1t is we'll known that owls hunt BY
night; but it may be less matter OF
common knowledge that, like other birds
OF prey, they return by the mouth the
hard indigestible parts of the food in the
form of elongated pellets. These are
found in considerable quantities about the
birds haunts, and an examination of them
reveals the fact that owls prey upon n
number OF predictions creatures the dcs-
truction of which is directly beneficial TO
man. The evidence gained in this way
is infaliiblc; and TO show to what extent
owls assist in preserving the balance OF
nature, it may be mentioned that seven
hundred pellets examined yielded the re-
mains OF sixteen bats, three rats, two
hundred and thirty-seven mice, six hun
drad and ninety-threc voles, one thou
sand five hundred and ninety shrews. and
twenty-five birds. These truly rcmarka.
bic results were obtained from the com
mon barn-owl; and the remains of the
twenty-five birds were those of nineteen
sparrows, one greeniinch, and two swifts.

A Law to Punish Drunkenness.

The liquor law framed by Senator Scheffer,
which has gone into effect in Minnesota, is de-
signed to punish drunkenness and provides
for fine of from $40 to $40 for the first Of
tense, from $40 to $50 for the second, and 90
days in the work house for the third. When
asked what effect the law would have on the
Minneapolis municipal court, Judge Maloney
said:
1T will not materially change the order of
things with us. Our custom in treating drunk
enness Is much the same provided in the
new law. There is. however, one feature of
the law that differs from the ordinance under
which we formerly worked. According to the
ordinance the offense was not punishable I'M
less committed in some public place, while the
statute covers drunkenness in secret as well as
IN the public street. l am glad this bill passed
the legislature. 1t makes it crime now in
our state to drink to excess. and it is express
sion of the public condemnation of drunken
ness. | think it will result in doing a great
deal OF good. For the reasons | have cited
the new law has created no unusual features in
the pastime of drunkenness in this city as yet
Its eventual effect will, of course, depend
greatly upon the leniency or strictness of the
authorities

New Haven's Heiress Welded.

John f. Dockendorf, one of Yale's class of
49, Sheffield Scientific school, last Wednesday
morning married Miss Lizzie Goodyear, of
New Haven, in New York city. No one in
either of the families had the slightest intima-
ton that the subject of marriage was ever seri-
ously considered by the young man. He had
but recently returned from his home in South
America, where his parents reside. Last We'd
nesday morning Miss Goodyear left the resi-
dence of her grandfather, William b. Good
year. the wealthy real estate man, where she
resides. She told them that she was going to
visit friend. She did not return until Thurs
day morning, and explained her absence by
saying that she had married Mr.. Dockendorf
stormy scene followed, and the old gentle
man told her that she must leave the house
unless she could show marriage certificate.
This she was able to do. She then went to
New York, whence she will accompany her
husband to South America to-day. 1t is said
that Dockendorfs parents are wealthy, resid-
ing in Brazil. Miss Goodyear is the prospect
i've heiress of her grandfather.

IRVING BISHOPS DEATH.
Another Autopsy Fails to Discover what
Killed Him.

Another post-mortem examination was made
In New York Friday Of the body of W. Irving
Bishop in the undertaker's room at Sixth ave-
nue. Deputy Coroner Jenkins was the oper-
ator, assisted by DR.. Briggs, of the Carneg lie
laboratory; DIR. Frank Ferguson, the patholo-
gist who is under $4,000 bail to appear at the
coronor's inquest, and Deputy Coroner Weston.
After consultation with the doctors present.
Deputy Coroner Jenkins made the following
official statement: 1--WE find the organs in a
fair state of preservation, but from our exami-
ton we are unable to state the cause of death.
Portions Of the different organs have been
taken for microscopic examination" This ex-
animation will be made by Drs. Bggs and Fer
guson, and the results will be put in evidence
at the coroner's inquest next week.
The story that Bishop always carried on his
person letter addressed to the physicians,
giving directions about his autopsy and the
address of his mother. is denied by his friends.
No such letter was found on him. A we'll
known member of the Lambs club, who
present the night Bishop was seized by cata-
leptlc mt, said there was no foundation either
for the story that Bishop was hazed at the club
by standing him on his head and sticking pins
into him. He came at the suggestion of Mr..
Dixey.
A new point in the case Of the previous
autopsy developed Saturday. 1t was that for
one hour before the autopsy took place the
mind readers body was inclosed in an alright
casket. This is claimed to have been sufficient
to cause death, even if deceased was only in
trance. The accused physicians, Drs. Irwin,
Ferguson and Hance felt somewhat relieved at
this discovery.
