calculation, he should say the birds would produce at least twenty-five fiocks of young quail before the next game season. The average size of a flock is twelve, he said, and ordinarily there are two filters in a season. MT. Ferris said that the increase in the number of quail would probably be be- tween thrae and four hundred the first season. The first litter will be pro- duced early in July, and will be in good condition by October. The second lit- ter should be in good condition before the close of the game season.
 The club is negotiating for supply of trout fry for the local streams, which to judge from the reports of anglers who have tried their luck in search of the elusive "speckled beauties this spring, are badly in need of restocking.
 The club deserves the liberal patron age and support of all true sportsmen in it's efforts to propagate and protect the game hereabouts. s.-Stamford Advo- cate.

KANSAS QUAIL LET LOOSE.
Twelve Dozen Birds Liberated at

Twelve Dozen Birds Liberated at the North End of Stanford When the game season comes around next fall there will. in all probability, be q plentiful supply of quail here- abouts as a result of the efforts of the Stamford Gun club, which this week procured and let loose twelve dozen full-grown Kansas quail in different sections of the north end of the town The quail were let go in punches When the birds were freed they flew about to explore their new habitation.
 They appeared to be pleased with the place and glad to be free, judging from their chirping. Quantities of grain were scattered about, and the quail lost no time in feeding on it. The places chosen to let them loose are naturally good feeding spots, and will, it is be- lieved, hold the quail for long time to come.
 The birds were bred in Kansas, where they were captured and shipped here at the order of the Stamford Gun club. There was some delay in getting togeth- CT number sufficient to fill the clubs order, owing to the existence of a law against trapping of quail in Kansas, The birds were, however, in good shape when they reached here, and when let loose soon regained all the animation that their confinement had robbed them of. They were liberated under the per direction of George A. Ferris, sec retary of the club, and Harry Bell, who is an active member

cared nothing for it. His farm sutficed to provide for all his personal wants and for the necess. ties of his military service. He rode his own home-pred horse, had his own homemade saddle, and wore his everyday clothes. The introduction of railroads brought about a complete change in his half-nomadic existence The silver ruble, to which he had previously been indifferent, is now everything to him and regulates ms whole life. It has upset all his tradl- tional habits, obliging him to draw distinct line of separation between his own property and that of his neighbor. The effect of this change has been most prejudicial to him, and all recent ex- periments to improve his condition ap- pear to have failed dismally.

Russell Sage doesn't often openly flg- ure as bear" on stock market prices, but he is talking right out in meeting nowadays. The bulls of course, will say that he is short" of the market, or behind the times Perhaps he Is both, but whatever he is or isn't this is what he says: The longer this financial condition continues, the greater will be the sacrifice in the end. for prices have got to come down. There can be no other way. They must come down. I believe in the old fashioned honest way of doing business, giving men the worth of their money. showing them something of equal value when they are asked to invest. The worst feature of the market to-day is that this reckless ness Is leading to a general expansion of other values beyond those of rail- roads. It is all Of a piece with the South Sea bubble craze, and will end in disaster, if once allowed to affect gen. erai values of the country.

1HE COSSACKS 0F1HE DON.

Few things are what they used to be. Even the Cossacks of the Don are not
 the splendid beings they were. A Rus sian committee was appointed some time ago to investigate the whole sub- ject. The fact appears to be that the burden of military obligations upon the Cossack has been growing heavier and heavier without any corresponding in- crease in his income. In order to pro- vide himself with the regulation equip ment, the young Cossack, or, more fre- quently, his father, has to mortgage, let, or sell his property. The lessee of the land is naturally anxious to get as much as possible out of it in short time The consequence is that it loses much of it's fertility, a circumstance which has proved highly unfavorable to the rearing of cattle, and especially to horse breeding. According to the com mission of inquiry, forty years ago the communes made no special distribution of the land belonging to them The Cossack sowed and reaped where he liked, but confined himself to the re- quirements of his family, the land that over being used for grazing purposes. He did not need money and

THE VISITING CURANS

The Cuban commissioners are ex- pected in Washington to-day, and there is much interest in their visit. They know what they want, if General Por- tuondo, one of the commissioners, speaks for them. He says that ninety- nine per cent of the Cuban people de- sire absolute independence, and that moral peace" with the Americans without the Independence of Cuba is impossible. We should not, he adds, desire free trade with the United States if, the independence of our country were nues to support our government, and we would find it necessary to raise them by customs duties. What we would wish, though, would be spe- cially devised system of tariff duties between the two countries making rates as low as practicable and to the mutual advantage of both countries.
 The commissioners will be well treat ed in Washington, and they will be much impressed with the power and politeness of the United States. But so far as accomplishing any modification of the Platt amendment is concerned, they will have their journey for nothing, for the President will tell them that he Is powerless to change the law in any way and that it must stand until amended or modified by an act of con- prASS .. -..--. ...--. v

It Is now known that the forthcoming census reports will show that the pro- portion of negroes in the country has decreased somewhat during the past ten years as compared with the whites. Instead of a ratio of one to seven, as it was when the last census was taken, the proportion will be nearer one to nine. While the census force has not yet completed the tabulation of the population statistics by color, enough progress has been made to enable the authorities to make an estimate of what the final results will be. Ten years ago out of a total population of 63,O0O, OO0 in round figures, the negroes numbered about 7,50O,000, including all grades of color of that race. During the past de- oade the population of the United States increased 21 per cent, but the relative increase in the whites was much larger the census office predict that the com- pleted figures will show total negro population of about S,5O0,000, a gain for the past ten years of about 1,000000. The gain from 1880 to 1890 was somewhat less than that, amounting to S9o,OOO, or about 13.5 per cent.
 According to this the negro isn't as dangerous to the whites as some fear full ones have thought. Perhaps a full realization of this fact might secure him better treatment.

Recent experiments carried on by railroad officials at Berne with an au- tomatic ticket machine, invented by a Swiss, have given entire satisfaction. The machine is similar to the ordnarv automatic machines, but the glass cases contain the tickets, on which are print ed the names of the stations and the price of the ticket. By dropping in the right amount and pulling a handle the ticket is set free. The machinery is so we'll constructed that an insufficient sum or any base coins will not work the spring. and there is no danger of the purchaser losing the whole amount.

A Hebrew Messianic conversion for

A Hebrew Messianic conversion for the promotion of Christianity among Jews will be held in Boston on May 21 The Rev Dr. A. T. Pierson, of New York city, will preside, and about fifty Hebrew Christians will be present. Two questions will be discussed, namely: Is Hebrew obliged, by the terms of es- sential Christianity in becoming Christian, to abrogate the ritual of Mo- saic Judaism, the Levitical customs and ceremonies? and may a Hebrew who becomes Christian retain and observe the ritual of his fathers, if he will? Has he an option, if he has the prefer ence? A cohcensus of opinion on this subject will be collected and read from professors of Hebrew and students of Hebrew literature in the theological seminaries of the different evangelical denominations and from clergymen in the pastorate.
