Jungle JingIes

Literary Indiana and literary Washing
ton join hands iii the making Of a
charming little Christmas book for chill
dren. Jungle Jingles." by Miss Ruth
Herriott, OF indianapolis. a niece of the
late Congressman Overstreet, and vel
known In Washington social circles.
This is not a book of poetry; il is a
book of 'ljlngles. They would not mean
much. perhaps. to the grown-ups. who
would look with too critical an eye az
the adventures OF the chipmunk, the
grasshopper, the squinchbug. the hop
toad. the periwinkle, and the rest; but
TO the youngsters these rhymes. SAVIOR
ing of the delightful ditties written BIZ
Lewis Carol in alice in Wonderland"
should prove a source of great entertain
snent. There is about these 1itties some
thing of the same quality OF direct sim
plieity and appeal that make Stevenson's
Rhymes of Childhood" so appealing, and
though for the most part they are sheer
nonsense. it is good-humored and whole
some nonsense. of the sort IN which chill
dren find their greatest satisfaction.
Jungle Jingles' makes a pretty little
gift volume for q child. It's pages are
decorated by appropriate pictures by the
author IL is issued by the Carnahan

The United Association of Journeymer

They point out that there has been no
increase in their salaries since the organi-
zation Of the department, and the work
has been doubled.
The Commissioners replied tina. the
salaries paid the assistant inspectors OF
plumbing as well as other District en-
ployes are not commensurate with the
services rendered, but it is impossible to
recommend many increases in salaries
owing to the limitations placed upon the
board In preparation of the estimates.

ENGLISH SPARROWS.

For long time there have been threats
against the English sparrow, and time
and again a crusade of determination
has been advocated. but the pugnacious
bird has continued to thrive and perpetu-
ate its relentless war upon the song birds
of the country. An exchange says:
Ever since an English railroad con-
tractor brought the first pair to this
country, acouple of generations ago, on
account of their insectivorous propensi-
ties. they have been steadily making
enemies. From the tip of their impu-
dent beak to the toss of their insolent
tail they have assumed an attitude of
defiance. For them the highway was a
dust-bath and the gutter their natator-
ium. They have multiplied and increased
until they have Overrun the continent.
Perhaps they may have had, originally,
a certain fondnsss for insects. but the
record goes to show that in recent years
they have spent their time chasing away
the song birds. until now the robin and
the bluebird are. in certain sections,
practically extinct.
1.-The world at large has joined in the
crusade against this street gamln of
ornithology. The English sparrow is
being served up as rice Bird and
found to be very delicate. AS soon as a
commercial value is placed on his head
the English sparrow will know that
his end is neaF. Norfolk Ledger

TO TRADE WITH NORFOLK.

In order to capture for Norfolk part
of the large trade of the Western Shore
of the Chesapeake bay, the Advisory
committee of the Board of Trade, at its
meeting in that city last week set on
foot movement for either a daily or
tri-weekly steamboat service with points
on the western side of the bay
The Board of Trade is cons idering
the ACCESSIBILITY of chartering a steamer
and giving the residents of the Kappa
hammock valley free trip to Norfolk.
The Board does not think Norfolk is
getting fair share of the trade of that
section. Norfolk cannot extend her
trade in the Northern Neck and the
Rappahannock valley, under present
traffic arrangements. Boats make one
trip week from Norfolk to the Rap
pahannock and daily trips from the
Rappahaunock TO Baltimore. For more
than ten years the trade organizations
have been trying to secure a daily line
from Norfolk and the steamboat COM
pany has contended that daily trips
would not pay and if the merchants de-
sire this service they would have to
give bond to indemnify the steamboat
company against loss. At present a
a large majority of the trade goes to
Baltimore. The Northern Neck is a
rich and progressive section. The peo-
pie are good buyers and the business is
certainly worth going after. Baltimore
is not going to surrender her hold on
this section without fight.-Norfolk

COMMOD0RE'S PARDON.

The following appeared recently in
the Times-Dispatch from Lancaster
Courthouse:
A negro commonly known in these
parts as Commodore, who some
years ago choked Lombard Sullivan. an
old white man into ipsensibility, robbed
him of all his money and then left him
for dead, and who was later tried and
sent to the penitentiary, has recently
appeared here, having been pardoned
out of the penitentiary without the
knowledge of the court officials and to
the surprise of the people of the county.
Upon investigation, we find the facts
to be as follows: The State Board of
Pardons paroled Commodore April 10.
last, he having served half his SEN
tence and fully conformed 10 the law
and the penitentiary rules. A letter
was received by the board from the
sheriff of Lancaster that at the time of
his arrest, Commodore could have es-
capped but made no attempt.
The Governor had nothing to do with
the case.

OUTBREAK ON
THE JAMES.
Gunboats Called on TO QueIl Dis
turbance Among 0ystermen.
TO HAVE UYSTERM AR
RESTED.

Newport News, Aug. i3. Under or
ders from Chairman Mcdonald Lee,
of the State Commission of Fisheries,
to put down the disturbances among
the oyster tongers on James river
Thursday. the steamer Commodore
Maury, flagship of the Virginia oyster
navy. rushed down the Chesapeake bay
at full speed bound for the scene of the
trouble at Point of Shoals. ten miles
beyond this city. She was joined in
Hampton Roads by the gunboats Viola
and Blanche and it is probable the en-
tire fleet will go to the point.
Chairman Lee issued orders to the
oyster patrol. to put down the disturb
ance at all costs and to arrest every
man who engaged in the raid.
Inspector Lawson ascertained the
names of the tongers who engaged in
the raid and swore out warrants against
each of them. The new law lays heavy
penalty for such violations, and where
resistance is offered to oyster inspectors
or police the sentence is Jail and fine.
For five years the officials have pro-
tected the James seed beds from sum-
mer violations, until now it is said a
single longer can catch as many as rs
bushels a day. This has aroused the
desire of lawless gang that has been
forcibly made to obey the law. Taking
as an excuse that certain planters were
holding ground they were not entitled
to some forty boats f,om creeks in Isle
of Wight banded together, defied the
small police boat. pulled up stakes and
turned planting ground out to tongers.
These same planters were within their
rights, having already been put back to
the Baylor line by the Commission of
Fisheries. The present Fisheries Com
mission has never assigned an acre of
ground to planter in the seed region,
but it is the officials duty to pro-
tect lawful assignments of their pre-
deceSsors.

COLONIAL BEACH MAIL SERVICE,

Through the efforts of our popular
and efficient postmistress, Mrs. +. V.
Yates, we are now enjoying the best
mail service by far that we have ever
had. The Popes Creek Line, which
brings in addition to letters, our daily
papers from Washington. Baltimore
and other places, arrives at 1:45 a. m.
every day.
Letters put in the post office up to
5:45p. m. each day except Saturday are
dispatched by boat at p. M, reaching
Washington about IL p. m. On Satur-
days, after 2 p. M, when the Popes
Creek boat leaves, the remainder of the
mail leaves by the excursion boat at
IL 80 p. m. The overland mail from the
lower Northern Neck reaches here about
GAO p. M, and departs about Z p. m.-
