rurm.RyI.~D FIsu.HAwK.

Tho Baltimore Sun had in Its Issue or
last Monday a letter from Easton on
Maryland tide water. descriptive OF the
nshhawk. which abounds there. that we
read with as much interest as anything
we have seen for long time.
Describing the habits Of this bird the
writer told us that one OF the peculiari-
tics connected with 1t was the fact that
,be tree in which 1t builds Its nest al
WAYS dies. There has been much specu-
lation as 10 the cause Of this but the
theory most generally accepted Is that the
dead wood which the hawk carries TO the
tree TO build with IS infested with ants,
hugs and other insects that leave It and
feed upon the sap OF the tree.
The writer described most graphically
the habits Of the hawk when fishing. II
was truly interesting he said to see
hawk polse in the air two hundred feet
above the surface Of the water when his
keen eve detected fish ten or twelve feet
under the surface and close his wings,
droop his head, spread his tail out like
fan 10 steer him and dart with the pre-
cision OF lightning upon the fish which he
rarely failed 20 bring UP. Sometimes.
however he fastened his claws in fish
too heavy for him anu sometimes they
become so fastened that he could not de-
tach them, in which case the fish held bin
In those cases the fish always swims 10
the nearest shoal water where the crabs
eat the hawk up down TO his talons and
the fish then RECEIVERS from the wound in
a surprisingly short time.
We cannot say when we read letter
with more interest than this one. That
invariable death of the tree in which the
hawk builds and the friendly service Of
the crabs aroused an emotion OF surprise
in our mind, TO speak moderately. but 1t
never entered our head to question the
accuracy and truthfulness Of a writer
who told his story so artlessly and so
naturally as this one.
Next day. however, the Sun came out
editorially and told its readers that the
hawk story was an allegory. That the
big fish was the Democratic party OF
Maryland and the hshhawk was German.
in 1895 the fish dived deep down into the
water and drowned the hawk. but the
body still remained clinging to the fish's
back. Next November however, the FISH
will swim into shoal water and allow the
crabs. namely. the Republican party, to
devour the remains. After that the
wounds in the back of the fish will quick
ly heal and the fish will 90 on his way
rejoicing.
1t is nard to forgive the Sun for spoil
ing such a pretty story but If Maryland
gets rid of her fshhawk we shall be con-
tent.

TODAY,

Joe Fife, the negro boy who is to hang
this morning. never said n better thing
than when he yesterday asked that his
race use him as an example and that 1t
keep 10 its class.
He repeated that he was sorry for his
crime, but was ready 10 die. He even
smiles when he contemplates the end.
The boy says he is confident that his
sins have been forgiven and that he Will

His father will remain with him almost

yesterday and everything was put
i'm readiness for the end. a bag OF sand
weighing 200 pounds was dropped through

teen inches.
The body will be turned over 10 the
Anaomical Board for disposition. but the
probability is the board will turn IL over
TO the parents OF the boy.

England's Trouble with the Afgbans'
The Crop Report,
England's Afghan Trouble.

There havo been three British wars with
Afghanistan during the victorian sixty
years. and the news from the Khyber
Pass seems ominous OF another.
one OF tine earliest military tragedies
OF the Queens reign was the appalling
massacre OF McNaghten's command in
one Of the passes leading southwark from
Cabul into India. over 5000 men, women
and children, retreating from the Afghan
capital under pledges OF peaceful jour

survived the slaughter and ne, badly

The society of United Brethren,

any other church was erected, used
by all orthodox denominations who
requested permission to use it. The
spirit of advancement and the in
crease of the congregations demand
larger house.
