feed the fowls in Connecticut In almost
the same way, yet fail to produce the
same results. Samuel p. Colt, son of the
famous inventor of the rifle which bears
his name and who became one OF the
most prominent residents of Rhode Island,
told me that he sent some Of the bronze
turkeys from the finest specimens obtain
al 10 to a farm in New Hampshire and
that they were treated with the utmost
care. Yet their progeny had little in
common with the parent birds, and their
flesh was entirsly lacking in the delicacy
OF flavor which has made the bronze
turkey famous. There must be climatic
or soil conditions which have bearing
upon this subject, but the fact remains
that the Rhode Island turkey ranks to-
day high as an American delicacy."

RHODE ISLAND TURKEYS.
How a Famous New York Bon vivan
Regards Them.

Regards Them.
Speaking upon one occasion about such
humble delicocy as the turkey and being
laughed at for paying an extravaganI price
to have them brought from Rhode Island,
John F.Cham berlain, the famous New
York sporting man and ban vivant, is
quoted as follows in an article reviewing
his career in the New York Sunday
Herald:

was one of the very first to recognize tho
superior merits of he Rhode Isand turkey
and to discover that he possessed rank
above all his fellows for frmness aud

a matter for discussion. IL Is not, how

them the name OF bronze turkeys, and as
the bronze turkeys OF Rhode Island they
are known to epicures today in every part
OF the country. There was unwarrsntedly

Clover Club as juicy fowl. Or course,
such thing would lie impossible, and
there was no such occurrence. This,
however, did happen. placed before
them a Rhode Island turkey, or, rather,
fragments OF IL already carved, and asked
them to guess what 1t was. Some thought
It was pheasant; others said, Quail, only

tonishment knew no bounds.
"One explanation given of the peculiar
merit of the Rhode Island turkey Is that
the farms OF that little state are small,
and that more individual attention can
be given TO the birds than they obtain
elsew here. This may be true In part.
Doubtless some OF tie excellence of the
fowl is cue to the fact that some time

held last night. over 5000 members OF
various labor organizations were in line,

made merry music, red fire burned
brightly, cannons doomed, and, In short,
the strikers had a happy time. Twelve
labor unions were represented In the
parade, and the line of march was

HE'S UP TO SNUFF!

OF Blackberries.
DEAR UNCLE SAMUEI-Whlle on nv
summer vacation i have spent several days
travelling through some OF the farm dis
tricts OF our beautiful State OF Rhode
island On one Of these farms l dis
covered large amount of barberry bush
es loaded with fruit. Being of a specu-
iative turn of mind, l concluded to buy
SAID farm and make a corner in barber
ries whereby might make $500, 600. THIS
did. mean bought the farm, but
the 5000, 600 is another consideration, as
l look at things now, for have discov-
cred that several other farms have got
barberries in abundance, and that bar
berries are not worth 20 cents peck.
Now, am not inclined to be q farmer,
30 i am afraid am stucx in this specula-
tive movement unless you will help me
out. Now i have conceived another
scheme whereby / can make the $500, 900
II you will kindly assist me. This is my
plan: l will gather all my berries
and send them to you G. o. d., and
you Will enamel them beautifully
with silver Qfree), and then call an
extra session OF Congress aud make
law whereby silver coated parberries
shall pass current for all debts, public or
private, also for all foreign exchange, and
for pin money to ones wife. Also
Congress shall pass a law that If any
other man or woman shall use his or
her barberries for exchange in any way he
or she shall suffer death by the rope or
electrocution within twenty minutes
after conviction by White Caps. Yours
respectfully, HORACE PoPULIsT.

That Hebrew Meeting.
10 THE EDITOR OF TUE NEWS:

10 THE EDITOR OF TUE NEWS:
SIR-I am surprised TO see in last Nc
days issue of your paper a report about
a meeting that was held on Sunday even
ing at Moses Montefiore Hall. AS sec-
retary of the Young Mems Sir Moses
Montefiore Association to whom the hall
belongs, l know that 1t did not rent the
hall 10 any club or person for meeting.
More especially, our association would not
permit the use OF our hall for such a man
as John Nelson in face of all the excite
ment that prevailed In this section OF the
city against that man.
There were two mass meetings held at
different places, one at Hedley's Hall. 202
Charles street and one at Liberty Hall,
297 Canal street, where the disgraceful
doipgs OF that individual were denounced.
Furthermore, the persons named in the
report as officers of the so-called "He-
brew Independent Club" were those of
Nelson's three employees, and / am
actually astonished to see such a fiat lio
appear in print which is certainly in
tended only to deceive the public.
OF course IL has always been Nelson g
custom to do similar tricks. For example
mis- reports in the dailies about certain
monthly to which he claims the title
editor" and which is in reality a re-
print of New York paper without even
a single column of original reading mat
with this shameful practice OF furnishing
false reports to honest publications.
Under any circumstances we strictly
object TO use the name of our hall in con-
nection with a man of whom we are
ashamed. Kindly correct the same
and oblige,
Yours respectfully,
SAMUEL MASON.

Francisco to look after his interest in a
valuable estate that ne has received notice

Gus" as he is known to all the bathers
and frequenters of the baths, will prob

arrangements to get his share of the estate

Young Munther is az expert swimmer.
He was employed as swimming-teacher

the baths. While there he suffered Sc
