THREE HIT THE ASPHALT
Robust Venice Bowling Alley Manager
Punished Boisterous Youths.
Postnistress' First Day

Special to The Herald
VENICE, April 2.-Windward avenue
was thrown into an uproar last nlsht
when Linn Sprague, manager or the
Venice bowling alleys after having
vainly endeavored to induce four bois-
ferrous. rum -befuddled youths to leave
his place quietly, was made the victim
of a foul-mouthed attack. 1t termin-
ated in the manager, who weighs 22O
pounds, alone and in the space OF
thirty seconds, Utterly wiping up the
asphalt pavement with his tormentors.
Just as Sprague finished the job to the
satisfaction of a large number of his
patrons Deputy H. Jones came along
and harvested three of the trio, the
fourth making his escape. They were
arraigned before Judge Wheat and al
lowed to depart on deposlting $40 pall
each. This morning Burns and Lewis,
as they gave their names, appeared for
trial and were fined $15 apiece, the
other fellow saving S. by his non-ap-
pearance.
That Adolphus Busch is negotiating
for Abbot Kinney's local holdings is the

BIRDS IN TEMPLE CHORUS
Fifteen Hundred SparroWs Become a
Nuisance, but Cannot Be Driven
Out in Philadelphia
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-It is
not every church that can have a bird
chorus in addition to its regular choir
and it's congregational singing. While
it cannot be said that Bethany temple,
at Fifty-fourth and Spruce streets, en-
joys this distinction, yet it is true,
nevertheless, that the services are ac-
companied by the singing of 1900 Eng
lish sparrows.
1t was while the windows We're being
put in place, and after the roof had
been completed, that the birds made
their ingress to the church. The work
men paid little attention to them, but
the birds are still there, and their
presence causes no little worriment to
the officers of the church.
They nest up on the big joists that
brace the roof, and during the day fly
about the church. keeping up a con-
tinual twitter
Were it not necessary to open the
windows occasionally to ventiate the
edifice the birds might be starved out;
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-03

but this seems to be impossible. Every
time a window is opened twenty or
thirty fly out aud go insearch of food.
If the windows are all closed when they
return they wait another opportunity to
re-enter.
Evening services are never disturbed,
for the birds have then gone to nest,
and the church singing evidently does
not arouse them.
1t is while prayer is being offered or
a sermon preached that the real an
noyance comes. The speaker has to
talk continuously against a twittering
chorus.
Last week the engineer planned to
drive the birds out by burning sulphur.
But some one suggested that perhaps
the birds would die, and that would be
Wholesale slaughter. The plan was
abandoned.

Fe TO put on a special fruit express
