What You May Kill.

The open season for prairie chick
ems is between the first day of Sep
TENDER and the fifteenth of October;
geese and ducks between the first day
of September and the first day of
May. Snipe and plover are not pro-
tected. Quail, English or Chinese
pheasants or wild swan are protected
until Sept 1, 1905, and after that date
the open season for these birds is the
same as for prairie chickens.

Freeze Their Winter MIX

Cows are scarce in Labrador, be-
cause it is extremely difficult to keep
them in the extremely cold weather.
The natives procure their milk for the
winter and then kill their COWS. The
milk is kept in barrels, where it
freezes and never turns sour through
out the entire season. When one wishes
to use any milk he has simply to 30 to
the barrel and cut out slice.

From Yakutsk the travellers journey
took them 700 miles to Verkoyansk,
thence northeast 1,3003miles to the
town Of Srednikolynisk. E

.sThe traveller bound for the Kolyma
district must take all his provisions in
a frozen state, for food is scarce along
that lonely tract of 1,80O miles: The
reindeer stations are $50 to 200 miles
apart, but shelter huts are located a
shorter intervals. These are little
houses of wood and water in the form
of slabs of ice, but nothing else.
1.-THE suspension difficulties of that
overland journey from Paris to New
York can be realized only by those who
have encountered them.
"From Srednikolynisk our next dash
was 2, 900 miles to the shore of Behring

cold was terrible. At times the ther-

At last the inhospitable seashorc
was reached, and there the entire par

called Whadyluk by Capt. Cottle, who
supplied them with provisions and Of

This offer De Windt declined.
After reaching Cape Nome De Windt

and from there to San Francisco.
Twice before De Windt had failed in
the effort, once being driven back by
unfriendly savage tribes in northern
Siberia, and once turned back by the
war in China.

CANAL BOATMEN STRIKE.
Demand More Money for Transport
tation of Coal

IdL1Ou u SOd1.
Coal shipping firms of the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal were notified a few days
ago by the boatmen engaged in transport
ing coal from Cumberland to this city that
unless they were paid more for their serv-
ices they would institute a strike. The
boatmen were at Cumberland when they
made this announcement, and the shipping
officials at that place Immediately COM
municated with their respective firms To-
Gated In this city and Baltimore, Md. re-
ply was quickly received telling the officials
at Cumberland to adjust matters with the
boatmen.
Several Of the boatmen stated to Star
reporter that they were compelled to ask
for more pay on account of the small car
goes they were hauling, necessitated by the
low water of the Potomac river and the
consequent low water in the canal. They
also said that they intended to ask of the
port during the present condition of the
waterway. One boatman stated that 1t had
taken him nine days to bring cargo of
eighty tons from Cumberland to George
town.
Very little information as to how the
matter was settled can be obtained the
local coal shippers being very reticent on
the subject. Mr.. Henry c. Winship of the
firm Of Winship, Leech & Co. stated that
his company, as an individual firm, had
agreed to allow the boatmen to use the
company's boats free of charge as long as
the canal remained in its present condition
This action gives the boatmen employed by
Mr.. WinShips firm 90 cents ton for haul
Ing coal, an Increase Of Is cents.

IN A PECK OF TROUBLE
Henry M. BENEFITS Cousin Believes Laura
eiggar VIII Surely Land In
Drleon

Laura 'Biggar will get a long term in
prison, says Ira II. Shattuck, Of the Hotel
Nicollet, a cousin of Henry M. Bennett,
the millionaire who is charged with fraud
in connection with the contest over the
will. Miss Bggar yesterday stopped the
search for her, since the recent issuance
of a warrant, by surrendering herself to
the county sheriff at Freehold, N. j. She
explained that since the accusation had
been laid against her she had been living
in New York.
Il was present in court said Mr..
Shattuck, when her attorney, was placed
under arrest in New Jersey for being an
accessory to conspiracy. The court said
at that time that Miss Biggar and her as
sociates would be held to a strict &C
counting. I concluded from what was said
at that time and the facts of the case
that she would certainly get awarded a
term in prison before she got out of the
clutches of the law.
There is not the slightest question in
my mind but that there was a deliberate
conspiracy to defraud Mr.. Benefits
.rightful heirs out Of their share in the
estate
