line distance of 1888 miles, in fifteen and
one-half days. He was bred by Mr.. Fred
Bowers of Fall River, but is now owned
by Theodore P. Green, Woodbury., N.
Y, who has the largest collection Of
champion flyers in the world.
Champion Gambrinus flew $40 miles In
nine hours and fifty-nine minutes, or
with an average speed Of 1927 yards per
minute. Ex- Champion George w. Childs
flew from the 525-mile station in eleven
hours and twenty-five minutes. Daniel
l.. is now the champion average speed
flyer of America, and is probably the
best bird in this country He won the
National blue ribbon by making an aver
age speed of 1856 yards from five stations
from 100 to 500 miles. The speed was
poor, but Is very good If we consider
that many times this bird had to go
through rain and reverse winds and that
he competed against hundreds Of birds.
From the 100 mile station he made 1856
yards per minute. Daniel L. was bred
by C. A. Mahr, Newark, N. ].
Champion Dinah,N owned by P. G..
Clark, made the wonderful speed Of
1875 yards per minute from the 2O3 mile
point. Such records as this require not
only good birds but gales in the bird s
favor. And this it was, for d terrific
gale blew at her back the whole length
of the journey.
All Of the above records were made
under the rules of the National feder-
alton.

MALIGN HYPNOrISM OF WALL STREET
BY JAnEs q. CLARK

: The whitening. hypnotic spell which
Wall street fosters upon representative
men Is something appalling to contem-
plate. Great men whom the people once
loved and trusted have, one after another,
gone down In eternal ruin and disgrace
charmed, conquered. and at last swal-
lowed and morally assimilated by the gol-
den serpent. Among the most prominent
victims are Sherman, Window, John G..
Carlisle and Bishop Newman. Among the
most recent desertions from Christ to Baal
is Rev. DR.. Robert s. Macarthur Of Calvary
Baptist church, New York. where J. D.
Rockefeller adores Mammon and contrib
utes to the pastors $4,000 salary.
This recreant disciple of theNazarene has
been preaching on the Coinage Heresy."
After indulging in the exploded stock
platitudes furnished him by the Wall
street literary bureau he added:
When a man tells you he has nothing to
lose by trying free coinage. and we might
as well try 1t, you are talking with dis
honest man, with man you had better
watch If you have any valuables around.
Ar Are ,d'ot not some Of these men who favor
are honest; for instance, the mine owners,
who expect to make many millions. They
can well llford to manage a partys poli--
tics and pay great newspapers to support
them, and have many orators-orators who
will. and undoubtedly do. demand their
pay IN gOlQ.
There are some silver men who are hon.
est, who are actuated by mania. There
were doubtless many honest men in 1861
who fought to rend this union. who shot
at our. dear flag (applause) but am cer-
tain that many Of those men have more
regard for the honor and honesty Of this
country. than the silver men have.
The debasement of our currency would
be g gigantic fraud, a national crime and
a sin against humanity. put the man
who deals in green goods on an equality
with the man who wants to debase our
currency. at

In the light Of the foregoing record

petual national bondage to usurers.

Increased Interest in Raising
Homing Pigeons
RACING BECOMING POPULAR
A. Innocent Sport for Both tn. Young
and Old
'Ussfui Hiats for Those Establishing Lofts-But
Little Attention Required-some
official Records

Homing pigeons, sometimes improper
" called carrier pigeons, are the only
birds Of today that are used for flying
purposes.
These intelligent pets are extensively
used as message-bearer Prospectors
In the mountains or deserts or parties
out yachting find them to be beyond
vaaue as message-bearers in case an
accident befalls them.
They are especially valuable to con
vey news from isolated mines or ranch
81. Doctors find it convenient to put one
or two birds under the seat of the buggy
before visiting a patient in the country
and then sending word when to expect
him back.
The United States and many. Euro
pean governments have established mil
1tAry lofts since their great value was
proven in the Franco German war.
The homer first came to perfection in
Belgium. where pigeon racing is the ma
ftunal sport. Nearly every man who
has home has his loft of aerial racers.
Every holiday thousands of birds par
ticipate in great races and for purses up
iu the thousands of dollars.
In 1895 French paper. the Petite
Journal. offered several large prizes for
two great races, the first being 1000
francs: In the land toss there were
5000 birds from Germany and France
liberated at the foot OF Eiffel tower. OF
these President Faure assisted in free
Ing 1000. The noise of the thousands of
wings 1T one time must have been some-
thing long to be remembered.
In the sea toss many thousands were
liberated At different distances up to 500
kilometers. Most all Of the birds arrived
home IN good time, thus proving their
iyoJt1e to steamer lines,
CalnofuAa promises to be a center for
the sport. e. birds can be flown in this
climate any time Of the year. Quite a
Number are beginning to learn what a
Fascinating spert 1t ID. To start out one
must first consider the construction of
~ loft.

high in the back yard was the home of
two of Americas best long-distance
flyers So 1t makes no difference to the
birds how the place looks, so long as
they have a place they can call their
own.
A very suitable loft for ten pairs is one
Sx10x7 feet, having all sides boarded up
except the sunny side, which should be
covered with wire netting or laths. The
lott may be built on the ground, but if
elevated a few feet it is better. The up
per part of barn is an excellent place.
Nest boxes and perches should be
placed on the walls and the floor covered
with coarse sand.
There are several ways Of fixing up
the trap doors and trap boxes, but the
OBJECT IS to so arrange bob wires in the
entrance holes so that the birds can
come IN but not go out unless another
door is opened.
1t Is not necessary to keep the loft so
clean as many suppose, for how about
tne nithy lofts of healthy common
pigeons I'VE SO often see. - Homers are
more hardy than they If given their free
dom. whitewash once a year and a
cleaning out once a month is beneficial
AFTER liking up suitable home, the
next thing Is to stock the loft Homers
are vigorous breeders to their last days.
which is when they are between fifteen
and twenty-five years old. Each pair
will rear at least ten youngsters a year.
and as pair Of these is worth half the
value or their parents, it will at once be
seen that it is by far the best plan to
get good stock in the beginning.
Good young unframed birds can be
had for SIS per pair, and birds almost as
good for SO. Birds over year old with
out records can be had foir a dollar
more, and those having 500 mile records
are worth from $40 to $100 and more per
pair. Theodore p. Green of Woodbury.,
N. j., refuses $50 for pair of birds that
flew the $50 station in one and one
fourth days.
All birds should be seamless banded
and full pedigree given. Belgium
birds are not banded, but in every race
they enter they are stamped on the wing
which is proof of their records.
A man that judges homer by looks
alone is a poor judge, for generally
scrubby looking bird will outfly hand
some and powerful bird. 1t is blood
that tells: therefore, always choose a
good pedigreed bird even If his record
isn't the best, as he Is truer breeder
The novice must not get discouraged
If his birds make wonderful records,
for 1t takes good stock, coupled with ex-
perience, to be successful.
Then, again, the beginner generally
makes tne mistake OF DuylnS DlrdS that
are sold for 81 or 81 per pair, because
they look exactly like those Mr.. A. sells
for S..
The only safe way is to see an honest
fancier that is in for pleasure and whose
birds have won many races.
There are two ways to stock loft.
If you wish to get to flying birds in a
few weeks, then buy youngsters under
five weeks old and let them mature in
the loft, and when twelve weeks of age
they are old enough to stand training,
but fewer losses will be made If they are
older.
Old birds with proven records is the
safest plan. to get good start, and
then in short time there will be plenty
Of youngsters to ny.
If the old birds have not yet been
mated. they might be quite successfully
settled BY mating them up In the new
