HIBERNIANs.

Last Tuesday evening in Hibernian hall the teams from Division No. 1 and Division No ? played their final evening in the forty-five tourney which has been in progress for six nights of play. The Second division team won this time. cutting down the big lead held by the First division, but not being able to pass them. so that on the final figures the team from Di- vision No. i wins the tournament 338 to BPS points. In the six nights of play the First division team won four times, repeating their record of last year when they also won the tourney.
 Division No. 1 holds it's semi annual meeting in the hall on Sunday evening. at which there is expected to be one candidate for initiation.

No Docks, Ne eattIeships.

Legislative tinkering has made its furthest advance in the action of the house striking from the naval appro- priation bill all grants of money for the construction of drydocks at Brook 1yn, Puget Sound and Hawaii. Un- less this b1under is corrected before the bill is finally adopted we shall be committed to a policy of naval con- struction likely to make us the laugh ing stock of other nations.
 The facts are perfectly simple. We are now actually building two great battleships which no existing dock in American. territory could accommodate when they needed cleaning or repairs. If these vessels were in commission at the present time they would have to dock in foreign ports in any emer- gency requiring their removal from the water.
 That, however, is not the worst part of it all. Congress- will probably at this session authorize the construction of two battleships of 36.e0o tons each, and unless it votes money at the same time for docks capable of accommodat- ing them they will be launched at time when facilities indispensable to their efficiency are utterly lacking. Without ample docks the usefulness of battleships is exceedingly brief. and unless we are to have both there is little use in having either.-New York Mail

Having met with such fine success as the result of his address to the peo- pie of North Stonington recently, Laf- ayette F. Main intends to give them another talk on Monday afternoon. Regarding this he writes The Bulletin as follows:
 '"The taxpayers are warned to meet on April 25 at 2 o'clock in the alter noon to act upon the following ped- ton, presented by two of tine select me of the town of North Stonington to appoint a tax collector and to ap- point that which they think best about appointing a selectman to fill a va cancy caused by one resigning since the last special town meeting. and also consider borrowing money for a cer- tain purpose. If the vcoters will get together at 1 or 1.s0 will explain to them where the town has money enough to properly run the town with out paying interest for frorrowed mol ey. I consider they can make more money by being on hand a few hours than they can to work hard a whole week on their Farms. The points will be argued, so that ali can understand the matters It will be interesting both to friends and enemies

 The crow is a migratory bird, and aids winter in November or Decem- Der, and spring in March or April. He is the most intellectual of all the feathered tribe. with more sense than 40 parrots. Many a crow has been taught to talk. and when domesticated he is the most incorrigible thief in the world-except the domesticated coon, That is pretty nearly as smart as the crow.-Washington Post.
