STATE RESTS IN
DAVIS MURDER CASE

Omaha, Neb., Dec 5.-There were
several sensational situations in the
trial of Charles E. Davis, capitalist,
charged with the murder of DR..
Frederick Rustin. Mrs. Rice took up
most of the forenoon with her story
of how Rustin told her of his plan to
have Davis kill him under the prom
Use that the physician would furnish
Davis with poison with which to take
his own life.
The state placed number of wit
nesses on the stand during the after
noon to corroborate the testimony of
Mrs. Rice and to fix the time of Rus
tins movements and those of Davis
during the evening preceding the
death of the former. The exhibits
offered in evidence formed another
portion of the days proceedings after
which the state rested.
The defense quickly began the in
PRODUCTION of witnesses to impeach
those of the state. who had testified
as to the time Rustin and Davis were
seen downtown and were employed
on that line when adjournment was
taken.

500 CITY
PROBABLY LOST

st. Johns, N. F., Dec. 5.-Wreckage
which has come ashore at Cape Bay
leaves little room for doubt that the
steamer 500 City, which for 20 years
piled as an excursion vessel on the
great lakes, went down with her crew
in the midst of gale that dashed the
New Foundland coast for two days this
week. The exact number of the crew
is in doubt. 1t is known, however,
that no less than IS men were on
board and it has been reported that
the crew was recently increased to 28.
The 500 City sailed from Michigan
City November LIST and reached Og-
densburg, N. Y, November 18th. She
was last reported at Quebec, Novem-
Der 14th. A week later, when nothing
had been heard, much anxiety was felt
and Wednesday last the vessel was
listed by the Maritime Exchange
among the missing.
Yesterday deck cabin and fittings
and 16 life preservers came ashore
These all bore the name 500 City or
other marks identifying them as be-
longing to the lake steamer. During
the day life buoys, deck boards and
other gear unquestionably belonging to
the steamer were washed in.

WARMED Up AXTO
STARTED ANOTHER
TRoTTiNG AssoclA-
TON BRINGS SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST OWNER.

New York, Dec. 5.-The board OF
review of the national trotting associ-
alton yesterday concluded a four
days session with the rendering OF
several minor decisions. The best
known of these probably was that
brought by the association against F..
J. Richardson of Coldwater, Mich, and
the bay mare Axto, formerly Grown
Axe. The evidence showed that the
mare started in trott1ng race under
the name of Axto really was Brown
Axe, an eight or nine year old mare.
"Axto' won the race in 1854, and
shortly thereafter her owner, it was
alleged, sent out notices concerning
the wonderful feat of his weanling AK
to, foaled in March and hanging up
record of 2:54 in October. This
would have constituted worlds rec
ord for weanling. The board of re-
view decided that the weanling, which
was actually warmed up prior to the
race, was not the mare which won the
race. Secretary Mosher was instruct
ed by the board to bring case
against Richardson for attempting
fraud to the prejudice of the trotting
interests

WYOMING HAS HOOP
AND MOUTH DISEASE

President George McKerrow of the
Wisconsin livestock sanitary board
returned yesterday from Chicago
where he attended the big stock show
and saw much that would interest
the enterprising stock grower. Upon
his arrival here he found a letter
from a Wyoming sheep grower de-
scribing hoof and mouth disease
that is affecting the sheep in that
country and asking for an opinion
upon it. Mr. McKerrow says that
from the description of the disease
and it's symptoms it is exactly the
same as affects the cattle in the east,
New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
and Michigan, against which Govern
or Davidson recently proclaimed a
quarantine. Mr.. McKerrow has re-
ferred the matter to the authorities
at Washington and if the judgment
there agrees with his conclusion re-
garding the disease it will become
necessary to order a quarantine
against Wyoming sheep and possibly
against all Wyoming stock, pretty
serious possibility in view of the
fact that much stock from that coun-
try is used in Wisconsin markets.

pion squinter. Automatically; there are
at least two most interesting points
about the chameleon. First, it Is
unique among limbed reptiles as the
possessor of prehensile tail; and,
secondly, for the peculiar blind out
growths of the lungs, which, spreading
through the body literally enable the
animal to swell wisibly".
Generally speaking, the body of the
chameleon presents a very lean and
emaciated appearance, and can, by the
contraction of the muscles lying
between the ribs, become still more
accumulated. This contraction gener-
ally takes place on the chameleon
observing the approach of a foe and
is accompanied by a change of color
to tint closely resembling that of
it's surroundings, making it practically
impossible to detect the whereabouts
of the reptile. For its size the chs
meleon has a very hot and ungovern-
able temper, and if disturbed and
provoked will swell out it's body, hiss,
make violent snaps with its Jaws, and
change from one color to another
with great rapidity. BY this sudden
and extraordinary display of wrath it
very easily startles and puts to flight
it's smaller, unwelcome visitors.
To watch chameleon feeding is
really wonderful and most interest
ing sight The chameleon, resting
absolutely motionless upon a bough,
except for the Independent rolling
eyes, watches until an insect comes
within the length of about its body
and tail, then suddenly the long,
feshy, cylindrical tongue with its
curious lobed, cup-shaped end, is
shot out, and the victim is stuck fast
to it by a viscid secretion and drawn
into the hungry mouth. If in a
healthy condition the chameleon
thoroughly enjoys tepid spray bath,
administered by the aid of a garden
syringe. The water used should never
be quite cold but with just the chill
off, 1t also likes to lick the water
off the leaves of the bush or shrub
upon which it has taken up its abode.
Although not exactly of an affection
ate disposition, it soon learns to rec
ognize its master or mistress, and on
seeing him will climb along the bough
in expectation of a feast of meal
worms. Altogether, the chameleon
makes a most charming and interest
ing pet requiring but little attention
beyond a daily supply of live meal
worms. and a cage kept at a regular
and even temperature.

CREAM CITY HIT
BY SUICIDE WAVE

Milwaukee, Dec. 5.-Following close
after the breaking of gloomy day,
three persons sought death in this
city yesterday. Two were successful
and third is struggling back to lite
at the Emergency hospital. Unre-
quilted and disappointed love is the
cause in two cases, while in a third,
inability to raise money on raort-
gage, was the reason. Gas, al enic
and a gun were used by the unhappy
ones in their efforts to put an end to
their existence, and the gas route was
the only one that was not successful.
The record for the day:
Charles Stefan, aged 81 years, ma
sons helper, lives at 1922 Fourteenth
street; shot himself through the head,
and died immediately.
Adeline Horenberg, aged 20 years,
waitress, SIS Grand avenue; swal-
lowed a dose of arsenic, died at the
Emergency hospital.
William Kourtlandt, aged IS, tan
ner, 2Sf First avenue; tried suicide
by turning on the gas: unsuccessful.

CAPT. pARkIhson,s mAnATEE.

Forest and Stream.-Ocean View
about eight miles from Norfolk, is
one of the many summer resorts OF
that city. Among it's many attrac
tons is that of hauling the seine, and
while occasionally very rare fish are
caught, yet it happened to be the luck
of Capt. Jim Parkinson, the owner
of a fishery" in front of the Baycroft
club, one day last week, to draw
ashore a manatee. Such a thing was
never known before in this vicinity,
and no one knew what it was, save
that it as an enormous mammal that
moaned somewhat harmless. 1t was
seine to secure it. Capt. Parkinson
between IL and Is feet long, and esti-
mated to weigh between 1,500 and
1000 pounds, and required the seine
crew, augmented by everyone in sight
and haul possibly 100 persons in all,
with the assistance of ropes to man
age it while they disentangled it
from the seine to secure it. Capt.
Parkinson had no idea what it was un-
til he got book on natural history
from the Baycroft clubs library, and
then he was able to identify his cap
tive. He thought that he had a find
that the aquarium in New York, or
possibly the Washington geological
gardens, would pay high for, so with
his crew and their assistants they
managed to get the sea-cow or rather
seal ull-for the captive was a male
into his largest seine boat, from which
he had removed such seats and other
fixtures as would interfere with it's
being turned into cage. He then
nailed the boards across the boat and
set his crew to work to gather such
sea grass and cabbage as he thought
the beast would eat, and towed the
boat out from shore, partly filled 1t
with water and anchored it for the
night, feeling sure that he could make
a comfortable sum of money by first
exhibiting the monster, and still
further sum from its sale.
Visions of a comfortable bank &C
count made his sleep that night pleas
ant, and his happy convictions that a
small fortune was his were only dis
PEELED next morning when on viewing
the boat he observed that it rode
lighter than it ought to have done,
and a closer inspection revealed the
fact that the manatee. having objected
to his confinement in such flimsy
structure. had burst the Stats from
the top of the boat, and departed
without apologies to his host

lions of the body in session here yes

laboring man to the church was one
that dared not be ignored. He said
that topics must be introduced to in

He declared that socialism had taken
the lead from the churches in taking

LONG DISTANCE TYPEsETTlNG.

News comes from London, says the
New York Herald, of an ingenious
method of long distance typesetting,
controlled by wireless telegraphy. The
inventor is Herr Knudsen, a Dane.
His machine is still in the laboratory
stage and possibly may remain there
But even if this should be the case
it is clever and interesting. The OPP
orator manipulates an ordinary type
writer keyboard, and the receiver
may be either typewriter or nno-
type machine. Travelling contract
carriers pass over the keyboar1s at
both ends of the line and are so syn
chronized that they are always over
the same key at the same time. If
key Of the transmitting keyboard has
been depressed there is spark when
the contact carrier passes it, and the
resulting electric wave acts ON the
receiver to depress the correspond
ing key there. Thus the message is
spelled out, letter by letter, being
typewriter or linotyped, according to
the character of the receiver. A
model using typewriter is said to
have worked successfully in London,
which would indicate that the diff
Guilty of getting the two machines to
work together has been overcome.
Probably one of the new types of
synchorus electric motors is used,
such as is now employed to operate
moving picture machines and phono-
graphs together to produce the so
called talking pictures" But in this
case the motions to be synchronized
are only a few feet away, and the
stations were probably in the same
building in the laboratory test of the
typesetter. 1t is different thing to
synchronize moving parts that are
miles apart, though this is not i'm
possible. The difficulty of wireless
control at distance, however, is
greater. A motor baggage truck has
been successfully started and stopped
by wireless in one of our large rail-
way stations. Had the control key
been 100 miles away, however, the
success of the plan may be doubted
The possibility of a man in ST.
Petersburg setting type on London
paper" which is suggested to the
mind of an enthusiastic reporter by
these experiments, may be regarded
as sufficiently remote.

cabinet, spoke of his former chief in
words of sincere praise. He said:
Mr.. Cleveland was not politician;
he intrigued neither for place nor
fame; his shining qualities gave him
place and impartial history will take
care of his fame. Duty was not his
watchword, because he did not in
dulge in catch phrases, but it was his
guiding star under whose steady light
he always quietly pursued his way,
both in public and private life. AS
husband and father he was a model
of the domestic virtues. AS compan-
ion, he was lovable-most lovable to
those who knew him best, knew that
he .fawned on nobody for effect and
that every manifestation Of affection
came fresh from a warm heart. It is
a benediction to have been one of his
intimates; it is = sweet memory to
have been his friend. If the meeting
which your society has organized in
his honor shall disseminate a wider
knowledge of him as he was in all
the relations of life, it will prove to
the public to be benediction."
Judson Harmon, governor-elect of
Ohio, and attorney general in Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet, paid tribute to
the memory of Cleveland in letter
in which he said he thought Cleve-
land was 'the least generally known
and understood of all our presidents. y
In a telegram former Governor
Francis, secretay of the interior un-
der Cleveland, spoke feelingly of the

THE GENTLE CHAMELEON.
An INTEREST," 9 Pet Not Dangerous and
Not Extremely Hard to Keen.

OF all the various species of reptiles
that are kept as pets, the chameleon
is probably the most interesting
tainly the most bizarre in appearance.
Unfortunately, they are very suscep-
tible to cold, and therefore difficult to
keep through the eyer-varying climatic
conditions of Northern winter. New
ertheless, so quaint, interesting and
amusing pet is the chameleon that
it will well repay one for all the
trouble or care lavished upon it.
Certainly the most successful method
of keeping chameleons would be to
let them have the run of small con-
servatory, kept at an even temperature
of about IS degrees to 70 degrees
Fair, and in which there were
few dwarf trees for them to climb
about. A cheap and successful meth
Cd, where conservatory is out OF
the question, is to have wooden
cage, with a glass front and sides,
and a shallow water-tank floor. The
water in a tank can quite easily be
kept at an even temperature by means
of spirit lamp placed beneath it. In
such cages the author has kept cha
MELONS and boa constructors most
successfully, and at very small cost.
Once the desired temperature is indi-
Gated on the thermometer, the flame
|of the spirit lamp can be reduced to
a very small size, and the cost of
spirit consumed will only amount to
a few cents per week.
Popular imagination has assigned to
the chameleon the power of changing
through all the colors of the rainbow,
but it's actual performance falls short
of this, some colors being quite
beyond it's powers. However, the
chameleon is something of a quick
change. and can pass through a SER
les of yellows, grays, greens, browns,
to almost black; moreover, it can
accomplish that feat which is beyond
the power of the leopard. for it can,
and does, change the color of its
spots. The main factors that cause
the rapid changes of color are anger,
excitement, fear, warmth, cold and
death. In the full blaze of the sum-
mer sun, the chameleon assumes
'blacldsh hue, with pale, pinkish yell
low spots and ventral stripe.
What quaint, archaic appearance
the chameleon presents, more like the
creation of some monkish sculpture,
a. stone devil of Notre Dame come
to life. or some survivor from past
geological age. The toes, in their
arrangement of three on one side
and two on the other of each hand
and foot, are singularly suggestive
Of bird, as is also the manner in
which they grasp the bough upon
which the chameleon is resting or
climbing. The constantly changing
facial expressions are very quaint
and laughable. There is always
look of sardonic humor lurking round
the lines of the mouth and it is
greatly increased by the weird effects
produced by the independently moving
eyes; indeed, the reptile is a cham
