The Startling introduced.

In 1890, several pairs of starlings
were introduced into New York.
From that time they have multiplied
rapidly and pushed their way as far
north as far as Cast1eton, VT, and
Hanover, N. H., and south to central
New Jersey. Much interest attaches
to this bird (sturnus vulgaris) be-
cause it is such a common Old World
species. 1t is widely distributed in
Great Britain, Europe, Asia and At
RIGA. In these countries it has prov
ed so great a pest that it's further
importation into the United States
specifically prohibited by the De-
partment of Agriculture.
The starting though closely 'llied
to the blackbird family is quite bril-
liant in the sunlight. It's plumage is
metallic green and purple, heavily
spotted above and below with small
triangular spots of buff or white. The
female is less brilliant than the male.
They are very intimate birds, living
about the streets, building in CHIN
neys, church steeples, holes in trees,
roots, rocky cliffs or in the ground
The nest is large, made of straw,
roots, dry grass, or other plant ma
terial, and lined with feathers or
hair.
Starlings are social birds living
together in large f1ocks. Even
in the breeding season many FRS
often nest in the same locality. They
are intelligent, quick in action and
have retentive memory. Their flight
is straight and strong and consists of
a rapid tapping, followed by a glide
with a sudden descent. They per-
form very remarkable evolutions in
the air when chasing their insect
~~"v. They feed - grasshoDpers.
other insects, snails, grain, fruit and
seeds. Their common call-note sug-
gests the words Startling" or
star" Both male and female give
the twittering calls but the male is
more voluble.
Let US be warned about the star
ling, before it appears among US. In
England they often come in the night |
by the thousand, settling down like /
a huge cloud. In one of the special |
cases at the Fairbanks |
Museum may be seen the common |
Starting, the beautiful Glossy Star |
ling and White bodied Grackle of At |
RIGA, and the Bare-faced Startling and |
Sacred Grackle of the Philippines, |
India and Siam. 1t may be that the
will prove as undesirable
here as the English Sparrow in
America and the rabbit in Australia. |

The proprietor Of the National UP
Stairs Clothes Shop, at sos Ninth street

aid representative. He admits having
the finest array of real SIS value cloth

lie is selling them for SIS. This
kind of store is entirely new to the
city Of Washington. though it has
proved successful in. New York. Bos-
ton. Philadelphia, Chicago. and the
West. 49,
BY conducting his business on the
second floor instead of the first an
enormous amount Of rent is saved. To
this saving is added other economies.
such as the elimination of book
keeping department (all transactions
being on a cash basis) and the cutting
OF of all useless expenses such as elab-
crate window displays. show cases.
etc. These economies make possible
tremendous savings to the purchaser.
Suits which are retai1ed all over the
city for s25, are here at the one price
of SIS. -,
The store has already attracted wide
attention. because of Its unusual meth.
cd of doing business. The many men,
most of whom were skeptical of the
claims made by the National U. S. C. s..
who have visited the store have been
amazed at the genuineness of the Offer
The garments are identically the
same as. those sold by other high-rent
stores for S25. In point of style, range
OF fabrics, tailoring excellence. and
range OF sizes there is no more COM
plete or finer stock in the whole city.
Every suit In the house would be a
good value at the regular selling price
of SIS. The firm prides itself upon it's
its garments. and truly the stock that
is now displayed shows they have rea
son for their pride.

HARVEY NOT AGAINST WILSON.
Editor Who Ridicules Daniels Not
Angry with President.

The statement was made at the
White House yesterday that 1t does
not regard the attack by Col. George
Harvey on Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. in the North American Re-
view, as directed at the President.
Friends of Secretary Daniels said
that the motive for Col Harvey's at
tack could be found in an editorial
by Mr.. Daniels In his newspaper, the
Raleigh News and Observer, when
the break occurred between the Presi-
dent and Col. Harvey, in which he
said the best thing that had happened
to President Wilson was the dropping
of Col Harvey.
The Secretary declined to comment
on Col. tiarvey's article. The only
statement he made in connection with
the abolition of the wine-mess order,
one of the things for which Col. Har-
vey holds him up to ridicule. THE
only thing 1 care to say" said the
Secretary. "is that the results have
been most encouraging. 1t has been
a good thing for the navy"
