all, but tormenting them to death for the pleasure of hearing their cries and seeing them struggle. This peculiarity is. however. rather useful to the farm CTS. the enemies of whose crops the barn owl destroys.
 Then the goshawk seems to be the
 bad strong boy of the denizens of the air. He is fond of exhibiting his
 strength and swiftness just to show ! that he possesses them. He has been known to kill one rabbit after another
 as if for the sheer fun of the thing,
 without pausing to eat a morsel of his victims. He has been known to de-
 scend upon a chicken yard half a dog 7, en times of morning. tear off the legs
 and wings of a grown fowl at each
 swoop, and fly away leaving their flesh untasted. He likes to fight for the sake of fighting. His pugnaeity some times leads him into ludicrous predica-
 ments, as in the case of one whom Mir. Knight saw swoop upon 8 skunk and
 return defeated from the encounter,
 showing every evidence of the most in tense disgust.
 The great horned owl is, however. the veritable Hindoo thug of the kingdom ship goddess who must be placated with unceasing victims. and the higher their social station the better. For,
 unless pressed by famine or as a mere 1 incident of his nocturnal foray of I slaughter, he does not kill rats and oth- | CT vermin of which the farmer would gladly be rid. His preferred victims
 are squirrels, rabbits and song birds of all kinds, and of these he eats only the
 brains, scornfully abandoning the rest of the carcass. A pair of horned owls
 will provide nightly for their young, when 1t can be obtained, enough food 1 for lion cub. Mir. Knight found in one i nest the bodies of rabbit, two squir-
 rels, robin, grosbeak and sparrow, all freshly killed. .ss5.a... .... l From this it is plain that the criti- l cism often given to certain kinds of i hunters, to the effect that they are
 worse than wild animals because they 1 kill game for which they have no use < is without foundation in fact. The GUS toms of the domestic dog and cat would
 have shown the falsehood of the com
 parison. It may be said. however, that these animals have had their natures
 corrupted by contact with man. That I explanation does not explain the ways I of the goshawk, the great horned owl
 and other carniverous birds. These dc
 not, like the butcher bird, even attempt to store their spells for future use,
 They kill like the hunter of "big bags
 merely for the fun of slaughter
 All of which goes to show, as MT.
 Knight well says, that "birds, in point
 of character, are not unlike individuals of the human race. Some are good;
 others are bad Chicago Inter- Ocean

New York, Feb. 23.-The submarine

vessel which will shortly be put
through a series of trials for the pur.
pose of demonstrating her capabilities
to officers of the United States navy,
is being overhauled at City island, and
put in ffrst-class condition for the COM

The Protector was built in Bridge
port, Conn, by her inventor and
owner, Captain Simon Lake. The YES
sci is designed for harbor defense.
She is so feet long, Of 11-feet beam,
draws II feet of water and weighs
about 200 tons. She is built of steel
and equipped with two wheels to en-
able her to travel along the bottom of
the sea. Her motive power is cleo
tricity when submerged, and gasoline
when cruising awash. There are two
torpedo tubes, one fore and aft, and
an opening in her bow will admit of
g diver leaving the boat to cut cables

Hotel DESTROYED.

Toledo, Feb 23.-The Hotel De
veaux, corner of st. Clair and Jeffer
son streets, was almost completely
destroyed by fire yesterday evening
The fire was discovered by one of the
guests on the third floor, and had
gained quite a little Roadway. Ar
alarm was turned in at once, but by
the time the department had arrived
the flames had spread to the second
and fourth floors. The guests and
help were notified and all left the
building in safety. many taking Their
personal effects with them. The
cause of the fire is unknown. The
loss will amount to 100000, with $50,
600 insurance. There were about sc
guests in the house.

NAVAL CONSTRUCTION DELAYED.
Still, Secretary Moody Says United
States is Mot Materially Behind
Germany and England.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The presi-
dent has been In correspondence with
Secretary Moody respecting the mat
ter of delay In the construction OF
naval vessels and the secretary in
turn has called upon the chief con-
structor for statement of conditions
in various shipbuilding yards where
naval work is going on. The secre-
tary has submitted letter in the ma
ture of report to the president in
GLIDING with it the chief constructors
report. In substance these letters
show that while through a number
of causes the building of warships has
been delayed and the dates of their
completion have been and will be con-
siderably beyond the dates originally
set, naval construction in the Unite1
States is not materially behind the
naval construction of England and
Germany in the matter of time"
Secretary Moody argues that 1t
would be mistake to offer bonus
for the completion of vessels ahead
Of contract time and adds that two
Their extension of time be permitted
except by his own personal order.
The chief constructors report
shows that there are seven causes for
delay In naval work, namely: made
quate plans. changes in armor or arm
ament or design, delays in delivery
OF armor and ordnance, delays in gov
ernment inspection, delays in struct-
ural steel. delays due to inadequate
facilities and insufficient ability N
the contractors staff and delays due
to inadequate supply of skilled labor.
All of these SUBJECTS are treated in
detail in the report, and the point is
made that after all the apparent great
speed in English shipyards is due to
the fact that the vessels are delivered
by the contractors in very incomplete
condition to the government which
spends several years in many in
stances, in equipping the ship for COM
mission.

Tonight! The Great Lafayette Show,

The Great Lafayette, aptly called

bring his magnificent company to
Swisher's Theatre to night and splen.
did business will undou btedly crown
Manager Swishers commendable en-
terprise in securing this fashionable
com bination for the patrons of his
popular playhouse. One is at a loss
for words in endeavoring to describe
the merits Of the big show, which as
in past time seasons is headed by
the great and only Lafayette, man
Of mystery, who has well earned his
emperor-like cognomen, and it is safe
to say that he Is the most versatile
performer in the world, and his en-
ergy in securing new and novel ma
terial with which tostartle and amuse
his audience is equalled by no other
in the world of amusement. His IA
nous travesty on the eminent Celes-
tial, "Ching Ling Feo," is still re-
tanned in his repertoire, but so many
novelties and startling situations have
been added to it that it is almost I'M
fair to designate it as travesty, for
1t is practically an original and stu
pendous work of wonder, a1d credit
is due Mr.. Lafayette for his ingenuity
In perfecting and bringing to it's pres
emf high standard this marvellous and
mysterious act. One Of Lafayette's
lightning changes this season brings
him before the foot-lights as king
Edward, and while apparently receiv-
ing the homage of his audience for
the excellence OF the impersonation,
he appears entering on the stage mag
nificently arrayed as Queen Alexan-
dfia. This is but one OF at least
twenty changes made by this wonder
full artist, and each one seems to
eclipse the other and during his entire
performance one surprise follows an
other in startling rapiditY until the
climax, when Lafayette is discovered
in the midst of vivid sheets of fire as
his satanic mai esty surrounded by a
score OF Imps from the Internal re-
gions, and the scene closes in a blaze
of glory never before witnessed IN this
country.

With Their Arguments Goodwin
Closes.
All day Monday the attorneys in
the Martucio case have been de.
livering their argu ments to the jury.
The morning session extended until
nearly one o'clock and it was halt
past one before court re-conyened.
Prosecuting ATTORNEY Goodwin
closed Immediately after dinner for
the state He spoke for nearly two
hours and as this paper goes to
press Judge Mason is delivering the
charge to the jury.
1t is expected that the jury will
retire to their room about five O.
clock to deliberate on the verdict.
1t is matter of lively conjecture
as to what the verdict will be.
Some of the arguments are rather
torrid in tone and some of the wit
nesses were fayed by counsel. The
members also paid some hot compli-
ments to each other.
Seldom has case been SO hard
fought as this one has and 1t will
be remembered for a long time in
the county.

UNSIGRTLY POLES
Many of Them will be Removed
Later on.

Trolly Wires and Lighting Wires VIII
BE Attached to Same Poles rac.
tion Company Doing an Unusual
Thing.
The additional poles being set along
the streets for the trolley road make
1t appear that the poles will soon be
much greater nuisance than they
have been here before, but matter :
will not be so bad as they seem.
Mr.. Sweitzer the superintendent
the work is authority for the state
ment, that the electric light wires are
eventually to be transferred to the
juniper poles erected for the trolley
line. and this will allow the removal
OF many OF the poles now In use.
This consolidation of the street car
and lighting system of wires on
the same poles Is not done ordinarily,
but the Morgantown Company has SO
much regard for the beauty OF the
town, and its inhabitants, that 1t is In
curing additional expense In preparing
to give the best of service. The electric
light wires will be extended far out
into the Fourth ward on the same
poles that carry the trolley line wires
for running street cars.
The crew Of men setting poles is
working along High street today.
The severe freezing weather has made
their work harder, but they have lost
very little time on account of snow or
cold. When Dean and Hoffman take
contract, they are bound TO com.
plete 1t on time, regardless of weather.
1t will be such short time now Till
street cars are hummiug along High
street, that many people will almost
wonder what has happened when the
hrst one sizes past.
Many people will look with much
more favor upon the street car project
when the lighting system is improved.
1t is hard TO consider with even a de-
gree of favor anything done by COM
pany, which furnishes such abomni-
able lighting service as the Electric
Light Company furnishes at intervals
to its patrons.
