried it inside
the building.
Attached to the brass ring encircling
the pigeons leg was strip of thin waxed
paper bearing the following inscription:
Introducing Beauty, a record breaker.
Left Charleston, s. c., December 9, bound
for Cooper Square. If l am in trouble
give me a square meal and pass me
along"
Beauty got a square meal, for which he
seemed very grateful, and after rest and
thorough drying out he was taken out
side again and tossed into the air. After
circling a few times to take its bearings
the pigeon headed north on the last lap
of its 700 mile journey and was quickly
lost to view.

Fancy Skaters at Rink.

The management of the Convention Hall
skating rink sprang a pleasant surprise
on the large crowd present last night
when they ordered the hall cleared of
the skaters for the use Of ten comely and
handsomely costumed girls. They formed
in couples and performed some very diff
cult feats on their rollers besides giving
a few lessons in the art of fancy skating.
They occupied the hall for about half
hour during which time dull moment
never presented itself, and the attendance
showed it's appreciation by enthusiastically
applauding the fair gliders. The costumes
worn by the girls were made in the Wat
teau shepherdess style and also attracted
attention for their unique pattern and
loneliness.

President Pulliams own report was COM
plete In every detail. He suggested sew
eral changes in the playing rules; be rec
commended that the sale of soft" drinks
in bottles and the sale of intoxicants be
prohibited in the grandstands; he urged
that double-headers and seven-inning
games be done away with except when
absolutely necessary on account of post
ponement for rain: he proposed making
these automatic. and not subject to the
whims of the home club; he called atten-
ton to the necessity for improving the
quarters of visiting players, particularly
at New York, Brooklyn. Chicago and
PlttsburS. So far as could be learned the
report was heartily approved by the dele
gates.
Some corrective action is likely TO be
taken before the meeting is over, partic-
uiarly on the question of double header
games.
The corridors of the hotel were crowd
ed all day with base ball men and ru-
mors wefe flying around of deals and
exchanges of players none of which,
however, could be run down. 1t was said
on good authority that Fred Tenney would
not play with Boston next year but Il
could not be learned what club would
get the clever first baseman. John ]. Nc
Graw, manager of the Giants, was on
hand but he had nothing TO say abou
the persistent reports that New York
might sell trade Bresnahan, Dahlen.

BY HIS PLUcKY BRIDE
German Nobleman's Escape From a
Madhouse in Germany.

BERLIN, December 11.-Count Erbach
has escaped from the madhouse prison
to which he was sent for wedding Dora
Fischer, washerwoman's beautiful
daughter. Defying the young nobleman's
powerful relatives, Erbach's bride bribed
an asylum warden to aid in the flight.
The latter furnished a file, with which
the count cut the bars of his windows.
Sliding down a rope from the easement
he joined his wife, who awaited him in
an automobile, caught an express train.
travelled for several hours before the es-
cape was discovered, left the train, took
another automobile and has now COM
pletely disappeared.
The couple is supposed to be on the way
to Switzerland. Erbach's father Is doing
everything in his power to arrest the
fugitive while still on German soil. He
has so many hours start, however, that
there is small chance of overtaking him.
1t is unlikely that the Swiss authorities
will give him up.
Fischer has been formally annuiled,
through the Erbach family influence, but
it is said to be their intention to be
welded a second time as soon as they
reach a place of refuge.
Young Erbach met Fraulein Fischer
while visiting one of his fathers country
estates something more than three years
ago. He was then only eighteen and had
temporarily to abandon all thought of
marriage.
On reaching his majority he eloped with
the girl, crossed the French frontier with
her in an automobile, went with her to
London by way of Paris. married her,
and then, leaving her behind. imprudent-
ly returned to Germany, hoping to make
peace with his family.
He was seized at Frankfort-on-M Main

before special court, which pronounced
him insane and committed him to an
asylum.
A second special court set aside his
right of succession to his ancestral es-
tates, including three castles, magnifi-
cent city residences at Berlin, Munich
and Vienna and an income of $2,OOO,OOO
annually.

LEFT NO WILL.
Joseph Kindregan Called on Judge ! Cowell About a Week Ago.

Joseph Kindregan, who died sud- denly at the Chelsea the other day Is supposed to have left no heirs, in which case his estate, supposed 10 be worth about S40,000, will go to the estate after the customary post-mor- tenn expenses are paid, as he left no will. In the court of probate to- day two applications of the appoint ment of an administrator were filed. one by Judge George H. Cowell, At torney E. r. Cole and Attorney H. w. Minor, and one by Attorney c. G. Root. representing Samuel P. Will Hams, but subsequently, all joined in one application and there will be a hearing on the matter next Monday.
 It would appear that Kindregan had a premonition that he was near ing the end, though he was not in a delicate state of health. A few days before his death he called upon his old friend and counsel, Judge Cowell for the purpose of drawing up his will. He calculated then that h,s estate would figure up about S40,OOO, $S0,00O of which Is hard cash in To- cal banks. and the remainder rail- road stock. He did not think the latter would bring more than $1O,- 900. He told Judge Cowell that he had no heirs that he knew of. yet so far as known he made no distribu- ton of his property or left directions for its division after his death. His attorneys for the past 20 years were Judge Cowell and Attorney Cole.

NEW IN TEDDY BEARS.
One Now With Electric Eyes Lighted Up by Squeezing the Bears Paw.

The newest thing in Teddy bears is one that has for eyes tiny ineandes- cent electric lights. Not lighted up
 these look like ordinary eyes: but squeeze one of the bears paws and instantly they glow with light.
 Instead of the ordinary stuffing the electric Teddy bear has inside of it q little storage battery with wires running to the little lamps that serve as the bears eyes and also to one of the bears paws within which is con tained the switch by which the CUT rent is turned on. The eyesglow only while the pressure on the paw IS cvn- tinued shutting of automatically when the pressure is released, and as it is not supposed that anybody would want to sit and squeeze the bear's paw continuously it is calculated that the battery will furnish current enough for some hundreds of flashes and that it will last for from two to four months.
 The electric Teddy Bears, which are made in various sizes and also in various colors, as cinnamon. polar and black, are supplied with eyes white and red and green, and by buying extra eyes one can have a bear with eyes of one color in the another color in the after noon, and still another color at night. for the tiny lamps that form the electric bears eyes screw into sockets like any other incandcscent lamp. and you can unscrew the white eyes and screw in red ones if you want to. When the storage battery is exhausted it can be taken out and q fresh one put in.
