JANIT0R's LITTLE JOKE
Turned on Himsslf By CArstaksr
 of the Green.

That was cruel joke Janitor Loughlin of the City hall played upon Caretaker McEvoy of the green day before yesterday, but he paid for his fun. Mir McEyoy found man in Gying condition on one of the benches and after assisting. him to the police station hurried away and commenced his daily rounds through the park. In the meantime a physician had exam. 1ned the man picked up on the bench and decided that there was nothing serious the matter with him. Later MT McEvoy dropped around to inquire how the patient was getting along an( in reply to query to this effect Mr Loughlin shook his head and remarked that the poor fellow was about all in. adding that the doctor had pronounced it full fedged case of yellow fever and instructed the health officer to send him to the isolated hospital and also see that everybody who had come in close touch with him be quarantined. The caretaker turned pale, looked up and down the street and was ill the act of walking into Harrison avenue and give himself up when he noticed the ianitor winlling his off eye and i'm mediately tumbled Putting his hand to his hip pocket and pulling out a 2 briar pipe, he turned quickly and aim ing it at Loughlin, yelled at him to go down on his marrow bones and apolo- gize else he would give him the con- tents of the gun. The janitor laughed, but the caretaker kept going nearer and nearer and apparently getting madder at every step and the custodian of the hall thinking McEvoy meant business promptly apologized, remark ing as he did so that it was a small thing to get red-headed about. T thought you could take joke Phil" he said. as he picked up the big brush and commenced to do some dusting. 'I can, Jack,' roared McEvoy, bub- bling over with laughter. but I didn't think you were such a baby" Then he held the old pipe out on his hand and invited the janitor to come down and inspect the pistol Jack cast al- ternate glances at the pipe and a re- porter who stood near by and then went on to explain that he was sim | ply making out that he was scared to give Phil chance to even up with | him. But this was not so. Loughlir thought he had trifed a little too fa- with McEvoy's patience and was sure he meant to kill him.

SEA BIRDS ARE DISAPPEARING
Many Species Have Become Extinct
 and Others are Threatened.

Many Species Have Become Extinct
 and Others are Threatened.
 No one knows better than the sailor or the shore hunter how the sea birds may be exterminated, and no one bet ter than the Indian or the trapper of the deep woods how sometimes the widest and most abundant land spe- cies may disappear. The wonderful great aux, or garefowl. has within the memory of men now living. been hunted from the face of the earth so that its skins and eggs are now worth their weight in gold. Practically the beautiful wild pigeon which once darkened the skies with its vast and cloud-like flight. has met the same fate. though small colonies of it in re- mote spots undoubtedly still exist The eastern pinnated grouse is also practically extinct Tn the Chatham Islands alone in the Pacific. 1T species of birds have become extinct.
 On all the islands of the sea and at all the shore spots to which sea birds resort the work of slaughter is beiag carried on quite relenflessly. Large ly for purely humane reasons and in- cidentaIIy in the interest of science. the National Association of Audubon societies is engaged in the work of trying to save the binds from exter- imitation. Several species are being systematically destroyed for their feathers. Fashion. of course. docs not care whether these beautiful cTea- turps are exierminated or not. The scaTcer they lecome ID to the point of their actual disappearance the greater are the prices realized for their feathers and the deeper the ioy taken hv the wearer of the ornament. And when at last they are all conc- why. there will be another of Goi's creatures to put through the same process
 This association has 40 vsrsfens guarding some of the key colonies of these sea binds. This may guarantee them from total destruction at pres ,euf. but does not insure the mzinten- sucp of the birds of the species in question in such numbers as to render their preservation sure Instead of ~ vsriens the society ought to have 9o-Nev York Mall

GROVER NOT a FIGUREHEAD

Your Uncle Grover Cleveland
evidently does not propose to be
merely a dummy trustee of the
Equitable. He is taking an active
interest in its affairs and has very
decided views of his own as to how
affairs should be managed. Among
other things he is said to favor:
Cheaper insurance for the masses:
greater economy in management;
smaller expenditure for new bust
ness; elimination of Wall street
control; thorough naturalization;
retirement of the capital stock;
severance of all trust company or
subsidiary company connections;
suppression of the rebate evil;
abandonment as rapidly as posi-
BILE of the deferred dividend poll
cy. Mr.. Cleveland holds that the
trusteeship or dictatorship of an
insurance company is "public
trust,' and he will proceed on that
theory with his usual determine
ton. He has never been figure
head, and he will not be one now.

ATTACK ON HON. o. 3. STEVENS.

In recent issue of the Atlanta
Journal, probably after consulta-
ton with Hon. Pope Brown who,
it seems, would have been pleased
at reappointment as railroad COM
missioner, that paper proceeds to
jump on Hon. 0. B. Stevens and
characterizes him as a schemer;
and only because he has risen to
merited prominence and enjoys the
esteem and entire confidence of the
people of Georgia.
Such, seemingly, was the pur-
port of a leading editorial in it's
issue of Sunday.
The statement made by the Jour
nal, that Mr.. Stevens legislative
record was always subservient to
the railroads. is wholly untrue, for
it is a well known fact that but for
the vote and personal influence of
then Senator O. B. Stevens the
Hon. Robert L. Berner would new
er have been elected president of
the Senate in 1896.
Mr.. Berner's opponent, the Hon.
Harry Dunwoody, was generally
supposed to have behind him the
influence of the railroads in his
race for the presidency.
In this very spirited contest Mr..
Berner triumphed, and it is a mat
ter of record that he received the
votes of Hon. O. B. Stevens, Hon.
T. G. Hudson, Hon. Phil Cook,
Hon. Charles Gray and other SEN
ators from this section of the state,
as well as the cordial support of
many other distinguished gentle
men, whom the Journal now char
acterizes as "hirelings" Of the
railroads.
| Many of these same gentlemen,
now holding positions of trust and
responsibility, have not changed
their opinions as regards Mr.. Ste
vens. They do not blow hot and
cold by turn, as does the guberna
tOrial candidate of the Atlanta
Journal.
The people of Georgia have fol
many years trusted Hon. O. b
Stevens as commissioner of agri
culture, and have not found him
wanting in any particular; and ne
manner of attack made upon him
by those who fain would fill his
political shoes will ever sway the
people against one so loved, hon.
Ored and trusted.
i And when in October Commits
siOner Stevens assumes the respOn-
sibilities of the office to which he
has just been appointed, he will
be found doing his whole duty as
! heretofore. And the Times Re
! cOrder bespeaks for him a wise,
lust and honorable administration
of affairs, 81 giving alike to the PEG.
lple and the railroads the benefit 'o1
his sound Judgment and business
acumen.
No amount of petty criticism
from the "outs" who fain would
be with the Gins" will ever swerve
10. B. Stevens from giving to the
people and the railroads equal
j Justice without favor and without
fear.
