PLOT TO INJURE MARIETTA
Minister ii. l.. Wilson of Chile Frus-
trated the Spanish scheme.

New York, April l5.-It is stated that
there was a plot here to injure the United
States gunboat Marietta while she was in
this port, says the Valparaiso correspond
ent of the Herald.
just prior to the arrival of the Mari
eta the United States consulate in Val
paraiso was informed by trustworthy per-
sons that an attempt against the gun
boat was contemplated by Spanish sub
jects in Chile Immediately upon receipt
of this information the United States, Mr..
Henry L. Wilson, Consul John f. Caples
and Vice Consul August Muller, Jr call
ed upon the governor of the province and
laid the matter before him. This explains
the unexpected trip of the United States
minister from Santiago to Valparaiso.
Once acquainted with the fears of the
American representatives and the facts in
the case the government Immediately
gave assurance that the city and mari
time authorities would take precaution
to protect the Marietta, and extended,
through the minister, a cordial welcome
to the officers and seamen
During the stay of the Marietta no
greater vigilance could have been exer-
cised by the Chilean authorities had the
safety of one of their own warships de
pended upon them Before the gunboat
sailed the American minister consul and
vice consul, accompanied by Captain Sy-
monds of the Marietta, called upon the
governor and on behalf of the United
States government thanked the Chilean
authorities for what had been done to
protect the warship

Here is an idea for the boys to think
Of. If it can be made practical, it would
be very convenient in neighborhOo-.
where the houses were not near each
other, and would bring one OF the
luxuries Of city life to the inmates, says
American Farmer.
TO make good and serviceable tele-
phone. good from one farm house to
another, only requires enough wire and
two cigar boxes. First, select your
boxes and make a hole about half an
inch in diameter in the center Of he
bottom of each, and then place one in
each of the houses you wish TO connect;
then get five pounds of common iron
stoye-pipe wire; make loop In one end
and put it through the hole in your
cigar box and fasten it with nail; then
draw 1t tight to the other box, support
ing II. when necessary, with stout
cord. You can easily run your line into
the house by boring hole through the
glass. Support your boxes with Stats
nailed across the window, and your
telephone is complete. The writer has
one that is two hunded yards long, and
cost forty-fye cents that will carry
music when the organ is played thirty
feet away in another room.

encing Rare Delights.
| Last Tuesday marked the opening of
| the quail season for the District of
| Columbia and vicinity, and since then
| Washingtonians have been enjoying q
feast of the delicate, savory birds. The
| enjoyment is all the keener because OF
the knowledge of the limited time allow
ed by the law for the sale of this most
delicious Of all game birds.
Birds are plentiful this year but that
fact has not made them any cheaper than
usual. Many thousands have been killed
by pot-hunters in Maryland and Virginia
and brought into the city to be conspicu-
ously recorded on bills of fare In all the
first-class restaurants
Many of the birds, too have been ship
ped from farther South. The quail re-
ceived so far are in good condition. The
cold weather has been in their favor and
for few weeks they will be at their
best.
The opening of the quail season is al
ways an event of interest to local sports
men. and many parties are being made
up for few days shooting during the
next week or two. Within two or three
hours ride of Washington by rail one
can come upon country noted for the
number and fineness of the birds where
sport is excellent.
Perhaps there is no game bird which
has greater vogue during its season
than the quail. 1t is the delight of the
epicure. excelling even the dainty reed
bird. and cooked In the American style
of broiling or the English way of roast
ing without any stuffing, it is the most
delicious of the feathered tribe.

earnest work of the Fish and Game Pro-
tective Association, are very stringent and
everything possible is done for the pres
