PROTECTING THE BIRDS.
England Is Far Ahead of Anne erica I'm
Preventing Ravnges on the
SOngsters.

The protection of birds has been
carried so far in England that fruit
growers and farmers are complaining
bitterly of the ravages of thrushes,
blackbirds and bullfinches. 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, small-bore rifles, and of the
succulence of the young rook pies
cooked by experts. But it now appears
that the English rocks have not been
tbinned 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 it is
certain we don't protect our winged
friends as we ought to protect them.

SIMPLE STONE SLAB.
Marks the Exact Center of United
States Population.
II Lies In n Bnrnyard. and IndJ ana
Man Who Owns the Place liz Very
Proud of His Unique
Distinction.

j. Pierpont Morgan, the main shaft
Of the worlds financial machinery, or
Andrew Carnegie, the cynosure of mill
lions of people who are receiving the
benefits of his philanthropy, could not
feel prouder of their respective dis
tinctions than does Henry Marr, just
a plain farmer, who resides near Co.
lumbus, Bartholomew County, Ind.
By referring to bulletin issued by
the census department it is found that
the exact center of population is To-
Gated at latitude 80 degrees o min
utes and SO seconds north, longitude So
degrees As minutes and 54 seconds
west. If person is desirous of visit
ing the spot better idea of its loca-
ton can be secured by asking any res
ident of Columbus. Almost invariably
the answer to such question will be /:
"Five miles southwest of Columbus,
in Hen Marr's barn lot"
Marr is the person who enjoys the
prominence of being the center man
of population of the whole United
States. 1t is quite distinction, too,
and, according to the Cincinnati En-
quirer, Mari fully appreciates it, The
pivotal stone is merely small, fiat
slab sunk into the ground in the barn
lot, leaving only the top surface ex'
posed TO the central atmosphere On
it is carved the simple inscription
1900" The marker, while not ex
traordinarily pretentious, is a more
elaborate affair. Several hundred
farmers apd other visitors were pres
ent the day the stones were placed in
position.
Once inside the Enclosure no trouble
is experienced in finding the monu
ment. 1t is planted in the grounc
about IS feet from the corner of the
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-05-14

huge red barn, which occupies the
center of the barnyard. With meas
ured strides and a feeling of awe one
advances in respectful silence TO the
spot. The first impulse to betray real
curiosity is evident in a force which
invariably compels one to step upon
the stone. Not until then does per-
son realize that he has been paid for
taking the trip, for the instant the
feet are planted solidly upon the mon
ument the curiosity seeker is suddenly
made to fully appreciate the novel in
ward sensC ion of imagining 1850, 900
the same number to the west, to the
north and to the south.
Many persons from different parts
of the United States have already Wis
tied the spot, and all have been more
or less courteously treated by Farmer
Marr and his wife. Tourists happen
ing around the Marr home about meal
time will more than likely have an op-
portunity of finding out what good
cook is Mrs. Marr.
Mari was born 40 years ago and
farm on which are located the mon
uments. The magnificent country
home was built few years ago at a.
cost of about $4,000. 1t stands out en-
| ticingly on an estate containing 500
acres. The Marr domicile is a model
| of completeness. 1t would do credit in
| appearance to most any residence dis
trict of the larger cities, and besides
it is fitted out with about all the con-
veniences' one could wish. The family
receives its mail daily by rural carrier
Incidentally it might be mentioned
that the Marrs were beneficiaries of
the first rural delivery route instituted
in the United States, the initial route
having ramified through Bartholomew
county as an experiment from the lit.
tie town of Hope, near there.

ENTERING THE CAPITOL.
Strangers Are Easily Distinguished
by tR,e Way They Ascend
the steps.

"When you see a man or woman
climbing the steps to the west front of
the capitol you may bet he or she is a
stranger in Washington" said an old
attache of the national capitol build
ing, according to the Washington Star.
"Ninety-nine out of 100 persons who
enter the capitol from the west are
persons who are paying their first visit
to the building; depend upon it, After
they are here awhile they will make
the pilgrimage by car and land them
selves around on the east side, and thus
escape climbing so many steps. Strang-
ers invariably think the west side of
the capitol is the front.
"At the last session of congress no.
ticed one day man enter the corridor
putting and blowing and trying to catch
his breath When he cooled off suf-
ficiently'to' talk corherently he gasped:
"'Will you direct me to the house of
representatives,?
81 did so. and he passed on. The next
day / saw him enter from the east side
with western congressman. The fell
low was perfectly passive, and seemed
pleased that he had found the easiest
way Of getting to the capitol. 1t was
evident that the trip to the capitol had
been made in a street car which landed
him on the hill, and that the congress
man had put him on"

Many present believed 1t was a bid

auspicious opportunity to deny his de-

Others, however, regarded Mr.. Cleve
lands remarks as merely an appeal
for friendship without any political
significance whatever and pointed to
the ex-Presdent's remarks on dedca-
ton day, which were of more rellg-
Gus character than any he had ever
made before. This contingent argued
that Mr.. Cleveland was getting old,
that he desired to be at peace with all
men and to obliterate a certain anita

press. The older democratic CORE

CAPTURED THE WRONG LION.
Compliment Intended for Noted Lee
turer Fails TO the Head
Waiter.

The career of social lion hunter is
liable to be attended with an occa-
sional disappointment, even though on
the whole successful. Burton Holmes,
on some of his tours as lecturer, has
been considerably lionized, and hetells
this story of a compliment which he
missed, but which was enjoyed by an
other, says the New York Times. lie
was lecturing in an eastern city, and a
reception was given in his honor at the
principal hotel of the place.
Among those who attended this re-
ception was woman prominent social
ly, who has established sort of
salon." and received her friends Sun
day afternoons, trying to provide a
"lion" or two for each occasion.
Burton Holmes was so fortunate as
not to be presented TO the e-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 it. His ex-
cuses were not accepted, and the VIC
tim consented to appear. Extra ar
rangements were made for this occa-
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 to be EN-
barrassed thereby. The head waiter
had been mistaken for the eminent lee
turer.

In n ReyerentiaI Sense.

According to President Harris, of
Amherst, a word that is looked upon
as profanity in Boston may express the
deepest sentiment out west, in proof
of which he tells the following story:
"A rough miner died out west and was
laid away by his fellow laborers, with
a common slab of stone to mark his
resting place, On the stone was this
inscriptions: Bill Jenkins; died June
~, 1901. He done his damndest. An

1t appears that IN his recently pub.
lished report General MIles presented
one suoJect with wh'cl tle large ma
iorlty OF army aud naval offers agree,
W., the necessity OF foItiylng Manila
harbor. 1t is agreed that if the Span
iards had taken the precaution to
properly fortify this excellent land
locked harbor and emplace few bat
teries with modern and effective guns,
the history of Admiral Dewey's attack
upon the Spanish fleet might have
been very different, view sustained
by the Admiral himself, and it is
practically assured that Congress will
be strongly urged to provide funds tor
the proper protection of Manila bay.

Some scepticism was expressed by
the Democratic press when the immi-
grafton bill was passed by the last
Congress and, while no definite defects
were pointed out at the time, the
scepticlsm now appears to have been
warranted. 1t has just been dis
covered that the bill contains clause
providing that skilled labor may be
admitted when no unemployed labor
of the kind can be found IN this
country and the Treasury Department
officials maintain that this nulllfies the
prohibition of the importation of con-
tract labor when the condition out
lined exists, thus leaving the importa-
ton of contract labor dependent on
the judgment of the immigration OF
officials.
