PROTECTION FOR OUR HENS
Competition of Pauper Sea Birds
With American Hens Must End.

San Francisco, March 1.-At the solicit
tation of the committee on bird protection
of the Orthnologists union, of which Prof.
Leverett NJ Loomis of the California
Academy of Sciences is a member, the
government officials have set the seal of
their displeasure on the importing of the
seabird eggs from the Farrallones- the
lighthouse board at Washington, which
has the affairs of the Farrallones in
charge a. a sort of United States govern
ment preserve, has issued decree that
the traffic in the eggs of the seabirdS OF
the island must cease.
The mandate of the lighthouse board
will bring to a close a unique industry of
this city. The eggs of the Murre, or fool
ish guillemot, have been shipped to the
markets of the city in great quantity
ever since 1S49, at which date they were
almost the only fresh eggs to be had,
bringing over 81 a dozen. The birds were
present in the breeding season from May
until August on the islands in such count
less thousands that although perSistently
robbed, their numbers seemed to show no
appreciate elimination In recent years,
however, naturalistS have noticed the eff
feet of the annual persecution of the vast
colonies, and several had fears that they
might become extinct. AS a result of the
investiga ton, the prohibitive measure has
been enacted.
AS high as 10000 dozen of the eggs were
annually brought to market by the Greek
and Italian fishermen. They are twice
the size of an ordinary hens egg, for
which they are said to be excellent
substitute, and they sold at retail from
Is to 25 cents per dozen. During the past
four or five seasons the Greeks have been
driven off and the egg industry has been
carried on by the lighthouse keeper on
the EarrallOneS.

But Miss Maud Stalnaker Got a
81, 300 Job Just the Same.

Washington, March Miss Maud
Stalnacker has been appointed a clerk
in the bureau of statistics of the state
department at a salary of 81 200 a year.
Miss Stalnaker is the young woman who
was rejected by the war department
some time since after she alone had
passed the examination required for the
place by the civil service commission
The duties of the office in the war de-
partment which she sought required a
thorough knowledge of French, Ger
man Spanish and English.
Miss StaInaker was found to possess
all of the qualifications, but was reject
ed by the adjutant general on the
ground of her sex. The main reason as
cribed for desiring a man was that the
duties of the office involved the ire
quent use of ladders in getting down
and putting back file records, and con-
seQuently was regarded as not suited to
a woman
AS one of the officials bluntly put IL:
Miss Stalnaker was rejected because
she could not climb a ladder" Conse-
ouently another examination was nee

SAVED BY THE BUTLER.
RockefelIer's Mansion is Raided by
Burglars

New York, March THAT the coun-
try house of John D. Rockefeller at
Tarrytown, was not looted of every
thing worth carrying off is due to the
fact that Butler Dan Kennedy sleeps
with one eye open, and burglar struck
some loud fire matches in an adjoining
room.
The burglars, a trust investigating
committee of three, entered the house
by the telephone room. While two re-
manned in the dining room to pack up
the silverware, the other went upstairs
to get little ready money. He en-
tered the second floor room adjoining
the buffers in which was Kennedy'S
trunk, containing $3.50 besides clothing.
One of his matches exploded loudly
enough to waken Kennedy, who seized
a revolver and went into the hall The
burglar did the same. Clutching Ken
nedys $3.50, the burglar gave a shout
and made a leap down the stairs. Ken

ing, while the burglar yelled run
Kennedy reached the dining room in
time to see his man and two others go
out through the window. AS he went
he fired twice and then seized a shot
gun, and as the trio went over the lawn
sent the contents of both barrels after
them.
An inventory of the silver showed
that the burglars had taken none Of it.

Cleveland, O., March About 500 Demo-

Saturday night to agree on a candidate
for mayor. Two-thirds of the crowd were
wild silveriteS and the remainder were
Farley gold men. They were foaming for
fight.
Chairman Hart read a set of resolutions,
the gist of which was that no candidate
be nominated for mayor who did not sup
port and vote for w. J. Bryan at the last
election. This brought forth howl of
rage, and a dozen men tried to speak at
once.
but the question was what kind of man
was wanted for mayor.
I'VE want a good man. he said, land
not necessarily silver man.

The turmoil and uproar was tremendous.

MRS. M'KTNLEY'S SHOES.
To Be Worn on Inauguration Day
Being Made in Wisconsin.

Beloit, Wis, March Mrs Mckin-
ley will wear Wisconsin shoes on the
day of her husbands Inauguration as
president, and they are now being
made for her at a factory near this
city The order came from her shoe
dealer in Canton. There are two pairs
one of silk and the other of kid. One
pair is made of the finest black kid that
can be procured in the market
In order to get the very highest grade
of kid four small skins were selected,
and only a square piece cut out of the
center of each of these was used in the
making of this one pair of shoes. This
skin is as fine as silk. Kid gloves were
never made of finer The shoes are
known among the trade as lace boots
with a Louis XIV. heel. They are lined
with black surah silk and the eyelets
are worked with silk. They are hand
sewed turned with kid tips, and the
heels are an inch and a half high.
The other pair is made of black satin,
and is also known as a lace boot, with
a Louis XIV. style of heel 1t is also
hand-sewed, turned, and has eyelets
worked in silk. The lining is of cream
silk The toes are plain and the heels
are an inch and a half high. Both
shoes are the finest product of the fac
tory No hand could make finer cloth
ing for the feet of the first lady of the
land.
Mrs. Harrison also wore shoes from
the Beloit factory when her husband
was inaugurated eight years ago.

WITHOUT A FIRE ENGINE.
Casey, Ill, is Almost Wholly De-
stroyed by Fire.

Post-Dispatch from Casey, Ill. says:
The first fire that has occurred here in
ten years started at 2:15 o'clock this
morning in the two story brick block
occupied by the following business
firms: Fuqua & Sons bank, H. & B.
Lee company, E. L. Single, D. c.
Sturdevant r. A. Lee, NJ. C. Cochenour,
M. Sanford & Sons, Hancock & Clark
and others. Property valued at $780,
600 was destroyed.
A streong wind was blowing at the
time. The flames soon spread to two
adjoining blocks and the entire bust
ness portion of the town was in danger.
At o'clock a.. m. the mayor made an
attempt to communicate with Terre
Haute for assistance, but the telegraph
companies could not raise their Terre
Haute office. The town was at the
mercy of the flames, being without
fire engine.
The Casey bank building is wrecked.
The vault, however, is intact. The
poStoffice is badly damaged, but no
mail destroyed. The block in which
the fire started was almost completely
destroyed. 1t was the handsomest in
the town.

HOROSCOPE FOR M'KINLEY
St Louis Astrologer Predicts an Ex-
citing Administration.


St Louis March If the horoscope of
the Mckinley administration cast by
Julius Erickson, the young aStrOlOger of
this city, is fulfilled, the president-elect
will have four years of marked excite
ment. Erickson among other things
says:
If McKfnley's Inauguration takes place
at 12:45 there will be grave danger of the
country drifting into war. There will be
cold comfort for the Democratic party in
this because they will not be able to win
four years hence
The opponents of Major Mckinley as
sert that the policy of the administration
will be decidedly in favor of the trusts,
corporations, plutocrats and money grab
bers. L beg to differ with them. The as
trOlogical indications point to the con-
trary. In fact there will be a general
breaking up of plutocratic organizations,
which will necessarily rebound to the ben
eft of the masses.
The administration will be distinctly
American and startling news may be ex-
pected from Washington from March IS
to 20. Martial men and martial measures
will be to the fore.
Il think that we will have considerable
excitement this coming year and plenty
in Illinois, and fear that the latter part
of this year and the first of next will wit
ness stirring scenes in the prairie state
Congress will incline to act harmon
iously and I think that the annexat ton
spirit will be strongly developed.
ut is doubtful whether we will have
the prosperous times that have been
promised US at once within six months.
but the indications point to a prosperous
administration in the long run"

THE fight made upon Governor
