GREATEST CROW ROOST.
Bounty to BE offered to Wipe Birds
Out of Existence.

Out of Existence.
Parsons Correspondents Topeka state Journal.
The fame Of Crows Roost on
Timber Hill may soon be history of
the past. The commissioners Of Labette
County are considering the plan OF
giving a bounty of five cents on crows
heads. and if such a scheme is carried
through. the slaughter viii be great in
the western part Of the county. Hunters
and sportsmen would be attracted in
droves to that place. because the most
/ conservative estimates place the num-
Der Of crows that nightly roost there
at a figure not less thai two or three
hundred thousand.
Crows Roost is a vicinity about
thirteen miles south and a little west
of Parsons. near Dennis. The land
there is very rough and covered with
scrub oak. Timber HrI is located there.
and the place is known best by that
name. It is only a few miles TO the
Montgomery County line.
Every evening about sunset the sky
around that place Is black with the
dense throngs Of crows that have come
for miles around TO roost in the hills
In every part OF Labette and Mont
feeding on the crops OF the farmers.
and when night comes they wish TO
visit the others and gossip over the
days events The noise in the evening
that they make can be heard for miles
When morning comes the birds fly
away to their daylight haunts again
with more cawing also making the
sky black with their numbers
Il is mystery how the farmers
living in the vicinity can raise any
crops. FlOcks of birds have been seen
40 settle on the nelds until the earth
was black, so thickly did they cover it.
Several visits like this 70 "a growing
field would be worse than the blights
of grasshopper days
The commissioners desire 10 help the
farmers in getting rid OF the nuisance.
They are now comforting with the
commissioners Of Montgomery County
i'm the matter, because at least
half of the crows belong TO that county.
Both counties may offer the b0unties
if they find it expedient and it will
not be too great drain on the county
treasury.

Refused TO sign Caruso Round Robin.

Mile. Olive Fremstad, Of the Conried
metropolitan opera Company, is not only
fine artist. but woman Of courage and
good sense When asked TO sign an utter
iy silly round robin, declaring it the be
lief of the Conried company and attaches
that Caruso was not guilty Of cutting
monkey-shines in the monkey house, Mile.
Fremstad refused, Her hard German sense
kept her from making herself ridiculous
oy expressing an opinion on a question
aDout which she could not phsslbly know
anything, and which ii was the duty of the
legal authorities 20 solve The idea that
such a round robin would influence courts
or legal officers would be an insult TO
them. It could have done Carusc no pos
slole good except on the theory that the
New York officials are weaklings and in
competents,

the first time the highest tribunal of
English science has nominated "a woman.
It was such an honor that it attracted
immense attention everywhere. and opin-
ion was expressed that the election Of a
woman was illegal. The Royal Society
tAereUpOn took the highest judicial opin-
Ion, which was that the council had no
power TO elect a woman. Therefore. Mrs.
AyTton cannot put the magical letters Of
I. R. 5. behind her name.
She is well-kuown in the United States
for she visited there six years ago, and al

AT sixteen. AIrs. Ayrton had graduated
and began TO earn her living as profes-
sor at CirtOn College, Cambridge. then in
its infancy as a college for women. She
was surely the youngest teacher in the
history of Girton. II was there that she
took up her first researches into mathe-
maucs and physics. She invented a sphy-
mOgraph for recording the pulse BEATS

ket. abandoned hers. and patented a line

equal parts.
Leaving Girton TO study electricity, she
entered the Ffnsbury Institute as spe-
cial student. 1t was there she met Prof
Ayrton, who was enc of the lecturers. It
was a romantic meeting-a case OF love
at first sight, for in few months time

After Nine Years Takes Up Research.
For nine years Mrs. Ayrton devoted
herself to her family life. Then, in 1893,
her husband was summoned to the United
States on business. His services have
often been asked as an expert by India.
Japan the United States. in fact, all
parts Of the world. In his absence Mrs.
AyTtOn continued his work. his investi-
cations and experiments on the electric
arc Seven years later. when his paper
on the subject, read before the Interna-
tional Electrical Congress. was unfortu-
nately burned in Chicago. Mrs. Ayrton
surprised her husband by writing a sub
stitute on the points he had noticed
which he declared was better than the

From that time on, She continued her
investigations on her own account. For
the past six years she has given the cleo

Correspondence Of The Washington Herald.
London, Dec. 2.-AIrs. Hertha Ayrton
who is already known 10 some extent in
America. can now claim recognition as
England's foremost woman scientist. She
IS the first woman in the world to be
awarded the Royal Society's medal for
her own unaided efforts in scientific re-
search. Nine. Curie has the medal, it is
true, but 1t was awarded 10 her jointly
with her late husband for their renowned
discovery Of radium.
Oddly enough, Mrs. Ayrton is also the
wife Of a renowned scientist; her husband
being Prof. W. E. Ayrton, the distinguish
ed electrical engineer and inventor. She
is to receive the Royal Society's coveted
medal on the last day of this month, the
occasion being the annual banquet Of this
world-famous body. It was awarded to
her at a recent meeting Of the society's
council because of her Investigations on
the electric arc. and also as to the nature
Of sand rippIes.
Nominated for +. X. $.
Mrs. Ayrton enjoys two other enviable
distinctions. She is the only woman MEM

 Washington. Oct r7-Presioeo' Roosevelt Ass lssed sn order today di- rect.ng Inspector General Earnest A. Darlington, at Ms0is, unless the Tveotv.6fh infantry, coloCed, gives the names Of the men who were tmph- estsd jn the disorders st Brownsville, Texas. to dishooorsbly discharge the entire regiment.
 Troops Of the Twenty-dtth intsnty, Isst spring, to the number Of 50 or 6o, s-nea with rifles, went through the streets oG Brownsville shooting PeTmis- cuous.v. Several citizens were killed on the street two or three saloons were entered and the bsrkespers murdered iu cold blood, and several women and children were wounded by shots 6red through windows Of residences. An attempts to get the names o' the culDrits who d,d the shooting failed as the men reiuSsd to divulge them. It was charged by officers of the state of Texas sod some federal officials who hsve investigated the matter that the officers ot the regiment were not en- tirely out of sympathy with the lswIess negroes. Not msu has been puuishd.
 The cause Of the action Of the negroes was that the white citizens compelled the colored troops to ride in the i'm crow cars and denied them the privilege Of entering resorts patron ized by white men. They refused to trest them differently thsn other ne- Eroes are treated.
 President Roosevelt st first took the ground that the racial feeling Of the Tezss white people was responsible for the outrage, and be ordered the s5an- doument Of Fort Brown rather than to humjliate the negro soldiers by ordering them out of Texas ss he wss requested to do by the state authorities.
 The order issued today indicates that the president has changed bis mind.
