Leg Weakness.

Seemingly there are many causes OF
what is commonly known as leg weak
less in fowls. 1t may be due to over
feeding OF rich, fattening foods, poorly
constructed brooders CT hereditary
weakness. The two former auses may
he easily removed. but the latter never.
When fowls are constitutionally weak
there Is nothing short of complete ex-
termination of the breed that will bring
vigor to the flock. Parent stock must
possess 4 robust constitution in order
to transmit vigor to their offspring,
and no amount of care or food will
ever bring the desired results.
When fowls have shown that their
vigor has been impaired they should at
once be disposed of. All further eff
forts at rebuilding a strong strain will
be in vain. The chicks will be dwarfs,
and a large percentage will die before
they reach maturity. Those that sur
vive will be subject to leg weakness,
and the cost of keeping such fowls will
amount to more than they are worth.

FINDINGS IN STARKE CASE
Action of Court Martial Contained in
Letter Mailed Him Last Night

john w. Starke. second lieutenant,
Company B, Seventeen Regiment, against
whom charges were preferred May 30th
by Sergeant Mathews. of the same COM
pany and who was subsequently tried
before a court-martial, will know the ver-
dict OF this court this morning when he
reads his mail. A letter sent him from
Captain Bossieux, adjutant Of the Sew
entieth Regiment, informing him of the
findings of the court, will reach him
early to-day. Unless he feels disposed to
give out the verdict, it may be kept a
secret for a week or more.
The trial by court-nartal of Lieuten-
ant Starke, who is a well known man OF
the city and popular with a large major
ity OF the boys Of the regiment, has
caused no little amount of interest, and
the outcome of the trial has been eagerly
awaited. Mr.. Starke, when seen about the
case, did not appear worried over the
trial at all.
The findings of the court cannot posi-
bly, be told until the Governor gives it
out or Lieutenant Starkc sees fit to do so.
The secrecy that has been maintained
IN regard to the findings has led to the
belief that q, Jail sentence has been i'm
posed. but the fact that the action of the
court has been mailed Lieutenant Starke
and that he has not been placed under
arrest creates an impression that an ap-
peal to the Governor may precede the
carrying out of the sentence.

ISneciaI Dispatch to The Times)


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2-Of the
many consultations that are now either
forming or being ed about. that which
embraces the union of the Commercial
Cable and Postal Telegraph Company.
the Western Union and the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company is the
most gigantic.
For two weeks reports have been per-
sistent in financial circles that these three
great concerns We're to be Joined. The ad-
vance made in the price of the Western
Union stock, even in spit eof the fact that
it has received Il severe blow from the
Pennsylvania Railroad. has lent color to
these conjectures. The Western Union
has a capital stock of 500 coo and a
bonded Indebtedness of many millions
more The Commercial Co. capital stock
is Sl5.0bO00D and the capital stock of the
American Telephone Co. is $50. 900.
The amount Of money to be saved by
a consolidation would be enormous. A
large number of offices of the rival tele-
graph companies are now situated virtu-
ally side by side. The combination would
abolish one office. And similar saving
would be made In telephone pay stations.
One Office would suffice in many instances
where now there are three. In addition
to great savings in real estate rentals
there would be an economy in wire where
the rival companies have invaded the
same territory. The belief is that If the
deal goes through a new avoiding company
Will be organized, with a capital stock
of perhaps S5eO0H0,000 which will take
over all the stock Of the three existing
companies
