The Riils.
D1ffiDO

This large and interesting family (Rot-
lidae, sub-family RdIlinaO of marsh-in-
habiting birds contains about $50 members,
of which IA inhabit North America. Eight
species visit the region of the Great Lakes
and the Atlantic seaboard, and four OF them
are deemed worthy of the sportsman's at
tention. These four species include the
Or. Iongirostris crepitdns), the Virginia rail
Or. 1ircinianus), and the sora (Porzdnd
carolind). The yellow rail and the little
black rail are too rare and too small to rank
as game birds.
The sora, or Carolina rail, differs broadly
in coloration from the sober brown OF Its
immediate relatives. 1t measures about
nine inches in length, and has rather strik-
ing markings when in the full Spring
plumage 1t is Summer resident, its
range including temperate" North Ameri-
ca, most common east of the great plains.
1t goes south in Winter to the West Indies
and northern South America. The nest is
made in cover upon the ground, the eggs
being drab with darker markings. 1t
breeds from the Middle States northward.
its flesh is rather dainty in flavor. Among
named bird, are rail, rail-bird, Carolina
crake, common rail, sora rail, English rail,
chicken-bill, and soree.
The most common method of shooting
this bird is at high tide from the bow OF a
boat which is po!ed through the flooded
cover by a man in the stern. This sport
has many eager followers, but the shooting
is almost too easy for experts to enthuse
over. A light 12-gage, or something
south the negroes have fun and make a
trifle of money by "fre-hunting" for this
rail with torches Of fat-pine and whips of
stiff brush.

The National Monument.

In his order for the 18th Annual Encamp-
ment of the Department of Washington and
Alaska, Commander Tibbetts. after recit
ing the Endorsement of the National En-
campment at Indianapolis of the plan of
the National Reunion Monument Associa-
tioa for soldiers and sailors monument at
Washington, d. c., says:
"Ihe Association was organized by virtue
of joint resolution of the Congress, ap-
proved April is, 1898, and authorizes the
Secretary OF War to select a suitable loca-
ton Oh some Government reservation in the
City of Washington, ID. c., on which to
erect monument to the memory of the
soldiers, sailors, and marines who fell i'm
the struggle for National existence from
1861 to 1865.
This work is now in the hands of COM
rades of National reputation, who will
never surrender TO any obstacle until the
final end has been reached, and n montl-
ment worthy the cause in which heroes fell,
and worthy the Nation they served, has
been fully completed.
Every section of the country is repre.
sented, and your present Assistant Adill
tant-General, Maj. S. w. Clark, having
| been appointed to represent the Department
| OF Washington and Alaska, respectfully
but urgently appeals to the comrades ant
| to the loyal and patriotic citizens of Tho
entire State of Washington to aid this
laudable enterprise.
Remembering that drops make the
mighty ocean, let no one hold back he
cause his offering is not so large as h,
would desire.

to act in this matter, and full details will b,

MEDICAL REFEREE.-In the case of
Julia A. E. Watkins il is held asst. Sec:
Davis, May Is, 1899, that "the opinions OF
the Medical Referee are not binding urol
the Secretary, bat are expert evidence,
and Will he treated as such hy the Depart
ment.' The decision says: 1.-The Secre-
tary is charged by law with the reviewlr 6
OF pension cases appeal. Such review
necesSitateS an examination of all the evil
dence and u conclusion based upon all OF
the evidence. No one part or class of evil
dence can lie taken to the exclusion of the
other evidence, unless there is a lawful
rea son for so doing. In purely medical
questions il has been said, in the case of
John j. Hill G. p. D., 143), regarding the
Medical Referee, that bis opinions
are entitled to great weight. He is the
medical adviser to the Commissioner on
questions relating to an accurate knowl-
edge of medical science. and his opinions
on such questions should generally be al
lowed 10 prevail, and are generally adopted
by the Department, but are not binding
upon it.
IF they were binding on the Depart
ment. no appeal would lie to the Secretary
in many cases, for such cases would a.
ready have been judged beyond appeal,
and thus the law would he circumvented.
When in any given case the opinion OF the
Medical Referee is sought and obtained,
such opinion becomes evidence; and 1t IS,
moreover, evidence of the very highest
character. But this is no reason why other
evidence should be excluded. 1t IS very

been numerous decisions Of late years
holding that to entitie to Mexican War

1887, the required period of service must
have had some direct connection with the
war. You have probably observed that the
pension laws seem TO change from time to

Annual Report of the Commissioners-Ths
Police SYstcm Criticised.

The report OF the Park Commissioners to
Mayor Van Wyck for the year 1898. under date
Of Jan, 2. was printed in the CHV Record yes
terday. The Commissioners say that they are
thoroughly in harmony and then they pitch
into the system Of police protection in parks in
this language
THE parks have all suffered. and do still
suffer, from lack Of proper and adequate po-
lice protection. Theichartcr put all the police
under the control OF the Police Department.
and section 313 which was intended to give
the Park Commissioners a share in park police
jurisdiction, was not very carefully drawn.
The members of the Park Board congratulate
themselves TINT they are relieved of the neces-
sity OF attending to the details Of police ap-
pnintment and discipline. but the spirit OF the
charter and the necessities Of the case appear
TO call Tor controlling voice on the part OF the
or from the various park precincts, &c. The
requirements of police duty in the parks differ
fr32m those Of such service elsewhere.
IT he assignments to park precincts should
be given to patrolmen and officers with eXpe-
rience in that direction and a taste for and in
greater familiarity with this phase of their re-
sponsibilities will result in a change Of attitude

lance OF police matters, The respective Park

he says. The report continues:
They found much to be done in the way OF

| damaged lawns and surfaces that had suffered
| from effort to combine the features of u

absolutely forbid the opening OF the Central
Park grounds to general public use. The eX-
| pertinent made in this direction by the preced-
Ing Board Of Park Com missioners resulted in a
| legacy to this administration OF lawns dsiig
