where it had come, evidently. looking
for food or water. as it was rathar
tame.
The bird is of dark gray color and
measures nearly five feet from tip to
tip and is larger than full grown
turkey. The strange part of it is that
the bird, after making one or two
turns above the yard slowly settled
down, as if totally unmindful of it's
surroundings. and walked about the
yard as confident as it would perch
on Bald Mount.
1t was evidently hungry, as it looked
for food, and later made visit TO the
woodshed. where Mr.. Schroedel cap
tured it with no struggle whatever. 1t
will be put on exhibition at the bakery
today.

Autl Vice Crusade.

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-Not in the recol-
lection of the oldest inhabitant Of the
'red light district" has that section Of
the city been SO cleared Of its dens oi
vicious characters as it was tonight. The
owners took fright Saturday night and
fed. They had read that Captain Titus
was coming. The fight between Captain
Titus and the dive keeping element has
been waiting game. The dive-keepers
believe that the reform will soon be ovei
and therefore intend to keep their shut.
ters closed until they "get the tip" to
resume business. Committees Of citizens
in the district will be appointed to keer
a sharp watch for the return Of the dive
keepers. The women in the district viii
organize to that end.
The anti-vice committee appointed BY
Charles S. Smith will probably meet to
morrow for organization. Headquarters
will be selected and various subcommit
tees will be appointed to take up the
crusade in earnest. 1t was rumored to
night that the Parkhurst society will bs
asked to aid the committee. The Centra
Labor Union took up the vice matter to
day and adopted resolutions expressing
sympathy with the movement.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-From inforna-
ton obtained in talks with senators and
representatives the indications are
that the shipping subsidy bill will Be
very likely to BE- set aside after i has
been demonstrated that it cannot pass,
aud that il will encounter vigorous oppo-
sition. Eevcn republicans are in doubt
whether they should pass the bill Or not,
among them being Representative Bur-
ton, chairman Of the committee on rivers
and harbors, who represents Cleveland,
Hanna's home town. He has already
suggested that the bill would have to be
greatly modified before 1t would receive
his support. That was the position Of :
number Of members during the last con.
gress. A great many republicans shied
at any subsidy bill whatever. and they
sought to have 1t modified largely from
the first draft that it was introduced by
Hanna in the senate and Payne in the
house, and became known a. the Hanna
Payne shipping bill. Now any prolonged
opposition in the short session in the
senate can defeat almost any measure.
The elections bill was defeated in the
fifty-first congress in that way, and the
shipping bill could be defeated in this
congress. But there is a difference in
conditions now. It was known in the
short session of the fifty.6rst congress
that the house would be overwhelmingly
democratic in the next congress, and
the defeat Of any obnoxious measure
would mean no possibility OF its passing
in the next session. Now 1t is known
that there 10 large republican majority
in the next house, much larger than In
the present. The same is true Of the

WEST POINT, N. Y. Dec. 5.-Before
the death of Oscar I. Booz at Bristol, Pa.
was announced today, Colonel A. l..
Mills, superintendent Of the military
academy, made the following statement:
"The manv statements made in the
press Of the country alleging that Oscar
l.. Booz was atrociously hazed while he
was cadet at the military academy to
such an extent that he is now dying from
its effects are untrue and ridiculous. Ex-
Cadet Booz was admitted to the military
academy June, 1898, and resigned Oct. 3,
1898. He was on sick report but once,
July &c. when he was excused from the
drills on account of diarrhoea. If he had
been brutally beaten in fight with an
other cadet, or had his throat been in
jured in the manner claimed, it would
have been impossible for him to avoid
sick report. The reason given for his
resignation was weak eyes. His record
shows he was in the last section in math-
ematics, and the marks he received to the
date of resignation were deficient.
believe therein lies the real cause of his
resignation, and think it most probable
that stories of his alleged i'll treatment
arises from statements he has made in
endeavoring to explain to his friends
why he left the academy.

To Change rs Complexion.

VIENNA. Dec. S.--The result q the
elections for the new reichsrath, which
began today and continue until January
IS. is awaited with intense interest. The
late house caused no end Of trouble fcr
the government aud heroic efforts aSe
being made to change the complexion d
the new body. Unless remarkable
change comes over the public mind.
however, it 10 probable that the new
house will strongly resemble the old. If
anything the radical element will prob
ably be increased, in which case the
czeches and other parties will have Il ID
their power to obstruct legislation 1t will.
A repetition Of the proceedings of the
late house, which sat only I69 times and
passed only one bill. will probably result
in extreme measures being taken %
remedy affairs. Two courses are LEFT
open to the government. One il the
abolition Of the central parliament, a
the Czeches and other federalists desire
and the other 10 repeal Of the preseut
constitution aud the creation Of new
one with widely extended franchise
and with the omission Of certain obiec-
tionable class privileges, notably those
now enjoyed by the great landed pro-
prietors.

Fusion Issue Dead.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-One of the
prominent candidates for the United
States senate from Nebraska, Editor
Rosewater, Of the Omaha Bee, when in
Washington recently gave out an inver-
view on the local conditions in his state
in which he declared that Nebraska has
seen the end of fusion of the opposition
parties. The silver republicans no long
er exist, and the populists and democrats,
he says, will never again act together.
He predicts that after the republicans
gave a clean, honest government they
will remain i'll power for at least twenty
years to come. In the past the republi-
cans were greatly injured by corrupt ad-
ministrations.
In Nebraska he estimates that the dem
ocrats have but Sc, 600 votes of their own,
the populists having about the same num-
Der. The populist party in Nebraska was
simply an outgrowth Of the opposition to
the course of the railroads in making dis
examinations to build up one place and
iniure another, and to run things gener-
ally in their own way. With this situa-
ton corrected, the republicans now have
nothing to fear from the populist move
ment. Bryan will always be an influen-
tial man with about hve-sixths OF the
democrats of the state, but at the recent
election the people generally were con-
tented with the conditions as they found
them, and were not even now willing to
risk a change OF administrat n.
Mr.. Rosewater is very confident of be.
ing chosen as one OF the two senators
| from Bryan's state where he has had
great assurances OF general support from
the people at large.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. s.-Lumbering OPP
erations in Minnesota are practically at
a standstill on account Of the warm
weather, and unless there is change at
once, lumbermen will be heavy loosers

paid the highest wages in years.
