Capture of Black Eagles.

BY the steamer Senator, which arrived
on Saturday, Mr.. Wolcott, of this city,
brought two young black eagles for Wood
wards Gardens. He says that this spe-
cies of eagle is rare almost to extinction.
They were secured by him On very ele-
waited portion of the Sespe range of
mountains, about seventy miles north
from Santa Barbara, where he put them
on the boat.
Having previously observed the parent
eagles sailing down the valley, he climbed
tree twenty feet abovethe ground before
a branch was reached, and then ten feet
more to the nest, some of the sticks COM
posing which were as thick as a mans
wrist With some difficulty he secured
the young birds, then about three weeks
old and the size of large chickens. He
succeeded in decamping with them before
the return of one of the old birds, which
came back shortly afterward with a
young lamb in its claws. Though the old
bird saw Mr.. Wolcott, it did not see the
young eagles, or there would have been a
fight. Returning to the house at which
he was staying, the birds were secured in
a pen, and kept three weeks. They are
now about six weeks old, about two feet
in height, and can dispose of jack
rabbit or more at meal without indi-
gestion. A few days ago a coyote visited
the houses and destroyed all the chickens.
The eagles were then placed in the chick
eD-pen. The next morning the coyote re-
turned to get some more chicken, and un.
der the impression that these eagles would
suit him, he got hold of one of them.
The ecgle also got hold OF him by in
serting his talons in his nose, but was un-

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

ACCORDING to London telegrams of the
23d and oath, the crossing of the Danube
was intended merely as diversion, the pes
tion of the Dobrudscha forbidding any ex-
tended operations in that direction. The
Turkish post of Matchin had been occupied
by Russian troops. 1t was believed that the
main crossing of the Danube would not be
effected for some days. The total number
of Russian troops in Roumania was stated to
be 1900.
AUSTRIA has formally refused to Interfere
in behalf of Montenegro, unless the latter ac-
knowledge that she is hopelessly PROSTATE,
and applies directly for assistance.
CoNsTANTINoPLE kilograms of the oath
say the Montenegrins had been forced to
evacuate Cetinie. The Turkish Chamber
of Deputies had voted in secret session to
continue the war to the death, even if all
Europe combines against Turkey.
AN Athens dispatch of the oath says the
passage of the Danube had greatly strength.
ened the war party in Greece, and that sew
eral regiments had left for the frontier. a
Greek conspiracy had been discovered in
Salonica.
IT was reported from London, on the 18th,
that the English Cabinet had, after due de-
liberation, disapproved of Gortschakoff'
declaration as to Russia's policy in the East
ern war. and the English Government had
resolved not to allow even the temporary oc
cupation of Constantinople by the Russians

The Meek DetrOiter.

There are some meek-faced and tender
hearted men in this City of Detroit There
is one III particular who owns house and
lot in the eastern part of the city. Anoth
er citizen, whose face doesn't betray
meekness, owns a vacant lot next to him,
and few days ago he wanted to buy the
meek faced man out and build a factory
covering both lots. The figures were too
high, and he went away feeling mad and
revengeful. Coming across a Snowman
who wanted 10 set up his tent and exhibit
wild man and other interesting speci-
mems of life and death, he gave him the
free use of the vacant lot. 1t was stipu-
lated that hand-organ should be kept
going, bells rung now and then, and if
the wild man uttered wild yells occa
sionally 50 much the better. When the
meek faced citizen saw the tent put up a
tender, forgiving smile crossed his face,
and he made for printing office. About
the time the Snowman was ready to open
doors'to the anxious public the meek faced
citizen was ready with his signs and tack
hammer
g Gentlemen, walk in and see the great
Kickapoo kangaroo from Kalamazoom
said the Snowman
Tack tack !" and up went a sign on
the fence reading: Look out for small
pox!" A second and third followed,
and the meek faced man was putting up
the fourth when the Snowman closed
bargain with truck to move him down
town. He wasn't over fifteen minutes
packing and loading, and when the lotwas
clear again the meek faced citizen sat on
his door step and mused:

General News Summary,
FROM WASHINGTON.

THE President, on the 23d, addressed a
circular letter to all prominent Federal
ofhceholders, in which he calls attention to
the following paragraph in a previous letter
addressed by him to the Secretary of the
Treasury, on the conduct to be observed by
officers of the Government, in relation to
elections: mo officer should be required or
permitted to take part in the management of
political organizations, caucuses, cOnven-
tioLs, or election campaigns. Their right to
vote and to express their views on public
questions, either orally or through the
press, is not denied, provided it does not in
terfere with the discharge of their official du-
tics No assessment for political purposes
of Officers or subordinates should be al
lowed" The President adds: This rule is
applicable to every department of the civil
service. 1t should be understood by every
officer of the General Government that he is
expected to conform his conduct to its re-
quirements"
THE Chief of the Ordnance Bureau at

An Old Story.

Some months ago Frank Whittemore,
an artist, courted a New York heiress by
the name of Alice Carter. Her parents
opposed the match and the twain eloped
were married and took up their residence
in the vicinity of the metropolis. A few
days ago she became mother, her father
relented and sent her a check for 81 900
her husband forged the wife's signature,
got the money, abandoned her and the
child and fled to Europe
This is a striking illustration of marry
ing in haste and repenting at leisure.
This poor young woman has now learned
to her sorrow that her parents knewmuch
more about her good-for nothing swain
than she did, and that if she had followed
their advice she would not to-day be in
sadness.
The last act in this play of marriage
was the most lugubrious. The father,
learning of her desertion, threw open his
door and killed the fatted calf. She
made up her mind to return, but DIR.
Talson, who had attended her, had an
attachment issued against her pendtes for
the amount owing to him. They were
seized on truck-car at the Hoboken
Ferry, and conveyed to station house,
where Mrs. Whittenore, accompanied bv
her father, appeared, and he paid the bill.
Nothing could be more sadly prosaic
than this denouement; but it is safe to
affirm that its lesson will be lost upon
those whom it should serve. The young
woman will continue to think of the
guitar, the silken ladder, the moonlight
and the song of love. The nice young
man will continue to appear when her
young imagination is filled with this par
aphernalia, and beguile her willing ear
with his tender story. The experienced
father and mother will frown upon his
suit, and recommend their favorite, some
unromantic plodder of an assured future
from whom the daughter will turn away
She will not listen to the plain speech of
the parental choice, but will hang by the
hour on the sweet words of her Alma
viva, and, in spite Of the family injunc-
ton, will marry him, eloping for the
purpose, if necessary. Then, nine times
out of ten, she will discover, when it is too
late, that what she took for gold was only
pinchbeck.
It's an old story, and will probably go
on as long as the world lasts. The ca
pacity for loving is something enormous
in the feminine breast, and the adverse ex-
perience of others will not deter her, as
rule, from taking the man of her choice,
though he come from the regions of brim-
stone.-W Washington Nation.

kand, a Russian detachment of 800 men,
with 400 COsSackS, was compelled to re-
treat before superior force of the enemy.
Gen. Trotsky decided upon might attack,
and contided his plan to Col. Skobeleff,
then his Chief of Staff. The latter en-
tered into the i1ea with great enthusiasm,
and proposed to lead the attacking column
himself, and to take only $50 Cossacks
Skobeletf, having reconnoitered the
ground, perceived that the Khokandians
had encamped within mile and half of
the Russians in an open plain, which
gave every facility for the maneuvering
of cavalry. At midnight he took his $50
Cossacks, divided them into three parties,
and cautiously surrounded the enemy's
camp. The party led by Skobelef him
self managed to pass the enemy's out
posts, who were sound asleep. Then he
gave the signal for the attack by firing
his pistol, and, followed by his $50 Cos
sacks, he rode headlong into the enemy's
camp of 5000 or 1000 men, shouting and
yelling like fends, and cutting down
everything in their passage. For aquarter
of an hour the plain resounded with
shrieks and yells, shots, the trampling of
horses, shouts and groans, and all the up
roar of battle. Then all was silence.
Skobeletf assembled his Cossacks, and
when morning came he found that the
whole army of the enemy, 5000 or 1000
men, had disappeared, leaving on the field
about forty dead, 1900 or 1900 muske!s
and sabres, all their camp material, and
baggage. But what was his astonishment
on calling the roll to discover that he had
not lost a man either killed or wounded.
Mr.. MacGahan, who first met him on the
banks of the Oxus, relates this exploit to
show how much method there is in this
dare devils madness.-COr. London DAILY

Birds Nests.

The best way to find nests is to watch a
bird while building; in that way, more
over, you are sure to see them in their
best condition, and to know when the eggs
are fresh. 1t requires patience; but you
see the workers return again and again to
the same spot, and little closer inspec-
ton usually completes your knowledge,
th ough you may sometimes be deceived
or nonplussed by the caution and cunning
of the architects. You will facilitate your
work by scattering cotton wool, horse
hairs, straws, string, worstcd, and cloth
where they will attract the attention of
the birds about you. Put them on your
lawn or on the piazza vines, and watch
them. A robin comes to carry off the
string, and, having used up what you have
provided, and liking the material, attacks
a long piece wound round a stake, and
effort he frees part OF it; but the harder
that he pulls the rest, the tighter he ties
the knot around the stake, and the string
is becoming entangled with his legs he
fights twenty minutes and then gives it
up. Sparrows pick up hairs and straws
from the lawn, and wa1blers come to the
vines for cotton wool, passing fearlessly
within three feet of your chair; then
they come back to break off little
twigs and to peel off shreds OF
dry bark from the honeysuckle. A pair
of golden robins, the male with black and
orange, the female with yellow and duller
black, come for string, worsted and thread;
but beware Of them for they are thieves.
Leave your knitting under the tree there
for five minutes, and it is gone; you will
find it a week later, a part irrevocably
woven into the hanging nest, and a part
dangling with the needle in it. The
weaving is so cleverly done that you won
der whether the orioles haven't used your
needles. Not at all, madam; defy you
to produce with your implements such
piece OF work as these birds have pro-
duced with their bills. Successful exper-
iments have been made by supplying the
orioles, in the tree where they are occu-
pied, with bright silks and worsteds,
which they employ altogether, if literally
provided, so that very gay and parti-
colored nest may swing in your orchard
where you can see it from the house
Wilson says that an old lady, to whom he
showed an orioles nest in which piece
of dry grass, thirteen inches long, was
passed through thirty-four times, asked
him, half in earnest, if the birds couldn't
be taught to darn stockings.-H. D.
Miaot, IN Rarper's Monthly.

A Curious Old Newspaper.

There has lately been discovered, in the
library of the University of Heidelberg, a
copy of newspaper which proves to be
the Oldest periodical OF which there is
now any certain knowledge. 1t is quar-
to volume, bearing date 1909, and is sup
posed to have been printed by John Caro-
lus, of Strasburg. The paper was issued
weekly-each number consisting Of two
sheets. 1t was mainly occupied with let
ters from corresponding States, which
were contributed regularly. 1t is inter-
esting to note that letters from Vienna
were about eight days on the route, from
Venice fourteen to seventeen days, and
from Rome twenty. one days. When the
matter contained in the letters, together
with the news retailed at second hand,
failed to fill the sheet, the remaining space
was left blank
Intelligence of every sort found place
in the journal. Among the most interest
ing occurrences noted was the Inanufac-
ture of the telescope by Calico. The cor
respondent from Florence writes, on Sept.
4, to the effect " that the Government of
Venice made considerable present to
Signor Calico, of Florence, Professor of
Mathematics at Padua, and increased his
annual stipend by 100 crowns, because
with diligent study he found out a rule
and measure by which it is possible to see
places thirty miles distant as if they were
near, and, on the other hand, near objects
to appear much larger than they are be-
fore our eyes"
The news received from Prague affords
disturbed picture of plunder and murder
in the streets of the city. 1t appears that
at this period men and women were daily
seized by bandits, robbed, strangled and
brown into the Moldau. Seven bodies
were taken from the water in one day;
and at another time seven malefactOrs
were apprehended, "who confessed that,
on the 18th of this month, they threw
about fourteen persons into the water, and
that their band numbered about eighty,
who were, for the most part, natives of
Prague. ."-LOndon AcGdeny.

being equally powerless to drag the eagle
out. The coyote then concluded that he
didn't want any more eagle, and expressed
himself to that effect loudly, but too late,
inasmuch as Mr.. Wolcott's attention was
drawn to the spot and he shot the animal.
He says that the ull-grown eagles of this
very rare species are eight feet in spread
of wing, four feet in height, and scarcely
