TO PRESERVE THE HEATH HEN.
Only Few Specimens Remain on the
Island of Martha's Vineyard.

Why row OPcCIfnSHS ncIndIn on Ine
Island of Martha's Vineyard.
To prevent the total extinction of
the species of wild fowl known as
the heath hen, the only living speci-
mems of which in the world now are
said to be on the island of Martha's
Vineyard and number only about
one hundred, DR.. George w. Field,
chairman of the Massachusetts Fish
cries and Game Commission, has
asked for an appropriation of $4,000
from the Massachusetts legislature.
This expected appropriation, with
about $4,000 already contributed by
public spirited citizens, is to be used
to build fire stops around the breed
ing places of the birds on the island
and to provide for maintaining artif-
cial %incubators which DR.. Field pro-
poses to establish there.
"The first settlers of the Atlantic
coast found these birds very numer-
Gus from Cape Ann to Virginia" said
DR.. Field. 'They were especially
nero in Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, and
New Jersey, and became an impor-
tant article of food, but indiscrimin-
ate shooting and sharing, and partic-
ularly forest fires, led to their disap-
pearance On the mainland. There are
now upward of n hundred individ-
uals breeding on the island of Mar
tha's Vineyard, but the number is de-
creasing yearly"
AS the heath hen inhabits the open
country, going into the farming land
and gardens to feed on cutworms,
army worms and other crop pests, it
Is believed that it could doubtless be
made an important agent in assisting
in controlling such insect pests if it
could be restored to the mainland.
The bird is similar to the prairie
chicken of the Mississippi Valley, but
differs from it slightly in size and con-
siderably in color and in the shape of
the peculiar feathers on the neck.
The general project is strongly urged
by DR.. rs. Palmer, of the biological
survey of the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington, and also by Will
liam butcher, president of the Nation.
al Audubon Society, who has written
that the society stands ready to give
assistance financially If 1t is needed.

continues to transact business in the
state which aggregates annually

amount above stated That the com

fees provided by law in such cases,
and that the Pullman company open
ly and avowedly continues to trans

ceive and collect for such service

high roller and minister of the gos-
pei. is still alive officially so far as
the Tennessee prison records are
concerned. The state prison books at
Nashville show he was received as
a prisoner there in 1884. but there
is no record OF his pardon, commu-
tation or discharge.
The history OF the time in which
this noted desperate terrorized Ten

he finally was apprehended and con-

stealing and sentenced to serve 10
years
1t was Murrills unique method to
go into a rural community, hold a
protracted meeting and establish
himself in the confidence of the com
munity. Possessed of fine oratorical
powers and great personal magnet
ism, this generally was simple
matter.
One of his favorite methods of
procuring funds was to sell trained
slaves to one master after another
the negroes always deserting and
alton had passed.
Another was to pass the hat for
the cause of foreign missions and
appropriate the proceeds. He was a
famous promoter of livestock inter
ests and always made large profits
for tfe reason that he had a way OF
procuring cattle that involved little
outlay excepting energy. A large
number of straight robberies and
murders generally were accredited tC
