Mr.. Bird Speaks.


Mr.. Bird Speaks.
Levi C. Bird seconded the platform
and there were loud cries for him to
take the stage. He did so and at once
pleased his hearers by declaring that
the convention contained more intelli-
gence than any similar gathering he
had ever seen in the State Mr.. Bird
reviewed the history of the party, con-
demned Colonel Bryan and praised the
Administration of President Nc
Kinley.
Mr.. Bird said that the future histor
ian without prejudice in chronicling
the administration of Mckinley will
pronounce it an administration of be-
coming dignity, of the highest integ-
rity and of most patriotic purposes.
With it's birth, he said, it found itself
in possession of a worse than crippled
financial policy, a dissatisfied people,
labor at a compile standstill, confidence
entirely shaken, capital hidden and
stored by reason of lack of confidence,
| devices innumerable to coin money
that was not money and to make dol
lar not of merit and value but legis-
lative dollar, stamped with lie upon
its face. Now, he said, there was pros
perity everywhere, workmen were busy
and happy, capital had come from its
hiding places and the finances of the
United States were on firm basis.
Rev. J. S. Willis and VIM. Michael
Byrne, District Attorney, metaphori-
cally Rugged and kissed, and Mr.. Will
lis denounced Addicks, whom he affil-
lated with heartily until he saw there
was no chance of getting a senatorship,
in vigorous terms.

GERS of the committee should call &

So great nuisance have the rats recently become in Copenhagen that efforts are being made to exterminate them. In order to encourage the new occupation of rat hunting for profit and pleasure combined, a premium Of 10 ore per rat is being paid for every one of the rodents produced whole but dead, For the past three weeks war against the rats has been waged.

THE STORY OF A PEARL.
Interesting History of One Exhibited
 in Cincfnnati


 A pearl valued at $10,000 is on ex- hihition in iewelry stora window in Vine street. Nor is the pearl with out history. MT. Smith purchased 1t from Julius Pedrazo1Ii, a descend ant of the royal house of Italy. The pearl is over 100 years old and it's story is &n interesting one. 4 party of pearl divers were plying their trade in the waters of the East Indian seas. A sudden commotion among the work CTS told of the presence of their dead- ly enemy, man-eating shark. All but one escaped, and his companions were mortified as they watched the poor fellow struggling in the water, unable to render him assistance. By great ef- fort they succeeded in =rescuing the upper part of the body from the Yo- racious fish and bore the mangled re- mains to the house of the grief-strick- en parents. The day before the bur fal this almost priceless pearl was found in the mouth of the dead man. The pearl was sold to Koloko. a na- tive chief, and for many years remain ed in the royal family of the tribe In 1880 Julius Pedrazoln, an Italian traveller saw the pearl, and, attracted by it's perfect shape and beauty, he bought it from the tribe, together with the crude gold setting and ring made by the native jewellers. Mir. Smith purchased it from PedrazolIi and claims that the pearl bae no equal in the United States. The pearl weighs 46 grains, and in daylight it's beauti- ful hues are dazzling Cincinnati Commercial-Tribuno

 the Cemetery Worker

the Cemetery Norker-
 The gravediggers in the different burying grounds have their own phi- losopbv of life. One of them who has been in the business nearly 26 years, and who takes an exceedingly cheerful view of life notwithstanding his occupation, said that when he first went into it he felt kind of shaky, but that now he would as soon dig a grave as do anything else, says the Baltimore Sun. I've seen some mighty queer things in my time" he said. i've seer people-mourners, l mean catch sight of name on the card tied on to some flower piece and then they have gone straight to work to tear up the whoio thing. I'll tell you another thing I've noticed. When woman comes along and makes big fuss at her husbands funeral and says, I can't live without him!' know that in a few weeks tipee I'll see her out here leaning on some young fellows arm. It's never failed. It's happened every time. But the people-women and men too-who don't take on lot, but just keep still and sometimes don't even shed tear, that's the kind that grieves. You don't see that kind mar 7ying again so soon"

PET ANIMALS BECOME PESTS,
Horses, cats, Pigs, Goats and Rabbit.
 All Have Become Nu sances.

All Have Become Nu sances.
 Ordinary domestic animals under ia, yorable conditions often become pests. Some instances. In 1897 Nevada passed law permitting the killing of wild horses as nuisances. In Washington v 89r cut up to bait traps. Most of .tz=4i.gi horses on tue continent are deasSAaed from few loosed by Cortez in Mexico. In Australia hunters shoot Wild horses, which eat grass aeeded by the sheep and cattle. Gets have made a home on Cat island, one of the Ker- gueleas, where they are SC wild that it is impossible to tame them. Their pro- genitors escaped from whaling vessels They were put ashore on Sable island, off Nova Scotia, to kill the rabbits that had become a pest. Now the rabbits are gone and the cats are worse. Pigs were put ashore on many islands, such as Bermuda, the Galapagos and is- lands along the southern coast. as food for shipwreeked sailors. h every easf they have multiplied and become wild. Capt Cook put some ashore on New Zealand, where they are now shot as game. St. Helena, mountainous is land of small extent, 2,700 feet high was heavily wooded at it's discovery To-day it is a rocky desert, owing to the introduction of goats by the Por tuguese in 1513 When the goats ate off the underbrush rain washed away the soil and the big trees tumbled. Rabbits are the worst of all animal geourges in Australia and New zea- land They are poisoned, killed fol their skins, for their meat; but still they multiply Cats alone can kill them off; but then cats become a pest also Since 1873 New Zealand has shipped more than 29o 100000 rabbit skins.
