thus takes place, and the fact that
the parent turtles are more easily
captured at breeding time than at
any other period, it is proposed in
Barbados to establish "close time"

take the hint, and preserve a valuable

President Hayes on Gen. Meade.

President Hayes spoke these few vigorous
words at the Meade memorial meeting at the
Academy of Music, in Philadelphia, on Satur-
day evening:
81 thank the commander of this post and the
committee of invitation for the opportunity
they have given me TO enjoy and take part in
the programme. which has for its object the
raising of funds for a monument to Gen.
Meade. The other great commanders who
have passed away have been remembered, and
you will see their monuments in the beautiful
parks Of the nations capital. You will see there
a monument of that hero of three wars, Gen.
Winfield cott-(applause); you will see there
a monument to that hero of Chicamauga, Gen.
Thomas you will see there monu-
ment to that noble soldier and native of my
own county in Ohio, Gen. Mcpherson. ZAP
plause.) But you do not zee a monument to
Gen. Meade, and this meeting here in Phila-
delphia, understand, is for thnt purpose.
Meade commanded at the critical period of the
war, at the very crisis, and at the time when
Gen. Grant and his army were at Vicksburg,
but had not got in. He commanded at that
period when those who belonged to it and those
who did not belong to it loved to hear it
spoken of as the grand old army of the Poto-
mac. (Applause). Always equal to the high
est place he ever held, always adequate to his
duties, always faithful, always conscientious,
and at all times one of the most fortunate of
men. 1t sometimes happens to the best OF
men, through no fault of their own, they fail
and pass into obscurity. But Gen. Meade was
always fortunate in his command of that grand
old army. (Applause). Had he not turned
the scale in that decisive battle at Gettysburg,
the Englishman's footsteps would have been
heard on the debris of fallen republic. But
now, Meade's memory. without a monument,
is forever safe. (Applause). Meade and
Gettysburg are linked together in adamsnt that
will never crumble. (Applause). Then, when
we build our monument to Meade, it needs no
extended inscription. We will simply write
there, George Meade. who commanded the
forces at Gettysburg Great applanse).

Proposed street Improvements

A meeting of the council committee on
streets, sewers and bridge, was held at city
hall last night, Alderman Dowlan in the chair.
Engineer Sewall submitted profile of the
proposed improvements to be made on Third
street, whereby that street is to be brought to
grade between Sibley and Broadway streets.
Alderman Aliens resolution in reference to the
change of grade on Third street was compared
with the profile, and upon comparison they
were found to present no material difference.
A communication was read from Gen. John
son stating that Messrs. Pitcher & Cook were
about to start lumber yard and machine shop
on block Is in Stinson's addition, and re-
questing permission to run a spur track across
Farquhar street. Referred to the city engineer.
communication was read from Anthony
Yoerg, asking for the vacation of certain por-
tion of Ohio street, on the grounds that it ma
terially damaged the property on Ethel street.
Referred to the alderman of the Sixth ward,
the engineer and city attorney.
aThe matter of opening a street from Sibley
to Broadway streets, in connection with the
Union depot project, was taken up, and con-
sideration of the same was laid over until the
meeting of the committee on railroads next
Monday. Several matters of minor importance
were considered, after which the meeting
adjourned.

R0MES FOR THE ToTLERs.
Another Meeting of the Lot Owners and
Home Builders.

Pursuant to adjournment, the lot owners
of the city, and those who are
DESTROYS to build providing there is plan de-
vised by which they can do so. met at the
chamber of commerce last evening. The in
clenency of the weather and the muddy con
dition of the streets prevented number no
doubt from being present, aud consequently
the attendance was light.
Toe meeting was called to order by the Chair
man, MIR. Bryant, shortly after o'clock.
Col. A. Il. Kiefer, chairman of the commit
tee to confer with lot owners, reported that he
had sent out circulars explaining the objects of
the organization. but the time was SD short
no response had been made to them. Since the
last meeting only one person had respond
ed, Bartlett Presley, Esq, who offers
eight lots on Rondo street in
of $3.50 each, at five per cent interest. The
will dispose of them on either one of the three
plans proposed by the association.
Mr.. MeClung said that he had
talked with a number of lot owners
who were favorable to the plans proposed, but
they all needed more time to study the matter
over little. At the request of gentleman
desiring to build he explained at length the
plans proposed, but as these plans have hereto
fore appeared in the GLOBE it is not necessary
to repeat the same he concluded by inviting
those present who had not heretofore signed
desired to build. A large number came for
ward and signed.
Further explanations were made by Col.
Kiefer and Mr.. Bryant, after which the meeting
adjourned until next Friday evening at the same
time and place.

The Month of Suicides.
London News.

very popular fallacy has received from the
events of last week notable and well-proved
contradiction. Every one has heard, and been
ready to credit, the statement that most sui
cides in England occur in the month of No
vember. 1t is SO probable that it is asserted
as if it were proved. The conhection between
dreary weather and depression of mind is OBJ
vious, while in most cases depression of spirits
is the cause of self-destruction. The theory is
so plausible that it is almost a pity to upset
it. AS matter of fact, however, Novemb Der is
credited by the impartiality of statistical re-
turns with less than the average number of
suicides; while the last few days of last week.
when the sun shone and the weather was
bright, witnessed an extraordinary cpl
demic of this kind of crime. The newspapers of
Saturday alone chronicled seven deaths which
would be called self murder but for the extern
uating circumstances, which induced the sew
eral juries to find in each case evidence of tenn
porary insanity. Side by side with these facts
we read most favorable reports of the health of
the country. The average London death rate
of "a in 1000 has been reduced for the past
week to 10, and the change of weather is cred
tied with much of this beneficial result. The
extraordinary prevalence OF suicide during the
second week of May may, of course, be a COIN
cidence, but even in that light it is worth re-
Numbering as contradicting widely believed
fallacy. 1t is curious, too, to find that the an
ualiaverageis pretty regular. In the scourse
of fifteen years it has never exceeded 1 300
and never been less than 300; while the pro-
portion between the number of men as COM
pared with that of women who are tired OF life
remains constant at that of three TO one.

Owls as Pets.

When the boys in Europe wish to rob
an owls nest of the young, and cannot
reach down the hollow tree, they tie
worsted stocking to stick, and poke it
down. The birds turn on their backs
and grasp the stocking with their claws,
and are easily drawn up, as they possess
the faculty of holding on in high de
gree, as my torn clothes and lacerated
hands could frequently testify. Owls
are easily tanned, and sometimes make
interesting pets, although there are
more differences in individual tempers
than most people would imagine L
have living at this time three snowy
owls, captured this winter. One was
wounded with n rife ball; one was
trapped the other attacked a hen in
midday, but was in turn knocked over
by gallant gamecock; the farmer saw
the circumstance, ran and threw his
coat over the owl and secured him. All
my birds are very tame, and viii sub
NIT to be coaxed on the head, and will
take food from the hand at any time of
the day or night. L think l may say the
snowy owl is an exception among rapa-
cious birds In the quality of its flesh, as
it is really tender and well tasted. 1
have known it eaten ON several occasions
and pronounced excellent. One was
served up incognito at a public dinner,
and was greatly relished.

Lancaster Correspondence of the Boston

On the occasion of death in the community
trombone choral is sounded from the church
belfry, aud any Moravian in Litiz can tell at
once from the air which is played whether the
person just dead be married OF unmarried male
or female, old or young. The Moravian music
is all of solid character, and the trombone
plays an important part in all their religious
exercises. On gentle rise of ground south of
the village is the graveyard. The inclosure is
divided by straight avenues of cedars, which
separate the graves of the women from those of
the men. Indeed, the graves are classified as
Moravian congregations were formerly. In one
place one finds the rows of graves where the uu-
married men are buried. next the married and
then the boys under II. A similar arrange
ment exists on the women's side of the Gods
acre. The mounds are of two sizes, one size
for the adults and one for the children, and are
of an oblong shape and fat on the top and
small Tombstone lies upon the mound. At a
little distance the tombstones are invisible
and one sees only long rows of green mounds
overrun with perwinkle and moss pinks. The
stones are all numbered, and the highest num-
Der observed was 958.

THE GLOBE HOROSCOPE.
AS 1t Casts its Light on the Chicago
Market.

AS 1t Casts Its Light on the Chicago
Market.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
CHICAGO, June 4.-Cables lower on spot,
higher on cargoes. The market opened higher
and animated, selling $1.021s June; 9S15c
July, with considerable doing at the advance,
though the market was gaining and everything
looked bright for a still higher range, yet the
market dragged. 1t was dull at times and de-
serted, the excitement at the convention call
ing traders there However, the close is firm
and looks firmer; June $l.02; July $3.50; the
long futures hard to quiet; August wheat 1890
and the year S41Sc. The influence that caused
the strength this afternoon is bad reports from
the winter wheat sections, constant showers
and no sun for harvesting. If we should
have much of this talk the gang would
sail off with flying colors. The note 1 made to
you last evening concerning the cable orders
for wheat here and in Milwaukee come fully
confirmed to-day, as the stock in the latter
place has been reduced 100000 bushels during
the last week, and there is no doubt that if
freight room could be had stocks would be
nothing in Milwaukee and materially dimin-
ished here.
Corn stronger and higher. The feeling per-
vades that the syndicate that had the May
option so ght had the June option the same
way. Quotations unchanged; June, 363Sc;
July, $3.50. Receipts continue liberal and the
shipments only controlled by vessel room.
Provisions-No change to note. This deal,
as have said before, is entirely local talent,
and it would make no difference which side
operations were made, the internal viscera
would be ripped out.
