ATTRACTIVE TO GAME.
Railroads That Pass Through Woods
the Resort of Beasts and Birds.

New York Sun.
"One of the best places in the woods to
see birds and small game" said a railroad
engineer the other day. lis along the tracks
of a railroad which runs through them. A
man s opportunities for observing game are
somewhat limited when he is swinging along
at the rate of forty or fifty miles an hour,
but on some of my runs ] see more wild life
than ! can find elsewhere in the woods for
week. My run is on the Delaware division
Of the Erie, great part of which runs
through the woods Of Pike county, in Penn
sylvania, and Sullivan county, ir New York.
This is a good season of the year to find
birds on the railroad. Another good time
is late in the summer. when the springs and
swamps dry up. Then they flock to the
water tanks and bitches along the road.
Early in the morning and late in the after
noon, on summer days, during a. drought,
of birds drinking and splashing away in
the water. 1t is astonishing how soon they
will lose their fear of d big, noisy engine.
Sometimes they will wait until the train is
almost upon them, and, when they fly, they
will alight on the nearby trees. The early
robins and bluebirds at this time of the
year, before the berries are ripe and when
insect life is hard to find, come to the tracks
to feed. They can pick up good deal of
grain that leaks from the cars. On my run
l see hundreds OF crows every week on the
tracks, and, a little later, coons, ground
hogs and even foxes will come out and eat
the grease and oil that drops upon the ties.
Last summer we used to see a monster
rattlesnake up between towers CO and PS,
east of Callicoon. On sunny days he was
always WARMING ululSSll Ill TIE same place.
on top of a big fiat rock. not more than
ten feet from the west-bound track. All
the fremen on the division used to throw
chunks of coal at him when they passed.
and he finally got so contemptuous about
their aim that he didn't move when a train
went by. A catamount visited the operator
at Block Station HX, up on the Honesdale
branch, one moonlight night last week, and
I guess they scared each other pretty badly.
Once in awhile, too, we see a deer. The
smooth roadbed seems to have a strange
fascination for them. You can see their foot
marks on the snow very frequently in the
winter, and track walkers and tower OPP
orators see them racing back and forth as
though they were playing train like chill
dren. They don't let the engine come very
near to them as usual thing, although
couple of years ago we around a
buck ahead of us on the track. He ran
along between the two rails ahead of the
engine for nearly two miles before he found
out that he could jump over them. Then
he went to the Delaware river. with his tail
erect and flying like a white flag on an en-
gine.''

the yardarm. The captain wrote down a
message at his dctation to his father, the
secretary of war. Within an hour the three
convicted men were unbound and taken un-
der guard to the gangway. They stepped out
on the plank. which was held up by a LASH
ing. the nooses were placed about their
necks, and at their requests, the usual
black caps We're placed over their heads.
The flag of the nation was then hoisted
to the peak, the signal gun fired, at which
a cutlass cut the rope which held the plank
and the three men swung off. AT the same
instant the captain called for three cheers
for the old flag from the crew, and then
three cheers for God Almighty.
Spencer's body was put in a box, and the
others in weighted hammocks, and all were
dropped into the sea.
When the Somers came into the port of

Mackenzie never had a happy hour after

The war of the rebellion made very mani

able points in the whole governmental sys-
tenn of the American nation The Nation

was compelled to defend itself and its great
commerce against piratical attacks from a
power that held equal privileges with itself
and in some cases superior advantages, in
the ports of neutral nations. Its ships of
war were given only the same rights in
these foreign and sometimes distant ports
that were possessed by those of its enemy
and those were to take on certain sup
plies. remain in port a limited time and in
certain cases he prevented from sailing
from the port of a neutral power in pursuit
of a war vessel of piratical craft fili-
buster or a blockade runner of the enemy
until that craft had a certain number of
hours start and time enough TO escape.
All these conditions and circumstances led
the secretary of state to the conclusion that
one of the first duties of this government,
on the close of hostilities and the recon
struction of the state governments of the
misguided citizens of the South. was TO Sc
cure adequate facilities for the accommo-
dation of vessels of the United States in
ports of its own when at distant points
from home. And then, il is not the dis
closure of a state secret to say that William

Fair BanL-vaudevilIe and Concert.

The vaudeville theater at Fair Bank is
now well established as a summer attrac-
ton and, judging by the performances dur
ing the first two weeks since the theater
opened, high-elass and entertaining acts
have been secured. The company announced
for this week will open with Decoration
day matinee Monday and regular matinees
are announced for Wednesday and Satur-
day. The Reilhoffer troupe of singers and
musicians promise a treat this week. Instru-
mental numbers will be given on the ordi-
nary either and the bow either and xylo-
phon, and the entire troupe will give native
yodling songs, in costumes, as well as other
lyric selections less distinctive of their ma
tive land. Franz Reilhoffer will also intro
duce his representations of historical and
living characters. The Casino Comedy Four
another number on the programme, is
well-known quartet of comedians and sing
ers who will probably prove a hit. An aero
batic dancing novelty is promised in the act
or the Randalles, team that was identified
with HydeS Comedians during the past
winter. Miss Marie Heath. the self-styled
little sunbeam" of the variety stage, will
give her serio-comic performance, and Barr
and Evans, two more comedians, will in
troduce their skit entitled "A Welcome
Visitor. In addition to the theatrical bill
the Fair Bank Band announces new con-
cert programme for the week.

PnrI-s.AInhnma,,

Those who seek holiday amusement to-
morrow should not overlook the Decoration
day performances of Alabama at the
Park Theater The intention had been to
wind up the season at the Park last night,
but owing to the attractiveness of the bill
presented there for the past two days it
was thought a good idea to repeat the play
tomorrow matinee and night, concluding
the season then. After the evening per-
Torrance tomorrow the Park will be dark
until early in August it's usual opening
time. Alabama" has not been seen here,
until the present time, for a number of
years and was never before played at pop
ular prices. 1t is a play admirably suited
to the entertainment of ali classes, and its
four acts tell a beautiful story of life in
the South Augustus Thomas never wrote
anything approaching it in strength and
charm, and it will suit the Decoration day
audiences at the Park better than almost
any bill that could be offered them. Spe-
cialties of varied character will be intro
duced between the acts and the music of
the play will be made patriotic, in keeping
with the holiday and the present war period

That this patriotic resolution voiced

there was not vote or voice registered

denim his administration.
