0hlckenS W lin Asbestos Feathers.
An occasional correspondent of the New
York Herald at Newcastle. Pa, sends the
following:
What is said to be new species of fowl
is being raised by Lucas Perkins. constable
and chicken fancier of this city
His hennery is in the sixth ward near
an asbestos works. and the chickens feed on
asbestos siftings. Persons who have bought
eggs from Perkins recently complained that
they did not cook we'll. Fire had little eff
feet on them. When eaten raw they seemed
to be all right. but they could not be boiled
or fried properly.
Some young chicks were Matched from the
eggs and instead of having feathers the new
brood is growing a covering Of down that
resembles asbestos. They are unlike any
thing ever seen by the chicken fancier, ac-
cording to Perkins.
Hundreds of persons have seen the chick
ems and while Perkins Is pleased at the
excitement his fowls are creating there Is
no market for fireproof eggs. He says he
will ship some Of the chicks to the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington. d. c.,

CASE OF EX-CADET BOOZ.
Additional Facts Regarding His Haz-
ing at West Point.

dispatch to the New York Herald from
West Point yesterday says: Investigation
of the career OF Oscar l.. Booz as a cadet
in the United States Military Academy re-
Veals that he was dragged out into the woods
and required to drink mixture of tomato
ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and red pep
per. When lie then refused to be a party
in a standup fight with another cadet he
was peremptorily branded a coward. The
subsequent attitude of his comrades toward
him forced him to resign from the academy
Cowardice is charged not only by his for
mer classmates. but also by the military
authorities against Booz, who lies dying at
his home in Bristol. Pa. from injuries al
legged to have been received from hazing
while a cadet at the academy.
Only traditions old as the academy it
self were followed in the hazing of Booz
His own individuality made him the unfor-
tunate victim of general prejudice and I'M
popularity. He was virtually forced from
the Military Academy by the attitude of his
fellow students because of his failure to
act in harmony with unwritten college law
and custom
There is no truth in the report sent out
by the friends of the former cadet that
tabasco sauce or a red hot iron was forced
down the young mans throat.
Because BooZ is reported to be dying as
result of injuries inflicted upon him by his
fellow students a rigid investigation has
been made at the academy. AS vet the
authorities are only in part possession Of
the facts that surround the hazing of Booz
The names of the cadets whose prank of
one night Is said to have caused the fatal
illness of the former cadet are known to
many of their classmen. but 1t Is matter
of honor to each one of them to hold Sc
cret that roll Of cornwall spirits responsible
for the undoing of their comrade.
A dispatch from Trenton, N. j. yesterday
says: An attempt is now being made to
elicit an anta-mortem statement from Oscar
L.. Booz. formerly a cadet at West Point
who is dying at his home in Bristol, Pa
as result Of injuries said to have been
inflicted at West Point nearly a year ago.
The young man is slowly sinking away and
the ante-mortem statement was suggested
by the Bucks county authorities. He can
not talk. is too weak to write, and just how
the statement will be obtained Is a mys-
terry. The young mans folks are willing
TO have him make a statement for the
benefit of the public well as themselves
Booz today Is weaker than ever His
stomach will rot admit Of food or nour-
ishment-
DR.. Weaver, who is attending him. said
tonight: The boy is slowly starving to
death Nothing can be done for him AS
to an ante-mortem statement, the boys
mental powers are not in fit condition to
make a statement of that sort. He will not
live a week.

ject of Jest.
Michael Ruhls' flaming red tie was the
most attractive thing in Judge SCOTS court
this morning, and when the wearer of 1T
was called upon to answer charge of
vagrancy he expressed surprise that such
an accusation should have been entered
against him.
why, your honor he said 81 came here
because President Mckinley sent for me-"
Policeman Wall told the court that he
found Ruhl in the vicinity Of the signal
tower on the Pennsylvania railroad near
thc foot of 18th street early last night. He
was wandering about the street, and when
placed under arrest he said he had come
here to call on the President.
president Mckinley sent for me-" Ruhls
informed the court, because I'm man of
four languages and he Knows I'm smart"
He took from his pocket a typewriter
letter that had been given him Saturday.
AS soon as he received it he left Baltimore
for this city. The letter which he showed
the judge reads:
Il hereby take pleasure in asking you to
call On me at the very earliest date to
range matters for very important case
l have for you to work up for me, the de-
tails of which L Will give you when you
call on me. At the same time l wish to
extend to you most cordial invitation to
be present at the banquet to be given by
me at the national capital in honor of my
reelection. There will be lots more of dis
tinguished guests like yourself present.
Hoping that you will favor me with your
presence, remain yours truly,

1909. Tickets will be furnished at the
door"
What purported to be poStmarks on the
bod puda will npn
of a stamp, and when Judge Scott called
his attention to the markings, Ruhl said:
why. your honor, that's a penitentiary
offense."
Everybody in Baltimore knows me- he
added, land they think so much of me that
some of them call me senator The prls-
orer was asked If he were married and he
answered in the negative.
II intended to get married" he said, but
I changed my mind, and I'm better Off"
Ruhl. still of the opinion that the letter
was genuine. was sent back to be examined,
the court suggesting that his mind was I'M
balanced.
