Union sentinels who walk ed slowly to aad fro

They were then too young to fly, and he has
kept them since in a wire-screened cage in

1t was only few days ago that any ore was
able to classify them. The birds have white,
heart-shaped faces, legs like a chicken. claws
like hawk. plumage like a pheasant, and wings
that resemble the eagle in spread. The face has
something OF the expression OF the monkey.
They are fierce and untameable, and hiss loudly
when approached.

David W. Cheever. emeritus professor Of surgery
in the Harvard Medical School. said on the wit
ness stand that In his opinion DR.. BiRelow was
the greatest surgeon that America had ever pro-
duccd. The plaintiff In this case Is like Madeline
Pollard in that she was obscure before the suit
brought her into EotOricty. She Is Miss Mary
T.. Bartlett of Walden. the daughter Of n farmer,
and she IL now j years old.
The story NJ the first meeting of Dr. Blgelow
and Miss Bartlett was almost a repetition Of
that told in the famous Washington case. DR..
Bigclow was very much older than the woman,
she being only 25 years of age when they first
met, AMI he being 81. lie saw her first In II
public conveyance. ms Congressman Breckin-
ridge first saw Miss Pollard, and, like the Ken
lucky orator. he contrived to secure an acquaint-
ance without the formnlity Of an introduction.
She daazled by his brliancy and position
Miss Pollard was dazZled by Breckinridge's,
and she visited him frequently AZ his house.
Here. however, the similarity ends except that
she claims promise of marriage FROM him; for
there has been no allegation of improper rela-
tons between them, at least not thus far. 1t
is claimed that DIR. Bigelow promised
not only to marry Miss Bartlett but
also in consideration OF her agreeing to post
pone the date OF the wedding. TO give her

MALONE Oct. e0.-The betting amendment 10
the Constitution ss proposed by the Constltu-
tonsl Convention will have the almost unani-
NOUS support Of people in franklin county, both
Republicans and Democrats. The general SEN
tlment Of this community has always been
strongly opposed TO gambling or betting in any
shape or form. THE SUN correspondent inter-
viewed many prominent people, representing
both political parties, and found only a single
individual who was against the proposed amend
ment aud he IL greatly interested In trotting
stock. The clergy and Church people are
strongly In favor Of II, and say that with proper
penalties for violations It will do large amount
Of good in all parts Of the State.
The county agricultural society. which holds
. fair In September Of each year, has for the
last ten years vigorously excluded all games Of
chance and gambling in every form from its
grounds and this action has always had the
steadfsst support Of the people here. There will
be . sweeping majority for the amendment from
this county next November.

In the last issue of the Adrian
Democrat, Mr.. Schaefer (of course)
has long article anent the tariff
his favorite topic. He evidently has
an exalted opinion of the intelligence
of the readers of that paper. He says
that eggs, since the duty of 5 cents
per dozen was placed upon them,
have steadily decreased in price. He
says the average price of eggs during
1883 "a free trade Year, was II! cents
per dozen, and that in 1898, with a
protection duty of 5 cents, they were
reduced to II cents per dozen. Why a
man who brushes into print at every
opportunity should deliberately fafsi-
fy as Mr.. Schaefer docs is astonish
ing. What can he hope to gain by
printing such stupid, barefaced false
hoods? The truth is during 1898 egg
were higher that they have been for
years-not once in the city market
did they get below 20 cents, and for
some time in Chicago and New York
were readily sold at 80 to IS per doz-
en-. Even in country towns, eggs av-
eraged for the year more than Is cts.
per dozen. People take little or no
stock in Mr.. Schaefer's ''arguments."
He is SO wrapped up in democracy
that he is blind to the truth, and
deals in fabrications, which at once
stamp him as weak and dishonest.
