ture while he was in Chicago for the
Republican convention last week Sc
zell's on exhibition at one of the gal
leries there. Mr. Reid is an enthu-
siastic admirer of Mr.. Wenzells work
and regards him as among the fore
most of the younger American artists.

LAUDS AMERICAN WOMEN.
English Woman Says the Type
Has IndividuaIity-Prefers
Them to the Men.

NEW YORK, May 14-Before her de-
parture for England with her husband,
the M%archioness of Headfort, who has
been in America for several weeks, dis
cussed International marriages and
American society, She said:
81 like American women better than
American men. / was %astonished to go
TO a luncheon where there were only
women. In England we always have
men to talk to three times a day. But
L found it was rather CHEEKY being with
women. and. of course, the women here
are so refreshing and different. The
type has an Individuality that explains
the success of American women in for
eign society.
Il believe the Americans do not care
to see their heiresses marry foreigners,
but isn't that a bit selfish? America has
lots of money and ear easily spare the
millions. The children Of these unions
seem a high type physically and intel
~lectually, and one should work a bit for
posterity.'

RIGHT UNDER THE

Walnut Street Resident Tells
Story of Bold Armed
%Highwayman.

James A. Tories, of 81 Walnut
street, is bordering over the wild west
ern hold-up in which he figured at
Court and High streets. The First
Precinct police are also wondering how
such an affair could occur within a
few blocks of the station house.
According to Tories, he was passing
along Court street when at High street
a revolver was suddenly pressed
against his head by a man who
stepped from the shadow of a tree,
Tories all but dropped in his tracks
from fright, but obeyed the highway
mans command to throw up his hands.
Then his pockets were searched, but
We're empty.
Nov you stand where you are for
three minutes without moving was
the next order the highwayman gave
with a threatening wave of his gun.
Tories obeyed and when he awoke TO
action the man was gone. Then he
hot-footed it TO the station house and
told Sergeant Caffrey all about it.

FmREEHOLDERS CUT
COUNTY ENG|NEERS
SHARP REPORT
Refuse TO Stand for His Refer
ence to Cleaning Dirty
Linen"

BY unanimous vote the Board Of
Frceholders has sustained the resolu-
ton of Freebooter Mcbride thai the
latter part of the summary of the re-
port of the county engineer, George f.
Drum, be stricken from the minutes.
after a number of attempts had been
made privately to have Mr.. Drum
eliminate the Objectionable features of
the report before it was submitted to
the board. The part stricken out was
that in which the county engineer re-
minds the freeholders that you have
cleaned a lot of dirty linen in the near
past, but this is clean and out on the
line to dry
He was referring to the money owed
him by the county for extra work on
county roads and at Overbrook and
Soho, amounting to $500.
The portion of the report in which
the county engineer states that his
work on the county roads had met with
considerable opposition from certain
sources was allowed to remain, and the
whole matter might have got through
except for County Auditor Edward l..
Conklin, who turned over to the last
page and read the "dirty-linen" por-
ton of the report.
The freeholders before the meeting
pleaded with Mr.. Drum to let the mat
ter drop, as it was ~undisnified, but he
refused. 1T may be u%ndignihed. but
want the money l have expended for
the county"

BOY-SLAYER OF
SALOON-KEEPER
ESCAPES CHAIR
John Lukaczeviczius, Guilty in
Second Degree, May Get
Thirty Years.
COLLAPSES WHEN JURY'S
VERDICT is ANNOUNCED
Quick to Lose Nerve When He
Realizes Gravity of His
Situation.

With a long term of Imprisonment
staring him in the face, 17-year-old
John Lukaczeviczius, who killed
Michael Miszkuvas, lost his nerve
when the jury came into the Court of
Oyer and Terminer and convicted him
of murder'in the second degree. The
extreme penalty is thirty years in
State prison.
During the two-hour elaboration of
the twelve men last night he had
maintained the same stolid front that
had characterized him at the trial and
with the utmost Indifference apparent
~ as to his fate. pulled away at his
cigarette and occasionally said a word
or two in his native Lithuanian to a
friend.
When the jury filed in. however, and
Foreman William e. Edwards an
nounced the verdict. which was inter-
preted to him. he became deathly pale
and collapsed.
The trial was another of the shortest
CT its kind that has been held before
Judge Ten Eyck.
Miszkuvas was slain and robbed in
st. Georges Hall. 1S0-1S2 New York
avenue, foul days after last Christ
mas, $36S,71 having been taken from
him.
Crazy drunk, or "crazy head as
the prisoner himself put it, was the
defense offered by John A. Bernhard
1t is likely the prisoner will be SEN
fenced tomorrow or Saturday.

GREATEST SHOWS
ANIMALS KEEN
SENSE OF HUM0R
Strange Sights Seen in Great
Menagerie of Barnum &
Bailey.

Have animals a sense of humor. is a
question frequently discussed. The
writer had an opportunity of satisfying
his own mind upon his subject by
passing a Sunday afternoon in the
menagerie department of the Barnum
& Bailey circus. Sunday is bath-day
for the animals. a day of general de-
light to all, excepting the carnivorous
beasts. who for hygienic reasons are
never fed on Sundays.
On this day the monkey cages be-
come the centre of interest and furnish
a wealth of evidence as to the humor-
GUS instincts of monkeys, whose many
tricks have become proverbial. There
was a large p which resorted to
stratagem &c enjoy a grim joke. Pass
ing it's hand behind the back of its
friend" it vigorously tweaked the tail
of a third. The latter Immediately
vented it's anger and resentment or
it's nearest neighbor, much to the de-
light of the real culprit.
There were several monkeys belong.
ing to the troupe of trained monkeys;
these were allowed the freedom of the
canvas. Two of them were sitting or
the edge of a great tub of water. A
mischievous spider monkey sneaked
quietly up behind n pushed both into
the tub of water. There was a terrible
struggle, while the spider looked on
and really seemed to laugh. However,
the laugh was against him, for the two
involuntary bathers after a chase gave
him his due.
Rather a pathetic story is told of an
interesting ape, whose delight was the
friendship of the head keeper of the
simian family. The keeper never
passed the apes cage without a hand
shake and a friendly chat, until one
day. he keeper too engrossed, with the
duties and care of a new consignment
of monkeys, overlooked the Door ape.
The ape grieved and sulked, and
when the keeper went again to his
cage, turned in savage Jealousy from
him. The human friend was absolute
ly refused all recognition thereafter by
his humble admirer. The health of the
sulking, sorrowing ape began to de-
cline and it fell a victim of
ton.
When the end was obviously at hand
the keeper went to the cage. The ape
seemed to brighten at his approach,
creeping feebly to the front of his cage.
It's little hand was thrust out for a
grasp of reconciliation and Forgive
ness. i
Next to monkeys elephants are the
most mischievous. The tricks and
pranks they play upon their keepers
are legion, and the source of much
merriment among the animal men.
The geological collection of the
Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth. which will give two exhibitions
here on Monday. is said to contain
more rare and costly wild animals than
any known collection in the world.
There are five herds of elephants, four
droves of canels. four CRATES and
numberless cages of lions, tigers. Loop
ards, bears and other wonders of the
wilds, most of which win be exhibited
free to the public during the street
parade of the circus on the morning of
show day.

A LBERT A. DOERR, an enthusi-
"a astic young member of the
Humane Society. who lives at
80 Garside street, Newark, is helping
the cause along in every way he can
and believes in doing The little helpful
things as we'll as the great big ones,
In the letter quoted below he tells US
how he helped a dog out of his predica-
ment and also says a few things about
his pet cat. Here is the letter:
"a neighbours dog was trying to get
into our yard a short time ago. lie
got his head under the fence and
couldn't get it out again, so l went and
got a long stick and put it under the
fence near his head and lifted 1t up as
hard as l could and he got his head out
all right. He was so thankful that he
jumped around and wagged his tail,
and tried to jump yer the fence to my
yard.
II would like to say a few words to
you about our cat. Her name is Min
ME. We got her about two years ago
and hardly knew what a mouse looks
like now. We can place a piece of
meat or a saucer of milk on the table,
and if Icall Minnie she will jump UP
on the chair and put her fore feet on
the table and eat it.
IT will always try to be kind to dumb
animals. ALBERT A, DOERR."
