swordsmanship Against a ria.r.

Sir James Outram, known as the
Bayard Of India, was a mighty hunt

He once performed the hazardous feat
OF killing tiger with his sword and
from the back of his horse General
Nicholson performed a similar feat.
He rode round and round the tiger Mt a
gallop. gradually narrowing the circle
until at last he was near enough to de

Animals That Arc Always Enemies.

animals Inat Arc Always EnOWISs'
Many animals are born with an in
herent antipathy for other animals
The excessive fear shown by young
rabbits which for the first time smell a
ferret and of young turkeys which
hear the shrill cry of hawk they
have never heard or seen before are
proved examples Of the strength of
these instructive antipathies. But the
case of the weasel and rat is, perhaps,
more to be noticed because Of the
greater equality Of the antagonists.
The feud is so bitter that meeting he
tween them almost certainly means
death to one or both. Friendships are
not uncommon between the cat and dog
and have been known between a dog
and wolf, but the mutual attitude of
the weasel and rat is invariably war
war that is waged to the death.

BURIAL IN ABBEY OPPOSED
Body Of Religious Outlaw" in It's Precincts-Body to to Lie in State in Army Hall.

London, Aug. 22.-Thousands of tele- grams of sympathy In the loss of their leader, Gen. William Booth were re- ceived by the Salvation Army heads Several rulers of nations and scores of men and women world-famous in many different lines expressed their grief at the Generals death and their appreciation of his greatness.
 General Booth died at his home at Hadley Wood, near London.
 That the Generals son and chief of staff, Bramwell Booth, will succeed hs father, Salvationists considered a fore gone conclusion. The will in which the dead commander many years ago told his lawyers he had named the individual to whom he wished to be- queath his baton, will be opened soon, as it is important that the break in the Army's leadership be made as brief as possible.
 The son, however, is already ad- dressed by the members of his fath- CTS staff as their chief" so sure are they that the late General will be found to have named him for the post
 Arrangements are being made for the removal of Gen Booths body to the Salvation Army Congress Hall. in the London district of Clapton, where it will lie in state for a week before burial, presumably by his wife at Alb ney Park, Stoke Newington.

The paper is now published in more than 20 languages. and has total weekly circulation ex- ceeding 100000 The Army main tains about 700 social relief institu- tions in various parts of the world, under the charge of nearly 5000 of ficers and employees.

Started as a Minister.

His wife, whom he married in 1882 is a native of Plymouth, England She is commissioner and leader of womens Great Britain.
 Rev. William Booth, founder and head of the Salvation Army, was born at Nottingham, April 10, 1929, and edu. cated at private school in that town. He studied theology with Rev Will liam Cooke, D. D, became a minister of the Methodist New Connexion in 1850, and was appointed mostly to hold special evangelistic services, to which he felt so strongly drawn that when the conference of 1861 required him to settle in the ordinary circuit work he resigned and began his labors as an evangelist among the churches wher- ever he had an opportunity. Coming in this capacity to the East End of London he observed that the vast ma jority of the people attended no place of worship, and started The Christian Mission" in July 1865. To this mission when it had become a large organiza- tion, formed upon military lines, he gave in 1878 the name of "The Saliva tion Army" under which it soon be- came widely known, and grew rapidly The Army was organized in 49 coun- tries and colones. and from the inter national headquarters in Victoria street, London, General Booth directed it's affairs.

 Leaves Small Estate.
 General Booth left hardly any per sonal estate Vast sums were contrib uted to him or earned by him through his writings, but they went toward the support and upbuilding of the Army His death was directly due to septic poisoning and the shock of the opera tion for the removal of a cataract from his left eye. but his physician said that he really succumbed to old age and the wear and tear of long life time of incessant work.
 It is understood that the day he died a cable message was received express ing the love and sympathy of his son, Ballington Booth, from whom he had been estranged 16 years, but the Gen. eral was unconscious when it arrived and died without knowing of his sons S overture toward a reconciliation
 New Leader is Popular.
 Bramwell Booth, is 56 years of age, is General Booths eldest son. Born at Halifax, England, he grew up in the Salvation Army and devotion to it's in- terests is second nature to him Though without his fathers fire, mag netism and marvellous eloquence, he is a man of common sense and is an eff cient executive. He worked his way up through the Salvation Army ranks, toiling with his hands like the hum blest recruit early in his career, until he reached the rank of Chief of Staff in 1880. He is widely travelled, well educated and popular with the Salva- tioniSts.

DELAWARE SHAD

PHILADELPHIA, April 5-The lus-
cious Delaware shad. which will soon
be coming up the river will not only
have a fishy but an oily-a coal oily
flavor, according to the reports of
the old-time fishermen.
The matter was the choice topic of
gossip among meters and fishermen
occupying the dingy fish cabins along
the Delaware shore from Greenwich
piers past Gloucester to the Break
water. New interest was added to the
discussion because shad from the
Southland coast predominant in the
market at this time.
Squatters Frightening up their
cabins near Greenwich piers with
whitcwash paused long enough to say
that the odor Of coal oil came from
shad last year regardless Of what
scientists or fish culturists say to the
contrary and they are equally certain
that the odOr will be more evident this
season.
Big Isaac Martin, one OF the old
est netters on the west Delaware
shore, declared that "of course there's
been an odor of coal oil from shad.
Many of our buyers said so last year
They knew it when they cooked them
'Taint no use to deny it, because my
wife knows the odor was there. why
