estate This year he reappears upon the surface and the yacht Alert skims the cummer seas with John Lunlng at the helm The Alert is the craft upon which he created such a sensation In Mediterranean waters some years since Commodore Harry Gllllg and Skipper John Lunlng are the representative California yachtsmen now In Eastern waters During the last years of his life when he visited New York the late James Phelan was much occupied with the project of a big office building to occupy the site of the Stevens House on lower Broadway He had the plans drawn btit something always interfered with the scheme As a hotel the Stevens had even then outlived It usefulness Other property owners In the vicinity not of Phelans procrastinating ways put up Office buildings which have always been sources of profit Meanwhile the Stevens closed Its doors Phelan wearied of his proposed Phelan block In New York sold the property and went back to San Francisco and left his property an interesting family and Phelans dream Of a big office building seems further off than ever of realization for the StevensHousev is rising again not Phoenlx like because there were no ashes laHse from but frofri the almost

Million Club are as but childs play He is bringing home to a very desirable class of immigrants the benefits and advantages of the Golden State as a home and it is not unlikely that he will have a large following In the near future Easton is built in an earnest practical progressive mold and he impresses people when he talks to them of the sunset land A regiment of Eastons scattered over the

menageries with wild animals is interesting especially when the circus agents go directly to the haunts of the beasts to capture them alive Gaylord foreign agent for the Rlngllng Bros circus has had some thrilling experiences in this work Soma time ago he wrote the Rlngllngs from Singapore about a hunt to capture Users alive Among other things he wrote Although the Island of Singapore Is only fourteen miles In extent there are no less than 500 tigers that Inhabit Its woods and people here do not venture alone beyond the city limits after nightfall The first night of my arrival here while our ship lay in the harbor I could plainly hear the roaring of the bloodthirsty beasts as they prowled around the outskirts of the city In search of prey Mr de 8ilva the native agent having located several tigers trails we started on foot with about fifty natives the following morning The trip to the first tiger trail was only three or four miles and we arrlved at this point at aoout 8 oclock After locating the trail exactly and finding the stream to which the tiger must break for water each night on awakening from his all day sleep the habit of the tiger we set about making our preparations In the direct path of the tiger we dug a pit seven feet wide ten feet long and fifteen feet deep but much longer and wider at the bottom than at the top All the dirt dug from the pit was carefully removed to a considerable distance by the natives and they showed great care and skill in not leaving any external evidence of the fact that a big hole had been dug A lot of bamboo strips were next laid over the pit and these covered with dry leaves made to appear like the general surroundings We next took three bamboo sticks about twelve feet in length and placed them In the form of a tripod in such a position as to bring the point of the tripod directly above the center of the pit From the top of the bamboo sticks some of the natives suspended a live goat by a cord barely strong enough to bear its weight and sure to break If the tiger leaped upon the goat Everrthhur be ing in readiness for Mr Tiger as soon as he chose to go against our little game Mr de Sllva and myself as well as the natives repaired to a hut about eighty rods distant and waited deVelonmmts It had been dark about an hour audi Degan to think we were going to be disappointed when one of the natrrel rushed into the hut crying lend beshma The furious cries of the tiger hal startiea mm as with a terrific roar It sprang upon the suspended goat and going down with its burden sank into the merciless pit prepared for It Igniting a number of torches both to light tne way and to forestall any attack that might possibly be made upon us front wild animals we proceeded in a body to the pit The roars of the tiger were awful as he furiously tried to leap onward to gain his freedom As I haves ready explained to you the sides of the pit slanted Inward toward the top and at every effort the tiger could beitard striking his nose against the loose earth This frantic behavior was kept up for about an hour when entirely ex hausted the fierce king of the Jungle my perfectly quiet at the bottom of tne pit Two of the natives now lowered bamboo basket down into the pit letting the open side fall directly over the supine form of the tiger Immediately after tnis a number of natives Jumpea into the pit and began crowding rattia withes through the sand beneath tha tiger and bringing them around tla basket In this manner the tiger wal in a few minutes completely Inclosed la the bamboo basket Returning to the hut we awaited lit dawn and as soon as It appeared tM natives went back to the Dlt and llftrf the basket containing the tiger out of St we detailed ten of the coolies to taw our captive to the city Before thC started I took a look at our prl through the rattan withes He wai iS magnificent specimen but the sorrieJfe lookrig tiger I ever saw He was ered with blood from his frantic effort to get out of the pit and the skin wU peeled from his nose and face whS the eyes were almost entirely closed ot the swollen face 3 Smallpox Epidemic Smallpox is so much in earnest in Bo ler county Me
