TALKS LIKE PARROT.
Philadelphia Canary IS Indeed
Most Wonderful Bird.
Cannot Only Pronounce His Own
Name, which Is Dewey, Hut Ii
Learning Other W0rds-Chnts
Of His Own Accord.

From an archaeological as we'll as a
patriotic standpoint, Dewey is name
to conjure with.
The parrot who watched the admi-
rails courtship and who, having learned
to greet the distinguished sutton,
achieved amazing conversational flu
ency, has already been written of. But
this parrot has now a rival in the shape
of Philadelphia canary who is a
namesake of the admiral and a credit
to the name.
This accomplished bird, says the New
York World, belongs to Mrs. William
Lacey, of No. 2134 Master street, Phil
adelphia. He is native of the Hartz
mountains, and is now nearly II years
old. Not until about three years ago
did he manifest his unusual power, al
though he has always been considered
remarka bic on account of the exSraor-
binary volume and sweetness Of his
voice.
He had been called George, but when
Admiral Dewey's name became house
hold word the famous surname was
added, at first half in jest. But Dewey
is name much loved in the Lacey
household, and SO eventually the name
George was dropped and the bird be-
came known as Dewey.
So it happened one morning, as his
young mistress stood in front of his
cage petting and talking to him, she
laughingly called him several times by
name, saying: dewey, Dewey, Dewey"
To her great surprise, Dewey put his
little head on one side and repeated the
words after her quite as plainly as she
herself had uttered them.
Since then Dewey has acquired sew
eral other easy words and with them
remarkable degree of Intelligence His
mistress will come into the room with

are mere gifts Of remembrance. All
the money he now possesses, about
300,00O,00O lire 100000, oO0), he be-
queathed to the treasury of the holy
see.
All these things, says the Chicago
Tribune, are perfectly familiar to the
inmates Of the vatican, for it is the
pope himself who constantly talks
about them. He speaks quite as free
ly and as often of his successor on
the papal throne. His consuming fear
is that his political work so persist
emily and patiently performed and so
fruitful of practical benefit to the
church should be nullifed by some rash
inheritor. He would like to have the
assurance that he will be succeeded by
Cardinal Rampolla, but he knows that
to be almost impossible, and failing il
he would prefer Cardinal Gotti or Car
dinal Wives Tuto. He disapproves
the candidatures of Cardinals Vanu-
tell, Svampa and Oreglia. Yet one of
these three will probably be the next
pope.
Cardinal Jerome Maria Gotti is a
Gcnoese, 6S years old, and is of the or
der of Barefoot Carmelites the most
austere branch. Under his subsequent
leadership the order made marked ma
terial advance. He accomplished the
partial restoration of the mother
house for the work in Palestine. He
also visited England and the United
States to counsel the order to austerity
and wider. service on the part of the
mendicants of the order. He was COM
manded to go to Brazil in 1892 to look
after the Catholic interests. In 1895
he was created cardinal. Personally
he is below medium height, but pos
sessed Of a well-rounded and we,l-pre-
served figure. lie lives modesfly in a
handsome palace. His tastes are scien-
tific, but he is the best authority on
canon law in the college. His friends
say he is the ideal scholar, saint and
diplomat. He belongs to no factions,
keeps out Of politics and never goes
into Roman society.

the question: where is Dewey, dear?"
And, with the playfulness of child,
the bird will answer: Here's Dewey
DEAR" following with such burst Of
canary melody as will cause a stranger
to stand spe.lbound with erioyufrt.
There is nothing remarkable sin the
appearance of this little semester ex-
cept that when he is talking or singing
he shows very unusual hroa1 dey ell
opment.
The muscles of his throat will en-
large until they stand on on ZACH side,
forming globules almost as .arge. as
small hickory nut, and then they will
contract until his throat seems very
much smaller than that Of an ordinary
bird.
When Dewey is at rest, however.
there is still an unusual amount of full
ness around his throat
In everything else Dewey is just an
ordinary canary bird. with all the wiz
fulness in taking his bath and scatter
ing his seed that other birds show.
Inasmuch as the newest Deweyis a
canary, his mastery of language must
be considered more remarkable than
that of the justly renowned Loretto,
who, while Mrs. George Dewey was still
Mrs. Mildred Mclean, madematters so
interesting in the Mclean household.
Loretto is a very handsome Mexican
bird, with brilliant green and yellow
plumage, red bill and shining back
eyes. It may be easily imagined that
at one period Loretto heard great
deal about Admiral Dewey and she was
not slow about applying it. No sooner
would the admiral enter the house than
a knocking voice would call out:
'Rah for Dewey! Ha! Ia! Hal" 4
This greeting never varied. Loretto
learned to recognize the admiral by his
step as we'll as his voice, and each time
would shrek out the welcome that was
no doubt intended to be cordial.
Loretto has also fine sense Of hui
NOR and greatly enjoys pun, which
cannot. be said Of many parrots. For
instance, she would inquire, solemniy:
dewey (do WEI swear?"
"Well, what's the answer" the vis-
itor would ask her.

Loretto would shrek with delight.
At this period Loretto became quite

when the door bell would ring she
would look wise and remark:

Loretto is now d member Of the
Dewey household.
