FAILS 70 ARRIVE
Home Pigeon from St. Paul Freed
at Dickinson Monday, is Lost
on Way-lts First Flight.

An interesting experiment wal made
by A. H. Deiters. Of the firm of Hughes
& Deiters, Monday morning when a home
pigeon which he had brought from St.
Paul the day before raj let loose. The
bird was the property of Mr.. Deiters'
nephews at that city. who have raised
quite a number of birds, just for the
pleasure of training and experimenting
with them. A note was attached to the
pigeons foot just before it was let loose.
The bird was freed shortly before 8
O'Clock, but for about ten minutes 1t
remained near the house on the roof of
the barn, apparently getting its bearings.
At 8 O'Clock. the pigeon started on its
travels, rising to quite a height. circline
around and then heading toward the
southeast. it oon disappeared from view.
The flight was witnessed by a number
of MI. Deiters', friends.
At last reports, nothing had been
seen of the bird at St. Paul. The dis
lance is 500 miles, which is quite a
journey for a we'll trained and expert
enced pigeon. This bird, however, was
young and had never been sent on
flights of any distance. The failure of
the experiment is due largely to this fact,
that the bird had never had any expert
ence and consequently its home instincts
were not fully developed. While Mr..
Deiters was o surprised at the out
come, he was rather disappointed, for
had the bird reached its home under
the difficult conditions existing, it
would have been quite a remarkable
feat -

three pure bred Durham cattle. Sidelieht,
the head of the herd and two calves, and

New York, Feb. 26.-For the sake
of sweet charity, Mrs. John Jacob
Astor will pose in a tableaux at the
Plaza hotel this evening and tomor-
row evening. For the same philan-
thropic reason Mrs. Clarence Mackay
will drape herself in filmy white and
stand upon a pedestal as a living
picture, as will Miss Nora Langhorne,
one of the famed beauties of Virginia
and other women prominent in New
York's most exclusive society. The
Duchess of Sutherland is also ex-
pected to participate. II is expected
that the event will be the most gorg-
eous society function given in the
name of charity for many years.
Thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended by the participants for cos
tunes and the scene of the entertain
ment has been decorated in a lavish
style. The proceeds will be given
to the poor whites" of the Virginia
mountains. 1t is believed that nearly
$4,000 will be realized from the en-
tertainment.
The program consists of nine pic
lures. four dances, and n pantomine
in which Mrs. Waldorf Astor will
play Pierrette in lie Reveillion de
Pierette."
The chief interest will revolve
about Mrs. Astor. and it was she who
suggested the old French legend as
the groundwork about which to build
the tableaux vivants, in which about
fifteen society women will pose.
