THE WEST POINT CHAIN.

It Was Nearly a Mile Tn Length and
 Weighed Almost POO Tons.
 From an ironmaker's point of view the greatest achievement during the Revolutionary period was the making of the great West Point chain. This massive chain, which has probably never had an equal since the first ham, mer struck upon the first anvil. was stretched across the Hudson river at West Point to prevent the British fleet from making c second attack upon Kingston and Albany. It was nearly a mile in length and weighed almost 200 tons. many single links being as heavy as an ordinary sized man. To complete 1t in six weeks sixty men hammered day and night at seventeen forges, and the cost of it was placed at s400,000. ''The great chain is buoy ed up," writes Dr. Tacher. ''by very large logs. pointed at the ends to less en their opposition to the force of the current. The logs are placed at short distances from each other, the chain carried over them and made fast to each by staples. There are also a number of anchors dropped at proper distances. with cables made fast to the chain, to give it greater stability. D No British ship passed this iron bar rier. wirh it's aid West Point became the strongest military post in America 50 strong that treachery was tried where force of arms had failed. When Benedict Arnold was plotting the sur render of West Point be wrote Andre and said. ''I have ordered that q link be removed from the great chain and taken to the smith for repair" The chain, however. remained in place till the end of the war, and links of it are still to be seen in the museums of Al bany.

DRAWS 4 ACES; DROPS DEAD
Poker Player is Overcome by the Es
 citement of Small Ganfe.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 1.-Sight of four aces, dealt to aim in a poker game, killed Thomas Sachs at mid. night last night. He toppled off his chair as his thumb and forefinger raised the fourth bullet and his heart action stopped.
 There wasn't such a big pot on the table either. Sachs, who was a la borer on the Belt Line Railway build, ing in Newburg, the steel mill suburb oR Cleveland. joined his fellows in a bunkhouse on the works in a nights indulgence in the American game. into the mysteries of which he had been initiated some years before.
 Sachs, who was 5 years old, had been warned by physician to be ware of excitement, as he had weak heart. He thought, however, that he could stand a quarter limit game without danger, even when it came to round of jack pots which had been well sweetened
 The strain became too great, how- ever, when Sacls saw S3.75 in the pot and the aces coming into his hand, one after another. Several weeks ago Sachs cut out the strenuous amusements popular at the camp, such as drinking bouts and fistic en-

OSTRICHES ATTACKED
 KEEPERS
Immense Birds Are Thrown h. to Panic By Railroad AcCi- dent--Were En Route From Phoenix to Long Beach.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. LA few days ago carload of Arizona ostriches left Phoenix tor Long Beach, where an os- trich show farm has been opened. The big birds and their keepers certainly had an exciting trip, judging from the following dispatch which appeared re- gently in a Los Angeles paper under long Beach date:
 Paul Ussher, secretary of the Long Beach Ostrich Farm company, arrived this morning with palace stock car containing a consignment of thirty ostriehes for the Long Beach farm
 Mir. Ussher and two keepers had a most exciting trip with the birds From Phoenix. AriZ., and count among thelr experiences a railroad collision in which the car barely escaped de- struction, a fire aboard the car and a narrow escape from serious injury from the stampeding of the birds dur- ing the excitement attending the col. ision.
 The accident occureed between Yuma and Maricopa, the car just ahead of the ostrich car being smash ed to splinters, and the fostriches kickinig down the partition by when they were confined and rushing about the car capsized the stove, setting fire to the car. The keepers made desperate attempts to quiet their charges with the result that the men were driven into corner and were in imminent dangeeES of being kicked.

UNITED DEMAND FOR
 LOWERING OF RENTS
Lack of Employment Pinches
 New York East Side,

NEW YORK, Jan. IA systematic campaign Tor lower rents by the thousands of tenants of the lower East Side began to show material re. suits today, when many landlords an. nounced that they were to make a re. duction. Some of the landlords are offering 6 compromise proposition, but many tenants are holding out for a material reduction.
 The rapidly increasing numbers ol men and women out of work added to the argument which the tenants are advancing, for a new rent scale. The United Hebrew Charities Asso- ciation tonight announced 1t would send out money tomorrow to aid in a measure the army of unemployed people to pay rents.
 It is stated at the headquarters ot the tenants organization that six hundred big tenement houses are al ready organized to demand lower rents when the rent collectors vab. As there are from twenty to thirty families to tenement and five per, sons on an average to a family, 1t means that landlords already have over 77,000 people to contend with. Several labor organizations have in. dicated tneir intention Of aiding the tenants.

THE PENGUIN.

comiesIIy Serious In Mating = is=
 Wicked FIippsrs.
 It is probable that penguins pair for life, although nothing definite is known on the subject When mates are che sen the process is as interesting as 1t is striking. As is the case with so many crea eatures. the males fight with each other for the females, might being right in the penguin code. The birds have regular fighting places. and one such battle-ground was found under an oVerhanging ledge. The results of innumerable encounters were present in the shape of great quantities ot loose feathers surrounding the little fighting ring, which itself was clear of all debris. Although the beak of pen guin is so formidable a weapon wheu used on thin skinned enemies. yet their own skin and blubber are so resistant that they can intiict no injury by this means. The customary mode of fight ing is really kind of boxing, or Hip pering," 1t might be called The two combatants proceed to the fighting place and then walk cautiously about each other. jockeying for an opening and ready to take instant advantage of false step or meye on the part of the opponent. All, however. is solemn and dscorous, consistent with the rest of ths life of these strange little beings.
 When at last each secures a good grip on the neck or body of the oppo- nsnt the real fighting begins As nine tenths ef the life sf penguins is spent sn the open sea, where they pursue and capture Ash. swimming ~ith great swiftnsss by strokes sf the nipperlike wings. it can well bs imagined that the strength of their wings is very great, and when the two fighters bsgin to beisbor each other with rapidly vi brating nipper strokes each resoundinK whsck must make a considerable im- pression even on the protecting coat of blubbsr fat. No enc has ever recorded the finish of such an encounter, but it is net probable that they result fatally. The weaker of the two must soon sue cumb under such severe punishment and yield the field and the fair penguin mate to his stronger rival The strength of the wing strokes can be tested by allowing penguin to take hold of ones coat sleeves or, better, the back of the hand. The third CT fourth stroke will draw blood, and one is soon fully satisfied as to the pen guin's ability in this respect The tough skin and the loose, rolling biub- Der beneath, besides breaking fall and protecting the bird from the icy waters in which it lives, sometimes subserve another most important pur- pose.-New York Tribune.

SAFE-CRACKERS
 ARE AT WORK
 IN PHOENIX
Attempts Made By Nitro
 Giycerine Artists-0ne Pro- yes Successful, But They
 Fail In Second Venture.

PHOENIX, Jan. Ssfecrackers succeeded in their attempt to rob the safe of the Evans Plumbing company at 19 West Adams. but failed when they attacked the safe of the Arizona Laundry company at the corner of Adams and Third streets last night
 At the Evans establishedment. cut lery to the value of, between s150 and $175 was taken, together with the in- ner part of the safe, which contained s3 in money and valuable papers.
 By breaking the glass in a rear door the burglars reached in and removed an iron bolt, opening the door, and walking to the safe. Whether or not it was locked is not known positively, but it is believed that the day combna- tion was on.
 Opening the safe the burglars did not attempt to open the doors of the compartments, but with jimmeys re- moved the interior, in which there are two drawers, one of the containing the money and the other papers.
 Evans was unable to state today just what the papers are that were taken. nor has he been able to give the officers much if any assistance. He has offered reward of $25 for the capture of the burglars. He states that about 130 pieces Of cutlery. most ly pocket knives, were stolen.
 At the Arizona Laundry all that has been missed is box of candy When the place was opened this morning it was found that an attempt had been made to blow the safe open with nitro glycerine.
 A small hole was bored near the com btnation and blanket placed over the safe. The explosion was strong enough to destroy the combination apparatus, but did not move the door. The count CT drawer, which contained nothing, was found on the flor.
 Three windows were found open this morning. which explains the means of getting out of the building. How they got in is not known. The explosion did little damage, except to the ap- paratus of the safe. Fuse and a bot tie that had contaned nitro-glycerine, were found near the safe this morning.
 By some it is believed tn same burglars commitd the two robberies, but this Evans stated this afternoon, he did not believe. Evans has a re- mote and unsupported suspicion. The cf1cers are working. on the case.

Scene from "A Square Deal" Coming at the Grand

overthrow France): Rogers executes
 Rockefeller is strong only from the eyes up. Rogers, from the chin up
 Rockefeller has no chin. No man ever mastered men unless he possessed a square chin and steel jaws. Rogers pos esses the chin and jaws of pirate of the Spanish main. When "The Lion and the Mouse" was produced at the Lyce- um theatre, in New York, on the first night, three years ago, every Wall street man in the audience said, at the end of the first scene between Shirley Rossmore and Ryder: Ryder Is Rog- ers" Surely he is. Imagine poor. old Rockefeller consuming big, black c
 gars and talking to his wife, son. Shir- ley, and all his dependents as if they were his slaves. No, John D. is a gen tie creature. He is the spiritual brother of the late Russell Sage. Neither would harm a worm. Rogers would wipe out anybody or anything that dared oppose him He Is only apparently changed in to mild creature at the end of the play. On the morrow, at the famous 26 Broadway, the home of the greatest monopoly on earth, you may be sure that he will be Simon Legree again
 This Ryder of ''The Lion and the Mouse" is wonderful study, looked at from any point of view. All the ac- tors that have played him have made good in the part, It Is what Is tech nically known as "an actor proof part" a part in which no actor worthy of the name can fail Should Charles. Klein ever repeat the success of this play, he will be among the dramatic immortals
