Now that warm weather is at hand
morning, many complaints are being
received by the police about the crow
ing and cackling OF chickens kept by
persons in the residence portion OF the
city, says the Washington correspond
ent Of the Baltimore Sun-The police
regulations prohibit the keeping of
such fowls when they are an annoy
ance, and a fine on the owner may be
imposed. Inquiry at police headQuar-
ters to-day ELECTED the Information
that such complaints should be sup
ported by the testimony of two wit
nesses from different houses to show
that the noise is a nuisance. In this
connection a story WAS told Of man
in the northwestern section who had a
rooster whose Growing qualities were
of the best and whose voice could be
heard all over the neighborhood. FL
nally his neighbors could endure the
noise NO longer and they hauled the
owner Of the rooster into court. Here
he promised the bird should trouble
them no more. and on that promise
was released. The next morning the
neighbors saw the rooster in the yard
and held an indignation meeting
Calling on the owner. they wanted to
know why he had not kept his prom

annoying any one. 1t had not yet, but

but without sound issuing from his
throat. and informed them that he had
taken 1t to veterinarian. who had re-
moved its vocal chords. 1t is said the
antics of the dumb rooster while at
tempting to crow are most amusing.

These llances will be paid and GER

The National museum will soon
place on exhibition the lock and key
TO the front gate of the sacred city
of Pekin. The gate is Immediately
in front of the imperial residence. The
Chinese inscription on the lock will
be translated. The lock is an iron
cylinder three feet and ten inches
long. Extending from the cylinder is
an iron rod bent back that it might
pass through the gate hasp and into
the lock guide. In the lock are four
tumblers. The key is of iron and is
about four feet long The lock and
key were sent through Minister Con-
ger as n gift to the National Museum
by Rev. w. T. Hobart, n Methodist
missionary in China.
A number of petitions have been
presented to the general land office
for the purchase of dead timber with
in certain portions of the South Platte
forest reserve, Colorado. This timber
is represented to have been killed by
n forest fire, several years ago. 1nas-
much as it appears to be rapidly de-
teriorating in value and quantity and
is a menace to the surrounding timber,
it is thought best to encourage its dis
posal, as its removal will tend to pro-
mote the better growth of surround
ing trees. For these reasons Commits
sioner Hermann has directed that such
portions as are sound enough for com
mercial purpose shall be sold. without
advertisement, for one dollar per thou
sand feet, and that such timber as Is
useful for firewood shall be sold for
15 cents per cord. The distance from
market and inaccessibility Of the tim
ber is taken into consideration in fix
ing these prices. There is over $1,000
feet of burned timber, good for lum-
Der, and many hundreds Of cords Of
firewood. Each purchaser will be lin
| tied to 100 cords of firewood.

They were stationed upon the Mcclure

The prize of Sc for the most comic

bloomer girls and rode a tandem.
The prize for the best lady turnout,

was 1.-The Lady in White" and his
wheel was trimmed to correspond with
his costume.
rhe prize of $3.50 for the most orig
inal turnout went to the rider of the

with a large floral star.
Among the other riders deserving of
special mention were Jess McCausland,
who impersonated a "hayseed;" Arm

The number of participants in this

Wheeling never was an enthusiastic

numbers was made up in the elaborate

displayed in costumes.

Though the weather was threatening
yesterday morning at the hour set for
the assembling Of the floral parade, yet
fortunately for participants and spec
tators, no rain fell to mar their pleas
ure. Sharply at ten O'Clock the car
riages began to assemble on Virginia
street, at the junction of South Front
and Zane streets, and it was during
this time that a representative of the
Register had a brief but pleasant inter
view with the occupants of the different
vehicles composing the pageant
Most excellent tastc had been shown
in the decorations, and there was a
very happy and artistic blending of cos
tune colors with those of the flowers
on each carriage. OF course, the ladies
were the occupants of the carriages in
the majority of cases, and very prop
erly SO.
There was a pleasing variety in the
style of the decorated vehicles, which
were of every sort, from a very small
wagon drawn by a team of goats, to the
elegant breugham.
As the pageant passed along the
streets, the vast crowds, filling the
sidewalks and extending even into the
roadway. greeted it with shouts of up
plause and clapping of hands at all
points evidently thoroughly appreciat-
ing and enjoying the beautiful display.
Promptly at the appointed hour The
parade moved eastward across the sus-
pension bridge to Main street, thence
north to Seventh, doubling back to
Eleventh on Main; thence east to Mar
ket. south to Twentieth, east to Chap
line, south TO Twenty-third, west to
Main, north on Main to the crossing of
Tenth. where it broke up as per pro-
