The Appetite for Hen Coops.
Peck's SUM-

Charles Thomas, Of Riverton. b. l., was
shot dead by Moses Grinnsll for attempting to
take hen coop. II is getting pretty tough
when man cannot be allowed to take hen
coop without being shot full of holes. We pre-.
sumo Mr.. Thomas was q man OF strong i'm
pulses, and when he wanted thing he wanted
1t bad. He may have had AN appetite for hen
coops that had fastened itself on him, and be-
come stronger with each year. He may have
tried to shake off the appetite, aud at times
felt that he had conquered it, and then wnen
he saw hen coop unprotected he was over
powered, his. hands would itch, and he would
be powerless to prevent himself from taking
the hen coop. Men should not judge harshiy

land. Bremen and Hamburglin Germany, alike
have extensive aud costly enterprises In pro-
cefs OF development, largely for the purpose
accommodating the rapidly increasing trade
between the United States and the interior Of
the Continent. He instances Rotterdam,
which is expending upward of e, OOO, 900 gull
ders upon her harbor accommodations, as we'll
as Amsterdam, which, like Its sister city has
awakened from its lethargy of the past to the
Importance OF the American trade, and has
lately expended several million dollars on o
canal to connect Its port with the North Sea,
and is also introducing steam communication
with this country. Antwerp, which has al
ways been noted for the excellence of its
DOCKS has very large scheme of improve
ment In hand, which changes the entire line
of the river Scheldt within its limits, and
which is being accomplished at the expense Of
The city.
In Great Britain the development of new
dock accommodations is a leading feature at
all the princip'l ports Shields. Newcastle,
Hartepool, Hull, Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea
and other ports seeking to compete with the
larger ports of London, Liverpool and Glasgow
for the American trade, each and all having
great expectations of the future in this respect
and judging BY the experience of the past few
wears, this expectation bids fair to be realized.
Even Liverpool whose dock commissioners
nave expended nearly hundred million dol
lars In developing the finest dock accommoda-
tons in the world, has additions to its present
which are estimated to cost nearly ten million
dollars. and SO profitable are the present icks
that the Mersey Dock and River Commission
ers have iecently red ced tie duties to the ex-
tent OF hall million dola's yearly. As this
Is less than half the annual surplus, the mer-
chants OF Liverpool are clamoring for reduc-
ion of another half million dollars with the
view Of attracting TO Liverpool q portion of
the trade which now goes to other people.
Interviews which MIR Phillips had with
some OF the most prominent owners and agents
showed that they were anticipating Q very
large increase of traffic across the Atlantic, es-
pecially in relation to immigrant and cabin
passengers and that the tendency toward con-
structing larger and faster steamships is gen.
eral After his extended examinations of the
seaports which he visited, and with the infor-
nation OF future intention in the direction Of
deveaoping the ocean traffic between the Old
and New World, it is not at all surprising that
the returned commissioner should state as the
conclusion of his visit abroad, that Boston has
been delinquent in providing accommodations
here for the increasing commerce which is
pressing upon rs.

JvDGE BLACK, according to the Boston
journal, carries his deductions on the rail-
road question too far. 1t adds: illegal au-
thorities quite as eminent as Judge Black do
not hold that railroad is public highway.
Charles Francis Adams. Jr., doubtless one
Of the first authorities on railroad questions
in the country, declares that sin no respect
does the railroad in reality resemble IL e
highway and pronounces the ANALOGY as
mischievous as 1t is false Judge Blacks
error lies in the fact that he assumes that
there is no difference between the two."

In overcoatings the same shades Of brown pre-

especially where greet heft end waiding are not
de-ired. These goods are really rather NICE since
they make very nicelv finished overcoat without
lnings except the sleeves The cloth is absolutely
two faced, or rather two cloths woven together,
ard 1t makes a warm and attractive overcoat. In
scsae instances the garment Is made perfectly re-
yefsible. showing a fancy checked brown, mud.
eoiored or light colored overcoat for everyday
wear and mild dressy, smooth cloth, black or dark
brown overcoat for Sundays. Again, the double
faced goods are made as to show handsome
plaid inside fnish In the place ofa lining. These
Goods are cut In neat Styles rather long, but not
quite long last year. The ungainly old ulster
has almost entirely disappeared with its broad belt
and outlandish pockets, and In its place. for those
who must have heavy, solid coat for exposure.
much better-looking garment is provided, long
and coarse, but without belt, straps an up and
down pockets. For the more dressy and heavy
overcoat, from the best custom shops, will appear
this winter some really excellent elysians and es-
kimo beavers very thick, soft and warm. They
are wool-dyed, IN plain colors-black, blue-blaok,
dark and navy blue, and brown and are as soft
and warm as fur. Indeed. the cloth appears, from
the nature of the WOOL and the method of weaving,
to be almost one-fourth of an inch In thickness.
