PIONEERS OBJECT TO MAKING
 EAGLE THE PET OF CONGRESS

EAGLE THE PET OF CONGRESS
 Anchorage Pioneers, who fee lthat they know more about the habits of the American eagle than do members of Congress, are protesting against the proposal to put the eagle on the protected list in Alaska, and the fol- lowing resolution was recently adopt ed by the igloo:
 Whereas, there is now pending in Congress bill to prohibit the killing of the American eagle in continental United States and the territorial DO sessions thereof, being s. 2908, and
 Whereas, the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska has placed a bounty of $1 per head for the de- struction of the eagle in Alaska; and
 Whereas the eagle is predatory bird which lives exclusively on the wild l.le-mink, marten, ermine, muskrat, ptarmigan, ducks, geese, and the young of sheep, goats, fox and other wild animals; and ki.,s whenever opportunity offers, not only for food but also for the mere desire of killing; and
 Whereas it is estimated that the amount of fur-bearing animals de- stroyed by one eagle during the year is greater than that taken by a trap per during the trapping season; and
 Whereas a continuous and persist ent propaganda is promoted by cer- tain Audubon societies, nature lover, and visionary dreamers living remote from Alaska, ana having no interest in the Territory or those who are un- dertaking it's development, to restrict the use for food and the taking for fur of the wild fife of Alaska by the inhabitants of the Territory; all though sanction is given to sportsmen and pleasure seekers to come into the Territory and take trophies of big game, irrespective of its use for food, and to kill wild fowl and small game for pleasure; and
 Whereas tn eprinciple upon which the federal game law fer Alaska is based makes it necessary for the resi- dent of the Territory, whenever he desires to take game for food, or fur for profit, to find some special pro- vision in the la wwhich specifically covers the conditions as to time, place, occasion and method of taking, otherwise the taking is made illegal; and
 Whereas the law is not approved by the people of Alaska, and is espe- cially designed opromote system of 'bootlegging' in Alaska furs, which is urged by impractical theorists as a need for more restrictions and more game wardens; and
 Whereas the people of Alaska are looking forward to the time when the fertile valleys of the Territory will be fillew with domestic sheep and cattle, and the hlls and northern steppes will pasture vast herds of domestic rein deer; and the mink, marten and fox will be pen-bred; and the wild ani- malls and the predatory birds and beasts will be confined in parks and geological gardens; and
 "Whereas the people: who are now trying to keep Alaska, as a federal game preserve, and have : ded,cated the Territorye4o the bear; yeagle and wolverine, havesno interest in the de- velopment of the vast mineral and op1.icu1tural rasnurces Of the Terri.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

A new card-table cover makes even
an old card table look new. So the best
way to renew your card tables for Sum-
mer games is to get new covers for
them You can make these covers
yourself.
One kind is made of cretonne, a
square two inches bigger than the table,
bound or hemmed about the edges, with
strips of elastic fastened underneath
across the corners to hold the cover in
place, or tapes fastened to tie under the
corners.
Another kind is made Of special
sort of oilcloth sold for covering card
tables. This, too, is bound about the
edges and fastened on with elastics or
cords at the corners.
You may use black sateen covers for
your card tables. These may be ma
chine stitched about the edges or else
buttonholed coarsely with q colored
thread, or crocheted around the edges.
Colored or black satin may be made up
in the same way.
Embroidered linen covers are also at
tractive, and some women prefer these
because of their look of cleanness and
freshness. They may be kept spick and
span by laundering and that seems a
specially in warm weather
These linen covers may be of any
color. Oyster white, with four cards
embroidered-one at each corner-in
black and red, is effective.

lend artistry to social relations.
When events of life take turn that
seem overwhelming, remember the con-
ventIons. In them lies safety. Forget
that they are trite. The fact that they
have been used often gives them added
strength. Precedents in law are trite,
but they are carefully adhered to. A
person who follows conventions is out
of the limelight of adverse criticism
So when a woman is Sorely pressed
to know just now to act in trying
situations, If she will fall back upon
conventions she will act wisely
There are persons who think 1t is
smart to defy these rules. It Is pos
sible to be original in ones behavior,
which is sometimes mistaken for a
disregard of fundamental principles.
A fippant and off-hand manner is
sometimes assumed, and acts as a
veneer to cover a truly conventional
foundation. Difficulties beset such a
course, but eventually the strength of
character underlying this veneer is
appreciated.
When one is beset with the misery
Of being misunderstood, or the anx-
ieties of money affairs, or the known
failure to accomplish some cherished
plan, or any of the thousand and one
things that make it difficult to face
the world of our friends and acquaint-
anceS, then conventions prove a bless
ing Following them steadieS the
thoughts. Perhaps, in the interim,
while such a course is followed, the
troubles may solve themselves. If not,
the wise way is pursued which will
eventually lead into correct outcome.

June Is, 1s65.-The Old Capitol
Prison on, Capitol Hill has been nearly
cleared of prisoners. At present there
are less than 100 men being held in
this famous wartime prison.
A majority of those left are sick or
wounded Confederates, who will be
cared for by the Federal Government
until their cases are disposed of by
the courts, or they are released and
means are provided for them to reach
their homes in the Southern States.
Thousands of Union and Confederate
soldiers and civilians have passed
through the Old Capitol Prison for a
short or long stay. charged with various
wartime offenses, in the last four
years.
the Union troops encamped near Wash
ington have become inpatient in re-
gard to being mustered out of the
service, and have attempted to get
home more quickly by taking French
leave" of absence. Today a squad Of
20 such men, all of whom were clad
in citizens Summer clothing, were
marched through the city streets to
the camp which they had recently de-
serted. They were under escort Of a
detachment of Cavalry. These deserters

westward.
The crowd of spectators continues to
be very large at the trial of the alleged
conspiratorS charged with plotting the
assassination of the late President Lin
coin and attempting the murder OF
other high Government officials. The
impression prevails generally that the
famous trial is drawing to a close.
Many persons, therefore, are availing
themselves of what they think may be
The last opportunity to visit the court
room and see the prisoners.
Mrs. Surratt, who has been one OF
the most interesting of the prisoners
from the viewpoint of the public, con-
cluded her testimony before the mill
tary court at the afternoon session to-
day. 1t is not expected that she will
be recalled
There was a sensational story cir
culated by New York newspaper this
morning to the effect that the pris-
oner Payne Is a son of Jefferson Davis,
president of the late Confederate States.
A circumstantial account of his birth
was related by the paper and 1t caused
much "buzzing" among the crowded
spectators in the court room, being the
chief topic of gossip today.
Apparently, however, the members OF
the court and the Government officials
concerned in the case give no credence
whatever to the story, but regard 1t
as merely another one of the sensa-
tional reports that have lately been
circulated without any foundation in

witches into the chamber. One was
from the House restaurant. The other
was from the dining room Of a hotel.
Before the eyes of the House he took
the two sandwiches apart.
The price Of the first was IS cents,
that Of the second 10 cents.
How, Underhill asked, in the face
Of the facts, can Murphy stick ito his
criticism that Congressman must pay
in their own restaurant rates equal
to those charged in any f1rst-class res
taurant."
What peeved Underhill was that
Murphy, who is chairman of a subcom-
tee, did not consult him when his
committee went into the needs of the
restaurant for the coming year. In
stead. Murphy went to the clerk of the
House on the grounds that in previous
years he had been unable to get such
