The first claim filed with the Spanish
Claims Commission for damages for loss
of life in the Cuban war is that of the
widowed mother of a young Key West
newspaper reporter of the name of Gown.
Young Gown went to Cuba in the ca
pacity of correspondent while the Span
iards were in power there and the insur-
rection was in progress. The second day
after he landed he fell into the hands of
the Spaniards. He established his Amer-
can citizenship and the fact that he was
a non-combatant, but the Spaniards con-
demned him to death and cut his head
off with machete. His mother is now
seeking to recover $4,000 damages.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The New York Journal of Commerce
Qnd0 says: ION the subject of consol-
dating the North Atlantic steamship
lines Mr.. Lee of the White Star Line
touched the vital point in the problem
when he said: Before a railroad train
can be run tracks have to be built; not
so with ships. There is the ocean, free
to all. Build your ship, and as long as
she Will float you can run her. There is
lots of freight to be run and the amount
is increasing. The ocean can never be
controlled by trust" If any American
steamship men or financiers have an am
bition to control the North Atlantic trade
they will do we'll to ponder on this sug-
gestion. Every railroad is a qualified mo-
nopoly, and several qualified monopolies
may be combined into something not far
from an absolute monopoly. but the ocean
is a public highway. English. German and
Scandinavian capital cannot be driven
from the sea, for there is not room for
its investment on land. and IL owners
OF existing lines sell out other men will
think they see an opportunity to get into
the business"
The Philadelphia Times (Dem) says:
Certain English journals have been la
boring earnestly to set Germany and the
United States by the ears. Some official
Americans who ought to know better
have followed their cue. The motive is
apparent and we do not believe that
Americans generally are in the least dis
turbed Any government can pick a
quarrel with any other II it tries. but IL
Germany wants no quarrel with the
United States II need have none. The va
porings OF the Lodges and Longs do not
represent public opinion here.
The Washington Post und.) says: ITO
those who know Gov. Gambler, his denial
OF the report that he had used the term
damned Yankees was unnecessary.
The Governor may not have very high
opinion Of some OF the busybodies who
have been visiting the South. but he I'M
derstands the sentiments OF the Northern
people too wen to permit himself TO fall
into such an error as was attributed to
him" --

A Pretty Royal Custom.

A pretty custom dating from the we'd
ding of the late Queen Victoria. con
tributor to The Scotsman says. has ever
since pertaned in the royal family. A
sprig of myrtle which formed part of thu
brides wreath was carefully cultured
and in due time planted out When the
princess royal was married sprigs were
cut for her bridal wreath from this myr-
tie tree. The princess, following her
mothers example, had one OF the sprigs
cared for till it became full sized tree,
which served for the daughter-n-law's
wreath at the wedding of the present
emperor Of Germany.
The custom was observed in the mar.
riage of the Prince of Wales and all
other of Queen Victora's children and
grandchildren. There is already. as the
result of this charming custom. the maxi

customs attached to the marriages of the

Vanished Bird Races.

1t Is reported that the famingo.
the pink curlew, and the egra,
together with several other
species of be utiful and valuable
birds, are vanishing so rapidly
that within few years they will
be practically extinct. The war
fare on these birds has been
waged most vigOr 3uSly. of course,
In civilized countries. The saw
age, with his rude weapons. and
his lndolence, can not possibly do
as much damage as the civilized
man with his shot gun and untir-
ing pursuit not only of the birds
but of the dollar.
For some reason or other the
human race is much addicted to
that Improbable habit known as
"shutting the stable door after
the horse is gone" 1t would
have been a comparatively easy
matter to check the destruction
of these birds some wears ago: it
would be possible now to rescue
them from determination by tax :
ing a little care: but instead of
that the hunters will probably be
allowed to continue their raw
ages until any bird more attrac.
tive than the English sparrow
mas become a mere tradition.
There are some lessons which can
be learned from experience, but
the unfortunate thing is that the
experience does not always hap
pen twice. If a man has climbed
up a place where he ought not to
be, and broken his back, the les
son is not of much value to him,
because he will not climb any
where again. After these birds
have been eXterminated and their
habitat rendered unfit for reStock-
ing, it will not he of much use to
mOrallze over the ruthleSSneSS
and rapacity which caused their
destruction.
The measures which ought to
be taken will vary in different
places. In some parts Of the
country, it would he enough, per
hapS, to impose a small penalty
on hunters shooting birds out of
/ season, I'm Othpr cases if mjwht
be necessary to forbid the shoot
ing of certain species of birds at
all. In places where valuable
birds have become extremely
scarce it might be well to follow
some system of breeding and ar
titicial protection. This would
employ the native hunters who
are now among the birds most
dangerous enemies, and would
instill in them a different idea of
the value of the birds from that
which they now have. In fact,
many of these men are simply
and solely hunters. They
shoot birds and animals, not for
sport. but because they must
make living. If they could be
paid for taking care of the wild
creatures instead of for shooting
them they would, in many cases,
much prefer that employment.
