what little truck they grew are re-
called in the report Of +. ID.
Myriek, farmer near here, who says
that deer are eating ms tomatoes.
Myrick secuted the idea that it
might be rabbits doing the dam
age, declaring that he knows the
difference between : deer and a
rabbst track. He said that the deer
eat che tomatoes every night, and
he has been unable 10 keep them
off, as they refuse 20 pay any at
tention to scare crowg.
Old timers in the San Benito
section relate instances where deer
az everything that vas planted
and grew. IL was almost impos-
sible TO raise corn, tomatoes, let
tuce. or any other green vege-
tables on account Of them. Some
Of the early settlers made traps
for them, and frequently caught
deer. Others sat up at night and
shot them.
In those days il was almost i'm
possible to build a chicken house
that wild cats could not break into.
They pulled boards off the houses,
climbed in through the top, and
got in BY various other methods,
and the coyotes finished up the
deal By digging under, so that a
chicken grown to full maturity was
rather n rare bird.
But the deer incident now is
looked upon BY some as being
either n mistake or rare incident.

January 81, 1S04.-The Columbian
Library OF Georgetown was made q
body corporate by an act of Congress
approved today, and thus becomes the
first chartered library in the District
Of Columbia. The incorporators are
Stephen B. Balch, Joseph Nourse
Charles D. Green, John Craven, Francis
Lowndes, jr., and George French.
January 81, 1865.-Amid scenes Of
unusual enthusiasm the House of Repre-
sentatives today adopted by two-thirds
majority with few votes to spare, the
resolution to submit to the States an
amendment to the Constitution forever
abolishing slavery in the United States.
The great crowd in the galleries, de-
flying all precedent, broke into a great
demonstration of JOY, which will doubt
less long be remembered by those who
witnessed the event.
This is the amendment Endorsed by
the Republican national convention
when Mr.. Lincoln was renominated for
President last Summer. It Is known
that Lincoln used his influence to have
the amendment approved by the con-
vention. He urged 1t vigorously upon
Congress in his recent annual message
The resolution was passed in the Sen
ate without difficulty, but its fate in
the House has been doubtful. 1t was
believed until within a few hours of
the vote today that it would be close
enough to be decided by the toss of a
copper" 1t was known, of course. that
a majority favored the resolution, but
there was question about the two
thirds vote necessary to submit a con-
stitutional amendment to the States.
1t was on that account that the result
of the vote today was received with ex-
ceptional enthusiasm by the Presidents
supporters
There have been many vigorous ef-
forts in the last few days to win doubt
full votes for the amendment, in which
the President has helped

irksome. The recently resigned skip
per, Herbert Hartley. can testify to the
truth OF this. Herbert Hartley was a
sailor IN every inch Of his slender
frame. He witnessed during his IS
years at sea an amazing transition In
the sailing Industry. He never LETT

fuential people" asking that special
courtesies be extended TO certain pas
sengers.
The war found Capt Hartley In COM
mand OF the st. Louis. one OF the first
ships TO convey ammunition to France.
On one Of his trips he did not leave
the bridge for Sc hours.
Hartley was as popular In England!
as he was on this side He once told
the writer OF an amazing incident
which may be worth repeating. Capt.
Hartley's headquarters in England were
in the Savoy Hotel. London. Shortly
after his appointment as master of the
Leviathan the captain engaged his rooms
at the hotel. During succeeding wish.
he called at the managers Office and
expressed his pleasure AT the arrange
ments made for his comfort between
voyages.
