ICE SUPPLY AMPLE.
Probably No More Shipments From
New England This Season.

So far this season but two barge loads
OF natural ice have been brought here.
and the officials of the American Ice
Company state that unless the remainder
of the summer and fall is exceptionally
hot not more ice will be needed, as with
the output OF the plants and the supply
in storage the demand can be easily sup
piled Barge No. II OF the Consolidation
Coal Company fleet. which arrived here
about eight days ago. yesterday COM
pleted unloading and was taken around to
Georgetown to take aboard a cargo OF
soft coal for New England points.
The ice unloading equipment at the 9th
street wharf OF the American Ice Com
pany. II is stated. will in the coming
week be disconnected and made ready TO
lie idle until next summer. All the ice
that will be needed at Alexandria this
year has been received. so that probably
no more ice-laden craft will come UP the
Potomac in several months to come.
A big ice plant is to be erected at Al
exandria between now and the coming OF
the next Ice season. and If il is ready for
service in the coming spring lce-laden
vessels Will be few on the Potomac in the
future.

Man He Discovers in
His Room.

Phelan c. Hawn Of 1910 10th street
northwest chased a burglar through his
home yesterday morning about o'clock
The burglar escaped after taking Mr.
Hawn's trousers and getting $12 and q
bunch Of keys from one Of the pockets.
Fearing the burglar might harm him.
Mrs. Hawn delayed her husband In his
attempt to apprehend the intruder, and
had 1t not been for the delay the man
might have been captured.
Mr.. Hawn was aroused by a noise in
his room and. when he awoke. saw the
form Of q man near the bed. The robber
grabbed a pair OF trousers and hurried
from the house, taking the money and
keys and dropping the trousers in the
yard.

Story Worth Reading.

'Wally Jones" is the title of a bully
story That has been given leading place in
The Stars next Sunday Magazine. The
fact that it occupies this position, and
also that the author Is Lloyd Osbourne,
will cause our readers to take up this par
ticular issue with pleased expectation.
And their expectations will be realized,
for Mr. Osbourne has employed all the
charming skill of his gifted pen and lively
imagination and made a most entertain
ing bit of fiction. Wally Jones was a
scene painter in love with a beautiful
young woman, but lie thought his case
was hopeless because she was sought by
a wealthy society man who could offer
her everything she lacked, while he,
Wally. had nothing to give except his
rather ordinary personality. And then, to
make his case worse, she was suddenly
announced as having inherited a million
dollars That made Wally drop utterly
out of her life But the story does not
end here, for that would make il banal
indeed.

BIRD SEASON SOON TO OPEN.
Hunters Getting Ready to Invade
the Nearby Marshes.

The hunting season for reedbirds.
blackbirds. sora and others opens in the
early part Of next month. Already sew
eral large fiocks of birds, mostly black
birds. have made their appearance in the
marshes Of the Eastern branch. II q
plenitude of wild oats and other wild
grains is any sign of a good hunting sea-
son the coming one should be ex-
ceptionally good The marshes Of the
Eastern branch and those along the Poto-
mac near Jackson City and at Four-mi
run and near Shepherds landing. oppo-
site Alexandria, are covered with thick
growth of grain grasses-so thick that
they look as if it would be difficult to
push a hunting skiff through them.
AS a precaution, to prevent the shooting
Of the birds before the opening of the
cunning season, the harbOr police force,
for a week or longer, has been patrolling
the hunting grounds in the District, and
will continue to do so until the first Of
the coming month. For several years
past this patrol work of the harbor men
has stopped all preseason shooting, and
so far this year not gun has been fired
in the marshes. AS consequence the
birds are tame compared with what they
were in former years when they were
hunted for two weeks or longer before
the season opened.
