EVEN HAWKS HAVE VIRTUES.
The Birds show Strong Parental Love and Wsr on Farmers' Rodent
 Enemies.

When other birds go south in the autumn the hawks and owls are among the few birds left in the north. These, usually looked upon as feathered pests, are really most valuable friends of the farmer. The hawks and owls have been unlucky enough to get bad names and the farmer boys wage war in spite of the fact that they destroy more than enough ground squirrels, gophers and other rodent pests to pay many times for the few chickens they take.
 If farmers would only see this there would be more grain in their cribs and their barns to scare away their fel- lows.
 Wise as an owI"--that saying may have been started in a spirit of sar- casm, but there is great deal of truth in it. It is said that owls make un- usually intelligent pets. Besides, they are perfectly fearless and are affec- tionate when yon have succeeded in winning their affections.
 Hawks have their virtues, too, in spite of their predatory habits. They are strongly attached to their mates, and often widowed bird will live alone for years, plainly mourning for its loss.
 Parental love is highly developed in them. A striking case is reported MinnoGnta WQ c raging, and as it approached tree in which was nest of young fishhawks the old ones lowered over them with cries of distress, and as the tree was wrapped in flames they dashed into the fire and died with their little ones.
 Owls, as well as hawks. go in pairs and have been known to mate for life

TRIUMPH FOR THE NAVY.
Warship Run Guns OF Forts Defend.
inc Newport.


Newport, r. l.. Sept. 6.-Two cruis.
ers and three battle ships Of Admiral
Higginson's fleet ran the guns OF
Forts Adams and Wetherili tonight,
getting within broadside range for all
their guns before they were picked up
by the searchlights of the forts. The
fact that the Brooklyn got to the
mouth Of the harbor before 1t was
picked up by the searchlights is con.
sidered by naval men here to be q
victory for the fleet.
When, afloat and ashore, the can
nonading was at Its height, the scene
was one Of grandeur. The racket
woke up Newport as It was never
aroused before. The gunners in the
forts, after working the big guns for
a few minutes, had to desert them
and quickly manned the secondary
batteries. The rapid-flring guns made
as great din as the big ones, and, IL
anything. made the picture livelier
one. The five vessels kept in almost
under Fort Adams, until within short
range of the torpedo station, and then
they appeared to anchor. The firing
stopped. and It was supposed the great
battle was ended. In half an hour the
ships suddenly steamed out of the
harbor in the same order as coming
in, the Brooklyn leading.

gress, but there is now some question
as to the identity Of the man to be
named as the head of the department.
Mr.. Cortelyou, secretary to the rresi-
dent has been considered all along
as the most likely candidate for Sec
rotary Of the department. His most
active rival has been Congressman
Littauerof New York. The chief rea-
son this bill did not pass at the last
session Of Congress was because Mr..
Littauer was unable to bring to the
leaders of the House the assurance
from the President that he would be
made the first secretary of the new
department.
