MRS. BURCH|S| IN BUSINESS ALONE Will Make Estimates on tht COttOp fnnditiOn JOHN HYs Ys|ss, HELPING HER
 2? Both We 0s red From the Statistical [ DeJ ent and They Know
 About the Inside
 Workings.

Washington, October 2s.-(Special )-Mrs. Bertha Burch who was removed from her position In the agricultural depart ment, and John Hyde. who resigned under fire from the same department as re- suit of the cotton scandal disclosures. are declared to be behind a new crop es- timating bureau located in New York.
 The advance report issued by this bu- reau is signed by Bertha Burch, as Crop Estimator" The first and only re- port so far issued was remarkably close to the official report given out by the department of agriculture, the difference being only four-tenths
 Mrs Burch is familiar with crop esti- mating. The five years she. was employed in statistical capacity by the depart ment of agriculture was evidently put to good use. When her resignation was accepted by Secretary Wilson last July she said she would open crop estimating agency. It is freely said that her former chief, John Hyde, is connected with her venture.
 Working in Harmony.
 Hyde is at present in England, but is expected back to New York soon It is authoriatively stated that he and Mrs. Burch are working in harmony in es- timating the condition of crops. Mrs. Burchs office is in the Beaver building, 92 Beaver street, New York, and she is laying the foundation for a permanent agency.
 Under date of October Il she wrote to the department of agricultureafor copies of some public records pertaining to crop report compilations. This was the first in- timation of her branching out as an es- timator of crops. Mrs. Burch and MT. Hyde are both capable of compiling re- liable reports. They know the names and location of the departments county and township agents, and 1t Is said are getting their information from the same people who furnish it to the govern- ment.
 This arrangement cannot be avoided. according to Secretary Wilson. The de- partment's correspondents are not paid and are not required to handle the busi- ness exclusively for the government.
 Will Cut Down Expenses.
 Wholesale cuts in the estimates of the heads of departments will probably take
 
 place as a result of the deficit in the treasury. The estimates of Secretary Taft of the war department, showing that he calculates on an economy of about $9,ooo,- GOO in the expense of his branch Of gov ernment service. are expected to be typi- cal of the estimates of other depart menth. The secretary of the interior has already shown some of the things he can do with his pruning knife. and the sec ratarv of commerce and labor is getting busy in the same direction. It will there fore, be small surprise if s4o,OoO,OoO IS carved off the estimates for the govern ment,s conduct.
 They are going to prune off millions from the cost of government supplies, | other millions from the cost of printing, | some other millions from the expense or | running the postoffice department, ana rumor says that a big bunch or millions | will be carved off the payments to the railroads for carrying the mails.

How Long 1t Has Lasted.


Inc P0Opl0.
The French political proverb,
lit is the provisory which lasts
longest, "c'est lie provisoire qui
dure" has been verified in Louisi-
ana to degree that ought to set
her manhood to asking themselves
if the provisory system has not
overstsyed beyond all reason. It
was thirty-seven years ago, in 1868,
that the Black and Tan Constitu-
tional Convention overthrow the
old Democratic system of electing
all the officials from Supreme
Judges to Constable. At the "Re-
demption," in 1877, the political
exigencies suggested the prolong-
alton with ampli6cstions, of the
Black and Tax sppointive system.
In 1898, the restricted suffrage
came eliminating the niger" and
over half of the whites. The
change only served to consolidate

the shaky grip it held over the
provisory, which it has converted
into a psmpered Ark of Safety la

are with it still sailing along and
Haunting the emblems of Demo
cracy and doing q Cossack bust
ness in its name, just thirty-seven
years after. Aye, it is the provi-
sorry that lasts longest. for, how
few there are who remember that
night Of the 28th of August, 1862,
at the Second Manassas, when he
roic Gen. Ewell riding up into the
thickest of the fray, shouted:
"Louisianians, do you know mel!
Eyes, yes" was the soul stirring
response. "You are General
Ewell!" "Then, follow me men,"
was his quick retort. And those
Louisianisns fighting and dying
for freedom followed him to glory.
That was but one of hundreds of
similar exhibitions of the patriotic
fervor of Louisiana's manhood,
who would have spurned the
thought that their State would fall
into and be held indefinitely in
the qusgmires of the most debas-
ing bossism.

st. Martiuville, among the most
refined and exclusive Of all the

one of the most beautiful of these

The Fricate Bird.

Frigate birds are really to the sea
what hawks are to the land and this
supposition Is supported by the testi-
mcny OF a gentleman who has studied
/ them very closely-Mr. Palmer. the
gentleman who made the Hon. Walter
/ Rcthschild's wonderful collection Of
sea birds and their eggs. He records
tfat at Layson he often noticed the
frlgate birds snatch young one from
a nest and eat it. Sometimes. he says,
the parent bird would give chase. but
the matter always ended by one or the
other eating the young bird. They
would even take young birds out of
the nest that we're nearly full fedged.
Now that is a truly diabolical charac-
teristic. not shared by any other sea
bird, and hardly 70 be surpassed by
the all-embracing voracity and feroc-
ity of the vulture. There can. think
be but little doubt that the frigate
bird is close relation Of the pelican,
but his habits certainly entitle him to
be called the vulture of the sea. All
nGturalists agree that they are never
sn swimming; certainly have never
seen one do so. and as for walking
on land. il is almost an impossibility
for them. They are said TO roost up
on the branches of trees, a most IN
usual thing for sea birds to do, and
will not deny the possibility Of this.
But whenever have seen them
ashore. they have roasted and laid
their eggs and incubated among rag
ged rocks, where, by the aid of their
wings, they could futter heavily from
one irregulaity to another. A fiat
surface to walk upon is useless to
them. Their method of feeding again
is peculiarly hawk-like, and different
from that of all other sea birds. SO
great an authority and careful an OBJ
server as Charles Darwin. while not
stating that the frigate bird snatch
es it's food from the sea surface, says
that il the offal, etc which they desire
sinks more than six or eight inches be-
low the surface it is lost to them, as
they cannot dive like any other sea
fowl He also notes that such ia their
power of maneuyering upon the wing
that they can. and do, snatch the

thousand feet above the sea. almost
n,otionless except for the slow turning
OF the head from side to side and the

how wonderful are the powers given 1
to these birds. II is an object lesson /
