They Are Too Heterogeneous 10 suit
Many of Those IN Authority.
Many persons have been urging since
the Inauguration day parade that here
after the procession from the capitol
to the white house shall be made up of
United States and District of Columbia
soldiery exclusively, and that the par
ticipation Of political clubs and march
ing organizations shall be discouraged
for more than one reason. The first
one urged is that the parade of regulars
and national guarlsmen is the ouiy
part of the procession that is really
gratifying, as is shown by the tendency
to abandon the stands after the uni
formed men have passed by. The see.
oDd is that the participation of political
clubs adds mere mass of men . the
line. extending it to such length that
the president, not yet quite recovered
from the strain of very trying day,
is compelled out of courtesy TO stand
in an open rostrum for hours TO take
bis bat OF to marchers who have little
to offer in return except display OF
enthusiasm. They are apt to be clothed

pared to show tonight; they wear alb
surd hats and carry preposterous UNI
brellas and twirl them over their pink
contract oyercoats; too many Of them
sre plainly tough" and some Of then,
ere not too sober by the time the re-
viewing stand has been reached. The
procession on March was very large
as to its soldier part. Il was CORE
spondingiy satisfactory. Only Senator
Stewart, Of Nevada, shook his head at
the array of men with arms. fearing
that some day it would be too large a
contingent, summoned 10 enforce some
edict against the liberties OF the peo-
pie. But the same concern might b..
felt for any accumulation of men 10
honor the Inauguration Of president.
The absence of large numbers of Iniliti..

WINGED PIRATES AT SEA.

orally Capture n stehmer.
A horde OF pirates boarded the steam
er walla Walla the other day when shs
was Is mics on Cspe Mendocino on
the Pacific coast.
There were about zoo of them. and
they swarmed over the vessel, laying
about them 10 right and left. and
plunging their swords into everything
that seemed of value.
Their gorgeous plumage fiuttering
about the deck made the ship seem like
bird faneier's shop, for these pirates
were big flock of hummipg birds with
stif land hreeze behind them. They
had burst suddenly out of dense fog.
and alighted on the vessel at dusk.
The birds seemed so nearly dead with
hunger and fatigue that they had lost
all fear of human beings. They had
probably been driven on shore by the
land breeze and lost in the fog. Some
of them perched on the first solid ar
tieles they saw. gave two or three lit
tie gasps. and then tumbled over dead.
Some went straight for the heads of
two or three women passengers who
wore flowers in their hats, and began
buzzing about them as ipdnstriously
as if the flowers contained nectar. One

not get cut without assistance. Third

one on his mustache, and neither bird

The captain and the passengers
quickly did all they could to care for

brought out pans of water and bread

birds made haste To I'LL themselves
Some Of them ate until they were 50
full that they rolled over on their sides
and lay on The deck. blinking happily
at all around them. LAMPS of sugar
soaked in water were their greatest de

less the Jumps were held in someone's
half-closed hand.
Capt Wallace held lump Of sugar il
his mouth and two of the birds buzzed
about his face and sucked at tie sugar

birds in his cabin over night, and many
Of the passengers bad dozen each in
their rooms
When the vessel was close TO Point
Reyes the next day most of the birds
were liberated. ard as soon as they
looked about and saw land many few
directly TO it. But about 50 did not care
to risk 50 short journey over the
ocean wave. and decided to stick to the
snip.
But the sea voyage, following the
hardships and exhaustion OF the day
before, was too much for the frail lit
tie things and they gradually dropped
and died. When the WsIla WaIla came
into port here the captain still had four
humming birds alive, ard the passen-
gers had as many nore.-Chicsgo Jour
