WITHOUT CONVENTION HALL
Christian Church Committee in Qusndsry
Over Meeting Place.
Will REQUIRE TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS


The meeting Of the general committee OF
The Christian church convention held at
the First Christian church last night
seemed to be principally interested in the
question Of where the convention is to be
held, 50 much 30 IN fact that In his clos
ing remarks Elder II. @. Hill. the new pas
tor OF the church, gently chided those pres
ent for devoting more time 10 the ques-
ton Of the Auditorium than 10 the real
work Of preparing for the convention.
The matter was first mentioned by Chair
man Paine. who, in calling the meeting TO
order, read a number Of Recommendations.
among wh1ch was one calling for the APP
pointznent Of n COMMITTEES 20 meet the Audi
forum directors today and ascertain ex-
aetly what they would do toward providing
a hall for the convention. In explanation
Of this recummeDdatfUn the chairman said
thai he was very much surprised to hear
from Presideuf sanborn that the Auditorium
would not be ready for the convention. but
that be had Immediately notified all par
ties concerned that the convention would
be held in This city anyway and a suitable
hRll provided.
Promise n Contribution
He further said that the president Of the
AUDITORIUM company had promised that the
c01npnny would expend 5000 20 provide a
Temporary structure IN which the conven-
fion could be held, but That that amount
would be insufhcient, and inaemuch Rs the

consider themselves in honor bound TO pro-
vide a meeting place.
After listening TO reports from commit
tees the matter was taken up OF n resoln-
ti0n offered by J. L otferman. which
ztated the position taken by the chair. but
said in addition that the general COMMITTEES
believed that Il was through no fault Of
the auditorium directors that the building
would not be ready on time. II provided
that the matter should be presented to the

THE ENGLISH PHEASANT
The Fortnightly Review.


The pheasant in England, if not exactly
indigenous, Is certainly effectually natu-
rallied; and, though originally from the
Caucasus, may, after thousand or sc
years Of acclimatization, be looked upon
as truly British. Tradition has it that
the pheasant was brought into Europe by
the Argonauts. 1t was probably intro
duced into England by the Romans. It
certainly preceded the Normans. peas

King Harold's bill of fare. Thomas a

BOUNTlES FOR BEASTS
" ANIMALS WITH PRICES ON THEIR HEADS
London Answers.

The French governments bill for wolf
killing in 1883 was over $4,000, 1916 pairs
of ears having been brought in; and even
in 1899 over 81 1900 was paid. The bounty
is given not only for full grown wolves,
but cubs also. Oddly enough, wolves are
renees. most Of those killed being found
in the central provinces and in Alsace-
Lorraine. Last December a pack of six
teen wolves was seen near Metz.
Russia is supposed to be infested by over
a quarter Of a million wolves. In one year
recently 203 Russians were killed by these
creatures, and the damage to live stock
was set at a million and half sterling.
The wolf-hunters, who usually use live
pig as bait, get s2 a head for their bag
from the Russian government, and as the
skins are worth eight or ten shillings
apiece they find their sport very profit
able.
Norway and Sweden pay similar price
for dead wolves, which exist in great num-
bers In the mountains. These countries
also pay about "a each for bears. In
Scandinavia a whole village generally
combines in a bear-hunt, and kill Of
four or five in the day is not uncommon.
India suffers more seriously from wild
animals and reptiles than any other part
Of the world, in spite of the thickness of
It's population The natives are generally
too superstitious or cowardly to war
against the creatures which prey upon
them. Last year 25166 human beings
were killed by snakes and wild animals,
of whom reptiles accounted for 21,9O1.
Over $4,000 cattle were also destroyed.
The Indian government pays reward for
snake. Last year total of e6.550 was
paid out for the deaths of 1915 wild
animals and 10S,3S5 reptiles. Here is the
bill for the district Of Jubbulpore:

A CAREFUL OF UNIFORMS
EMPEROR WILLIAMS EXTENSIVE TRAVELLING WARDROBE

pleases him to greet the officers and men
from the platform of his car in the same
uniform they are wearing. II he crosses
the border OF another country it Is con-
sidered a compliment for him to dress in
the uniform OF the army or navy Of that
country. Hence it is Important to have
his wardrobe car with him on all his
journeys.
Not long ago, however, while making a
trip around the German boundaries, some
thing happened to the trucks which made
it necessary to cut the wardrobe car out
of the train. There was no time to make
a change, and the master of the robes
and the Wallets were commanded to trans
fer it's contents to the most convenient
car they could find and follow by the
next train. By some complications, which
have never been explained, much to the
anxiety and anguish Of the master of the
robes, and his assistants, the car in which
the emperor's clothing had been placed
was shunted ON to side track during the
night, and when they arrived at their des-
tination they were Mortified to find it
missing. Nor could they get any trace OF
it. Messengers and kilograms were sent
in every direction; the railroad system OF
Europe was turned bottom side up, but
the car could not be found. The emperor
had to wear borrowed plumage and make
the best of it.
Some days later the collector of Gus
toms at the boundary reported to his su-
perior officer that a car containing a lot
of unmarked and unclaimed theatrical
properties had arrived at the place and
asked for instructions. This solved the
mystery. The kaiser was glad to recover
his fine garments, but did not enjoy hav-
ing them described as theatrical proper
ties, particularly when his intimate
friends leased him about it.

Two Notable Deaths.
Two notable deaths have occurred with
in the last few weeks. On Nov. /, died
bernhard Getz, the attorney general Of
Norway, only 81 years old. Mr.. Getz,
VINO had previously been professor in
the law department Of Norway, was
practical and scientific jurist of the high
est rank. An original thinker, combining
in remarkable degree scientific thor
oughness with practical wisdom he has
been the prime mover in recent legal re-
formers in Norway. His great work on
the new criminal code has attracted at
tent1on among crirninalists all over Eu-
rope and received hattering recognition
from the greatest authorities in this field.
On Dec. 10 occurred the death of the
commanding officer of the Norwegian
navy, Vice Admiral CT. Won Krogh.
Admiral Won Krogh belonged to family
which for generations has had distin-
guished representatives in the navy. He
was made rear admiral in 1896 and vice
admiral In 1899. He has had charge of the
navy in a period of reorganization and
by his unfailing tact and great personal
popularity, has brought about many need
ed changes with minimum of friction.
The admiral was beloved by all who knew
him, an able officer and true Christian
gentleman. His body was taken from
Christiania to the naval station at
Horton on the battleship Tordenskjo1d,
and buried there to-day with the highest
military honors.

PAINFUL CHRISTMAS CARDS
Modern Answers.


After the battle of Omdurman, and the entry
of Khartoum by the British soldiers the
first thing done was to sieze the treasury Of
the Khalifa. Among the curiosities found
there was a packet of six Christmas cards.
It was not until the European prisoners had
been released that the story of these relics
became known Among these prisoners was
Greek, who had lived in bondage for nearly
ten years. The first Christmas after he was
captured mel-driver brought across the
desert small envelop for him. 1t con-
tatned Christmas card. But the spies of the
Khallfa soon informed him of the incident,
and the Greek was fogged for rresuming to
have in his possession an emblem Of the
Christian faith.
A year later came another card to the
Greek. Again word was brought to the
Mahdi, and a second fifty lashes were ad-
ministered. For six years in succession the
unfortunate Greek Paid for his Christmas
messages with terrible beatings, till he found
means to have the card-sending stopped.

q 1881 dingnes-tha Austrian wild


In 1881 dingoes-the Austrian wild dogs
killed sheep to the estimated value Of
$4,000. But the bounty Of 10 shillings a
heac has been the cause of exterminat-
ing these pestilent beasts for long dis
lance from the coast, There are plenty Of
them still, however, on up-country
ranches, and their destructiveness may be
Judged by the fact that single one of
dozen sheep in a night.
But all other bounty giving fades into
insignifcance compared with the enor-
nous sums spent by New Zealand and
New South Wales in their efforts to cope
with the ever increasing plague of rab-
bits. After vainly trying to fence out the
growing hordes, the various Austrian gov
ernments were forced to offer bounty
for each rabbit killed.
A penny tail was the usual amount
paid. This took effect in New South
Wales in 1883, and since then about 91,-
100000 has been expended by this govern
ment alone. The slaughter may be mag
ined by the fact that in one year ~ ,0O0,-
600 were paid for. sa
The latest animal upon which a gov
eminent war has been declared is the rat.
1t has been proved conclusively that rats
carry plague infection, so many towns all
over the world are offering a penny a
piece for rats tails. Sidney, New South
Wales, is one, and Copenhagen another.
In the latter city the kills the first three
weeks were 6,094, 6,616 and $3.50. The num-
Der has since grown to over 10000 week,
and it is believed that by the end of 1902
rats will be getting scarce in Denmark.

PEOPLE KILLED BY SLEEP

Eminent specialists are just now en-
deaVoring to solve the mystery Of dis
ease known as beri-beri, which seems to
be identical with the sleeping illness" OF
the west coast of Africa. But up to the
present even the greatest physicians have
not been able to diagnose or cure it.
Whole villages of West African negroes
have been known to sleep themselves to
death, and some time ago there was an
outbreak of this same sleeping malady in
a Dublin 1unatic asylum. How this dis
ease came over here remains mys-
terry. q, -.-...
In Sardinia and Sicily another new dis
ease has made it's appearance.
The doctors in these Mediterranean ISL
ands noticed that many Of the natives
showed symptoms of poisoning from eat
ing beans. Curious symptoms Of drowsy
stupor overcame them, and in some cases
people have been seen to fall unconscious
from simply 1nhaling the scent of bean
field In flower. Yet to the average person
there Is nothing poisonous about beans.
A fortune awaits the doctor who will
