AMENDING THE LAW,
Police Court Writs to BE Executed b,

Police Court Wrfts to BE Executed by
United States Marshal.
The giving of bonds in the Police Court
In certain cases has long been a farce, it is
claimed, so far as their enforcement is con-
cerned. and to remedy the defect the Dis
trict Commissioners have transmitted to
Congress the draft of bill Ito require
certain writs to be directed to and exc
cuted by the marshal of the District Of
Columbia"
The judges of the Police Court earnestly
recommend the enactment of the bill,
which provides that hereafter all writs of
heri facias or other writs of execution on
judgments issued by the Police Court shall
be directed to and executed by the marshal
of the District of Columbia
Speaking of the necessity of the proposed
law, Judge Kimball says:
There Is quite a large class of cases
arising under the laws, as, for instance
Migrants, suspicious characters and many
others where, upon conviction, the only
the defendant to give bond for good be-
havior, and, in default, sending him to the
work house for time not to exceed six
months The giving of these bonds has be-
come farce, for there is no way to en-
force them except by the long and ex-
pensive process of bill in equity AS a
result, it is very easy for any one to get a
bondsnan and Immediately upon his re-
lease the Old life is resumed, and arrest of
such defendants does not mean the sun
preston of .--e wrongful life, but the pay
ment of 50 or SO TO some one to go on the
bond To remedy this defect am anxious
that law shaIi be enacted requiring the
marshal TO execute all processes and writs
OF every kind which may be directed to him

In the Northwest the supply of live
stock was depleted to feed the Union
armies, and for two or three years af-

scarce and dear in price, so that the
masses of laboring men and factory
operatives could scarce afford beef up

CanaIn of the World.

The Suez Canal is about 100 miles in
length, and cost 81 100000 per mile for
its construction. The Corinth Canal
is miles in length, and cost, COM
pleted, with it's approaches, $1,000,O0O
per mile. The proposed Nicaragua
canal will cost per mile, with its ter
minals and approaches, certainly not
less, and probably more than the sum
named The canals of Suez and Cor
inth are real maritime canals, built
without locks, upon the sea-level. The
one, that of Corinth, is situated in the
temperate zone, where the rainfall is
81 or 40 inches per annum. The other,
that of SueZ, is located in region
without rain. Neither of these is
threatened in its course by streams
liable to sudden and perilous floods,
so common in the tropical religion of
Central America. These two great
works afford no real parallel to the
Nicaragua project, either as to cost
or feasibility. The one work parallel
20 this undertaking is very near, very
like it, both in place and circumstance;
it is that of the Panama Canal across
the Isthmus Of Darien.

Usefulness Of the owl.

Can there be any possible harm In
killing owls for women's hats?" ex-
claimed a New York milliner to a
member of the Audubon Society the
other day, "Of what use are the hor-
rid creatures to anybody"
The pretty milliner was quite sur
prised when told that owls were very
useful birds Owls eat the field mice,
and other small rodents that work
great injury to the farmer, and every
one that is lost not only means me-
mace to the farmers, but distinct loss
to agriculture.
DR.. c. Hart Merriam, ornithologist of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture. has estimated that in Offering
a bounty on owls and hawks, which re-
suited in the killing of more than 100,-
900, the State Of Pennsylvania sustain
ed q loss of nearly $5000,0 600 in one
year and half.

One Man Buiid. a Church,

Religious enthusiasm in the case OF
Andrew Bonner. Georgia colored
man, is manifesting itself in unique
but substantial way His ambition for
years has been to build church for
the benefit of some OF his own race,
the material used to be procured with
his own earnings and no workman to
assist him in the rearing of the edi-
fee.
Andrew Bonner is a simple minded
negro, filled to overfowing with what
his admiring wife terms "de oil time re-
ligion. He resides with her in Col
lege Park, village only few miles
from Atlanta.
With utter disregard of legal meas
ures, Andrew selected, two years ago,
site for the church of his dreams,
which he expects to be monument to
his memory long after he has returned
to dust. The fact that he does not
own the ground has never disturbed
him. When far sighted white friends
urged him to wait until ground could
be bought for the purpose he paid
no heed to the proposition but kept on
In his original purposes.
Every spare penny was spent by him
for lumber and nails. The work has
necessarily been slow, but now, after
twentyfour months of patient labor,
Andrew gazes with pride upon the
building. which is almost covered
1t is rumOred that the old darky has
sometimes denied his family bread
that he might save money for this pet
project.
