STORKS OF THE ORIENT.
Their Interesting Ways and Their Care

Their Interesting Ways and Their Care
| FOR a Manned Comrade
When I went to the East in 1898,
Commodore Porter was our minister
resident at the Sublime Port. He was
residing at the time of my visit at San
Stefano, about 10 miles west of Con-
! stantinople, right on the shore of the
beautiful sea of Marmora 1t was
charming place for a warworn veteran
to enjoy the quiet evening of life In
| all that region north Of the sea of Mar
| mora, extending beyond the Balkan
mountains to the Danube, the stork Is
favorite bird. Along the north of
Marmora, where there very few tall
trees, the stork builds it's nest on the
tops of chimneys, which in the East are
always covered, the smoke issuing from
side windows or openings. The nests
are very rude in appearance about as
large as a two-bushel basket. Sticks
as large as your finger are skilfully
woven into them They are made soft
and nice with moss and cotton and
wool. The stork has two long legs, but
for some reason or other generally
stands on one, the other drawn up
among his feathers. / think ] have
seen as many as 80 In a row on a river
bank each one standing on one leg.
When thus standing in repose it is
about three feet high, the chief of the
hight being leg and neck. 1t stalks
over the field with an awkward gait,
its neck alert, and its lightning stroke
finishes the race of any snake, lizard,
toad, bug or other "vermin' on the
ground. From kitchen refuge it selects
what suits its taste, and is bold in
claiming it. 1t has no voice. The
strange clatter of its broad, fiat bill is
indescriba BILE. 1t seems to play rough
tunes to it's mate.
Commodore Porter had a stork's nest
on the chimney of his kitchen, build |

nected by coverey way. The chimney |
was TALL round like column. and very |

FRANCE RI1TERLY ARRAIGNED
British Papers Most Emphatic In De-
nouncimg the Dreyfus Verdict.

nouncimE the Dreyfus Verdict.
London, Sept. lit would be diff
cult to describe adequately the indigna-
ton the verdict of the court-martial has
evoked everywhere in England. The
excitement In the Jewish quarters of
London is only natural. Special pray
ers were offered throughout Saturday
in all the synagogues on behalf of Drey-
fus and as soon as the verdict was
known Jews and Jewesses were seen at
every street corner expressing execra
ton and many sobbing bitterly. At the
music halls especially the Palace thea
ter where cinematograph pictures of
the incidents and leading actors Of the
Dreyfus affair were exhibited, the news
was greeted with groans and Misses In
the French quarter of London there was
much excitement, accompanied by some
street fighting.
In almost all the places of public wor-
ship yesterday pulpit references were
made to the verdict. Canon Scott-Hol-
land, at st. Pauls cathedral, said: IA
nation is on it's trial. France stands
at the judgment bar. All civilization Is
waiting to know whether to-morrow's
news may add anything to qualify the
naked cruelty of bare telegram, any
thing to relieve staggered conscience.
The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, the well
known Wesleyan divine, preaching at
St James hall, said: Five unhappy
Judges have taken their places, in the
Judgment of the human race, beside
Judas, PLATE, Judge Jeffres and other |
foul creatures. They have sentenced |
their victim to a decade of imprison-
ment, but they have decreed themselves !

Text of the Judgment.

The following is the text of the judg-
ment rendered by the court-martial at
Rennes Saturday:
To-day, June 9, 1899, in the court
tial of the Tenth Region Army corps,
deliberating behind closed doors, the
president put the following question::
rs Albert Dreyfus, brevet captain,
Fourteenth regiment of artillery, pro-
bationer on the general staff, guilty of
having, in 1894, entered into machina-
tons or held relations with foreign
power, or one of it's agents, in order to
induce it to commit hostility or under
take war against France, or to procure
for it the means therefor, by delivering
the notes and documents mentioned in
the documents called the bordereau, ac-
cording to the decision of the court of
cessation Of June 8, 1892"
The votes Were taken separately, be-
ginning by the inferior grade and
young in the last grade the president
having given his opinion last, The
court declares on the question by ma
jority of votes to 2, Yes the aceus-
ed is guilty.
The majority agreed that there are
extenuating circumstances, in conse-
quence of which, and on the request of
the commssary of the government the
president put the question and received
again the vote In the above mentioned
form.
AS a result, the court condemns, by a
majority of votes to 2, Alfred Dreyfus
to the punishment of ten years deten-
ton

A DREYFUs MASS MEETING.

May be Held Here-New Haven Pas
tors Opinions Of the Trial.
A number of prominent citizens in
New Haven are considering a sugges-
ton that a mass meeting be called to
protest against the action of the French
court in rendering a verdict of guilty in
the Dreyfus case. The movement has
not yet taken definite shape, but one
well known gentleman, speaking in
strong terms denunciatory of the out
come of the trial said that he intended
to call mass meeting in a few days.
He said that he thought that such meet
ings would be held in many of the larg-
err cities of the country. He favored the
adoption of resolutions of protest and
sending copies to the French govern
ment.
AT st. Johns Episcopal church yester-
day Rev. Mr.. Bispham Of Trinity church
preached and spoke Of the Bible charac-
ter, Amos the prophet In the course OF
his remarks he touched upon the i'm
portance and beauty Of justice In that
connection he referred to an instance in
France where justice has been signally
outraged in the past few days. referring
doubtless to the Dreyfus case, although
he mentioned no name. He said that
the victim of that outrage deserved the
prayers of all justice loving people.
Rev Mr. 'Beardsley of st. Thomas
church recently returned from q trip
to Europe, where he had an opportu-
nifty to watch the progress of the Dreyfus
case. In his sermon yesterday he spoke
of France as country where much at
tention is paid to the forms of religion.
He said that one travelling in that coun-
try sees priests and churches very num-
erous, but despite this there 10 notice.

atty and a seeming Indifference to NOR

as to be seen to be almost a national

which has thrown all France into con-
vulsior.
Several other city pastors yesterday
made illusions to the Dreyfus case.

THE BOOMING BAYOU.
IL Continued to Rise slowly All Day
Ycsterday-Tbc Rainfall.

The bayou bridges we're allied nearly all
day yesterday with crowds of people wit
Messing the very unusual sight OF the bayou
out of its banks. and descanting upon the
beauty Of the stream. The rise had been
slow and gradual Wednesday night and
during yesterday forenoon, but from 2
to p. m. there was no appreciable in
crease in the volume of the water.
AT the Yharves at the foot of Fannin
street the water was so high that the
watermelon feet anchored there sought a
safe harbor some distance up Fannin
street, and several large sloops were float
ing all day on a limo with the rear portion
of the Cleveland building. The barges
and tugs of the navigation company were
safely anchored and moored in the center
OF the swollen stream. The navigation
company's warehouses and chutes on the
opposite side OF the stream were COM
plotely submerged but as far as could be
ascertainod not seriously damaged.
The work of constructing the new bridge
at Franklin avenue was completely HGlc,
water, and the bulkhead at the foot OF
Commerce. street at the approach Of the
Milan street bridge gave way with a con.
siderable landslide behind It.
From hygienic point of view, the pres
ent freshet Is OF incnlculahlo benefit to
Houston, as It has carried away an aceu-
mutation OF disease breeding matter that
could not have been eifectually gotten rid
Of in any other way The heavy rain has
also done good work in securing out the
sewers.
The rainfall yesterday from a. m. 10 {
p. m. was 80 inches. making total Of
642 Inches since the rain commenced on
Monday night.
