BIG GAME BIRDS.

The capercailzie. or black game
bird of Norway" is one of the largest
Of game birds in the world, being very
hardy and frequently attaining a
weight exceeding fifteen pounds, but
when the birds are young they are
easy prey for hawks. The birds are
what are known as rangers" for the
reason that while in quest Of food
they cover a wide expanse of terri
tory. During periods Of heavy snow
fall they burrow into the snow and
remain until the storm subsidies before
venturing out again. Their food in
winter consists chiefly of birch buds
and in summer they catch mice and
other small animals. They are rated
as members Of the grouse family and

THE PRINTERS STRIKE.

The STR Ike roll In Chicago has been
abolished. Some few men are receiv-
ing special assistance when needed.
An active fight is being continued
against the Teapot shops, however.
The strike expenses have been cut
from over $1,000 a day a. year ago to
less than $500 per week. There are
more union label offices than ever
and No. 16 has a larger membership
by two or three hundred than at any
time since its organization. That's
going some.

Minneapolis, Feb. 1.-Organized la

sistance Of those who are promoting
the anti-tuberculosis congress and ex-

apolis Feb to IL. One Of the first
official acts Of Thomas Van Lear,
newly elected president of the Trades

was to prepare a circular letter which
was sent out Monday to every local
union in the state. The text of this
letter, which is sent out under the
letter head Of the assembly, is as fol-
lows:
The twenty fifth annual convention

known as the tuberculosis committee

)year killing about 100000 persons in
the United States. It is also known
that it is both a preventable and cur
able disease, that seeks it's victims
among men and women in the prime
Of life. One-third Of all who die be-
tween the ages Of 20 and 40 die of
tuberculosis, and, of course, the lar
gest proportion Of these are wage
earners. Statistics also show that the
death rate is less with organized
workers than with unorganized work.

tons demanded by organized labor.
Should know More.
We should know more about the
prevention and cure of this disease.
We must reach the we'll people in Or
der to prevent the spread of this dis
ease. Not only should union men at
tend the meetings of this society, but
they should take along their families
and friends.
The enclosed circular will give all
necessary information, and we hope
you will make full announcement to
your union. Remember the date, Feb.
2 to IL. at the courthouse and city
hall, Minneapolis.
The cause and prevention of tuber-
culosis will be most Thoroughly ex-
planned during the course of lectures
and eminent speakers from all parts
OF the United States, as we'll as local
speak ers, will give lectures during
these meetings. Local unions, If pos
stble, should attend at least one of
these meetings in a body. knowledge

Like trampled flower she lay there,

Eight sad years since she was born.
Then her vererish fancy wakens.
And she whispers, loud with fear
Mammal! Hurry! There's the whistle;

And I'm such little girl.

Stop them. Oh, it hurt me so!'

THE GYPSY PEST

N UR police board should defend the
city from the regular annual in
~ fiux of gypsies and itinerant horse
traders. on the ground that these people
are standing menace to sanitary con-
ditions. To permit these very unde-
sirable people to camp on our outskirts
and invite disease is a wrong to the
whole population.
Our exchanges from northern local
tiles, where these people have spent a
profitable summer, tell of the bad ef-
fects of their visits, in debauching the
weaker minds with alleged fortune tell
ing and public begging from door to
door. often accompanied by insulting
language and threats.
The live stock they trade in is always
of the poorest and the plea of regular
local dealers who pay rent and license
for the privilege of trade should have
weight with the board.
All large cities have ar element of
weak minded men and women who
patronize these nomads and the local
courts can testify to the troubles en-
gendered' In homes and business by the
tricky methods of these people, In no
sense are such people desirable, and the
policy OF the board should be to make
Los Angeles as undesirable to them for
regular winter siege, as they unques-
tionably are to the city as residents.

THAT OLD ENGLISH

1A last was "hot number" but
must have made the friends Of big John
Finerty and the denizens of Archie
road warm in the collar English roast
beef. ale and songs for the Cudahy
brothers must have been "crow," with
the feathers on.
1t was the head of the Cudahy house
who won fame by stating that the sure
way to prove man an Irishman was
to examine his right great toe, and if it
was hairless he was the simon pure
article, because the hair that ought to
be there was burned off in youth in
ralxing "spuds" from the ashes.
Appropriate Shakespearean quota
tions are esaid to have been on the
dishes. A sirloin of beef was labeled:
"Now may good digestion wait on appetite
And health ON bethi'
The true Irishman who ate of that
beef must have felt a pain under his
vest If he recalled Tom Moore's:
Thus Freedom now SO seldom wakes,
The only throb she gives
Is when some heart indignant breaks,
To show that still she livesl"
When he recalled the prosecutions of
the packers. extending to all sections of
this fair land. for putting coal tar
products and embalming fluids in timed
meats and marketing pigs bristles for
camels hair, he must have felt a pang
as he recalled Moore's beautiful invita-
tion paraphrased:
Come ye dsconsolate. whereof We languish,
Come to the mercy seat. fervently kneel,
Here bring your wounded hearts, mere tell
your anguish
Canned beef has no sorrow that packers
cannot heal"

WASTE OF FUEL

A. HOLMES of the United States
geological survey forces is out
" in a timely warning to all large
producers and consumers of fuel, espe-
cially coal. and claims that the present
rates Of waste and consumption will
bring a famine by the end of the
present century. The one sure remedy
which he proposes is the stopping OF
the enormous waste Of coal both in dis
carding at the mine much that can be
used II cleaned, >and leaving pillars
underground to support roofs of mines,
when other waste material can be used
for such purpose.
To the layman it seems both these
questions may be safely left with the
owners of mines, who are the greatest
beneficiaries, and that deeper digging
also will come in time, when lack OF
supply forces it. The wonderful expan-
sion in the use of steam engines Is a
result Of advance in the work of the
race in all lands, There are doubtless
thousands of coal deposits yet to be
discovered that will increase the supply.
The fuel possibilities in the SUMS heat
are vet in the experimental stage, but
invention and scientific knowledge have
always kept pace with human needs
and always will. There can be no ques-
ton of the need for avoiding waste IN
mining and marketing coal.

RATES AND REBATES

nRESIDENT RIPLEY of the Santa
Fe and other presiding railroad
n officials whose roads are under
charges for maladministration in the
matter of rates and rebates are "squeal-
ing because of alleged wrongs to their
bond and stockholders and investors in
their securities, through the attitude Of
the public toward their roads and man
agement.
President Stevens of the Chesapeake
& Ohio says: sit would seem to be
the interest of the community and peo-
pie that revenues should not be less
ened, that the yield may be what share
holders may rightfully and reasonably
expect" and President Delano of the
Wabash says: while the new rate
laws remain in force they must seri-
ously affect our revenues"
{, The people arise to say that these are
the exact results they expected from
The enforcement of the new rate laws,
and that they who pay the cost should
be considered in the matter of rates.
What bond and stockholders may right
fully and reasonably expect in the mat
ter of dividends is an unknown guam
tity, but what the people are willing to
pay is set in castiron phraseology, and
means fair prices for good service. and
these things they mean to have.
The recent visit here of a leading
official of the Sante Fe, who came all
the way from Topeka to give out a
voluntary statement as to the intents
of President Ripley. just at the time
when Commissioner Lane had found
ground for rebating charges against
that road, looks suspicious, and it is
safe assertion that the people of Cali
fornia do not care half so much what
President Ripley's intentions on expan-
sion OF his lines may be, as they care
for fair rates and his observance Of the
law against rebates.
The hypocritical attitude of interested
railroad officials and their consequent
calamitous cries. like the same things
by those who are under fire in the graft
prosecutions, may win here and there
an interested and supporting auditor.
but the mass of the people who have
suffered from railroad exactions for
years and who have been trying for
years to Overcome them will look to the
law as 1t stands for a solution of their
troubles, and let President Ripley and
his confreres follow their purposes as
they may.
If the rates, charges ard rebates now
being warred against were onerous on
the present mileage OF the roads they
would be more so on an extended mile
age, and till a certain check is placed
on these people in these matters it is

AGAIN THE CHERRY

UyHE occasionally regrettable habit
that history has of repeating IT.
Il self has been once more exempli-
fed in the pathetic incident of the
cocktail with the cherry in it, which
seems to have operated to the observa-
tion of an excellent Methodist brother
with designs on the White House. Since
the higher criticism has taken hold of
our national annals, with what unre-
generate persons would call a lead pipe
cinch, many of our most cherished
heroes and their doings have been
nearly or quite relegated to Gehenna
along with William Tell and Mrs.
Harris Thus. in the light of more
recent research the cherry episode in
the life of George Washington must
have a new and different reading after
this manner:
George said Ole Marse Washing
ton, you substantive, adjective little
no account rascal. did you chop down
that cherry tree?' The father of his
country, already felt himself first in
war and also in pieces, as with stream
eyes he answered: Forgive me, father,
I cannot tell lie; Ikey Rosenfeld
did it!'"
That was the case of cherry tree
and the modern instance is one of a
Cherry only. But the difference in size
Is not greater than the different sizes
of the ancient and the up-to-date
heroes; the principle is the same.
eCharles!" groaned a sepulchral and
gore-curdling voice from the amen cor
ner, did you hand around cocktails
when Teddy Roosevelt dined at your
house?Y Forgive me. brethering and
sisteren. I cannot tell lie from pre-
varication; but, honest now, Teddy or
lered in those cocktails from the corner
grocery while my back was turned. and
was downstairs watering the lemon
ade and putting an oyster into the Sab
bath school oyster stew" Thus we
learn how much alike George and
Charles are, and also that most of us
prefer the Rough Riders way of assert
ing personal independence. He, it ever
will be remembered, raises his flowing
bowl on high and, with a cleaning
squirt of his eagle eye, remarks: "These
cherry stories give me a champagne
Prosit!"

PRIZE FIGHTING

nUTTING the onus of acceptance or
rejection of Sunday theater clos
- ing on the people at the next gem
eral election was a wise and timely
move by the council, and if they act on
the prize fight proposition in the same
way they will be rid, as body, of a
troublesome proposition and the people
will have due opportunity to go on
record at the ballot box on this and
other pressing public questions.
1t is certain that prize fighting. like
other Objectionable features of city life,
could not exist but for the money made
by it, and aside from the ethical ques-
ton involved it breeds and nurses the
gambling instinct in the masses of
young men. Under the cheap guise Of
advancing manly sport 1t offers an in
viting method to make money on the
chance of blow and catches men in
its net who would not patronize card
table or faro game.
Ethically the prize fight outrages all
the finer feelings OF the better classes
OF the people. not only the religious but
those who do not belong to any cult or
creed, and parents fear the bad effects
OF the companionship of young fight
fans in the public schools on their
children.
TO put the whole matter UP to the
people at the next general election is
the part OF prudence and wisdom, and
when the ballots shall have been
counted we shall know just what the
people want, and we can know in no
other way

Formulation Of Los Angeles 100000
MORMON RA1LRoAD1NG

A meeting Of stockholders Of the
N Union Pacific railroad in Salt
IA Lake Tuesday most remarkable
mixture of men and professions resulted
in the election of directors. 2. H. Har-
rirnan heads the list. with Frick Of the
steel trust al close second. William G..
Rockefeller and Henry H. Rogers of
the Standard Oil company next and A.
Valentine of the express trust closing
the list, hand in hand with Joseph r.
Smith, president of the Mormon church.
Several other trusts were represented
by members Of the board of directors
The figure of the angel Moroni on the
apex of the Mormon temple must have
cut a pigeon wing, when Joseph F.
Smith was chosen director, and his
greatly elongated fish horn must have
sounded a remarkable message to the
faithful. 1t was only two days before
this election that the same Joseph F..
Smith proclaimed from the seat of the
saints In the holy place of the taber-
nacle that he ''would never meet or mix
with the hated gentiles, socially or in
business, while his right arm held its
cunning or words to that effect.
This is hard on his fellow directors,
for it lifts them out of the questionable
level of gentiles and herds them with
the Amalekites, foraging people who,
under their king Agag, stole sheep and
sold gold bricks to the Israelities.
1t is recorded that Moses cleaned out
the Amalekites, root and branch, and 1t
is dollars to doughnuts that Moses
Joseph F. will attach himself to the
unearned increment of the II. P. (and
large wad of the earned also) before
snow flies or another meeting takes
place.
This is the only occasion of record
wherein Henry H. Rogers and e. n.
Hartman "got the hooks" for the
Mormon method of addition. division
and silence will be apt to teach these
Amalekites the true inwardness of the
fact that "all is not gold that glitters,"
even in the shape of gold bricks. 1t will
now be in order to dispatch trains by
the Book of Mormon" and make up
freights and, incidentally, charges by
the doctrines and covenants"

Just as well that extension should stop.
The present attitude of public opinion
toward river transportation doubtless
alarms these architects of the railroad
stock market. and their bark is worse
than their bite. Public sentiment is at
last crystallized on the fact that rail-
roads overcharge for passenger and
freight carrying and discriminate in
favor of some shippers against others,
and that sentiment demands drastic
changes and they will come, and these
scare" cries of railroad manipulators
are proof of the fact that they are
needed.
