The Cliff Swallow

From the standpoint of the farmer and orchardists perhaps no birds more useful than the swallows exist. They have been described as the light cav airy of the avian army. Specially adapted for flight and unexcelled in aerial evolrtions. they have few rivals Tn the art of capturing insects in mid air They eat nothing of value to man except few predaceous wasps and bugs and in return for their sery- ices in destroying vast numbers of noxious insects ask only for harbora ge and protection II is to the fact that they capture their prey on the wing that their peculiar value to the cotton grower is due Orioles do royal service in catching weevils on the b0lls. and hlackhIrdS. wrens, fycatchers and others contribute ta the good work. but when swallows are migrating over the cotton fields they find the weeyils flying in the open and wage active war against them. As many as forty seven adult weevils have been found in the stomach of q single cliff swallOw.-H " HpnShaw

 To Shed the Water Well.

FAVORED FOR BIsHoPRIC.
Action Regarding Member of Catholic
University Faculty.

Interest is being manifested in this city
among the friends of Rev. DR.. Edmund T.
Shanahan, dean of the faculty of dogmatic
theology at the Catholic University of
America, in an announcement that he is
favored for the bishopric Of Fall River
Mass. The latter is one of the most i'm
portant dioceses in New England, and was
made vacant through the death of Bishop
VIM. Stang.
This report arises from the fact that at
secret meeting of the clergy of the do
cese of Fall River, Mass, about one hun
dred names were selected of those thought
to be most worthy and desirable to succeed
Bishop Stang. Dr. Shanahan's friends in
Washington are much pleased over the fact
that his name heads the list made up by
the clergy of the Fall River diocese, an
honor considered all the more unusual
since DR.. Shanahan is not of that diocese
but of Boston, Mass, his home city. The
second choice was Rev. James Coyle of
Taunton. Mass, while the Rev. DIR. Thos.
Kennedy, rector of the American College
in Rome is the third choice.

STEAMER IN COAT OF ICE.
African Prince Arrives at Sandy Hook
With Cleaning Mantle.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 25-An ice-cIad
steamship, the African Prince, agleam from
hull to mastheads under a coating of frozen
spray. steamed in past Sandy Hook this
morning, resembling a great fragment from
some enormous iceberg. Coming from
Shields the steamship encountered westerly
gales, which continued from Pentland Firth
to longitude Sc. While these great winds
were responsible for big head seas that de-
layed the vessels progress, intense cold
was not encountered until nearing this
coast. Directly across the Newfoundland
Banks came the African Prince, shouIdering
her way and battling Justify with the seas,
but still no ice was encountered.
On coming near the coast, however, in
tense cold prevailed, shriveling blasts hurled
drop of dashing water and flying spray that
landed on the African Prince seemed to stay
where it struck and was speedily trans
ferred into white-frOSted surface With
a little fragment as nucleus, great con-
geaIed masses soon formed. One great piece
weighing about a ton and a half, formed it
self about the whistle and smokestack
guys When it had grown to such conSid-
cradle proportions as to become dangerous
the crew were ordered to remove the OBJ
struction And this was no easy matter
with the big fragment in such a position as
to make it hard to reach.

GOV.CARTER'S MESSAGE
TO HAWAIIAN LEGISLATURES
GOOD FINANCIAL SHOWING.

Taking as his text the words of King
Kamehameha III, "Ua hama mai Ike Akua 1
ma Ianufkanaka pau Ike koko hookahi
mono like lakou ma ka honua nei me
ka pomaikai, which mean, God has made
OF one blood all nations of men to dwell on
earth in unity and blessedness," Governor
Carter touches upon the difference of race
now perplexing to statesmen in his message
sent to the legislature.
King Kamehameha used these words
when, as absolute monarch of Hawaii he
proclaimed the first constitution whereby
he surrendered voluntarily his unuuestioned
power to the people forever The governor
says that they are as potent today as on
that 9Th day of October, 1910, when first
pronounced precept for the guidance of
Hawaii and the Hawaiians He continues:
Here In the middle of the Pacific, in a
community governed by the occident but
popped by the orient, let us take up the
words of Kamehameha and ring them out
to the world around us. Let a new impulse.
with overwhelming circles, bear them forth,
announcing that we in Hawaii, so far as
hes IN our power, intend to act with peace
and good will toward all, and to welcome to
our shores the people of every nation who,
like us. desire to dwell on earth in unity
and blessedness.
Let this be known to our fellow citizens
on the mainland, many of whom think that
the light of civilization first appeared on
these islands when the stars and stripes
were unfurled in 1885, Let it be known, so
that statesmen and those in high author
lty may better understand why it is that in
these small islands, with so many national
tiles, there is little or no friction. Let
the world see that others have yet to
comprehend the import, the meaning of
that which was understood by an Hawaiian
KING more than two generations ago.
Hawaii is steadily gaining reputation
abroad for quiet progress. Her citizens
are showing capacity for self-control for
moderation, and a respect for law and order
essential in any self-governing community.
During the last two years this territory has
given no cause for anxiety to the sovereign
states, which compose our Union"
The most gratifying part of the governors
message is his financial exhibit. When he
took office, a little over three years ago.
there was debt for local current ex-
penses amounting to nearly $SOO,OOO, with
treasury warrants outstanding and the
banks refusing to discount them.
Ioday the governor reports surplus of
$lSO.c0O at the end of the fiscal period on
June 30 next, with all obligations met. Tax
alton from al! sources amounts to $33 % per
capita. 50 of which are paid into the federal
treasury at Washington. The estimated
revenue for the next biennial period is So
loS,oO0 with estimated territorial and coun-
ty disbursements of $5,15S, 433, which in
Guide expenditures for public Improvements.
One of the principal recommends tons is the
establishment of pension fund for retired
teachers.

NOT PREFERRED CREDITOR.
Case Decided Against the Eau Claire
National Bank.

The case of the Eau Claire National
Bank of Eau Claire, Wis, against Jackson,
trustee, involving a question of preference
in matter of bankruptcy, was decided by
the Supreme Court of the United States to-
day against the bank. The case arose out
of the fact that in February, 1902, John H.
Young who in the following June became
a bankrupt, gave mortgages on substantial
ly all his property to secure notes to the
bank It was urged that the recognition of
this mortgage would result in giving the
bank preference over other creditors. The
decision of the supreme court of Wisconsin
was against the bank and it was affirmed
by today's decision which was delivered by
Justice McKenna.
