that Kelly attempted TO strike the old man. but
stopped when she interceded Kelly started away.
and he left the gate open the old man stepped
out TO close 1t. AS reached the gate the young
man stepped back and opened 1t again
kennedys son, hearing the noise, went 10 MIS-

Admiral Watson's Leniency in the
 Case of Cadet Van Orden.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Acting Secre- tary Allen has disapproved ehe action of Rear Admiral Watson in the court martial case of Naval Cadet George Van Orden, attached to the Helena, who was tried and sentenced at Cavite, August 9 last, to dismissal from the service for leaving his sta ton without being regularly relieved.
 Six of the seven members of the court in consideration of the youth and inexperience of the accused, recom- mended him for clemency whereupon Rear Admiral Watson mitigated the sentence to the loss of fifteen numbers in his grade, young Van Orden having in the meantime been transferred to the marine corps, as q first lieutenant.
 Acting Secretary Allen set aside the sentence, calling Admiral Watson's to the fact that the statutory law forbfds a communication of sentence of that kind.

CAMPAIGN IN OHIO
(Ccl tinued From First Page.)

public in the last week it seems to be
 overwhelmingly probable that it was
 after q conference with MT. Kurtz that
 John F. Mclean decided to become a
 candidate for governor. Assurances
 that Kurtz was able to make,
 made it seem worth while to
 MT Mclean to be candidate
 for governor. Neither Governor
 Bushnell nor Mr. Kurtz take
 pains to conceal his hostility to Judge
 Nash. Both have spoken highly of the qualifications of Mir. Mclean and de- clare him to be an unusually strong candidate, and predicted a close con test. At the republican state commit tee rooms this week it was admitted that the old anti-Hanna leaders could be depended upon to use all their power in trying to throw the support of their faction from Nash to Mclean, but they claim they will be unable to do it. The committee claims that the publicity which has been given the treacherous plans will prevent their success It was only the secrecy that was thrown around the movements of this same faction in 1897. they say. that enabled them to come so near succeed ing in preventing the election of Mr Hanna to the senate. The discovery of the plans will alone be sufficient to n 1Iy-1 fTaY77

Something Like Mutiny Reported on

Birmingham. Oct. 12-The Post prints a rumor to the effect that some thing like a mutiny has occurred on the Fran among the members of the arctic expedition under Sverdrup. The naval lieutenant in charge of the ship, it is reported, refused to submit to Sverdrup's authority. Disorder pre- vailed on board, and it was expected that the men would desert at the first opportunity.
 The news has created a sensation among explorers and geographers, many of whom regard it is unwise to combine the naval and civil clements in these expeditions.

In spite of all that has been written
about our people, even the New Eng

on the subject, lack close knowledge
about it, Mr. Edward Atkinson's sing
ular ignorance is evidence Of it. When
ever on any subject, conflicting state

The upper classes IN Boston were

accepted as true, statements that en-
forced their own belief that it was not
desirable. No doubt there were strong
reasons for taking this attitude. Like
the New Englanders themselves, pre-
yious to the war of 1912, we were
largely governed by selfish motives
and the wealthy interests here took
narrow views. Communities are not
philosophers, and the greatest good

MYNAH BIRD CIVILIZATION.

Miss Emma Thursby's bird Mynah IS
dead, and every one who knows Miss
Thursby Will cOndole with her on the
loss of that marvellous creature. who
seemed TO be more human than was
quite canny. Mynah was valued al
! $4,000, but no money could pay for his
Intelligence and accomplishments and
he might as we'll have been valued a.
| ten times that amount. \ bird that
can sing and talk in five languages. and
| play the piano with one foot and show
such discrimination in his affections.
with gaStrOnOmic tastes that would do
| credit TO a man of the world. IS a
creature of heart and intellect. and II
that doesn't mean having a soul"
| what does? The fame Of Mynah has
| travelled over both hemispheres. and
profound regret is felt in Cambridge
and Boston at his passing away Who
knows but into the body OF some
human being higher in the scale this
soul may still be marching on?
The above extract from the Boston
Herald is published for the benefit Of
the mynah birds, who now occupy a
prominent position in the animal So
ciety of these Islands. Neither pulpit
nor press, nor teacher discourse on the
duties we owe to the birds" or the
duties that the birds owe 70 us The
consequence is that our mynah bird
population is in the depths of heathen-
ism, and ignorance and exhibits only
the crudest knowledge of right and
wrong. But. it is said, that in matri-
monial fidelity it displays virtues that
our boosted civilization" lacks. There
should be one day in the year devoted
to the alteration of these birds with
Isincere acknowledgements of their ex-
emplary family life.
| Whether the education of the Ny
nah birds should be provided for by
our Board of Education is a serious
Question. Miss ThUrsby's bird proves
that extraordinary results may be
reached by education. and if il raises
the birds to higher life provision
should be made for this education. II
is to be expected that President Dole
and his Cabinet will oppose any
measure for education, because it might
tend finally TO the enlargement of the
elective franchise. Besides. if one
mynah bird '.can sing and talk in five
languages, and play the piano with one
foot" other and all mynah birds may
do so. and a very uncomfortable Ques-
ton might arise as 10 which, in the
mind of the Wise Man. was the most
valuable creature-a man who knew
how to make money out of the sugar
business and stopped at that. or a
mynah bird who did not know how to
make money in the sugar business, but
could" sing and talk in five languages
for the benefit of mankind, and was
therefore of some use in the world.
1t must be admitted that there are
no hap.hazard events in this world. so
that the presence and increase of the
mynahs on these Islands is in accord
ance with the universal plan of crea-
ton. Just as the good native boy, Oboo-
kiah. wandering about in New Hav-
en- nearly eighty years ago, started the
missionary enterprise TO these Islands.
so may Miss Thursby's mynah bird
stimulate some missionary enterprise
among the now benighted mynah birds
that are in the depths of animal heath
enism on these Islands.
