DECIDED TO STAY.

The Manifestation of the Good Will

From the Chicago Tribune.
The popular citizen had made arrange
ments to go into business in another town.
He had sold his property, packed mis- house
hold goods and everything was in readi-
ness for his removal.
His friends got farewell dinner for
him. The tables groaned, etc. The viands
were sumptuous. The champagne was
abundant, md after it began to circulate
there was a flood of oratory. The speech
es were all to the effect that the loss the
community was about to sustain was ir-
reparable. The speakers dwelt upon the
gcCd qualities of their friend, his many
excellent traits of character, his genial,
companionabe ways, and all took occasion
to express their deep sense of personal
bereavement on account of his contem-
plated removal. Then they sang
For he's a jolly good fellow,
Which nobody can deny"

she added, laughing, that full long beard

AFTER THE BUCKET SHOPS
District Attorney Birnsy Will Test the
Law.
He Directs That. q Warrant BE Sworn
Out Under the General Act
Against Gambling.

District Attorney BirEey, believing that
the average bucket shop is nothing more
or less, as ordinarily conducted, than a
gambling house, proposes to have the Ques-
ton judicially determined, And, if his po-
sition is s1steined by the courts, Mr.. Bir-
ney will prosecute the owners or managers
of all such concerns in the District under
the laws fgainst gambling.
To Star reporter Mr.. Birney stated this:
afternoon that he had this morning direct
ed that q warrant be sworn out in the Po-
lice Court against Koppel Kurnitzki, said
to be the manager Of a bucket shop on F
between 18th and 14th streets, charging
MIR. Kurnitzki with setting up and main
taining gaming table.
Bucket Shops and Pool Rooms.
Mr.. Birney explained that he would con-
tend that the average bucket shop, where
money passes on the fluctuations in the
prices Of stocks, Is as much a gambling
place as a pool room or race track betting
ring where money passes on the results Of
horse races. Judge Cole. said Mr.. Birney,
had ruled In the case Of Fred Miller, who
conducted bookmaking at the +Benning race
track last December, that the laws here
against gaming made it unlawful to set up
or maintain in the District any table, con-
trivance or device at which money could
be wagered. That decision of Judge Cole
the district attorney stated. the Court of
Appeals had affirmed, and Judge Coles in
depreciation of the laws here against gam
ing, therefore. stands as the unquestioned
law of the District
Mr.. Birney stated further that in his
opinion the average bucket shop, If con-
Quoted as he had been given to understand,
Is established solely for gambling purposes.
In fact, ho said, there appeared to him
but little, If any, difference between them
and pool rooms in that respect, and, as
complaints of that character had been
made to him, he proposed to put stop to
all of them. provided. of course, the facts
and the courts sustained him.

One of the most eminent musi-

abroad. Wherever the violin is
known the name of Theodore
Thomas has been heard.
Mr.. Thomas has Just celebrated
his golden Jubilee as Musical Di-

that it is hard to equal.

Eggs That Cost Money,

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The California condor-a bird with a
sweep of wing ten feet from tip to tip, and
the largest bird of flight in the world, not
excepting the great Andes condor-is spe-
cies of much interest to biologists from the
extreme rarity and value of its eggs. This
condor is becoming extinct, like the great
aux; and, as If it had a forecast of its i'm
pending DOOM it resorts to the most pre-
cipitous mountain, where, on some craggy
and perhaps inaccessible Steep it deposits
its single egg of pale. greenish blue in
cave. But seven eggs are known in collec-
tions, and the value of one considering the
probability of the great birds early extinc-
sion is very great. More than 81 800 has
been paid for a single egg of the great aux.
of which there are sixty-eight eggs in ex-
istence. America can claim two-one at
Vassar College and one at the Academy of
Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The lat
ter collection held for many years among
the rarities an egg of the California condor
but it mysteriously disappeared a few years
ago. and it is supposed some scientific
kleptomaniac thought it 70 sin to transfer
the treasure to his own collection, where
he is holding it for rise in price.

1t Will Probably Not BE Heard Until

Counsel on both sides in the case which

trymen in st. Marks Episcopal Church last
spring have been endeavoring for the past
several days to obtain an immediate hear
ing in the Equity Court, but it seems now
that the case can hardly be heard before

The case was placed on the calendar Of
Equity Court No. 2. but Judge Hagner. who
holds that court, certified it to Equity

The case was originally heard by Chief
Justice Bingham last summer. but when

days ago so many cases had already been
set down for hearing that it could not be

Star reporter this afternoon that, COM

weeks at least and he, therefore, feared
that the church case could not be heard

Endurance of the Reindeer.

From the London Spectator.
Mr.. F. G. Jackson has marvellous tales to
tell of the reindeer, their speed and endur-
ance as animals of draft-so marvellous, in
deed, that he must forgive us for suggest
ing that he has made a mistake in his fig
ures. Il have myself" he writes, 'driven
three reindeer a distance of 12O versts
within twelve hours without feeding them,

three deer from Ishma, on the Pechora
river, to Obdorsk, on the Obi, distance of
800 versts. within twenty-four hours.%
A reindeer or Samoyed verst. by the way.
is equal to four Russian verstS." In other
words, Mr.. jackson says he has driven
three deer for twelve hours at the rate of
forty Russian verSts, or twenty-Seven En-
glish miles, an hour. And the Zirian, with
a similar team, covered 10 miles in twenty
four hours. The latter, by the way, must
have crossed the Ural mountains and one or
two rivers in the bargain. surely there
must be some mistake There exists. it is

Nearly F1nlSheU Dy q scorpions sung.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
]. E. Wooley, a well-known young man
of Los Angeles, living at 52S South Broad
way, is recovering from a scorpions bite
which nearly cost him his life. He is a
miner, and had been in Death Valley. On
Sunday afternoon he was lying on a cot
in the cabin when he felt a paralyzing
sting on his hand, and. looking. saw that a
desert scorpion, six and a half inches long,
had fallen on his hand and had sunk his
sting between the first and second fingers.
Wooley killed the reptile and tried to
suck the poison from the wound. He then
called his partner, who put tourniquet
about his wrist and cut out the wound.
Despite all efforts his hand and arm
swelled to such an extent that the veins
burst, but Notwithstanding his agony
Wooley mounted broncho and rode sixty
miles to the nearest doctor, where anti
septics were administered He then came
to Los Angeles.
Here a consulta ton of doctors was held,
and all agreed that they could not under
stand why the patient had not died within
two hours of the sting. They found it
necessary, however, to add to his torture
by laying bare the bones of his hand and
scraping them.

Their Path Now Made Easy-The Re.
quirements for Success.
The woman physician no longer finds her
path thorny in England. Mrs Garrett An
derson, NJ. D., has been writing for the
British Journal on the status and oualifi-
cations of woman practitioners and she
shows that their hardest days are over,
Her first statement is that it is as easy at
this moment for a woman to get a COM
plete medical education in Great Britain as
1t Is for man. the course of education and
tine necessary expenditure being practically
the same In both cases; the same examina-
ions must he passed, and the same qualifi-
cations and diplomas must be obtained hy
individuals Of either sex. Some of the ex-
amining bodies, such as the Royal College
of Surgeons in England, do not admit wo-
men to examination, but even with them
there is no direct opposition. and hours are
set apart at the museum of the college
solely for the convenience Of women stu
dents The degrees of the universities of
London. Durham, Ireland, Edinburgh,
Glasgow and st. Andrews, and the medical
colleges of Edinburgh. Glasgow and Ire
land, and the license of Apothecar.es' Hall
are now open to women, who are prepared
for examination in many medical schools,
some Of which are open for women only

Dry Ball Bearings.

From the American Machinist.
A rider who does not believe in oiling bi-
cycle bearings writes as follows: When We
have load to move, such as heavy piece
of machinery, on a floor. we find by placing
a few 1ollers underneath that much less
power is required. but would anything be
gained by greasing the rollers? 1 have
never tried it, but l imagine that the result
would be such a collection of dirt as would
at once discourage the practice. 1t is true
that there is slight rubbing friction in a
ball bearing of one ball against the next,
as their surfaces run in opposite directions,
but the pressure between them is so slight
that wearing or cutting is not likely to oc-
cur when no oil is used. l prefer to run
my ball bearings dry.

The Lawyers Wit Won the Case for
Him.
From the New York Sun.
Some gray-haired lawyer-poiiticians sat
in an uptown hotel talking over their
early experiences. The conversation was
opened by the man from up the state re-
marking:
Il see that old Dennis Keeny has just
died up in my native town. He was one OF
the last of the old-style lawyers who relied
for winning theil cases not on their knowl-
edge of law, but on their acquaintance with
human nature. He was one of the best
specimens Of the class, too. Stories Of his
retorts and witty sayings are told all over
his own and the adjoining counties.
''The first time 1 ever heard him was in
the case Of man who was on trial for
shooting into party that had come to
horn him, form of country celebration
that you have probably heard about.
Keeny appeared for the defendant. 1t was
ing was done was loaded with dried peas.
instead of lead. Finally. a very dirty
looking witness was called, and testified
that he had been shot in the right leg. On
rather shifty, and finally Keeny asked him
to show the jury the exact spot where the
peas took effect. The fellow demurred.
saying that the shooting had been done
healed. At last, with great reluctance, the
witness drew up his right trousers leg. ex-
posing a limb well covered with dirt.
Pointing to a spot which. If possible, was
blacker than the rest, the witness said:
There: that's where they went in.
'Keeny turned to the jury, and in his
most impressive manner said:
Gentlemen, 1 leave it to your knowl-
edge of crops: If peas had been planted In
that soil six weeks ago they would be In
blossom now'
''The witness retired in confusion. and
Keeny won his case"

JOINED THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Street Railway Men of WashfngtOI
Entered the Order.


Entered the Order.
The Street Railway Protective Union at
their meeting last night voted to unite
with the knights Of Labor. President
Thomas J. Lawrence became master work
man of the Street Railway Protective AS
sembly, by which name the union will here
after be known.
Members of the new assembly today
stated that the object in taking this step
was to be able to make stronger fight in
case they should have to engage in strike
with the Anacostia or any other railway
company. The assembly also voted to re-
sist a reduction of wages on the Anacostia
line. and will take no further action in the
matter unless President Griswold makes
an aggressive move in that direction.
Master Workman Lawrence said today in
reply to questions from Star reporter
that Mr.. Griswold can take off as few
or as many cars as he likes and the union
will not take any notice of the matter,
but IL he orders a reduction of pay the
Anacostia men will be ordered to strike.
President Griswold, when seen by Star
reporter reiterated his statements that
he is willing to pay sl.25 per day for twelve
hours work and keep all his force on duty,
but that he will not continue to pay s1.50
without taking a number of the cars off.
