WOULD NOT DESERT ITS MATE.


Peculiar Action of n Sea Bird Results in
Its Being Made IA Prisoner.
The British steamship Saxoline,
which entered this port Tuesday
from Cette, France, to load oil for
foreign trade, had peculiar experience
during the voyage.
When the ship was in mid ocean two
large white birds of The salt water
heron species flew toward the masts.
One struck the rigging so hard that its
wing was broken and it fell to the
deck, being unable to fly. The second
mate OF the ship picked the suffering
bird up, gave it the necessary medical
attention and constructed a cage, in
which he made it rs comfortable as
possible.
1t was thought the other bird would
become frightened and fly away. but it
was SO attached to its wounded mate
that it not only remained on the ship
but lowered about the cage which con .
tanned the disabled bird and manifested
SO much affection for it that the cage
was opened and the free bird was per
mitted to enter.
The birds appeared to be content
with this arrangement and were
brought to Wilmington on the ship
Tuesday. The injured bird is i'm
proving and the crew OF the ship have
become so much attached to their new
wards, that it is likely the birds will be
retained ON shipboard permanently,
with the hope of DEMONSTRATING them,
IL possible,
It is decidedly uncommon to fine
such birds so fer out to sea, and The
people on the Saxoline are at loss tt
account for the peculiar circumstance

SPORTING NOTES.

Manager Donovan, Of the st. Louis
baseball club, announces that he has
signed Bernard j. Wefers, the cele.
brated college Splinter for his club.
Wefels will be- substitute outfielder.
Colgan is mere than ordinarily
good umpire. His decisions are
promptly given and generally correct,
though his voice is hardly strong
enough to be distinctly heard in the
stands.
Brooklyn is lamentably weak at third
base, and no doubt Manager Hanlon
regrets that he released Demontreville
to Boston. Sheckard is a good out
fielder, but he appears out of place on
the intield.
The sooner the National League
abolishes that nonsensical foul strike
rule the better. 1t dies not shorten
the gamo much, and tends to weaken
the batting one OF the best features
of baseball.

Some of the most successful business
men in this country make it rule to
dispense with the services Of any man in
their employ, no matter how important
his position may be, as soon as he comes
to regard himself as indispensable.
This may seem harsh aud even unSusi-
nesslike, but if we look into it we shall
find that there is wisdom in this prac~
tice. Experience proves that the moment
a man looks upon himself as absolutely
necessary he usually ceases to exercise
to the fullest extent the faculties which
have helped him to rise to that indispen-
sable point. He becomes arrogant and
dictatorial and his influence in an organi-
cation is bound to be more or less demon
alizing. Many concerns have been seri-
ously embarrassed by the conduct of
managers, superintendent or heads of
departments after they had reached po-
sitions where they thought no one else
could take their places.-Success.

Thomas Zero, ST., aged sixtyfive years,
was murdered last week at Chesuncook.
The coroner's jury says his wife is the
murderer. Chesuncook is a small town
on the west branch of the Penobscot,
thirty miles below Northeast Carry. 1t is
settlement OF about twenty families,
largely of French descent, who have
married and intermarried until relation
ships are badly tangled and many OF the
people are degenerate. Zero sold liquor,
and there have been many bloody rows at
he place. A few years ago a man WAS
shot and killed at Chesuncook in
drunken row. There have been other
shooting and stsbbing ARRAYS. The story
of Gero's murder as learned by the officers
who made the trip there by canoe, is that
on Tuesday of last week there was
drinking bout at Gero's. Mrs. Zero drank
with the rest. After all but one of their
drunken guests had left, a quarrel arose
between Mr.. and Mrs. Zero over the
preparation of meal. In the ARRAY, Mrs.
Zero slashed her husband in the groin,
severing the femoral artery. He bled to
death in few minutes. Mrs. Gero has
! been lodged in the jail at Dover.
