ROOSEVELT AND SCHLEY

President Roosevelt's reply to
the appeal of. Admiral Schley
presents a very careful and OBJ
viously consc entious view of the
Santiago controversy that will
go as far as any similar utterance
could go to remove this sub act
from current discussion to thu
pages of history. AS it embodies
no official action, the paper may
be regarded as expressing only
Mr.. Rooseyelt's personal jadg-
ment. But as he is not only
the commander in chief, but q
man competent to frame an opin-
ion upon naval matters, his sum
mary of the case will carry more
than mere Official weight.
The President does not under-
take a general review Of the find
ings of the court of inquiry. He
says, with obvious justice, that
if Admiral Schley had been gull
ty of any ofenses five weeks or
more before the fight at Santi-
ago, they had been in effect con-
doned when he was not called to
account for them. It was not till
after the fight that Admiral
Sampson accused him of ''repre-
hensible conduct" on a previous
occasion. If there were ground
for this accusation, Admiral
Sampson should not have left
him as the senior officer on the
blockade when he steamed away
on the morning before the bats
tie. The President therefore
holds. in effect, that the Navy
Department. had itself excluded
all this discussion Of the move
ments of Schley's squadron, and
that the technical findings of the
court, whether right Oh wroDg e,
are without historical signif-
canoe.
It is unnecessary to go back OF
the engagement at Santiago, and
with regard to that 5here is nc
need Of controversy. The ques.
ton OF command is not really
vital. Sampson was hardly more
than technically 10 the fight.
Schley was the senior officer ir
the operations, but he practically
exercised no general command
Each captain is entitled to his
own share of the credit, anC
Schley to bis. This share tht
President regards as entirely
praiseworthy, with the exception
of the "loop," upon which h.
puts an unfavorabIe construc
zion. He thinks that the reward
recommended by PresidenS Nc
kinney were proper. All we're en-
titled to grateful recognition,an
no injustice was done in placing
Sampson, as the technical com
, mander, ahead Of Schley, sine
there was ''nothing done in To
battle that warranted unusual re
ward for either" Both men ar
now honcrably retired. There i
nothing more that Can be done
and there remains "tnO excus
l for either side for any furthe
agitation of this unhappy contre
9 versy,"
From this general conclusio
there will be little dissent.

Tillman and M'Laurin Stain
Sanctity of Senate Chamber
With Blood.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 22.-
Washington's birthday was sig.
naliz ed in the United States Sen
ate by a fist fight. The day set
apart by the nation to afford the
American people opportunity to
pay fitting tribute to the memory
of the first President was the
occasion of one of the most sem
sational scenes ever enacted in
the Senate chamber.
The two Senators from South
Carolina were the active partici-
pants in the affair. Mr. Tillman
in the course OF a speech upon
the Philippine tariff bill,
made serious reflections upon
the honor of his colleague. Mr..
McLaurin. In brief, he charged
that MI. McLaurin's vote in the
support of. the ratification of the
treaty of Paris had been cast
through the exercise OF improper
influences. His statement was de-
veloped~ in a colloquy between
Thin and Mr. pooner, ofsWiscon-
sin. Mr.. Tillman at first declined
to mention names, but when the
Wisconsin Senator reminded him
that he owed it to himself, to Che
Senate and to the country to
s'name the man," Mr.. Tillman ia
dictated that he referred to his
colleague from South Carolina.

REMOVING A GROWTH FROM A BIRDS BEAK

Miss Pope accomplishes the same re-
suit by placing the bird in a small box
and placing a bottle of chloroform be-
meath it. The operations are gone
about In the most approved surgical
way. The bird is first washed with
some antiseptic and the instruments
and needles used are all carefully ster-
illzed. The birds are usually held In
the hand during the operation. though
the larger and more powerful ones
are sometimes firmly bound to the OPP
Grating table.
The commonest surgical operation Is
the care of fractured legs and wings.
In nine cases in every ten, according
to the bird specialists, a broken wing
or leg can be saved. The broken leg
Is pulled apart until the two ends OF
the bone come together. when 1t is
covered with splints and tightly ban
daged. In dressing canary birds legs
an ordinary quill toothpick Is often
used for a splint. The quill when

A NEW GAME OFF HOUSE BALL.
A Good Sort of Indoor Fun for These
Wintry Days.

The only thing necessary to play this
new and fascinating game is a light
bounding rubber ball and a wall un-
pierced by windows. Any number of
players can take part. AS each one
misses" the next player takes her
place and so on, or each player may be
provided with a ball. All starting at
the same time, the player who first
fails to catch the ball goes to the foot
of the line. The object of the game.
of course, is to see who can stand at
the head the longest.
Now stand any desired distance from
the wall.
First-Throw the ball against the
wall and catch it. before it bounds.
Second-Throw the ball and before
it descends fling the right arm up and
touch quickly and lightly the right
shoulder.
Third-Do likewise with the left
hand.
Fourth-Repeat with both hands to-
gether.
Fifth-Bring both arms together in
front on a level with the shoulders.
clap the hands smartly together and
fling the arms back wide apart. bring

again catching the ball.
SiXth-Throw the ball up. Putting
entire weight on the left foot, point the
right with toes turned downward in
front of the body--from the front to
the side, then back to position and
catch the ball.
Seventh-Do the same thing with the
left foot.
Eighth-Lift both arms on a level
with the shoulders, palms turned up:
turn palms down, bring arms to the
side and then catch the ball.
Ninth-Stand with the arms at the
sides. Before the ball descends place
the hands on the hips with the thumbs
back, then quickly bring them forward
and catch the ball.
Tenth-As the ball comes toward you
bat it back with the palm of the hand
and catch ii on the rebound.
You will find if you stand a little
heavier on your left foot than on your
right, the right slightly in advance of
the left, your shoulders wide apart and
chin and eyes slightly raised that this
will give your body an easy poise and
wou will have more control over the
various motions and be more easily able
to finish the movements in time to
catch the ball before it decends.

from the end of the finger. Hot baths.
bandages and warm applications are
usually prescribed along with the med
icines. very common practice is to
tie a bird securely on a hot water bag
and cover it with flannel to bring on
perspiration. Most birds respond very
quickly to such treatment.
BY far the most interesting part of
this hospital work is on the surgical
side. An emergency ward equipped
for the most urgent cases is open day
and night. In appearance the operat-
ing room and table is not likely to
frighten the most timid of its patients.
Miss Pope herself acts as stretcher,
bearer. assistant and chief of staff.
The operating table is nothing more
formidable than an artistic dressing
table covered with glistening scalpels,
splints and bandages, chloroform
masks, antseptics and medicines.
The birds are commonly operated
upon without using chioroform. 1t Is
only in cases where considerable cut
ting is to be done or the patient is
particularly restless that it is first
rendered unconscious. Some bird spe-
cialists apply chloroform by saturating
piece of absorbent cotton and hold
ing it closely down over the beak.

long felt want, this sympathetic care
of our pet BIRDS" says Miss Pope. "The
field is unlimited. Every one has
bird, and what other pet is the OBJ
ject of such constant, If ill-advised
kindness? Most people are anxious at
whatever trouble and expense to save
the lives of their birds. The care Of
birds is being taken up at present by
many intelligent people. The successful
bird doctor must have considerable
knowledge of medicine and surgery,

looking equipment of knives, bottles

The bird hospital is an amazingly
well patronized institution. The pet
bird population is large. and as a rule
can well afford the luxury, of medical
attendance. There is no end to the
ailments the household birds are likely
to develop, and accidents requiring
prompt surgical attention are numer-
Gus. In the New York bird hospital,
conducted by Miss Virginia Pope, there
are frequently as many as five hun
bred patients at a time. Their COM
plants vary from slight indisposition
and chronic diseases to fractures do
manding instant attention. The medi-
cal and surgical work is performed by
an experienced, intelligent and SYM
pathetic hand. The death rate is low.
The bird hospital with its five hun
dred patients comprise several wards;
large, light rooms for the convalescents
and small, darkened apartments for
the contagious cases and the patients
requiring rest and quiet. All about the
main wards are ranged the private
wards in great variety. There are
large. airy cages with lofty perches,
and dark boxes with hot water bottles,
mattresses, cotton pillows and warm
flannel coverings. Ordinary boarders
are accommodated here for a fec Of
