The story of the early life, transfer

quail is the most remarkable that is

RETURN OF. WILD PIGEONS.

John Burroughs' View OF F1ocks Re-
ported Seen In Sullivan County.
John Burroughs, the author-natural-
ist, has returnedsto West Park from a
trip to Sullivan county, N. Y, where
he passed some time investigating re.
ports that wild pigeons had been seen
recently insthatilscaiity, says a POUCH.
keepsie dispatch to the New York Sun.
Mr.. Burroughs was In Poughkeepsie
recently. He said:
II have seen the men who saw the
birds and have every reason to believe
that they are telling the truth. Some of
them knew the passenger pigeon in the
eA days, and 1t is not likely that all
have been mistaken In the identity or
the birds seen lately"
Thirty or forty years ago immense
fiocks Of wild pigeons frequented the
Hudson river valley. They disappeared
suddenly, and it was supposed that
they had been exterminated by ruth.
less slaughter. The sequence of events
indicates, however, that they were
driven away and sought new feeding
and resting grounds In other parts OF
the globe, perhaps In the southern part
Of South America.
Recently docks of considerable size
have been reported In Sullivan county,
and two focks have been seen along
the Hudson, one few days ago by
Elting Van Akin OF Tower Hill farm,
near Port Even.

constitutional points than has ever
been heard in the senate within the

Of the senate are mighty careful what
they say on constitutional point, as
the law which they are trying to con-
struct will eventually be passed upon
by the supreme court of the United
States. The latter body in constituting
the law is In the habit of studying
closely the debates in congress that
were had while the laws were being
formed. Forthis reason constitutional
experts like Senators Knox, Spooner
or Bailey are very careful to have
their arguments well thought out be-
fore delivering them.
Senators do not care to have their
names associated with law declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court.
They have good deal of pride in
their own knowledge and ability and
they are anxious to put up to the SUI

Mr.. Moody has been one OF the very
hard working members Of the cabinet
and as attorney general he has had an
unusual amount of big work to attenf
to. He has not been in as robust
health as formerly and his close appli-
cation to his duties has worn him
down until he has lost very consider
ably in weight. He is not the stout
rotund figure he was when he entered
the cabinet. His face is thinner and
shows the lines of worry and work.
Before he left the navy department he
met with severe accident while on
an official visit to the naval academy
at Annapolis. The horses attached to
his carriage ran away and Mr.. Moody
was thrown out of the vehicle and So

been noticed that since that accident

STILL AFTER CUP
SIR THOMAS Upton FINDS DE.
s1GNER FOR NEW YACHT.
How the American Yachtsmen Feel
in the Matter Of Another Chal-
ienge for Race Upon
the Sea,

Sir Thomas Upton, after long and
persistent hunt, has found a designer
to plan and superintend the construc-
ticn of new challenger for the Amer
ica's cup, which he has tried unsuc-
cessfully three times to lift. Mr.. AL
fred Myline, Of Glasgow. is the man,
and it is said he has been commits
stoned to build a racer for Sir Thom-
as which will beat anything the Amer
ican yachtsmen can put into the water.
But the news of Sir Lipton's plans
has not excited much interest among
the yachtsmen of New York further
than to elicit from them the remark:
$50 Sir Thomas intends trying for
another match. Well, he may be ac-
commodated, but then the cup matches
are troublesome"
With the talk of another series Of
international yacht races, arises the
question as to whether the event would
be governed by the new or the old
rules. Since the last yacht race new
yachting rules have ben adopted, but
the feeling among the Americans is
that they could accept no conditions
which would bar the Reliance from
the race, and If the winner of the
contest with Shamrock III. is to de-
fend the cup again the races would
have to be sailed under the old rules.
Fife was the designer of the Sham.

er short and we'll aft. The boom and
gaff were very long, the jib very large
and the .bowsprit consequently long.
while the clubtopsail was jumbo.
When the wind blew hard the gae
bent and the boom did likewise, max
ing tight place in the mainsaii; the
mast went forward and the big jib
went off to leeward, really making it
a backsail.
And yet the designer Of this boat
had wide experience in all kinds of
craft, but overlooked the points that
make large one-masted vessel sue

Watson was genius, and, beginning
with small boats, gradually worked up
to those of the largest size. He pro.
duced the best boat that ever came
over here for the cup. She failed
