SHOULD BEARS BE ExooURAGEDs

An effort is being made to get a bill through the New York legislature to protect the black bears of the Adj rondacks. It provides for a close sea- son from June 1 to September 30, for bids setting bear traps, and restricts the number that any hunter may le- gaIly kill to one each season. The farmers who live in the mountain coun- try are opposed to the bill because, as they say. the bears kill their sheep. They also say that it is next to impos- sible to kill a bear by shooting at it. The farmers, therefore. are of the opinion that trapping should be permit ted in order that the bears may not become so numerous as to be real nuisance.
 The Adirondack farmers know what harm the bears do, and they don't want to see them increase. In this they are like the farmers who are down on the Wall street bears.

4 GREAT LEGAL BATTE

The decision of the Supreme court of the United States that the law of Mas sachusetts which prohibits the erection of buildings over ninety feet high in Copley square, Boston, is constitu- tional, calls attention to the great legal battle which ltas been fought over the Westminster Chambers, which exceeds this legal height by only six feet. Five legislatures, the Supreme court of Mas sachusetts and the United States Su- preme court, the highest tribunal in the United States, have been appealed to-, to save the six feet which are held to be an evasion of the law.
 The company building the Westmin- ster Chambers began it's operations in 1897. The necessary plans were sub- mitted to the city authorities, the park commissioners and other officials who had Jurisdiction approved them, the re- quired permit was granted, and the company went on to lay foundations and erect a fine, large steel building. The site is 100 by 14S feet, and cost $S5O,0 The building was estimated to

RAPID FOR 4 SLoW CITY.

Reformers have to be wide-awake to keep up with those who are not reform CTS. A scheme has just come to light in i Philadelphia which has given those who are opposed to pool-rooms there quite a jolt. The scheme is to run pool-room openly and above board in the guise of an insurance office. The idea comes from Lloyds, where insurance may be placed on anything under the sun, pro- vided the element of chance enters. If one can insure horse against dying, it was argued, why cannot one insure him against defeat? Conversely, why is it not possible to insure him against win ming? That, in brief, is the plan. In- stead of pool ticket, the establishment will issue a policy, agreeing to pay certain sum if certain horse wins Cor does not win, as the case may be) cer- tain race on a certain day. In the of- flee will be kept blackboard on which the constantly fiuctuating rates of in- surance will be chalked. For instance, when the vulgar and illegal pool rooms and betting rings are offering odds of 4 to on Nux Vomica, the company will charge 25 per cent. premium to insure that horse. Again, if the odds on Creo- sote are to 3, a policy of s16 will cost the beneficiary just s6. If the horse wins, the company is liable for the face value of the policy.
 This is rather rapid for a city which has the reputation of being slow. The syndicate back of it was planning to se- cure a1charter under the laws of some State kindly disposed towards new cor porations, and then obtain the consent of as many State insurance depart nlents as possible, but it is believed that publicity will interfere with the we'll devised scheme

cost complete $s54.s0a. or. with the site, over q. .O00, 900. The work went on un- til eight stories were erected when in response to objections made by the offi- cials of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the legislature of Massachusetts passed an act prohibiting the erection on property fronting Copley square of a building over 90 feet high. or the com pletion of any such building in course of erection. Prior to that it had been the rule to allow a height of 125 feet. The attorney general asked and secured a permanent injunction against the trustees of the Westminster Chambers company to restrain and prohibit 1t from going on with its building. and to compel it to take down as much of it as exceeded the height of 90 feet. The trustees resisted the injunction, and took the case up through the state courts, raising the question of consti- nationality, and urging that a state was prohibited from passing an ex post facto law.
 The decision will encourage those who don't want to see skyscrapers damage adjoining property. And if the Massachusetts legislature doesn't take the back track now it will greatly en- courage many in Massachusetts.

THE WILD TURKEY.

After lengthly correspondence and a great deal of trouble a near neighbor of mine has recently been able to pur- chase a few full-blooded wild turkeys for propagating purposes. Compared with the domestic turkey these birds are somewhat simmer in build, and the tips of their tails and tail coverts are chestnut instead of white.
 The idea that this, the largest and finest of American game birds, should ever become scarce probably never oc- cured to the hunters of two hundred years ago, when it was common over a vast area comprising more than one half the present United States. In the greater part of this territory It is now extinct, and is seldom to be found any where except in the wilder parts of it's range. How much longer it will remain on the list of living American birds, depends upon the enforcement of laws made to prevent it's total annihilation. A few years, and it will probably be too late; there will be no turkeys to save. Already the buffalo, the finest ruminant on the western hemisphere, Is beyond the reach of human aid. I doubt if it could be saved from extinction by all the money and machinery at the dis posal of the United States government. That the turkey follows it closely as a shadow, no one can doubt who has given the matter an hours considera- tion.
 The wild turkey of to-day is per- manent resident throughout its range, though hundred years ago, when it was a very common bird, 1t appears to have been an irregular migrant, mov- ing about in flocks of from ten to one

would require a very good horse to overtake wild turkey in good condi- ton. But their wariness and speed help them but little against the ingenu- ity of the unsportsmanlike hunter, who traps them when they are hungry and who shoots them on their roosts at night, when their large dark bodies can be plainly seen against the sky. It seems as though nothing short of & mir acle could prevent them from pass ing"

The registrar of the land office at Lawton, Oklahoma, in an opinion re- gently rendered, declared that "it is a well established rule of the land depart ment, supported by numerous decisions, that any time before final certificate issues homestead entry is open to at- tack on the ground that the land there in is mineral in character without re- gard to the date of the alleged mineral discovery. It is also settled rule and pronouncement of the department that the mineral character of the land must be known at the time of final entry. It must contain known mineral depos- its in order to defeat the agricultural claimant for such mineral discoveries after final certificate is issued does not defeat the title of the homesteader."

MAKING HIS OWN WAY,

While everybody is talking about what shall be done for and against the negro he is looking out for himself little. For instance, publication made by the Atlanta University shows that he is making progress in doing work well. Among 8 number of business concerns in the southern States, em- ploying 2,5O0 skilled negro laborers, three -fourths are satisfied with these workmen and will continue to employ them." The most popular occupation for negroes is under the head steam railroad employees" Of these there are 45,0S0. Carpenters come next, with almost 21,000. Blacksmiths and wheelwrights, marble and stone- cutters. barbers, bricklayers, boot and shoe-makers and cotton and mill oper- atives follow in the order named. While the author points with pride to 357 pa- tents granted to negroes, and to the hundreds of men who, in spite of prej- udice and organized opposition, work at their trades, he does not lose sight of the fact that there is still much room for improvement among the negro artisans, and closes his work with this note of warning: Deftly guided with the larger wisdom of men and deeper benevolence of great hearts, an outcome of good to all cannot be doubted. Mud- died by halftrained men and guided by selfish and sordid interests, and all the evils of industrial history may easily be repeated in the South.
 The progress already made is encour- aging, and disposes of one of the most common assertions against the negro.
 Many of the negroes can work well if they can get the chance, and they are not asking anything unreasonable in asking that.
