The FUSION TICKET.

The fusion conventions came to a close
after one of the most exciting contests
in the history of Nevada. Representative
men of the State were in attendance. and
it was solely by their good judgement
that the ticket was nominated without
any serious friction. When 1t was con-
sidered that twenty-eight men constitute
ed the conference committee and they
came to a conclusion that resulted in the
placing of a strong ticket in the field,
there is every reason to congratulate
them on the good work,
The fact that a number of leaders of
the Republican faction were on hand
and took an active part in the
sions. principally with the idea of breed
ing trouble and discord in the hot con-
tests, shows that the opposition fears the
power of the ticket nominated. 1t has
been the prediction of a number of the
leading Republicans. that the two con-
yentions would result in two tickets. and
now that one harmonious ticket has been
nominated, will give them a chance to
figure that the strength of the party has
beeen doubled.
While the fight was bitter in the ex-
treme, and the men in the field were
working night and day for the places
on the ticket, yet in spite of all this con-
t%ention, they have finished the work,
and all parties should now pull for the
election of the ticket from top to bottom.
Many of the members of the party now
In power believe that the election of the
ticket is assured. While there is every
reason to believe that the ticket VIII
meet a victory at the hands of the peo-
pie, yet the fight will prove one of the
bftterest in the history of the State.
The Republicans have perfected their
organization and will place a carefully
selected ticket in the field. If there is any
discord in the ranks of the fusionists,
there will be a serious loss to the party,
which will place the weapo in the hands
of the enemy that it desires. Discord is
the one instrument that they desire, and
every power will be used to breed it.
The fusionists will have to fight every
inch of the ground and it must be a
campaign of vigor and talent to win.
With perfect harmony in the ranks. there
is no reason why the ticket annot be a
winner from top to bottom.-Carson APP

Bryas Tells Story on Himself.

Mr.. Bryan. who has been making
speeches to large audiences IN the East
was asked while in Washington If he *
pected to be a candidate in 1904. He re-
piled tina he had not thought of running
for the Presidency and wanted the party
to line up in support of some loyal Dem
ocrat and elect him. To illustrate the
situation regarding himself. he told this
story:
Not long ago, in a Western town, I
had occasion to get shaved. The colored
felt complicated when he dis
he was shaving a man who had
twice run for the Presidency, and in or

trouble when you were~here last 'How's

and he was called before the union for

The death rate at 40 years of age, ac-
cording to a statement made at the Ma
tional Fraternal Congress yesterday,
shows an increase of 3 per cent over that
standard in the United States for many
years. The author of the figures attri-
buted the increase in death rate in
fraternal societies to a lack of care in
selecting new members. the rivalry for
large membership having caused loose
methods. Did the increase indicate a

SUBURBAN HOMES.
This is the Season When They Are in
Demand

DemanQ.
"When the springtime draweth near the
mind of man runneth toward the suburbs, :
said the real estate dealer. 1T Is really
curious about the migrations of people in
the summer and fall Right now hundreds
of people are running into real estate Of
fees inquiring about suburban homes. Next
fall those same people will be coming back
to these offices inquiring about city houses.
SO it goes. These are the robins Of man
kind. They migrate twice a year. just like
the robins. In the summer they hunt cool
er spots and In the fall they get back to
the city and hunt a snug, warm spot for
winter quarters.
1.-The trouble about these people Is that
real estate men are not overly anxious to
accommodate them. Suburban houses are
getting to be useful and comfortable all
the year round. and we do Dot care to rent
houses just for six or seven months. 1t
does not pay. AS a matter Of fact, 1t is
our desire to find good people who will
take houses both in the city and suburbs
for the entire year. In some Of the more
in houses than In the city, for the rea-
son that when people get comfortably To-
Gated they do not care to change They
cease to rent after awhile and buy the
property they are living In. l know that
there Is not a single available house in
large suburb OF the city, and the only
way a house can be secured there Is by
speaking weeks and months ahead.
II really think that the suburbs of
Washington are SO desirable that the ten
dency is in that direction. Ground Is cheap
enough to be an inducement to buy and
then every Washingtonian has faith In the
increase in value Of all District dirt. Few
men buy either city or suburban property
without expectation that the real estate
will increase in value each year"

When one writes or speaks of song birds

which really sings, such as our thrushas
and mocking birds. Ornithologically. song
bird is used to designate a large group
which has a peculiar set of muscles. These
muscles control and operate the lower
throat and make possible song, although
many birds that do not sing possess these
muscles. But IL Is a noticeable fact that

at the various seasons must be observed

has watched a jaybird during the early

tried to hear something Of bird language
have invariably come to me and said:
But when listen to the birds it simply
sounds like chattering.''
And then l have to explain to them that
they must not expect to train their ears in
the course of single spring afternoon un-
der the trees. Like every other bit of
sense training, it requires time and con-
slant practice to obtain the slight differ

Ways Of the Shrika
The bird whose photograph appears today
is something OF an anomaly. The shrike Is
a song bird. belonging to the great oscine
family, and yet 1t Is more bloodthirsty
than most OF our true birds Of prey. To
watch this handsome gray and black bird
as 1t sits quietly on some high point OF
vantage one would ever suspect that
he was waiting for prey. Suddenly he
launches into a weak, soft song. which Is
quite pleasing. l have frequently heard
this song late in winter. when most Of the
songsters were silent. waiting for the grand
spring awakening. l have never heard the
st:rike sing during the summer months, but
1t may be because it's weak song would not
b. noticed in the grand chorus which swells
all feathered throats at that season.
These birds live exclusively upon insects
and the smaller birds and quadrupeds. The
name butcher Bird which is commonly
used for this shrike, is very appropriate, as
it has a curious habit of impaling it's prey
upon thorns. This habit is exhibited by
both Of the shrikss which are found in this
country. The shrike whose photograph Is
here reproduced is found over the southern
part of the United States. while in the
north it is replaced by the great northern
Shrike.
