big dining hall in the state house ro-
tunda will accommodate about 500,
though by extending the tables out

Two years ago.. h piece de re
of the banquet was a big
hot. juicy beefsteak. Last year it was
green corn on the cob. This year it
will be mock duck. What is mock
duck? That is a secret; possibly a
dark and bloody secret. Ask the Off
GERS Of the club the question. What
is mock duck % and they will smile,
look wise. and say, You wait and see.
It will beat anything we eve had"
There is a suspicion ina mock duck
may b. another name for something
which, under the provisions of he
new game law, must not be sold at
his time of year. There is no law
against killing mock ducks. Secretary
Luther Nellis says. in confidence, that
mock ducks are really skyIarks, i'm

Alps.
There will be orchestra music at
the banquet. and also 10 cent cigars.

ENGLAND'S STREET
CARS PECULIAR
Old-Fashioned, But Safer
Than American.
D0UBL E-DECKERS USED

An interesting bit OF side light is
obtaining in some parts of England by
Consul Mahin, at Nottingham, in his
recent report submitted to the State
Department. Consul Mahin writes at
length on municipal ownership in the
British provinces and makes known
some methods there which would mani
fsSuy not find favor with American
corporations.
Traffic Decreased.
In his consular district Mr.. Mahin
writes, the tramway traffic has mate
RALLY decreased during the past year
because of the closing of suburban
exhibition. Thus it is seen upon what
agencies the street car traffic in some
parts of England is dependent.
The cars are all double deck, n primi-
tive construction which yet finds favor
among the English. and in Difference to
the health and well being of its Gus
toners the company has fitted out some
OF these entirely closed while others
have the open top compartment.
One Fatality.
While the American press is filed day
after day with accounts of street car
accidents, deaths during the year
amounting to the hundreds. the remark
able statement is made by the consul
at Nottingham that during the past
year but one fatality has occurred on
the street car service in his district.
Still further and not the less surpris-
ing Information is given that the last
death of this kind to be reported was
in January. 1902 Since that time the
mi n
the city's streets and have carried
$1,000 900 passengers.
