BUSINESS MEMS EXHIBIT.

The committee of the Hudson City
Business Mems Association, APPOINTED to
arrange for the annual industrial exhibit
at Pohlmanns during the first week of
March, met last night, but transacted only
routine business. William Kastenhuber
a member of the committee, reports that
lots of applications for space for exhibits
have been made by merchants all over
the northern section of the Heights. Mer-
chants from other parts of the city will
co-oprate in making the exhibit success,
such as crowned the efforts of the asso-
ciation's exhibit. 1t is presumed that the
Merchants Protective Association of
Hudson county will do all in its power to
boom the efforts of the Business Mems
Association, as many of the latter are
also prominent members Of the county
organization. The exhibit last year was
a great success.

A rat was caught alive on board a British naval vessel in 6 trap, and the beast was thrown from the trap into thewater without being killed. A large gull that was following in the wake cf the ship to pick up scraps of food thrown overheard by the steward swooped several times, endeavoring to pick the rat up. Once the bird got too close to the rats jaws, and the beast grabbed it by the neck. After short fight the rat succeeded in killing the bird. When the gull was dead, the rat scrambled upon the birds body, and. hoisting one wing as a sail and using the other as a rudder, succeeded in steering for the shore.

New Rule of Practice.

A Washington telegram says: Acting secretary of the interior has approved a change in the rules of practice of the general land office that will be of general interest throughout the public land states. It provides that when a special agent, after investigating an alleged fraudulent entry location or claim, recommends the cancellation of such entry the claimant shall be given notice of the charges made by the agent and will be allowed thirty days in which to ask for a hearing before the local officers. At the hearing, if it is asked for, the burden of proof of fraud is to be on the government. Should the entrymAn fail to request 8 hearing, the case is to follow the same routine thEa1zh the local and general land office as all ex parte cases and the entrYman is allowed the right of appeal if the decision of the local officers is against him. It has been the practice here tofore to cancel entries on the re- commendation of a special sgent without notice to the entryman."
 The telegrapher is in error in bis last sentence as the entryman always has had the privilege of being heard before his entry was cancelled.
