nrtlnction of the nl.nn.

In a wild state the American bison.
or buffalo, is practically, though not
quite wholly, extinct. At the present
moment there are about 200 Wild buff
faloes alive and on foot in the United
States. To obtain these high figures
we include the $50 individuals that the
white head-hunters and red meat
hunters have thus far left alive in the
Yellowstone Park, where the buffaloes
are fondly supposed to be protected
from slaughter. Besides these, there
are only two other lunches; one of
about twenty head in Lost Park, Col,
protected by state laws; and another,
containing between thirty and forty
head, In Val Verde county, Tex, be-
tween Devils river and the Rio
Grande.
-Four years ago there were over 800
head In the Yellowstone Park, thriving
and increasing quite satisfactorily.
Through them we fondly hoped the
species would even yet be saved from
absolute extinction. But, alas! we
were reckoning without the poacheTs.

men and Indians who surround the
park on all sides, eager TO kill the last

Besides the places mentioned, there
Is only one other spot in all North
America that contains wild buffaloes.
Immediately southwestward Of Great
Slave lake there lies vast wilderness
Of swamps and stunted pines, into
which no white man has ever pene-
trated far, and where the red man still
reigns supreme. 1t is bounded Oh the
north by the Lard and Mackenzie
rivers, on the east by the Slave river
on the south by the Peace river, and
on the west by the Rocky mountains.
Mr.. Warburton Pike says it is now the
greatest beaver country ia the world.
and that il also contains a few bands
OF the so-called wood buffalo. some
times they are heard Of at Forts Smith
and Yermilion, sometimes at Fort st.
John, on the Peace river, and occa-
sionally at Fort Nelson, on the Lizard;
but il Is impossible TO say anything
about their numbers" AT all events,
In February, 1890, Mr.. Pike found
eight buffaloes only four days travel

lake. and succeeded in killing one. The
Canadian authorities estimate the to-

by the church, and at first the elective | franchise was limited to church mem bers We have changed all that, but in New Haven secular and religious mat ters need not be opposed while church and state keep their harmonious course in parallels.
 Outside the nine original squares we have also many suggestive names: Day- enport, Lamberton, Goffe, Whalley, Dix well, Hillhouse, TrumbuIl, Whitney, with qtbers that make up an epitome of our History if anyone has brains to enough to read it.
 Why change any of the good, old names? Things antique are not neces- sarily moldy. And when names have become crystallized facts why need they be split up to please those who are ig- norant of their value? We should not give up Church street. The decided an- gle Congress avenue makes with Church street clearly defines it's boundary; the slighter angle at the Junction of Church street and Whitney avenue sets the bounds over which neither ought to pass. Not that the name Whitney might not give some dignity to Con- gress avenue, but it is a rule that works only one way. And Church street does not need any borrowed honors. Fossil bly, Congress avenue would like to seize upon Temple street. It joins Congress avenue at the same angle as does Church street, and runs straight CT course into Whitney avenue. The same argument that applies to Church street applies as well to Temple, save for the want of connection by a street car line. And if a continuous thorough fare must be known by only one name, why should not Grand avenue lay claim to Elm street Broadway, Whalley ave- nue and Fountain street. insisting that the road from Fair Haven East to Woodbridge should be known as Grand avenue? One proposition is no more ridiculous than the other. Now, may heaven help those people who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, and having minds consider not. Thus prayeth HILARY.
