White Winged DIackbsrds.

The white winged blackbird consorting
with the red winged seems to have been
observed by too many persons to permit an
explanation on the mere theory of albino-
ism, extensively as that freak In "colora-
tion" among birds and animals is seen. A
correspondent of ours. who Is a good OBJ
server, makes an important statement
when he says the white winged specimens
are smaller than the red winged. That
circumstance would seem to indicate diff
ferent species. Possibly there is an error.
AT any rate, we will give the explanation
of an observer who has watched the phe-
nomenon of the white winged blackbird
with some persistence.
He says the white spot on the shoulders
or upper wing is due after all to the
curious effect of light reflected from q
ruddy surface when the wing is OF certain
angles. In other words, it Is a deception.
He claims to have followed this out and
proved it. 1t seems to be a fact that the
red place on the blackbirds wing does
change its appearance decidedly in certain
aspectsduring night; but we do not pre-
sens this theory rs conclusive explena-
ton of the appearance.-Hartford Times.

ROANOKE. VA, SEPTEMBER 81. 1899.
NEW YORK POLITICS.

Any doubt which may have existed as
to Gov HIPS intention to support the
national Democratic ticket was dis
pelled.by his straightforward and tellir G
speech at Brooklyn Monday night. 1t
was full of telling and characteristic
points, and impressed favorably the
leaders of the party, as we'll as the rank
and file who listened.
There need be no fear of Democratic
disaffection in the close States. The
ranks are closing rapidly and better
front is shown to-day than could have
been hoped for seven weeks ago, yet the
Presidential election is now but seven
weeks away.
The New York situation needs care
full and exact examination to fully show
the tactical advantages possessed by
the Democracy. In two particulars that
party has decidedly tho best of 1t. For
the first time all the inspectors in
! New York city will be Democrats.
Hitherto the Republicans had minority
representation, while in the State at
large the Republicans had partisan in
spection boards wherever they were in
the majority. ~
In the next place, the rural voter
will have to register before he can vote.
This is novel to them, and thousands
will fail to heed their obligations. The
Republicans will be the heaviest loosers
by this and their vote correspondingly
diminished.

bury In the same grave with herself the
two physicians who had attended to her
