AFTER PACIFIC COAST SEA LIONS.

If the sea lions of the Pacific coast have any way of knowing what the de- cision of certain scientists concerning them is they are agitated. The con-
 mittee of scientists appointed by the United States Fish Commission to in- vestigate the habits of the sea lions has decided that these animals destroy so many salmon that they must be them- selves destroyed, and it is probable that within a short time men will be sta tioned at the various rookeries along the coast to destroy them. The scien- lists are unanimous in their belief that the animals should be killed off exten- sively, although not wholly exterminat- ed. During the fall of 1898 and the spring of 1899 the salmon fishers made
 numerous calls for relief from sea lions

BROTHER NOTIONS CASE.

o. D. Norton, of St. Louis. has been the means of raising an interesting question He was called to do jury duty at a time when he was also called to get married. He felt that getting
 married was more important than be-
 ing juryman, and so he disregarded the call of the court and answered the call of love. He is going to be brought to trial for contempt of court, but there are many in St. Louis who feel that
 that is better fate than it would be to
 be on trial before the community for contempt of his obligations to his girl and to the institution of marriage. The
 St. Louis Globe-Democrat is among his
 defenders, and it shrewdly points out that the courts, including the jury sys- tenn, exist primarily for the benefit and protection of society, and any action taken by them not in accord with this theory is oppressive, unjust and inini- cal IO the U6SI luLSIcStS OL lILC 3lotC'
 The institution of matrimony, while it is held by lovers to exist solely to pro-
 mote the personal happiness of the ir1-
 dividual, is in reality a sine qua non of civilization, the basis of enlightened government, and essential to the prog ress of the race Consequently any in-
 terference with this great institution would be contrary to the best interests
 of humanity, and antagonistic to the
 principles upon which our government
 rests. Compared to the institution of
 marriage, the jury system is an unim- portant factor in modern society.
 We cannot attempt to decide the question which Brother Norton has
 been the means of raising, but we can and do hope that the court whose call
 he has disregarded will not feel obliged to be savage with him. It might per- haps properly scold him little and tell him never to let marriage interfere with jury duty again, and he might say he
 wouldn't, and then everything would be
 all right.

ANOTHER STORY,

When the price of coal and coal itself were out of sight people were somewhat comforted by what they heard about the use of oil as substitute for coal. Now when the coal strike is over the talk about oil isn't quite as glowing as it was. For instance, pr. David T. Day, chief of the division of mineral re- sources of the government geological survey, is not convinced that oil Is go- ing to be used extensively as 8 substi- ute for anthracite. He says that if fuel oil could be had at four cents a gallon it would about equal in heating value coal at $S a ton. A very large boiler has been used for some months at Washington in the effort to discover just how practical oil is for marine pur- poses, and as result of the experi- ments 1t has been determined that while the new fuel is at least of promising character there are some disadvan- tages, For instance, it is likely to cost more, on the whole, for use in the navy, than coal, and it's employment on ship board would be attended by disagree able atmospheric conditions. But the worst wipe oil has received lately is in the statement that after making a test of oil as fuel on it's passenger locomo- tives for ten months, the Southern Pa cific railroad has decided to return to the use of bituminous coal, and it's mines at Carbonate have received or ders to begin shipping twenty-five thousand tons a month. It is reported that oil was not a success on the pas senger locomotives for two reasons: One, that it deposited coating on the f1ues, which had to be removed every day, or it kept the heat from the water, causing great waste of fuel. The other was that the intense heat pro- duced by the oil cracked and split the boiler sheets.
 It is fortunate that such talk as this wasn't thrown into the situation a month ago. It would have made the scare even more scary than it was.

Sir Henry Irving has won a great reputation as an after-dinner speaker, but according to Harry Furniss his speeches are carefully prepared and printed in very large black type, easily read at a distance. Herein lies the tri- umph of the actor. These slips are art fully placed on the table, out of sight of the audience; and while one of the speakers hands rests artistically on his hip the other toys with a fruit knife and with it pages of the speech are turned over as they are read. So per- fectly is this acted, so gracefully does the body sway, and so weil-timed are the pauses in the speech, that only those seated in close proximity to Sir Henry are aware he is reading his speech.

Massachusetts is a good old State. A pamphlet just issued by the Massachu- setts Prison Association contains the gratifying statement that the prison population of the State continues to de- crease. Better yet, comparison of stat istics tends to show a large reduction in minor offenses and some decrease in grave crimes.

He has been vegetarian all his life, and declares that the time will come when Europeans will look on beef eating with the same horror that we do on cannibalism.

CORNELL HERE TOMORROW.
Georgetown Aggregation Will Meet 1th
acan Baseball Team.

The crack Georgetown balltossers Will
be called upon tomorrow afternoon to up
hold their colors against those OF Cornell
The team from Ithaca comes to Washing
ton with a string of victories two weeks
long" and. as they always put up their
finest article of ball against the Blue and
Gray. a great game is expected
Cornell takes a longer Southern trip
than any other of the Northern teams.
This year they journeyed IS far as At
lanta, where they defeated the Univer-
sity of Georgia rather easily. The other
leading college teams of Georgia. North
and South Carolina have also been taken
into camp by the Comedians. Therefore
II behooves Coach Suter to trot out his
fastest aggregation tomorrow afternoon.
The teams only play one game this year,
and consequently 1t means much to the
winner, as the victorious team will be
that much nearer the championship goal
while the losing team cannot claim a
clear title to the flag.
Cornell has very large following in
Washington. and big crowd is expected
to be on hand to encourage the wearers
OF the Red and White.

advantages that accrue to the holders of

no little effect in bringing IN renewals

men on bases, one on first and the other
on second. When Del came to bat"

chin whenever he thinks of the story. Il
knew that he would attempt to bunt as
the situation called for this kind of a
play. l accordingly played in little
further. Del waited for the second ball
and then hunted. The leather came out
between first and second. about ten feet
high. and with the speed of modern pro-
jectile Ii passed over my head without
any decrease in force, and | turned and

from Boston to New York on July and >.

erning automobile endurance runs will be
followed. The bicycles will be graded in
classes according to horsepower. but the
awards-probably gold, silver, and bronze
medals-will be based, not on average
speed, but on scale of points. Thus all
who reach the several CONTROLS" or
checking stations. within the specified
time limits will score the maximum of 100

sixty. or more minutes, will be scaled

lack O'Brien and Tommy Ryan.

The fight between Jack O'Brien and
Tommy Ryan for Derby night, May ). at
Louisville. KY. goes after all. Last week
O'Brien said it was all OFF, so far as he
knew, since Ryan had refused to sign the
articles. Word was received on Friday
from Louisville that Ryan had signed.
AS O'Brien had already agreed to the
terms of the match. Ryan's signature
settled the matter. and the match will
now take place on the date mentioned.
The making of this match with Ryan will
ferce O'Brien to give up the proposed con-
test with Joe Walcott. which was sched-
uled to take place in Philadelphia on
April Ii. In making the match with Wal
colt, OBrien signed the contract condi-
tionally that in case he got on the fight
with Ryan the fight with Walcott was to
be declared OFF.

for the spectacular effect that the steeple-

lnanimate Target Shooting.

boom in inanimate target shooting is
due, owing to the passing OF the law pro-
hibiting live-bird shooting in New York
State. and which will no doubt be passed
by the Legislatures in New Jersey Penn
sylvania, Delaware. and Maryland. The
devotees of the sport and the manufac-
turers of powder. shells. guns, and shoot
ing paraphernalia made a good fight
against overpowering odds. and it is like
ly that the fight will be continued il bills
are offered in Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey. With live-bird shooting stopped, the
only way of enjoying the sport at the
traps will be at targets, and il the bills
pass in these States there is every proba-
bility that the target season this year will
be a record breaking one.
