BIRDS OF PREY.
Hundreds Will Gather From Miles
Away Round a Carcass.

The manner in which vultures and
other birds of prey gather together
whenever a carcass is left exposed is
explained by Sir Samuel Baker, as fol-
lows, says the New York Mercury
He writes: when an animal is killed
and skinned, before the operation is
completed the first bird to appear is the
willy and omnipresent crow; the next is
the ordinary buzzard. Both these birds
are near the surface of the earth, seek
ing their food with untiring energy.
But although they have great powers
of scent, even they, in my opinion, are
mainly guided by their acuteness of
vision, as they are always on the alert,
hunting in every direction, and, in fact.

rival is the small, red-neclxed vulture.

A MARRYING PARTNERSHIP.
Which United Couples in Very Firm
Bonds.

While in town the other day the Hon
Allen Weir of Olympia drifted into a
reminiscent mood and told the follow
ing to the Seattle Post -Intelligencer'
man:
"A lank, raw-b boned Georgian named
Shaw, who lived at Dungeness. in Clal-
lam County, in early days was Justice
of the Peace In the course of his duties
as Squire many ludicrous incidents
happened. He was a very illiterate man
and talked habitually in Southern ne
gro dialect. Upon one occasion Shaw
was called upon to officiate in perform
ing marriage ceremony, uniting his
partner, Thornton, in wedlock with a
fair widow The affair was public and
excited much interest. 1t occurred on
Sunday afternoon, when everybody
for miles around had come to town.
Shaw had creased his boots in honor
of the occasion and wore his brand-new
buckskin 'galluses' conspicuously. Be
fore commencing the ceremony he i'm
pressively removed an enormous quid
OF tobacco as q useless obstruction to
free articulation, hitched up his pants
and sailed in. Transfixing the culprits
with his eagle eye he ordered them to
stand up-which they proceeded to do
Ill fear and trembling. The large audi
ence was on tiptoe of expectation and
the breathless silence was broken by
Shaw's pompous inquiry of the groom
as to whether or not he intended to take
this hyer womern as his lawful welded
wife etc.
Thornton, who was a little slow and
had the appearance of bashfulness.
shifted uneasily from one foot TO the
other and finally said that he guessed
that was the calculation Upon re-
ceiving satisfactory answers to similar
questions from the bride Shaw
stretched himself to his full 6 feet
inches of hight. and, after surveying
the crowd impresively. proceeded to de-
clare in awful solemnity: Now.
therefore, what me and God hev joined
together let no man put asunder' AS

Clyde Fitch's Bohemia" in which
Charles Frohman's Empire Stock Com
pany is to appear at the Metropolitan
on Monday evening, Aug. 31st, gives
an excellent indication of the versa
tility of the organization. The several
plays which the company had produced
just before Bohemia" at the Empire
Theater in New York. were strong
emotional dramas, intensely serious in
their interest. Although the company
were given the highest praise for their
acting in these serious plays. the light
ness and vivacity and tOuch-and-go-
characteristics Of their performance in
Bohemia" which in the main calls for
comedy" playing, called forth enthu-
siastically favorable comments during
the long run of the piece in New York
city, and in other prominent places
where the play has so far been pre-
scented.

SATISFACTORY QUALIFICATIONS.
Reasons for Returning Congressman
Grove L. Johnson.

From the Placer County Republican. ]
Every sound money and sound sense
Republican wants to see the party of
his choice control the next Congress for
obvious reasons. First he desires to
see tariff measure enacted that will
give relief to the depressed industries,
and second, he does not want to see a
financial policy inaugurated that will
bring further disaster upon the people.
Grove L. Johnson, the Congressional
nominee from this district, possesses all
the satisfactory qualities that go to
make him an able and acceptable rep
resentative and it is to him that the
people Will look TO carry out the prin-
ciples they will invest him with. Mr..
Johnson has been in Congress but one
term, and in that short time there is
probably not q member of Congress who
has gained the national reputation as
a statesman and orator that Grove l..
Johnson has; no Congressman from this
district has ever brought the interests
of his district into greater prominence.
No greater struggle in a national cleo
ton has ever been had than the present
one 1t will be a contest between the
forces of free trade and free silver
against protection, sound money and in
telligent Government. With these prin-
ciples at stake the Republicans cannot
afford to take any chances on their Con-
gressional Representative, as on that
Representative depends the carrying
out of the principles in which we believe.
Our present Congressional nominee is a
Republican,; he believes in protection
and in all other measures that should
govern a conservative and intelligent
Government, and as a man and a Re-
publican we urge the people of this dis
trict to return Mr.. Johnson to the po-
sitiOn he has so ably filled.

A social club of deaf mutes exists in
Warsaw since 1888, and as there are

ed in the capital of Russian Poland, the
club is doing very well. During the
last week of carnival the club arranged

very curious plan was adopted, which
proved quite efficient. A large paper
doll was rugged up on the piano, and
the player, also a deaf mute, who fur
nished the music, which, of course,
could not be heard by the members Of
the club, used pedal to make the
paper figure move up and down in time
with the piece played. A large sign
alongside announced the character Of
the dance, and thus it became possible
for the deaf mutes to enjoy the dances
as if they were not afflicted with their
organic shortcomings. Besides that,
they We're spared the agony of those
who could hear, for some wag had tam
pered with the piano, which was fright
fully out of tune, even the player never
noticing that fact. The deaf mutes
danced into the early morning hours
and unanimously voted the entertain
ment magnificent success.
