ENGLISH STARLINGS ASTRIY.
Strange Feathered Visitors Found in n
Dovecote in Wakefield.

Fifteen strange birds were found the other
day In the dovecote that caps the tower OF a
stable up at Wakefield. in the borough OF the
Bronx. They were rather lonG-billed black
birds. dotted with brownish spots. and showing
In the sunlight all the colors OF the rainbow.
Nobody on the premises knew what they were.
but the coachman who found them recalled
that a pair of such birds had nested in a neigh
boring oak tree in the previous summer.
Several OF the strangers were put into a cage.
but they died. One of the dead birds was sent
TO an ornithologist and at once recognized by
him as an English starting. Furthermore. he
had a plausible theory to account for the pres
ence Of the birds in the suburbs, for he recalled
that some one imported a lumber of English
s~tarlings from Europe a few years ago and
loosed them in Central Park. The suppOsition
is that descendants of the imported birds went
up into the suburbs in search Of the real coun-
try. As To their fraterni2ing with the pigeons.
IL seems likely that the starlings thought winter
quarters In o comfortable doyecote cheaper
than a long flight south ward. Just how long
the starlinRs have inhabited the doyecote no.

been ALTERNATING in tho true sense Of that
term. for they were pretty fat and also fairly
active. for the goodman caught only three ont
of fifteen. and the others. as he said. few
away on him.
The s~tarlings will be encouraged to continue
at free quarters in the dovecote with the hope
that they may nest on the premises next sum
mer. Meanwhile. a sharp lookout will be kept
for other such VISITORS.

Since the completion OF the railroad between
the lower Congo and Stanley Pool last summer
the development OF the Congo State has gone
on with great rapidity. Now that all the freight
brought from up the river to the Pool may be
carried to tidewater by railroad instead OF on
the backs OF men important additions are being
made to the lotilla OF the upper Congo. Two
weeks ago a tugboat and two barges were
shipped from Antwerp in sections, and will
be put together at the Pool. The tuEboat is
30 feet long and draws 81 feet. The
barges were made Of steel. are 175 feet long. &c
feet wide and gauge 500 tons each. They are
to bring the ivory. rubber. coffee. cacao. copal
and other products from the factories and
plantations OF the upper river to the railroad.
The tug will haul both OF the barges on each
trip. and 1t Is expected they will make six
round trips a year from the Pool to Stanley
Falls or to Lusambo. on the Lomami River.
They will carry annually about 5000 tons OF
products over a thousand miles down the river.
1t is imposed that the steamer Hainaut, $50
tons. the largest vessel on the upper Congo.
left Stanley Pool on Jan. Is for its first voyage
up tho river. The postal boat Kempenaar is
now building In Europe. and as soon as it Is
launched at Stanley Pool 1t will engage In the
passenger and mail service along the 1000
miles OF the main river to Stanley Falls. 1t is
expected to be the fastest boat on the river.
Three small freight boats are also about TO
be sent TO the Congo for service on some
OF the little and shalloSe a~fiuents of the
river. The construction of a cargo boat OF
800 tons is also under way. 1t will be about
175 feet long and its special service will be the
transportation OF railroad building material
and other heavy freight sent up the river by
the Government. 1t ia expected next year that
about IL. 700 tons Of the products OF the upper
Congo will be brought down the river and
shipped to Antwerp. Havre. Liverpool and
Hamburg. Last year it would have cost $3.50
to carry each ton OF this freight on the backs Of
men $50 miles around the Congo cataracts.

said that the remarkable cheerfulness Of the
terribly wounded officers was medicine to
him and chased away his delirium. Capt Du-
cat Of the Twenty-fourth was brought on
board. paralyzed by a shot which had passed
through both thighs while charging at the
head OF his NEGROES up San Juan Hill. Seeing
the General lying as in q stupor, APT. Ducat
dragged himself along the deck and made a
joke Of his own injuries in order to rally his
sick comrade. Gen. Young says that this
spirit was characteristic Of the regulars all
through.

The Inhabitants OF the Scotch town Of
Leith suffered a rude shock one day this
week. On Monday night they went to bed
undisturbed by any thoughts OF war or
invasion. On Tuesday morning they woke to
find the walls of their town placarded with
a royal proclamation calling out the army
reserve. militia and volunteers. "Ah, then
and there was hurrylng to and fro" volun-
teers in particular, after reading the proclama-
ton, fastened home to pack their kits. and
many had presented themselves at headquar-
tiers before it was found out that some one had
Numbered.
1t seems that some time ago. oven before the
Fashoda incident. placards were printed calling
for the mobilization OF the defensive forces.
These were held in readiness to be issued to
chief constables and other public officials
throughout the country whenever necessity
should arise for their publication. During the
Fashoda crisis these plaeards were sent out to
all chief constables. together with an intima-
ton that they should only be posted on receipt
ofan express order from the military authori-
ties. Since then they have innocently reposed
in the desks OF the different chief constables
throughout the United Kingdom, except In the
case OF Leith.
How the mistake occurred at Leith we are
no told. "Misapprehension on the part OF y
police official" is the most definite explanation
given Of the blunder which for a time put the
borough into an acute war fever. The mistake
was soon rectihed, the placards were hurrledly
torn down and the burghers OF Leith were by
evening as free from wars alarms as the rest
Of the kingdom. H. r. c..

Cafe Dining Car Service on Q. & C
Route.

Commencing Sunday, June 18th inst.
the train leaving New Orleans via the
Queen 81 Crescent Route at 1870 D. N.
daily for the summer resorts of Tennes-
see and Virginia, and for Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, will take on Cafe Dining Car at
Alfalfa, Ala, and carry it to Radford,
Va, serving meals a Ia carte.
This car returning will be attached
at Radford and run to Alfalfa.
The hours are very favorable, and
the service will be first class in every
particular.
The route of the car via Chatta-
noogs and through the Cum berland
and Blude Ridge Mountain region en-
ables the traveller to view some of the
most beautiful scenery in the country
while enjoying his meals.
The q la carte plan of dining car
enables the passenger to almost pro-
cure any sort of meal that suits his
fancy, from a cup of coffee and roll to
an elaborate spread, paying only for
what he orders.
This feature of the Queen & Cres-
cent service will, no doubt, be fully ap-
preciated by the travelling public, and
that it will receive very liberal patron
age cannot be doubted.
DThe through trains of the V. S. & P.
and A. 81 V. r. r. from Shreveport,
Monroe. Vicksburg, Jackson. etc,
making connection at Meridian with
the train carrying this Dining Car, and
passengers from these places will be
equally benefited by this service.
Yours truly,

A FEW days ago the HERALD prlut-
ed dispatch stating thut the Russian
government had ordered from the Car
negie steel works $50, 900 tons of steel
rails for the great trans-Siberian rail-
way. The outlay represented in this
order, the largest ever given to one
firm in the world, will be between
1880, 900 and $4,000, 900.
1t will take 200, 600 tons
of pig iron to make the rails, and no
workman in the rail mills of the Car
negie concern need have any fear
of losing his job until after the first OF
January, 1902. This is species OF in

be glad to get, and the operators would
not object to it, either.

THE democratic party of the state OF
Kentucky seems to be broken into
three equal portions, each charging
the other two with foul play, and the
man who was finally nominated for
governor can scarcely be said to re-
present the people. The convention
was said by the press correspondents
to be the most turbulent meeting that
has ever been held in this country.
That is probably an exaggeration. but
certainly harmony didn't spread her
snowy wings very obviously over the
assem- bly,.

Hence nobody is surprised to find the
national convention OF credit men, as
told in last weeks issue, denouncing
the antitrust laws of Arkansas and
Texas as "practically compelling the
substential fire insurance companies to
