Ducks Eggs Destroyed by Wholesale.
St. Louis Globe Democrat.


A st. Louis sportsman spent the
greater part of last summer at Thomp-
son Junction, Brainerd, Fort Garry,
Pembina, Lake of the Woods, and
points along the line of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. In explanation OF the
scarcity of ducks this season. he stated
that during his stay in the north, rail-
road laborers and others made it a
business gathering the eggs of water
fowl and shipping them to Duluth and
other markets. This nefarlous traffic
was carried on to such an extent that it
undoubtedly accounts for the heavy
falling off complained of by sportsmen.
Each nest generally contains about
seven eggs. When Matched the pro-
portion is about five males to two fe-
males. The sportsman alluded to states
that nearly all the ducks that fell to his
gun while he was away were males.
Ten of thirteen maliards killed on one
occasion were males. OF eleven teal
bagged at one time but two were fe-
males. There is no market for teal
eggs, which are very small, but they
are used for domestic purposes by rail
way laborers and others in the north
west The gentleman is unable to &C
count for his strange experience and
the growing scarcity of waterfowl on
any other theory thSn wholesale rob-
berry of nests and TIE indiscriminate
slaughtering Of young ducks.

The Dispute Between France and China.


The province of Tonquin, about
which there is now d serious quarrel
between France and Caina, is part of
the Little kingdom of Anam. Several
years ago the French established o
''protectorate" over Tonquin, for pur-
poses of trade, soaring the Anamites
into submission by warlike demonstra-
ton. The Song. koi river, which emp
ties into the Calf of Tonquip, is in the
province of China. The French value

piratical turn of individually closed
the river to foreign trade two years
ago. This was the reason why France
bombarded the capital of Tonquin
last spring, and began to collect cus-
tom duties. TIE "protectorate"
which assumes to control the Song-koi
river comes into conflict with the King
of Anam and also with the Chinese au-
thorities, in whose territory the river
rises. Despite all protests from the
Court of Sekin, French gunboats and

An ExtraYagant King.


The cupidity of King Kalakaua. of
n 2 appears not less rapacious than
that OF some of the monarchs of Eu-
rope. He is described by a writer in
the San Francisco Report as "a huoe.
oyer-grown. tan colored gentleman of
Malay descent, whose capacity for
carrying champagne has frequently
aroused the admiration of outside bar
bar ans. " Eut he has other capacities
as well. Some time ago the King made
q sort of Punch and Judy tour through
Europe, and he returned with immense
ideas The simple republican customs
that he had seen in the United States
were spoken of with derision, and moth
ing seemed of the slightest Importance
in his eyes but the monarchical pomp
he had witnessed in the Old World
He concluded that he must have a big
palace, a throne, a jeweled crown, an
army, more lackeys, etc, and bigger
salaries for everybody. At the last
session Of his Legislature he forced APP
preparations that exceeded his possible
revenues in the sum of $4,000, 000 For
every dollar he raises by taxation he
must raise another by loan. His ma
tive subjects pay no taxes. His salary
was increased to $4,000 per annum,
or 81 for every man, woman and child
on the island In add ton to this he
has $4,000 per annum for "hs
Queen" $4,000 for his "heir Cppa-
rent, $1,000 for his Lord Chamber
lain and $4,000 for his household ex-
penses. One of his bills, amounting to
81, 200, was paid. The colored lady
related to him gets $4,000 per annum,
and another one $4,000 per annum.
His royal guard costs $4,000 per an
mum. For police, flags, bands, salutes.

three Sheriffs. he was allowed 1915, 900
His Prime Minister, his Minister of
Finance, Attorney-G eneral, Minister of
Fore On Affairs, and his Chief-Justice
were voted $4,000 apiece, and his
Auditor-General and two Associate
Justices $4,000 each. His Postmaster
General only gets $8,000 His "tour

extent of S22, 90. Twenty Judges,

An Incident in the Career Of Mr..
Jewell.


When young man ex-Gov. Marshall
Jewell, of Connecticut, was for some
time aresident of Rochester. The ac-
count of the manner in which Mr.. Jew
ell came to live in Rochester is quite in
teresting, and. as.related by one of the
olden residents, is as follows: 1t seems
that in 1846or 1917 Mr.. Jewell became
dissatisfied with life IN Hartford, and
informed his father that he was going
West. to make his fortune. Soon after
this he left Hartford. At that time
Isaac Hall, formerly resident OF Hart
ford, and a friend of Marshall's father,
was associated with Mr.. Thompson in
the proprietorship OF the old Eagle
Hotel which was located on the ste
now occupied by Powers Block When
Marshall left home. his father, expect
ing that he would stop in Rochester and
call on Mr.. Hall, wrote Mr.. Hall to de-
tain him in some quiet way, if possible.
The letter reached this city be
young Jewell did, and on his arrival
Mr.. Hall offered him the position of
clerk in the hotel, and finally succeeded
in persuading him toaccept it. During
his residence in Rochester he won many
friends, and, no matter where he met
any of them in after life, he always en-
ioyed speaking of his life in the Flower
City. He did not remain here more
than a year or two, when he left for
Detroit While he was clerk in the
Eagle Hotel, "Nick' Hadley was one
of the porters at the house. In after
years, when Marshall Jewell was Post
master-General, he one day met his old
friend ''Nick'' in the streets of Roches-
ter, and, conyersing with him, found
that he was employed as a porter at
Congress Hall. He took him to his
room at the Osburn House, where he
was stopping, introduced him to his
wife, and they enjoved very pleasant
visit. ''Dont you want some better
place to work than that?" asked the
Postmaster-General before they parted.
and, receiving an affirmative reply,
soon after Hadlev was placed in charge
of the mails at the New York Central
depot here. Rochester IN " Post
