THE CRANES MEAL.
he Easily Catches and Kills the Spar
row, But Finds 1t Hard to
Swallow Him.

Court square has new denizen, and
now the peacocks and the squirrels
stop every now and then to look in
wonder at the spindle-legged crane
which stalks in solemn dignity to and
fro, says the Memphis Scimitar. This
crane, however, is not attracting
merely the attention of the other
dwellers of the park, for every day OF
two a large human audience watches
his performance. The crane catches
sparrows and it is the efforts he makes
to swallow his prey which cause spec
tators to gather by the score. The
crane stands quietly like statue and
waits The sparrows fly about fear
lessly, not even startled by the strange
bird. They have seen rags on stick
before and they are not afraid; oh, no!
Then one of the sparrows lights very
near the crane. The rag becomes live
ly and his beak is shot out with light
ming quickness and the sparrow caught
right by the neck.
Then comes the fun. The sparrow is
a little large to swallow. The crane
kills him, thinking the small birds
lively capers must be the cause of the
difficulty. Death makes the task no
easier. The sparrow still chokes the
crane. The crane tries the sparrow
head on. The small birds wings stick
out and prevent the sparrow from go
ing down. The crane starts at the
feet; but the feathers on the prospec-
tive dinner are ruffied the wrong way
and the second attempt fails. Ansidea
strikes his craneship. He walks to a
small tub of water and soaks the spar
row so that the feathers cling closely.
1t is still an impossible task to swallow
the bird. The crane works and works,
and finally, by pounding the sparrow
almost to pulp, at last makes a meal.
Then the audience disperses wonder
ing at the cranes marvellous digestion.

Washington officials are very much

Must Get consent of the Pope.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Archbishop
Corrigan has transmitted to the clergy
of the diocese decree from the
vatican bearing on the celebration of
the jubilee of the holy year. One
effect of the decree will be to make
difficult the marriage of Catholic to a
Protestant by priest in 1900. Mixed
marriages, as shey are commonly
termed, are customarily allowed only
by dispensations of the bishops, but
for the holy year this power is sus-
pended.
In his circular. Archbishop Corrigan
says that the pope suspends special fac.
ulties to ordinances of dioceses, $50
that at this season particularly, Rome
should be the great fountain head of
of merry and spiritual favors for the
Catholics of the entire world" This
is understood in Catholic circles to
mean that only by applying direct to
Rome shall dispensations be granted
during the year 1900.

prune Growers Want Protection.

SALEM, Dec. 25.-The prune growers
and others interested in the prune in
dustry in this vicinity say that some
action should be taken in opposition to
the proposed reduction OF the tariff on
imported prunes. The proposition, as
it is understood here, is to reduce the
tariff as favor to France. in return
for concession on her part in favor
of American oil. The growers think
the prune industry needs whatever as
sistance reasonable tariff can give it.
while the oil industry has demonstrated
its ability to take care OF itself.
Those who have expressed them
selves in favor of action by the growers
think that the state ooard of horti-
culture should prepare blank petitions
to be circulated for signatures, asking
our delegates in congress to exert their
influence against the proposed reduc-
tion.

that nothing will occur today. A truce,

"The Beers CONTINUE extending their

the British camp, which is also in an
admirable position for defense, as the
surrounding country is perfectly level.
The Beers, moreover, are compelled to

ed have recovered and are ready to
resume their places in the ranks.

"We are now waiting until England

METHUEN in A
CRITICAL PLACE
His Supplies Liable to be
Cut Off.

New YORK, Dec. ga dispatch to
.thea Herald from London says: There
IL much deep anxiety here as to the
p1tqstion IN South Africa and the pains
ful nervous strain erows more acute as
the ominous silence continues In re-
gard TO Generals Buller and Methuer.
'8eloW sll the enthusiasm evoked by
the magni6cent response to the call
Tor volunteers. is q strong undercur-
rant Of appreh snsion. especia' 'ly as to
the eonditio1 oi the Kimberley relief
column. It is none the less percept.
ible from the efforts made to smother
It By suggestions in which the hope is
father to the thought, that the war
Office has news from General Methuen,
which it is concealing, for strategic
reason 8, until his supposed withdrawal
to the Orange river has been sue
eessfully completed.
A we'll authenticated report has
haen received that news from General
White had come through to the effect
that he was fully provided with am-
unition and food and able to hold out
for some weeks more This would
greatly effect the situation and render
all haste on General Buffers part un-
necessary.
Should General Methuen he cut of
by . Boer force seiziug his old positions
at Grss Pan and Belmont, the British
might have another Ladysmith on
their hands, aud even the most san
guine enthusiasts admit that with one
Ladysmith. the situation is critical
enough. II General 4ethuep falls
back, be will be able to wait with per-
teot security. for the arrival Of the
Sixth division, when the forward
movement can be resumed. The
silence maintained at the war Office as
to General Methuen's movement might
be with the idea of keeping such q
back yard step secret until completed.

Nored EyangelIst Dead.

EAST NORTHFIELD, Mass, Dec. q.
Dwight L. Moody, the famous evan.
gelist, died at noon today. II was not
expected until yesterday by the mem.
bers of Moody's family and his immedi.
ate circle OF friends that death would
be the result Of his illness. The cause
OF death was general breaking down
due to overwork. Moody's heart had
been weak for long time, and the
exertions put forth In connection with
the meetings In the West last month
brought on collapse from which he
failed to rally.
