pending. 1t is not believed that all of
them can be acted upon during the reg

ton Of the Cuban treaty has been ex-
tended to March 81 as a precautionary
measure, so that there would still be
time for its consideration in extra ses-
sion If the regular session should fail

PROTECTING THE BIRDS.
England Il Far Ahead OF Amerdea In
Preventing RavaEes on the
SOnEHters.

The protection Of birds has been
carried so faS in England that fruit
growers and farmers are complaining
bitterly of the rsvages of thTushes,
blaekbirds and buHfnehes. These
winged beauties work great mischief
in gardens and orchards, says the New
York Tribune.
American readers Of British books
recall with pleasure vivid descriptions
Of the diversion Of shooting young
rocks in the early spring with short
range, smaH7bore rifles, and of the
succulence of the young rock pies
cooked by experts. But it now appears
that the English rocks have not been
thinned out with sufficient thorough
ness, and these birds do harm to va
rious farm crops.
East of the Mississippi in most Of the
states north OF the Potomac and the
Ohio the protection Of birds Of every
kind has been much underdone. We
have no rocks or ravens here, but il is
certain we don't protect our winged
friends as we ought to protect them.

this story Of q compliment which he

Burton Holmes was so fortunate as
not TO be presented TO the-fair lion
hunter, but she presented herself to
the man she had stalked for her game,
and urged upon him her Invitation for
the Sunday afternoon. He very mod
estly attempted to decline Il. His ex-
cuses were not accepted, aBd the VIC
tim consented to appear. Extra ar
engagements were made for this Oeca-
sion, and the fact that Mr.. Holmes was
to be there was heralded abroad. On
the day all the youth and beauty Of the
place gathered together awaiting the
advent Of a somewhat tardy lion, who
was received with every mark Of con-
sideratiOn, and appeared 10 be en-
barrassed thereby. The head waiter

MEN OF MEANS

PierpOnt Morgan has a gold dinner
service, said TO be worth $4,000, which
was presented to him by William H.
Vanderbilt when he (Morgan) made
an extensive sale Of New York Central
stock in Europe. It is a reproduction
Of service in the British royal family,
but the Morgans are not fond of dis
play and seldom use It.
A wondrous change has been worked
in John d. ROckefeller'sphysical eondi-
ton by his recent trip through Mexico
and the west. In prize ring parlance
he would weigh in at about $50 ring
side, with muscles firm and lungs in
fine condition for a man over 90. Nj.

Wall street another surprise BY ap-

Just begun TO recover from the shock
Of seeing the aged finaneier whiried in

feats of extravaganza are causing no
end of comment, for Mr.. Sage has al
ways been regarded as fairly ecOnOD-
zeal man.
There appears to be little doubt that
william K. Vanderbilt Is coming home
for good. Not only is he going to set
tie down to the railroad business after
his marriage, but he will bring to this
country all HIS horses and become a
patron of the American turf. He has
stable filed with. some of the best
two-year-Olds alive. and on the Ken
lucky farm he intends to buy he hopes
to raise others equally good.
Pierpont Morgan, who celebrated his
sixty-sixth birthday last Friday,
achieved his greatest business sue
cesses since he reached the three-scOre
mark. He first became prominent in
the financial world about 20 years ago,
when he went TO Europe and success
fully sold S25,OOO,OOO worth of New
York Central stock. This made the
old financiers gasp. By this piece Of
work Mr.. Morgan won the lasting
friendship of the late William II. Van
derbilt and incidentally cleared 81, OOO,-
