A GREAT lENTERPRIsE.
Millions of Dollars for Educational
 Purposes

Millions of Dollars for Educational
 Purposes.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. II. It has just become known that the bill flor the incorporation of a general educa- tional board" which recently passed the house of representatives, is intend ed to pave the way for the establish ment of an educational center of ex- tensiye proportions in this city. The measure was introduced at the instance of John D. Rockefeller and other per sons of wealth, who, it now develops, intend to create fund to aid existing schools and colleges without any re- strictions as to the age, sex or color of attendants.
 The measure also is without limita- ton as to the section of country in which the schools shall be located, but it is known that it is the especial de sire of the promoters of the undertak- ing to improve educational facilities of the south, including those for the i'm provement of colored youth. There is no intention of building up an educa- tional institution at any place. The headquarters and offices of the corpo- ration will be located in Washington.
 No definite figures can be given by any one here as to the amount to be invested but it is reported that the bill was introduced for the purpose of giv- ing John D. Rockefeller an opportunity of making a Christmas gift to the American people in the form of great fund for educational purposes, which, E it is said, will exceed in munifcence even Andrew Carnegie's $10,000,000 endowment of the institution which bears n45 name. The names of other wealthy men who will join him in the enterprise have not been made public.
 The incorporators named in the act are the following we'll known educa- tors: Daniel c. Gilman, George Poster Peabody, Morris K. Jesup, Robert c. Ogden, William II. Baldwin, Jr.; Jabez L. M. Curry, Frederick T. Gates, Wal ter H. Page and Albert Shaw.
 The understanding here is that the institution will be put into shape for business soon after the bill receives the presidents signature.

FASTEST BIRD ON WING.
It Comes to Rapidity oR Flight.

I never see a duck hawk but that my thoughts go back to the times when this was the most valued bird in the World-the favorite of kings "a gift for an emperor, says writer in tie Boston Herald. And well it deserves the high place which it held, for of the many birds used in the ancient sport of falconry, the duck hawk or peregrine falcon was the swiftest, the most savage and the most courageous of them all. The sport is now practically obsolete, but for thousands of years it was one of the principal amusements of the better classes throughout Europe ana Asia.
 Nowhere did it take deeper root it was conducted on grand scale and at enormous expense. Some of the nobility kept falcons as race horses are kept to-day, regardless of cost, paying fabulous prices for celebrated birds, and maintaining large staffs of skilled falconers. Men carried falcons upon their gloyed wrists in those days as a matter of
 
 course. and thought no more of it than they would of carrying walk ing sticks to-day, and lady going over 50 short journey would be al most sure to carry hawk of some kind.
 Froissert tells us that when Ed ward III. invaded France he took so falconers on horseback, who had charge of his hawks, and every day he either hunted or hawled, as he was disposed.''
 Until the reign of King John only people of high rank and power were allowed to indulge in this royal sport, and many were the laws which pro- tected the hawks and their nests Death was at one time the penalty for stealing the eggs of the falcon. Among the important privileges wrested from John was the forest charter, by virtue of which all free men were allowed to fly their own hawks and keep their own heron ries on the banks of their own rivers. But still it remained a felony to steal a falcon or it's eggs, and free man was liable to imprisonment for "a year and day. for robbing a falcons nest in his own woods.

INVENTOR OF THE BATON.
How It Caused the Death of the Man Who First Introducea the Band
 Leaders Wand.

The inventor of the baton has been discovered. According to the investi- gations of Frenchman the credit be- longs to Lully, the composer, who eventually had cause to regret his in- vention.
 Before he adopted tke baton, con ductors were in the habit of pounding on the floor with their feet or clapping their hands to mark the time. Lully found it wearisome to koYp his foot constantly in motion, and 90 used a stick to strike the floor and beat time. He used pole six feet long. One day he brought down the pole with such force that it struck his foot and made a deep wound He paid no attention to the matter. The wound grew worse and ultimately caused his death
 After his time conductors tried more and more to improve the baton and it was ultimately brought to it's present form.

SECONDHAND FOOD BARRED.
LenvinEs of Rich Mems Banquets Must Not Be Eaten by the
 Poor of Paris.

''What is one mans meat is another's poison" is proverb just now borne out in literal fact by the police raid upon the arelquins of Paris, reports a London paper.
 The arelquins are the keepers of small restaurants at the market, whose supplies are provided from the broken remains of repasts at different fash fonable restaurants.
 The proprietor takes each morning tour of the fashionable quarters and by paying small amount to different maitres d'hotel he has the privilege of selecting menu for his house from what is left of a swell dinner the day before. This he seryes up to his cus- toners for two cents and the latter have the privilege of eating what the aristocrats had set before them.
 The elegance of the courses, how ever, iE outweighed by their unwhole- some effects. So many maladies are laid at the door of these secondhand feasts that the police have undertaken to protect the public stomach from pos sible indiscretionE. The arelquinS will soon be a picturesque feature of the past, for as their licenses expire they will fade from existence.

Secretary Wilson Wants an Appro-
 priation to Fight Cattle Plague.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson appeared before the house committee on agriculture to explain the urgent necessity of an emer- gency appropriation to enable his de- partment to stamp out the foot and mouth disease now prevalent in some of the New England states.
 Mir. Wilson advised the committee of conditions in the quarantined New Eng land states and said it had been found necessary to kill all infected cattle and he had ordered their slaughter. He es- timated that it would cost about $700,- GOO to stamp out the disease, arrange meI1ts having been made with the state authorities to pay 70 per cent of the val ue of the cattle killed.
 The committee also was asked to se- cure Legislation which will give the sec retary of agriculture authority, after an inspection of live stock, to give certifi- cate to- the shipper which will permit of the transportation from one state to another and through states without any further inspection sby state authorities. By recent decision of the supreme court cattle may be stopped at any state line, it " explained, thus af. fording serioIs Interference to inter- state commerce in cattle.

Startling Testimony Before Strike
 Arbitration Board.
 SCRANTON Pa., Dec. 1.-The most interesting if n.at,important testi- mony brought out at yesterdays ses- sioas of the coal strike commission was to the effect that an alleged at tempt was made by a former mine foreman to bribe two presidents of To- cal unions of the miners to have ten men in each local use taeir influence to have resolution passed sending the men to work, thus making a serious break in the solid ranks of the strik- CTS. Each of the presidents was to receive S2,500 and d good position as mine foreman, and each 70f the ten men was to get from $100 to $200. The in connection with the bribery scheme, and none of the lawyers cross exam ined the witnesses
 The large coal companies have taken notice Of the testimony which has been presented against the Coxe and Mar kle companies During the afternoon session David Wilcox, vice president of the Delaware and Hudson and gen eral counsel for the company, ad- dressed the commission and protested vigorously against the commission holding his company responsible for the conditions that may exist at the Coxe or Markle mines. He was quick ly stopped by Chairman Gray, who said that the commission did not in tend to hold any company responsible for whatever special conditions may exist in either parts of the coalfieldS. While none of the attorneys for the other coal carrying roads said anything to the commission, they stated Aprivate- ly that MT. Wilcox's attitude in the matter had their iEdorsement.
 large amount of technical testi- mony was heard on various phases of weighmen produced figures which tended to show that at two Delaware and Hudson collieries the miners pro- duced 116,839 tons of coal more than they were paid for. The miners must bring up 3,136 pounds of coal and dirt to make ton of 2.240 pounds of pure coal, and the union claims that the company gets more than 2,240 pounds of coal out of each miners ton of 3,136 pounds and produced official figures to prove it.
 The Delaware and Hudson company presented figures to the commission, they being the first certified statistics to be handed in. They show the av- craze earnings of the miner in 1901 to have been $622.6S and his laborer $449.47. When MT. Mitchell was on the stand, he said that 5000 should be the minimum of American living wages

Lost Tribe Locafed.

The remnant of remarkable and hitherto lost tribe of Eskimos has re- gently been discovered on Southamp- ton island, at the extreme north end of Hudson bay. It is said that until recently these people have never had an opportunity of seeing white man. Their huts are built of the great jaws of whales, covered with skins. In the middle is an elevation, on which is a stone lamp used for lighting, heating, cooking, melting snow and drying clothes. The lamp is only dish of whale oil, in which is wick of dry moss. Indeed, the whale is the chief means by which these people live. the bones being utilized for making plates, cups and sledges, but they also use sledges of walrus tusks, with deer antlers for crosspieces. The tribe is almost ex- tinct, as only some 16 are left. They speak 2 dialect peculiar to them selves and are very daring hunters.- Kansas City Journal
