Greatest of Bird Travellers.

AbACHdhBt.
 The greatest of bird travellers is pass ing through the United States on his way from Alaska to Patagonia. This is a distance of 10000 miles. and the night hawk, or "bill-bat," travels 1t twice a year to get away from the colo of winter. When winter begins iL Patagonia. South America, he flies away upon his long journey of 10000 miles. to the artic circle. When win ter begins there ne returns again to ths extreme southern most land fin south America. Thus he travels 10000 miles each year in search of climate that suits him. something that few human travellers ever do.
 A few of the advance guard of the main army of these migrating birds have already been seen on their way South. They may be seen any evening at twilight from now until cold wealth CT. fitting around. catching insects, but they remain only one or two even- ings and then are off for their winter home. What a vast panorama of seen. behold? Looking down upon millions of people, on towering mountains beautiful valleys. dense forests, nigh ty rivers. and the blue waters of the ocean.
 Nature h.S SO constructed the wingi Of this bird that 1t Is capable of long periods of Night. It scars through space without any apparent motion of It's wings and moves with the swift. ness of a speeding arrow.

It Is a significant fact that of tn. seventeen negroes who were tried ir the Recorders Court yesterday after all of the gang arrested Friday after. noon by Patrolmen Hammond and Huff man. in raid on George Newstell'i saloon on North Court Street. only one would admit, when on the wit. ness stand that he entered the saloon beer.

Every one, how. ever. according to their testimony was a hard working negro. whc "chanced" to be in the bar room al the moment the patrol wagon arrived for the prisoners.
 Patrolman Hammond testified that h, watched the crowd for about an hour the arrested negroes had stayed in tn, saloon. intently watching a game ol dominoes during that period. He nam. ed seven of them who were accustom- ed to loaf about the saloon, he hay. ing seen them there repeatedly.
 Of the seventeen negroes tried, four asserted they had gone into the saloon to eat lunches they took w~h them ter. another to purchase a cigar. sti! sell beer.

 Upon the conclusiOn of the evidence the attorneys for the negroes submit ted oral arguments. asking for the re- lease of the accused men on the ground that the ordinance against lettering was designed to catch only the man who did not work, but spent his time in idleness He also submitted the claim that theordinance in question did not apply to the arrested men. be- cause they were arrested for loitering in the salooon. instead of on the 'side- the technical wording of the ordinance made 1t an offense only to loiter in the neighborhood or in front of saloon. The men, when arrested, were on the inside of the building.
