The cruelty to animals case, men
tion of wnich was made in The Tele
graph of yesterday, has not been dis
posed of, though it was called in the
recorder's court yesterday morning.
In the partial trial yesterday a new
factor crept into the case. When M.
X. Wilson sold the horse to Wes Jack-
son for $15 with the understanding
that if the horse lived he should re
ceive the money, the animal had a
very sore place on its shoulder.
Jackson secured the services of
Raymond Cooper, who is supposed to
be a veterinary surgeon, and Cooper
went to work on the horse. Later the
horse fell and broke Its leg, and this
got so bad the neighbors complained
of the sight of the animal suffering.
It was here that Officer Avant went
out to shoot the horse provided he
could get the consent of the owner.
Jackson would not give consent for
fear Wilson would make him pay for
the horse. Wilson would not consent
because he said the horse belonged to
Jackson. On this state of affairs the
case was made against Wilson.
In his statement to the recorder
yesterday morning. Wilson said he
wanted the horse shot to end his suf
fering and so telephoned the city hall
officials, but no one seems to have re
ceived the message.
In continuing the ease, the recorder
intimated that if the horse was Im
mediately shot, that fact would be
duly considered in the final disposi
tion of the case, and by this time the
horse is probably dead.

How the Rioh Pawn.
Some revelations of the operations of
a high-class "loan office” are made-by
a writer in the "Reader." It is with
the loan office that most of the aris
tocratic pawning is done in England.
One of the proprietors of such an office
was Induced to talk about some of the
transactions in which the firm has
been concerned.
"The aristocracy,” he said, "are not
quite so simple-minded as most people
suppose. Only one day last week a
young lady of title had been 'plunging
.at bridge.' with the result that she
owed £S00 when she loft the tables.
It was impossible for her to consult her
husband, who is a mail in the Guards,
with hardly more than enough to keep
their little house in Pont street going
comfortably, so she came to us—and,
curiously enough, we had only a few
weeks before had a visit from her hus
band. who had lost heavily over ■ a
horse. The jewels that this wide
awake society dame was anxious for
us to accept as security we discovered
were a portion of a ‘dummy’ set, such
as most women have nowadays. She
seemed quite surprised that w’e should
wish to test the security offered, and
when found out, she only laughed, and
exclaimed that she thought either set
would do. One was worth upward of
g£2.000, while the other was worth
Jly as many shillings.
"Not infrequently we have been
ked to advance money upon the
ace of the person needing it mak-
r'taff a bnililAnt and wealthy marriage.
"Some months ago a lady brought
her daughter with her one afternoon,
one of the prettiest voting women in
London soeietv and asked us. as she
was hard up and unable to pay her
heavy dressmaking bills, to advance
her .£1.000 on the chance of her daugh
ter marrying a very rich man. We ad
vanced her the sum she asked. Her
daughter made a brilliant match, and
three or four months after she sent
us a check.
"One of the most romantic things
that have ever happened to any of our
clients occurred with reference to a
well known French comtesse. She had
come over to London for the season
with her husband, and must 'have been
betting very heavily, for a week after
the Derby she was announced and on
entering, told us that she must have
£ 10.000 by the end of the month. As
wit’ll so many women, the only security
she could give was her jewels, and
those she knew she could not part with
in sufficient numbers without their ab-
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, March 21.—
The store of Joseph Tusa, a fish deal
er at No. 830 Christian street, was
wrecked tonight by a bomb supposed
to have been thrown into the piace
by "Black Hand” agents. Tusa and
his daughter were in a reaY room when
the bomb was thrown, but they escaped
serious Injury as did the family of
Giovanni Ragollo, who occupy rooms
over the store. About a mouth ago
Tusa found a note under the front
dn.,r of his store when ho opened the
place in the morning. The note was,
signed "Black Hand” and demanded
the payment of $1,000. Tusa was warn
ed that he would be severely dealt
with if he failed to pay the money.
After discussing the matter with hts
family, Tusa concluded tiie note had
been put under his door by boys or
some practical joker. He destroyed
the note, but afterwards told the po
lice.
The bomb which was thrown into the
store is supposed to have been loaded
with nitro glycerine. The bulk of the
windows and doors of the store were
blown out, the floor ripped up and all
the shelves with their weight of pro
visions fell. The explosion roused the
Italian settlement and the business
men are terrorized because a similar
bomb was thrown into a store less than
two blocks from tho scene of tonight's
explosion on Monday a week ago. The
police have been unable to learn any
thing about the bomb throwers.

How One of “The Finest" Did Up a
Jiu-Jitsu Expert.
From the New York Tribune.
One venerable weakness of cultured
pqople Is that of standing in awe be
fore anything hailing from east of
Suez and adorned with a job lot of
consonants and vowels. Not long ago
it was somebody like Swamivivlconun-
drum that terrified the "brainy.” Then
It was a Buddhist priest from Japan.
The awe soon spread beyond the nar
row confines of the Intellectual world
and crept insidiously into the hearts
of men—that is, ordinary citizens—so
that jiu-jitsu found the Western world
prepared to receive it with the servil
ity and credulousness demands by Ori
ental potentates, real and figurative.
Jiu-jitsu came. It stood in the same
relation to Anglo-'Saxon fisticuffs and
catch-as-catch-can as the Grand Lama
of Tibet does, or did, to an African
Methodist exhorter. It was held to be
uperior to wrestling and sand-bag
ging as a Japanese cloisonne vase is
to a Jersey City imitation. Strong men
went down before it in paralytic terror
of its misty origin and name. Babes
and cripples pitched giants prostrate
upon the mat with its rules. And then
the fear of a Japanese invasion smote
the Pacific coast and sent the land
staggering into the throes of an earth
quake.
There was only one way by which
the spell could be broken; some inno-
the game.

It is reported here tonight on good au- ! more thing5 west of Suez than

have to teach the names of the pieces.
So. too, if you ever want to feel the

But with the experiments made upon
Patrolman Mead of the East Fifty-first

be definitely classified as inoculous. Mr.
Mead was tested day before yesterday by

Japanese with iiu-lsh blood in his veins.
Mr. Mead, having received his education
in Ireland and Manhattan exclusively,
proved immune to the hypnotic virus of

GERMAN GUNBOAT
TO ENFORCE DEMANDS.
NEW ORLEANS, La., March 21.—
President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, is
quoted as acceding to a request of
President Roosevelt for arbitration of
the war troubles in Central America In
a letter received her last night from
Bluefields, Nicaragua. The statement
of Zelaya is said to have been printed
in Bluefields along with President
Roosevelt’s appeal for peace, which is
dated In February and is as follows:
“To His Excellency, the President -of
Nicaragua, Managua:
"It is with profound regret that I
have received the news that the court
of arbitration between Nicaragua and
Honduras, which met in El Salvandor,
has been dissolved on account of tha
fact that the court believed one of the
two parties concerned has not discon
tinued its preparations for war during
the arbitration.
"Allow me to state to your excellency
that the United States hopes that this
deplorable happening may be the re
sult of some error which might easily
bo recognized or another appointed
which may act in accordance with the
regulations well understood and faitjj-
fully caried out by both parties to this
controversy, so that peace, with all of
its benefits may be maintained, not
only in Nicaragua and Honduras: but
in all of the Central American States.
The cause of humanity, the advan
tages of pacific relations by means of
which the prosperity of each separate
republic contributes to tne prospertiy
of all, and the friendship that we all
posses for the two countries involved
in this difficulty induce us, while ex
pressing our respect and esteem, to
vehemently urge your excellency to
follow this proceeding.
“I am sure that the Governments of
Mexico Guatamala, Ei Salvador and
Costa Rica will agree with me. In tjUlJ.
am addressing a similar telegram to
the President of Honduras.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
President Zelaya closes his reply by
saying:
"I, therefore, accept your friendly
offices, being disposed to have tho
question settled by arbitration on tho
basis mentioned. I beg to state to you
that the sentiment of the Nicaraguan
public is the same as that of the Amer
ican people when the steamship Maino
was blown up.’’

pressed at the foreign office that unless
