Worth Weight in Gold.

The bulletin states that the plumes of
the snowy aigret We're worth their

of stopping the slaughter so long as there
was market for the plumes Now, how

laws not only against killing the herons,
but against having the plumes with in

this law became general the bird would

with the expression of these sent

the article in question may have caused
against him will be promptly withheld.
1T should be stated in justice to Mr..
Strasburger that his attitude as a citizen
Of the District of Columbia has always
been one tending to favor the government
clerks as. since the beginning of the
movement looking to an increase Of pay
for the government employees, he has
steadfastly advocated the cause and been
one of the foremost in the movement, for,
as stated by him, it seems deplorable that
advances should have been made in the
salaries of nearly all other classes. while
the salary of the government employe is
practically the same it was years ago,
the fact that high prices
in all commodities have prevailed and
corresponding difficulty entailed upon the
government employe by reason of these
conditions"

His Business Largely Cash.

MIR. Strasburger is the proprietor Of
business established before him by his
father at the present location over thirty
eight years ago. The business has grown

THE incident is deeply regretted by

ton of the local NJ. w. A. camp
to donate $1,000 to the city toward
the price of a city hall, on the
grounds that the terms of the offer
made it impossible for the city
legally to accept.

voted to submit a proposition to
bond the city for S., 900 to build a
city hall and has called a special
election for Sept. 81. at which
time the voters of Laelede will de-
eide whether this proposition is
what they want or not.
