AS its name implies, the congress is
purely a commercial organization, ta-

rational measures.

SMUGGLING PRIEST CAUGHT.
Arrested With His Niece, Who +

Claims is Innocent.
Washington, July 23-According to
AN official report reaching the treasury
department yesterday Il Roman Cath
Ollie priest and his niece from Massa-
chusetts, whose names are not an
nounced, were arrested for smuggling
across the Canadian border and had
confessed. In the confession the priest
pleaded that his niece may be dis
charged, and declared that she acted
only as his agent and WAS not aware
that she was committing crime. He
said that since 1896 he has been nak
ing annual trips to Montreal. where
he would purchase church robes and
other articles for church use, which he
would pack in his trunk as wearing
apparel and bring across the border
without declaring or paving duty. Dur
ing all this time, he SAYS the customs
officials never made any attempt to eN-
anime his baggage.
ON his last "trip to Montreal his niece
accompanied him and he induced her
to pack some of the dutiabe articles
in her trunk This she did. and the re-
suit was detection and arrest. Tho
priest says that the value of the
struggled goods is small. and in the six
years will not amount to more than
5000.
As a result of the revelations in
struct:ons We're sent today to collectors
careful in the future.

are requisite for the best sport. The gun
ner does not build a blind, but melts as
nearly as he may into some such familiar
object as a tree trunk, a salt trough or even
a fodder stack. He stands stock still beside
it and until he moves the doves regard him
as part of the landscape.
In flight their wings make a soft, nittery
noise suggestive of their cooling. Some
times the noise is loud enough to warn
the gunner of birds approaching behind him
or right over his head. They fly deter
minedly. There is no wheeling and circliug
before they settle. Sometimes the line OF
flight is straight; at others it describes a
wide curve. Whatever the line the flight
itself is strong and amazingly swift. Thus
a novice at dove shooting commonly puts
his pellets ten to fifteen yards behind the
game.
Dove shooting is by no means easy. Two
clean Kills to a miss is good work. Only
exceptional wing shots under exceptional
conditions bring down five birds in six.
Some years, when doves are very plenty,
there is excellent sport in walking them up
and shooting over standing corn. In such
shooting a bird to three shots should con-
tent the most ambitious. Cornfeld shoot
ing, just after frost, is apt to yield game
OF many sorts. Curlew plover, upland
plover, rail, wild turkey, snipe and wood
cock may all be brought to bag, particularly
If the corn land lies in a river bottom.

The true partridge is called pheasant and
is so rare except in the mountain regions
that it is practically beyond consideration
Like the wild turkey, it has disappeared
before the axe rather than the rifle.
Cleared fields might furnish it food in
greater plenty than ever, but they have
taken away the sylvan solitude within
which it breeds and fourisheC.
Doves increase almost inversely to the
spread of corn land, although they are
wood birds, haunting and nesting there.
The nest is a ramshackle affair, a thin
huddle of crossed sticks, with no p~retense
of lining, set high or low beside a big
bough, according to the builders caprice.
Notwithstanding, it sufices to rear two
young broods each season. The first eggs
are laid in March. BY September, when
dove shooting begins, the first broods are
as plump and well feathered as their elders
and only to be distinguished from them
when it comes to eating. Young birds are
tender enough for b%roiling; old ones require
TO be stewed or else parboiled and then
baked in a pie.
Before the broiling or baking comes the
killing. This is not so easy. Doves fly
strongly. They are, further, so armored
in feathers that a glancing shot is apt TO
be turned aside. The best place for dove
shooting is beside a stream or pond close
to a corn field. The doves feed in the corn.

more of the fields insect haunters. They
are so fond of corn that in winter they will
creep through hooks and crannies in crib
walls to feast on 1t, and then lack the wit
to go back the way they came. Sometimes
they die of thirst when thus entrapped.
Oftener they end by having their necks
wrung in punishment of their greed.
Doves fly commonly in company; there
may be two or twenty in a flight. They

with less than two wives, and often boast
ing three. All the wives lay in a common
nest, take turns at brooding the eggs and
at caring for the young. There may be
as many as thirty eggs in a nest. Twenty

The young run from the nest almost as
soon as Matched and know enough by the
time they are dry to hide at their mothers
note of warning. They are so near the
color Of earth and leaves that the least
small inequality gives them shelter from
intrusive eyes. They run very swiftly and
in a little while begin to fly, although they
are not strong on the wing until they are
full grown and full fcathcrcd.
Because Of the Norman tendency there are
generally bachelor birds who skuik by twos

summer long. The best early shooting is
had by beating these thickcts. The minated
birds fly strongly and are in prime con
dition a fortnight before the covcys are
at their best. After frost the lone birds
and coveys coalesce.
The coveys have a habit of going back
toward the nest at night. They seldom
sleep fifty yards off the nest spot, unless
they have been so much disturbed there
that they have abandoned the place alto
gether. Local attachment is tremendously
strong with them. They will often cling to
a field through a whole season, though shot
at every week. They will migrate in a
