HE ATE HIS BLANKET.
As Result Gotham Orang- Outang
Required an Operation.

New York. Feb. 14.-Early last
week Dohong (Jungle MANI, a re-
markedly intelligent inmate of the
orang-outang quarters at the Bronx
park zoo, was seized with a fervent
desire to devour everything in sight
He started out to eat his cage. Find
ing this unsatisfactory as a culinary
delight, he turned his attention to a.
heavy blanket. The blanket diet
pleased Dohong immensely. He was
making good progress before he was
detected by his keeper.
The keeper summoned a physician.
1t was too late. Dohong developed a
promising case of "blanketitis.'' DR..
Blair, veterinary, and DR.. Brooks,
pathologist, decided that in order to
save Dohong's life. something had to
be done to his pyloric orifice. An
operation was i'm perative.
Rather than perform such a diff
cult operation upon their own re-
sponsibtlity the physicians decided to
engage the services of an eminent spe-
cia1ist.
1t is said that the eminent Manhat-
tan surgeon who off1ciated in the case
will receive $1,000.
Thoroughly wrapped in bandages,
Dohong refused to meet any of the
callers at the zoo today.

COAST. LINE OFFICERS.
Santa Fe Officials, Approve Plans for
San Bernardino Improvements.


San Bernardino, Feb 14-Wurd has
been received that the revised plans
for the general storehouse and general
office building in this, city have been
finally approved by the head officials
of the Santa Fe, land it is believed
work on the structure will without
doubt be commenced soon zl.'
The revised plans for the structure
call for a building 50x370 feet for the
storehouse proper, with a long addition
on one end for office purposes, this por-
ton being two stories in height. Be-
side the storehouse there will be a load
ing platform about 600 feet in length.
The entire structure will be of REIN
forced concrete and will be as near
fire-proof as is possible to make it. 1t
will cost, UNFINISHED, about $4,000.
The first floor of the office portion of
the building will be arranged for the
offices of~thes master mechanic. and dir
vision storekeepers, with their eutire9
clerical forces. The second floor Will
be occupied by General Storekeeper 1.
J. Custer and his force of clerks. Be-
sides plenty of room and light for the
office forces, there will be large filing
rooms and fire-proof vaults for records,
a thing that is entirely lacking in the
present office quarters.
A storehouse of the same capacity,
without the office quarters. will be
erected at Albuquerque, and a smaller
one at Richmond, the plans for all
three having been approved.

sandusky. Ohio. Feb. 14.-To attend
the wedding anniversary celebration of
a sister who lives in Buffalo Jack Ma
honey fisherman, walked from his home
on Pelee Island. across Lake Erie, to
this city a distance of 80 miles, and
caught the only train that would land
him in New York city in time.
The trip was made through a blind
ing snowstorm and in the teeth of a
fierce gale from the west. Mahoney
left Pelee at 8 o'clock in the morning
and arrived in Sandusky at Z at night.
During the afternoon, he says, when
little more than half way across
Lake Erie, he suddenly found himself
adrift on a huge cake of ice. Like
Eliza in Uncle Toms Cabin" he
jumped from cake to cake, until at
last he reached a solid surface and
pursued his journey.

BITTER Fight IN Q. r. G.
Conductors and Trainmen Clash Over
Reelection of Chief Garretson.


The negotiations for higher wages,
shorter hours and more favorable
working conditions that have been in
progress, for several weeks in Chicago
between the conductors and trainmen
of the western roads and the general
managers, are said to have resulted in
one of the bitterest political fights in
the history of organized labor The
struggle is not expected to end until
next May in Memphis, Tenn. when A.
b. Garretson, grand chief conductor Of
the Order of Railway Conductors, VIII
seek reelection to that position. -
The trouble is said to be due; to the
action of the conductors representing
a few of the western lines, who wished
to withdraw from the joint negotiations
and seek to gain whatever concessions
they can from the Individual roads
This move is said to have been vigor-
ously opposed by Garretson.

ductorss order ewEss when j. B. -Carif1

is a united demand by the conductors

tightly. lit is understood that Garrett

roads south and west of Chicago, but
that the eastern and northwestern
roads will go. into the convention or

The secret OF. the northwestern con-
ductors refusing to join in the general
conference is, said to be that the last

Makes Additional Demands on
McGraW's Purse.
Declares That. He is Entitled
to $500 Extra This Year.

New York. Feb. 14.-There is a
fight to a finish on between the man
agemente of the New York club and
Mike Donlin over the amount of sal
airy Donlin is to receive for lining
them OUT for the Giants next season,
provided the mighty batsman joins the
team.
DonHn leaves for Chicago this morn
ing, where he will act as business
manager for his wife. He is firm in
his stand that the club shall pay him
the salary he asks and to prove his
sincerity has made an additional de-
mand. Donlin said last night:
I'm some quarters doubts have been
expressed as to the justice of my claim
for an Increased salary next year from
the. New York club. 1t has been said
will back down. I leave for Chicago
'tomorrQW and will join the New York

tending my broken leg when. came
here from Cincinnati last spring.
eff the club meets these conditions
will sign at once. If not then Will
take advantage of other opportunities
that have been offered me-"
Secretary Knowles in behalf of the
club is just as firm as Donlin: He said
yesterday: s.
''Donlin7s contract was made out as
usual and handed to him two weeks
ago, Itawas the same as his contract
last year. 1t is true that he asked for
an increase, but that is not extraordi-
nary, as ball players and men in other
lines of business do every day. There
is rno-trouble between the New York
club and sDonlin. He simply has his
contract and it's up to him to sign it
and return 1t If he expects to play this
season.
