The wife of a Center county
farmer dropped an earring while
feeding her chickens recently,
and the jewel was quickly COB
bled up by one of the fowls. I'm
able to pick out the particular
chicken, she killed them all, one
by one-27 in number-but failed
to recover the earring. Then she
began to look around and found
it in the grass where the old hen
had dropped it.

SPARROWS VICTORIOUS.
Boston Gives Up After Finding That
They Live in Flats.

fEoHl Tue DosluH IEdHscrlpl
A complete victory has been gained by
the friends of the sparrows in Boston.
Mayor Quincy yesterday issued an order to
Foreman William ]. Kennedy of the public
grounds department, who has had charge
of the work of destroying the nests of the
birds for several weeks past, instructing
him to stop the work at once. The mayor
announced his decision late yesterday
afternoon, when he had the following self
explanatory statement sent to the news
papers:
'In view of the urgent need, as repre-
sented by Superintendent Doogue of the
public grounds department. of assigning
Foreman Kennedy and his assistants, who
have lately been engaged in destroying
sparrow nests upon the Common. back to
the regular work of the department, Mayor
Quincy has directed that this work of de-
stroying nests be now discontinued for the
season. He did not anticipate originally
that 1t would prove such an undertaking,
or that it would withdraw so much labor
from the regular work of the department,
and he does not now feel that such work
of the department should be longer slight
ed. Mr.. Kennedy has been directed to re-
port to the mayor upon the results of the
work accomplished and to observe as far
possible whether the sparrows proceed
to rebuild their nests as soon as the men
are Withdrawn"
The work of destroying the nests was be-
gun Oh MATCH Id, anu dI tue outset was
confined to Boston Common, where Fore
man Kennedy and force of five laborers
cleared the nests out of the trees, in the
caves of the low buildings and from the
hoods of the electric lights. Then the men
visited the public garden, and after their
work was finished there they began opera
tons in Blackstone and Franklin squares.
al the south end. Up to the time that the
work was ordered to be stopped, it is esti-
mated that fully 1900 nests and 1900 eggs
had been destroyed.
In speaking of the work yesterday after
neon Mr.. Kennedy said: In going through
the trees we found many curious things.
In some of the old elms in the Common and
parks the nests Were arranged Ike apart
ment houses. They We're in tiers each
separate from the other. Some of the old
eims are almost hollow, and every space
where a nest could be hung was taken.
When we had cleared out a hole and freed
it from all that would affect the tree, We
plugged up the entrance to keep the birds
from building there again. The birds would
come with straws in their beaks, and, find
ing the place plugged UP, would sit on the
branches and look in wonder at the spot
where their nests had been. l have seen
them sit with heads cooked and peer at the
place for quarter Of an hour at a time"

DEADLOCK AT HAGERSTOWN.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HAGERSTOWN, Md, April T. 1893.
A serious deadlock Is now on in the mu-
nicipal government of HagerstoWn. For
several years previous to the present ad-
ministration the democrats have had
majority on the city council in opposition
to republican mayor. At the recent cleo
ton the tables were turned and democratic
Mayor Shinde finds himself confronted
with republican board!
When the democrats we're in power they
forced a partial division of the places in
favor of men of their own party. AT the
first meeting of the new council Mayor
Shinders nominees We're all rejected with
the exception of the ,scaKengers and one or
two other positions of minor importance

and there is no telling Where it will end

piece is capable of firing double and even
treble that number of shots in minute.
Consequently, the average rapidity of
rapid-fire field artillery is ten or twelve
shots minute, supposing that the point
ing of the piece can be done with the de-
sired accuracy. If only an approximate
aim is taken, a rapidity of from eighteen
to twenty shots minute can be easily
reached. But it is a good thing to avoid
this extreme rapidfty; for, as Scharnhorst
said at the beginning of the century, lone
single shot we'll aimed is worth several
