SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.
Statistics Show an Increase of Feath
er Hunters.
New Tork, April 20. An investigation
by the New York Zoological society into
the destruction of bird and animal life
in the United States has shown that in
four-fifths of the area, of the United
States exclusive of Alaska, bird life is
being annihilated, edible birds are rare
and on the point of extinction, and
plume birds are practically extinct. W.
T. Hornaday, director of the New Tork
Zoological park, in a paper read before
the section of biology of the New
Tork Academy of Sciences, referred
to the society's investigation, and used
considerable of the data to be publish
ed in the report. He said:
"A series of questions regarding the
decrease and its causes was sent to cor
respondents in all parts of the country.
Answers were received from some 200
observers, including guides, collectors,
sportsmen, and taxidermists, from eve
ry state and territory in the Union.
Ninety per cent of the answers showed
that they had been compiled with great
care, and the closeness with which the
estimates in different states agreed was
surprising as well as important in de
termining the scientific value of the
data furnished.
"Eighty per cent of the correspond
ents declared that the decrease in bird
life was unmistakable. With regard to
' the causes of destruction, the majority
agreed in attributing the blame to
sportsmen first of all, to boys who shoot
second, and to the clearing of timber
for cities and towns as the third and
most important cause. Scarcely less
deadly to the birds were the feather
hunters."
The decrease has been largest in Flor
ida, being 90 per cent in 15 years; Con
necticut, Indian Territory, and Mon
tana, each 75 per cent; Indiana, 60; Il
linois, 38; Wisconsin, 40; and Nebraska,
only 10 per cent.
CONGO RAILROAD FINISHED
A Locomotive at Stanley Pool Eight
Years After the Great Work Began.
London, April 20. The Congo railroad
has been completed at last and the first
locomotive has arrived at Stanley Pool.
This notable event occurred on March
16 and the news reached the coast by
telegraph on the same day, whence it
was forwarded to Brussels by steamer.
Twenty years have elapsed since
Stanley wrote that the vast resources
of the Congo could never be thrown
open to the world until a railroad was
built around the 235 miles of rapids in
the lower Congo. The actual work of
grading the roadbed began in March,
1890, and the great work has thus oc
cupied eight years. The road is 240
miles in length, and connects the out
Bide world with about 10,000 miles of
navigable waters above Stanley Pool.
The Congo is by far the largest river
In Africa, both in respect of the extent
of its basin and of the volume of water
which It carries down to the sea.
TRAMPS IN LUXURY.
Spent the Winter at Ease in a Cape
Hay Cottage.
Cape May, N. J.. April 20. When
workmen went to the cottage of S.Hud
son, of Philadelphia, on Beach avenue,
this morning, 6 prepare it for the sum
mer season, they found that the build
ing had been entered sometime during
the winter by tramps and ransacked
from garret to cellar.
Entrance had been effected by forc
ing the back door. The intruders had
evidently slept in the beds and lived in
the cottage without being noticed.There
was grease and flour all over the kitch
en floor, fine furniture had been cut up
for kindling wood and dishes were scat
tered everywhere.
A NEGRO HYPNOTIST.
Under Sis Influence Members of a
Band Fought and Cut Each Other.
Chattanooga, April 20. There is a col-
ored doctor by the name of Jackson
here who has almost half of the colored
population scared to death by his won
derful powers of hypnotism. His fame
has spread far and wide.
Last night a brass band composed of
colored youths of the community had a
meeting and decided to give the doctor
a chance to exercise some of his won
derful talents on them. They made for
his place and the doctor put them under
the Influence of his magic power. Final
ly they all whipped out razors, knives
and whatever they could find In their
pockets and a free-for-all fight ensued.
The furniture in the room was almost
totally destroyed and a number of the
darkies badly hurt before the doctor
could break the spell.

MASSING WAR VESSELS
Spain's Policy Excites Great
Interest In Cuba.
Insurgents Yolunteer For Ser
Tice Under U. S. Flag.
Key West, Fla, April 20. The naval
plan of action, it is understood.has been
finally and definitely decided upon. It
involves the blockade of Cuba, but not
a bombardment of Havana. The block
ade will involve no engagements, it is
expected, except the accidental encoun
ters which are, more or less, bound to
occur.
The senior naval officers of the fight-
ins sauadron believe that Spain is play
ing a clever game in concentrating her
entire naval forces at a distance from
the immediate scene of action. Captain
SamDson. Captain Evans of the Iowa,
and Captain Taylor of the Indiana held
a consultation this afternoon upon the
flagship New Tork, and then came
ashore.
Sub-calibre target practice was taken
up during the afternoon.
Wherever tne eye turns tonignt it is
met by the colors of Cuba libre. In
variably the Stars and Stripes float
above the insurgent ensign, and here
and there a new broom surmounts all,
signifying that Spain will be swept from
the sea.
Throughout the entire day the Vi
vas" of patriotic Cubans have sounded
through the town and there have been
processions of more or less aigmty m
every part.
This afternoon some 200 Cubans, head
ed by a brass band, marched through
the streets and halted in front of the
hotel.
After a serenade of American national
airs, cheers were given for President
McKinley and the newspapers of the
United States. Several prominent Cu
bans made addresses in Spanish, the
burden of these being gratitude to
America and joy at the near prospects
of freedom for Cuba. The procession
then marched to the cable office, where
the following message was sent to Pres
ident McKinley:
"A thousand Cuban volunteers at Key
West offer services under United States
flag. J. S. GOVIN,
"Major."
Active steps will be taken to form a
regiment. Testerday was a Cuban holi
day. The schools have been closed and
the streets crowded with excited groups
discussing the situation. For the first
time the flagpole over the Spanish con
sulate was made to bear the Cuban flag,
and when the banner was raised, "CuT
ba libre" rang out from every throat.
A number of dem-nstrations are In
progress tonight. Wrord for the move
ment of the fleet on Havana and the
transportation of troops to Cuba is ex
pected at any moment, and when it
comes it will find no delay here. All
day the warships have been making
final preparations for immediate action
and few of the officers have been
ashore.
REFUSE SPANISH SALAD.
West Virginia Society Women Show
Their Patriotism.
Parkersburg, W. "Va-, April 20. The
anti-Spanish sentiment throughout the
country struck a leading social function
here last night with a thud that will be
remembered by those present. One of
the most prominent society leaders of
the city was entertaining a whist club,
whose rules are that the entertainer
shall simply serve salads, wafers and
coffee for lunch. Desiring to give her
guests something entirely new,1 the
hostess carefully searched the cook
books until she came across a salad
which, as far as she knew, had never
before been served them.
It was beautiful in appearance, and
as it was being passed around one of
the more inquisitive guests asked what
it was. "Spanish salad," replied the
hostess. There was a hurried rustling
of skirts as dish after dish, untouched,
was quietly placed upon the table, to
the embarrassment of the hostess, who
for the time could not realize what it
meant. A quick witted girl finally re
lieved the strain by suggesting that the
dainty be seized as an indemnity for the
affront offered by the club's patriotism,
which was done and the incident closed.
The salad was a tomato filled with a
compound composed of chopped beets,
red onions and mayonnaise dressing.

ADMIRAL SIR E.
JCCMMANDER OF THE ENGLISH
MISS ALGER TO WED.
There Will Be No Festivities, on Ac
count of the Recent Death of
Mrs. Alger's Father.
Washington, April 20. Arrangements
for the marriage of Miss Frances Alger,
youngest daughter of the secretary of
war, to Mr. Charles Burrall Pike, of
Chicago, are being hastened. The date
has been set for early in May. Owing
to the recent death of Mrs. Alger's
father, the event will be a quiet one.
The bridegroom elect is a Harvard man.
Miss Alger will make the third bride
of early spring whose marriage festiv
ities have been abandoned through
stress of circumstances. The first on the
list was Miss Condit Smith and Lieut.
Key, U. S. A., hurried through unex
pected marching orders of the bride
groom. Only a week since Miss May
Kepworth Barbour and Mr. George C.
Broome were quietly united two days
in advance of the date set in conse
quence of the fatal illness of the bride
groom's father, the late Col. Broome, of
Binghamton, N. T.
FURNITURE COMBINE.
Trust Began Last Winter May Be
come a Reality Very Soon.
Grand Rapids, Mich., April 20. Nego
tiations that were begun during the
January furniture season in this city,
with a view of forming a trust or com
bination by the manufacturers of
chamber suits and case goods, promises
success in the near future.
Meetings, attended by representatives
of Cincinnati, Chicago, Holland and
other cities, have been held here dur
ing the last week and arrangements far
incorporating the American Furniture
company under the laws of New Jer
sey are nearly completed.
It is stated that over 80 per cent of
the chamber suit manufacturers of the
country, controlling nine-tenths of the
output of case goods, have agreed to
put their plants into the combine on a
plan similar to that of the late nail
trust.
There Is some earnest opposition to
the move here, because it is thought it
would endanger this city's prestige as
a furniture center, but the four princi
pal companies that make case goods
have agreed to go into the combination.

New Tork, April 20. Collector Bid
well, under instructions of Secretary
Gage, has ordered the suspension of im
ports through the New Tork postoffice,
pending an investigation of charges of
undervaluation and violations of the
law in this branch of the service.
It is said that the investigation will
lead to charges against several large
importers of gloves, novelties and laces.
These have been Imported, ostensibly
as samples, under the Universal Postal
Union treaty. But there have been such
evident violations of law as to hold up
$10,000 worth of the goods in parcels.

MRS. EDDY TALKS.
Founder of Christian Science Tells of
iter Enemies' Work.
Chicago, April 20. Mrs. Mary Baker
Eddy, the discoverer and founder of
Christian Science and interpreter of the
Bible according to its precepts, to 600,000
persons, today breaks her long stand
ing rule and permits the publication of
and center of the Christian Scientists'
cord, which has thus became the shrine
an center of the Christian Scientists'
faith. She is every inch alive. It is
oniy five weeks since she delivered an
address, the first In nine months. Tet
the statement has been persistently
made that this spiritual, vital personage
is no longer living.
For nine years or more this strange
statement has been made and repeated
with every form of device and circum
stantiality. It does not mean cessation
of life in the ordinary sense of the word,
for this is a definition obnoxious to
Christian Scientists. It means "mental
assassination."
Mrs. Eddy says that "mental tnal
practitioners" have for many years
tried to harm her, but failed to do so.
There are others who say that she is no
longer living.
"If any one tried to injure you or af
fect you mentally could you detect and
foil the attempt, Mrs. Eddy?" was
asked.
It has been tried often and always
failed. Many times bodies of persons
opposed to me have been Introduced into
church without my knowledge, mind
you, unknown to me, without my seeing
them who have tried to effect me. But
they always fail. Their leader has gone
out of church and said: 'I can't touch
her. I cannot have any effect on her
at all.' But they have tried.
"There Is much ingratitude. I have met
it and felt it keenly; coming from those
for whom one does all that can be done
it is very bitter. I have given to many,
cared for them who have turned against
me, trusted those who have betrayed
me, and I have found that those for
whom I have done the most have been
the ones who have tried hardest to hurt.
But they failed."
"What do you consider the future of
tne denomination?
"At the present rate of increase I be
lieve in fifty years,, aye, less. Christian
Science will be the dominant religious
belief of the world, that it will have
more adherents than any other denomi
nation." OCEAN TRAFFIC CRIPPLED.
The War Scare is Keeping the
Wealthy at Home.
New Tork. April 20. Two palatial
Atlantic liners sailed away today with
the smallest load of human freight in
their history.
One was flying Old Glory, the otherthe
Union Jack. The American crack car
ried 21 first class passengers and about
60 second class passengers, or less than
one-quarter her usual complement of
gilt edged tourists, while the Britisher
had upon her list about half as many
persons as she ordinarily carries at this
season of the year.
The contrast caused not a little com
ment among persons interested in ocean
traffic. Inquiry at the local offices of
the shipping companies developed uni
formly the reply that the present traf
fic was very largely reduced by the war
scare, and that futures, or the usual
bookings for pleasure travel, beginning
with May 1 and continuing to the last
week in July, had been practically
wiped out.
Those who sail now are those who
have to go abroad to meet business en
gagements or other imperative calls.
Pleasure seekers are waiting until they
feel sure that their good times will not
be interrupted.
-Big Michigan Mining Deal.
Ishpeming, Mich., April 20. The

FIGHT OUT A FEUD.
Rival Kentucky Families Declare War
Eleven Are Dead.
Pineville, Ky., April 20. As a partial
result of one of the most deadly feuds
that has even existed in this end of
me state, eleven men have been killed
and nearly as many more more or less
wounded. The officers of the law, de
moralized and knowing that to make an
arrest means that their entire families
will be drawn into the conflict.are pow
erless to preserve order. Arrayed
against each other are two families in
Clay county, who now go about the
country armed with Winchesters, the
one seeking to kill the other. Owing to
the isolated part of the county facts
and particulars are hard to learn, but
the following, learned today from a res
ident of that county, is authentic:
Ballard Howard, aged 66, owns 300
acres of timber land adjoining George
Baker, who owns about the same
amount. Three weeks ae-o Baker cut
300 logs, and Howard claimed he crossed
the boundary and cut them off his
land. This occasioned a fight, in which
Alex. Baker, a son of George Baker,
was killed. The latter family to avenge
nis aeatn, swore to exterminate the
Howard family.
Officers of the law were given to un
derstand from both sides that they
would brook no interference. One of the
belligerents expressed it:
"Tou must leave us alone, we want
to fight it out among ourselves."
Last Monday Ballard Howard and
three sons, who had been to Manchester
to procure arms and ammunition, were
waylaid Ave miles from that town by
old Baker and three of his sons. Ballard
Howard was shot through the shoulder.
Jim Howard his Son, and Joe Anderson,
a hired man, were killed by the first
volley from the Bakers. When the
Bakers came from behind the bushes to
complete their work they were fired
upon by the two uninjured Howards
and James Baker killed. Old man Baker
then escaped.
Last Wednesday morning George
Baker, leader on his side, while riding
along the r6ad, was met by Jim How
ard. Both commenced shooting. Baker
was killed while Howard escaped un
hurt. Knowing that some of the Bak
ers would likely come to hunt for the
old man, Howard secured three other
men and went back to where lay the
body of Baker. Concealing themselves,
they waited developments. In an hour
a party of five Bakers arrived.
Waiting until they had dismounted,
the concealed party fired, killing two
and wounding another. The remaining
two men mounted their horses and es
caped. The Howards, after surveying
their work and thinking the wounded
men dead, departed. The two dead bod
ies remained in the road all day. or
fear of an ambush their friends did
not remove them until night.
Last Thursday night John Howard,
while sitting in the house, was fired
at through the window by some one on
the outside. The ball passed through
his left arm. Grabbing his pistol he
rushed to the door and fired at a man
he saw running. The man fell. Before
Howard could return to the house he
was killed by some one concealed in the
yard. It is reported here this morning
that a regular battle occurred yesterday
in which several were killed and
wounded. Both families have been re
inforced by other families of the county
and further trouble is hourly expected.

Shells From the -Vesuvius
Throw Columns of Water
Into the Air.
Newport, R. I., April 20. The pneu

fully fired a loaded shell from her guns
in Narragansett Bay. She was out all
the morning and after throwing dummy
projectiles for line-Are and distance ad
justment, she closed in to the lower
range of the measured mile course and
discharged her three guns in close suc
cession. The first two were apparent
ly dummy shells, but the third shot
ploughed along some distance and then
a great column of water was thrown
nto the air which opened umbrella-like
before it descended. . The trial was pro
nounced most successful.

THE NEW DISCOVERY OF THE CENTURY.
The Eminent Physician and Specialist Who Has Discovered
How to Tell If We Have Kidney,
Bladder or Uric Acid Trouble.
HOW TO FIND RELIEF AND CURE QUICKLY.
You May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail.
There comes a time to both men and
women when sickness and poor health
bring anxiety and trouble hard to bear;
disappointment seems to follow every
effort in our behalf; we get discouraged
and skeptical. In most cases serious
mistakes are made in our treatment,
and in not knowing what the disease is
or what makes us sick.
If a peculiar pain attacks you, try to
locate its origin and discover which or
gan of the body is sick and in need of
attention.
If the kidneys are at fault and in
almost every case in the failing of our
health they are look well to their re
storation to health and strength.
They are the great filters of our body,
and consequently, t.he purity of the
blood is entirely dependent on their
cleansing powers.
If the kidneys are not in a perfectly
clean and healthy condition, the blood
becomes impregnated with impurities
and a decay of the kidneys soon takes
place. If your desire to relieve yourself
of water increases, and you find it "nec
essary to arise many times during

Ed and Otis Roberts, farmer boys
who live five miles from Winfleld have
been sentenced to one year each in the
federal penitentiary for raising United
States notes to higher denominations.
Theirs Is an interesting story of the
swift downward career of two unso
phisticated young men In search of an
easy way to wealth without regard to
the means.
Three weeks ago Ed and Otis Roberts
lived with their wives on a farm of 320
acres near Winfleld. They were well
to do and were considered honest. Ed
Roberts, the older, taught, school in the
winter' and worked on the farm in the
Summer, but one day they went to
Wichita to "see the town." While there
they met in a saloon a man who saw at
once that they were "greenies," and he
got on intimate terms with the young
men in a short time.
It was not long until he confided to
them a secret . He said they could get
rich with but little trouble by means of
a system which he could teach them.
For a consideration their new friend
who called himself Edwards taught
them how to change one and two dol
lar bills into fives and tens. They paid
him for the outfit, consisting of various
kinds of ink, stamps and erasers.
They did not go home but came
straight for Topeka where they were in
formed that their bogus bills would pass
as readily as the genuine. For two or
three days they wandered about the
streets but attempted to do nothing to
ward exchanging their bad bills for bet
ter ones. One evening they went into
a joint and after they had purchased
something to drink handed the propri
etor a Jo bill. He looked at it carefully
and noticed tne erasures nut tne young
men were allowed to go. The jointist
notified the police and the Roberts
brothers' dream of wealth by an easy
road was broken. The police walked in
on them and captured their outfit and a
large number of one and two dollar
bills in various stages of transforma
tion. Handcuffed together they were taken
from the Jail ,to their preliminary hear
ing. This week the federal grand jury
returned four indictments against each
of the brothers. Under the indictments
they might have been sentenced to 60
years each in prison and a fine of $20,000
each.
District Attorney Lambert agreed if
they would plead guilty to one count in
the indictment he would be satisfied.
Judge Foster decided to give the two
men the minimum sentence, one year
each and $1 fine.
The two brothers who left home three
weeks ago each left a wife and child
behind them, but they will go to the
penitentiary at once and begin their
terms and they promise when they get
out they will go straight home and will
not again try chasing rainbows.
