A RARE BIRD.
Engineer O'Connor Captures a
Fine Canadian Coose.
Engineer Con O'Connor is the happy
possessor of an exceedingly rare bird, for
this section of the country. It is a Ca
nadian goose and the the manner by
which lie became its possessor is very
odd. Yesterday morning while on his
regular passenger run between here and
Lincoln the bird was scared up along
the track and in some manner ia its at
tempt to escape Hew against the drive
wheel, injuring one of its wings so that
it could not fly. Mr. O'Connor saw the
bird and knowing its rareness stopped
the train and caught it, taking it on board
witlt him and bringing it home in the
eveninjj. When its feet were untied at
Mr. O Connor's house the bird showed
fight and thus displayed its beautiful
figure to the admirers. The head, bill,
tail and neck, except a spot just under
ana next the head which is win re, are
jet black. The breast U a beautiful
light brown being almost white, while
the back and wings arc a quite dark
brown; the back feathers adjoining the
ftil are of a pure white. The goose is
about as large as as a medium sized tur
key and is of very graceful appearance,
Other than the wings the bird hasgno in?
jury and Mrs. O'Connor will attempt to
t une it. Mr. O'Connor thinks that pos
sibly the bird had one wing injured be
fore he met it, and in attempting to fly
and get from the path of the train it-
struck the other wing against the drive
wheel.

formerly a milliner in Alaysville, Ky., and
migrated to Kansas' City ten or fifteen
rears ago, She began in Kansas City the
business sne nau followed n Kentucky,
and was more or less successful until an
old Wild hole on one of the streets of the
city fell to her in liquidation of a $2,500
debt. This the lady accepted with a great
deal of reluctance And with the shedding
of many tears, since she did not believe
the property to be worth ball the money
it had cost her. She, however, finally
lajljed from the discouragement and re
fused f PAsb oner for the property, an
offer which amounted to a little over half
tbe
About a year ago tho New York Mntual
Lite Insurance company began casting
about Kansas City for a site on which to
locate a 3,1WU,0U0 building, The proper
ty owned by the milliner, once a mud hole,
was on a corner seventy feet on one street
and eighty feet on the other. 1 hey pur
chased lots on each Side of this corner and
then had a lot in the shape of a capital L.
They wanted her lot and offered her $125,-
000 for it. She refused, and they Kept
raising the offer until they reached the
enormous sum of laU.UUU. bull she re
fused, and then she supplemented the re
fusal with the statement: "Gentlemen,
you go ahead and put up your building,
and no matter how high you go I'll build
on my lot one story higher than you do.
I'm going to raise a monument to myself
right on that corner." And, It Is said,
next summer she will keep her word.
The $2,000,000 building is now about com
plete and is ten stories high. The little
two story building which the milliner
owns on the corner and which she will
tear dowp to build greater nets her an
annual income in rentals of $21,000.

Pauperism In Paris.
In order to be entitled to outdoor relief
a Frenchman must have lived in Paris at
least one year and be registered on the
books of the bureau; for foreigners the
minimum of residence is ten years. More
over, to be inscribed on the register it is
necessary to produce a certificate of birth
and civil papers, to wait first for the
audience day of the administrator who
presents the petition, and then for the
meeting pf the committee wmcn nas to
decide on its valkiity. These delays and
formalities fam heavily on the workmen
suddenly deprived of their work or struck
down by accident and illness.
The inconvenience and fallacy of the
system were made painfully evident at
the time of the conflagration of the Opera
Condone and the panic which followed
and caused so many theatres to close. A
number of machinists, supernumeraries,
box openers, musicians and ballet girls
were abruptly informed at 8 o'clock in
the evening, when they came to fill their
parts, that they would be without work
for an uncertain time. Many families
were in consequence utterly destitute, but
not being at the time registered at the
Bureau de Beinfaisance they remained
literally without bread. The organisation
