PUT ON BLACK LIST
Portland Slab man Has
Jumped Three Contracts
This Season.

Inasmuch as there has been a gen
eral expectation that Henderson. the
Portland (Ore.) pitcher. would come TO
Boston. the following from a Seattle
exchange is interesting:
Ben Henderson. Tom Hackett, and
Bill Moriarity have been blacklisted for
ever by the Pacific Coast League and
Will never be able TO play in organized
baseball again. The action was taken
at special meeting OF the league held
In San Francisco. The three men are
playing with Stockton in the outlaw
California State League. Henderson was
Portland's premier pitcher last year
Hackett is the catcher who jumped
from Oakland six weeks ago. and Mo-
riarity Is the shortstop who jumped Sar
Francisco last week.
The case OF Henderson caused the
greatest furore. McHale, Charlie,
Moore. and Henderson were all put CT
the suspended list by McCredle some
time ago. AicHale and Moore just
jumped reserves. but Henderson hal
Jumped three cont acts.
Last February Henderson accepted
terms and signed contract with Mc

POSTAL SAVITGS BANKS

Washington. Nov, l0.-There is
high authority for the statement that
President Roosevelt will urge POST
master General Meyers plan for saw

the attention OF congress in. his forth
coming message. Furthermore the
president not only win recommend
consideration OF the subjects In ques-

detail to show why definite action
should be taken as soon as possible.
II was learned today that the presl-
dent as well as his postmaster gen.
era has been studying the postal saw
ingiI bank system. and that he is fully
as enthusiastic as Mr.. Meyer over the
benefits to accrue from its establish
ment. Probably the same Is true in
respect to the parcels post. but the
conversation with high Official OF
the administration which developed
the White House feeling toward the
aew postmaster generals policies was
directed specifically to postal savings
banks.
As everybody knows by now, a
great step forward has been made
possible by postmaster general who
has gone into the postal savings and

The indications point more strongly
each day that the Republican party is
nearing a serious split in its ranks.
The course of Roosevelt towards GER
tain large corporations has caused an
element of the party to antagonize
his policies. On the other hand the
masses of the people heartily approve
of the presidents course. The feel
ing is becoming more and more bitter
and to day in Canton many leading
Republicans are assuming a most be
ligerent attitude towards the presi-
dent. The present financial stringency
furnishes the excuse for rebeling
against Rooseveltism and the outcome
will result in the party splitting apart
and losing national control.

RESuRRECTlNG THE GAELIC.
(From the Philadelphia North
Amaricanl

In April of last year the Argyll
synod OF the Church OF Scotland
lamented the scarcity of Gaelic-speak-
ing students for the Presbyterian min
istry and expressed the view that the
ancient language Of Scottish bard and
chief was steadily nearing extinction.
Now II is the boast of the pioneers or
the revival movement that on every
Sunday in the year a thousand SER
mons are preached in Gaelic in the
churches north of the Grampians, the
Old-time demarcation between Saxon
and Celt. This is a strong and graft
flying evidence of the strides made
even within year. in the revival
movement. Apart from the philologic
aspect Of the question, II Is gratifying
to see an earnest effort being made
TO rescue from extinction a language
so poetic and impressive as the Gaelic.
While English is the statutory Ian
guage Of the British isles. and will
continue TO the crack OF doom, the re-
yival of the ancient tongue of Mona
and Of Erin will be an enrichment Of

The shake-up which President
Rooseyelt's reforms have given TO
the politics OF the last few years has
made sweeping changes in the per-
sonnel of the working leaders of both
parties. as we'll as in their ideals and
their methods. The six years which
have passed since Roosevelt entered

both the Republican and the Demo-
cratic parties In most of the import

Cuban Ostrich Farming.

Mr.. Edward " Morgan, American
minister to Cuba, In writing that an
experiment IN ostrich farming has
recently been started at Marianao,
near Habana, furnishes the following
particulars OF this new industry on
the island:
THE farm contains about ~ acres,
with shelters for the birds In inele-
ment weather and a house for the
employees. The land is divided into
large pens for the younger birds and
smaller ones for each pair OF breeders.
There is also a salesroom, where os-
trich feathers are sold-not, however,
necessarily the product OF the farm.
There are now AZ ostriches there, 2S
OF which were imported from the
Phoenix American Ostrich Farm OF
Phoenix Ariz.. and the balance from
the Nice Ostrich Farm, in France.
Fourteen Of these are breeders, and
the others are between one and two
years old. The price OF the full-grown
breeder = from $500 10 $500. and that
OF the younger birds from $3.50 to
$500, ac 0rding 70 their age and sex.
The cost OF importation from either
Arizona or France is about SIT, II i'm
ported In quantities OF twenty or.
more, including Cuban customs du-
ties.
"The ostrich lays four times year,
each female giving from IA TO Is eggs
at each laying. ABOUT 20 per cent.
OF those hatched arrive at maturity.
The period Of incubation Is about
forty-two' days. The young birds are
kept In green pastures near the house
and at night are put In an artifcia-
lily heated brooder house. At the
age OF six months they are placed in
larger heins, but must be housed In
inclement weather until they arrive at
the age OF about'twenty months. They
are fed on a mixture OF bran. corn,
cats, barley and alfalfa. all OF which
Is imported from the United States.
The only disease to which they are
subject Is constipation. They never
have been known to be attacked by
any contagious disease.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1907-11-12

"The first plucking is made at the
age OF six months when the feathers
are narrow, coarse, and OF small mar
ket value. Thereafter they are pluck.
ed every eight months, the value OF
the. feather Increasing at each pluck
Ing until they arrive at maturity at
the age OF -four years. When ready
to be plucked, the bird is placed in q
V-shaped corral. large enough 10 con-
tain his body and that OF the plucker.
His wings are then raised and all the
ripe feathers are clipped, Two months
later the quiils left in the wings are
entirely dead and are drawn without
pain to the bird.
''rhe raw feathers are then sent TO
New York and sold TO the dealers
who prepare them for the market.
The yield OF an adult male bird in
raw feathers is about $50 and that or
a female bird about $45. The price
at which they are sold Is regulated by
that OF the London market. The du-
ty on them is l6 per cent ad valorem
On entering the United States There
are two varieties OF ostrich, the Nu-
bian and the South African. The
feathers OF tho former are larger and

made to cross the two breeds with the
object Of combining the length ana
texture OF the Nubian feather with the
width and thickness Of the South Az
