Driver Makes a Statement.

Mr.. William A. Carson. a driver for the

in the Ice business for about quarter OF
century. stated this morning to Star re-
porter. referring to the indirect charge al
legged to have been made and referred to in
the foregoing, that until this year when Ice
became scarce he and the drivers on other
wagons OF the American Ice Company. on
regular routes throughout the city, were in
structed not to hold purchasers OF small
pieces of ice down TO the exact amount al
lowed for the money. According to the
rules of the company ten pounds OF ice
were TO be gwen for five cents, but In order
to compete with outside dealers the drivers
were allowed to give thirteen to fifteen
pounds for the money. When ice became
scarce this season the drivers have been
giving customers exactly ten pounds for Ave
cents. The purchaser is now getting what
they purchase. with nothing over the rate
being Atty cents per hundred pounds In
lots OF less than twenty-five pounds.

Show of Relief,

There is some prospect that the scarcity
of Ice In this city will be relieved within
the next twenty-four hours by the arrival
of a vessel with ice aboard but the relief
will only be temporary, unless other YES
sells follow this one in quick succession. The
tug William II. Yerkes. Jr., is on her way
up the river with a barge and a schooner
IN tow, and the schooner Is believed to be
the Alice Holbrook, with about loo tons
OF Maine ice aboard for the American COM
pany. The tug and her tow should arrive
here during tonight, and If II is the Hoi-
brook her cargo should he available tomor-
row morning
1t is reported that the four masted schoon-
er Estelle Phinney has sailed from Boston
for the Maine ice fields to load for this
city, but the cargo she will bring viii not
be available for three weeks or a month.
Conditions in the city are about the same
as they have been since Friday last but
1t is stated the cooler weather is having its
effect on the demand, which was consider
ably lighter this morning. In that degree
the situation in the city Is being relieved,
and possibly a little over two-thirds of the
supply wanted was sent out from the vari-
Gus ice-making plants and storage houses
of the city, and distributed among the
various householders and larger establish

AN ODD BIRD.
The Kivvi of New Zealand Has Som
Remarkable Peculiarities.

The Kivvi of New Zealand Has Some
Remarkable Peculiarities.
That queer bird, the kiwi, is native
of New Zealand. Its remarkable pc
culiarities are, first, TN apparent alb
sence of wings, as the plumage so
covers the small, rudimentary, stick
like appendages of wing that none
whatever is apparent. The situation
of the ncstrils at the bills extremity
is q second peculiar feature. While
hunting for earthworms it probes the
soft ground, making a continual snuff
ing sound. Thus the scent Is evidently
of great help, in finding food and the
reason for the position Of the nostrils
quite apparent.
A third popularity is the very dispro-
pertionate size of the egg in compari-
son to the bird, it being a little less
than one-fourth the birds own weight.
One kiwis egg found weighed four
teen and one-half ounces, while the
bird weighed just under four pounds
(sixty-four ounces) and was about the
size Of an ordinary hen.
The plumage Of the kiwi is. dull
brown streaked with light gray, and
the body resembles a miniature hay
shock, rather badly hacked off at the
rear part, as nature has not provided
the kiwi with such decoration as a tail
The absence of wings is compensated
for by its swiftness Of foot, and the
large. clumsy looking legs, which are
sometimes used as weapons, are placed
far back on the oddly shaped body
