Only A Porcupine-Not a Bear

One day this week three Chlca-
60 gentlemen who are stopping at
the Shing -guak En-Dot resort on
Muskallonge lake. had an exper-
renee that they Will remember for
some time. While roaming thru
the woods they discovered what
they thought was cub bear and
they rushed to the resort after
a gun. Their genial and accom-
modating host Fred Folts grab
bed his 5000 rifle and went on
the bear hunt. After walking on
the alert for two miles, the game
was spotted up tree, but instead
of being a bear, large porcupIne
weighing about SO pounds was
discovered. Fred returned home
a tired but wiser hunter. Porkey
was so large that the Chicago gen
tlemen thought it must have been
bear. as "porcupine' was a new
one to them.

when Petit went to the state peniten-
tiary the plaintiff sent him tobacco and
notions of the value of $3.50. Petit died
on Aug. y. 1907. No attention was paid
to the plaintiffs demand on the admin

to recover $3.50 on an Overdraft from
Caravelis & Co, in which the defendant
and others were interested. The lower
court rendered judgment for the defend
ant. In August the supreme court re-
manded the case for a new trial, but
granted a new hearing. This resulted yes

The amount of taxes collected up to last
night was approximately S1,S00,Oo0. The

Deaf and Dumb Girl Has Narrowing
Experience.

Jane Ellen Warurk. a 16-year-old deaf
and dumb girl. was found last night on
First North street, wandering around in
an almost frozen condition.
The girl had become lost in a part of
the city strange to her and, unable TO
communicate with anyone. she had wan
dered around in a bewildered manner in
the snow for several hours before a
passer-by, attracted by her appearance,
notified the police. When she was taken
TO the station she was in a pitiable con-
dition, her clothes bedraggled and soak
ing wet. her cheeks and lips blue with the
cold and shivering from the chill of her
hours of wandering
BY means of paper and pencil it was
learned that her home was at Tenth
West and Twelfth North streets, and
after she had been warmed and tempo
rarily cared for she was taken to her
parents.

NOT A SINGLE BREAK.

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CA
BILE IS LANDING.
And in it's leading editorial of the
same day 1t said:
such (the landing of the cable) is
the startling intelligence which reaches
us just as we are going to press. We
find it difficult to believe the report, for
recent events have prepared us for
very different result, and yet the dis
patch comes to US through our regular
agent who would not deceive u.s. He
may have been imposed upon, but that
is quite unlikely. If the few coming
hours shall confirm the inspiring It'd
ings, and the cable is landed and in
working condition. all other events that
may happen through the world on this
day, Will be trifies.
Tomorrow the hearts of the civilized
world will beat to a single pulse, and
from that time forth, fOrevermore, the
continental divisions of the earth will
in a measure lose those conditions of
time and distance which now mark
their relation one to the other. But
such an event, like dispensation of
Providence, should be first contemplate

Tumult of Joy.
The news, the Importance of which
William Cullen Bryant thus described
was promptly confirmed by Cyrus w.
Field himself. He had landed from the
American frigate Niagara at Trinity
bay, Newfoundland, on the day before.
and the end of the first Atlantic cable
was ashore before the Evening Post
was issued the next day. The public
did not restrain its joy or obey Mr..
Bryant's mandate to greet the fabulous
news in silence. In Stockbridge, where
Mr.. Fields family was. on the receipt
of the news, bells were rung, guns
fired; children let out of school shouted.
The cable is laid, The cable is laidv
The village was in a tumult of Joy"
But not until the 18th of August did the
real celebration begin, for the first mes
sage, from Queen Victoria to President
Buchanan, did not arrive until then.
This was a signal for New York to out
do the joy of the Stockbr1dge school
children. The church bells rang, facto-
ries blew their whistles, the river front
was Illuminated by fireworks and bon
fires. the Everett House displaying no
less than 1000 lights: there were trans
parencies everywhere. and finally the
city hall capped the climax by catching
fire. There was great procession, too,
headed by the Central Park police, and
including LOO laborers and 800 carts
from lne Fdrk ana CrOIOn reservoir.
then in process of construction, all led
by MesSrs. OlmStead Warning Miller
and Grant Altogether. the procession
was three miles in length, and was
properly reviewed at the city hall by
Mayor Tiemann. AS 1t passed the
Manhattan hotel, a Waldorf Astoria of
the day, its members read this sign:

WHY is SNOW ANYWAY?

The encyclopedia tells one that snow is
this: THE aggregations of minute spic-
ules of ice into which the excess OF va
por in the atmosphere is condensed when
the temperature is at or below the freez-
ing point Of water.
Now the number of minute splcules of
ice contained IN the snow that fell yes
terday is quite beyond human calcula-
ton; some one who hasn't anything bet
ter to occupy his time might count the
flakes in a cubic inch and arrive at some
sort of figure but probably there will
be no one ambitious enough to do this.
Approximately, Salt Lake is credited
with having seVenty-two square miles,
q SIS 400 square feet in every square mile,
and 4OI4 4S9 600 square inches. Multiply
this by eighteen, the depth of the snow
