70 KILL TWO MILLION CATS
MIR. BRYAN's woozLE BEASTS.
Tigers Presented to Him in Japan
Puzzle His Visitors.

Pilgrims to the shrine of Organism
or, more prosaically, visitors to Fair
view, at Lincoln, Mr.. Bryan's man
sion and farm, have had their curos-
itv excited by two woozle-beasts,
one perched on each side OF the
house.
In face and figure these additions
to the political zoo-for they VIII
unquestionably join the elephant,
donkey, tiger and goat in campaign
symbolism-sugges cross between
a horned toad frog and bull dog,
with mild suggestion of a throw
back to a ella monster.
Lincoln citizens are unanimous IN
asserting that Mr.. Bryan has not de-
serted the bronze standard and con-
sequently scout the idea that these
ornaments are fettishes. But LIN
coin is not ready to admit them as
mascots, a strong minority classify
ing them as hoOdoos.
incidentally one is referred 10 as
1904 and the other 1908.

BLACKSMITH AGAIN MAYOR
Fashionable New York Suburb Gave
Him an Overwhelming Major
ity for Third Term.

Honest jim" Reilly, the village
blacksmith of North Pelham, one of
New York's most popular suburbs,
has been reelected mayor of the
town for the third time by the lar
gest majority he has ever received.
The women and children of the vii
Iage made an enthusiastic campaign
in his favor, the reason for their ac-
tivity being that Reilly rid the VII
lage of toughs who formerly congre-
gated on the street corners and made
insulting remarks to women. They
met every train in North Pelham on
election day, and no commuter es-
caped them before he had been to
the polls and cast his vote. When
the result was announced a great
crowd of people, including many wo-
men and girls, marched to the
smithy and cheered him to the echo.
When Reilly was first elected the
town was heavily in debt. He has
paid off every cent of it, and there is
a snug balance in the treasury He
refused to announce platform or
make any promises. Aristocratic
Pelham has been inclined to scott at
the unlettered blacksmith, but his
sterling honesty, force of character
and executive ability have been so
clearly demonstrated that many of
the wealthy residents lined up for
him at the polls. His political sue
cess has made no change in the black
smith. He works at his anvil every
day.

A shipment of four Orphington
chickens was billed to Nine. Ignance

$500.
The chickens were boxed in a crate
lust as ordinary chickens are ship

full value. The shipment was to
have been made Feb. l, and several
letters protesting against the delay
have been sent by the wife of the
great pianist, but until Tuesday it was
impossible to have the insurance sat
isfactory fixed.
Lady Helen, Victoria and Crystel-

chickens shipped. Mr.. Kellar-
Strauss refused an offer of $4,000
made by Madame Paderewski for an
other chicken.

FROM JAIL TO CONGRESS.
That May Be the Experience of Ken
tucky's Noted Prisoner.

There is a prospect that Caleb
Powers will shortly be pardoned by
the republican governor of Ken
lucky, and that son after his re-
lease from prison he will announce
his candidacy for congress from the
Eleventh district The republican
members of the Kentucky legislature
are bringing pressure to bear upon
the governor in favor of pardon for
Powers, and the allegation is that he
could carry his district. To have a
man in congress who had been sew
eral times convicted in a murder
trial would be something OF nov
city.

NATIVES DEFY BRlTONS.
Conditions in India Said to Be Most
Serious,

Boston, Feb. 2S.-The officers of the
German steamer Neuenfelds, which
arrived here from India and Ceylon,
report that the natives are openly
defyin2 the British: They have boy
cotted British goods and have refused
to handle cargoes shipped by the
british merchants. In, the interior
they are ON the verge of revolt and in
many places they are aiming and pre-
pairing to combat British rule
ASitators are largely responsible
for the present conditions. They are
melting the natives to acts Of violence.
They believe the japanese will aid
them if they engage in war with Eng
land and they declare they Will be
victorious. In the larger cities the
feeling against the British in general
has taken the form of boycott and
commerce is greatly hampered.
The Neuenfelds was delayed sixty
four days at Calcutta waiting for her
cargo The natives refused to WORK
on the freighter and it was weeks be-
fore a gang of loneshoremen could be
got together who would load the ship,
Calcutta harbor at the time was filled
with British steamers unable to ge
