RAT cATcHERs AT NAVY YARD.
Contract to Rid the Establishment
of the Pests.

A trio of rat catchers, consisting of f T..
Barclay and his two sons, Z. l.. Barclay
jr, and c. NJ. Barclay, with their ferrets
and dogs will tonight wind up a week S
engagement of exterminatipg the rats in
several of the buildings at the United
States navy yard. 1T is alleged the rats
have caused considerable damage and
annoyance at the navy yard. and the Bar
clays We're secured to rid the buildings
of the pests.
There are rats of various kinds in the
navy yard which are never seen in other
parts of the city. they having been
brought from all quarters of the globe
on ships which ave visited foreign ports
The rat catchers work at night. The fer
rets are turned loose in a building and
the rodents which they do not kill be-
tween the floors run out and put to
death by the several dogs or with spears
in the hands of the men.
Mr.. Barclay told The Star reporter of
an interesting fighk between a large rat
and one of the ferrets which took place
last Monday night in a stable at the yard.
The ferret was put under the floor in a
horse stall and in less than two minutes
he had caught a rat which proved to be
monster. 1t drew the ferret out of the
hole and the fight continued for several
minutes. The ferret finally grabbed the
rat in the neck and killed it.

FIGHTING FOR PROHIBITION.
Address Delivered at Meeting of
Local Crusaders

At meeting of the Prohibition Cru
saders of the District of Columbia last
evening in Metropolitan Church. John
Marshall place and G. streets. c. f. New
lin secretary of the Indianapolis Busi-
ness Mems Association. delivered the prin-
eipal address. Anson S. Taylor presided
Mr.. Newlin summed up the situation as
to the liquor crusade. He predicted that
the Commissioners of the District will say
they gave both sides chance to express
views on the question, but since the peo-
pie seem SO divided. it does not seem ad-
vlsabe TO sanction the pending bills pro-
vidng for prohibition. and that they do
not think there is a sufficient majority to
warrant a change III the excise law of the
District.
The speaker urged his hearers not to
give up the fight that Thursdays meet
ing at the District building did not amount
to anything, and that the persevering
methods of Kansas City. kans.. 'eonsti-
tuted the proper course to pursue.
The speaker asked for a donation of
$50 as an attorneys retaining fee and
court costs for the purpose of taking the
case sto the District Supreme Court. To
this the audience responded, and before
the close of the meeting s26O had been
subscribed.
Others who spoke were Rev s. Reese
Murray, president of the Prohibition Cru
saders; Judge Taylor. Rev W. l.. Lynn
pastor of the Gorsuch NJ y. Church, and
Rev. DR.. Clark. pastor of the Friends S
Church.

PELICANS OF AMERICA.
Lecture on Most Majestic Member of
Feathered Kingdom.

subject of an illustrated lecture given by
Frank M. Chapman of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History before the mem
bers of the National Geographic Society
at National Rifles Armory. 9th and G
streets northwest. last night He gave
an account of field studies of the white
pelican in the western states and in
northwest Canada, and of the brown
pelican In Florida.
This lecture is conceded to have been
one of the most interesting that has beeif
given before the society this winter not
only because of the great interest in the
subject. but because of Mr.. Chapman S
genuine enthusiasm and because of the
many wonderful pictures of these birds
used to illustrate his lecture. According
to Mr.. Chapman the pelican is the most
majestic and impressive bird of the feath-
cred kingdom.
to little island off the east coast of
Florida. which is the home Of all the
brown pelicans. This island is known as
Pelican Island. and is the haven of
about 5000 pairs of these big birds. Unlike
most birds the pelican does not shift
it's quarters with the climate. but remains
at Pelican Island. or in the close vicinity,
all the year around.
An interesting feature in connection
with this island is that it is the sole
property OF the Dlrds ana man is LOT
hidden to land, except by special permit
Several years ago plume hunters and
visitors in that section were visiting the
island and shooting the birds by the
wholesale, and this species eDf the bird
would have become extinct in this country
had not Mr. Chapman and the members
of his society and of the Audubon Society
intereeded in the interest of the bird.
They tried to buy the island, but the
land office could not furnish title and
they appealed to President Roosevelt. who
Immediately made the island a govern
ment reservation and placed it under the
supervision of the Department of Agri-
culture.
