The Small English Birds No Longer Blamed
for Destroying Crops.
Harrisburg independently
Only few years after John Bardsley's
Importation of English sparrows, and their
enormous increase In Pennsylvania and
other Middle, Eastern and Western States,
they were blamed for all defects in fruit
crops and all vineyard production failure.
The sparrow was popularity regarded as the
implacable foe of buds and blossoms, as the
destroyer of fruit of all kind and the ex-
terminator of native song birds. Whether
or not this is true is hard to tell, but it is
certain that the greater the increase of the
spar row the larger the yield of orchard and
vineyard. If the plucky little English
feathery bully did for awhile Danish native
song birds from the groves and parks of
Pennsylvania, they were not forced perma-
nently to remain absent from their native
haunts as they are now here again in all the
brilliance and radiance of their plumape.
the gush of their song and the strength of
their numbers, while the sparrow really
seems to be decreasing.
These are facts which are worthy of con-
siderstion when talking of the sparrow as a
crop destroyer and an exterminator of ma
tive song birds, as there is no longer anv
doubt that it is not CAPABLE of the one or the
other result The sparrow is neither bully
among birds nor destroyer in orchards or
vineyards. Hereafter this bird will take
its place among all other birds of the coun-
try, as neither better nor worse than any of
its companions of the field, the orchard and
the vineyard.

Ex-Governor Carroll, of Maryland, Thinks
Cleveland VIII Be Elected.
BEDFORD, Pa, July 2z.-[Special ]-Ex-
Governor Carroll, of Maryland, who is at
the Springs for short sojourn, was seen on
the large veranda this morning and asked
to talk on the political situation. The
handsome old gentleman commenced by
saying, 81 think the Democracy have made
good start in the selection of Mr.. Har-
rity as Chairman. have heard him spoken
of by prominent politicians in the highest
terms as wise and conservative leader"
When asked by the reporters as to West
Virginia going Republican, Governor Car
roll replied: "West Virginia will vote with
the balance of the Southern States and is
as surely Democratic as Maryland" In
speaking of the Empire State, he said that
New York was sure to go for Cleveland and
that Tammany would be loyal as she has
always been before, and in the words of
Burke Cochran: ''She couldn't do otherwise
if she wanted to-" He believes that New
York and Indiana will be the battle ground.
In speaking of the effect that the Home
stead trouble would have on the political
situation, Governor Carroll said that he did
not think the trighttul affair that took place
on the Monongahela should affect either
party, but he believed it would help the
Democrats. He believes that the tariff will
be the main issue on which the great cam
paIgn will be fought.

Harry Paimer's Peculiar Methods ol
Robbing-A Bad Record.
Harry Palmer, colored, has been up in
Jail for two months past for assaulting Cal
win Gray, with the assistance of man
named Gordon, who is now sojourning with
him. He had just finished serving term
of five years in the penitentiary before this
for burglary. His methods were quite pecu-
liar, although he did no. confine himself to
any one line. One of his favorite plans was
to throw stone from the opposite side of
the street at show window, and if no Off
Ger appeared he would go and appropriate
worth of plate glass in this way.
R. J. Dalzeu & Bro, grocers, of ALLIE
gheny, had two sets of harness stolen from
them previous to Palmer's last imprison-
ment, and DR.. Buchanan, of the same
place, was also relieved of very hand
some set These were recovered at the
store of Gimbert & McKelvey, whose de-
scriptions tailed exactly with Palmer and
Gordon, who had meanwhile been placed in
Jail Messrs Gimbert and Nc * elvey were
taken to the jail and readily identified the
two men.
Palmer recently signifed his intention of
employing lawyer to sell his household
goods, etc, contained in his room at 1917
Penn avenue. The officers were suspicious
of the man and went to the address given,
finding it tenement house with a small
sign on the outside reading "Harry Palmer,
Electrical Engineer and Constructor.
They effected an entrance into the front
room which was occupied by Palmer and
the examination proved to be revelation
to the officers It contained about 81, 600
worth of stolen property, chiefly electrical
instruments and supplies, but including
q collection of empty wine
bottles, bric-a-brac, typewriter, cut
glass and clothing as well. Even the
food he ate must have been stolen from the
places where he worked, for the remnants
showed it to be homemade. He had an as

Diebold. but who is supposed to be the |

CHIcAG0s WATER GIVES OUT.

Sixteen Persons Die of sunstroke, and SS
Are Taken to the Hospitals.
CHICAGO, July 27.-The number of casu-
alities from the heat in this city to-day
surpasses all previous records. Besides
the deaths OF 16 people from sun
stroke, SS have been taken to the
various hospitals or their homes, prostrated
by the intense heat. OF these several will
probably die. The air blowing in from the
prairie was as hot as though it came from O.
furnace. The mercury in the Governmant
office stood at $40 at o'clock this morning,
and reached 93o at nooon. At this point it
remained for the greater part of the day,
the air cooling slightly in the evening.
Thermometers on the street level were
from 40 to 60 higher than the official
record. To add to the general discomfort,
some parts of the North and West sides
were, during the hottest hours, entirely
without water, the city mains being
unable to supply for time
the tremendous demand put upon
them. The wind still blows from the south
west, and there is strong probability that
Chicago will stew and swelter for another

STILL CASTING THEIR BALL0Ts
No Change in the Situation in ZanesviIIe's
Convention.


Convention.
ZANESvILLE, O., July 27.-[ Special J.
The balloting for Congressional nominee
by the Republican Convention for the
Fifteenth district continued all day to-day
with but little variation. The vote of
Noble county was switched from Private j.
NJ. Dalzell to Colonel j. d. Taylor, of
Guernsey county, but that was an event
that was expected, and the Guernsey dele
cation made efforts to enthuse the balance for
Taylor.
AT the afternoon session he secured "a
votes from his own county and "a from
Noble. Fl. c. Van Voorhis has the 81 votes
of Muskingum and General R. r. DAVIS has
the 4S cast by Washington, while Morgan
county cast its vote alternately for Van
Voorhis, DAVIS and its own candidate Hon.
E. M. Stanberry. A well defined rumor
gained circulation to-day to the effect that
the Guernsey county delegation has eau
cussed and had gone to the Washington
county people with the proposition that if
they would throw sufficient strength to Tay-
lor to nominate him, they, the Guernsey peo-
pie, would return the compliment two years
hence by giving the Washington county
people solid support. The Washington
county managers deny, however, that any
such proposition was ever made to them.

COLORADO'S PEOPLES PARTY.

The State Convention Has. . List of
Candidates Put Before It by q Com
mittee-The Delegates Concluded to
Make Some Inquiries Before Voting.
DENVER, Col, July 27.-Coliseum Hall,
when the Peoples Party Convention was
called to order this morning, was scene of
enthusiasm. The members of yesterdays
Silver Convention were there in large num-
bers and the Democrats and Republicans,
who have left their parties to cling to the
silver standard, were just as enthusiastic in
the cause as those who had been Peoples
party men for years.
After the usual convention routine of
committee appointments the Conference
Committee recommended that NOMINATIONS
be made from the, following list that of
Presidential electors being the exact num-
Der requisite, but several dual recommends
tions were made for the State ticket They
are as follows:.
Presidential Electors, j. G. Higley, of
Weld county; j. g. Berry, Montrose; Hugh
Wyatt, of Lake; Sllas Hanchett, OF Clear
Creek. For Governor, Julius Thompson,
county. Lieutenant Governor, D. h.
Nichols, of Boulder. Secretary of State,
Chris Wilson, of Pueblo. o. o. McAleese,
of Pueblo Auditor, H. II. M. Gooni-
countz, of Montezuma; Alfred Durene, OF
Fremont. Treasurer, H. H. Nwood, of
Summit; Albert Nance, of Arapahoe. At
torney General, Eugene Engly, OF La
Platte; John Croxton, of Arapahoe.
The reading of the list caused quite dis
cussion. Delegate Childs, of Ell Paso
county, said that he did not know how to
vote for the candidates. Herbert George, of
Arapahoe county, said that there were
two candidates named by the Joint
Committee who were not Peoples
party men and he asked for an adjourn
ment to consider the matter. Other mo-
tions were made to adjourn in order that
the work of the committee might be con-
sidered, and finally an adjournment was
taken until tomorrow.

That California is still the home of the
romantic and unexpected was emphasized in
the recent launch at midnight of the big
Pacific mail steamship Peru, at the Union
Iron Works, San Francisco. The glare of
the electric lights, the yellow flicker of the
workmen's torches, the din of hammering,
the crowds of spectators wandering
about the yards and the vessel, all COM
bined to make the scene memorable &C.

The Peru is the biggest ship ever launched
upon the Pacific coast, and the event marks
an epoch in the history of the development
of shipbuilding there. The vessel is 345
feet long, As feet beam and 20 feet deep,
with gross tonnage of $500. 1t is stated
that as many as GOO men were working upon

A Western Bully W no w as biuueu Dy -
Consumptive Stranger.
Chicago Tribune.l
"a few years ago bully known as Big
Mike was the terror of Southern Wiscon-
sin" said Patrick O,Farrell ut the L1ndell.
sBig Mike was monarch of all he surveyed
and his rights there were none to dispute.
Janesville, Beloit and Waukesha were his
tavorite haunts He was always spelling
for fight, and as he stood six feet six and
was put up like Hercules, nobody cared
to accommodate him, and, like Arkansaw
in Mark Twain's o'ertrue tale, he travelled
chiefly on his bluff and bad looks. One
night Mike was in a Waukesha saloon kept
by German with the patriotic name of
Yankee. Mike was hungry for trouble. He
insulted everybody present, imposed on the
bartender and made himself disagreeable
nuisance generally. Presently tall, gaunt,
consumptive looking chap drifted in. He
looked as though good stiff breeze would
blow him away. He lounged up to the bar
and in a voice sweet and deferential as that
of a bashtul school girl, called for brandy
and soda. Nike staggered up to him and
announced his intention to drink at the
strangers expense. The latter paid no at
tention to him, swallowed his frewater and
turned away. Mike became abusive. He
followed him about the room, cursing him
and making pugilistic demonstrations
Finally the consumptive-looking stranger
turned and sweetly said: MY Christian
friend, you appear to be yearning for a
thrashing. Be kind enough to give me
your address and 1 will send you home to
your family when get through with you.
He handed Mike note book and pencil
and carefully removed his coat. The cool
audacity of the stranger paralyzed Mike.
He tried to eraw-fsh, but the stranger
wouldn't have it. I've heard of you for
two years past and came to Waukesha
especially to whip the insolence out of you,'
he said, and right here we mix But they
didn't Mike made break for the door,
and has not been in Waukesha since. 1t
was q beautiful bluff The thin stranger
could not have hurt him with hammer.
He died two weeks later of consumption.

The Largest of Its Kind In Germany to BE
Built ut Bremen.
Philadelphia Record.i
The rapid development of the German
ocean carrying trade has led to important
dock improvements along the coast OF the
North Sea and the Baltic. The most ex-
tensive Of these is that to be made by the
city of Bremen, where it is desired to Sc
cure easy access to the new Kaiser Dock at
Bremerhaven.
This work will be the largest undertaking
OF its kind in Germany. The dock will be
656 feet long, 80 feet wide, and "a feet deep.
1t will cost about 81, 100000, of which the
city is to pay 100000 and the general
government the remainder. The great diff
Guilty and expense of the works arise from
the fact that good holding ground for the
foundations can only be found 20 to 20 feet
below the future floor Of the dock.

NEW DEFINITION OF MAN.
He Is Distinct From Other Animals Only
by His Ability to Gamble.

He Is Distinct From Other Animals Only
by His Ability to Gamble.
San Francisco Chronicle.l
Starting with the proposition that man is
an animal, there have been many attempts
to define or explain what kind of animal
man is-tba. is to make an exhaustive de-
fnation, and one which shall completely
differentiate man from every other animal.
Plato defined man as "a two-legged animal
without feathers" but Diogenes ruined his
definition forever by taking chicken and
stripping the feathers from it and exhibited
it as Plato's man. 1t evidently will not do
to classify man as the animal that laughs,
for we are familiar with the laughing hyena
and with horse laugh, to say nothing of
grin of the Cheshire cat Nor, on the other
hand, is man the animal that cries, else why
should we read of crocodile tears?
The faculty of reasoning annot be claimed
for man alone. 1t has been sought to define
man as the fre-using animal, but this is not
exact enough for a definition. Nor will the
definition of man as the tool-using animal be
any more satisfactory. Many kinds of ami
mails, birds especially, use tools with great
skill.
But there is one definition of man to which
DO exception can be taken, and in which he
stands solitary and alone. Man is the gam
bling animal. He alone of all the animal
Kingdom submits the decision of question
to the arbitrament of chance and tempts fate
by an appeal to what ne calls luck. Search
as we may, we shall find no other animal
that CANDLES.
Here, then, is the long-sought definition
of man, and one in which no flaw can be
found. 1t may not be particularly gratify-
ing to mankind that it should be compelled
to be confined to such a definition, but
scientific accuracy cannot be sacrificed to
mere prejudice or personal feeling. Man is
the animal that CANDLES, and that is all
there is to b. said about it.
