The migration of one rd-the American
golden plover-is of special interest. They
breed in June above the Attic Circle, far
beyond the tree line. By August they reach
Labrador where they fatten on the curlew
berry. They next move to Nova Scotia and
then strike right out to sea and often fly over
1900 miles of ocean waste to the Antilles and
sometimes not pausing in their flight until
they reach the South American coast. Here
they stop short time and then pass on to
Argentina and almost to Patagonia After
a six-month's vacation they start back toward
the Artic. What journey Eight thousand
miles of latitude separate the extremes of their
elptical course, and 5000 miles of longitude
constitutes the shorter diameter, and all for
the sake of spending ten weeks on an Artic
coast.
As to our New England birds-so species
they pursue their route along the coast to
Florida and pass thence by island or main
land to South America.
In general there are three routes traversed

CHOLERA RAGING IN MANILA
The Epidemic Confined Almost
Entirely to Native Population.
Health Authorities Have Thus Far
Been Unable to Stop Spread
OF the Disease.

Washington, D. G - Information
received by the Insular Bureau of the
War Department from Manila is to
the effect that cholera in very viru-
lent form is raging there. During the
week ending July A there were 116
cases and ninety-nine deaths from the
disease. That the health authori-
ties have thus far been unable to stop
the spread of the disease is indicated
by the further report that during the
twenty-four hours preceding 8
O'Clock a. M, were twelve cases and
five deaths reported from the prov
inces. During the same period in
Manila there were twenty-nine cases
which came to the knowledge of the
Health Department, twenty-three Of
which were fatal.
The situation has assumed very
grave aspect, and the authorities
have taken stringent measures to
stamp out the disease as speedily as
possible, but it seems to have gained
a Roadway which is regarded with
some apprehension. 1t is said that
the disease is confined almost en-
tirely to the native population, al
though several cases among white
persons have been reported. It is be-
lieved, however, that the army and
the civilian employees of the insular
Government have thus far escaped
from the ravages of the disease 1t
has been the practice Of the Philip
pine authorities to cable the names
OF employees of the Government in
case of death, and as none have been
reported in this manner it is thought
that there have been no fatalities
among them.
The islands have never been en-
tirely free from cholera, but up to
the present time the disease has been
practically under control, only an iso-
lated case having been reported to
the authorities from time to time
After an absence dating from
March FL cholera again reappeared
in Manila early in May, when there
were six cases and six deaths. Dur
ing May there were also fifteen cases
and twelve deaths from the same dis
ease in the provinces Every possible
effort was made to trace the source
of infection, but so far all attempts
have been unsuccessful. The first
case occurred in the person of beg
gar, who was known to have been in
the city for at least several weeks.
AS far as could be learned, he ate
only such food as is common to the
poorer classes. While it has not been
possible to trace any connection be-
tween the cases, yet they have all oc-
Cured in the district of Tondo, and
ali of them in houses that border on

RAILROAD REBATE TRIALS.
Former Chicago and Alton Officials
Accused of Granting Them.

Chicago.-John N. Faithorn and
Fred A. Wann, former officials Of
the Chicago and Alton Railroad, were
placed on trial in the United States
District Court on the charge of grant
ing Illegal rebates to the Schwarzs-
child & Sulzberger Packing Company,
of this city.
When a jury was obtained the
Court was informed that the counsel
in the case had agreed upon the facts
covered in the first eight counts of
the indictments, and that only small
amount OF evidence would be neces-
sary under the remaining two counts.
The indictments charge the de-
PENDANTS with granting rebate of
81 on every car of meat shipped from
It's plant in Kansas City. The de-
PENDANTS hold the money was paid for
another purpose. The last two
counts of ,e indictment charge that
the employees of the packing company
were carried by the railroad free of
charge, because after purchasing
tickets in the regular way they would
get receipts and the amount would
be returned by the railroad to
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, which
constituted a rebate.

GIRL SHOULDERS A MURDER
COnfesses to Killing a Youth After
Accusing Two Young Men,
Emma Stephany Tells How She Shot
Her Sweetheart James FrizznelI
While Celebrating the Fourth.

Pottsville, Pa-First duplicating
two young men of prominent fami-
lies in the murder of James Frizz-
nell, whose body was found in the
street on July 4, then clearing the
men and taking the blame for the
shooting on her own shoulders, EN-
ma Stephany. nineteen years old.
daughter of prominent merchant
Of this place. amazed the police by
the stories which she told. Because
OF the sudden change in her stories
the police are inclined to believe that
the girl is demented, and that
neither she nor the young men whose
names she told know anything about
Frizznells death Yet both her
stories at first glance appeared to
have the imprint of truth, and the
girl now is under arrest awaiting
the result of an investigation by the
police.
Frizznell's body was found in the
street on the morning of the Fourth
of July with bullet wound in his
breast. Among those whom the
police questioned in regard to the
shooting was Miss Stephany. She
said that she had seen the man slain.
and she mentioned the names of
those who she said did the shoot
ing. The police visited the young
men mentioned by the girl, but APP
parently they were able to prove
a complete alibi, for they were not
arrested.
The police continued their work
on the case. and they were sur
prised when the girl walked into
headquarters and said that she want
ed to retract the story she told and
take all the blame for the killing.
She, asserted that she shot Frizznell
accidentally with his own revolver
in celebrating the Fourth. She said
he loaned her the pistol and that she
meant to fire it in the air. She shut
her eyes when she pulled the trigger.
and when she opened them again
Frizznell was lying on the ground
with bullet in his breast.
