SLAUGHTER OF TT
GIRAFFE.
THE
The Noble Animal Soon Likely to he
Extinct In south Africa.
(From the sc!entino American.)

(From the Sc!entiiic American.)
The Beers are credited with being great
hunters, and chief of them In hisyounger
days was Presi lent Kruger, whose darir 9

When the Beers migrated from Cape
Colony to the Trsnsvaal they were forced
to clear the way by killing 500 liors
many of which were killed BY Kruger,
For years the South African Posrs have
been hunters and their skin with the
rifle Is due to this daily practice In the
fields and woods. But with them .he
killing Of game has been either matter
of dollars and cents or self-protection.
Their creditable work of freeing Sorth
Africa OF the dreaded lions. which
rcamed In such numbers that life was
rendered unsafe any here 10 the country.
Is Offset by their ruthless destruction of
the giraffe from Cape Colony to the
Boltstli river. If they killed COCO liens
n the Transvaal te'ore existence was
made safe. they may have killed 5000 Of
the innocnt, graceful CRATES. In the
early days of South African history the
giraffe was the most abundant game In
the Transvaal, Matatelle and Orange
Free State. but the creature has been
killed of like our American buffalo. and
the few remaining representatives Of q
noble ra,e gradually driven north. Fer
years past tho giraffe has been profit
able quarry for the Boer hunters, and the
animal was valued by them only because
the hides were articles OF commercial use.
They were pot-hunted, shot down in
droves. and destroyed In the greatest
number possible In every direction. The
extinction of the animal In South Africs
Is now threatened. and Its preservation
by legislation comes when II Is almost
TOO lats. In this respect. too, the brief
history OF the creature will resemble the
story OF our buffalo
A good giraffe skin is worth from $40 to
$50 In South Africa today, and much
more In kurops. On their hunting trips
matter for one hunter to kill 40 ard 90 OF
thess graceful animals In one day. The
reason for this is that the giraffe, Is the
most innocent OF animals, ana EASILY
hunted. They are aosolu tely defencelss,
and there IL hardly case on record where
. wounded giraffe turned upon the hunt
er. II IL true they have great powers OF
speed. and they can dodge rapidly from
tree TO tree In the woods, but they offer
such fair mark that these tsctics hardly
ever save them. Not until unusually
fri ghtsned does the giraffe make Its best
speed, and then Ii Is often too late. for
the hunter Is upon 1t. There is really no
element Of danger connected with this
sport, and thas makes 1t less exciting
and attractive to true sportsman. Under
certain circumstances 1t is posstble to be
injured with the powerful legs OF the
giraffe. which are capable OF kicking
blow that would kill a lion. This latter
beast for this reason takes good care to
attack the giraffe at unexg ectsd momsnts

WOMAN MURDERED.
Another of Chose Terrible Connecticut
Grimes.

Stamford, Conn, November ga
brutal murder occurred In Long Ridge,
about nine miles from here last night the
victim bsing Mrs. Sarah King. a sixty
year old lady, while Charles b. Cross. a
seventeen ear old hoy, Is under restraint
and will probably be formally arrested on
suspicion of having caused her death.
Mrs. Ring lived on farm in lonely
section of the country aud the boy was
hired to do chores about the place.
According to the story told by the
young man, he left Mrs. King sitting
reading in the kitchen about s 80 o'clock
last night while he went outside to attend
to some work. When he returned ten
minutes later he found the house in dark
ness and heard groans In the upper part
of the hous-. Going upstairs he found
Mrs. King lying on the bed IN her room,
bleeding from wounds In tho head. and
unconscious and there was evidence Of q
struggle. and the woman's clothing had
been torn from her body.
The boy ran to the nearest neighbor.
Stephen Merritt, and toli him what had
happened. He went to the King place
with the boy and a short time after they
reached there the woman died without
regaiuing consciousness. The head Of the
dead woman was badly bruised, and
there was deep wound in the scalp
which was apparently inflicted with .
blunt instrument. There were also a
numbsr Of bruises and scratches on her
body, while the clothes which she had
worn were found about the room, torn In
pieces.
The motive for the crime could not
have beeL robbery as a sam OF money
which the woman mad on her person was
found In pocket of her torn clothes. The
bureau drawers had bsen pulled open. but
their contents had apparently not been
disturbed.

whole affair immsdi La ely after the crime
was committed, II no had not feared that

Ing out Of the lectures which for seven
years DR.. Dalton had SO generously given
to the Portland public. She modestly
omitted the part which she herself had
taken in this Initiation. and dwelt especi-
ally on the work OF the ether officers who
had borne the burden of the sterling Of
the Union. As some of the results Of its
influence Mrs. Frye spoke Of the pictures
and statuary in the schools, and of the
dlslnterested efforts OF the memb ers, In
all matters relative to the advancement
In education.
At the close OF her remarks, Mrs. Frye
gracefully introduced Mrs. Frederick
Jones. the historian of the day, who
most delightfully."- filled her office in this
regard. Mrs. Jones brought much en-
thusiasm to her task. and as she has been
interested in the work Of the Union from
the beginning she told the story of its de.
velopment in thoroughly interesting
manner. The details OF the history were
given clearly and concisely and the story
Of the "afternoons. and the individual
ty Of each succeeding president was well
brought out. Each one had to deal with
new ret OF circumstances, and each one
has ably filled her place. bringing en-
thusiasm and earnestness to her work.

full Of meaning and suggestion for the

ABOUT TRUSTS.
Governor Rogers Writes More Fully
on the Matter.
Thinks Great Majority Of Trusts Will BE
Able to Show They are a
Benefit

OLYMPIA, Wash, Special.-Governo
Rogers has refused to reply to the lette
of Insurance Commissioner Heifner Iii
rect, in which the latter attacked him up
on his attitude toward trusts. but today
sent letter to the governor of Texas
lie said.
"The trust evil is to be made politi
cal qwestion; OF this there can be no
doubt. Under these circumstances | dC
not believe it wise tor those who are op.
posed to the Republican party to assist
that party in its evident attempt tC
temporarily evade the issue by proposing
state legislation as a remedy, knowing
that this must prove, in the end in.
effective.
From present appearances it seems
probable that the Republican party will
declare strongly against trusts, Offering
as remedy restrictive legislation by the
several states, hopiug in this way to ap-
pease public clamor for the time merely,
If this should prove to be the policy OF
the party it will clearly be insincere, in
tended simply to mislead
"Itis generally understood that United
States Attorney General Griggs has de.
clared national regulation or control of
trusts to be impossible. Since the failure
OF the Sherman act this statement has
been commonly accepted as true. Now it
is said that what the general government
cannot accomplish the States are able to
manage. do not believe this latter State
ment to be true; indeed am inclined to
consider it mere evasion
Combinations that are detrimental to
the general public can, Of course, be pro-
hibted. A great majority of the trusts
will however, unquestionably be able to
show to the satisfaction Of United States
supreme court, at least, that by the use
of large capital and imroyed method, they
have reduced the cost of their production
and are thus benefitand nota detriment
to the general public. And futher that
the only persons who are injured are
their comparatively few competitors.
That the greatest good to the greatest
number has been secured

is not a new one is only Il new phase OF

unequal struggle the power OF money.
have elsewhere characterized il rs the
fight of the Almighty Dollar against Al
mighty God. In this struggle one most
noticeable fact is pressed upon our atten-
tion; Large numbers OF people who have
ranged themselves-in thought upon
the side OF God, in the churches, are
found bitterly fighting with might and
main under the banner OF the dollar.
The money question is really the mat
ter at issue in most cases. In others rail
road debates, or special privilegesgranted
are the source Of the evils complained of.
In yet others the protective tariff is To
blame. These are the three mothers
Of all 'thrusts' and all three are control

these reasons the presen demand for state
legislation as remedy for the trust evil
