WILD CANARY BIRDS
IN A STRANGE CLIMATE
They Fall on the Deck of a Lake Superior
Steamer by Hundreds and Die.

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH. Mimi, Sept. 17.-As the big
Peavey line steamer Frederick B. Wells.
Capt. L. w. Stone, was driving through
the wind and sea on Lake Superior last
night on the way to Duluth. a very sin
guiar thing happened. The boat was off
the Apostle islands, when scores of wild
canary birds, that were evidently not ac-
customed to the open sea and darkness in
a gale, were encountered looking for rest
and shelter. The scores of birds multi
piled until there were hundreds of them.
The moment they attempted to roost
anywhere they would fall TO the steel
deck apparently utterly exhausted dy-
ing soon after. Capt. Stone estimated that
500 or 600 dead wild birds were picked up
off the boat and thrown into the lake.

Not Acceptable Now.
For the present, at any rate, a pref

involving any new duty, however small,
on articles of nod hitherto untaxed,
even II accompanied by a reduction of
taxation on other articles of food

TURKS MASSACRE
TEN THOUSAND
They Destroy the Town of
Kastoria and Kill All Its
Inhabitants.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 1.-THE for
eign Office here has received reliable
information that the Turks have de-
stroyed the town of Kastoria, thirty
six miles south of Monastir, and have
Eassacred the population.
The report of a massacre at Kas-
toria comes from sources admitting Of
little doubt, though the details are
lacking. 1t was received with the
gravest concern by the officials here.
The population of Kastoria numbers
about 10000 persons, and the massa-
ere of such a number in one place, If
the report be true, exceeds anything
which has yet occurred in Macedonia.
At the present critical moment, when
popular feeling Is intense, the effect
of the report of such stupendous
slaughter may be most serious.
The press is assuming a bellicose
tone. The government, while steadily
proceeding with the partial mobiliza-
| ton plans, is endeavoring to avoid un-
necessarily exciting the people and
consequently has resolved not to mob
ilize any part of the Sofia garrison.

LONDON, Sept. lit is announced

tween Turkey and Bulgaria.

fact that in this work the whites of the south E,ust perforce lead the way.
 MT. Cleveland placed in his speech in New York a high value upon the Tuskegee plan or education. He could not well overestimate it. It is, in brief, an effort on a large scale to supply the south with better farmers and with better skilled labor of other sorts than it has been accustomed to find among the descendants of ex-slaves. There IS scarcely a trade that is not taught at Tuslegee. It is a great big indus trial school for blacks, and as it's en- dorsement is strengthened so will it's field be widened, and it's opportunities increased, Mir. Cleveland commended Tuskegee because It's sows "at the bot tom of life" using phrase of Principal Washington's, the seeds of the black mans development and usefulness. To all of this every thoughtful man in the south will add hearty and spontane- ous second. The Tuskegee plan is above criticism. It is eminently industrial, and it much prefers to turn out shoe maker or a tailor than a preacher or a lawyer. It has no relation to the politics of the period, but 1t looks to the up-building of race to whatever possibilities it may be capable of, and therefore to the bettering of the state. This is what Grover Cleveland com- mended in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, and he uttered no word that any intelligent Alabamian will condemn. He fully recognized and kindly appreciated the weight of the white mans burden In the south.

 Here are some results" stated by Dr. Arthur Macdonald as facts established by the observation of scientists and print ed in a government document. First born children exceed later born in stature and weight.
 Healthy men ought to weigh an addi- tional five pounds for every inch in height beyond sixty-one inches, at which height they ought to weigh 120 pounds. Boys grow more regularly than girls. Children born in summer are taller than those born in winter.
 Dull children are lighter and precocious children heavier than the average child. Urban life decreases stature from D years of age on.

 Mental images themselves constitute the motive, the springs of action. for all we do.

Aftermath of the Merner.

The furry in Wall street has been safely overcome, and confidence and prosperity will soon be restored. The country's business does not at all de- pend upon the ups and downs of Wall street. and the temporary effect of the merger decision will soon disappear altogether, leaving all interests much the stronger and the better for it.
 Ii, as is reported, the Northern Se- curities case is not to be carried to the Supreme court, the confession is made by the merger and it's lawyers that an appeal would be hopeless--that the de- cision of the Circuit Court of Appeals is such good law that it cannot be over ruled. It is regrettable that final decision from the Supreme court can not be obtained in this case, but there are other cases going to that court and no doubt an authoritative decision will be rendered by the court from which there is no appeal, except of course to congress.
 It is also stated that the Frisco Rock Island deal will for the present be abandoned, but whether this change is due to the merger decision is not publicly known. It Is, in fact, stated that the dropping of negotiations is due to a disagreement over prices. Be that as it may, this district has the Frisco system even if it has not the Rock Island and cannot get 1t. But we are content with the one when we cannot get the other, and the merger decision has not and will not injure this dis trict. There are some who think it will work almost incalculable benefit to the interests bound up in Birming- ham and it's tributary territory.

AGE AND THE PRESIDENCY.

From the Boston Herald.
 make a mans age an objection to his be- ing elected President of the United States provided he has not passed the three score and ten mark The period between 60 and 70 Is the period of greatest wis dom in the public man. Instances innum- erable in proof of this might be cited. both in our own history and that of other nations. We may well remember Clay and Webster as examples in the first instances, ard Gladstone and Bismarck in the second. At the present period we are inclined to think that Edmunds and Hoar and Allison demonstrate desirable presidential qualities more conspicuous ly than do younger men. Politics aside, who doubts if either of them would not be a safe President? Or, turning the sur vey to the other party, who questions that the same might be said of Cleveland or Olney? In point of fact, experienced and dignifed age Is much better adapted to meet the ideal for the office that the framers of the constitution had in mind than exuberant and enterprising youth: and, as regards the physical and mental impairment of age upon the person and the character, some men are younger at 70 than others are at 50, and we'll pre- served statesman Is apt to be in the for mer class
