Ar. Fred L. KINNEY, one Of the
best known poultry raisers, SAYS that
poultry Is being bred almost ex.
clusiyely for form and feather. He
inumates that 1t should be more in
the direction Of egg production and
OF the supplying Of meat for the table
In a farmers ins tate held recently
in Cook county, Illinois. Mr.. KINNEY
recited facts relating to the great
prices sometimes obtained for high
class show birds. These high prices
we're due. he said. to the desire to
take prizes at shows and not to the
desire to produce biFds that would
prove great layers.
II seems to the writer that the
benefit arising from the holding OF
shows Is thus largely neutralized. The
score cards are made presumably with
the idea Of improving birds as TO EGG
laying qualities and meat producing
qualities. As long as form ana feath.
er are the objects sought. the poul-
try shows will fail to stimulate
breeding for really valuable points
We hope 70 see some movement be-
fore long in the direction Of greater
capacity to produce eggs and aesh
suitable for table use. The latter OBJ
iect comes nearer to being attained
than the other, even at this time. for
IN the making up Of the score cards
the birds with large quantities Of
meat on the breast are favored. But
The egg producing capacity is a thing
that Is not so easily included In the

Poultry fanciers tell as that a bird
that lays many eggs loses form to
such an extent that prizes are lost for

RowEN's PEACE COMMISSION.
Late 5ombardment May Not Interfere
With Same.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Notwithstand-
ing the irritation felt here in govern
ment circles at what is regarded as
the purely needless and revengeful
bombardment of the Venezuelan forts
by the German warships, the conclu-
sion at the present time is that this
incident will not prevent Mr.. Bowen
from successfully carrying out his mis-
sion of peace. The utteranCes of
Count Won Buelow in the German
reichstag yesterday are regarded here
as conveying the intimation that the
German warships are acting by direct
orders from their home government
with the purpose of avenging them
selves for the repulse of the Panther
in it's first attack upon these forts.
However this may be, the United
States government cannot at this mo-
ment see any proper excuse for en-.
tering into this quarrel between Ger
many and Venezuela. 1t is again and
emphatically stated that when the
United States exercised it's good of.
fees to the extent OF negotiations It
has exhausted It's proper functions in
that direction and could do no more.
Mr.. Bowen is again declared to be not
the representative of the United
States but Venezuela, and the state
department is very careful to preserve
the condition of independence on the
part of Mr.. Bowen in declining to re.
ceive any reports from him, or encour
aging his visits.

BISHOP BURGESS ON DIVORCE.

Commends Attitude of Roman Cath.
olic Church on Question.
New York. Jan 29.-Bishop Bur.
CESS, of the Protestant Episcopal do
cese of Long Island, made an address
at the annual dinner of the church
club last night, in which he commend.
ed the attitude of the Roman Catholic
church, on the divorce question. The
bishop said In part:
THE Roman Catholic church has
stood like a bulwark against divorce.
1t has stood for the inviolability of the
marriage tie and the unity Of the
nome. Because of that it is in the
world today one of the greatest forces
for progress and for Christianity
Our prayer book says one thing
and that thing is all right: but our
canons tell quite a different story.
The great work of the Protestant Epis-
copal church is to harmonic PRAYER
books and canons. When our canons
declare that communicates in our
falth once married are married for
life, then the Protestant Episcopal
church will have done what it ought
to do for the cause of civilization. and
the cause Of Christ"
The bishop said that the young peo.
pie of today grow up with the idea
that there is nothing binding in the
marriage tie, and that it can be brok-
en- almost as soon as assumed.

London, Jan. 23.-At the German
embassy a representative of the AS.
sociated Press was informed today
that no explanation had been received
there of the bombardment of Fort San
Carlos, and it could only be assumed
that there was good and sufficient
cause for it.
1t was suggested that judgment be
suspended until full particulars were
received. The British and German
governments, it was added, were act.
ing in perfect harmony, and quite
agreed that the blockade could not be
raised until satisfactory guarantee
had been offered by President Castro
When Minister Bowen went to Wash
tington it is thought he was the bear
er of such guarantee, but the Ger
man embassy officials asserted it has
turned out that he only had President
Castro's promise to pay, which had
previously proved unsatisfactory. II
Mr.. Bowen could secure some other
guarantee, the blockade would be rails

Pistol shots aroused the neighbors

had been done by the bullets, but the
police searched in vain for burglars

Included in the confession is an &C.
knowledgment by Reilly that he had

been employed also as second butler.
Reilly forged letters of recommends.

aided him in securing employment
with Mr.. Juillard and is held now to
answer the charge OF forgery, as well
as that of grand larceny.
