A PAIR OF FUNNY TOADS. Masquerading in Each Other’s Cast-off Skins. A dispatch from Harrisburg, Pa., to the jjf.w York Times says: ' *No one knows the funny things toads will do,' 1 said the Hon. ,hunes A. Sweeney, a Luzerne county nat uralist and ex-member of the Pennsylvania Legislature. “On a recent cloudy day, after a hard rein, there was a cool breeze blow ing. 1 was walking in a friend’s garden ) J( "ir Hazleton when I heard a peculiar sound. Looking in the direction from which it came, I saw two toads in an open snaeo in the garden. One was quite large, and the other was at least a tmrd smaller. They were both standing on their him! feet, facing each other. The large toad had its fore leet over on each side of the smaller toad’s shoulders; the small toad his lei i, tore foot on the large one’s right leg. As they stood in that way they uttered strange guttural sounds, as if they were dis i listing some subject among tlwmselves. {suddenly the small toad thrusts- its right foot, or hand, you might call it. against the i;:,' c one's stomach, and the next instant the latter threw the former to the ground ami a lively wrestle between them began. •‘During the struggle on the ground the skins of both toads burst open on the back, ami l supposed 1 was about to see the inter esting process of toads taking off their old coats,’rolling them up in little balls, and allowing them, as naturalists say they do. j did witness the process of shedding the skms, but something much more singular than the swallowing incident then occurred. The day was raw and windy, as 1 said, and niter the toads had rubbed their skins in a comical Way toward their heads until they had both pulled themselves clear of them puck one began to shiver very per ceptibly with the cold. Sud denly the small toad hopped quickly to where the skin of the big one lay, and pick ing it up in his mouth hopped away several leet. The big toad follow ed the purloiner oi his cast off clothing with his eyes, and gave two or t hree appealing croaks, but mad* no effort to recapture the stolen goods. When the small toad saw that he was not followed he deliberately set to work to don the skin he had taken. It took him some time to do it, but he finally accom plished his purpose and went masquerading around in tlie misfit garment exactly like a clown in a circus wearing the big baggy costume some of them appear in. "The little fellow seemed to enjoy the novelty of the situation and hopped around the large toad in what must have been a most tantalizing manner. The big toad was shivering like a person chilled through, and by and by picked up the skin of the small one and began to force it on his body. The process was a difficult one, but after several minutes of unceasing effort he stood habili tated in the cast-off garments of his dimin utive companion. If the effect, of the big skin on the little toad had been comical, that of the little skin on the big toad was more so. The sleeves of the coat, so to siieak, only came half way down the arm, and the legs of the trousers covered the toad’s legs as though been knickerbockers. The body of the gar ment was so tight that the toad could not work either bis legs or his arms, and he stood there the picture of comical despair. By and by he began to swell himself up, and that apparently stretched the skin, for he was able afterward to move away slowly. He followed the small toad into the bushes in.a dignified manner and both disappeared. What the outcome of this curious exchange of clothing was I never knew, but the inci dent satisfied me that toads do funny things sometimes.” THE GOVERNMENT CAN BE SUED. A Great Change Made in the Law to That Effect. From the Baltimore American. Mr. Thomas G. Hayes, United States Dis trict Attorney, yesterday called the‘at tention of an American reporter to an act of Congress, passed at the close of the last session, which has never been specially brought to the attention of the public, but which is of great importance. It is a radical departure from the time-honored rule that a sovereign power or State can not bo sued by an individual, since it gives the light to any citizen to sue the general government, and is a privilege granted by no State in the Union to-day. Not only that, but the citizen can sue at his own home, instead of at Washington. By an act of Congress approved March 3, 1887, entitled “An act to provide for the bringing of suits against the government of the United States," it is proviued (1) that the Court of Claims shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine all claims founded upon the constitution or any law of Congress, except for pensions, or upon any regulation of an executive department, or upon any contract, expressed or implied, with the government, or for damages, liquidated or unliquidated, in cases not sounding in tort, in respect to which claims the party would be entitled to redress against the United States either in a court of law, equity or admiralty, if the U nited States were suable; provided, however, that nothing in his section shall be construed as giving to either of the courts herein mentioned jurisdiction to hear and deter mine claims growing out of the late civil war, and commonly known as “war claims,” or to hear and determine other claims which have heretefore been rejected or re ported adversely upon by any court, department or commission authorized to hem- and determine the same. All set-offs, o miiter-claims, claims for damages, whether liquidated, or unliquidated,or other demands on the part of the government against any claimant against the government, shall be heard in this court, provided that no suit against the government shall tie allowed under this act unless the same shall have been brought within six years after the right accrued for which the claims are made. The District Court of the United States shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the Court of Claims as to all matters named in the preceding section, where the amount of the claim does not exceed 81,000, and the Circuit Courts of the United States shall have concurrent jurisdiction in all eases where the amount of such claim ex ceeds #I,OOO and does not exceed #IO,OOO. All cases brought and tried under the provisions of this act shall bo tried by the Court without a jury.” Heretofore, in all disputed claims against the government, the citizen was obliged to file a claim in the Court of Claims at Washington, and there await the tardy action of that court, necessarily tardy on account of business constantly accumulat ing on its hands. According to the law- as it now stands, John Smith can enter suit “gainst the Uni Us i States just the same as lie would n suit against John Jones, either in the District or Circuit Court of the United States in the district of which heisacitizen, and according to the amount of his claim— mat is to say, if within SI,OOO, in the District Court; or, if upwards of #I,OOO and uuder #IO,OOO, in the Circuit Court of the United States. ATTACKED BY A SWORD FISH. The Sea Monstor’s "Nose" Driven Through a Vessel’s Bottom. FYom the Philculelphia Record. The “nose” of a sword fish four feet long, driven through sixteen inches of stout Nor wegian pine anti penetrating ten inches into ; fic cargo of a sugar laden bark, was one of I”’ nautical curiosities presented to a won i'Ting throng of sailors and landsmen at the w harves of the E. C. Knight Sugar Refinery ii this city yesterday. The vessel through ihe hull of which tins sea monster's weapon wd peuetrab-d is the bark Omen, which lame to this port from Santos, Brazil, by “ny of the Barhadoes. The bark is a stunchly Mult Norwegian craft and the planks in her “till are even harder than American oak. *’ "fie the cargo of sugar was being un loaded at the refinery wnarf a long black “I'lect,, like the point of an enormous bayo- Q ct, waa discovered thrust ten inches into °ue of the hogsheads of sugar, so firmly un- paling it that some difficulty was experi enced it getting tho hogshead from tlio ves sel’s bottom. The end of the sword looked like a largo raarlinspike and all attempts to dislodge it wero fruitless. A close examina tion, however, proved that tho object was tbe “sword” of a sword fish which had been driven through the planking of the bark’s hull. The point of the "sword” which pro jected into the vessel’s hold was as hard as (lint. The only weapon which mado any impression upon it was an axe, with which the end was finally broken off and taken on deck, where it was exhibited to the sailors and the stevedores. From the accounts of tho crew and the bal k’s officers it seems that the fish must have struck the vessel near the region of the equatorial ealtn. Tho mate says that while the bark was moving along very slowly, with scarcely a ripple disturbing the sur face of the ocean, one calm day in May, a terrific shock was experienced which almost threw the vessel aback and burled some of the crew off their feet. The incident caused considerable excitement on board and it was feared that a hidden rock had been struck, until the Captain looked over the starboard quarter, whence the shock ap peared to have come, and saw an enormous fish just disappearing beneath the waves. T util the “sword” was discovered yesterday it was supposed that the bark had struck a dead or sleeping whale. This instance of the force with which the sword fish can strike an object is one of tbe most remarkable ever reported. A speci men of planking which has been deposited iu the British Museum in London as a great curiosity shows the sword of one of these fish, three feet long, which had pierced ton inches of wod. The sword found in the Ortio.i had evidently been driven with al most twice the force with which the speci men in th., British Museum had been im pelled. TANTRUM OF A FEMALE LAWYER. She Denounces a Reportor in a Chi cago Court Room—The Boodle Trial. A dispatch from Chicago to tho New York Tribune says: The selection of a jury to try tbe boodle case is drawing to a closo—not from any apparent desire on the part of the defendants to hurry tho proceedings, but from their inability to prolong the struggle. They are fast drawing to the end of their peremptory challenges; and once they are exhausted it will not take long to find men who. iu the eyes of tho law, are competent to try the defendants. The exciting incident of to-day occurred just after the jurors had been taken from the court-room. Miss Kato Kane, the female lawyer, one of the counsel for the condemned Anarchists rushed Jjstfifie the railing in a highly excited and ap proaching George Bell, The Tribune re porter, exclaimed: “You had better be careful before you write any more about me. You are noth ing but a dirty, miserable whelp, and if you ever write another word about me I will mark your face for you. ” Then Miss Kane squared off, as if she meant to oat up Mr. Bell then and there. Mr. Bell, who is six feet and two inches, sat there reading a paper and did not venture to look up. Miss Kane had not done, how ever. She hissed out a few more cutting phrases. “I would be scandalized and held up to contempt by you—” Miss Kane had got thus far when Judge Jamieson put one hand on the desk in front of him and said: “This discussion must end, Miss Kane; we can’t have it here. ” “I thought court was adjourned, your honor," exclaimed the lady. “But I don’t pro|iii.se to be ridiculed and scandalized by such a low, contemptible thing as that,” and she pointed to the repoiter. “Stop it, right there,” yelled Judge Jamie son. Miss Kate weighs a good deal, and it was a matter of speculation how it would have ended had tbe lady “let out her right” and used her parasol vigorously. The news paper man was the first to go, however; but Miss Kano was after him. She follow ed him into tho elevator and down the street, threatening to mar his lieauty for life if he mentioned her name again. DARING MISS PARKER. She Swims Into Raritan Bay and Res cues a Drowning Woman. A dispatch from Newark, N. J., to the Philadelphia Press says; Miss Fannie Parker, daughter of Cortlandt Parker, of this city, and a prominent leader in society, performed a daring feat at Perth Amboy yesterday afternoon which nearly cost her life. The family have a cottage at Perth Amboy, and about 4 o'clock Mias Parker, accompanied by her sister-in-law, Mrs. R. Wayne Parker, went to the shore to bathe. Thev had scarcely reached their bath house when they were startled by calls for help from Raritan Bay. Mias Parker saw a woman struggling in the water about thirty feet from the shore. Miss Parker, who is an accomplished swimmer, ran toward the water, and before her companion was aware of her intention the intrepid young lady sprang to the rescue of the drowning woman. Robed as she was, in her walking costume, Miss Parker’s progress was some what retarded, yet in a remarkably short space of time she reached the side of the struggling woman, who proved to be Han nah Dugan, a cook, employed at the cottage of Theodore Mercer, of Newark. The woman clasped Miss Parker around the neck and both sank. By a desperate struggle Miss Parker reached the surface again and exclaimed: “Don’t hold me by the neck or we will botli drown.” The woman then seized Miss Parker by the waist and the latter swam to within a few yards of the shore, when she was met by a man in a boat. Mrs. R. Wayne Parker iu the meantime secured restoratives and Miss Dugan was thought to be recovering, when she suddenly expired. It is the opinion of tho attending physicians that she had a stroke of apoplexy in the water, and her death wius partly due to the attack. She was a large woman and weighed about 200 pounds. Her relations live in Jersey City. Miss Parker, not knowing that the woman hud died, resumed her bath, and was much affected when she learned of Miss Dugan’s death. She modestly received the congratu lations of her friends upon her daring. Two Minutes Too Late. Prom Ihe Kansas City News. Mr. A. K. Sellers, of Pnola, Kan., and Mrs Huston, of Wyandotte, arrived at tho Union Station last evening on the Union Pacific train from Denver. While on route to tiffs city the lady and gentleman noticed a man and woman upon the train who ap peared to be in great distress, and upon questioning them it was found thut they hud had nothing to eat for two days. Their im mediate wants wero quickly supplied and it was learned that they were on their way to a point in the extreme southern part of Texas. Mrs. Huston and Mr. Sellers then made a collection on the train, which re sulted in #lO 00 lieing raised. On the arrival of the t rain the lady and gentleman told the couple to remain at the station until their return. Their absence was so protracted that several of the passengers who had con tributed money on the train became alarmed and imparted their belief to Station Master Rogers that they hail skipjied with the money. Tbe time for the departure of the train for Texas came and the destitute peo ple W ere allowed to depart, but hardly hud the train disappeared around the curve when Mr. Sellers and Mrs. Huston came hastening into tbe station loaded down with every imaginable kind of eatables, which they had purchased at their own expense. The money collected on the train was turned over to Mr. Rogers, and Conductor Arnold was telegraphed to find tbe couple und nay them the amount. A telegram from Sir. Arnold this morning stated that the poor people had been found and the money doliv- | ered to them. It would be hard to have I found more shame-faced people than those who had teen loudest In their demonstra tions against Mr. Sellers and Mrs. Huston when that lady and gentleman appeared with their laskets. The provisions were sjut to a charitable in .tituti*u. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1887.
