Cunning for live birds in a church situated
on the principal street of as important city as
Milwaukee was one of the happenings of the
wee; just past. local expert in the use of the
shotgun, a man who has frequently figured in
trar-shooting contests, shot AZ n pigeon in
Gesu Church, startling the 200 worshippers who
were present. but making a. clean a kill "a was
ever recorded, the bird cropping within bounds
and needing no retrieving. " was a long shot,
too. up to the lofty arches Of the great audi
forum, and there was n bad light, but the second
barrel was not required. II all happened
In this way:
A pigeon, a week ago, alighted on one Of the
open windows of the church, and becoming
frightened few into the edifce, making AT
once for the highest point II could discover
The sacristan noticed II. and made vain efforts TO
drive u out. The windows were open and the
doors left ajar. hut the bird held It's ground and
would not leave. II was rather a pretty sight =,
too, TO the worshippers 20 watch the pigeon
a 1t flew from end TO end Of the church. now
above the altar and now away back to tho
choir loft. and tho IDEAS II suggested were Meas

way, and the presence Of the bird grated on HIM
He IL a hearty lrls h nan with a big heart and
he waited rs long n he could to give il a chance
TO escape. lie gave II a name and tried to
feed II. but finally became convinced that tho
pigeon had come to stay. which was not in
accordance with his ideas, so he determined on
its death.
He wanted the execution TO he a clean one
and carried out without n hitch, so he betook
himself to the store Of the John Mernier Gun
Company and asked one Of the clerks II u good
shot wa 20 be found there. The answer was
In the affirmative, but surprise grew to in

men in the store, and they thought they sighted
a joke. However. they became convinced
of tn, earneStness OF the necessity, and under

prepared. a coed gun was selected and the

hesitated when he saw the number Of peorla

sexton knew no retreat and insisted that the

Of what was intended, the hunter took Ms

The situation was readily understood. how

EDWARD j. PHELPS,

Hon. Edward John Phelps, professor of
law at Yale college, died Friday afternoon
at his home in New Haven, Conn. His
death was due directly to an abscess of the
lung although he had been i'll for seven
weeks previous with pneumonia Twelve
hours previous to the time he expired he
lost consciousness which he did not regain
Since week after the time Professor
Phelps was first confined to his bed nearly
two months ago he has lowered between
life and death. Despite his advanced age
his strong constitution prolonged his life
much longer than his physicians at first be-.
lieved possible. At times when the doc
tors thought that the patient was gradually
failing Professor Phelps would rally aad
gain for few days only to fail again. Not
until the early part OF last week however,
was it discovered that he was afflicted with
all abscess OF the lung.
Mr.. Phelps was born in Middlebury, July
IL, 1922, the son of Samuel s. Phelps, a
Senator of the United States and Judge of
the Supreme Court of Vermont. He was
educated at Middlebury College. After
graduating in 1910, he studied law at Yale
University and in the Office of Hon. Horatio
Seymore. He WAS admitted to the bar OF
Addison county in 1843 and soon after be-
gan the practice OF his profession in Bur
lington, which had since been his place OF
residence. He was second comptroller OF
the currency under President Fillmore, a
member OF the constitutional convention
Of 1870, the Democratic candidate for the
Office OF Governor in 1880, president OF the
American Bar Association in 1881, and was
for some twenty years professor of law in
Yale College.
In 1885, the most important office in
the diplomatic service, that of minister to
the Court of St. James, was rendered to
Mr.. Phelps by President Cleveland, and was
filled by him for four years with an ability
and success that will be long remem-
bered on both sides OF the Atlantic. At the
close of his term as minister to England
Mr.. Phelps resumed his chair at Yale Uni
versity, devoting attention at times to a
few important cases before the supreme
court OF the United States Mr.. Phelps
was selected at one time by President
Cleveland for place on the bench of the
Supreme Court of the United States but the
opposition OF some leading Irish politicians
to the appointment, and fear of losing the
Irish vote in the approaching election, in
duced Mr.. Cleveland TO abandon his choice.
He was counsel for the United States at
the Paris court Of arbitration for the set
tlement OF the Alaskan seal fishery conten.
tion with Great Britain.
Mr.. Phelps was the author of various
magazine articles on constitutional and
public questions and on literary topics. He
was man Of wide reading, of cultivated
literary taste, Of keen and independent
judgment, a brilliant and accomplished
speaker and an able writer.

A GOOD THING Intelligent farmers are
already quite enthusiastic over the results
of the combination Of most of the fertilizer
factories of the country into the American
Agricultural Chemical Company. 1t has
been known that a large advance in raw
materials had occurred and corresponding
advance in fertilizers was expected this
season, but prices are now found to be
about the same as last year and the proph-
cts OF evil are Gumb. The combination is
only just perfected but its new system of
buying, making, selling and delivering has
already resulted in large saving in ex-
penses. The farmers are finding too, that
1t is cheaper and every way better to get
their fertilizers from the nearest factory
and not to be confused by the claims of
rival brands and competing salesmen
Farmers are practical men and know busi-
