While the reporter wasin Justice Firms
Office yesterday afternoon, young lad
OF about fourteen summers came in with
basket. and on the Judge asking him
what he could do forlhim, he stated he
had called to secure the bounty on forty
nine sparrows that he had,killed and had
with him. The birds we're counted out
and the boy handed an order on the
township treasurer ior..$1.47. The State
pays bounty Of cents on every spar
row killed, and the judgelsays he is often
called on by young boys OF the town to
pay the bounty on sparrows they had
killed, but that there was not near the
number OF BIRDS killed that one would
suppose from the large number seen
about our streets.

BACHELOR CLUB OF GIRLS.
Members Are Prohibited From Marrying
and Make other Strange Vows.

Members Are Prohibited From Marrying
and Make other Strange Vows.
A girls bachelor club has recently been
organized at Ponca City, o. IT,, for the
purpose, as the constitution recites, of ex-
alting the conditions of old maidenhood.
1t has fitted up elegant clubrooms, where
the members who arc the prettiest and
most accomplished young ladies OF the
town, spend their leisure hours. New
members are initiated with solemn rites,
in which they are compelled to make many
strange vows and agree to severe penalties
for their violation. The ritual prescribes
that the candidates shall promise to re-
main single, to make verbatim report
in open meeting of every proposal OF mar
riage received, to learn how to smoke Gig
arettes, to write a poem or story every
month, to perfect themselves in pistol
practice, to practice fencing and boxing
and not to permit their regard for any
Young man to exceed platonic friendship.
During the ceremony the members are
dressed in flowing white robes, peaked
caps and white masks, forming ghostly
company. The room is lighted with two
wax tapers, which shed pale radiance
over the scene. The penalty for breaking
the first vow is that the bride shall have
the members of the Bachelors club dressed
in their "spooky" costumes for her attend
ants. The rest of the penalties are equally
curious. -Chicago mes-Herald.

NEW CYCLING KING.
the Once Amateur Champion Must Lower
His Colors to Earl Peabody.

A. A. Zimmerman's great record of 103
1rsts in season has been successfully
broken by Earl w. Peabody, the Chicago
amateur, who recently completed his quest
by the addition of four firsts at the Macon
meet. Not satisfied with the mere break
ing of the great record of the grinder, Pea
body will continue to the close of the sea-
son and add to that record as many wins as
possible. With his l04 firsts at present he
has also 20 seconds and 90 thirds
Peabody is an amateur pure and simple.
He has Njoyed the greatest freedom all
the season in his long hunt, having been
supplied literally by the L. A. w. racing
board with travelling permits.
The father of Peabody has taken the
liveliest interest in the racing career of his
son, providing him literally with funds
for his great travelling. Peabody has not
gained his record by what is termed "pot
hunting" He has been at all the big
meets of the season, including all those
meets in the east at which national cham
pionships were run.
In the amateur national championships
he gained more points than any of the 9th
er amateurs, although he won but one of
the battles. Now that he has gained his
object and landed the great record of Zim-
norman, his father declares that Earl will
retire from racing and take up business
pursuits. Peabody learned to ride but last
year. when he was a scholar at the Chicago
university. He learned to ride that he
might defeat a member of his class who
was distasteful to him. He did defeat the
man and so easily, although but novice,
that he decided to do more racing. AT the
start of the present season he made the an
nouncement that he would attempt to beat
the record of Zimmerman, and that idea
| had been his all the season.
During his career this season he has won
| among other things:
Fifty-on diamonds, 9 medals, 9watches,
| silver tea sets, / silver water set, suits
| of clothes, l overcoat 3 umbrellas, rock
ing chair, 2 pairs of shoes, saddles,
pairs of tires, 4 stickpins, shaving mug,
watch chain, fountain pen, cardcase
boxes of cigars and each, camera, wal
| let, target rifle, opal stud, garnet ring
| fancy ring, carving set, silver vase ano
| $500 in merchandise. Glory has been hi!
| prize in six races.-New York World.

THE NEW BUOY LIGHT.
Colonel Heaps Invention May Revolu-
tionize the Lighthouse Service System.

Colonel Heaps lnvention may NeSoi"-
tionize the Lighthouse Service System.
The new acetylene gas buoy light, with
which Colonel ID. M. Heap, U. S. A, en-
gineer of the third lighthouse district,
has been experimenting and which gives
promise of revolutionizing this branch OF
the lighthouse service, is 300, the electric
ally lighted buoys average 200, and the
buoys lighted by the old gas system are
100 candle power The acetylene light, 1t
is announced, is far superior to Its COM
petitors in luminosity and penetrative
qualities. The new illuminant resembles
q limelight in color, but Is softer In effect
and does not hurt the eyes when one looks
at it. Moreover, according to the experts,
the new buoys can be manufactured for
$3.50 each, while the cost of the buoys used
under the old system is about III, 900 each.
In the buoy designed by Colonel Heap
the ingredients TINT go to make the new
gas are stored in three pipes, which are
connected directly with the burner OF the
lamp. What those ingredients are he de-
clined to make public, but he showed how
the gas is made by pouring grayish pow
der into a glassful of water. The effect
was as in the mixing Of seidlitz powder.
A match was applied to the foaming
LIQUID. an explosion followed and then the
gas was generated
The new buoy light. in addition to be-
ing more powerful than the electrically
lighted buoys, has this advantage. When
one of the latter gets out of order, the
whole chain of connected buoys is affected,
and this has been subject of great com
plant upon the part of mariners, whereas
| the new buoy light, standing alone, Is
alone affected and can be speedily replaced
by another. This point, it is thought
| will count largely in favor of its adoption
as the standard buoy light of the service
