Misuamed Birds.

Speaking of the queer misaomers
of our forefathers, the bird they
called turkey buzZard il neither n
turkey nor buZzard, but vulture.
The real buzzard is "A hawk like cur
henhawk, which indeed belongs to
the family. Just so when Column
bus took home his first Thanksgiv-
ing turkey they seem TO have put
him in prison for it,, the simple Eu-
ropeans named it for the land Of its
supposed origin, Turkey, as the En-
glish is, or even India, according 10
the French. But then America
hardly had a name just then. So
our robin is not n robin at all, but a
thrush. The mountain lion isn't n
lion at all, but a panther-if you
will, painter, catamOunt, puma, or
more properly still, cougar. The
rufiled grouse is called a partridge,
or more commonly called pat
fridge" in New England, and
a pheasant in Virginia.
The European partridge, per-
dirk, the hero OF the 'stOujOurs per.
drix'' story does not exist in this
country. Neither does the pheasant,
being represented solely by its
country cousin, the wild turkey.
Finally, the ortyX Nirginianus, per-
haps because it is neither a quail nor
a partridge, Is called a partridge in
Virginia and a quail in New Eng
land. Wherever il is and what
ever called, thus shall you know the
bird. Your OrnyN sings or whistles
what hehas 10 say about il all in two
notes, the "Bob white'' Of our boy.

mystery Of Harry BALDWIN, who
was found dead some eight years
ago in an alley on Elm Street.
Aleug in the fifties George Cook,
a butcher, and Others, got into a
fracas at the Brighton House, and
one Of his brothers was arrested.
While the trial was going on, and
witness named blanchard
was testifying. and was rather
hard on Cooks brother, George
rushed in, and armed with
cleaver, feIled him to the
groud a corpse. Turning upon the
paralyzed crowd, he escaped from
the Justices office, ami was never
seen or heard VI since. The grand
jury indicted him but no George
Cook answered.
Biddy Fury in early days kept q
ranch on the canal near Elm, and
one night George Tabor had a quar-
rel there in relation 10 one Of the
girls. Tabor was stabbed, and
though there were several parties in
the house, yet the assailant was I'M
known aud, escaping, never was
found. Biddy went to Toledo and
there murdered some one, and was
sent to the pen for a long term.
Perhaps the most thoroughly un-
solved mystery that this city ever
had was in the cholera year Of 1919.
When the Miami canal was being
cleaned the corpse Of richly attired
and beautiful woman was found UNI
der the Vine street bridge embedded
in the slime and mud OF the canal.
She had on valuable jewelry. Her
body had several fatal wounds. Who
she was. where she came from or
who murdered her was never known
and probably never viii he. Such
are a few OF the many unsolved
mysteries Of crime.-CdHciEnuH I'm

poses In the Way OF Quarantine.

Of framing. more stringent rules and

KEMMLER REsPITED.

The Noted Electrical Execution In New
York indefinitely Postponed BY Writ Of
HAbeas COrpus-Why Judge Wallace
Granted the Writ
AUBURN, N. Y, April 3O.-Judge Wal
lace, of the United States Circuit Court,
has granted q writ of habeas corpus, re-
turnable June II, in the case of Kemm-
ler, the man condemned to die by elec-
tricity this week. The ground for the
writ is that the act under which the eX-
~ecution was to take place is in violation
OF the Constitution.
THE JUDGES STATEMENT.
New York, April 30.-Judge Wallace
says that in granting the Kemmler ha-
beas corpus writ he upheld the views OF
the counsel making the application,
that inasmuch as the case was one OF
qife and death the questions involved
should be passed upon by the highest
tribunal in the land. The question as
tothe validity of the delegation Of power
to sheriff to fix the time and circum-
stances of the death Of condemned
man was serious one.
The Judge int mated that the restric'
ton of the liberty of the press was also
a question to be considered, but he did
not say positively that this was one OF
the reasons for granting the writ. The
question OF the cruelty or unusual nat
ure of the punishment would be consid'
cred by the Supreme Court.
There were other questions involved,
but the Judge did not care to extend the
interview, which was granted at very
late hour.
Paul d. Craveth, counsel for the West
inghOuse Electric Company, stated pos
itively that that company had no part in
the proceedings by which the execution
..of Kemmler has been deferred.
