Vienna's Plague of Pigeons.

Vienna is suffering from too many
pigeons and the authorities are at a loss
to know what to do to mitigate the nui-
sance. The birds, which number some
thousands, have a privileged existence;
nobody molests them in any way, so that
they flourish and increase rapidly. Re-
Gently so many complaints have been re-
ceived from house owners Of the dirty
condition of the facades Of buildings
caused by the pigeons that the Vienna
magistracy decided something must be
done to reduce the number. In their
perpeXity the magistracy appealed to
the Vienna Society for the Protection Of
Animals to aid them in legal slaughter
of the offending birds, always having re-
gard, however, to the provisions of the
new birds protection law. The society
answered that it would be hardly con-
sistent with their principles of friendli
ness toward animals to engage in mas
sacre of pigeons. and therefore they must
reject the official appeal. The magistracy
are now wrestling with the problem
alone. Perhaps the unemployed Of
Vienna might help them.-Vienna Dis

Bold Chinese Brigands.

Whole districts in the province of Hi

brigands. East of Yaowan, on the Grand
Canal, close on 100 cases of kidnapping
have occurred during the last winter.
scholars on the road to school. rich men
and even men worth only $50 or 500,
have been caught and held for ransom.
The prices paid have ranged from $50
to $1,000. Schools are being closed, and
men are afraid to go from home. In
Pichow the conditions are said to be
worse. Recently a man who was acting
as a SPY on the robbers was found by
the roadside with his heart cut out. The
krigands have established regular tar

their difficulties are increased by the tact
that the people compound with the rob
bers and agree not to report and prose

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. June A.
Frank a. Vanderlip, president of the
National City bank, spoke before the
national electric light convention last
night on Electrical Securities" He
said:
THE public is coming to realize that
its rights are best safeguarded by grant
ing monopolies in public utilities, and
then subjecting them to proper reguia-
ton. The time is here when investors
in electrical lighting stocks and bonds
must be considered if the tremendous
growth of the business is to continue.
The tendency of the times, it seems
TO me, is in the direction of recognizing
the natural mOnopoliStic nature of the
electric lighting business. The public
has pretty well learned that it gains lit
tie by competition in this field especial
ly where rival concerns spring up with
the express purpose of selling out at A
price that must later be paid by the con-
sumner"

SO far the tourist has not appeared in

Two English friends whom she had met
while over here had been staying with
her at her house in Helsingfors, and on
leaving gave the maid a tip.
She was very much astonished and did
not know what it meant Seeing Nine.
Malmberg's son coming downstairs, she
ran to him and said, ''They gave me
money. Did they give you any," Hear
ing that they had not done so, she was
much mystitied. 81 cannot understand
why they, should give it to me and not

Ivan veritably blew into the town with

tales were told of how his tips on the
steamship amounted to more than 1000
and of how the senator discovered Il

whom he bestowed grateful hundred.
They tell also of the two great days he
spent in the old Irish home of his faith

sand went the way Of their fellows in
generous benefactions But the sorrow
of London hotel servants is in some
measure relieved, for has not the great
man reserved himself sumptuous suite
to be kept for him till he returns?
Why is he returning and why did he
come! everyone asks. At the same time,
why is Richard Croker here and John j.
