sparrows Being Driven Away.

tFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch.)
The little English sparrow, which Tor
many years has been considered pest
in Pittshurg, seems to have lost his grip
in this city Slowly but surely he is be-
ing driven from the towns crowded
streets into the fields OF the country,
where he has better cha nee to get his
meals re gularly.
The spurrows have been moving from
this city for the past six years, until
there are compa ratively few of them
left. They no longer hover over the streets
in great numbers chattering like magpieS,
driving her birds out of the ward, and
waking all late sIeepers long before they
wish to get up. No longer is the pedestrian
worried by flash of brown and sharp
squeak as the little atom darts past his
face, md wings away, shaking his feathers
in evident joy at the scare he gave the
citizen. Though not entirely gone, the
sparrow is not so numerous, and as he
decreases in numbers he grows mod est and
retiring.
There are many reasons advanced for
tions ranks He doesn't find the streets OF
Pittsburg such fine picnic ground as when
lie efirstcame TO town. The white te-suitedman
who daily sweeps the highways is a
modern and successful competitor of the
pugnacious bird, who is o scavenger born
and bred. He cannot fill his little stom
ach with what he prizes from between
cracks in the cobblestone pavements now,
and what he can pick from the clean as
phalt after white wing has been there
will not put much fat ON his bones.
Rapid transit, too, seems to be against
him. 1t would be difficult to convince one
that anything moving could worry the
sparrow, who, to all appearance. seems to
fear neither God, man nor any of their
works, but the trolley car has been too
much for him. He is quick as lightning
himself, but in the trolley car he has had
O warm rival. His old-tiine friend. the
horse. didn't treat him this way. He had
plenty of time when dealing with the
horses, but now he has to work with one
eye on his dinner and the other on Con-
solidated Company's vehicle.
The slaughter Of the little fellows has
been great, too. For many years the gun
clubs in and around Pittsburg have been
in the habit of giving sparrow shoots,'
Hundreds of the birds are killed at each
meet. And every schoolboy seems to have
thought the sparrow legitimate prey, and
slungshots as well as sparrow guns" are
used with fatal accuracy.
II the truth be told, the public is not
sorry to see this. He has driven almost
all the other birds from Pittsburg's shade
trees, and has given nothing but annoy
ance in return.

NO FEAR OF AN INVASION
ALL SUBMARINE MINES IN HARBORS
TO BE REMOVED AT ONCE.
Engineers Instructed to Explode
Them. if Deemed Necessary-Im-
pOrtant Decision by the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Secretary
of War has ordered the removal of all the
submarine mines which now protect the
harbors Of the United States against the
entry of hostile ships. This action was de-
cided on at to-day's Cabinet meeting. For
weeks past in fact almost since the begin
ming of hostilities the War Department has
been deluged with protests from the com
merciai interests of the country against
the continuance of these mines which OPP
Grated to the great detriment of commerce.
In certain cases influences were brought to
bear that secured an abatement of the
rules but this only increased the dissatis-
faction in localities where they were rigid
ly applied. Practically it has been impos-
sible for ships to enter or leave any of the
harbors OF the United States during the last
two months between the hours of sunset and
sunrise. The decision of the Cabinet to re-
move these mines now is one of the most
signal manifestations of the supreme con-
hdence of the government of the future
exemption of the United States ports from
attack at the hands of any hostile power
After thoroughly considering the subject it
has been decided by the engineers that the
safest and quickest means of removing the
mines is by exploding them, and orders to
do this have been prepared for transmits
sion to all of the United States officers in
charge of harbor defenses throughout the
country
Many military men were opposed to yield
ing to the pressure of the commercial in
terestS. and some of them are predicting
that not a few of the communities which
have been earnest in their demand for
the removal of the mines will be frantically
clamoring for protection at the very first
rumor of the presence of a hostile gunboat
or cruiser off their coast
1t was said tonight that the order of re-
moVal is TO apply to localities. where the
interests of commerce demand the same. In
cases where it is safe an effort will be made
them. wherever there is any doubt they will
be exploded. The action of the sea in some
instances caused the dynamite In the from
enipsoidal vessels to ooze out through the
screw threads where the plug is inserted
and unless the greatest care is taken the
removal OF the plug may cause an explosion
II VIII be some days before the actual oper-
alton of removing or exploding the mines
can De put in operation, and the question
as 10 whether the interests of commerce de-
mand II will be left to the discretion of en-
gineer officers having jurisdiction over the
various districts of the United States Or
of the Cabinet will be sent to them imrne-
diately. Care will be exercised by these
officers to avoid any accident While the
mines proper are TO be removed all the in
cidental attachments necessary to their in
stallation and operation will be retained
such as the classmates, anchors, the cable
connections and the switch boxes so that
If Ii is found necessary TO replace the mines
1t may be done on the shortest notice.

Can Get Along Without II.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Before the war
began our government accumulated stock
of coal at st. Thomas West Indies.
Most of it was ashore, but thousand tons
were on schooner lying in the harbor.
Twice since the war broke out the United
States has availed of this coal, once to sup
ply the Minneapolis and once the Mont
gomery, but as each was bound for the
nearest home port and took only enough
coal to carry them there, 1t was fairly as
sumed there had been no breach of neutral
ity. However, it appears that there is now
a disposition exhibited by the Danish au-
thorities to prevent the United States ships
from using coal, and as there is no ques-
ton of their right to lay down such a rule
the coal itself probably will be let alone.
Fortunately there is no particular need for
1t, as there are other means of coaling a
fleet now in use The incident is one which
will be used as a strong argument for the
establishment of coaling stations in various
parts of the globe for the benefit of the
United States navy

ment and action. Such an attitude will rem
der more effective the protest which the
church must needs make against those or
CARNATIONS which menace in various ways
the moral and social life of the community
and at the same time enable the church

in the lives of men which such omnipresent
organizations revealed, for this suggestive
sign of the times has large lessons for the

passage:
Resolved, That we gratefully recognize
the fraternal and philanthropic purpose OF
many of the secret organizations, we deem
it the privilege and the duty of the church
to meet in more generous and Christian
ways the social ways OF the neighborhoods
in which they are organized-to the end
that whatever tends to lower the social and
moral tone of the community may be met
and supplanted by the higher social SER
vice and warmer Christian fellowship of the
church OF Cod
