Messages.

Ex-pre.ident Roosevelt's first day as a privats
citizen was passed quietly at his home at oyster
Bay, Long Island, where he was cut early
tramping in the snow and seemingly enjoying
himself To the utmost
During the day Mr. Roosevelt announced that
he would sail from this port FOR Naples on
March - on the Hamburg American liner Ham
burg At Naples he viii disembark to board an
other vessel, bound for Mombasa, on the West
African coast.
The announcement caused some surprise 70
those who believed that the eX-President had
arranged TO sail the North German Lloyd
liner KONG Albert March Is Rumor had
settled upon this steamer for him six months
ago.
When the report OF Mr Roosevelts announce
rnent came from oyster Bay yesterday there
was some apparent surprise manifested in the
office of the Hamburg-American Line. In
quiries at the office met with the response that
nothing was known there Of Mr.. Rooseveits
booking.
1t is generally believed, however that
rangements were made for the eX-Presidents
departure on the Hamburg in July of last year.
1t was said yesterday that the steamer Ham
burg would suit Mr.. Roosevelt about we'll
any vessel going to the Mediterranean. He Will
probably enjoy the imperial suite which
occupied by the German Emperor when he made
the passage from Hamburg to Naples on his
visit TO Rome. one of the features Of the Ham
burg is her gymnasium, in which it is expected
the ex-President will spend much time
Sagamore Hill was swept clear OF snow by
gale Of cold wind, and had the appearance of
desolate and bleak place. Notwithstanding the
cold wind, Mr.. Roosevelt was out early, attired
I'm knickerbockers. brown flannel shirt and heavy
walking shoes and took his daily exercise in the
woods His day was interrupted by calls from
a score of newspaper representatives to obtain
an interview At first he refused to talk. Final
w. however. he announced that he would sail
on March % by the steamer Hamburg.
1t is a happy family at Sagamore Hill. Mr..
Roosevelt is enjoying uninterrupted domesti'
life and intends TO continue to enjoy it until
starting on his hunting trip.
Several bouquets of American Beauty roses the
gift of admiring friends were sent to Sagamore
Hill Yesterday for Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt from
this city.
More than anything else Mr.. Roosevelt needs
he finds is his secretary. A deiuge of letters
kilograms and cable messages poured into Saga

the world SO great is the number Of these mes
ca ges that he asked the press to announce that

him 70 answer even one-tenth of them.

SOME LATE BASEBALL GOSSIP
OWE Was "Cut."

Charles Graham, the manager of
the new Sacramento Coast league
team, saved the great "Mique" Fish
ers rep as manager and Judge
of players, when the former was
playing with the Tacoma club.
Big" OWE Overall, who is now
one of the stars of the Chicago Cubs,
was drawing a salary from the Ia
coma club, but wasn't earning it,
simply because he was in bad rut
and couldn't win a game.
One day Overall was making a
miserable showing in the box, when
Mike, who was sitting with Graham
on the bench, said: I'm gbing to
give that big hoosier his release after
this inning. He's no good on earth,
and it's wasting money to keep him"
Graham, who knew that Overall
was great pitcher and that he
would get back to his best form soon,
got Mike to keep quiet until after
the game, and then called on Overall
to come up into the Office. The three
had a heart-to-heart talk, and Over
all, who was receiving $3.50 per
month, was persuaded to accept
hundred cut until he struck the gait.
The result was that Overall's luck
changed, and he got the winning
habit so badly that the other clubs
couldn't touch his speedy benders.
He was then the most effective bend
ster on the team, and when his pay
envelope came around at the end of
the month the 500 wasn't missing.
If it hadn't been for Graham, Over
all might have had the can tied to
him, and instead of making the slug
gers of the National league look like
monkeys, he would probably be play
ing in Visalia.

QUEER CRABS.
The Ingenious Manner In Which They
Disguise Themselves.

Some species of crabs disguise them
selves in an ingenious manner They
deliberately bite up seaweeds and
plant them on their backs, very soon
establishing growth which harmP
nizes perfectly with the surroundings
and deceives many an enemy. Should
the weeds grow too vigorously the
crab industriously prunes them with
his claws and every now and then
scrapes the whole lot off and starts a
fresh garden on his roof, so to speak.
The sponge crab behaves in a SINH
Lar manner. nipping off little bits of
living sponge and sticking them on his
back, where they grow vigorously.
The same end is served as in the other
case. 1t is very amusing to keep crabs
of one or other of these kinds in an
aquarium and deprive them of the
usual means of concealment.
They get very nervous and agitated
aud try to cover themselves with bits
Of paper or anything else that may be
provided. One such captive is said
to have had little greatcoat made
Cor him, which he put on in hurry
as soon SIS it was handed to him.

DUCK HUNTERS
Up IN ARMS
Do NOT LIKE DAVIS LAW WHICH
SEEKS TO GIVE MONOPOLY ON
MOSES LAKE TO SPOKANE
DUCK CLUB.
(By Associated Press. }

SPOKANE, Feb. TO- - Spokane
duck hunters are in arms over the
passage of the senate bill forbidding
the killing of waterfowl within the
meander line of Moses lake, and to-
day a petition headed by City Clerk
Charles Fleming and Endorsed by T.
B. and A. L. Ware, Hi Henry, Hugh
McElroy. Fred Baldwin, R. L. Dalke,
L. B. Handley, George Miles, Fred
McBroom, f. c. Robertson and 9TH
ers, will be circulated to ask the SEN
ate to reconsider.
cit is, in effect, a bill that will
give a. monopoly to the two duck
clubs which own preserves on the
north end of the lake." said City
Clerk Fleming last evening. Cali
around the rest of the lake there is
a high bluff with no back water, so
that the law prohibiting shooting
within the meander or high water
line simply knocks out duck shoot
ing from any of these bluffs. On the
north end of the lake the water
backs up into little marshes which
are controlled by the preserve of
the two clubs, one of which is the
Blue Wing Duck club of Spokane.
"This will knock out everybody
not a member of one of these clubs.
It is practically the only open lake
ir eastern Washington that affords
duck shooting, and hundreds of Spo-
kane sportsmen who go down there
every year will simply have to give
up the sport. All the other smaller
lakes are surrounded by private prop
erty, but here one can go and camp
on the shores and stay as long as he
wants to-
