GIVE MEDALS OF HONOR.

We think it would be a good thing if
the Board of Police Commissioners
would, at the end of each year. distrib-
ute few medals OF honor among ofri-
GERS who have been conspicuous for
gallantry. 1t is the custom in other cit
les, and when an officer risks his life in
saving the lives and property Of others
there should be some. public recogni-
tion OF the circumstance. 1t would bene-
fit the force, for there is no man living
who is averse to receiving a medal for
bravery, no matter how high or how
low his station.
The Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children and the Society fol
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
could also reap benefit by each award
ing a suitable medal every year 10 I'm

terest in helping them to forward thei

PIGEONS SHOW THEIR TRAINING.
Large FIoclSs of the Birds That Per-
form Wonderful EvoIutiOns.


Remarkable as ere the results of
training as exhibited in the speed of
modern pigeons, they do mot compare
with the wonderful evolutone per-
formed by these birds in the last CEN
turies in Italy. There were at that
time men who devoted themselves 20
pigeon training, and the art was sup
posed to find its perfection in certain
families and to be handed down from
generation TO generation. The art con-
sisted in training large flocl1s of pigeons
TO obey their owner and 10 perform GER
tain evolutions in the air. In the ear
iiest days in India birds were trained
10 fight opposing bands. Whena pigeon
tournament was in progress the owners
ascended some lofty building and con-
ducted the performance by the aid Of
flags; and in obedience 10 their sig
mails fiocks of birds of different colors
would wheel, rise, dive andintermingle
to separate again and 60 through o
number of interesting movements that
were remarkable for their beauty.
Prizes were offered for the most beau
tiful and novel figures. In India in
carly times, where the sport of pigeon
flying originated, the object of the
flights was often a sanguinary one, the
owners of the various focls endeavor-
Ing to accomplish the destruction of
the others. Thus, the birds Of one band
would carry bombs with a fuse hanging
to their claws, and at the command of
their masters would sweep down over
their opponents. and the bomb would
drop among them and explode. Others
bore sharp knives, two-edged, suspend
ed from their claws, and were made to
dash among their antagonists and en-
deavor to cut them to pieces-an easy
matter when birds were in rapid mo
tion. To-day the triganiori, as they
are called, of Modena, devote themselves
to harmless pursuits, and are satisfied
when watching the wonderful evolu-
tions of the birds through the air.

Anecdote OF Jeremiah Mason.

Mr.. Mason was himself once subjected
to q species of cross-examination. Pc
ing IN Newport, a distinguished mem-
Der of the Rhode Island bar, who had
never before met him, had heard of
his habit of asking questions, especial
ly of new acquaintances, and when pre-
scented TO him he determined TO be
first in the field with regard to this
particular qualification, and, according
", began the conversation with q
series Of questions. He asked Mr.. Mason
whether he liked this, or whether he
affected that, and some of the ques-
tions were answered, while others were
Parried. Finally the interrogator said;
"Well, Mr.. Mason, tell me what you
do lil5e?"
Quick as a flash came the reply from
the great New Hampshire lawyer;
'Why, 1 like to sit in this chair and
have Rhode Island lawyer ask me
questions"
There were no more questions asked.

If we may judge from the number of
votes polled at the Union Republican
primaries last Saturday their strength
must be mach less than has been
thought. The total Republican vote in
Sussex in 1894 was nearly 1900 while
the number cast last Saturday by the
Unions was 447, about one-tenth. This
small per cent. of the total vote, how
ever, proposes to say what the whole
party shall do and to manage things in

FINCH SHOUTED MOI"

AND HIS REFUSAL TO SUPPORT
HIS WIFE TAKES HIM AGAIN
TO COURT.
When the Court of General Sessions
resume the hearing of the cases that
are scheduled for settlement this month
they will again pass upon a case which
they had hoped was settled 1t is the
case Of Mary Finch, who charges her
husband with non-support.
The case has been heard by Magis-
trate aDley several times, and Saturday
night the magistrates office was again
the scene of the couples troubles. On
September 20 Finch stood trial in the
Court of General Sessions and Chief
Justice Lore secured a promise from
the defendant that he would go back
with his wife and support her. The
case was dismissed but Finch did not
obey the askings of the court, hence
the suit last night. Magistrate Daley
asked Finch If ne proposed to obey the
courts ruling. He shouted mol! The
magistrate then held him for court.

If the judges of our courts need any
information relative to the bearing of
