BIRD SONG.


The gift of birdsong is largely mas
culine prerogative, an expression of
tender sentiment by which the affec-
ton of the opposite sex may be at
tfacted and retained. Indeed the birds
furnish no exception to the sweeping
assertion that "'tis love that gives the
key to all earths music" They sing
from love and happiness, says one;
from love and rivalry, another asserts;
while joy and buoyancy of spirits are
said by third authority to be answer
able for their music. That most of the
species sing best in the spring is well
known, the motive that is responsible
for the general outpour of song being
result of its influences; they are happy
to be at home again in the old haunts,
to be surrounded by plenty and to feel
the matchless sweetness of returning
springtime.
One of the most delightful of our
American essayists believes all birds to
be incipient or would be songsters then
that even the hen has q homely, con-
tented carol-and he credits the owl
with a desire to fill the night with
music. The light of love within the
little birds heart is brightest at that
season and overfows and illumines his
song; ''the language of passion keeps
time to the hearts rhythm" until the
full beauty of the flower of love is
reached in the thousands of beautiful
homes about us.
Undoubtedly they sing at times for
very joy, just as we go singing about
our work because our hearts are light
and happy and the song sings itself; we
have only to listen to it.

The noisy futtering which followed
told him the result, and he ran for his

his hand TO catch wounded quail he
was suddenly shocked TO discover an
enormous rattlesnake in the line of the
bird. The man, although weighing
nearly three hundred pounds, jumped
backward six feet from the brush, and
then gained his breath. He approached
the birds again, with his gun cooked
and ready fora sudden shot, and learned
that the snake was dead. When he

CUP DAY IN vic4oRlA.
The Great Event ia the CaiendaE. Of she
City of bTeIbaHrae,

fite Great Event IN the Calendar Of fhe
City of sEelhanras-
No one who has not visited ApssxSiiS
saH have any conception of the aatensst
which attaches to such race as the
Melbourne cup, which, with its sweep
stakes from the one hundred and forty
nine entries that were made in 1890, its
trophy of e150 value, and its added
money of $4,000, amounting altogether
to s13,0S0, is the most important money
contest in the world, says Sidney Dick
inson in Scribner's Magazine. On the
day of its occurance all business is sus-
pended by mutual consent throughout
Victoria, the banks and government
offices are all closed, and by twelve
o'clock the streets of Melbourne are as
silent and deserted as if the city were
stricken with a plague. For a week
before the event, the railway trains
from Sidney, to the number of seven or
eight in day. and all the intercolonial
and mail steamers from that city and
Adelaide, are taxed to their utmost ca
pacity, and the accommodations of Mel
bourne, as well as all the neighboring
towns, are taken up by the immense
concourse of visitors The facilities for
reaching Pennington are so good, how
ever, and the course itself so spacious
that even at the great race of the CEN
tennial year, when more than 100000
persons were upon the grounds, one
saw the event with perfect comfort, and
was transported to and from the course
without five minutes, waiting at either
end of the line The admirable temper
and sobriety of the great assembly are
largely responsible for such result.
During the four days meeting of 1883
only five arrests were made on the
grounds, and none of these was for seri-
Gus ofTenses. The crowd at an Aus
tralian race meeting is often rough in
appearance, but in orderliness and good
nature can hardly be excelled.

YALE-PRINCEToN GAME.
No Exhibition of Brutality Will b

No Exhibition of Brutality Will be
Permitted by the Police.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Police Superin-
tendent Byrnes announced to-day that
no exhibition of brutality would be per-
mitted at the Yale-Princeton football
game tomorrow. The Superintendent
said he would not allow the players to act
like lot of prize-iighters, and publicly
MAIN each other for life. The game will
be stopped at the first exhibition of bru-
tality.
Members of the football teams will get
no ofhclal notification rom Superintend-
ent Byrnes of his intention. The Super
lntendent argues if the players are brutal
they are aw-breakers and, therefore,
amenable to arrest. If action IS taken by
the police and resistance offered, the en-
thuslaSts at Manhattan field may witness
some wholesale arrests. 4 police official,
who expressed his opinion only as a citi-
zen, said it was his belief there was not
the slightest chance OF the game being in
terrupted and the Superintendent was
making 'grand-stand play"

Conflicting Stories as to the Shooting

Conflicting Stories as to the Shooting
of Whitehouse and RosenfeId.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 30.-Alexander
Lougnborough, who shot Louis White
house and Max Resented during a
drunken row last night, was to-day
charged with assault to murder on two
counts. He was released on bonds of
$1,000 for the Whitehouse shooting and
$1,000 for the Rosenfeld case.
From the conflicting stories told of the
affair. it is hard to fix the blame. Lough-
borough says he fired in self-defense, as
he was being badly beaten, and his ap-
pearance certainly shows that he was
roughly handled.
AS near as can be learned, Lough-
borough was shaking dice at the bar,
when one of the dice rolled on the floor.
He stopped to pick it up, when Rosen-
field pushed it out of the way with his
cane. Loughborough, who has a repu-
tatlon for lll-temper and quarrelsome-
ness, struck Rosenfeld in the face, and
The blow was returned with interest.
During the scuffle that ensued it is sur
missed that others in the crowd took a
whack at Loughborough, and it was then
that he did the shooting.
Both the wounded men will recover.

TRADE REVIEW.

improvement IN Business in Central
Western states.
NEW York, Nov. -Bradstreeps to-
morrow will say: There is no great or
radical Improvement in business at the
Southwest or Northwest, but in the Gen.
tral Western States, and particularly at
some Important cities in the Middle and
Northwestern States, the reverse is true,
a material gain in demand for many sea-
sonable staples having shown itself with
a corresponding increase in the volume
of goods distributed or orders for future
deliveries. This independent stimulus
to the trade in certain lines is due to ap-
preaching holidays, and in spite of the
check to the volume of general business
Within the week, caused by Thanksgiv-
ing holiday. A sharp revival in prices is
shown by quotations from some grades
of lumber. but more particularly for cot
ton, wheat, oats and lard improving
prices, the first two of which having had
an influence Tor good. Decreases in
prices of steel rails and bars, cattle, hogs,
Indian corn and naval stores are re-
ported, but quotations for structural
iron, rice, whisky, tobacco, pork, coffee
and sugar are steady. 1t should be ex-
planned that rails are now held at SD, the
lowest price on record.
At Chicago the pig-iron dealersiare try
ing TO force an advance, but at St. Louis
the market is without life and the price is
low. a stimulating influence OF purely
statl stlcal nature is the decrease of p,
100000 bushels OF wheat in the quantity
afioat for and in store for Europe last
week. thus nearly though not quite
overcoming the increase OF 2,12S, 600
bushels of wheat available in the United
States ana Canada last week.
Exports OF wheat (and flour as wheat)
both amounted to 1867. 900 bushels this
week, against $4,000 bushels last week,
2.4i0,000 bushels in the week one year
ago, 1888, 900 bushels i'll the last week of
November, 1892, and as compared with
1862, 900 bushels in that week>of 1891.
Speculation in the New York market
displays little response to the success of
the bond issue. the influence of the large
over-subscription being overcome by the
failure of foreign interests TO obtain any
considerable share of the new issue.

holes in his head, one over the heart and

Passers-by saw the desperate young
man place the revolver first to his right

never dazed him. He then put the re-
volver TO his forehead and again sent a
ball crashing through his skull. Yet he
stood his ground and, to the horror of the
pedestrians. again tried to shoot himself.
this time over the heart
The third shot had no more effect than
did the other two, so Koch, in a fit oi
anger and desperation, drew a razor
from his pocket and slashed his right
wrist. The sharp blade merely eraZed
the artery, but cut wound big enough
to cause the blood to squirt a distance ot
several feet and thoroughly saturate his
clothing. At the Receiving Hospital the
belief is expressed that be viii recover,
which is considered remarkable.
Despondency, caused by lack of means,
is the cause OF the attempted suicide.

Yesterday she attempted to hang herself
