We wish r. W. Woodwork hadn't killed

done on Wednesday, in Windsor just north
OF the Hartford town line. If Mr.. Wood

and 1897 he would have been liable to pay

was repealed by the general assembly of
1897. and the dubious glory Of the perform
ance is charged up to Representative Main
of Stonington. The legislators assented to
eagle less. but because they loved Mr..
Main more. The repeal bill, introduced by
the unique representative from Stonington,
went to the committee on agriculture,
which reported adversely. Mr.. Main was
mad. He began to live the strenuous life.
He set out to do up the committee on
agriculture. and consequently to do up the
eagle. He blended talk and hustle in har-
monious proportions. The fight was fast
and furious. The issue was long in doubt.
Finally a majority of the members, striv-
ing to please and fearing that Mr.. Main
might leave the state if the bill were de-
feated, stood by him, turned the commit
tee down. passed the bill and gave every
body an opportunity to put daylight
through any eagle that came along.

is noble bird. To be sure, its healthy ap-
petite occasionally induces 1t to put for
hidden things on its bill of fare. and 1t
isn't always friendly to articles which the
farmer highly prizes. Nevertheless, the
eagle on the whole Is so attractive. so ma
jestic, so emblematic that. in spite of its
occasional bad habits, we can't quite see
how a genuine sportsman can wish to pull
the trigger when he sees one of the mag
nffcent birds up in the blue.

value OF having one guide for each man;
for while one hunter is making his daily
trips, another goes of for two or three or
four days with his blankets or sleeping bag

stream, or of through the woods. Perhaps.

The Democratic Territorial Convention.

The Democratic territorial cOnven- tiOn, which met at Phoenix on Wednes- day, adjourned Friday after a very stormy session. The fight between Mark Smith and J. F. Wilson was a most bitter one. The convention was in the hands of the sheriff and the police during its entire session and they were unable to maintain sem blance of order. but kept the delegates of the two factions from doing personal violence 10 each other.
 The Wilson faction selected R. l.. Ling as temporary chairman, and the Smith faction selected C. NJ. Shannon for the chair, and the business of the convention was transacted by both charmen. A committee of three from each faction was chosen with power to select d seventh man to umpire the nomination, but this failed because no agreement could be reached as to the umpire. Smith consented to withdraw if Wilson would. but this arrange ment the Wilson men bitterly opposed.
 It is said that Wilson also desired to withdraw from the contest and let Smith have the plum.
 The factions ended the farce by nOmi- hating both Wilson and Smith. and the fight goes merriIy along.

White or Mixed In This Way of Mar
keting ellen Fruit"
"Give me quart of yolks."
What are whites worth today?
"Send me up gallon of mixed"
Such expressions as these will be IA
miliar terms in grocery stores and
butcher shops in Kansas City before
long. Housewives will make them so,
for eggs will be sold by the pint, quart
and gallon instead of by the dozen. In
fact, the big confectionery establish
ments of the city buy them by the gal
lon now. Kitchen economy suggested
the scheme, and local packers imme-
diately took it up.
How often it is that a cook will
break dozen or more eggs in order to
get the yolks to make cake. The
whites will be thrown away. or vice
versa. Why not make a saving of the
whites or yolks, as the case may be?
was suggested. The packers put the
question to the confectioners, and the
latter saw the point. Now, when a
confectioner wants to make stuff with
the yolks he sends to a packing house
and buys yolks by the gallon. If he
wants to use the whites for some
thing, he sends for them. If he wants
to use both, he sends and gets mixed
can. 1t is predicted that housewives
will soon adopt the same method.
With this new system of handling
