WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Secretary
Carlisle sent to the house today a re-
ply to the resolution introduced by

catches for the privilege Of sealing and
that the American Commercial COM
pany has made claim for $500, 900

placed upon sealing. The United

book begins with the date Of 1882, and
its leaves are eaten by worms The
type is of a large German character.
This is probably the only copy in
America. The Scotch acts, from 1924
to 1921, contain the laws of parlia-

acts during the reign of King Charles |.

other. The duke of Yorks Book of
Laws" of 1915 to 1862 has all the auto
graphs of the governors and presidents
of the councils of Pennsylvania during
those years. The list includes the

The two allied commanders in chief,
Simpson and Pelissier, were of very
different character and appearance.
The one was tall, thin Scotchman;
the other short, stout, thick-set Nor
man. The first time they met after
the capture Of the city Pclissier
rushed up to the English general and
embraced him with great fervor, hav-
ing almost to climb up to reach his
cheek. The English staff were amused
at this demonstration, and said to Simp-
son: "Why, Gen. Pelissier kissed you'll"
And his reply, with strong national
dialect, was: "Well, it was great oc-
casion, and l could ma resist him.

Hawaii's Animal Life.

The Hawaiian islands, as the result
OF recent exploration, have been found
to be richer in animal life than was
formerly supposed. AS the result of a
years investigation by the British as
Iociation, through its committee, it has
been found that of birds there are sew
enty-eight species, of which fifty-seven
are peculiar to this group. All the land
and fresh water shells are peculiar, and
Of Q thousand species OF insects, seven
hundred are not found elsewhere. 1t
thus seems that these islands have by
no means been populated from the
continent, but have been centers Of In
dependent creation.

Ranged on the shelves are decisions

all law comes. There are copies of the

and reviews of the important causes
which have been decided by the courts
of France. Most of the books are
printed In English, though some OF
them are In French, German and Latin.
One volume from the supreme court

| Among the characteristic sights of
the lower East side, "Milliners' row"
is an interesting example. The row"
consists of that part of Division street
which lies between Market street and
the Bowery. Every store in the row
on the north side of the street is occu-
pied by milliner, whose trusty pull
erin stands guard in front ready for
the unwary woman who may glance
at a bonnet. There are few millinery
stores scattered farther along Division
street which act as a sort of skirmish
line, The real business, however, be-
gins when Market street Is reached.
The women 'pullers-in," although
more gentle in their methods, are just
as persuasive in manner and glib OF
tongue as their male brethren on Bax-
Ter street. Their scent for customer
Is Just as keen, though Their voices are
not SO loud. When ''puller-in" sights

Dakota Farmers Turn for Relief TO the

Fourteen families are now on their
way 70 this state from the Dakotas 70

twenty-five more viii follow in a short
time" said John G. Risedorph to a rep
resentative OF the Post-Intelligencer last

Mr. Risedorph returned about a week
ago from trip to several OF the principal
cities OF the DakOtas. where a number OF
his old-time friends are domiciied. He
said: '"The minute they heard / was in
their section they hunted me up and made
al sorts OF inquiries about Washington.
I felt extremely sorry for their condition
and advised them TO move To this state
as soon as they possibly could. They
did not need any coaxing, for they had
about made up their minds to move before
I arrived. The possibilities for a large
number OF those thrifty farmers moving
TO this state are frst-class, and all that is
needed is a combined effort on our part
here.
Il never saw such a deplorable condition
of affairs as exists in both the Dakotas.
Russian thistle and foxtail grass have
made their appearance, and have about
ruined the farmer. The latter is especial
ly severe on stock, and proves fatal in
many cases. Besides these pests are the
severe winters and the drouths In sum-
mer. Most of the settlers are Americans
and are very desirable lot of people TO
secure for a state like Washington. Dur
ing my visit | met number of people
who had been at the Worlds fair. and
they were loud IN their praise for the ex-
hibit made by this state, which, to their
notion. was the best at that great ex-
position. l sincerely hope an effort will
be made 10 induce those people 10 make
their homes In this state"
