THE EI.EGISLATuRE.

The Importance of the session of the |
state Legislature which begins at Dover |
tomorrow, cannot be over estimated The
time and circumstances of its assembling
the duties devolving upon it and the OPP
i,ortilnities afforded the Republican ma
iority. all combine to make it not only
important but interesting. In point of
time and circumstance it is interesting
10 note that the Legislature will meet
on the first day of the New Year and of
the new century; that it will be the brst
legislature to meet in the second century
Of the States history as one of the
Federal Union; that it is the first to be
controlled, by majority in both houses
and in the joint convention, by the Re
publican party, and the first at which two
Republican United States Senators could
be elected, and, again on the political
side, the first at which Republicans could
try their skill at the modifying Of the
Democratic election laws under which
the majority political sentiment of the
State has been suppressed during the
whole history Of the Republican party.
Every one Of these facts relative to the
Legislature is, in the mere statement OF
it, an argument for an amicable ADJUST
ment of the factional differences of the
Republicans and their united and friend
ly efforts to make the most out of the
circumstances and opportunities which
control Of the State gives to the members
of the Legislature and to the majority
party. Nothing short of this will meet
the obligations the Republican members
of the Legislature are under to their
party and to the people of the State.
The party is on trial in their personali-
ties. Their failure will be decisive of its
fate in this State For half century
the Republicans of this State have been
complaining of Democratic tyranny and
misgovernment, and for a large part of
that time have been appealing to the
National Republican party for aid in
throwing off the yoke which oppressed
them, and have been saying to the coun-
Try at large that Delaware was not being

provision guaranteeing republican form

Some time in the early part OF the

wishing to retire from active business,
came up to Woodbury. and bought

house which is now finished the NOV
ing-in probably starting this week IL
the doctor had looked the whole town
over carefully, he could hardly nave
found another place where he could at
the same time beautify an ugly place
and also have at the end a most deSlr-
able location. When the doctor bought
the land there were several tenements
scattered along the street, but no pains
had been taken to make the grounds
look well, and as for the river side, 1t
was all woods and brush, whereas now
there are paths and many shady cor
ners The house is situated on ridge
sloping gradually some one hundred
and seventy-fve feet back from the
road. which lies directly east of it, On
the west is a fine view of West Side
and the Pomperaug river, which lies
in the valley nearly one hundred feet
abruptly a little ways north of the
house but at the end is, according to
tradition, the grave of the Indian Chief
Pomperaug, after whom this valley
was named On the south is one of the
finest views In town, that of Southbury,
clear to the station four miles below.
The house itself although handsome,
strikes one as being small, on account
of the size Of the grounds around 1t.
1t is about fifty by thirty feet, and two
stories and half high. with a very
neat little porch on the southeast cor
ner. The cellar was dug out of solid
trap rock. Down stairs, the parlor and
sitting room in the front are finished in
white, the office In cherry color, and
the dining room in dark green. A hall
runs north and south through the house
between the parlors and dining room,

with the exception of the joinering,
which was done by John w. Kenney,

Several buildings have been put up
this summer, N. M. and F. r. Strong

corner drug store in North Woodbury..
1t is a large two story building and has
been rented by W. II. Munson, who is

ISRAEL A. KELSEY DYING
NOT EXPECTED no LIVE At An
EARLY noun THIS MORNING.
His Physician said Last Night That HIS
Death Was Hourly Expected

Mr.. Israel A. Kelsey, one of west
Ravens most prominent citizens, is ~
ing at the point of death at his home
124 Center street, and it was not pc
lieved late last evening that he would
survive the night. DR.. Wilson, his at
tending physician, said late last night
that his patient was hourly expected to
die and that nothing further could be
done to stay the disease that for three
months has Slapped his vital forces.
Mr.. Kelsey was taken sick while on his
schooner yacht the Adrienne, in New
London in the early part of the sum-
mer, and since then has been confined
to his home in West Haven, where he
gradually grew worse despite the COM
bined efforts of number of physicians.
The trouble at first seemed to be
nervous prostration and it was thought
that he would recover in short while.
Soon after he reached West Haven the
ailment seemed to be in the nature OF
malarial fever, and later symptoms OF
typhoid set in. Again the fever turned
and his physician said that he had ner"
vous prostration combined with ty-
phoid malaria. During the protracted
illness a number of physicians were
called in consultation and everything
possible was done by them to check the
disease

Within recent years, however, they
have frequented sheep stations for the
sake of the ofSal from the slaughter
sheds. Now they will kill sheep for
themselves digging down through skin
and flesh till they reach their favorite
morsel. The change of habits in the
rhinoceros birds seems to have been
brought about by the scarcity Of their
ordinary food, and in the kea parrots
by the opportunity OF procuring new
and toothsome food with comparatively
little trouble. In both cases human
agency plays an important though III
direct part, and the story Of the rhin-
oceros birds is one more instance of tho
influence of civilized man on a fauna

brings in his train.-London Standard.

Punishment of the Chinese RinSlead
crs IA Precedent to NegOtiations-Lt
Hung Chang and Prince Ching Ac-
copted as Peace Commtssioners-The
Withdrawal of Troops.
Washington, Sept. 22.--The state de-
partment Saturday night made public
the text of the notes addressed by 1t to
the governments of Germany, Russia
and China in answer to IN
quiries from them as to the
attitude of the United States toward
various phases of the Chinese problem
The forecasts of these notes made In
the press appear to have been accurate,
for, although nowhere in the text is
reference made to the withdrawal OF
United States troops from China, the
official statement issued by the navy
department in advance of the publica-
ton of the notes bears out the predic-
ton that the government finally has
u8ClQGQ upon SuCu d llleilSlidl lCNuNhioii
of its military force as will amount to
q withdrawal of the army as an Often
sive instrument.
This statement from the navy depart
ment, moreover, Is full of significance
of purpose on the part of the govern
ment to see to it that if there Is any
subsequent attempt at territorial ag-
gression on the part of any of the pow
ers who have already declared them
selves as willing to abide by the eX-
pressed determination of the United
States to refrain from selling upon
Chinese territory, the United States is
to lose no right or privilege which 1t
now enjoys by such action.
The notes themselves are brief, con-
sidering the Importance of the topics
treated. The Russian and Chinese
answers, being in the form of diplo-
matte memoranda, are short to de-
gree rarely seen in diplomatic exchange,
but in both cases, being favorable to
the inquirer, they will probably escape
criticism on that score.
The answer to the German note is
carefully phrased so as to soften the
unqualified refusal of the United States

THE RHINocERoUs BIRD.
He Has Become a Carnivorous Anima
and Mutilates Cattle.

He Has Become a Carnivorous Animal
and Mutilates Cattle.
The rhinoceros birds of Africa have
long enjoyed the reputation OF being
friends of man, by reason of the ser
vices they render in Kidding cattle and
horses Of insect pests. From the days
OF LIE Valiant down to our own times,
travellers have written in their praise;
and the account of these birds and their
habits Is one of the brightest bits of de-
scription in MiIlais' Breath from the
Veldt." In appreciation of their good
offices they were awarded special pro-
lection at the International conference
on the preservation of wild animals in
Africa, held in London last May.
For some little time, however, it has
been doubted whether their usefulness
had not been overestimated, or at any
rate, whether the good they did was
not more than counterbalanced by the
injury inflicted by them on domestic
animals in probing and deepening ex-
listing wounds. These misgivings wera
strengthened when Lord Phillips told
us how the Arabs detested the rhinoce-
ros birds because they worried the
camels; and Hawker wrote of the So
mails driving them away when they
tried to settle on the baggage ponies
Now a much graver charge Is brought
against them, backed up by convincing
evidence, at least SO far as regards one
part of Africa.
Professor Ray Lancaster has just
published letter from Captain Hinde,
Of the British East African protecto-
rate, in which that officer says that,
owing to the destruction of the native
herds In Ukumbani by the cattle
plague and the eating up of the sheep
and goats in the famine, the birds were
deprived of their accustomed insect
food. In consequence of this they have
domestic animal not constantly
watched and protected. Captain Hinde
asserts that perfectly healthy animals
have had their ears eaten, and holes
torn In their backs and TANKS, by these
birds with their large and powerful
bills This categorical statement puts
the alteration in their feeding habits
beyond all possible doubt, and shows,
in the words Of Professor Lancaster,
that they are dangerous and noxious
creatures" at least in that part of the
protectorate OF which Captain Hinde
writes
This change Of insect food to the flesh
of living vertebrates is paralleled in the
case of the kea parrots of New Zea-
land, which formerly fed on the grubs
that lived in the woolly tufts of COM
posie plant allied to the cudweed.
