The Missing Birds.

The bluebirds, yellow birds and black
birds seem to have disappeared from
western New York this year. Reports
from careful ornithologists in many
counties show that these birds have not
appeared this spring as usual. Walter
Burke of Batavia writes: Where are
the blackbirds? These birds in past
years cOngregated i'll large numbers in a
little grove near my residence and filled
the air with their melodious singing,
but now it is all hushed and still "
The Livingston Republican says
''The absence Of bluebirds has been
commented on by several papers, and,
come to think Of it, we haven't noticed
any bluebirds or yellow birds either,
but the orioles are flashing through the
foliage in considerable numbers and &C
casionally trilling few bars of song. >

Reserve In Death Notices.

One notices more and more with ev-
cry year how the age is oftener and Of
tener dropped from death announce
ments. This is in strict accordance with
the growing reserve of the individual
who keeps his private affairs TO himself
more closely, even in matters of no di-
rect importance. 1t is odd that such a
private feeling should wax stronger side
by side with the greater publicity Of
ones affairs through the wider notice
taken of them in the press generally

ouR lNcoMpARAsLE Icg CREAM.
Europeans strive to Initiate IT. but Their
Efforts Have Been Vain.

Efforts Have Been Vain.
Ice cream is pre-eminently an Ameri-
can specially. All the Atlantic passen-
ger steamers plying between this port
and Europe take aboard in New York
sufficient supply of ice cream for the
voyage back to New York as well as for
the outward journey, despite the fact
that the cost Of the article is greater
here than abroad. and that il is expen-
sive stuff 20 keep. The round trip Occu-
pies Mt least three weeks, and the cream
has to last that period, one week of
which the ship is tied mp in dock, with
the cream eating up Ice in the refriger-
ator at q prodigious rate. When the au-
kumn rush homeward sets in and the
steamers are crowded to the limit, the
amount of ice cream thus carried f7Cm
this port and kept at least two weeks for
use on the return voyage is a big item
in the provision account. Many kinds OF
provisions and supplies are cheaper in
Europe than here, and of these the
steamers lay in a double stock at the Eu-
ropean ports. Ice cream, too, is cheaper
In Europe, but it has the fatal disad-
vantage that it is not ice cream as the
American regards the article.
Ice has come to be less of novelty
ON the table in Europe in recent years,
mainly, doubtless, because of the insist
ence Of the thousands of Americans who
make Europe their summer playground.
Ice cream, too, you can get IN most OF
the big cities, even in England. But it
usually lacks the main, inde1nable quail
tiles that make it so attractive at home
Europeans may talk about the inimitable
bouquet of their wines, but the bouquet
of American ice cream is beyond them.
This is not matter of natural advan-
tages and facilities, as is claimed for the
wine and other things, for Switzerland
is full of ice topped mountains, and hel
valleys are filed with cows.
A varied and recent experience with
the ice creams of Europe induces the
conclusion that only the "sorbetto" one
gets on the Piazza of st. Marks il
Venice approaches the delicious perfec-
tion of the ordinary every day ice cream
of America. Perhaps this is because the
Venetians themselves eat ice cream,
whereas in most other European cities
it is regarded as an outlandish concoc-
tion, prepared only for the peculiar pal
ate of the stranger. 1t is q far cry and g
strange one, from st. Mark s to Madison
square, but the delighted exclamation OF
group of American girls, ordering ict
cream there as they had done all the
way down from London, "Ah, this il
something hkep' covered the distance

CAPTURED A BAD GANG.
When the officer Said Hands Up"
They Began Firing

New Brunswick, y. J., June Go
Along the tracks of the Pennsylvania
railroad near South Amboy last Satur-
day Engineer Everett. as his train ran
along a piece of woods, saw eight or ten
men bury a small black box. After the
men had departed Everett secured the
box and opened it. The first thing he
saw was a package marked 'dyna-
mite" This he quickly dropped into
an adjacent pond. Three revolvers,
several boxes of cartridges, a long
stretch of fuse and several caps COM
prised the other contents of the box.
Everett reported his discovery to the
police and Marshal Minnick and Police
man O'Toole. of South Amboy, started
out to find the men. They were located
in OConnor's saloon, where they were
spending money freely. Minnick en-
tered. closing the door behind him. and.
with a revolver in each hand, shouted:
Hands up"'
There was not the expected obedience
to the command. Several of the men
drew revolvers and all prepared to
fight. Several shots We're fired and
four of the men escaped through a rear
window. Peter Locke. alias Peter

OLD GAME DID NOT WORK.
Pair Of Confidence Men Outwitted by a
Monmouth Farmer.

Monmouth, H., June Backward
Patterson, a retired wealthy farmer of
this city, had an experience with a
pair Of confidence men yesterday after
noon in which he got the best of the
bargain. He was called upon by we'll
dressed individual, who claimed to be
a Knox county banker looking for real
estate. He expressed a desire to see
one of Patterson's farms, and they
drove out. On the way back they met
tramp. who displayed 10000, which
he said he had won In Chicago. In
the course of the conversation he eX-
pressed desire to play poker, and the
alleged Knox county banker suggest
ed to Patterson that they SIT I'm and
win the drunken tramp's money.
The three men sat down beside the
road and played for some time. Mr.
Patterson won number of small jack
pots, and then 1t was proposed to play
for $1,000. The two men suggested to
Mr.. Patterson that he draw that sum
from the bank and meet them at the
same place in the afternoon. Instead
Of doing so he informed the police and
they surrounded the place, but neither
Of them put In an appearance. A lv-
cry stable man who let the sharpers

M'CARTHY'S MANIFESTS.
Thinks the Defeat OF Home Rulo Govern.
Incnt Has Placed Ireland's Bittcrcst
Enemies i'm Office

London. June 25.-Justin Mccarthy.
the leader of the -Parnellites in the
house of commons, has issued mani
festo beginning; THE defeat of the
Home Rule government has placed Ire
lands bittrest enemies in office"
Mr.. Mccarthy proceeds to denounce
the Conservative leaders as having by
their own confession no Irish policy
but that of coercion. He claims that
the Liberal policy of Cancellation has
been proved wise and practicable by the
present unprecedented tranquil state
of Ireland. The manifesto continues
as follows:
The Irish party for nine years have
stood firmly and honorably by their
alliance with the Liberalism alliance
based up on the latter's adoption of a
Home Rule policy-and have the public,
solemn assurances of the Liberal lead
ers that Home Rule shall remain their
primary policy and shall be kept in the
forefront of their programme. With
out a subsidy from the rich exchequer
of a great empire, unlike the govern
ment. we fight, frowned upon by the
wealthy and powerful in England and
Ireland, and we rely exclusively upon
the generosity and confidence of the
ever-faithful people of the Irish race at
home and abroad to supply the resources
necessary for an election fund"

THE RECORDS CANVASS.
Relative Strength of Governor Hastings
and Senator QUAY,

dul ScidtOT Ouuy.
Philadelphia, June 25.-The Record
tomorrow will say:
The Record made a hurried canvass
of the state today with view to as
certaining how the party lines were
drawn in the great contest for the con-
troll of the Republican machinery.
A review of the contest shows that.
today, the battle is close one, but
what it will be one month hence is a
matter of conjecture. The convention
will meet on Aug. 2S next, so there will
be plenty of time for changes.
An important point to be remembered
in connection with this matter is that
will be able to name the chairman of
the state committee. In this city the
friends of Hastings will get about so
delegates out of 10. In Allegheny and
the counties adjacent the Hastings peo-
pie claim 10 of the 1O1 delegates to be
elected. Attorney General Mccormick
will be expected to deliver the Sixteenth
Congress district; Secretary Reeder the
Eighth, Commissioner Gilkeson and
Adjutant General Stewart the Seventh,
and the counties contained therein can
be pretty certainly counted for Hast
ings.
Quay will have a following in Phila-
delphia, all of Lanca ster, Berks, Lu-
zerne, Schuylkill perhaps many votes
in the northwest, and a slice Of western
Pennsylvania.

ROBBER AND PIRATE.
Capture OF n Much. Wanted Buccanccr
Near BridgctOn.


Bridgeton, n. j., June 25.-Constable
detective Frank j. Lore this morning
made an important capture in Howard
Shull at Newport. Shull Is burglar,
robber and river pirate of great audac-
ity and bravado. Fourteen warrants
were out for him In this county, but
all the constables were shy of him, and
were hardly ever about when Shull was
ashore. There were also warrants for
him in Delaware and Maryland. He is
a native of Newport, but for years has
lived in his boat, in which he came and
went as he pleased, and took what he
wanted whenever he got a chance.
His operations consisted in stealing
oysters from oyster beds: in breaking
into and robbing oyster boats, and in
stealing their rigging. On shore he
would break into stores or houses and
carry off all he could. He has been a
regular outlaw.
A short time ago the general store of
Moore Bros. at Leipslc, Del, was
robbed, and the next morning Captain
Bateman, Of this city, sailing down the
Delaware river, found anoat a pocket
book, which proved to belong to that
firm. Through this circumstance the
robbery Of the store was charged to
Shull, for which he will be tried when
the court here is done with him.
Last week Shull was seen in Newport.
He went into an ice cream saloon and
bought ice cream. but as two heavy re-
volvers bulged out of his pockets no.

stable to get the drop on the fellow
with his gun and take no chances.
Lore met the man along the road and
arrested him without any trouble.

stuck into the ground came out wet,
