County Commissioner Ayres came in
Sunday from his home on lower French
Greek TO meet with the board on Mon
day. MIR. Ayres brought with MIN a
very unique specimen found by his SOL
in the bad lands, which is a most per-
under the ordinary size. The specimen
is evidently of very ancient origin,
having passed the stage of petrifaction
and become fairly agatized. That it Is
an egg Of some kind there can be no
doubt, as a portion of the shell is still
adhering to it, but whether it be the
product of one of Noah's chickens, or of
ONE prehistoric bird, is a question we
submit to wiser heads than ours, as we
frankly confess that we have a decided
preference for something easier.
Samuel Scott, Of this city, who has for
q number of years been urging the nee.
essity Of the passage of a law by our
state legislature providing for the ex-
tinguishment of forest fires, has thus far
failed to impress legislators with the
Importance Of such a law. Mr.. Scott
realizes the almost incalculable loss sus-
tanned in the Hills from the destruction
of timber by fire, and comedies that no
further legislation for the prevention of
these fires is necessary, but does insist
that there should be Il law passed having
for its object the early extinguishment
Of the same, and to this end has re-
quested Mr.. Wilson, our representative
in the state senate, to introduce q bill
authorizing road overseers to call out
the citizens for the purpose Of putting
out at once all fires occurring in their
respective districts at the expense Of the
state. A letter received from Mr.. Will
son IN answer to Mr.. SCOTS request. is
favorable to the passage Of such law
and indicates a strong probability Of the
introduction of such Il bill in the legis.
lature at an early day.

The Board of Trade Asks Gov. O'Fer-

A meeting was held yesterday of the
board of trade committee of nine which
has under charge the consideration of the
manner in which the substantial and moral
interests of the District may be best re-
lieved of the dangerous influences exerted
upon them by the vicious gambling resorts
at Jackson City and Rosslyn, in Virginia.
Detectives Weldon and Horne were present
during the conference and told of many in
stances they knew of persons being robbed
in Jackson City and offering to turn over
to the committee all the evidence they had
of the viciousness across the river.
1t was decided, after consultation, to re-
quest Gov. OFerrall to name some definite
time when he could meet a committee from
the board of trade for the purpose of dis
cussing the question, and Secretary John
b. Wight dispatched a letter to the COVER
nor, asking for such appointment. When
Gov. O'Ferrall indicates his pleasure about
a date subcommittee of three members
of the committee of nine will be appointed

An American Consul Figures in a
POlyncsfan Romance.
A special from San Francisco to the
New York Tribune today says:
From Tahiti comes the news today that
]. Lamb Doty, American consul to the So
ciety Islands, has married a half-caste girl
and has set up housekeeping. The girl
boasts the name of Mueva Turnero Raurl,
and she is said to have brought a neat
dowry to her husband. She is only sixteen,
and Doty first met her few months ago
on the beach of neighboring island,
here she was trying to bring to shore her
capsZed canoe. Young Doty induced her
to elope to another island where he mar
ried her according to the simple native
formula, which merely requires that the
contracting parties eat together and make
number of pledges. No wedding ring
is required, no cake, no clergyman's fee
and no license When Doty returned to
Tahiti with his bride he rented house and
the pair are now living in South Sea Island
style, with a good stock of cocoanuts and
taro root. The girls guardian appeared
soon after they set up housekeeping and
wanted to take her back to his house,
but Doty showed him this would be un-
wise, and he consented to let her remain.
Young Doty was not of age when Cleve-
land appointed him consul at Tahiti nine
years ago. Since then he has been a South
Sea masher, for he has been engaged to
two island princesses, but in each case the
relatives prevented marriage. Doty is well
known here and in Washington, where he
has influential relatives. He was a bright
boy, who first started as a page in the
Seas he has developed many eccentrici-
