A QUAlL'S NEST.
How It Was Found and Whist IL Cen.
talned.


Now It Was Found and What II Cen
tained.
After we had inspected the young
hawks neighbor of mine offered to
conduct us to quail's nest. Any
thing in the shape of a nest is always
welcome. 1t is such mystery. such
. center of interest and affection, and
If upon the ground is usually some
something so dainty and exquisite
amid the natural wreckage and con-
fusion. A ground nest seems so ex-
posed, too, that it always gives little
thrill of pleasurable surprise to see
the group of frail eggs resting there
behind so slight a barrier. / will
walk long distance any day just to
sec song sparrOw's nest amid the
stubble or under tuft of grass. 1t
is jewel in rOsette Of jewels. with
. frill of weeds or turf
A quail's nest l had never seen,
says writer in St. Nicholas, and to
DO shown one within the hunting
ground of this murderous hawk would
b . double pleasure. Such quiet,
secluded. grsss-grown highway as We
moved along was itself a rare treat.
Ssquestered was the word that the
little valley suggested, and peace the
feeling the road evoked. The farmer
whose fields lay about us half grown
with weeds and bushes, evidently did
not make stir or noise enough to dis
turb anything. Beside this rustic
highway, bounded by old messy stone
walls and within a stones throw Of
the farmers barn the quail had made
her nest. 1t was just under the edge
of . PROSTATE thorn bush.
THE nest is right there" said the
farmer, pausing within ten feet of it
and pointing to the spot with his
stick.
In a moment or two we could make
out the mottled brown plumage Of
the sitting bird. Then we ap-
preached her cautiously till we bent
above her.
She never moved a feather.
Then put my cane down in the
brush behind her, We wanted to
see the eggs. yet did not want rudely
to disturb the sitting hen.
She would not move.
Then put down my hand within a
few inches of her; still she kept her
place. Should we have to lift her of
bodily?
Then Miss E. put down her hand.
probably the prettiest and whitest
hand the quail had ever seen. At
least it startled her, and off she
sprang, uncovering such a crowded
nest of eggs as had never before be-
held. Twenty-one of them! ring or
disk of white like china tea saucer.
You could not help saying how pref
ty, how cunning, like a baby hens
eggs, as if the bird were playing at
sitting as children play at house
keeping.
If had known how crowded her
nest was, should not have dared dis
turb her, for fear she would break
some of them. But not an egg suf-
fered harm by her sudden flight, and
no harm came to the nest afterward.
Every egg Matched, was told. and
the little chicks hardly bigger than
bumble-bees, were led away by the
mother into the fields.

THOUSANDS ON A Strike
The Big Exposition Is Not Likely
to Open May
IF THE STRIKE SHOULD LAST
Disposition Shown BY Worlds FAN
Officials to Deny What Had AL
ready Been Conceded

CHICAGO, April 10-At the most crit
ical time possible for the Worlds fair,
the big exposition today encountered
its first great strike. A thousand union
men in various building trades quit
work, with the prospect that 1900 more
might Join them before night. 1t was
the elimination of much controversy
over what is claimed to be an agree
ment between the Worlds fair officials
and representatives of union labor, by
which all disputes between employers
and employees on the exposition work
should be settled by arbitration. The
men contend that some exposition Off
cials have recently shown disposition,
now that the fair is nearly completed,
to deny point blank anything asked,
and this has notably been the case in
carpenters troubles, which have been
pending some time. The exposition
authorities, it is alleged, declined to
sign the scale proposed by the carpen-
ters' union for the new reason, although
the majority of the large contractors in
the city had signed.

NEW ROAD LAW A GOOD ONE
SO Says Chairman Gillette of County
Commissioners
FAVOR BONDING COUNT
News of the Wharf, the Wave, the Rail
roads and Local Industries-A
Quiet Wedding

AT the meeting of the county COM
missioners yesterday they examined a
number Of quarterly reports of justices
of the peace and other officers, and
passed upon u number of claims.
The new road law has been received,
and Chairman Gillette is much pleased
with it, and he believes that it will re-
suit in the building Of an excellent sys-
TEN Of roads at reasonable price. The
prosecuting attorney is examining the
law, and will submit an opinion to the
board on some few points, after which
the question Of bonding the county will
be considered. Briefly one method
provided by the new law for road build
ing, and which seems 10 be excellent,
provides that ia laying out road from a
city, one-sixth Of the cost shall be ASSESS
ed 10 the city, two-sixths to the county,
one-sixth 10 the land through which
the road runs, on each side for "a dis
tance of two miles from the road. and
two-sixths 10 the township through
which the road passes. The city from
which the road starts, however, shall
not he assessed for more than ten miles
of the road.
Another method is by direct taxation,
payable in one year, but this plan Is
considered impracticable, as it would
prove too burdensome; another Is by
annual assessments for term of years
not to exceed ten, but only the amount
assessed each year can be expended dur
that year. For instance, 1t is decided
under this plan to raise 100000, one
tenth only Of that sum can be expended
each year, or $4,000 per year.
The commissioners incline td the
belief that the former plan is best, as
under it a road fund can be created and
used to the beet possible advantage,
enly, however, as needed

MONTREAL, April IO-James J. Cor

who have been here playing Gentle
man Jack came near being mobbed
by an indignant crowd of cabmen on
Saturday evening before they left for
Buffalo, but escaped, as the cabmen
were not allowed in the railway sta
ton. The indignation arose from the
i'll treatment which one Of their num-
ber, +. La Lamonde, suffered at Cor
bett and Brady's hands on Friday
afternoon in and outside the Windsor
hotel. Both had engaged the coach
man TO drive them around town In the
morning, and during the trip drinks
were partaken of. The result was the
coachman got half full, and when he
drove the pair back to the hotel at 2
o'clock, Corbett and Brady refused to
pay him on the ground that the coach
man was drunk. The coachman, who
is a small man, followed them into the
rotunda of the hotel and said: 81 don't
give a continental whether you are
Corbett or any other fellow, but want
my money" Corbett, for reply,
picked him up by the neck and kicked
him out Of the hotel. Brady then
thought he would have his share of it.,
and went out on the sidewalk and
started TO give the man that Corbett
kicked, second dose. He reckoned
without his host, for the driver was
giving Brady the worst Of 1t when
others interfered and parted them.

this morning he found himself lying
on the floor of his bedroom, which was
filled with smoke. The house was only

Guilty to the window and got out. This
was all he was able to say, and he
again became unconscious. Bassett' 5
trunk was found near the burned house,
broken up and rified of valuable papers.
The house was burned to the ground,
and i'm the ruins today was found a
iackknife covered with blood, which

formerly lived with Trynor, who was
found dead on Saturday, it is reported,
visited Bassett yesterday. Warrants
were issued for their arrest. Great ex-
element prevails.
