fully brought north. They are deck
passengers at first, but as the weather
grows cold with the ships progress
they are penned in warm rooms below
regular staterooms.
It's a different treatment that they
get, though, at the natives hands. If
a native is bringing turtles north he
nails them fast to the deck by their
fippers. Strange creatures that they
are, they seem to suffer little under
such cruel treatment.
The calipee and calipash are re-
spectively the flesh from the breast
and back of the green turtle, tid-bits
which l have heard ~epicures say are
u%nequaled in the earth beneath, the
heavens above or the waters under
the earth. This meat is s~uperlatively
rich, delicate and tender. Live green
turtle fetches wholesale from a dime
to a quarter a pound.
What makes the meat so expensive
in the end Is that out Of a 140-pound
fish you'll only get two pounds of
calipee and m Of calipash. Several
times when there has been a tight
turtle market the chefs Of mi:lionaires
and OF certain extravagant hotels
have offered me 81 a pound for live
turtles. AT that rate your calipee and
calipash would come to quite $50 a
pound.

Secret Sign on Ar Envelope the Cause
Of Present System.
Quite recently there has been more
or less discussion as to the origin Of
the postage stamp.
Perhaps the most authentic story is
that which comes from the p%ostofaoe
department at Washington.
1t appears that about sixty-fve
years ago Rowland Hill was travelling
through n Of the northern districts
of England and for a time was So
journing in an inn where the postman
came with a letter for a young miss,
who turned it owe and over In her
hand, and after examining the envel-
ope infinitely, inquired the price Of
the postage. which was a shilling. She
sighed sadly and returned the letter
to the postman, saying that it was
from her brother, but that she had no
money.
Mr.. Hill was an onlooker and was
touched with pity. He paid the post
age and his action seemed to 1mbar-
rass the girl. When the postman
had gone she told Mr.. Hill that some
signs marked on the envelope con-
veyed to her all she wanted to know
and that al q fact there was no writ
ing inclosed. In extenuation she said
that she and her brother had con
trtved a code system Of communica,

rditnr of Tha Star:


You published in your columns on Friday
March %. an account of an occurrence Which
causes us to wonder whether civilization or
brutality will hold sway in this enlightened
Community. I refer to the wholly unpro-
yoltsd assault of a white man upon colofed
men In an electric car on 14th street, having
for its object the forcing of the colored men
To give ,ip their seats, for which they had
maid and which they rightly occupied, to
white ladies who had entered the car later
than had the colored men. Iwould like to ask
whether the idea fostered by The Clans
man Is to prevail In this community, and
whether the colored people are to be brutal
ly treated? 1t Is well for US to look into
this matter We have right on our side.
Let me tell the colored people of this city
that this right is our might. If we fail TO
recognize the tendency of this outrageous
conduct the ferocity OF the attacks upon US
will become intensified. Already l have
heard testing over the discontinue of the
colored men It is regarded by some as an
act that was the negro's just due. NOW
this Is going long way back into Gays De-
fore the war of the rebellion. If all the OPP
nress,on is to be re-enacted and all the
relics OF slavery will be made to rise up
again In this community venture the as
sertion that the free people who are now on
deck will exercise that eternal vigilance
which lie the price of liberty. and which they
have learned through the education of our
public schools.

there been anything but a prompt denial
from Wisconsin that the crew would not
be represented.
Mr.. Downer says that since tho action OF
the faculty on foot bah, such confusion has
retgned that every sport IL paralyzed. The
crew men have slipped into the same state
as the base ball players At first the latter
were sure that the nine would be able to
get together and play. But as day after
day went by without faculty action on the
question OF foot bali. dragging with 1t the
question OF financial support for base ball
the players gave up hope. Now there Is no
base ball team. The crew men have fol-
lowed the same path.
There Is almost no hope that the Wiscon-
son crew will be on the Hudson this spring
The Wisconsin crew recently bought new
launch, and that was taken to mean that
the crew intended to do business. regard
less. But the launch cut Just 1900 from
crew. and now with foot ball definitely
wiped out and only a small surplus left
In the treasury, things are far from happy.
IfSthe people of the state of Wisconsin
get together and raise money to send the
crew east again this year. as In past years
they have had to do occasionally. the Wis
consin boat will be seen at least once more
competing on the Hudson.
But at Wisconsin the sentiment is that
1t Is useless TO ask the money from the
people of the state. Suppose we do go
this year" Is the argument, st will be our
last. Until foot BAH Is resumed all sports
are dead at Wisconsin. So we might as
well give up now, sell the launch and settle
down to minor sports"
Mr.. Downer says: Mr.. IDEAS resigna-
ton has been accepted and l understand
that he will go into business. Recent fac
ulty action has made impossible the much
desired re-engagement OF Phil King and
Edgar Holt of Princeton. our foot ball
coaches of last year. Base ball is dead for
the year, the crew will not be likely to go
east, and there may be no track schedule.
The situation Is not hopeless, but 1t Is dis
