THOSE sPoLIATI0N CLAIMS.

A reader OF THE NEWS, who perhaps is
a French spoliation claimant, takes US to
task for stating the othor day that out
side of Congress the claims for the dam
age done TO American ships by French
cruisers in the late years of tho last cen
tury had never been sifted, and there is
no evidence to show that France would
have been held liable for them had she
not been relieved of such probable liabil-
ity, In exchange for releasing the United
States from supposable treaty obligations
that threatened to make an uncomfort-
able ENHANCEMENT for this country.
The lines TO which our correspondent
takes exception were written with the
view in mind that as claims against
France, the French spoliation obligations
had never been adjudicated. AS a matter
of fact. we cannot contend that the claims
have not been sifted, for our Court Of
Claims has passed upon them, and re-
ported favorably to the effect that they
hold good against the United States
and, as we pointed out, a part of them to
the amount of si,soO,oOO has actually
been paid to the claimants, although
the commission of 1900 appointed to
settle them between the two countries set
them off against the treaty obligations,
and thus quashed them, so far as France
was liable, our government taking ad-
vantage OF the private claims OF certain
OF its citizens TO pdrchaso release from
alleged national obligations without a
proper adjudication of either. In 1885
Congress referred the claims thus trans
ferred as obligations against our own
government TO the Court of Claims, and
the partial payment was made on the
report OF that court

THE HAvENs OF HAY FEvERrTEs.

We are authorltatlveiy INFORMED thht
the twenty-third annual meeting of the
United States Hay Fever Association will
be held at Bethlehem, N. r., on Tuesday,
August 25 next. We believe the Associa-
tion usually holds its sessions at beauti-
fuI Bethlehem. II was organized there in
1874, and the constitution provides that
tho annual meeting shall be held in the
White Mountains, altho ugh Bethlehem
is not specified.
The White Mountains are among the
places to which the association gives the
weight of it's official recognition as sex
empt" placeS-where hay fever sufferers
may secure freedom from attacks of the
malady. All Europe is on the exempt
list, and in the United States from Colo
RADIO 10 the Pacific coast is exemption
guaranteed. Elsewhere in the United
States there are according to the prevail
ing testimony OF hay fever subjects, but
few places besides the White Mountain re-
gion, the interior OF the Adirondacks and
portions OF the Lake Superior region
that are exempt. One of the objects of
the Hay Fever Association is to discover
such exempt places for the common good
of the members, the welfare of humanity
at large and the interests of science.
Fhe- -idiosyncratic uuturg OF the malady
makes it desirable that testimony on the
subject Of exempt places should be furn-
ished as carefully and conscientiously as
possible. Some spots are "partially
exempt" or exempt to particular persons.
For instance one member of the associa-
tion bears witness that he has for ten years
by going early to Martha's Vineyard and
staying there been able to postpone attacks
from August Is to about September 8 and
then to be SO comfortable as with few
simple appliances TO remain there the rest
Of the season while other mem bers aver
that they ind no exemption at the Vine
yard from hay fever. 1t appears that
there is great rivalry among a large num-
ber of summer resorts to secure the pres
ence of hay fever subjects by advertising
an exemption that is as questionable as Is
proven rbialIy, the absence Of mosquitoes.
Ia VoI
q unanimous that Narragansett is an ex-
empt region while Block Island is quoted
as exempt, "not exempt" and "parti-
ally or to particular persons exempt"
the latter view evidently accounting for
the divergence of testimony.
The Hay Fever Association is dis
tinguished body of men. Indeed, II is
said that only men Of considerable brain
power are selected for victims by the hay
fever germ, or microbe, or whatever it
may be that incites the trouble. The
bench, bar and pulpit are conspicuous in
the membership, which includes also
many doctors of high standing. Messrs.
CHARLES T.. CARPENTER and A. M.
CHASE are two memp pers OF the present
board of government from Rhode Island.
1t appears that as haven of the hay
feverites Bethlehem is in ianger OF losing
its prestige because of growing disposi-
tion to have flowers about the hotels.
There Is evidence to tho effect that one of
the agencies of hay fever is pollen bear
ing plants or flowers that are cdorous.

Told of Greek Shutters.

writer from Maryland in The Amer
lean Field makes somo remarks about a
duck which he calls creek shutters, better
known as the ring neck duck. He says
that they fly ewaco as fast as SWANS, and
swans have flown at the rate of 90 miles
an hour over a measured course. Besides
being bulletlike fliers, they arc also
"corkers for brhins.' Instead Of coming
to the decoys, like decent fool duoks, they
have to fly over the top of tho blind In cir-
cles, far out OF gun shot and, Of course, soc

Old Inns In ENGLAND.

There Is IN almost Puritanical simple
tty about many of tho old inns and ale-
houses, often in keeping with the old
world names of their proprietors, as, for
example, Amos Gaie, Shadraoh Meade,
Samuel Ward or Mary Ann Mulcock. Tho
names OF the inns would require q paper
to themselves. The Three Horseshoes has
for Its rival across tho road tho -Four
Horseshoes. At Peters Green tho sign Of
tho Half Moon mods oomplacently across

nnmo In many village Is derived from
tho number of bells In the towor of tho
parish church. Thus there Is the Six
Bells ut st. Michael's, whcro Lord Bacon
lies buried, and Hatfield and Luton have
each their Eight Bells. Tho Bull, tho Bell,

Gagged WILD ANIMALS.

How They Are Treated by tho Keepers al
the London Zoo.
lt always appeared to the writer that
sutton, the head keeper Of tho 200, treated
lions and some male tigers as II they were
dogs, while oil the lionesses, tho leopartls,
pumas and most tigers were treated as
cats. Lionesses he never touched with the
hand, and loopards, except the snow leop-
ords, very seldom, but some of the tigers
and the male lions behaved IN their deal
ings with him exactly as IL they were do
mesticatsd animals. Bears he maintain
ed, always became unsafe to handle after
they We're full grown, though ofton tame
and friendly when cubs. Polar bears, on
the other hand, no looked upon ms always
dangerous and quito untamable, having a
Kind OF inourable lovity which makes them
absolutely without respect or foar for man,
even when they arc kept in captivity. In
eno oase OF the larger cats ago and LII tenn
per do not necessarily increase together.
In all the years spent in tho oaro of the
large carnivora be never received an In
jury, yet, though never hurt by tho bears
or lions, he was nearly killed by a cobra.

and the next moment saw Its muzzle
pushed against the crack which had been
lert between the edge OF the door and tho
pose. 1t slid the door baok in moment,
ran In, and, stopping Its head, seized him
below the kneo and throw him Violently
