ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
General and Personal News of Mont
gomery County.
nee of The Star

Special Correspondence of The Star
ROCKVILLE, Nd. March 10. 1906
! A largely attended mass meeting of the
citizens Of Glen Echo. this county was
held last evening in the town hall there to
consider the proposition to bond the town
for the purpose of purchasing the water
works and sewerage system instituted there
someyears ago by the National Chautauqua
of Glen Echo. DIR. F. L. Woodward pre-
sided and Mr.. John r. johnson acted
secretary. The matter was fully discussed,
among those who addressed the gathering
being Mayor John a. Garrett, Arthur c.
Houghton. John L. Husband. Capt. VIII
liam H. Roach and others. A committee,
composed of Messrs. Arthur c. Houghton.
John L. Husband, George w. O'Brien, Jas.
A. Moran, Bruce Aldrich and DR.. Wood
ward, was appointed to give the matter
very careful consideration and report at
a meeting of the citizens of the community
to be held next Friday evening.
The point has been raised that the prop
erty referred to already belongs to the
town of Glen Echo; that it was instituted
by the Chautauqua Company for the use
of the citizens of Glen Echo, and that the
plant became the property of the corpora
ton of Glen Echo when the town was in
corporated There is q decided difference
of opinion among the citizens as to this,
however and it is said to be among the
probabilities that the courts will be asked
to pass upon the question.
A bill authorizing the mayor and council
of Glen Echo to issue bonds in the amount
of 81, 900 to buy the plant and place 1t
In repair is now on its way through the
legislature. 1t has already passed the
house of delegates and will probably pass
the senate within a few days This meas
ure provides that the question must be sub
mitted to vote of the citizens OF Glen
Echo for ratification or rejection. Some
weeks ago the plant was acquired by sew
eral residents Of Glen Echo. who paid the
National Chautauqua Company 5000.
Their object in purchasing the property
was to hold it for the town and prevent
private parties dealing with the Chautauqua
Company. The plant originally cost $4,000.
The water is supplied from reservoir
filled by seven springs. The water Is said
to be OF the purset character and the sup
ply inexhaustible.
Minor Morris. through his attorney
Frank Higgins of this place, has instituted
suit In the circuit court at this place for
an absolute divorce from his wife, Lucy
Jane Morris alleging desertton. Mr.. Hig-
gins has also brought suit for divorce for
Mrs Hibernia Elizabeth Jones against her
husband, John z. Jones of Washington,
upon the ground of desertion.
Mr. Winfred Berry has purchased from
Mrs George S. Mccormick a house and lot
in the western section Of Rockville for
81 $50 The Maddox building, opposite the
court house, has been sold by the heirs
of the late Dr. Charles J. Maddox TO Mr.
Edward c. Peter OF this place. Mr.. Peter

EXTINCTION OF WILD ANIMALS.
The Rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, Lion,
Tiger and Giraffe Are Doomed.

From the Indianal oils News.
Recently published transIations from the
German writings OF &. b. Schillings the
noted African traveller and animal photog-
rapher. have been interesting a good many
peonle in this country. Mr.. Schillings has
an enthusiasm for this sort of scientific in
vestigation that has carried him TO dar-
ing lengths in the achievement of his pur-
pose lie realizes that the larger animals
OF Afrfca,-the elephant, the lion, the
giraffe. etc-are rapidly becoming extinct;
that In a few more generations the WORD
will know them only as 1t now knows the
dodo; ard for this reason he has under
taken to make an accurate and scientlhc
record of their existence In their natlFS
habitat To do this he has gone into the
widest parts of the dark continent ana
photographed these animals in their wild
state.
And vet. with all his scientific enthu-
sfasm 1T seems that Mr.. Schilings could
not always resist the temptation 10 take
shot at these unsuspecting beasts, which
were uuknowingly exposed to him In his
covert On one occasion he even killed
four lions in one day. This, We are AFRAID
was killing for the mere sake OF Killing
which is the slaughter that Is now making
extinct some OF natures most remarkable
productions. With Its economical useful
ness, 1t IS likely that the elephant will, in
the course of time, take the status or the
camel in the orient, and never become ex-
tnct But the others are doomed. The
girafres are almost gone The rhinoceros
and the river horse" are becoming rare,
and lions grow scarcer year by year. And
this is largely because of the killing for
sport Some OF these animals, TO be
sure. are dangerous. but Africa is large
place Under fair and undisturbed condi-
tions they live to themselves and inJure no
one.
What the purpose of the existence OF al
these animals Is may not know but II
the economy of nature II Is reasonable TO
assume that there is some purpose. ana
from this point of view their slaughter Is
lamentabIe. In the course or long enough
time no doubt they will become extinct
through the mere changing OF conditions.
AS the settlements or men encroach more
and more on their native Businesses they
will deteriorate and lessen In numbers like
our Indians. But in such q continent as
Africa these conditions are a long way on.
Meantime is 1t not worth while 10 give the
antnals-the real African autocthons-a
chance to live what is probably their al
iotted time on earth In such peace as their
rood behavior will permit The same ar
guments can be made In favor Of the bears
and bobcats OF our own western states.
The eIauzhter OF the pufrafo should teach
US some valuable lessons.
