HISTORY OF THE CHICKEN.
Originally Wild Fowl, But Domesti
Gated For Many Centuries.

Oscar Err writes in Bulletin $50 of
the Kansas agricultural experiment
station:
To one Who is familiar with the
different types Of chickens to be
found in a poultry show room it
seems almost incrcdible that these
varieties should have descended from
one parent source. 1t is. however,
thought by scientists that all domas-
tic chickens have been bred from Il
single species of a Jungle fowl of In
dia.
This wild chicken is smaller than
the COMMON varieties and is colorcd
in il I'M similar to the black
breasted game breed. The habits Of
this bird are like those Of the quail
and prairie chicken. both Of which
belong to the same geological family.

Poultry is also known to have been
bred in the early B%ahyIonian and
Egyptian periods. Here, however, the
progress was in il different line from
that Of China. Artificial incubation
was early developed and the selection
was for birds that produced eggs

CABANISS ON VIRGINIA TEAM.
Elk. Newberry Star Receiver Will Play
With University This Year While
Taking Medical Course.

ColumDlai rtnte.
The fofmwing is taken from a daily
paper of Richmond, Va:
"That the University of Virginia

positive opinion of a well-posted To-

"He is certainly a good one,'

Cleveland's first administration was
marked by general prosperity; by the
admission of four new states (Wasii-

South Dakota) to the Union, and by
a freer use of the veto power than
had generally been exercised by other
presidents. On the meeting of CON
gress, in December, 1887, he devoted
his annual message mainly to the adj
vocacy OF a reduction in tariff 1q-ies

Death Is Unexpected.
While Mr.. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last two years and
had lost a hundred pounds in weight,
his death came Unexpectedly.
The news of Mr.. Cleveland's death
came as a sudden shock to the PEG.

II was not until late in the day
that messages of coincidence began TO
come in from all parts of the world
TO Mrs. Cleveland. One OF the first
was from Mr.. Roosevelt.
So suddenly did Mr.. Cleveland's
death occur that not n of his four
children were az home. The children

The kilograms of coincidence came
in by the hundreds from all parts Of
the United States and other countries

Alarm at Chihuahua.
At Chihuahua there is considerable
alarm among the citizens and guards
are continually passing through the
streets. A great many extra police
have been sworn in. Both jails of Chi
huahua are protected by reinforced
guards, and troops are stationed on
the roofs of public buildings.
Two hundred men of the Eighteenth

Railroads Suffer Heavily.
Information brought here last night
by passengers on the incoming Next

and approaches to Torreon on every
road except the Mexican Central have
been burned. The International line
out of Torreon, on which Is located
the town of Matamoras, reported to be
in the hands of revolutionists, has suf.

tion had been pronounced and the
members of the family, President
Roosevelt and others who had gather
ed about the grave, were leaving the
cemetery.
Services Were Simple.
Many of the personal friends of the
dead statesman fingered about the
spot which was to mark his last rest
ing place, and each in turn was per-
mitted to cast a shovelful of earth into
the grave.
Agreeably to the wishes of Mrs.
Cleveland, the services, both at the
house and at the cemetery, were of
the simplest character. An invoca-
ton, Scriptural reading. a brief prayer
and the reading of William Words
worth's poem, Character of the Hap
by Warrior constituted the services
at the house, while the reading of the
burial service at the grave was brief
and impressive.
Distinguished Men Present.
Although the funeral was of a strict
ly private nature, those in attendance
numbered many distinguished citi-
zens, including President Roosevelt,
Gov. Fort of New Jersey, Gov. Hughes
of New York, Gov. Hoke Smith of
Georgia, former members of President
Cleveland's cabinet, officials of the
Equitable Life Assurance society,
members OF the Princeton university
faculty and friends and neighbors.
Mr.. Cleveland was buried with all
the simplicity and privacy that he
himself might have wished, as a pri-
vate citizen rather than as the former
chief executive of the nation. There
was nothing that savored of the Off
cial, and the military element was in,
jected solely as a measure of precau-
ton in protecting President Roose-
welt.
President Offers Sympathy.
The president arrived at 4:3S p. m.
and was met at the station by Gov.
Fort. The president, Gov. Fort and
Secretary Loeb were driven at once
to Westland. Upon his arrival at the
house the president went to Mrs.
Cleveland, offering his sympathy and
expressing keen regret at Mr.. Cleve-
lands death,
The president then returned to the
reception room, where the body had
been removed in the afternoon from
the room on the second floor in which
Mr.. Cleveland died.
