CONTINUING THE FIGHT.

The administration at Washington,
smarting under the refusal o. the Sen
ate to confirm Admiral Sampson a
degree higher than Admiral Schlev,
has adOp' ed other M thOds of hOnOring
its favorite. The new scheme is thus
described in a recent able editorial
utterance of the Times-UniOn and Cit
iZen:

grafton of the naval campaign in
Cuban waters during the war with
Spain, will have on one side represen-
tatiOn of the head of Admiral Sampson,
and on the other a bas-relief of the
battleship Oregon. This decision will
be generally criticized as a part of the
persistent effort of the administration
to rob Admiral Schley Of the glory that
is his due, and to give to Admiral
Sampson hOnOrs lat he has not
earned.
Public opinion is nearly all one way
in this SampSOn-Schley controversy. 1t
is so strongly in favor of Admiral
Schley that the administration has
more than once failed to get a Senate
with a large Republican majority tC

NEW FORESTRY COMMISSION,

Washington, July Son the first of |
July the Division of Forestry and three
other scientific divisions of the U. S,
department of Agriculture were to be
advanced to bureaus. This was pro-
vided for by the last session of Con-
gresS, which appropriated for ,ne eX~
penseS of the Bureau of Forestry dur
ing it's first year $185, 440. Inc apprO~
priation for the Division of Forestry
during the year just ended was
$8S,520. For the year 1889 it was
9-8,52O. !
These figures show how rapidly the
forest work Of the Government has ex~
banded of late, and also now we'll il
has commended itself to Congress.
I-ere was a time when the practical
value Of the scientific Investigations
carried on by the Government was not
FULLY under stood, and farmers were
inclined to think that the money spent
on experiment stations and chemical
laboratories was of very little benefit
to them. Now the case is very differ
ent. The improvements in agriculture
due to lie work of the Department Of
| Agriculture have increased the value
of the farm products of the country by
many millions of dollars annually. AS
this kind of work has proved its prac-
! teal utility, Congress has shown it
! self generous toward it. The readi-
ness with which Congress has increaS-
e.. the appropriations for the Division
/ of Forestry is the best evidence that
forestry has proved it's Importance

to a personal request from Editor B.

Association, went to Buffalo to arrange
an outing for the press gang"
1t is now proposed that instead OF
going alone as they have been hereto
fore doing, the editors arrange for a
special train and take with them their
friends. 1t is thought that a rate so low
for the round trip will be secured that
many Floridians will take advantage
of it to visit the exposition.
This is certainly as it should he.
Florida is fairly well represented at the
exposition in the matter of exhibits.
But every other State in the South is
having a special day on which its at
fractions are especially called into
notice and on which its citizenship is
conspicuous for it's attendance.

The man VINO Obeys the laws of the

A sneaking evasion of the law is not
considered honorable by Christian
people, and an open reputation of it
has been adjudged by the courts to be
anarchy. Even if such law is bad,
it is better to obey it until the law

repeal it. That is the most honorable

Throughout the German empire
great fetes were recently held in hon
or of the SOth birthday anniversary of
Pro. Rudolph Virchow, the greatest
scientist perhaps living. And not only
in Germany was the event celebrated.
Here in the United States, in Argen-
tine and distant Australia, in all Of
continental Europe and in England
in South American countries and in
far-off Japan celebrations were held
in honor Of the celebrated physician,
who has added so much to the medi-
cal knowledge of the world.
An authority in treating of Virchow
says: so much has he done, and so
thoroughly has he lone it, that 1t is
difficult for this generation to appre-
bend the full magnitude of his work.
Open a book of medicine, and espe-
cially any volume on pathology, COM
posed, it matters not much where, be-

ever, nearly so often as the seacoast

for people who like to put up a bluff
that they have been further away from

social frauds are a little late in begin
ming their deception this year. owing
to the b-ackwardness of the season. but
today has brought a rush Of business
and the Long Branch and Atlantic City
stamps have been overworked. The
outlook is good for IN unusually large
crop of pretenders who are going to
make their friends think they have
been away this summer. To back them
up in their assertions they are going
to lay in a good supply of tintypes.
For the last two or three seasons peo-
pie who leave New York for a day or
a week or a month of the year have
made a practice of getting their pic
lures taken in every town visited, as
a souvenir of the trip. All this photo
graphing would be expensive II high
class artists we're always %patronized, so
in order to curtail the cost the ambi-
tious travellers look up the tintype
men. This habit of economy has been
a blessing to me as well as to the stay
at-homes. A regular photograph would
bear the name of the artist as well as
the address, and thus make deception
impossible, but most tintypes look
alike, no matter where taken, so all |

BIRDS AND THEIR SONGS
Some Feathered Creatures Are Adopts
in the Art of Ventriloquism.

Some Feathered Creatures Are Adopts
in the Art of Ventriloquism.
Naturalists who have made an es-
pecial study of birds and their habits
declare that many of these creatures
have the gift of ventriloquism highly
developed. They use Their power to a
good effect because by it they are often
enabled to mislead their enemies, al
though o~rnithologists say they do so
unconsciously, because often when
the birds resort to ventriloquism to
throw their pursuers off their track ST.
lence would have served the purpose
much better. The ~pinnated grouse,
or prairie chicken, has this
owe to a remarkable degree, as
its tone when produced but a
few rods from the listener often
has the effect Of a sound originating
nearly agmile distant. The little bird
known as the Maryland yellow throat,
which lives in low, bushy swamps dur
ing the summer. shows considerable
ability as a ventriloquist, and during
the nesting season makes use Of the
power as a protection-though appar-
emily an unnecessary one. for the rest
Of this species is generally so carefully
hidden from sight that it is almost
impossible to find 1t. When a person
approaches the vicinity Of its nest,
though probably within a few feet Of
the intruder, it will throw its voice
back and forth so realistically that 1t is
almost impossible to locate the bird.
Many Of the ground birds have a pc
culiar habit of throwing their voices
upward so that they appear to come
from tree tops. Both the b%lue-winged
and Tennessee warblers, which are
strictly ground birds, constantly do
this, though the best illustration is
hat exemplifsd in the song of the
winter wren.-Chicago Chronicle.

many of them had their sources of in
come cut off and these conditions led
to emigration on an extended scale.
In 1928 3.10O of them came to this
country. settling in New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania and Carolina. The Nc
Kinley family was represented in this
tide Of emigration and settled in York
county, Pa. One of them, David, who
was the great-grandfather OF the late
President, fought in the revolutionary
war. Later he removed to Ohio and
here the father of the late President
was born.
But the Mckinley homestead in Ire
land was not deserted and it continued
in the possession of the family until a
comparatively recent period. In 1898
a member of the family was shot for
his share in the rebellion of that time.
The execution place was the main
square in the town of Coleraine.
The family homestead as it appears
to-day is a plain one-story farmhouse,
with matched root and whitewashed
walls. The interior furnishings are in
dicative of the primitive lives still led
by the people In many parts OF Ireland.
The open fireplace, with pots suspend
ed from the crane; the old spinning
wheel and the churn worked by hand,
these show the prImitiveness Of rural
conditions.

Some Stories Illustrating Boston Cor

Sallie Bruner Houston tells the Smith
County (Kan) Pioneer a curious story
of how she received the news Of the
assassination of Lincoln, Garfield and
Mckinley. She was 4 years old at the
date of the assassination Of Lincoln,
but she remembers that when the news
came to her fathers farmhouse she
leaned up against the big fireplace
and cried,' while her mother wiped
her own eyes with her apron" OF
the assassination of Garfield Mrs.
Houston relates this story: "At that
time we were living on our farm six
miles south of C%oncordia, this state.
Several of the family, including my
self, were sitting in the yard with Bos-
ton Corbett, the man who shot the as
sassin of Lincoln. At that time Cor
bett lived on a farm near us. While
we sat there my father came from
town and brought the news of the
shooting of President Garfield. Every
one who remembers Corbett remem-
bers his impulsive nature. He was
quick as a cat. The news seemed to
electrify him. He jumped to his feet,
saying: I wish l were there We all
knew what he meant There would
have been no trial for GuiteaI. All
who ever knew Boston Corbett knew
that he would nave shot Guiteau OF
the spot had he Deen there. 1t was
about this time that Corbett was ar
rested on complaint of some of his
neighbors for some petty oifense and
taken to C~oncordia for trial before a
justice of the peace. He thought that
he was not getting justice, so he drew
his ever-ready revolver and ordered
them out and thus cleared the court
room. He then mounted his little
black pony and went home. There
was a great deal of talk of having him
rearrested, and several persons went
to his home to do so, but did not have
the courage to do so. AS they always
returned without him, the case was
finally dropped
