GOVERNOR SIGNS MANY BILLS.
Primary Bill Causes Much Debate
A Fight on Congressional Reap
pOrtiOnment.

Tallahassee, Fla, April S0.-The session
yesterday was taken up mostly with the
discussion of an appropriation of $500 to
pay the expenses of the circuit judges
which brought forth lively debate but was
finally made a special order for next
Thursday.
The new primary bill was taken up Sec
ton by section. This is one of the most
important political measures yet begun.
Eight sections were discussed and passed.
1t is the opinion of the wizards that the
measure will finally be killed in the Sen
ate.
The Governor to-day signed more bins
than at all previous times put together.
The Committee on judiciary will report
favorably on bill which provides for the
election of six additional judges to be
appointed by the Governor to assist the
Supreme Court.
The committee for congressional redis-
trictaton failed to have a quorum present,
but will meet again tomorrow when, it
is said, there will be two reports present
ed a minority and a majority report, as
no agreement is likely to be reached.

but let us at least pay
them the homage of thorough
appreciation of their work After all,
any reward that we could give them
would be but little compared to the
priceless reward Of doing so well the work
itself; for each of these two men has
drawn the highest prize we have to Of
fer on this earth-the prize of doing in
the best possible way a service that is of
vital Importance to mankind.
In developing these islands it is we'll to
keep steadily in mind that business is one
of the great levers of civilization. 1t is
immensely to the interest of the people
of the islands that their resources should
be developed and therefore it is to their
interests even more than to ours that our
citizens should develop their industries
The further fact that it is our duty to
see that the development takes place I'M
der conditions so carefully guarded that
no wrong may come to the islanders,
must not blind us to the first great fact,
which is the need of the development
Now, in conclusion, let me ask you 10
judge the future by the past. Look back
over the last three years and see what
we have done Think how infinitely bet
ter off Cuba and the Philippines are, be-
cause of the policy upon which this re-
public has acted. Mankind is our debtor
it has raised our national character to
higher standard than ever before. We
have made mistakes, of course; let us
profit by them and avoid them hereafter
but at home and abroad let Us continue on
the course we have marked out. We
talk much, and on the whole we
talk truly of the future great
ness of our people. Let us see
to it that our deeds make good our words,
that we take advantage of our manifold
and do without fiinching
our manifold duties. We are not to be ex-
cused If we fail to do all that Is required
of a great nation. standing as one of the
great powers of the earth; and least of all
are we to be excused If we fail to keep
I'm mind the principles that underlie all
real greatness-the principles of justice
and of mercy-of courage and of honesty,
that go to make up a national record of
clean living and true manliness.

A Disastrous Experience.

| Some time ago the farmers of Penn
sylvania induced the Legislature of
that State to place bounty on the
heads of hawks and owls as a means Of
projecting barnyard fowls, and in the
systematic hunt that followed more
than 100000 of these pests were killed.
Now the ornithologist Of The United
States department of agriculture esti-
mates that the destruction ot so mauy
Of these birds has resulted in a loss to
Pennsylvania farmers in year and >
half of not less than $5, ,OCO, 900. The
explanation given of this surprising
statement is that, in the absence Of
the owls and hawks, Geld mice and
other small rodents, formerly preyed
upon and kept limited By these
slaughtered birds, multiplied smazine.
ly and did far more damage to the
crops than under previous cnnd;-
tions.
1t is worth while for the farmers ia
all parts of the country to know of
and reflect upon the disastrous expert
mcnt. Evidently owls, hawks, and
many other socalled pests are bless
ings in disguise. They may vary their
diet with good fat barnyard fowl
now and then, but ere mostly perform
ing good service by prcying upon
crop-destroyers .of various kinds.
The Pennsylvania experiment is also
a warning to Legislators that they
need 10 nave comprehensive knowl-
edge Of all forms of life and their uses
before they attempt to interfere with
natures plans. The time will come
perhaps when, guided by completer
knowledge of natures economy, we
shall kill only for food, except in the
case OF poisonous reptiles. Even the
despised earthworms are said to be
constantly fitting the soil for vegeta-
tion.
AS the Philadelphia Record re-
marks, there is great need Of more
agricultural colleges and Of broader
education on these lines. Macon

Which Twin is Heir to Estate?

GENEVA, n. T., Jan If som,
one will come here and discover which
of the infant twin sons of the late
Jarod Marks is the elder be will re
lleve distracted mothcr, some puz-
zled executors and lawyers and g
much-alarmed nurse.
The latter thought. hen the twins
got their first peep at the big world q
few days ago, that she had located q
distinguishing mark on the elder OF
the twain. But when the law of in
hefitancc got her ia corner she was
nearly paralyzed to discover that the
youngster was marked in identically
the same manner.
Marks was farmer near Malvern
Hill, few miles from here. He died
week ago, leaving an estate Of about
500, 900. In his will, after making
specific bcquests to relatives. he named
his eldest son, then unborn, resi-
duary lcgatec. His purpose was to
entail his estate under the law SO that
it should descend by primo geniture
in the male line.
Fclr days after Marks death Mrs.
Marks gave birth 20 the twin sons.
On the arrival Of No. the nurse care
fully noted the presence of small
but wcll-defned mole on his shoulder.
Satificd that she could thus identify
the elder when called upon to do, she
paid little attention to No. 2.
When the will was read end .ho cH
tailment clause discovered the nurse
was asked to identify the elder of the
twins, and it was then she found to
her CONSERVATION that each youngster
was the owner Of mole located on the
same spot on each shoulder.
The puzzle might find solution in
the courts were it not for clause in
the will, which provides that in case
of gay contest Of the document, the
contestor shall be disinherited, and
his portion of the estate given to GER
tain charitable institutions in Roches-
ter. Lawyers here arc of the opinion
that, failing to identify the elder of
the twins, the only recourse for the
heirs is to seek to have the will de-
clarcd invalid. 1t is said that this
course will be taken in the case.
