The efforts in Congress to protect mi
gratory birds by appropriating money to
enforce the law viii be heard of with
pleasure by countless people throughout
the country. The sum Of $4,000 is none
too large when it is considered that a
very wide territory is included in a fed

WORK OF Y. M. c. A. BUREAU,
Increase in Applications for Employ
ment and in Positions Procured.

Registrations at the employment bu-
reau of the Y. NJ. G. A. within twelve
months, according to report made
public today. increased 66ss per cent,
and the number of applicants placed in
positions showed a proportionate in
crease.
In the twelve months to December 1
IT, men and boys were placed in posi-
lions at salaries ranging from $3.50 a
week to $1,000 per year. This number
does not include many urgent cases
where temporary work was found;
where food, shelter and clothing were
provided while work was being found,
and where applicants were turned over
to other organizations, which later
placed them in positions.
A special feature of the years work
has been the effort to obtain a closer
relationship between parents and the
employers of boys under eighteen. To
this end personal letters have been
written to fathers of all boys placed in
positions, urging them to confer with
employers, and thus cooperate toward
the best interests of the boys.

Search for Dramatic Oddly.
From the New York Sun.

The successful plays of this theater
season have not been numerous, but
they have been marked by a quality
which has led the managers to decide
that what they call the punch" of a
play lies in the possession of this ele-
ment. This quality is oddly. If a play
was odd in form or construction, in the
mind of the theater manager it was at
least worth trial. In some cases this
novelty in manner was sufficient to at
tract. In some plays it served to keep
the public out of the theaters. What
was merely unusual did not serve to
interest audiences. When Il play was,
however, both Interesting and unusual
there was the certainty of popular APP
probation. But mere novelty in form
without some accompanying interest
did not reward the managers as they
had expected.
So it was not mere oddly that gave
value to the plays. 1t was necessary to
add some other quality to them. Now
adays mere oddity does not in the least
prejudice the public in favor of a play.
Perhaps its effect is otherwise, al
though it has always seemed true that
the good play, whatever its period or
styIe, Is certain to interest. At all
events, the reign of the merely bizarre
in the theater is at an end, and the
conventional is certain to be more in
demand than ever. OF course the quail
ity of the conventional must be of the
best, but the brief vogue of oddly has
passed for the present.

BRICKS TAKEN FROM LIGHTER.
Attempt to Raise Craft to Be Made
in Few Days.

The work of removing the bricks aboard
the District lighter lying in twenty-five
feet of water in front Of the 10th street
storage yard was completed yesterday
and it is now thought it will be but a
question of Il day or two before the light
CIR, with the few bricks remaining
aboard will be brought to the surface.
She will then be taken to shipyard to
locate and stop the leak that caused
her to sink.
The lighter, with $1,000 bricks, sank
about ten days ago and for the past week
worklnen, employed by the workhouse au-
thorities, have been engaged in bringing
her to the surface. 1t WAS thought that
both the lighter and it's load of bricks
could be lifted, but after several trials the
effort was abandoned and clanshell
dredge was brought to the wharf to dig
the bricks off the lighter. Owing to the
difficulty of picking up the bricks slow
work was made, but about $4,000 of the
A., 900 bricks on the lighter were saved
Several thousand of the bricks left on the
lighter probably will be lost.

COURT ISSUES MANDAMUS
IN SUIT OVER LAND TRACT
Secretary Lane Made Defendant in
Proceedings Brought by Oklahoma
Townsite Company.

Justice Stafford in the Supreme Court
/ of the District of Columbia today or
dered that a writ of mandamus issue
against Secretary Lane of the Interior
Department to compel him to issue 4
patent to 100 acres of land adjoining
the townsite of Duncan. Okla
The case arose on a suit brought by
the Duncan Townsite Company. which
alleged it had paid $4,000 for the tract
on the strength of government records
showing that the land had been allot-
ted to a Chickasaw Indian named Mich
oias Alberscn, who had been enrolled on
tribal rolls by the Secretary OF the
Interior and to whom an allotment Ger
ltificate had been issued. The Secretary,
after the land had been sold by Alder
sons heirs, Cancelled Nicholas enroll
ment on the ground that he had died
before September %, 1902. and there
| fore was not entitled to enrolment.
| The courts decision was based on the
ground the townsite company was
shown to be an innocent purchaser.
The company was represented by At
torney Charles H Merillat and the gov
eminent by Assistant Attorneys Cen
eral West and Wright.

Quaint Customs in the Cumberlands

From the Christian Endearor World.
The great days in the mountains gen.
orally depend upon the state of the
creek-beds, which are almost the only
roads. III the spring these highway S
are flooded and the mountaineer trav-
els very little. 1t is in the autumn that
sociability is possible. There are
"corn-shuekings," "baptizings'' (often
performed in muddy branch or creek,
and the great camp meeting of the
mountains, the Baptist Association. 1t
is here in the Cumberlands that all
ramifications of the Baptist belief
f1ourish-Hardshell. Missionary, Iron
clad and others. Every one within
miles attends. They ford the rivers on
highways in jolt-wagons; horses,
mules, oxens, are all pressed into serv-
ice for this great occasion. Last are
the horse traders. Il motley, disreputa-
BILE crowd, often the worse for too much
'moonshine." Armed to the teeth, they
present the appearance of desperadoes,
and it is safe to assert that the re-
ligious aspect of the camp meeting has
little charm for them.
But perhaps the strangest of all GUS
toms is that of holding preaching serv-
ices long months after the burial or
the dead. Two years have sometimes
elapsed before the memorial service;
in one instance the bereaved widow
man" sat beside his second choice. who
wept profusely over the fate of her
predecessor There are several rea-
sons for the postponement of the ser
mon-one, that preacher is often
miles away and not available until the
season of good roads.
