the Commissioners and Senator Mcmillan

that the present service is not only cheap

We know the effect on prices of a monopoly
on gas. electric lighting and telephone
service, and the result of carrying out Sena-
tor McMillsn's suggestions as to the piac-
ing of our street railways under one man
ageinent would be still more disastrous.
There would be no more extending OF lines
TO accommodate the public. and those who
rode in street cars would either accept
scant courtesy at the hands of the man
agement or~yent their Indignation on deaf
or unwilling ears. We might possibly have
one fare to all parts of the city, but after
the railways owned both the District and
Congress that fare might not be satisfac-
tory.

JOSEPH II. SHEPHERD.
Sand-Pipcr, Esq.

II you live on the Jersey coast. or any
Of the neighboring ones, and wake up
one September morning with a good
southeastern, which has been blowing since
the previous evening. rafting around your
windows, accompanied by drizzle, get up
and put on your shooting "togs." oil your
gun well. and prepare for a good days
sport. The birds do not like TO fly I'm 4
high wind. and will almost always come
up into the coast bays and rivers 10 feed
on the overlooked meadows that such
storms produce.
II is a rather difficult thing to deter
mine on what kind Of ground you will
find .;nipe; some days they will be found
in great abundance in one locality, and
the day after hardly a bird will be seen.
The weather has something TO do with
this, and by careful study OF Il some idea
may be gained as to where to find the
birds. though this will not always prove
reliable.
When the wind N a storm Is not too
high. the birds usually remain on the sea-
beach, but when It Is violent you will
run a pretty fair chance OF finding them
inland. During the southeaster men
toned, II the wind IS rather high, and
there is a heavy tide. sand-piper likes
nothing better than to spend the day
peddling around on the flooded salt
meadows, picking up the little worms and
bugs that have been soaked out OF their
homes in the grass and soil. Here you
will find him IN large fiocks. travelling by
short flights from one end Of the meadow
10 the other, showing very little DISPOSE
ton TO move on. But above all. his hap
piness seems wholly complete II he can
find a meadow on which the grass has
been cut but not collected in mows at the
time of the overflow. The floating grass
affords a refuge for all the washed-out
bug inhabitants OF the meadow. and the
snipe make the most OF the rare treat
offered. This kind OF meadow-shooting
is very pleasant. as the birds will not fly
far when flushed" and It is possible
TO follow a flock all around the meadow,
securing several shots before 1t takes
flight for good. The sedge islands at the
mouths of rivers and bays are great
feeding-grounds when the wind Is not
so high. and the tide not sufficient to
flood the fields.

facts. The primary was the fairest ever
held, and no contests were made.
