SINGS "ANNiE ROONEY"
A Wonderful Bird Chirps Every Note oi
the Old Ballad.

A Wonderful Bird Chirps Every Note Of
the Old Ballad.
The chorus Of the out of date song
"Annie Rooney" was sung by canary
bird in New York recently for the first
time. The canary is the property Of Au-
gust Luchow. whose place of business
is in Fourteenth street. Mr.. Luchow
bought the bird in Philadelphia not
long ago for a large sum of money on
the guarantee that it could sing the
song literally like bird, and sing ii
did.
For days together it had sulked in its
cage and resisted every effort to induce
it to raise tuneful lay of any kind,
but it finally responded to encouraging
sounds made by young man with his
lips. Next he whistled the notes of the
song, the canary meanwhile hopping
from perch to perch and occasionally
spreading its yellow wings as if trying
to escape from its pretty wire prison.
The next instant it had assembled to q
perch, raised its head high in the air
and become strangely agitated. Its lit
tie body trembled violently and its
throat throbbed perceptibly. Then it be-
gan to sing ever SO sweetly, and the ia
miliar notes of "she's my sweetheart"
rolled melodiously from its amber beak.
1t had broken its long and sullen silence
and proved itself the Patti of birds--in
fact. the only bird of its kind that was
ever able to sing the song. g.-New York
Journal.

When singer has been commanded
to Windsor, her majesty does not, as a
rule, send check as return for the
pleasure she has enjoyed. Instead she
forwards some pretty or useful gift.

ent of books, jewels, framed photo

M. Jean dc Reszke, Johannes Wolff and
Signor Toste are all possessors of costly
pins. bestowed on them by the sovereign.
When Mime. Patti last appeared at
Windsor, she received very beautiful
diamond and sapphire brooch, and when
Mime. Antoinette Sterling sang before
the queen she was presented with an ex-
quisite silver tea service, upon which
this amiable lady Of quaint remarks is
said to have exclaimed, II have pro-
vided for her majesty's aesthetic and
she provides for my temporal enjoy
ments."

Lieutenant O'Brien's Case Recalls . West
Point Incident.

Lieutenant O'Brien's Case Recalls West
Point Incident.
Young John A. Logan, who desired
to be President McKinley's minister to
Austria and who Is an applicant for a
diplomatic post, will take peculiar in
terest in the announcement from Wash
ington that Lieutenant Michael James
O'Brien, Fifth United States infantry,
is likely to be court martialed as the re-
suit of dispute between him and Cap
tain Romeyn, also Of his command.
Lieutenant O'BIien, while cadet at
West Point. had young Logan court
the young man being Obliged to tender
his resignation rather than accept the
humiliation Of dismissal
During Logan's third month as ca
Diet he was doing guard duty one night,
when Cadet O'Brien was officer of the
day. O'Brien, to test Logan's proficien-
cy in the duties of sentinel, came up
ON him rather Unexpectedly. Logan
shouted the familiar "Who comes
therel" but O'Brien made no response.
Logan repeated the cry, but still re-
ceived no answer.
Walking toward the unknown intru-
der, Logan. according to O'Brien's
story, shouted, "By -, who comes
there" O'Brien Immediately preferred
charges against Logan for using profane
language. A court martial was ordered,
but Logan on his defense claimed that
his language was misunderstood, and
that instead of "By -" he said "By
guard"
While the result Of the trial was pend
ing Logan broke his confinement one
night and went to the village In COM
pany with another cadet General Mer-
ritt, the then superintendent, caught
both men az they were returning to the
barracks. Neither waited for any trial,
but rendered their designations. Cadet
Lawton, who was with Logan, had on
