AEROPLANE PERIL 10 BIRDS
Winged Species Becoming Alarmingly Fewer Tn France as Man Com
 petea with Them.

Paris. of all kinds are becom- ing scarcer in France, say the orni- thologists. According to no less an authority than Co-nte Clary, president of the St. Hubert club, the danger of extinction of the winged species is in creased by the use of aeropianes.
 eAll who were present during the aviation contests at Rheinas.' said Ccnte CIary, Twill recall that the be- hayior of the frightened birds as the .aeroplanes rose was picturesque fea- ture in the early part of the week. In some cases they seemed to be par alyzed with fear, while in others they scudded away with loud cries. By the end ol the week few birds were to be seen on the field. The same has been true in other parts of France where aviation meetings have been held"
 The proprietor of large estate in tho south of France says that he has noticed the greatest alarm among birds, and especially among wild ducks on the appearance of steer ab,e balloon over their heads. It is feared by ornithologists and sports men that the advent of flying ma chimes will cause a decrease in the number ot game birds.

EAGLE AND COYOTE s:TT.E
Death Comes to Both After Terrific Encounter in Spokane County,
 Washington.

Spokane, Wash.--Marsh Hill, near Fairfield, Spokane county. was the scene of terrific encounter between golden eagle and a coyote. the lat ter emerging minus an ear. The big bird and the coyote were captured in traps set close together by Ned Mor- rison. son of Col E. H. Morrison The eagle was heavily handicapped by the trap which held its left claw. but stood its ground well by using tho right spur and beak. It died shortly after being released from the trap and will be mounted The coyote was the largest ever seen in eastern Washington. The. scratching on the frozen ground and the wounds on it's hind legs indicate that the animal at, tempted to get away from its tor mentor, but the trap held 1t firm. Young Morrison. who witnessed the last part of the fight says 1t was a lively skirmish. the battle continued a halt hour after he reached the scene when he dispatched the coyote with stick of cord wood. The pres ence of the covote so near settlement is said to be due to the heavy snow in the mountains.

DEFENDS HER VISITING DOG
Pennsylvania Woman Wants It under stood That Canine Guests Are
 Entitled to Privileges.

Chester, Pa.-City Clerk William T. Cullis, whose duty it is to receive dog taxes and issue tags for CUTS of all breeds, was confronted by most pc culiar proposition the other morn ling. A woman called at his office and wanted to get a Boston bull terrier which had been gathered by the dog catcher released from the pound with out making payment of the customary two dollars.
 .sBut this dog you have penned up and want me to pay a couple of dol lars for is not a Chester dog; he's only a visitor here and we want to send him home," declared the woman. It appears that the Boston bull is owned by man in Mauch Chunk, and was brought to Chester several days ago by a couple of children of Charles Coppock the Sixth ward The ani- maj did not wear a Chester tag, so that when he got out on the street the man with his dog net gathered him in. The city solicitor must rule upon the queer case.

METHODIST CHURCH.

Sunday School last Sunday morning was better attended than for some tine and one new class formed and combined into class No ,, as the Philathea. under the leadership of Bro. T. J. Black, who was also appoint ed director of the Sunday School music.

A full attendance is especially desired for Sunday morning. A class of boys, with Mrs. Henry Folsom as teacher, was organized Tues day evening. This class is com posed of boys from twelve to sixteen years old.
 At II, a. m., the pastor de- livered an excellent talk on the work and duties of church mem- bership. In addition several ex- cellent papers were read by diff ferent members. Following this the official board of the church was installed with appropriate ceremonies.
 The presiding elder, Dr. z. T. Bennett, was here and preached at 7:15 at night. He also held the first quarterly conference immediately after the services. The Epworth League held a short business session and de- cided to change the time of it's meeting and which will be an- nounced Sunday evening.

TABLET SF|Rs TOWN
lnfideI's Epitaph May Cause
 Removal from Cemetery.
inscription or shsfs Of Eccentric and Wealthy rennsylyanian Called SacriIegious and Causes Off
 cials Much Worry.

Trenton, N. J.--Agitation is on in the little town of Morrisville, Pa, across the Delaware river from the old Morrisville cemetery, the head stone over the grave of Samuel Mo Cracken, because of an epitaph which toWnfolk say is sacrilegious.
 It is a stone tablet. erected in the and civil war heroes, prominent clergymen. and citizens, and bears this inscription:
 Tn memory of Samuel McCracken, who died April 13, 1862.
 If leading politicians and priests
 All go to heaven then am bound
 To stop at some other station"
 Officers of the cemetery association are at sea as to what to do, as they say they arc legally bound to permit the headstone to remain. In order to get around the contract made by McCracken w:h the cemetery asso- citation. 1t has been suggested that all of the bodies be cxhumed and re- moved to new plot of ground, ieav- ing the McCracken plot the only one In the cemetery. Relatives of Me- Cracken assert that this would not be legal
 McCracken, who. many years ago, owned half the town and entertained lavishly, posed as. an old-time coun- try gentleman, and was considered a jolly good fellow by all who knew him. He was lenient with his ten ants, generous to their children, and sympathetic with them in their dis tress. His home was filled with guests almost continually, as the host loved company
 In his boyhood he took dislike to religion, and in his manhood was an infidel. He despised politics and poli- ticians No decent gentleman Is politician" was his contention. His batred for the clergy in general was intense. He also believed that when a man became mortally Ill he should not wait for death.
 His wife was Christian woman attended religious services regularly and her charities were extensive.
 From the day his wife died Mo Cracken's health began to fail. He prepared for death, and confided to friends he was soon to leave, never to return, but even then he was jovial and spoke merrily of his coming de- rarture.
 He made secret arrangements with an undertaken for his burial He or dered that his body te placed in a canoe shaped casket, built of light wood and canvas. This repository was completed before his death. He bought large interest in the ceme- tery and made contract that what ever headstone should be placed over his resting place should never be re- moved. no matter what Inscription it bore
 On April 16, 1862. he committed sui- eide by cutting his throat, and was buried, according to his instructions. in grave adjoining that of his wife. After his headstone was erected. church workers became indignant, not only because of the epftaph itself. but because 1t should be placed over Mrs. McCracken's grave, and both head stones are side by side in the most conspicuous part of the graveyard.
 This is the inscription over the grave of Mrs McCraeken:
 Tn memory of Phoebe, wife of Sam. uel McCracken, who died March 30, 1860 She died firm believer in Christ, her Saviour"

WAR 0N R|CE BIRDS
south Carolina Planters Wage a
 Perpetual Campaign.
At Least Sne-Cusrtsr of Crop of state Said to Be Lost Through Ravaoes of Myriads of FeathereJ
 Sonqsters,

New York.-"T venture to say that at least one-quarter of the rice cron or South Carolina is destroyed an. nuaiiy by the rice bird" said rice planter of that state.
 For years the planters have been ciamoring for some method of ridding their fields of this pest, and. having noticed that a living hawk lowering in the air over rice field would cause the departure of the devastating birds. negotiations were few years ago en- tered into by the rice planters with man who was an expert in the train ing Of falcons, for experiments in framing hawks The effort was made put our hawks did not prove tractable and we had to give up that idea.
 Then We tried the perching of stuffed hawks here and there about the field, in poses of evident watching for opportunity to swoop down on the rice birds. This would have the de- sired effect for day or so, but the little feathered pests would then dis cover that the hawks were not the real swooping-down kind and resume their raids.
 Guns, drums and other implements for carrying destruction among them and making noise to frighten them off are the only means left us. The bird minders. employees whose entire duty Is to shoot and frighten away the rice birds from the fields, are an important and expensive factor in rice produc- ton in South Carolina
 ''The rice bird, which is your bobo- link, catches us both going and com ing. It pounces upon us in the early part of April. At that season it's plnmage is white and black, and it sings merrily when at rest
 Tn the latter part of May, the night of the 18th being counted on with al- most dead certainty as the date, they disappear as suddenly as they come Quite as punctual on the night of August 21 following they return to make the work of destruction as thorough as they can. Their plumage is now sober, yellowish brown. All night on August 21 their chirp can be heard as the myriads of birds flock in from the ocean, bound for the rice fields. The flight ceases as morning dawns.
 No one ever saw rice bird coming in on the following day, but when darkness falls on the evening of Aug. ust 22 the flight is resumed. It con tinues during the succeeding nights until the 18th. That night ends it. and then millions of the birds have spread themselves over the rice fields.
 Men, women and children are post ed with guns and abundant ammuni- tion to- every five acres of rice. and each gun consumes on average two pounds of powder with the necessary accompanying shot between daylight and dark, the period of daily effort to save the crop.
 "Of course great number of the birds are killed, not only by our hired minders, but by sportsmen. From eat ing rice they become very fat and their bones are softened. They are a delicate edible morsel, being greatly improved in quality iii this respect even oyer what they are as reed birds, as they are known farther to the north"
