THE WORLD AT LARGE.
Summary of the Daily News.
WASHINGTON NOTES.


In Washington that the Philippine
islands would be taken and held for
Indemnity.
THE state department at Washing
ton has learned through its secret
agents that the wreck of the battle
ship Maine, lying in Havana harbor,
has been destroyed by the Spanish au-
thorities. 1t was supposed by officials
of the administration that this action
ON the part of the Spanish authorities
has been taken to prevent raising OF
the wreck after the capture of Havana
AT the cabinet meeting at the white
house on the Sd it was decided to occu-
py the Philippine islands with strong
military force as soon as possible after
Commodore Dewey's report had been
received and it was thought that 5000
Pacific slope troops would be en- route
within ten days. 1t is the govern
ment's purpose to hold the islands to
secure the payment to the United
States of war indemnity.
SECRETARY LONG, of the navy depart
ment, announced on the Sd that Com
modore Dewey would be made an adj
miral in recognition of his victory at
the Philippine islands.
A BUREAU of transportation has be-
come necessary. The movement of
troops requires the direction of an eX-
perienced railroad man and W. r.
Blanchard, president of the General
Traffic association, has been chosen to
take charge of the work. He will be
attached to the quartermaster gener-
ais office at Washington.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY announced on
the 4th to a delegation of congress
men that he would shortly pardon
Capt John d. Hart, of the filibuster-
ing steamer Laurada, now serving a
two-years' sentence in the penitentiary
for his Cuban filibustering operations.
The president on the 4th sent the
following nominations to the senate:
For major generals: Brig. Gen. Joseph
c. Breckenridge, inspector general u.
g. A.; Brig. Gen. Elwell S. Otis, Brig.
Gen. John j. Coppinger Brig Gen.
William R. Shafter, Brig. Gen. William
II. Graham, Brig. Gen. James T.. Wade,
Brig. Gen. Henry G. Merriam; James
III. Wilson, of Delaware; Fitzhugh
Lee, of Virginia; w, j. Sewell, of New
Jersey; Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama.
THE Spanish mail found on the Ar
gonauta and sent to Washington in
cluded letters containing information
indicating that it was the intention of
Gen. Blanco to evacuate the eastern
end of Cuba and much of the southern
coast and concentrate his military
forces in Havana, Matanzas, Mariel
and other northern cities.
SPECIAL to the Chicago Journal
from Washington on the 5th stated that
Senator William j. Sewell, of New Jer-
sey, who has been appointed major
general by the president, may be Sc
lected to act as military governor of
the Philippines.
THE senate has confirmed all the
brigadier generals and the other mill
tary nominations recently made by
the president.
THE first assistant postmaster gem
eral on the 9th said that friends and
relatives of soldiers in the field in adj
dressing letters to them should mark
plainly the company and regiment to
which they belong, as by doing so the
distribution of the mail will be facili-
tated

Origin of the Fork.

It was q Somersetshire squire, one adventure seeking Tom Coryate, who finally delivered England from being altogether spoon-fed and gave it over to the enIightment of forks. This was when James I was king and when few of his subjects moved out of their own country for pleasure, 'the grand tour'' being still unknown, and beyond chan nel an undiscovered land to most true born Britons. At first the conservative British constitution waged fierce war on the heathenish innovation; topical fork attacking songs were sung on the stage, sonorous denunciation was hurl- ed from the pulpit, but the fork had actually come to stay and the better class soon found that, though fingers were made before forks, the latter could prove a most valuable aid-de- camp to the former, and so steel tri- dents gradually made themselves ne- cessity in the daintier section of so- ciety, though it was not until the mer- ry days of Charles II that they became understanded of the middle classes.

Medical examiners say that the high collars so much worn by both men and women are productive of dire physical results. The head is thus thrown for ward to relieve the back of the neck and this narrows the chest and de- creases the lung capacity.

CHRISTMAS TURKEYS.
A Great Number Consumed in the Biz
mingham District.

Birmingham is the largest consumers OF
turkeys and eggs, I believe, of any city
of its size in the United States" said
prominent Morris avenue merchant yes
terday afternoon. mo matter how heavy
we buy Of these two commodities, 1t looks
as if we cant get enough to supply the
constant demand.
81 know of one firm in this avenue, which
late this afternoon received a carload Of
dressed turkeys from Tennessee. Before
night they will have been delivered to the
various grocerymen in the city and imme-
date suburbs, and by tomorrow night all
of them will have been distributed around
to the families, preparatory for luxurious
bake on Sunday morning. There are about
1000 pounds Of turkey in the car 1 speak
of, packed in sixty big barrels. Each bar
rel contains on an average twenty-three
turkeys; so you see there are about 1,i0O
turkeys in the lot. That's what one Bir-
mingham firm is doing for the turkey trade
today.
Besides this, other of the Morris avenue
merchants have been bringing these
dressed turkeys into the city in great num-
bers during the past few days, to say moth
ing of the live turkey trade which has been
carried on by the market wagons and 9TH
ers. I estimate that between 5000 and
1900 of these great American fowls will go
to supply the demand for Christmas tur-
keys In the immediate vicinity of Bir-
mlngham this winter.
''The egg trade is equally as heavy, and
all this month the produce merchants have
found great difficulty in keeping up with
the demand. Since the 1st of December,
I should estimate that at least 1900 cases
have been sold off of this avenue alone.
AS each case contains from 80 to 96 dozen,
you can see that we have supplied the
good people of Greater Birmingham with
something over 10000 dozen eggs; in other
words, about 10000 pieces of 'hen-fruit.'
AS an egg-eating town, l think this is
doing pretty we'll"

To Drive blindfolded

One of the new and sensational features
of Lees great company of hypnotists' pro-
gramme during their week engagement
at OBrien's opera house next week will
be the driving of a hypnotized man
through the streets of the city and finding
a needle.
Mr.. Lee will have a committee of news
paper and business men drive from the
opera house over a circuitous route to some
spot agreed upon among themselves, dis
mount from the carriage and hide q needle
in that enighborhood, then get in the car
riage and drive back over different route
to the theater, where another committee
has been guarding Mr.. Lee and his assist
ants. Mr.. Lee will then hypnotic one of
his assistants, blindfold him and have him
driven at fast rate over the same streets,
making the same turns and stop at the
Identical spot where the committee pre-
viously did. The blindfolded, hypnotized
subject will then take the hand of one OF
the committeeman and find the needle go
back to the carriage, and drive back to the
theater over the same route previously
taken by the committee. On arriving at
the opera house the other committee, hav-
ing during the subjects absence written
letter to some prominent citizen, placed
it in a blank envelope, secreted among a
lot of other letters in a lock-box at the
postoffice, and then hid the key, will take
charge of him. He will find the key, go
to the postoffice, unlock the box, pick out
the letter and deliver it to the gentleman
to whom 1t is addressed on the inside.
This is only one of the new features the
Lees will introduce during the week. as
they give an entire change of programme
nightly. "Cake Walk" "Cataleptic Stat
ues' and Country School Teacher will
be the amusing features on Monday night.

COUNTY COURT
HOUSE CHANGES
Matter of Building an Addition
Has Been Dropped.
COURTS SNAPPED ABOUT
Jury Room Will be Torn Out and
Transformed Into Record Room
New Place for Second Di-
vision of City Court.
COURTS SNAPPED ABOU I

In order to facilitate the business of the
courts, several extensive changes will be
made at the courthouse.
Some months ago the question of build
ing an addition or a separate building in
Twenty-first street, to be known as the
criminal court building, was taken up for
consideration by the county commission
ers but it has been decided to drop the
matter for the present and to make some
changes in the west wing of the main
building on the second floor, which will re-
lieve the strain for the present and greatly
facilitate matters.
The partition in the present record room
of the city court, situated on the south
side Of the hall, will be torn out, making
a large room, which will either be used for
the second division of the city court or the
library ROOM in which event the present
library quarters, which are situated on the
left side of the main hall on the second
floor, will be used for the second division
courtroom.
The jury room in the northwest corner of
the building will be used as the record room
for the city court and a door will be cut
through to the clerks office. By this ar
rangement one jury room will be lost but
the change will greatly facilitate the BUSH
ness of the courts. and the loss of the jury
room will be more than compensated by
the convenience of the new arrangement.
At present the second division of the
court is held in a small room on the third
floor, making it very inconvenient for many
reasons. 1t is probable that the present Ii
brary room will be used for the second di-
vision and the library moved to the present
record ROOM
The contractors will begin the work on
Monday morning and will rush 1t to COM
pletion. The attaches of the city court
are greatly pleased at the proposed change
and feel satisfied that their work will be
greatly facilitated.
