YOUNG" CRITIC TO Be
TRIED FOR INSANITY
Once Great Fighter Appears
for Twentieth Time in
Police Station.

Famed as one of the greatest light
weights known in the history of pugil-
ism. Alfred Critic, more Familiarity
known as Young Critic today will
appear before Judge Rinaker in the
court for the insane in Chicago to be
judged as to his sanity.
There was very little resemblance
of the once noted fighter as he ap-
peared before Judge in the Harrison
street court yesterday. It had been his
twentieth hearing In the Harrison
street court. Yesterday he presented a
picture of a physical and mental wreck.
He was fat. his eyes were bloods hot
and his dark hair was thickly sprinkled
with gray.
Critic came TO Chicago when glove
contests were permitted and at once
became strong favorite with the ring
fans. Liquor and dissipation soon
placed him on the decline. The money
he earned in the ring slipped away
quickly.
Soon he became known to the police
as a common drunkard and during the
greater part of the last few years has
spent in the Brideweu serving SEN
fences for disorderly conduct.

their escorts also are saying they were

REVENUE CUTTERS

vices received here indicate that i'm

bird life in the Hawaiian Islands is
largely responsible for revenue cutter

which direct the cutter Thetis to pro-
coed to Honolulu and on winter sta

attic, QUILTING for the voyage over
the Pacific.
Upon information and complaints
from international Audubon societies,
the Government has become aroused
over the extensive slaughter of Ha-
waiian birds for commercial purposes.
1t is asserted that Japanese in large
numbers and with well-eQuipped IA
cilities are capturing and killing the
Hawaiian birds, sending the skins and
feathers to Japan. There the product
used for millinery purposes is fitted
for shipment to the important markets
in London and Paris
Bird life in Hawaii is one of the
noted charms of the Territory. The
brilliant plumage is noted by all who
visit that section. 1t is claimed in pro
tests against the Japanese that they
have already destroyed whole species
and without suppression will make the
destruction general over the entire
Territory.

ADVERTISING BY BALLOONS.

What is probably the most novel
method ever used for the distribution
of advertising matter is that practiced
by the Ohio Automobile Company who
handle Ford Motor Cars in Dayton, o.,
and contiguous territory.
The president of this company, Mr.
Weston, is a balloon enthusiast and
owns a large dirigible in which he
makes frequent trips over the sur
rounding country. Several such trips
had been made when the thought came
to Mr.. Weston that these trips could
be made to serve a double purpose.
Accordingly he had a million cards
printed advertising Ford cars, and as
the balloon passes over a town a bun
die of these cards is tossed overheard.
It is claimed that a fall of several
thousand feet guaranteed wide dis
tribution of cards and that the mere
fact of a card floating down from ap-
parently nowhere, insures its being
picked up and read.
Mr.. Weston recently started on a
trip north but made a mistake in the
matter of elevation, consequently sail
ing In reverse air current from the
