Mrs. Lawrence asked the magistrate
to note that the arrested women did

honorable reputation and that many OF
them had done service for the welfare
of the community. They would not
consent to be bound over to keep the

TABBY IS UNDER A CLOUD
Scientist interested in Protection Of
Birds Casts Grave Suspicion on
the House Cat.

Washington.-That house cats an
nually kill millions of wild birds in
the United States and that their vir-
tue as destroyers of rats and mice Is
exaggerated is the statement of A. X.
Fisher of the department Of agricul-
ture.
This onslaught on the character of
the cat is made in connection with
defense of many of the predaceous
animals which Mr.. Fisher declares
generally live on some form of pests,
except when such food is scarce and
they have to resort to the chicken
roost, for instance, to exc out liv-
ing until the crop of pests which are
their food, gets abundant.
The red-tailed hawk, he points out,
keeps down the field mice and touches
other food only when its work of ex-
termination of the mice has been too
well done for its own good
Mr.. Fisher pleads for moderation in
the treatment of predatory birds and
other animals on the ground that
| their service as pest destroyers
should license them, when food is
scarce, to descend on domestic ami
mails, the injury to which, he insists
is small when compared with the
/ good the birds do the farmer.

HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT
of Idaho Came Near to Seat o.
cupied by Roosevelt.

Washington.-"If former Senator
philosopher; if he ever permitted
himself to have vain regrets, he would |
now be kicking himself to use a |
slang phrase, that he is not an ex-
president of the United States instead |
of an ex-senator" remarked William |
F. Clark, veteran newspaper man of |
New York, at the Raleigh.
Dubois could have been president, |
his friends believe, although it would
have come about in the same manner
that Roosevelt became president.
Long before the convention of 1896,
that nominated William Mckinley, it
was known to Mark Hanna that the
silver Republicans were going to bolt
the convention. Hanna had line on
Teller, Dubois, Cannon and Pettigrew,
and he was fearful, astute political
general that he was, that the result
of the bolt might be disastrous in the
election. He didn't want to take any
chances on the silver men walking
out, because he was afraid that the
effect on the voters of the country
would be bad, and he wanted to cinch
the presidency for his friend McKin-
| ley.
HE didn't fear the Democratic
nominee at that time, whoever he
might be. Of course, Hanna had no
idea that Bryan would be nominated,
and he didn't anticipate that the issue
in that campaign would be the silver
question, although he knew that in
his own party 1t had reached an acute
stage. Hanna wanted to bury that
question, because he was aware that
1t would be popular with the people.
"He did the wise thing-he made
overtures to the silver insurgents in
an effort to effect compromise. The
senator went to Teller and Pettigrew
and proposed that If the silver Repub-
licans would not walk out he would
agree to throw his support to Dubois
for vice president. But the silver men
would not listen to the proposal, and
as is well known, they walked out
If Dubois and his silver friends had
agreed to the Hanna proposal, Dubois
. would have been nominated, and its
almost a sure thing that he would
have been renominated in 1900, for i
is ancient history now that the Repub
! licans had hard time to get candi
date"

The church has been furnished with

of the colonial and revolutionary pew
