ever, and in a iiffy had waltzed around the matador, who found 1t no easy matter to keep his feet because of the shifting of the vessel.
 The excitement was intense. Even the officers on the bridge left their stations and added their "bravos' to those of passengers and crew.
 1t lokoed as though the bulls time had come. and some of the forecastls hands were betting how soon the ani- nal would be killed when the matador suddenly dropped his sword and, giving yell of terror, ran up the ladder to the promenade deck, leaving the bull to his own devices.
 Fl Toro paved the sword once or 1 twice and as he began to below for more worlds to conquer, Joan Fuetos, 8 19-year-old sailor, jumped down into the well, grabbed the sword and gave the bull a savage dig.
 The animal did not like the new at- tack and turning sharply charged the sallorman. F1letos was not dsmayed. Twice he thrust the sword into the shoulder of the bull, and as he with drew if for third the ship gave an unusual lurch, and a sea broke into the well.
 The sailor dodged 1t. but the wave caught the bull, threw it off It's feet. and before the surprised passengers could cheer washed it overheard.
 The passengers raised a purse for Fuetos, who was real hero. Picardos kept to hls cabin when the vessel berthed at Pier 10, East River and ds- clined to discuss the matter.

 Planned,

Vice-Presdent Edward G. BuclNand of the New Haven road has made pub lie details of the railroads plans for acquiring the stock and bonds of the United Traction and Electric Co.,, and the bonds of the Rhode Island Subur- ban Co.,, which aggregate S22, ,0O0O GOO of securities,
 A total of $S,000,O00 in stock and $o,000,O00 in five per cent, bonds uf the United Traction, which owns the street railway system of Providence and adjoining territory and nearly $5,000,000 of the Rhode Island Su- burban's four per cent bonds are in- cluded in the proposed consolidation of the electric companies into one corporaton.-th Rhode Island Co. The bonds of the Providence Socuri- ties Co., issued in exchange for the stock of the Rhode Island Securities Co. are not affected bN the deal
 In discussing the matter Mir. Buck land said that the New Haven Inter- csts would gain the advantage of sim plihed accounting and that the trae- ton shareholders would have the ben- eft of the direct guarantee of the New Haven road, instead of the se- curity afforded by the lease of the property to the Rhode Island Co.,, now controlled by the New Haven. This gliarant ., he believed, would broale len the market for the stock and make 1t especially desirable as q conservative investment, and the present traction shareholders also would profit by the | addition of the Woonsockct system to l the property of the Rhode Island Co.

New York, Oct 13--Bull fighting in an arena where the animal has not a ghost of a chance is quite different from bull fighting in gale of wind aboard ship as Valantin Picardos, one of Spain's best matadors, found out to his sorrow during the trip of the Spanish line steamer Antonio Lopez, which arrived here today.
 The passengers of the Lopez showed their noses skyward today when men- tion was made of Senor Picardos cour- age, and a dark-eyed senorita who came in The vessel said that the mata- dor's idol was shattered

CLEVELAND AND GRANT.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1905. by Edwin A. Nye.

Sweet are the uses of adversely.
1t may not seem so sometimes.
To him who is exercised thereby the
Christening may be not pleasant, but
grievous, yet lit works out a far more
exceeding weight of glory"
Which Is proved again In the career
OF Grover Cleveland and by the career
or every great man.
No one has ever trod the higher
planes OF life except he has come up to
his place by way that sometimes was
dark and stony.
There was time In the life of Grover
Cleveland when he had TO decide be.
tween the demands Of his party and
the demands OF his conscience-on the
one hand the tumult and the shouting
or the captains, on the other the whls-
Pering OF the inward monitor. And
treading the wine press alone, he shut
his ears to the shoutings and listened
TO the still. small voice.
Grover Cleveland had his failings
but he viii always stand In the recol
lection OF his cOuntrymen a superb fig.
ure OF moral courage.
Some OF 1t he lived down. Some OF
his detractors he won over. There are
those who believed to the day OF his
death that going into office poor he
came out millionaire. 1t remained
Tor the probate court-when this stub
born patriot was In his grave-to show
the world that he was not a rich man
Adversely made him great.
His efforts to do the right and his
bravery 30 suffer wrong shaped him
into the full measure OF real greatness
1t was so with General Grant.
1t was dark for him when the com.
mandant OF that lonely post on the Pa.
ciic coast gave Grant notice that be
must reform his drinking habits or re
sign.
And Grant did both.
Vicksburg was not the first great
victory for Grant Down on that little
forest farm near st. Louis he laid siege
TO his fell lust for liquor and con-
quered 1t.
Like Cleveland. he was greatly abused
by his fellows. To this day there are
many who believe he was n drunkard.
Nor was Appomattox his latest vic
tory. 1t was when he was old and
broken In fortune. mortally stricken by
disease. fighting death with broken
sword. he rose to the full height Of
q real greatness and sent to all his coun-
trymen his dying exhortation:
LET us have peace-'
Cleveland and Grant are far beyond
the reach OF partisan rancor and CEN
sure OF the multitude their grand ng-
ures lit up by the pure sunshine Of
merited fame.
Adversely made them great.

SHAME ON YOU

Nobody wants me. My father has
gone away long ago, and mother left
me la the street the other day. Mother.
she wants TO so back to Europe"
Thus said Willie Peterson, cripple.
Taking hitch In the leather strap
which bound some clumsy braces to
his poor misshapen limbs, the boy,
twelve years old, told his story to the
secretary of the Humane society at
New York.
Man. woman, boy, girl, IL you have
troubles OF your own, read the story.
Crippled by ignorance, nearly
starved. deserted by his parents.
turned adrift In the streets, the lad was
as lively and clipper as a morning
robin.
Willie Peterson fell out OF bed when
he was baby, injuring his legs. I'm
properly attended, he was made q life
cripple. And this is how he faced his
fate.
II can walk all right" be said, tax
ing hold or the braces with which he
has learned to hold himself up. 1T
hurts some. but II doesn't keep me
from walking. I can get upstairs.
BUT | HAVE TO WALK ON MY
HANDS AND KNEES THEN"
Poor battered midget.
And YOU. You can so upstairs in
three bounds. yet you whine TO your
self about your petty handicaps and
snifiie over your troubles
Does not the brave and CHEEKY spirit
OF this manned. half starved. deserted.
but dauntless cripple shame you into
silence? In the face OF his fortitude
either keep still or pay the penalty OF
losing your self respect.
Who are you. whole and healthful.
that you should vex the Providence
OF Willie Peterson with cowardly
cries:
fou may be amazed and shocked at
the revelation OF selfishness and cal
lousness In the heart OF his peryert
mother. How could she bring herself
to abandon brave little son like Willie
Peterson, son crippled and half or
phaned? His pitiful lameness ought
to have made him all the dearer to
the mother heart.
And
You may wonder and speculate and
be unable to explain by what mystic
rious way the strong and lovely flower
or fortitude ever could have grown In
the poor soil OF degeneracy.
But-there's the boy.
And you are stung into shame OF
yourself by the soul OF this dauntless
youngster OF the city streets
