THE IDLER.

I have just been reading about the
great Peace Conference which was
held in Baltimore recently, and I was
wondering why some steps were not
taken TO secure peace between indiyi-
duals as we'll as among nations. IT.
that could be brought about it would
follow that there would be peace
among nations. I notice that one writ
'eT quotes what Isaiah said some hun
dre3s of years ago. "Come ye, and
let Us go up to the mountain Of the
Lord, and he will teach us his Ways,
and we will walk in his paths, and
he shall judge between the nations,
and shall reprove many people, and
they shall beat their swords Into
ploWing shares and their spears into
pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift
up sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any MORE
Now, that is all very nice, and L
hope it may result in lasting good to
all the people, but in tha same raper
that contained this laudabl,a artic,a Of
the peace conference you will read
where men in this civilized country,
by virtue of the fact that they were
making walking arsenals Of themseIv-
es, had taken the life of their fellow
man. al! n the heat Of passion. II

Have you noticed how beautifully
some of these old fences lean out
over the sidewalk and are in your
WV and Gow rnsightly it makes the
street look. Just a little wee bit Of
attention would help all that.
Seems to me I read in one Of the
Newberry papers that some one had
a claim before council for damages
for falling in hole and injuring her
ankle and that city council had to pay
some fifty or seventy-fve dollars to
keep from having suit brought. That
was scarcely the precipice at the un-
ion depot into which this person went
for no measly seventy-6ve could pay
for injuries received from fall down
this place. I don't think it has been
fixed, The Idler.

But the wooden bridges still span
the bitches in many of our most prom
inent streets. Why not put in piece
of iron pipe or terra Gotta, and when
it was once in it would stay there and
look pleasant all the time That is
the idea-build your streets so that
they are pleasant to behold-look
pleasant all the time. 1t is cheaper
to do 80. But better still in many
plac:ls tha drain pipes could be put in

came time widen the street. Perma-
mont work is the Gully kind that is
worth while.

Queer Set Of
 Condolences Wreck of the Witch Hazel and Death of Congressman Sperry Oddly Cor
 related.

New Haven, Nov. 15-To those who unrelated facts, to those who are students of the law of coincidences, and to those who dig occasionally in- to the category of names there was sufficient ground for speculation in the happenings of Sunday and Monday to Keep them busy for a month.
 The lighthouse on the southwest ledge at the entrance of the break water was established through the ef- forts of Congressman Nehemiah D. Sperry and it is known to most of those who have occasion to refer to it as the ''Sperry light" sThe Sperry light has not been prominent in the public mind for many months, but on Sunday night the schooner Witch Hazel ran into the breakwaters on one end of which. the sperry light flashes its red and white warnings to travel CTS through the Sound. Ever since the news of that fatal wreck the Sperry light has been in the public eye to a greater extent than 1t has ever before been.
 One of the features Of the story of the wreck was the apparently un- founded charge of negligence against Captain Tutty, keeper of the. sperry light. Captain Tutty's full name is Lincoln Tutty and one of the men rescued and who was taken into the Sperry light was Ole Johnson.
 2 The next day after the wreck Con- gresman N. D. Sperry died. The name Lincoln appeared in the wreck and President Lincoln first appointed N. D. Sperry postmaster of New Ha- ven. The name Johnson appeared in the wreck and President Johnson re- appointed MT. Sperry to the postmas tership. e .et
 These are simply some coincidental problems for the student of the un- usual to work out

 Annual Meeting Scheduled Fo. Wolf Swamp Old Staff of Officers
 Probably Reelected

An important notice to stockholders

 day and attracted a great deal of att
 tention-more attention than the town
 pump has attracted since the long
 forgotten days when Bridgeport was
 no-license. The notice was for stock
 holders, shareholders, bondholders.
 directors and officers of the Park
 City Coon Slayers association, and
 warned them that the annual meeting
 of said association is to take place at
 Wolf Swamp, Connecticut. at 1:30 a.
 m.. Nov. g, when dividends will be
 declared and the annual election will take place.
 The Park City Coon Slayers associ- ation is composed of ardent admirers
 of that handsome beast. the raccoon. The associaticn's bonded debt is dis-
 tributed evenly among it's members
 and the rolling stock consists of one
 long-nosed keen scented coon dog, un-
 der the direct care of Al Schneider. Dividends are declared every time the
 rolling stock starts barking up tree,
 which usually follows after some of the members of the association have
 been barking up their shins through four Or five miles of swamp and wood- land, feloniously. in the night season. Members of the association discov-
 cred, after consulting the dictionary
 and other scientific sources, that their
 game. the raccoon. is member of the
 bear family. This alarming truth was discussed at the last meeting of the
 association and it was decided that it would be best always to have stim- ulants handy, in case any of the 0ld- CT members of the bear family should be encountered instead of the young and innocent Brother Coon.

which is about the size of red-winged black
bird the swamp blackbrd known to every coun-
try boy. The shrike preys on smaller BIRDS on
mice and on big insects which it empales on
thorns after making meal in the case or Dirds
and mice of the brains of the quarry. The
shrike is dressed In soft grays and while rather
a handsome bird it is by means of brilliant
attire
The African shrikes which DIR. Mearns col
lected and in which Theodore Roosevelt showed
a marked interest on the day In which he went
through the museum, are perhaps among the
most brilliant colored birds of the world. They
are not unlike the American scarlet tanager only
the scarlet is of the kind that seems to burn the
sight Colonel Roosevelt has been having lit
tie controversy with Scientist Abbott H. Thayer
over the question of the protective coloration of
birds and mammals. Mr.. Thayer. in a general
way, thinks that most animals have colora-
ton which protects them in a measure from
discovery 1t is known that this is perfectly true
of some kinds of wild creatures. but Mr.. Thayer
thinks that even brilliantly plumaged birds are
protected Colonel Roosevelt the day of his
visit to the museum held up one of the shrikes
in Its scarlet attire and said ironically, There's
a fine example of protective celebration" Look
ing at the bird might readily believe that
against background of green leaves it would
be the first object In the landscape to attract
attention
There ere storks in the African collection. l
think that three species included in the
captures. Now 1t must be understood that when
the expedition went into Africa 1t agreed
that there should be no killing beyond the actual
needs of science except of course when 1t was
necessary to kill game to supply the game table
with food. The rule that when a certain
number of mammals birds OF each kind had
been killed the shooting must stop and the num-
Der fixed was very small although of course this
regulation did not apply to destructive animals
like the beasts of prey. mice and other crop de-
stroyfng rodents
The rule which Mr. Roosevelt insisted upon
and In which the others readily acquiesced was
lived up to the letter. When DR.. Mearns had Sc
cured fixed number of storks he wanted to get
more because he thought there was some
point which might be decided If he could add
another stork to the collection. He told Colonel
Roosevelt he going to kill another stork
The colonel laughed and said, so it is reported:
Not your life" Mr.. Roosevelt's anti-race
suicide pronouncement may account for his de-
votion to the interests of the stork
When were ready to leave the museum Or
c. Hart Merriam. who has made careful study
of the collection brought back from Africa turn
ed to Colonel Roosevelt and said There can
be no possibility of mistake IN saying that the
expedition which you led was the means of Civ
ing to the National Museum the finest and most
valuable collection of African animals which
exists in the whole world. Science has profted
immensely as tbs result OF Jour labors."

mammals Of which hundreds and hundreds were
brought to America to give the student an ade-
Quate idea of the fauna of the African plains
mountains, valley and forests.
1t Colonel Roosevelts first glimpse of the
African quarry since he saw it living in its ma
tive wilds. 1t was his desire to know how per-
fectly the specimens had been prepared and
what deterioration, IL any. the climatic conditions
before shipment and after arrival had caused.
Accompanying Mr. Roosevelt in his trip
through the museum were Dr. c. Hart Merriam,
now tho head of the Hartman Geological Foun-
dation and former chief of the United States
Biological Survey Mr.. Edmund Heller, who
companied Mr.. Roosevelt to Africa and who pre-
pared most of the big game specimens for ship
ment; Edgar A Mearns, the ornithologist. who
accompanied the expedition and collected most
or the birds; Louis Agassiz Fuertes, the mann
mai and bird painter; John Snure, and myself.

collections are stored all to ourselves Colonel
Roosevelt spoke freely about his trip and told
many anecdotes in connection Herewith which

1t is hard to describe adequately the enthu-
siasm or the Oyster Bay hunter the natural

Colonel Roosevelt seemed to find special delight
One can exhaust all the color adjectiyes in the
English language and yet hardly do justice to
the hues and combination of hues of the plum
age of the tropical birds which the expedition
brought back from Africa. DR.. Edward A. Mearns
who is surgeon of the United States army, but
now on the retired list, did most of the collect
ing of feathered big game and small game DR.
Mearns Is one of the worlds foremost ornth-
ologists. While he was stationed with the troops
In the far west he made special study of the
birds of the sections in which he happened to be,
and on several occasions he authorized by
Uncle Sam to join scientific expeditions or
ganized to make Investigations and collections in
new territories.
1t is well known that in a general way the
more soberly clad birds are the best songsters.
For instance, take the hemit thrush and the
hooking bird of America. They are both dressed
In homespun, but they have voices of the kind
which people call fortunes in themselves"
There are some sober clad birds in the tropics
and there elsewhere they are the better
singers.
