ASSAULT AND BATTERY.

Mrs. Hudy, of Minooka. was ar
raigned before Alderman Ruddy last
night on the charge of assault and bat
terry, preferred by her neighbor, Mrs.
Ruane. The latter purchased a cow
from the defendant several days ago,
and part of the bargain. Mrs. Ruane
says, was that she was to have a patch
of corn when the same was grown.
Thursday she went to the Hudy plot
and commenced to help herself to the
corn when Mrs. Hudy raised an objec-
ton. The women began to quarrel and
the result was a hair pulling match.
Mrs. Hudy was held in 5000 ball. which
was furnished. Mrs. Ruane will be the
defendant today on a similar charge
to be heard before Squire ONeill, of
Minooka,

Col Moran of I'd Regiment Appeare I
Before II Last Night.
Adjutant Canning and Lieut.. Brady Also
Among the Witnesses.

Col. James Moran, commanding officer
OF the second regiment Rhode Island Mi
litia, testified tefore the military court
OF inquiry last evening. and. as far as can
be learned OF the hearing behind closed
doors, he went into many interesting de,
tails as to what had caused what little
trouble had arisen in the regiment, de-
claring also that the present difficulty was
not OF nature TO call for any such I'm.
portant action upon the part of the state
authorities. Col. Moran denied that there
was any friction betwesn the field and
stan officers and the line officers, and bs
fore the hearing was adjourned, il is said,
that the colonel suggested numb ber OF
witnesses TO the court, aud these may be
heard az the next session.
Capt. Frank Canning, adjutant Of the
regiment stated that ne knew of no So
rions friction In the regiment. He told
the court what he knew OF the troubls OF
Company A OF Olncyville. two years ago.
and OF the trouble In Company III. OF this
city, few weeks ago.
Lieut.. Thomas Grady, commissary oI
the regiment. believed that the relations
between the field and staff officers and the
line officers were quite cordial, and ne
knew OF no trouble worth mentioning.
There we're only these three witnesset
examined, and II was quite late when the
court ADJOURNED to meet, probably, on
Monday evening next.

ESTABLISHMENT OF BIRD DAYS.

"Ornamentation at the Expense OF Bird
Life" was the subject of an address at
the Westminster Church yesterday after
oon at = o'clock by Mrs. Francis Is.
Hornbrooks of Newton, Mass A large
audience listened attentively to the very
interesting address on this subject OF bird
destruction. She said In substance:
cit is true that. in the interest OF sci
ence, life must be sacrificed to consid-
erable degree. But that should be no ex-
cuse for taking the lives OF any living
thing. much less innocent birds in wan
ton amusement or TO appsase some paltry
taste. Nevertheless, II is icing done right
Along. Madame Roland once snir, ana
a great many people are beginning to
concur in her statement, What crimes
are committed in the name OF science.
"1aere ara movements, however, being
started in different places for the suppress
sion of tho sacrifice OF bird life. In Oli
City, Pa, Fort Adams, H., and num-
ber of other cities bird days are being set
apart in public schools, when the time
will be devoted 10 the study and consider
alton of birds. One or two hundred wears
from now when ornitholoRists read OF the
destruction of birds in the 18th century
for the purpose Of ornamentation or some.
thing similar they will be both surprised
and shocked.
"All birds with perhaps the exception
of the English sparrow, which are b5ing
slaughtered In the interests Of millinery,
are useful To a greater or less extent.
Eyen owls which are being killed 10 cater
tothe demands of this years fashion, are
said to be useful to farmers in the de-
struction of insects. There are some peo-
pie who think that the use of ostrich
feathers is TO be deplorsd in like manner
with that OF our native birds. IL is not
So however. for ostrich plumes are taken

them or destro Dying their usefulness. "If

Quite sensation was crea ted in the

Senator Roach was delivering an anti

appealed so strongly to DR.. Mary that
she stood up in the ladies' gallery,
waved her handkerchief, and applaud

Dakotan. Her action was a gross vio-

q detective elected DR.. Walker from
the gallery, escorted her out of. the
building, and threatened her with ar
rest if she was again seen in the sem
ate wing of the capitol
DR.. Walker did not take kindly to the
treatment to which she had been SUBJ
jected,. and denounced the detective
in severe terms calling him villain
and scoundrel,- and. Threatening to
have him discharged. .I:.s
Immediately after, the female doctor
who affects mems attire had been
elected, from the senate wing of the

DOUBTS JONAH STORY.
A Theological Student Is Refused
Ordination by the New York
..[t Presbytery, za

Jonah is in more trouble. Incidental
sly he has involved the New York Pres
bytery, Union Theological seminary,
and William B. Bebb, says the New
York correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune. The question at issue lis
whether or not Jonah was swallowed by
the whale. Mr.. Bebb thinks he wasn't.
Therefore the presbytery refuses. to
license Mr.. Bebb as minister, and has
appointed a committee to lead the
erring Mr.. Bebb to see that the prophet
did actually have the alleged submarine
experience. as ..,.-y@s:..rZ
Mr.. Bebb studied at Union, was grad
uated, and went before the presbytery
for examination as to fitness for the
ministry. He declared he had doubts
about the inspiration of the Bible from
an historical standpoint, while he had
confidence con in its Inspiration on religious
matters. The presbytery asked for
specific instances in which the Bible
might be wrong. Bebb assailed Jonah.
He evinced due want of reverence for
the whale, and thought it doubtful
whether the fish had done what the
Scriptures alleged he did. IT,
The presbytery rejected him by Is to
