NO CRIME TO EAT QUAIL.

The serving of quail in the pub
lie dining room of hotel is de-
clared by Judge H. Grady Hun
gate to be no violation of the
game laws, provided no extra
charge is made for the luxury and
it is served on the regular bill Of
fare. In the City Court. Game
Warden Hyde made John Robin
son, dining room manager of the
Oaks Hotel, defendant in a CON-
plant charging him with serving
quail to his guests, contrary to the
game laws. The evidence being
to the effect that the birds were
served as an extra dish, without
any extra charge or substitution
for meat course, led Judge Hun
gate to the conclusion that there
had been no violation Of the law
and he dismissed the complaint :

ENGLISH BEST COMMON

language, in the opinion of Pro-
lessor Carney of Louvain univers-
ity, Belgium. He made this state
ment in the form of reply to the
question addressed by the North
ern Peace society to prominent
linguists in various countries as
to which language would be best
adapted to universal use. After
declaring in favor of English, M.
Carnoy wrote:
"The German and French
languages have lost their place
through the war. The English
language is a hospitable one. be
ing kind of compromise between
the Latin and Germanic tongues /;
also it is simple and is spoken by
most progressive nations Of the

beautiful literatures Of modern

alarmed for its safety and nerv-
ously apprehensive at the out
look. AS Tuesday, the 23rd of
April passed and no soldiers
came, pacing the floor of the ex-
ecutive office in restless anxiety,
Lincoln exclaimed in tones of
anguish: "Why don't they come !!
Why don't they comet
It was bitterness of hope de-
ferred that led Lincoln, in mis-
speech the following day, to the
wounded soldiers of the Sixth
Massachusetts Regiment to burst
out Ironically: 81 begin to be-
lieve that there is no North. The
Seventh Regiment New York; Is
myth. Rhode Island is another.
You are the only real thing!'
But finally the New York and
Rhode Island regiments arrived,
as well as other troops, and when
Lincoln felt their actual presence,
and knew that there was a route
from the North to its capital open,
and that other troops were on the
way soon to arrive, he felt that the
safety of Washington, was assured.
"Ten thousand of our troops are
arrived here" wrote Seward on
April 9th, and the city is consid-
cred safe"
That Lincoln had cause for
alarm is shown that when he
asked for a statement as to the de-
tense from General Scott, Scott
informed the president on Mon
day, April %, that he could de-
fend "the capitol, the arsenal and
all the executive buildings against
10000 troops not better than our
district volunteers.
This was not very encouraging

transported his army of between
5000, and 5000 from Charleston
to Alexandria in three or four
days, and from that point six to
fifteen thousand Virginia militia
were available to join him. But

BITS OF HISTORY.

When there was no longer
question of doubt in 1861, that
war was inevitable between the
two sections of our country, nat
urally all eyes turned to Washing
ton as the central point about
which the conflict would revolve.
After Fort Sumter had been evac-
uated and Lincoln had set out a
call for 5000 troops and the Con
federates had made call for 100,-
600 volunteers, naturally the next
thing to do was to await the out
come.
Washington was in fever Of
excitement. Troops from the
North were rushed to the national
capital, for it's protection. as fast
as they could be prepared and
transported The gravity of the
situation was heightened by the
severence of communications, rail-
road and telegraphic, between the
capital and the North, and the
only means Of communication was
by private courier, and naturally
it was hard to get correct infor-
nation. and rumors of all sorts
filled the air.
Both the government at Wash
ington and the citizens were ap-
prehensive of an attack and prep
arations were made to stand a
siege. Panic seized the crowds OF
office seekers and they fed to the
North. MANY of the secessionists
afraid that the whole male popu-
lation Of the city would be i'm
pressed for its defence, departed
for the South.
Lincoln told a delegation from
the Y. M. G. A. of Baltimore, who
asked that no more troops be sent
through Maryland: "You ex-
press great horror Of bloodshed.
and yet would not lay a straw in
the way of those who are organ
izing in Virginia and elsewhere to
capture this city / have no desire
to invade the South but I must
have troops to defend this cap
ital."
Having a keen appreciation of
how much depended on his hold
ing the capital, the president was
