Not a Good Smeller.

 A newspaper describing Blind Toms mental perceptiveness, says he has the sense of smell as keen as an animals. This is to be doubted. When Blind Tom was in Mobile lately a magnolia flower was presented to him and he was asked what the object was. After some hesitation, he said it was flower Then, being asked what sort of flower, he smelled it carefully for some time. and answered, "a rose"

Birmingham Ledger.
 The Montgomery Advertiser has some wise words to say about jury fixers. It is an evil that does harm two ways. It corrupts the men who are guilty of it. and it makes men willing to do away with the strongest safe guard to personal rights. That man shall be tried by his neighbors, who feel as he feels and who see things from his point of view, is the greatest of human institutions. and ought to be the last one taken oway.

SHOOTING BY OFFICERS.


 A decision which will and ought to be of interest to policemen and other officers has just been handed down by the judge of Philadelphia court. In this case two officers fired on two men who refused to halt when called on and one of the men was killeds On the trial of the policemen they entered a plea that they were only guilty of involun- tary manslaughter, having acted un- der the belief that they had a right to shoot. On this plea the judge said:
 A policeman cant shoot a man simply because he can't reach him any other way, and you had no right to fire under the circumstances. You are given fire- arms for your own protection, and in some cases may be justified in shooting a prisoner. but he must be prisoner, and must be attacking you or trying to e. cape. Under ordinary circumstances you have no right to shoot. The court appre ciates the danger which an officer h; at times required to face. but that does not give him the right to fire upon a criminal or supposed criminal in an effort to ar- rest him.
 It will be noted that the judge does not admit that an officer has right sO ohOcs CNCh dit WHO had been actually in custody, going no further than to say that an officer 'in some cases may be justified in shoot ing" thus leaving the impression that even a fleeing prisoner must not be shot down merely because he is trying to escape.
 This judicial dictum is sound sense whether it will be universally accepted as good law or not. Under our con- mon law every man is presumed to be innocent until he is proven guilty, and the fact that a supposed wrong-doer runs when ordered to surrender is cer- tainly no excuse for killing him. We do not now remember whether the courts of this State have judicially set- tied the right of an officer to shoot an escaping prisoner or suspect. but it ought to be done, and policemen and others should know when they have or have not authority to take or hazard the life of another,

 The possible result of the course pur- sued might have been to spread this fearful and horrible disease all over the country Whatever opinions medi- cal scientists and practitioners may have of the means or methods by which the disease is transmitted from one lo~ cality to another there is no doubt of the fact that it is a disease which spreads. and that it is a solemn duty which the officials of one city or State owe to the rest of the country to take such steps as will be most effectual in stamping out or confining the pest to one locality. And it is equally the duty of the officials to let the truth be observed in other localities

Either way we look at 1t the facts are not creditable to San Fran cisco. not just to the rest of the coun- try and not by any means good poli- cy.

would utter it's almost human cry as 1t was
driven from its lair. A lion would threat
eningly growl as it sought safety in some
gulch. But all the game was kept moving
toward the center. No less than fifty lions
and twenty grizzlies were killed while try
ing to break through the lines. Dozens of
wildcats, deity clinging to branches of
trees, were picked off by the marksmen.
The center OF the roundup was a box
canon with almost perpendicular cliffs sur
rounding it, When the little army of sharp
shooters gathered about 1t they beheld more
than two hundred beasts corralled. Snap
ping, snarlng, and ready to meet their hui
man foes in open battle, il was a splendid
sight.
There were scores Of close conflicts as the
terrified and angered beasts attempted to
escape. Four Indians were fearfully man
gied by a grizzly. One Indian was killed
by an embrace of the bear, which further
satisfied its anger by almost severing the
head from the body with a sweep Of the
mighty paw. Antonio Hermo, chief of the
tribe received fatal wounds. One cowboy
had his right arm fearfully lacerated by a
wildcat which sprang at him as he fired.
The beast died at his feet, bullet having
penetrated vital spot
hunters not one escaped injuries and six
were killed at the finish. The final count
showed nineteen dead mountain lions. seven
grizzlies. two lynx, five wildcats and more
than one hundred coyotes and gray wolves.

PELICAN DAYS IN MISSOURI.
Queer Birds Gather in st. Charlie
County in Monster FlOcks.

Queer Birds Gather in St. Charles
County in Monster Flocks.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
There are great sights for bird lovers at
the lakes of st. Charles county, Missouri,
these spring days. The peicans are pass
ing.
The pelican Is the largest of all the MI
gratory birds Of Missouri and the Missis-
sippi valley. Full grown, he is as large as
a big turkey, but for all his bulk he is not
physically or mentally awkward. He can
catch fish with all the cunning of men,
and he Is strong on his wings as a wild
goose and skillful at circling to great
heights as an eagle.
The pelican Is not known as a Missouri
bird. but he visits the state every fall and
spring on his migratory trips between the
north and. south, and 1t is unlikely there
Is another place in the United States where
the big bird is seen in greater numbers
than he may be seen at this season In the
lake district between the lower Missouri
and Mississippi rivers
From Marie Temps Claire, thirty miles
above ST. Louis. up the Missouri point to
Ling's lake, forty miles above, there is a
chain of prairie lakes In which the pelican
delights He can fish in their shallow wat
ers and roost on their grassy shores, and
every spring and autumn he visits these
places, oftentimes coming In great focks
of many thousand birds. Fifteen miles
above ST. Louis is a turn in the Missouri
river known as Pehcan bend. 1t Is so
named for the pelicans which stop there
twice year and fill the day with mis- noisy
fishing.
The big-throated fisher is no ordinary
bird He is bright. If he were not he
would have become extinct long ago, for
the poorest marksman could hit pelican
If he got within range of it, and the fields
are filled with hunters. But pelican is
seldom killed. He flies high and does his
ground work In isolated places. He knows

BIG GAME ROUNDED UP.
Scout MOntGOmery's Account of q
Great Hunt in Southern Arizona

Great Hunt in Southern Arizona
From the Denver Times.
Trophies of the greatest wild game hunt
ever held in Arizona are in Denver. Charley
Montgomery, the famous Arizona scout and
hunter expects to sell the pelts of noun
tain lions, grizzlies and other game killed
in the hunt to Denver taXidermiSts Mr..
Montgomery won his spurs as a scout in the
campaign of General Crook against the
Apaches He is famous all over the south
west as scout and hunter. The element OF
fear was omitted from his makeup.
Colin Cameron's ranch in Pima and Co
chise counties, Arizona, is one of the largest
in the southwest. 1t is stocked with the
famed San Rafael herd of Herefords, the
only herd of pure-bred stock in the south
west The herd has been ranged in Pima
county, chiefly, for several years past. Due
to the light rainfall Of the past two years
the ranges of Pima county were deserted
last year for those of Cochise. large
area that has generally been covered with
herds of the big stock growers was given
over once again to wild animals which null
tiplied with astonishing rapidity: Mountain
lions, lynx, grizzly bear, wildcats and
wolves became more numerous than ever
before. Driven from the ranches to the
north and east, they found refuge In the
broken country of Pima county. Free from
the slaughter of cowpunchers and with the
appetites whetted by scant supply of
food. the beasts became ferocious.
The past winter more rain has fallen over
southern Arizona than usual, and the de-
pleted ranges again are rich with verdure.
Colin Cameron ordered his foreman to drive
the Hereford herds back to the Pima coun-
ty ranges. Reports came to him a few days
ago that, despite the watchfulness of his
cowboys, the wild animals were doing fear
full destruction. Calves were killed by the
lions in daylight and grown animals were
killed or manned by the ferocious beasts.
Charley Montgomery was engaged to ex-
terminate the animals that had been raid
ing the herds. He organized his force by
employing 100 Pima Indians for big
roundup of the varmints. Early in the
morning the Indians, reinforced by score
OF cowboys, surrounded district five miles
square. The point selected was In the foot
hills Of the Chiricahua range, where the
greatest havoc had been wrought.

Our miles of railroad track exceed by
more than 10000 all the tracks of Eu-
rope.
The Dominion of Canada has granted
SIS, SS4, 557 and 80, 725, 1870 acres of land
TO railways.
More than 100000 passengers a
year so through the North Union and
South Union stations in Boston.
In most European railways the prin-
cipal difference between second class
and first class lies in the color of the
seat cushions, first class being usually
red, second class gray.
The average cost of the body Of n
modern long electric car is $4,000, the
average price of a set of double trucks
for such car is 5000, and the average
cost of the motor is $500, making the
total cost of the car 81, 100.
Some of the Austrian railways have
followed the German custom of selling
numbered seats in the cars of fast
trains, both first and second class. An
extra charge of from about 20 to so
cents is made for these seats, according
to distance.

wHY rnEY FRET.

For some reason we notice that the
women do not take as kindly to the
work incident to the care of their
homes as men do to the work of pro-
viding for their families. For in
stance, there will be ten times as much
kicking and jawing about washing
the dishes and the like among a
lot Of girls as there will be among
boys who have much dirtier work to
do in caring for the stock on the farm.
Men put more enthusiasm into their
work, no matter if it be hard, drudg-
ing and every way unpleasant, while
so many good women seemingly resent
! the fate which compels them to per-
form the drudgery of the home. Why
cannot women accept their limitations,
and invest homemaking and home
keeping with the same enthusiasm that
men put into their business? One rea-
son IS that so few girls are ever taught
how to care for a home in a business
like and intelligent manner and so
work all their lives at disadvantage,
doing work in the hardest way and
ignoring hundred economies and
methods which would make their work
easier and more pleasant. We will
put it this way the average Amer
lean girl is allowed too much liberty, is
not sensibly and practically trained and
is taught that the chief end Of her ex-
istence is to secure some man who
will take care Of her and provide for all
her wants. Reform on these lines Is
needed not only for the sake Of the
woman herself. but for the sake Of her
husband and children.
