til imported there, it is consequen .ly
the fowl least removed from its wild
state, moro shy in avoiding close as
ISOLATION with man than any other
bird. Considering how man treats the
turkey about holiday time, it is not
surprising that the turkeys domesti-
cation proceeds SO slowly. In one re-
spect the wandering habit OF the tur,

may not escape getting it IN the neck
when his proper time comes. The
turkey that wanders, that is, one that
is set under q hen turkey, has more
vigor and vitality than the turkey set
under q common hen. Tho latter will
generally have more turkeys from the

ones will die, while tho turkeys

ToRPEDO-BOAT PORTER IS FAST.
Speed So Great That the Paint on
the Hull Is Worn AWAY.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Two weeks
ago Lieut.. Fremont, in command of
the torpedo boat Porter, and other of
ficers of the boat, when in the clear
water off Newport, observed that the
VessePs bottom was becoming barred
Of paint. On arriving at the Brook
lyn navy yard she was put in dock
and the fact was developed that the
last coating, applied less than a month
ago to prevent fouling, had been en-
tirely swept away by the rapid sweep
OF the boat through the water and that
the protective coat upon the steel hull
had also nearly vanished. This is the
hrst instance ever recorded in which
the bottom Of any sea-going vessel has
been bereft of it's paint coverings by
the friction of the water caused by
high rate Of speed. The Porter has
been repainted and will come out of
the dock tomorrow with protective
coverings upon her hull, which it is
hoped by her officers will prove more
stable against the wear of the intense
speed maintained by this remarkable
boat in action. >

Small Child at Brooklyn Frightened
Into Commissions.

NEW YORK, June 5.-The snoring
habit has broken up families and sew
cred friendships, but the first time on
record, it is believed, snoring has been
held responsible for death, and, un-
fortunately, not the death of the snor-
er, but of an innocent victim Fright,
due to hearing man snore, caused the
death of a three-year-old child, Anna
E. Churchill, in Brooklyn, last evening.
The man who caused the child's death
indirectly was Edward Mason, paint
er who boards at the Churchills'
After he had been drinking heavily
Mason went to the Churchill house, lay
down in the kitchen and fell asleep.
The child was sleeping in an adjoining
room Mason's snore is said to be such
that most of the people in his block
know it. At. any rate, it awakened
little Anna Churchill and threw her
into commissions. The family turned

rested and sent to Jail for ten days.
doctor was called in to attend the
child, but she passed from one con-
vulsion into another and died last
evening. The case will be investigated
by the coroner, who will endeavor to
ascertain whether Mason's responsl-
bility for the child's death is a crimi-
nal responsibility.

NEW YORK, June 5.-F'ive Ameri-
can bishops of the Episcopal church.
Underwood Dudley, of - Kentucky;
Worthington, of Nebraska; Leonard, of
Ohio; Perry, OF Iowa, and Vincent, of
Southern Ohio, all accompanied ty
their wives and some by families,
sailed on the Lucaria today to take
part in the queens jubilee and attend
the Lambeth congress. Six American
bishops sailed last week. Among the
various subjects to be considered by
the college of bishops will be the re-
vision of marginal notes and commen-
taries on the st. James Bible, a dis
cussion Of foreign mission work, and
the relation of brotherhood inside the
church. All the American bishops have
individual enga gements to speak in va
rious English churches. Bishop Worth
ington will preach at ST. Thomas
church, Winchester. and at Glaston-
bury abbey, on invitation of the bishop
of Bath and Wells. He will also preach

SENSATIONAL COURT SCENE.
Attempt at Suicide by Two Convicted
Prisoners.

TOLEDO, June 5.-One Of the most
sensational scenes ever enacted in a
Lucas county court room transpired
when Leslie G.. Barnes, convicted Of
perjury, and his father both made des-
perate efforts to commit suicide. AS
soon as the verdict was read Barnes
father. who is sixty-five years old, ex-
claimed: ''This is not justice" and
pulling a knife, made several desperate
lunges at his throat. After a hard
struggle, during which several men
were severely cut, the elder Barnes
was overpowered. No sooner had he
been shackled than his son commenced
to hurl men right and left, started on
a run for one of the windows and was
about to leap to the ground, a dis
tance of over fifty feet, when he was
caught.
