CARTRIDGES IN CAPTIVITY.

Dr Clifton F. Hodge, professor of biology at Clark University, is hay ing remarkable success in his efforts toward domesticating the ruffed grouse or partridge The latest achievement is the raising of second generation or the birds while they are in captivity. five strong healthy birds having been matched two weeks ago by the mother partridge.
 More could scarcely he desired than to have pair mate and produce their young in the back yard of a city home. So far as is known the birds have act ed exactly the same as their brothers in the woods, even to the curious act of drumming. They are just as large as those in the woods and are lively and contented. One of the old male birds seems to he especially delighted when Dr Hodge enters the enclosure in which they are kept and plays with the bird as one would with his pet cat. In no other case. so far as is known. has this species been anywhere near so perfectly domesticated.
 Dr Hodge began these experiments i'm the spring of 1903. when he obtaned some partridge eggs from the woods and matched them out under bantam hen. At the time he was laughed at for trying it. But after the chicks were hatched out. and it was seen that they were being raised. a member Of the Massachusetts Fish and Game Pro tectiye association who resides in wor- cester reported. the affair 70 meeting of the directors. which then voted sssSo to I,p given to pr Hodge in aid of his experiments.

 It is stated iy the Railway Age that although there are upward of 1000 miles of new railroad under construc- ton in the United States the mileage of track laid during the first half of the year is less than that for any simi- lar period since 1898. This does not indicate that the total for the year will be correspondingly small. for all though the official returns received show only 1.2s4 miles of track iaid from January to June 3I. on I22 lines in thirty-six states and territories. the additional road now actually under construction. as indicated by the same returns. aggregates more than 6.OOo miles--Meriden Journal

That this is day of specialists can not escape the reflections of anyone who considers the many positions which are being offered to young men with special educations. For instance, there are numerous opportunities offer ing every day to men who are gradu- ates of colleges of forestry. Both the states and large private lumber con- cerns are offering fine salaries to men of this class. The navy and the army are both looking for young surgeons. The Panama canal commission is look ing daily for large numbers of men who have ability and energy in almost any line and if they have special edu- cation such for instance as drawing, engineering, stenography, etc, they can command almost their own future, The young man who starts out in life without some special training is, how ever, seriously handicapped. AS the use of specialists increases, the supply of just plain clerks" grows greater in proportion to the demand and the re- suit is that this class of men are re- ceiving poorer pay than ever, while the necessities of life are constantly in creasing in price. despite the glowing arguments to the contrary which Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright was able to compile for cam paign purposes only"

Is Representative Blakeslee repre- senting or misrepresenting the people of. Waterbury at Hartford? That is the question a great many people are asking themselves these days. In his argument in favor of the school tenure of office bill yesterday, he said that the people of Waterbury wanted ,he bill passed. Never was wilder state ment made on the floor of the house and Representative Blakeslee has not particle of ground to stand on when he makes such an outcry. The only people of Waterbury that have been ! allowed to speak on this matter, have said emphatically that they do not want it, and this despite the argu- ments of Superintendent Tinker and Commissioner Larkin. Twice in the three or four days before the question was voted upon here by the teachers Superintendent Tinker appealed to the principals and teachers to vote for the bill He showed them by word and action that he was heart and soul in the movement, and wanted the bill passed, no matter what effect it would have on the schools. And still good | majority of the teachers voted against 1t, and the people of Waterbury would do the same, no matter what Represen- tative Blakeslee may say to the con- trary. Give us the square dear' that President Roosevelt writes and talks about, and which gained for him thou sands of votes in the last election. If the republicans of Waterbury are go- ing to the legislature every year to make life positions for some of their henchmen, what will be the result. The reaction is bound to come and Mayor Elton and others high in the party councils will , hear something drop when it does come. In spite of all the misrepresentation advanced by Water bury's representatives the tenure Of Of. flee bill was defeated yesterday as it should be. and so should Aexery bill that places man insofiice for life, whether it is the building inspector, the city engineer, the fire marshal or the superintendent of police. This is, or should be free country, and every man has rights which his neighbor is bound to respect. The governor of the state is not put in office for life, neither is the president of the United States, the man who advocates square deal, neither is the mayor of our city. He must take his chances in the battle of the ballots like any one else who seeks or is a candidate for office. Why then should lot of un- derstrappers and political heelers be foisted on a community and held in positions whether the people want them or not. It is an outrage on any community to do such a thing. and 1t looks as though the lawmakers at Hartford have concluded that Water bury has already gone too far in this respect. Home rule ought to be good enough for any community.

The resignation of Chief Engineer Wallace of the Panama canal commis- sion has not worked to the serious in jury of the government. as his place has been promptly filled. Neverthe- less, it was an unjust proceeding. So far he has spent practically his entire time acquiring a knowledge of the problems with which he was preparing to deal and his services in any other respect have not been worth any ma terial proportion of his salary. Hav- ing acquired this knowledge and now being ready to perfect his engineering organization. he might in the next year have proved of invaluable service to the government. whereas. as it is. a must spend many months acquiring the same knowledge which Mir Wallace has presumably acquired during the year just ended. People who know the new chief engineer. John F. Ste vens. predict great things for him. That he is an able engineer and an ex- ceptionally able administrator seems to he a fact beyond all question. and as he is not to be made member of the commission. at least until time has served to demonstrate whether or not he will prove congenial to Chairman shonts and Governor Magoon. there does not seem to be much prospect of friction in the commission in the near future

In the old days exposure of such conduct as Secretary Loomis was guilty of, when he was Minister to Venezuela, would have meant instant dismissal at the hands of the president. Now the president confounds his secre- tary's enemies by making him spec ial ambassador to France. And the French must not make fuss over this kind of ''shirt-sleeve diplomacy"

BROTHERLY TRUCKMEN.

Truckmen are pretty sure to De broth erly. when brotherly hand is needed. Here was such a hand extended in a somewhat unusual way.
 Halted in front of store in a down. town street was truck drawn up alongside the curb. while at the same time there was backing up to the curb in front of store on the other side and directly opposite a truckman with a big. empty truck to take on load. and coming. at the same time. up the street. which has heavy grade at this point. was a man with a three-horse team hauling a big truck with heavy load of some sort of manufactured iron goods.
 With the truck against the curb as II was on one side. and the truck of the man backing up on the other. pro jecting out as it would be with the truck in that position. there wouldn't be room for the team coming io get by; and the man coming up didn't want to halt his team. good one. but with about all the load 1t could handle on that grade. And so the man with the three-horse team. as he keeps coming right along. sings out to the man back ing up. who had already got his truck into position
 Say. Bill.-
 And Hill. without any hesitation slowed his truck out of position again and around diagonaliy lengthwise of inc curb on his side. so giving the man with the heavy load coming up ths grade room to pass

YOUNG TEDDY WAS PLUcKY.
Game With Yale Freshmen Was Too
Much for Him.
.cIal DIsnatch 10 The Star

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November is
Young Theodore Roosevelt was so repeat
edly pounded by the heavier Yale fresh
men in their game against the Harvard
youngsters this afternoon that he was
taken out in the second half and carried
of the field. While the Yale freshmen won
by 16 TO o. most of the interest was CEN
tered In the playing of Teddy at left end
ON the crimson eleven. He was outweighed
by every man on the Yale team. but showed
a dauntless courage in throwing himself
into every play. For the first few minutes
the Yale quarterback kept the plays away
from him. but once trying his end That
time Teddy nailed the big fullback in his
tracks. His opponent kept putting him
cut OF the way. but he always picked him
self up and was at the heels of the man
with the ball.
In the second half the plays began COM
ing his way. Time after time he was over
whelmed by the Blue team, but smiled and
went at the next man. He was rolled and
thrown repeatedly. which began to tire
him. In running down under a punt In the
second half the Yale infteld threw him
heavily. He got up, staggered but refused
TO quit playing. Another play quickly fol-
lowed, took the wind out of him again,
and he was fairly dragged of the field pro-
testing. When he reached the side lines
he dropped on the. ground and was car
ried TO the locker building. In the even
ing he had recovered. but was sore and
very weary.

HIGH SCHOOL IN RIOT.
Exciting Scene After Yesterdays Game
in Philadelphia.
Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 49,
After they had been signally beaten In a
hard-fought game with the Central High
School in the first intercity championship
foot ball game ever played in this city. the
Washington Central High School, defeated
but still loyal. determined to celebrate
whether or no. and began by burning guam
titles of red fire and pyrotechnics.
Their cries of defiance, however, angered
a number of rooters. and fight started at
the end of the game between the police and
both student bodies, which wa sa sort Of a
triangular set-to.
Later It developed into fight between the
students of both sides on the one side, and
the police on the other. An enthusiastic
rooter attempted to go on the field when
patrolman ordered him off. The rooter was
turning to go when the policeman struck
him in the face with the fiat OF his hand.
Then a student interviewed and was REIN
forced by his excited classmates. who arose
In body and started to protect their injured
comrade. In the scuffie policeman struck
a fourteen-year-old student, Anton T1ser OF
No. 1917 North 9th street, with his club,
inflicting a nasty cut In his scalp and al
most rendering the boy unconscious.
Then followed the widest jeers and the
enraged pupils were ready to mob the po-
Iicemen who were in charge where the out
break occurred Other patrolmen from all
parts of the grandstands came to the as
sistance, and stopped what looked for a
moment as IL 1t would result In panic
among the ten thousand students. All the
girls and women were screaming and nearly
in panic during the scramble, which for
a time threatened to attain the proportions
of riot.
Finally one cool youth got together a
squad and gave mighty yell. This quelled
the disturbance enough to allow the police
to dispense the thickest of the mob.
Afterward the students broke loose again.

GRAND STAND coLLAPsEs.
Less Than a Dozen Persons Hurt, None
Seriously.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. November b.
Weakened by the cheering and stamping in
unison OF two thousand people. the west
bleachers on Ferry Field collapsed this
afternoon ten minutes after the second half
of the foot bail game between Michigan
and Wisconsin had begun. Almost miracu-
lousy none OF the throng who were precipi-
tated to the ground was seriously injured.
The bleachers had no seats, being merely
a series of terraced platforms running up
to a height Of about twelve feet, on which
the people stood. This fact is believed to
be responsible for the lack of serious in
Juries. as If the two thousand people had
been sitting many limbs would have been
broken, IL no other injuries had been sus-
tanned. Less than dozen of the occupants
of the crowded stand We're hurt enough to
have a physician attend them.
Following are among those most painfully
hurt: Vern Huir, Milwaukee, Wis, hurt
about the head; F. w. Scott, Ypsilanti.
Mich; Joseph Ross. Ann Arbor, Mich;
John B. Strayer, Pittsburg
Twenty minutes before the stand crashed
down the officials discovered that 1t was
weakening and tried to have it vacated.
The occupants were foath to leave their
places, however, and few of them had
moved when the south end gave way.
The collapse was gradual and section after
section of the stand slowly caved in. The
nrSt CRASH OF breaking DoardS attracted
the attention of both foot ball teams and
the thousands in the other stands, and be-
fore the last section had entirely collapsed
the game had been stopped and both teams
We're running to tear down the fence sep
arating the gridiron from the broken
bleachers.
A tremendous cloud of dust rose as the
stand gradually went down. and many of
the people in the north end had time to
leap to the ground before that portion went
down. Hundreds of spectators rushed to
the rescue and in five minutes the few peo-
pie who had been caught by the broken
planks were freed. Men searched under
the wreckage for any possible victims who
had been buried, but there were none. Doc
tors from the crowd attended all of those
by the fall, and in fifteen minutes it was
known that no one had been seriously in
jured.
