THE GREEN MURDER.

Suit Against Ocforoon Shows Green
 Mistaken For J. R. PIatt.
 NEW YORK, June 1.--Even since the brutal murder of Andrew H. Green, ''the father of Greater New York; last September, when he was shot down in front of his home by Cornelius Will Hams, an insane negro, it has been known to District Attorney Jerome that it was not Mr. Green, but John R. Platt, wealthy retired merchant, eighty -four years old, whom Williams intended to kill because of jealousy over Mrs. Hannah Elias, an octoroon with a most remarkable history.
 This fact has been made public by a suit which MT. Platt began against the negress to recover $6S5, 1885, which he says she has extorted under threats that she would expose and disgrace him in the eyes of his family and friends.
 Immediately after the murder Mrs. Elias made a statement to Mir. Jerome in which she detailed her relations with Mir Platt and denied that she had ever heard of MT. Green until he was BMOLss SnG lOlu HI uClull Ol lAc ldA SS amount of money which Mfr. Platt had given to her and declared that it was because of MT. Platts attentions that the negro Williams had killed MT. Green, mistaking him for Mir. Platt.
 MT. Platt at the time told the district attorney that if his name was made public he would commit suicide, and after a consultation between all who were most intimately interested in the case it was determined to go no fur ther than to make a statement that Mir. Green had been shot in mistake for an other man.

Have we not been told that Mir Hearst is a man of almost holy moral standing, says Golfers Weekly, whose very soul is torn by any crime, and, above all, by gambling? If each direc- tor in corporation is responsible, how about the man who owns the whole paper? "Does any amount of money. he asks, "any question of dividends, outweigh. in his estimation, the com mon principles of honesty and decen- cy?" This Western Union director is summoned to the bar of public con science because his company 'is in league with men that do more harm to this city in one day than is done by all tn Q bank robbers, burglars and sneak thieves in year. Reminding Mir Hearst of these principles, we ask him publicly why he encourages this vice by printing racing tips" iii his papers every day; why he prints also adver- tisements which are gotten up for the express purpose of leading MT Hearst's readers into gambling; why he devotes pages of his paper to making the races as attractive to his readers as he can. Surely, he would not allow ''any amount of money to outweigh the com- mon principles of honesty and decen- cy." Mir Hearst has the floor.

How science does destroy our pet whirns. Our ancestors long held the delusion that the ringing of the church bells had the effect to break up a thunderstorm, says an exchange. It was supposed that the vibration of the air caused the dissipation of the elec- tric fluid in the air. Hence on the ap- proach of thunderstorms somebody used to brave the elements, rush out and ring the village bell, thus afford ing the necessary peaceeof mind to the frightened sojourners. All is changed now. In fact, the contrary opinion is held. The vibration caused by the sound of bell on an oyerhanging cloud may cause it to discharge its con- tents upon the ringer of the bell in the church tower.

A Report That He Would Persuade
 Porter to Be Candidate.
 PARIS, June 1.-Governor Odell of New York soon after his arrival here called on Ambassador Porter at the embassy.
 Governor Odell's coming has attract ed much interest because of the pub lished report that one of the purposes of his visit is to induce Ambassador Porter to accept the candidacy for gov ernor of New York.
 When interviewed the governor said that he had come abroad for short rest, intending to remain week and then return to New York in time to att tend the Republican national conven- tion. As he and MT. Porter were both from New York and greatly interested in New York affairs, it would be natu- raj that they should discuss conditions there. Beyond this the governor did not desire to make a statement

HUNTING WILD GEESE.

Of all our myriad water fowl none is more difficult to get the better of than the gray-coated, ebony -necked, white1crayated gentleman who does business under the name of Branta scanadensis. otherwise. Canada goose. Our two species of cranes and the wild turkey are crafty, resourceful fellows, and, as a rule, exceedingly cautious in. their partaking of White Mans medicine, but tits doubtful if q wise old gander has anything to -learn from them in the matter of pro- longing existence. 1t has been my good fortune to have matched wits with each and all of these fowl upon the great plains of the far North aud elsewhere, and the question of which is the more interesting and difficult proposition remains undecided
 It is true that young geese near the remote breeding grounds and be- fore they have been educated by the long, perilous flight from north to south and back, not seldom behave in fashion calculated to cast q doubt upon their intelligence, but that is common fault of youth and inexperience. The two-year-old goose is a very different fowl, and if there be anything in feathers better able to extract chunks of solid wisdom from all experience with a trace of lead in it, have not yet met that bird. Nor is it at all strange that the "honlEer' should be tireIess in vigilance and ex- ceeding loath to trust his big, shapely body too near any form Of growth or shelter which possibly might conceal man. Roughly speaking, the initial southern trip from the fowls birth place to the winter rendezvous is an airy jaunt of about three thousand miles, more or less, at least one-third of which is punctuated with peril.
 Tn all probability. the true story of q goose's migration experiences would be something startling, espec- ialIy in regard to the quantity of lead of various sizes hurled after the ad- venturous flyer Would it be pounds or tons? At first glance, the latter quantity might appear absurd, but it must be remembered that goose is long.lived, while nine-tenths of his would-be destroyers use more lead than science in their abortive meth ods.. In any event if I had the choice of contracts for carrying in a canoe the goose. or the stuff that had missed him, there wouldn't be any hesitancy over the selection of the freight. The fact is that the honker is the most shot-at and the least-lzilled of all our fowl, the reason for which is simple enough. Not q few old sportsmen. and all new hands at the game. under estimate by about one-half the dis tance at which flying goose is pass ing. The bulky body and great wings make noble spread, even when q couple of hundred yards off, and only long schooling can teach the utter use- lessness of trying at half that range with any standard gun. To novice goose actually within sure distance will appear almost on top of him, and 1t is only after q few fowl have been killed. gathered, and the distance at which they fell noted. that the eve acquires the knack of measuring with anything like correctness the decep- tive mark-Edwin Sandys in The H. lustrated Sporting News.

Speaking of the homes of miners, q writer in the Engineering Magazine says that one of the largest companies operating the Pocahontas coal field erected very comfortable miners and employees houses, with the hope, though hardly the expectation, that they would lead to higher standard of living among the men. Especial pains were taken with the three room cot tages. The rooms were fairly large, and in addition there was small stove room with a f1ue, and place to wash
 It was expected that a small stove would be placed here, and that, when the miner returned from his work, his wife would have a fire and hot water ready for him; that he would wash, change his clothes. hang his working suit in this place, and then go to his living rooms clean and comfortable man. This was of course, explained to the tenants, with results that were far from encouraging. A visit of the house, inspector, shortly after the occu- pancy of the premises, showed that the families were practically living in one room out of the three; that the small wash room, from which 1t was expect ed 80 much comfort would be derived, was used by the children as q closet; that the other rooms than the living were used for similar purposes; that the open miners lamp had been hung from a nail driven into the wall and had smoked the room black; and that the broad porch before the house had been fouled with slops and refuse. It may be added, however, that such a condition is by no means universal, and there are many of the miners houses that are kept neat and clean.

 It is not an excuse for the New York people who stone automobiles, but it is a sort of explanation which IS offered by some people who write to the papers there. As they put the case popular passion has been excited by the recklessness with which the auto mobflist have driven their machines through the streets crowded with children and the leniency of the po- lice magistrates with such offenders has created the impression that the poor must punish the rich if the rich are to be punished at all. But most likely the real explanation lies in the hood1um tendency that seems to grow stronger every year. Hartford Times.
 Considering that only about one shad fry out of million ever lives to reach maturity, the chances of the Housatonic river being inhabited by very many, out of the few millions of shad placed in that river this year by the government are few. Government propagation has been very successful l in matching shad eggs, fully S0000, ,0O0 of them having been matched out un- der government supervision this year and all have been alive and Hopping when placed in the waters which Un- cle Sam has desired to reinhabit with them. But they are preyed upon so 1 extensively by other fish that only a small percentage attain maturity The success Of propagation, however, is | shown well by the fact that of 12,0OO shad fry taken from the Hudson river and placed in the Sacramento river, enough lived and multiplied to distri- bute themselves over the entire 5000 miles of coast from southern Califor- mia to eastern Alaska.-Ansonia Senti-
