WILD FOWL ARE

Each Season.
Special to The Journal.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE report of
the United States Agricultural De
partment just issued regarding the
threatened extinction of wild fowl
will be of great interest to hunters all
over the country for it discloseS a
state of facts which point to the total
extinction of wild duck, teal, wild
geese, and all wild water fowl in the
near future. The canvass back and

So rapidly are wild fowl diminish

found necessary to pass a law pro-

but even their sale within the state

the opinion that the enforcement Of

Wells w. Cook of the Biological

NO CHANGE IN THE
NAVAL PROGRAM
az AssocIateH Praee.

Washington Jan. 11.-Although the
suggestion has been made that on ac-
count of the weak representation OF
armored ships on the Pacific coast.
several such vessels should be sent
there at once. it was stated to-day that
the naval general board has no pres
ent intention of disturbing the plans
made long since for the maneuvers
which are about to begin at Culebra
and Guantanamo. The program of eX-
ercises covers a period of six weeks
during which time the entire Atlantic
feet will undergo rigid drills and ex-
tensive target practice It is not i'm
probable, however, that after the feet
reaches northern waters, some ship of
the heavy armOred class may be sent
around the horn.

of little girl who goes to sleep and
dreams that she visits land of queer
people where the king of hearts is
the ruler 1t is a strange land, and
all the people are strange. Finally
the Sandman, who seeks to destroy
the regime of the King of Hearts,
gains the upper hand and all the peo-

even more peculiar than the Land of
Nod.
Naturally clever people are requir-

dian makes merry laughter. and there
are two clever women in the company.
The most conspicuous woman of abil-

Ursula Marsh, the chorus girl She
is the life of the company, vivacious
and the pOssessor of d laugh that is
contagious If all the chorus girls
could play as clever parts as she there
would be no principals. Miss Adele
Oswald possesses a sweet voice, and
she renders several of the prettiest
songs of the evening. among them a
part of the duet. Love Contagious,

Knox Wilson and Neil Mcneil are
