THE MAYOR AND THE SOCIALISTS.

/ THE MAYOR AND THE SOCIALISTS,
Mayor HAnH1soN has oaused hia special
organ to rotraot the statement previously
credited to him, to tho otfoet that tho polict
conldnot dtsarm tho Bohemian Sharpshootora
because tho Consttution gaarautoes TO every
man the right to bear arms. Tur TRIBUNE
cannot undertake to follow up all tho mistakoa
and corrections OF Mayor HAnR1soNis special
organ, but draws attention to this case be.
cause 1t Was misled into criticism Of the
Mayor for what ho now asserts ho did not
shy, and because It is anxious to believe thas
he is not inclined to tako tho Communiatic
view OF tho statuto which goes into effect
sne hrst OF next month, and forbids tho Or
Banizauon and parade OF just such military
companies ns the bohemian Sharpshooters.
Ihe constitutional principle Is very Clearly
dodned BY tho Language employed, which
guarantees tho right to boar arms because
q "eA'organized militia Is necessary to
tne security OF FREQ State; but
tha ne" Law forbidding tho organiza-
tsoh OF independent and irresponsible MILL
tarS comp anses' and Furnishing citizens who
belong TO such organizations, is one that
shoulu have had place among tho statutes
from 1I tho very organization Of tho State.
ihero would then haye been no question
ABOUT the right to disarm the Bohemian
saarpshootefs In TACT, there would haye
oeen no buca oFganizahon' and consequently
no saeh saotous proceedings as occurred on
1as. sunday
lhe primary and In fact tho only lcgiti-
mute, purpose OF organizing military com
panies anu perfoohng eitizens in the uso Of
nreafms Is to repof Invasion and conserve
tho peace. This purpose cannot be carried
out except under tho authority and control Of
INC auly constituted officers of the State.
oats'ao Of such control, the organization Of
military pfo"esa Is menace to society, be-
cause II may be used to destroy instead Of
preserving pubic peace and order. If

olalistie organizations, tho monaco becomes

New Facts About Parrots.

One day last week there arrived in
Pittsburg. from South America, nearly
600 young and uneducated parrots,
which are being disposed of at 80 apiece.
A reporter Of the Ledder dropped into
the store where they are on exhibition,
and had chat with the importer, who
during the last few years has brought
from South America to this country
over 5000 of the birds, for which he
found ready sale at So head. The
birds he brings here ale from the Wind
ward Islands, oil tho north coast of
South America. The birds from that
section are larger, harder and more
intelligent than from any other portion
of the parrot section. These birds
build in the royal palmetto tree, digging
hole into it and building their nests
much after the fashion of the wood
pecker. In order to get them the trees
have to be cut down. The young birds
are then put in cages and fed upon
palmiche, guava and banana until the
palmiche season closes, when they are
old enough to eat any and all kinds of
food. The breeding time is in May,
and there are three birds to the nest
never more. When taken they are
sorted, the males from the females, and
sold, the price received being about
$3.50 apiece. They hatch but once a
year, and receive their full growth in
about eight months. The importer
states that he sells from twenty to forty
day when he has stock on hand,
and never finds any difficulty in dis
posing of them. In response to the
question as to whether it is necessary
TO split parrots tongue in order to
make 1T talk, the parrot man said that
the idea was an old woman's story.
All that was necessary to make par
rot talk was to place it, while young,
where there was u great deal of talking
gong on, and the bird would soon re-
peat what it heard, and when it did
begin to initiate sounds 1t would keep
mt it.
Its propensity to repeat anything it
hears may sometimes be amusing and
often annoying, owing to the possibility
OF its striking the senslbilities of the
pious-minded by being profane, not to
say blasphemous. a great many
amusing stories are told Of the sayings
of parrots, some Of which will bear le-
peating. AT the McHerry House,
Meadyiile, there is a parrot which is
source of great annoy ance to train
men. When il sees freight train
coming it will yell Mt the top of its
voice: :" Switch off switch off," The
enunciation is so distinct that it not un-
frequently happens that the train will
be switched to avoid a supposed dan
ger. The same bird, when ii sees a
passenger train, will veil: All aboard
and thereby raise scamper among
passengers, who, after sitting in the cars
ten or fifteen minutes, will discover
that they have been sold atsburg

Curing Hydrophobia by Force of Will.

1t will not do TO say that hydrophobia
is always disease Of the Imagination;
but that it is sometimes such, and that
ii may be controlled and cured by the
influence of the mind over the body,
would appear to be proved by the fol-
lowing interesting case related in
recent article in the ConhW Magasine:
Andrew Crosse, the electrician, had
been bitten severely by u cat, which on
the same day died from hydropho5ia

circumstances. Had he yielded to them

in his arm, accompanied by great thirst.
