QUEENS HAUNTED YACHT

Vienna, Feb. Am extraordinary
story is being told here, on the au-
thority of n Buda-Pesth correspon.
dent. Some weeks ago the yacht
which the Inflated Servian Queen
Draga bought shortly before her death
was brought up the Danube to the
Hungarian capital by its purchaser, n
Belgrade merchant.
Owing to queer stories current about
the yacht difficulty had been expert
enccd in getting a full crew, and on
arrival at Buda-Pesth several men de-
serted. Two days later a dinner par
ty was held on board. A number of
idlers, attracted by the yachts tragic
association, were lettering on the quay
when suddenly frantic scream was
heard, and a beautiful young girl, in
evening dress but without her cloak,
rushed out of the companion way and
dashed along the gaugway to land.
The excited crowd attempted to stop
her and ask what was the matter, but
with the mysterious words, "The face!
The facet" she tore herself away and
rushed down the road.
Next morning rumor spread rapidly

and that hideously gashed head liv

"It is Draga's ghost" said the super
stitious.
On the following day the crew de-
serted in a body. The river authori-
ties ordered a guard to be set on
board. Difficulty was experienced in
getting anyone to spend the night on
the haunted yacht, but at last an old
waterman, named Birnham, was in
duced to go on board.
At daybreak he was hailed from the
deck by the man who had come to re-
lieve him. No answer was received.

An hour later three policemen, each
trying nervously to keep at the tail
of the procession, went on board the
yacht, and proceeded down the com

he had apparently been for several
hours, was the watchman. On his

With the percury standing down at

HARD WINTER FOR QUAIL
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS ARE

Of Mr.. Bob White Have been Slain.

to be Shot at.
Poor little quail.
This is hard winter for Mr.. Bob
White His race is suffering from the
severity of the season and 1t is esti-
mated by conservative authorities in
Norfolk that it will take another FIVE
years of careful protection before the
supply of this fine little bird, the best
friend the Nebraska farmer ever had
and the prettiest creature in the
woods of the west, shall again equal
the quantity that lived and sang and
flew about in the thickets of the au-
tumn of 1904.
Snow drifts so thick that the little
creatures are unable to get to the
ground-their real home-are >the
cause of the great falling off in their
ranks just now. And many a pot
hunter, unsportsmanlike and unskill-
full, is taking advantage of the help
less little feathered beings to slaugh-
ter them by the wholesale.
Their pretty feathers dampened by
the heavy falling of snow, the quail
whole families in covey-huddle up
under tree and, chilled by the wintry
winds, become unable to fly for any
great distance. They thus fall an
easy prey to the passing lad who had
gone hunting for rabbits, or to the
stray cat that catches as many as it
~pleases, or TO the fellow who should
be feeding them grain.
Starving to Death.
Unable to get at anything to eat,
with no place to stay but out, too tim
id to beg for food of the neighbOring
farm and yet as hungry as hungry can
be, the Bob White grows weaker and
weaker every day until, at length, he
lies down and dies. And just in this
manner hundreds and hundreds of
these little creatures, apparently pro
tected by the law of the state, have
been killed by starvation after suffer
ing in the snow.
Along every rural roadway the dead
of the quail family may be seen. And
for every bird dead may be counted up
right now hundred worms that will
come into existence next summer, to
thriveIon the farmers cabbages and
potatoes.
Now and then a quail may be seen
in the tops of tree, but he has been
able to get there only because that
particular tree had little sprouts hang,
ing far enough down to the ground to
make a ladder for him. He is unable
to fly today even to the top of one tall
tree.
DR.. j. H. Mackay, who had picked
it up on the roadside, Brought a
starved little bird into the city this
morning. merely as an example of the
hundreds that are going the same
route. One man said today that he
had seen, only last week, a hunter
with thirty eight of the birds as a
days bagging.
Not in long time before have there
been such frequent numerous flocks
of quail as there were last fall, and
not again for just as long, perhaps
will there ever be again.

Technical Education
New York World.

The predominant feature of modern
educational development is the evolu-
tion of the school of technology. The
ideas of Peter Cooper and of Stevens are
gaining ground. The dream of Walter
Besant is approaching realization. 1t is
in the Chicago Armour institute and in
Brooklyn s Pratt institute, in the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology. the
Troy Polytechnic and the Stevens insti-
tute that the present trend of educa-
tional advance is most directly reflected.
These schools of the arts are to the mod
ern world of scientific and industrial
progress what the great universities Of
Paris, Oxford, Cordova and Padua were
to the medieval. In England the great
new universities of Manchester, Leeds,
Sheffield and Birmingham tell the same
story.
1t is hardly more than half a century
since the schoolboys of Leipsic, as Max
Mueller relates, used their benches as
battering rams to break in the doors and
smash laboratory apparatus when the
government introduced the first courses
in physical science. Now the German
emperor is the friend of the new learn
ing and the nation follows him.

That murder will out" is being
abundantly proven these days in this
city. When Samuel Studzinski. the
old Russian Jew pawnbroker, was
killed in his lonely little shack on the
night of the 23rd of last August there
were many who predicted that owing
to the delay in finding the body and
the absence of any tangible clew, it
was likely that the perpetrators of the
horrible crime would never be discov-
cred and brought to justice. 1t is now
admitted by all that. through the un-
firing diligence of the members of the
sheriff's force and particularly of I'm

increasingly on the case, the horrible
