SOME SNAKE-KILLING BIRDS.
PIucky "Road-Runners" in the
Bronx Park.

From the New. York Evening Post.
In the bird house of the Bronx
Geological Park are two birds of spe
cies not often seen in captivity, and
known as road-runners or chaparral
cocks. Their scientific name, Geococey,
is the best definition, for they are lit
orally ground cuckoos. Their home is
in the West among the mesquit and
cactus plants, and they resemble their
sandy environment in their brownish-
white plumage, marked with darker
streaks. They have long, hooked beaks
and tails which are nearly as long as
their bodies, and which by slow or
quick jerks plainly reflect the state or
| mind of the birds. A noticeable fea-
| ture is a bare patch of skin near the
| eye, blue and orange in color. Long
feathers on the head can be erected.
| forming a prominent crest, and the
cuckoo-like arrangement of the toes
| two in front and two behind-completes
their appearance.
The road-runners are very active.
running swiftly on the sandy floor of
their cage, or leaping without an eff
fort to a branch then going from limb
to limb, ladder like, to the top of their
perch, and diving headlong off to the
ground. Their legs and feet seem to
contain springs, so lightly do they leap.
No note or call has been heard since
they have been in captivity. Their
food consists chiefly of chopped meat
and their hooked beaks and occasional
murderous attempts to get at small
birds in adjoining cages suggested that
a sparrow meal would be welcome. One
was accordingly given them, and by
dint of much shaking the sparrow was
denuded of almost every feather, but
no attempt was made to eat it.
Road-runners are said, in their ma
tive haunts, to feed upon, or at least
KILL various species, of snakes. even
rattlesnakes, and in fact they get their
name of snake-killer from this sup
posed habit Not long ago. to test their
reputation, a large garter-snake was
used, and the effect on the different
birds was markedly different. Even
carrying it past the cages of small
birds threw them into great commo-
ton, and when allowed to wriggle for
a moment in a cage with four mag
pies, the snake proved to be source of
great fear to them. They chung to the
top of the wires of the cage, palpitat-
ing with fright. The snake was then
placed in the road-runner's cage, and
met with a very different reception.
The two birds slowly approached the
reptile from opposite sides, holding
themselves with braced legs far apart.

A delegate from Blackburn was

President Bowerman to-day devoted
the principal part of his address to
this topic. declaring that union funds
were threatened with establishment
and that the position was intolerable.
He said the Parliamentary Committee
favored an alteration of the consttu-
lions of the unions. with the object Of
minimizing their liability to action.
The Chronicle to-day supports this
view. maintaining that no association
of workingmen can long stand against
such litigation, and that if the decs-
ion regarding picketing is final then
any unscrupulous capitalist will have
his employees at his mercy, and "the
working classes will sink back into an
unorganized and impotent crowd"

Mr.. Campbell discussed the matter
entirely from a party standpoint and
said that unless the pledge made at
Norfolk was carried out, the Demo-

Judge Marshall of Craig, who said
he was suffering too much physical

UNION MEMBERS JARRED.
Return and No Questions Asked, the
Promise Not FULFILLED.


Columbia. S. c., Sept. S-The strike
of the operatives in the Olympia,
CRANKY and Richland cotton mills is
still on. The textile union has been in
itiating new members each night and
as result the mills have had their
force reduced from some 100 to about
200 operatives.
OF the operatives who are still at
work fully half the number are chill
dren.
A settlement seemed certain last
night, as the directors of the mills
gave to the operatives through media
tors, assurances that all operatives
would be reinstated in the mills this
morning and no questions would pe
asked them as to whether they were
unionists or not. This proposition was
accepted by the union last night as it
contained all that the strikers had ask
ed for.
This morning the operatives did as
they had agreed and returned to the
mills, but were not allowed to remain
unless they would abjure the union, the
same condition which President w. B.
Smith-Whaley had laid down a week
ago. AS they refsed this the opera
tives were again locked out. AT a
meeting of the union tonight it was
resolved unanimously that the direc-
tors or management would have to put
their proposition in black and white
before the OnPratiVPS wnuld in any
way consider it.
The operatives declare that positions
and transportation have been Offered
them in other mills in South Carolina
and that they will begin moving away
Immediately.

REPORT NOT CHEERING.
Weather Conditions Not Favorable
to Cotton and Corn.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The weather
bureaus general summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
While the weather conditions of the
week ending Sept. 2, 1901, have been
generally favorable in a majority of
districts, heavy rains lin some places
excessively, have injured crops and re-
tarded work in portions of the South
Atlantic and Gulf states, and hot, dry
weather has been unfavorable in the
Missouri and. Upper Mississippi valleys
and on the North Pacific coast Elk
IRENE heat and drought in localities of
Oklahoma and Texas have also been
very detrimental to crops.
Late corn continues to show improve
ment, although it was injured by
drought and heat in portions of Kan
sas; has suffered further decline in
Missouri and needs rain in Nebraska.
1t has suffered injury by floods on low
lands in Tennessee. Reports indicate
that the bulk of the late corn will be
safe from injury from frost by Sept Is
to 20, but that some very late fields will
require until Oct. / to fully mature the
crop.
Another generally unfavorable week
for cotton. Continued complaints of
rust and shedding are received from
the greater portion of the eastern and
central sections of the cotton belt. while
oklahoma and Arkansas report injury
from premature opening. In Texas the
early cotton continues to open and
is being rapidly picked, but
the late crop is greatly
deteriorated and in a criticalN state,
with complaints of rust and shedding.
Picking. while retarded in Georgia and
portions of Florida, is in progress in
nearly all sections, and with favorable
weather will soon be general.
Very favorable reports concerning
tobacco are received from all sections
except Maryland, where 1t is not curing
satisfactorily, and Virginia, where the
yield is variable. Cutting is general
and the bulk of the crop is in shed in
Wisconsin.
