New York, May 25.-Not since
the stirring days of 81 has New
York so thrilled with patriotic
the Sixty-ninth and Ninth Regiments,
New York Volunteers, marched through
the city on their way South. The streets
were packed with cheering thousands and
gay with waving flags. Everywhere was
wild enthusiasm for the departing SOL
diers. Their march was triumphal
progress. Whatever honor could be done
welcome was theirs.
1t seemed as though business were al
most suspended. Street traffic ceased
wherever the soldiers marched, and while
they were in sight shop windows and
house fronts were merely points of want
age to view the departing boys in blue.
New York gave her gallant guardsmen a
send-off that must stin ring in their ears
as they speed southwark.
But one unpleasant feature marred the
outpouring of loyalty and enthusiasm.
The police arrangements were entirely in
adequate for the immense throngs that
filled the streets, and at times the confu.
sion was great NO serious accidents,
however, were reported.
The Ninth Regiment left Jersey City at
5:45 o'clock. The second and third sections
OF its special train and Its baggage train
left at intervals of five minutes. The
Sixty-ninth left at 7:1S o'clock. The Sec
ond and third sections of Its train left at
intervals of five and seven minutes. re-

c. L. A. Boys Now Leading in the
League Race.
The fifth game of the Indoor Base Ball
League, to be played next Thursday even
ing, finds the contesting clubs the Y. NJ.
H. A. and the C. L. A. in an interesting
position. The Library boys are now in
The lead with the Y. M. H A. so close
that should the latter win Thursday they
will take the lead in the race The Y. NJ
C. A. are still trailing the bunch, but with
their greatly strengthened team in shape,
they will soon be fighting among the lead
ers.
The directors of the league regret that
the games have not been patronzed as
literally as last seasons. This is attrib-
uted to the fact that most of the mer-
chants have been busy until late at night
recently, but when the Christmas rush is
over it is expected that the attendance
will pick up materially. Thursdays
game especially is expected to bring up
a crowd, for aside from the fact that the
winning team will lead in the pennant
race, the last time these teams met they
played a close and exciting game up to
the closing innings, when the Library
boys ran into a batting streak and won
their game in the eighth inning.
The Y NJ. H. A. boys play a very snap
by game and watch every point, which
was demonstrated in the last game when
Doty, the Y. NJ C. A. third baseman evil
IDENTIFY went asleep on the bag while H.
Kayton went home from second base
making double steal on one pitched bali.
Doty has the makings of a good indoor
ball player and by paying a little more at
tention to the game would make splen-
did man for that team.
The Eltons were in the last game but
they seem to have lost their famous bat
ting eye Barbour played his first game
last week, and showed up in splendid
style. being very strong at the bat King,
the Y. NJ. c. AS catcher, played under
a very big disadvantage in the last game,

Dluckily played the game out Hohenstein
could not find the plate in last weeks
game. which was very fortunate for the
Y NJ H. A. who showed themselves TO
be good walters.
Capt Bob Brady of the Library team
will be in this weeks game, as he is now
fully recovered from his recent Illness.
which kept him out of last weeks game,
and while the C. L. A. boys won, sdll il
was very evident thar they missed their
popular captain. Downey is playing the
fastest game in the league at left short,
and is always in the game.
The batteries for the next game will be
Horrigan and Sullivan for the c. L. A.,
and Morrison and Kayton for the Y. NJ.
II. A. Horrigan proved to be a big STUN
bling block to the Hebrew boys in their
last game. and the support that he receiv-
ed from Sullivan was excellent
Morrison is gaining confidence in himself
and is fast becoming a reliable pitcher,
while Kayton, who catches him, is one
of the best players in the league.

THAT CHRISTMAS STORM.

Richard Dale returned home after a
morning spent in a vain search for en-
ployment.
AS he entered the sitting room his sister
Jessie met him with a troubled face
oh, Richardr she exclaimed, isn't
this a sad Christmas evel Mother is so
much worse. She has had those pains again
and all that medicine is gone. 1t is the
only thing that helps her. What shall we

We've not a cent of money to buy more

morning, but couldn't get a job of any
kind" and Richard threw himself into a
chair with an air of utter disbursement.
"But something must be done" said Jes-
sic desperately. I'VE can't let her suffer
So I've put a mustard plaster on her. and
she's little easier. II we had some OF
that medicine il would stop The pain at
once"
Perhaps Mr.. Martin would let us have

brother.

Richard sighed. II don't see what we can

diers. A young parrot makes fine eating.
None of the tropical birds i'm the mar
ket are bred in captivity, but must all be
captured in their native haunts just before
they are fully nedged For this purpose
we constantly employ parties of men in
Africa Australia South America and
Cuba. These men, with natives TO help
them, wander far into the woods in quest
of birds Ii is dangerous business. Six
of our men have lost their lives at ii, either
falling a victim to the deadly fevers of the
jungle or being murdered by the wild
tribes.
Third on the list comes not one va
riety but a score, classified under the gen.
eral name of wild birds These include
hooking birds, cardinals and the European
fnches Mocking birds and cardinals we
buy in New Orleans from the collectors
They come from the Southern states and
from Mexico. We handle in Europe and
America 5000 mocking birds and 10000 car
dnals year.
Fourth and last in my stock come the
birds of fancy plumage, such as the Afri-
can finches and paroquets. Cockatoos are
included In the list The demand for the
beautiful bird comes almost exclusively
from showmen. We handle 200 cockatoos
a year.
"A singular point in the trade is that
the bird business in America is confined
absolutely to a few standard varieties.
1t is impossible to introduce new bird IN
the United States. We ship all such to
Europe, where people go Wild over them
Birds are sold chiefly to working peo-
pie. The rich do not seem to care for
them. They prefer to spend money on
high-bred dogs, horses and cats.
I'm Germany five large factories run the
year round turning out wooden cages in
which birds are shipped by the million.
In America five factories are kept busy
making wire cages of all sorts

throughout Europe. Then there are tropi-
cal birds to be taken from Cuba, South
America and Africa.
"Canaries are bred exclusively in Ger
many. Private families over there who
have a room to spare fit it up for raising
birds Rent is paid annually there, about
Oct. /, when canaries are ready for the
market-and many family is wholly sup
ported by raising these birds. Some make
a snug income in addition.
From 100000 to 100000 canaries are bred
in Germany every year and our house
employs thirteen men who do nothing but
travel about buying them. Only singers
that is, the males-are sent to America.
On the other hand. only females are
marketable in England. The female ca
nary does not sing. What in the world
the Englishmen want of them is more
than | can imagine. Some canaries sing
better than others. So | stack my bird
cages up in big tiers In front of the VIM
dows and station a man to watch them
all day long When he hears a good sing
er he marks the cage. That bird becomes
more valuable from that time on.
Parrot Popularity.
Parrots stand second on the list in pop
ularty The gray African parrot is the
rarest and the best but he is so delicate
that the hardy Cuban parrot is really the
best for this market. We imported 10000
to $4,000 parrots year from Cuba until
the war broke out. When Havana was
blockaded last spring two of our men
were in the city with a shipment of 1000
parrots ready 10 come North with them
Finding they could not ship the birds,
they sold them to the Spanish govern
ment, which fed the parrots to the SOL

SHIP ABANDONED.
Eight Men and Two Women Were Taken
From the Deer Hill.

New York. Dec. Is.-The British
steamer Pawnee. which arrived to-day
from Mediterranean ports. brought ten
shipwrecked people-eight men and two
women-who were taken from the dis
abled schooner Deer Hill. of st. John.

head reported that on the morning of
December he hailed the Deer Hill in
evident distress and needing assist
ance. A heavy northwest gale was
blowing and a dangerous sea was rum
ming. The schooner was seemingly un-
manageable and the rudder disabled or
carried away. The Pawnee stayed by
and at y. m. succeeded in getting a
towline aboard. which had been sent
by drifting a small line to leeward. The
line parted. however. and a boat WAS
launched In charge of the chief officer
and sent to communicate with the Deer

sea struck and stove il, aud after great
difficulty the boat crew succeeded in
getting on board the schooner where
they were obliged to remain all night.
On the following morning. the 9th. the
weather slightly moderated. n towline
was sent on board, and the Pawnee
towed the Deer Hill toward Bermuda.
After towing about six hours the line
again parted. Finding that the wind
and sea were increasing when the line
parted, II was deemed impossible to
get out another. The captain OF the
Deer Hill signalled that he wished to
abandon the wreck and requested the
Pawnee to stand by. The gale contin-
ued throughout the 9Th. 10th ana llth,
the Pawnee keeping her position near
the wreck, but found IL impossible to
use the boats to remove the unfortun-
ate people from the Deer HILL owing to
the dangerous character of the seas.

was effected and the Deer Hill was
