Destruction of Birds.

The English Society for the pro-
lection of birds has published a
book on the various birds which
have become extinct in England,
from which it appears the senseless
slaughter of rare species is no
modern habit. AS long ago as
1878 Sir Thomas Browne wrote of
some rare birds of his time that
they .are shot by fowlers, not for
their meat, but for the handsome
ness of the same" Even since
that date, and probably before it
the same wholesale destruction has,
been going on, with the result that
the 400 species of British birds
which are mentioned in some of
the monumental works upon the
subject are now reduced to 200.
The aushor Of the book, in COM
menting on this fact, says it is
more regretable in that the hand
soonest species are the first doomed,
and "if the process continues we
shall in no long time be left with
only the dullest-plumed varieties.
Perhaps the New Zealander, when
he arrives upon our shores, will be
greeted only by the sparrow" He
laments that tthere is no room in
these islands for a Yellowstone
Park, where rare animals such as
the bison may find a refuge from
the greed or folly of mankind" and
attributes the real difficulty to the
collector, who, as species grow rare,
offer higher and higher prices for
specimens to put in his cabinet.
A similar senseless defamation is
going on in this country, and un-
less the protection we are thus late
in the day trying to afford the
buffalo be given to our feathered
tribes, the material FOR volume
on "Lost American Birds" will
soon be forthcoming.-Ex.

POstOfGee Rules.

The following general rules are
published for the information of
the public.
When you call at the postoffice
for your mail, and the postmaster
hands it out ask him il that is all.
If you ask for mail and he tells
you there is none, tell him there
ought to be; then go home and
send the rest of the family around
to ask through the day.
Don't bring the mail to the office
until the mail closes, then fight the
postmaster for not unlocking the
mail bag and putting your letters
in.
When you want a stamp on
your letter, tell the postmaster to
put it on; if he don't lick it you
lick him. In case you put the
stamp on yourself, or on the letter
we mean, soak it in your mouth
long enough to remove the mucil-
age; it will then stick until it is
dry.
Be snre to ask the postmaster to
credit You for stamps; if he has any
accommodation about him at all he
will do it. If you have a box,
stand and drum on it until the
postmaster hands out your mail;
it makes him feel good, especially
II he is waiting OH some one else.

Nominated on the Third Ballot i'm
San Francisco.

San Francisco. Aug. s4-When dark
ness closed upon the fourth day of the
Democratic state convention, a plat
form had been adopted, a state COM
mittee appointed, and candidate for
governor nominated, but nothing
more.
The entire morning and afternoon
was consumed in the selection of a
state central committee, and the
naming of a candidate for governor.
For governor four candidates were
placed in the field. They We're Barney
Murphy, of San Jose, ex-state senator:
eX-Congressman James II. Budd, of
Stockton: Congressman James c. Ma
guire, and Dennis Spencer, of Napa,
who has long been prominent in state
politics
Murphy and Budd proved the strong
er candidates. and throughout all the
balloting were evenly matched, al
most dividing the strength of the con-
lvention.
Mcguire, who was next in point of
strength, at no time received over
leighty-four votes.
Budd was nominated on the third
ballot. which resulted as follows:
Budd. 1886, Murphy, 26s; Mcguire, 10;
Spencer, 20; scattering, IL.
Budd received sixty votes more than
were necessary to nominate.
At 2:30 o'clock the convention adj
liourned until 1880 tonight.

o'clock. William Z. Jeter, of Santa
Cruz. was nominated for lieutenant

ted for secretary of state.

1rs nusINEss ENDED.
Senators Are Already Leaving For
Their Homes.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Today ended
the executive business in the Senate
Tonight, tomorrow and Sunday senator's
will be leaving in all directions. The
senators who were recalled on what
Democrats thought was the party ex-
pediency have left the city again or
will have departed before Monday. Sem
ator Harris recognized that further
legislation was out of the question, and
when the Senate was doing business
behind closed doors, he had the order
directing the sergeant-at-arms TO COM
pei the attendance OF absent senators
reScinded.
On Monday when the Senate meets
there will be little or nothing done
except to confirm nominations, to which
there is no objection, and an early ad-
journment to meet again on Tuesday
for the final adjournment.
In neither house will there be any
thing like a quorum on the two eXecu-
tive days yet remaining Of the second
session of the Fifty-third Congress.
IF possible, the Senate wore a more
deserted aspect than on yesterday, de-
spite the fact that one Republican (Hig-
gins and two Democrats Camden and
Butler) had returned. George obtained
indefinite leave of absence for his col
league, McLauren, on account of Seri-
Gus illness in his family.
Harris, without testing the presence
of a quorum, moved that the Senate
proceed to consideration of executive
business. This was agreed to.
After the executive session, the Sem
ate adopted the House resolution for
adjournment on Tuesday.

TO RELIEVE MRS. STANFORD.
Steps to Be Taken Looking to n
Speedy Settlement of the Govern
ment's Claims.


Speedy Settlement of the Govern
ment's Claims.
Washington, Aug. 24.-There is
possibility that steps may be taken by
Congress early next session to relieve
Mrs. Stanford as speedily as may be,
of the embarrassment placed in the
way of a settlement Of Senator Stan
ford's estate by Attorney-General Oh
ney's claim against it on behalf or
the government, or the Pacific railroad
debt.
a new method of procedure, hereto
fore not contemplated, has been out
lined al the suggestion Of Representa-
tive Mcguire of California, who has
advocated the enforcement OF claims
against the personal estates OF the TOUR
great directors of the Pacific railroads,
and he has been one of the strongest
opponents of any plan for any extern
sion of their debt. The proposition,
briefly stated, is to authorize Mrs.
Stanford to bring suit against the
United States and thus cause an imme-
date adjudication of the governments
suit. Under this proposed method of
procedure, Mrs. Stanford would become
the plaintiff and the government the
defendant for the purpose of the suit.
So long as the government suit is
pending, the trustees of the state can
not make a distribution, and the funds
of the Leland Stanford, jr., university,
are in a certain measure affected.
In the regular course of litigation,
the attorney generals proposed suit
could not be tried, until the bonds of
the road on which default Of payment
is inevitable. have matured.
Senator Hill, however, introduced a
bill recently to require the prompt pros
ecution and speedy determination of
the claim of the United States against
the estate of the late Leland STAN
ford which would make it the duty OF
the encouragement of the United
States to cause to be instituted in the
circuit court for the district of Califor-
MIA such suits as may be necessary to
enforce the claim, directing the court
| to give such suits precedence over all
others, and also directing the attorney
general to first prosecute the claim in
the state court if that may be neces-
sary.
When Representative Culberson,
| chairman of the judiciary committee,
| brought the bill up in the House yes
Iterday, Representative Mcguire side
tracked it by an objection to its con-
sideration. Mr.. Mcguire says he OBJ
| jected to the bill because it was loosely
drawn. Afterwards he told Mr.. Gull
berson that he would draw a bill under
which the same OBJECT might be &C
complished partially. The Mcguire bill
will enable Mrs. Sanford to bring suit
against the United States in the United
States circuit court of California to de-
termine the validity of the claim. 1t
will contemplate a suit of the same
character as the proceedings in equity
which a real estate holder might insti-
tute to quit title against party who
asserted a title to his land.
| Mr. Map1lire will DrOhahlv NOT intro
duce the bill himself, but says he will
see that the measure offered is ars iron
clad one in its protection of the govern
ment'S interests
