HAWKS AND SPARR0wS.
Birds OF Prey Are Fast Driving the
Native sonssters Out of Oar
Parks.

An inquisitive man who was
many hawks Of the smaller sorts
generally known as sparrow hawks
about the city parks asked one Of
the bird sharps for the cause, says
the New York Times. "Sparrows,"
was the prompt reply. His theory
is that the presence of so many
sparrows about the parks brings
here the hawks In search Of sup
ply Of food. They are one Of the
evils that come in the train of the
English sparrow. The latter un-
quesionably number millions, and as
they are easy game for the hawks
the latter throng the parks and live
easily and luxuriously of the little
fellows. Incidentally, too, they also
devour other birds that winter here,
and when the spring brings the sing
ing migrants back, make havoc in
their ranks. just now the hawks
are numerous about Central park,
the Geological garden and In por-
tions of Van Courtlandt park. Keep
ers think the hawks are responsible
in great measure for the lack Of in
crease in the number Of squirrels
that should naturally show in the
parks. They are said to have pc
culiar fondness for the young
rodents and attack them when find
them alone. How to get rid Of the
hawks is question that is puzzling
those who have in mind the keeping
up of the parks ss place for song
birds.

HIS WISH GAINED AT LAST.
Many Years Through which Attorney
General GriGgs waited Patiently
to Address the Supreme Court.

After his great speech on the
colonial test case had been delivered
in the supreme court the other day,
and he had received the congratula.
tions OF many members of the bar
and prominent senator's upon his
success, Attorney General Griggs
told me Of his first visit to the su.
preme court chamber. 1t was years
ago, according to Golfers Weekly,
when he was young and struggling
lawyer. He knew no one in Wash.
ington except the congressman from
his district. This congressman took
him to the supreme courtroom. and
as the slender young lawyer sat and
looked at the nine black-robed jus.
tices and realized that they consti.
tuted the greatest tribunal on earth,
he says he heaved a sigh and said
to himself: Before / die l want the
honor Of standing just once before
that court and addressing II upon
case OF law" Little did the young
lawyer then think that he was go.

only Of addressing the court. but OF
speaking to II as the representative
OF the United States government

In fact, only Indian guidos and

Litter Devised By wife of Capt. Chad
wick of the Navy-Mads By
/ Wemen, Too.

The most practical litter yet con-
structed for carrying the wounded il
the invention OF Mrs Chadwick, the
wife Of the captain who was In COM
mand Of the cruiser New York at the
battle OF Santiago. 1t is designed es-
pecially for use In war. but It is equal
ly convenient for hospital or family
use and it's cost IL slight.
1t Is kind Of hammock chair. and
while It's weight Is only 3it pounds It
will support the heaviest person. The
bearers wear harness Of two leather
straps, one Of which goes over tho
shoulder and the other around the
waist. The shoulder strap Is passed
through broad piece of webbing to
prevent IL from cutting the shoulder Of
the bearer. To the belt strap two
strong rings are attached to which the
carrier Is fastened. A canvas strip
forms the chair.
The bearers hands are left free and
any inequality OF height in the bear
ers Is overcome by adjusting the
length OF the shoulder straps, so that
the waist belts shall be at the same dis
tancs from the ground. The hospital
corps OF the United States army has
pronounced the device the best and
simplest yet used. A woman invented
1t and women manufacture II.

BATTLESHIP MAINE LAUNCHED
at Philadelphia in Presence of an Inn
mense Throng by Miss Mary Anderson, OF
the Famous Preble Family.
(By the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, July 27.-The battleship
Maine, designed to be bigger, stronger
and faster than her namesake, whose
shapeless mass still lies in the harbor
of Havana, was launched from the yards
of the William Cramp Ship and Engine
Building Company. The great hull's
initial dip into the waters of the Della
ware river was success in every way.
One of the largest crowds that has ever
seen warship leave the ways at Cramps
yard was on hand and patriotism ran
wild as the ship left her cradle.
The presence of the immense crowd at
todays christening was largely due to
the fact that the new ship bears The
name of the ill-fated Maine. Kensington,
the great industrial section, wherein the
ship yard is located. took a holiday and
attended the launching. Thousands Of
persons from other parts of the city were
on hand, and as the yard was thrown open
to the public every vantage point in the
confines of the place, swarmed with hu-
manty.
President Mckinley, Secretary of the
Navy Ling. Admiral Dewey, Captain
Sigsbee and other naval dignitaries who
received invitations were unable to at
tend. 1t was the intention to have some
of the survivors lof the Maine witness
the launching, but none was present.
