 Worry Curtin

City officials were worried to- day about their old friends the StarIings who were "shacked" out of the Green two weeks ago, but who arc now hanging around buildings on LeavenwOrth and Grand streets, and are threaten ing to take over on the marble palace itself.
 No opponents of birth control, the starlingS seem to increase even out of season, and large squadrons are venturing over the City Hall, to the dismay and even chagrin of Supt. of Parks James J. Curtin, whose caged chicken hawk is laid up with frost bite and sciatica.
 Friend hawk made the headlines two weeks ago when Curtin tied him on a tree on the Green and made the sterlings scram. Their new roOsts near the City Hall, however, has defiated the Curtin boom and there is talk of revolt in park department CLIO.
 Veteran City Hall observers pre- dict, however, that if the birds take over the hall and Curtin's hawk hasn't recovered enough to scare them away, they will dig up some of the skeletons out of the palace closets.

STILL COVERING
 WESTERN FIELD
Among Many Picturesque Friends Was Famous
 Buffalo Bill

Hastings, Neb. 23.-"The Lord spoiled good prizefighter when he made a parson of you," the local blacksmith told George Allen Beecher, pioneer missionary of the Episcopal Church in Western Ne braska, and now rounding out 30 years as bishop of this area.
 The young missionary's parish spread out around him for 5000 square miles when he took charge back in 1892. His equipment, apart from the Union Pacific main line was a team. and buggy. With his bride, brought out after a five-year engagement, he explored his field. Villages were beginning to grow up along the water courses of the plains. The stage road was hardly more than a prairie trail, and the isolated settlers houses had to be reached with no road. Sometimes under burning sun and through alkali dust, sometimes, with little warning, through a blizzard that froze stage drivers hand and killed thousands of cattle, they drove their famous team of ponies.
 Friend of Buffalo Bill
 He acquired an extraordinary number of picturesque friends. Among them were: the country doctor, a partner in many pastoral ministrations to sick and dying; the crack shot and star performer of Wild West show; the intoxicated stage driver; the cowboy who later turned murderer and was hanged; i; the truant messenger boy in the railroad office who later became president of the road; Black Fox, famous Indian guide.
 In later years an English arch bishop and French cardinal were added to the list Even more famous was Col. William F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill. On one of their meetings, Bishop Beecher remembers that The in- vited me to ride with him in the parade. I took my seat beside him, and we headed the procession in front of the mounted cowboy band" {"
 Today Bishep Beecher at the age of 72, six feet four inches, erect and the picture of health, rides horseback, visits the churches of his district and administers its af- fairs. He ties together the pioneer days of the great West with the progressive era prevailing there to- day.
