Public opinion is said to bson the side of the manager. eMeassemMeweMeaeMßßaewMMWMM One sometimes hears strange things about home affairs from people at a distance. The Pittsburg Dispatch says: “In Oregon and Georgia the populists are notifying the democrats that the next time they propose to do the swallowing themselves.’’ In that event, to use the idea of Mr. Stephens, the populists would have more brains in their “midst’’ than in their heads. The Duke of Veragua, who epeakeof President McKinley as an “ignorat-t sutler,” is the noble Spanish don who accepted this government’s hospitality during the world’s fair at Chicago, and whose poverty so worked upon the tender hearts of some American mil lionaires and society people that, they made up a purse to relieve bis distress. Os ah persons, Veragua ought to be last in Spain to say an unkind word about America or Americans. Ingrat itude is the most despicable of human traits of character. The increased orders for warships, not only in thli country, but abroad, ought to have the effect of enlivening the market for cornstalks. Possibly there are those who imagine it to boa very far cry from a cornstalk to war ship; but such is not the case. A substance called cellulose, used for packing the sides of warships, is now being made from the pith of corn stalks. There is one factory for the production of cellulose in Kentucky, and another has been talked of in Ala bama. When a shot pierces the side of a ship, the cellulose, becoming wet, swells and closes the rent According to the cable dispatches, Minister Woodlord’s note of recent date to the Spanish government “lays stress upon the fact that the contin gencies are now fast approaching for the action which was foreshadowed in presidential messages and diplomatic correspondence so frequently during tbe last three years.” In other words, the administration of Maj. McKinley ia proceeding upon lines clearly indi cated by the administration of Grover Cleveland- The country is to he con gratulated upon tbe fact that the pres ident M too big a man to depart from the policy of bis predecessor because that predecessor chanced to be of a different political party. If President McKinley would only adopt a similar course with regard to Hawaii, his rep utation as a statesman would be great ly enhanced. 'X KTct'.v'.- 7 ''l^* aaL- LABSOIXO A PANTHER! —. HOW A HUNTING PARTY IN TEXAS • FOUND A QUEER PET. A Ferocious Animal Captors* In CeWboy ’ Fashion How a Darin* Negro Got Oan ’ as Iba Cabs- Th® Mother and Her Chit dran In Captivity. Those who ooncinde that there are Bo ferocious or dangerous wild animals in the mountains of western Texas would experience a very sudden change of sentiment if they should meet a panther face to face in some lonely can yon. Tho magnificent animal now chained in front of our wagons is called by somo a Mexican or mountain lion and by others a panther She is of a dull yellowish color and will weigh more than four or five ordinary leop ards. She measures just 11 feet from tho tip of her nose to tho end of her long tail. . Although she has been in captivity only a few days she is astonishingly doc ile so long as she can seo her two enbs that are chained under tho wagons. The moment they sot »p a whine she springs to her feet, all her hair turns the wrong way, and while her eyes look like glow ing coals of fire sbo gnashes her sharp white fangs and tries the strength of her chain. If it were not strong enough to hold an ox, I should prefer that there were two or three counties between us just at that particular moment Tbe cubs are already as gentle as lambs and as playfol as kittens, and nothing pleases them better than to crawl under our blankets at- night and cuddle up close to us io escape the chilly northers. We captured her in tho mountains of the Deal! river in western Texas, and I doubt if a more daring feat was ever accomplished by a crowd of hunters. Gamo of all kinds is very abundant in this region, and the boys had tired of shooting deer, antelopes and turkey a Several big wolves and two or three panthers had been slaughtered, and it was evident from the numerous tracks about the water holes that there were plenty more of them in the mountains. One evening tho hounds struck a hot trail and ran a big panther into a cave on tho side of a mountain. That night while discussing the ad ventures incident to tho day’s hunt two daring young men, Petmakerand Black, declared that they intended to hang a noose over the month of the animal’s den on the next day and capture her alive. Both are Texas reared boys and experienced hunters. Tho proposition met with unanimous approval, and all volunteered to assist in tho desperate undertaking. Tho next day as we rodo out of can > somo of the boys grow bolder, and /o of them, who wore ex pert vaqueros, declared that they in tended to rope the beast if they could get close enough to her. These two — young Petmaker of Menard county and George Black of Austin—rode toward the den, and tho other members of the party and negro Jim, who had charge of the hounds, started to beat up the valley. We had gone but a short distance be fore the dogs struck a hot trail and ran with yelps which indicated that they were dose to the animal. Petmaker and Black heard them coming and reined in their ponies on tbe edge of a little opening and unslung their rawhide ropes from tho horns of their saddles. The big animal sprang out of the brush and stopped within 20 foot of Potmaker. Tho cowboy’s lariat flashed through tho air and landed right around the wild animal’s neck. Tho instant it touched her sho screamed like a terror stricken woman and, leaping high in tho air and gnashing her teeth, began to decrease the space between her and the daredevil at tho other end of tho rope. Black, who was too far away to co-operato with his comrade at first, was now on the field, and with lucky precision ho hurled a second noose over tho animal’s head. Both wheeled their popies, and the trained animals made a leap in opposite directions. Tho ropes were drawn taut, and tho big monster was choked to the earth. While she was rolling on the grass and clawing at the noose another expert with the rqpe galloped and caught one of her Irina feet. They could now easily hold her at a safe distance from each other, and after much excitement and many rather dangerous stratagems they succeeded in dragging her to a good camping place not far away. Since at that stage of her captivity wo could not move her to tho wagons, we moved tho wagons to her, and, putting a stout chain around her neck, wo mado her fast to a tree. Some of tho hounds were set baying at the cave, aud one of tho boys and tho negro Jim wont owor there to call them off. An old dog ran into the den and camo out yelping with a young jaguar about the azo of a house cat hanging to his hide. They captured the cub, and then tho negro crawled into tho den and brought out another —a thing that I would n<J.c have done for a deed to Texas. The cubs soon made friends with us and were ready to eat from our hands or crawl upon our knees in a sow days. When the niother saw her children in captivity , she set up an awful roar, but when ttei >y were put down by her side she seen: ed to be very grateful and soon afterwar d made a hearty meal off a large pil jco of venison that was thrown to her. After a few' days sho seemed to become perfectly reconciled to the now order cd things and is now on the look out for something to eat Negro Jim pats he r on tho back and leads her abbut like a lamb. The bounds have made friende with her, and nothing pleases her be* .ter than for our bird dog to play with h er. She oould easily throttle the larges t bull cn the plains and toss a man a bout as a cat does a mouse. We have i lamed her Miss Vixen. —Cor. St Louis Republic.
