The Sparrow Declining. News comes from Pennsylvania <*** the English sparrow is retiring before the advance of our native songbirds. At a meeting in Pittsburg of the State Ornithological association Dr. Thomas L. llazzard read an interesting report on the bird population of the Alleghany parks. In 1875 the park commissioners imported seventy-five sparrows from Philadelphia, and took such good care of them that all bat three died. The three survivors inaaaged to escape from fee shelter provided for them and a re- turn to their natural habits filled them with health and vigor. They began to raise families, and in a few years there were hordes of sparrows, while nearly all other birds were driven out of the parks by their pugnacious enemies. Lately, however, the sparrows seem to be less aggressive than they formerly were. Last spring Dr. Hazzard counted in the park* nine returns, four orioles, several bluebirds and other song birds. There had been seen in the parks during the summer tyred headed wooK. pecker, a downy wApecker, a flicker, yellow warblers ancflkveral other repre­ sentative birds of sw«et srtng and bright plumage. Another encouraging fact was that Dr. Hazzard coined daring fall in thj parks five robiu^^u ̂in good re- pair and three of last year's slightly damaged, four orioles* nests in good re­ pair and four not so good, as well as eleven other nests built by jlesirable birds of one sort or another. This made a total of twenty-seven nests, whereat? two years ago he had been able to find but two such birds* nests. --Rochester, Democrat » ; ^ .. jj living in Waihlnctoib :""7 ',t There is a general complaint again among members of congress about the high cost of living at the capital, and a number of the old members have de­ clined further service there largely on that account. Judge Forney, of Ala­ bama, a long time friend and associate of Samuel J. Randall, will not go back to Washington at the next session sim­ ply because he refused the renomination. Mr. Herbert, chairman of the commit­ tee on naval affairs, and Representative Peel, of Arkansas, the chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, old, experi­ enced members, havfe also voluntarily retired. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, who has served in the house for twenty years and as chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, also declined a renomi­ nation. Mr. Lanham, of Teihs, and several other members will not be in the next house because they find that they are wearing their lives out in the public service without being able to accumu­ late anything for the support of their families. Five thousand dollars a yeas- will not pay the expenses in Washington of any member with a family who at­ tempts to live as a member of congress is expected to do it here. There are a good many members who pay more than t hat for house rent, while there are senators who pay from $12,000 to $18,000 a session for mere living expenses at a hotel.-- Philadelphia Press. Bridging the Tiber. "O Tiber, Father Til>er, to whom the Romans pray !"* exclaims the brave Hor- atius on the bridge, in Macaulay's stir­ ring ballad. Xho "brave Horatius" would have had still more reason to apostrophize the Tiber had he lived in these days and seen the Tiber embank­ ment now approaching to completion. Taken in conjunction with the series of magnificent new bridges which form part of the scheme, it is described as decidedly the grandest work undertaken in Rome by the Italian government. The Ponte Margharita. a hue bridge con­ structed entirely of stone at the upper extremity of the Eternal C(ty, is already completed, as is the Ponte Cestio at the Tiberine isle. This latter is a bridge of three noble arches. A curious fact in relation to it is that the stones of the old Roman bridge which was pulled down were used iu constructing the new one, Kid 6V6S placed in the very same order in which they originally stood. The Ponte Um- berto--a bridge of very great importance leading to the center of the new quarter on the right side of the river, where the courts of law are being erected, is, pare- over, approaching completion. To the left of the Corso Vittorio Em- anuele, going down, a new and large road has been made, leading to another fine bridge, which is called, the Ponte Oari baldi. Finally, the Ponte Emilio, which took the place of the famous old Ponte Rotto, or broken bridge, is also complete. --Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Went to Prison for Aaotfaer. Among the convicts pardoned by tlw governor under the influence of Chris­ tian charity was George Beni, a Sicilian, who was sent up seven months ago for five years for stealing a watch. Angelo Milazzo, another Sicilian and a chum of Beni's, was alpo suspected, but as it was chown on the trial that Beni had pawned the watch and he refused to implicate Milazzo, he had to pay the penalty. At the time it was whispered among the Italians here that Beni was not guilty of the theft, but had sacrificed himself to save Milazzo, the real criminal, because the latter had a helpless family depend­ ent upon him. A month ago Milazzo died, and then the whole truth came out. It appeared that Beni had actually done as reported, and after his friend Angelo was beyond the reach of the law he acknowledged that he was suffering wrongfully. A petition for his pardon was immediately sent the governor, signed by the judge who tried the case, together with the story of Beni's self sacrifice, and the par­ don was issued.7-Memphis Cor. St. Louis Republic. The Champion Telephone City. Nearly 8,000,000 "hellos" have passed under the feet of the bustling crowds through the wires of the Bell Telephone company during the year ended Dec. 25. These "hellos" were uttered by the 8,250 subscribers of the company within the district bounded by the Delaware an > Schuylkill rivers, Kensington and "the neck." In* the surrounding districts, such as West Philadelphia, Frankford and Camden, over 1,000,000 more h,-,ve traveled over connecting lines into the main or local district. The latter dis­ trict now makes about 20,000 conn* > tions a day, or an average of 8 for each of the 3,250 subscribers. This is a great increase over the previous: year, when there were but 3,100 subscribers within the district.--Philadelphia Record. His Smoke Cost an Eye.

Raeing with a Waterspout. When the British steamer Amur, Cap­ tain from Caibarion, dropped anchor off Gloucester her outward ap­ pearance foretold the thrilling experi­ ences she had had with the elements. Dec. 19, when on the southern edge of the gulf stream, the ship had a narrow escape from total destruction by a wa­ terspout* which fortunately passed un­ der her stern not many yards from the ship. The first seen of this monstrous dis­ turbance • was in the shape of a heavy cloud on the horizon direct to windward, but as it drew near it appeared as though it would overtake the ship and send all on board to the bottom. It was a des­ perate struggle to get out of its way, and with the ship already in a disabled condition the engineer stood by with the engines wide open, realizing that it was a race for life. Nearer and nearer the dangerous water column drew to the ship, but by the time the noise of its ap­ proach met the ears of the crew the ship had gotten north to a place of safety. As it passed under the Amur's stern the noise was deafening. It quickly passed and disappeared.--Cor. Baltimore Amer­ ican. The Hair of aa Artist. It may not be known that when Pad- erewski was in this country last season he was under contract not to cut his hair. As soon as the London season was over he was shorn, and his friends say he was so eager to get to the barber and so rejoiced to get his hair cut that the power to have his own way in this mat­ ter, in fact, decided him to be his own manager. But when Paderewski actually laid hold of his own affairs it seemed, on the whole, better not to cut loose from his hair. At the last performance in London one woman feel prostrate oil her face at his feet. It required the absurd­ ity of this woman to bring the rest of the audience to its senses. While it is undeniable that Paderewskfs hair has been an interesting feature, it does not seem an important factor in his career. Nevertheless Paderewski returned with his halo.--New York Evening Sun. Walking to Chicago. Chicago will be the crank center of the Union during the fair, and the con­ vention is already assembling.

Death of a Famous Bear Doff. Southern Oregon hunters are mourn­ ing the death of John Griffin's famous bear dog, Trailer, who died a natural death a day or two ago. Trailer was the hero of more than a hundred bear fights in the mountains of southern Oregon, principally in the Siskiyous. Griffin has kept a record of Trailer's achievements and finds that he has caught 105 bears during his lifetime, including those treed, brought to bay and run into caves, where they were shot, besides catching numerous panthers, wildcats, etc.--Cor.

ONLY TEN CENTS A Bok ̂ - 4 ipii« of Am paper and a^okage tevefopMtor ml Is Cleveland to Betnm Harrison's Vavoif The promotion of Judge J. N. Scott, brother-in-law to President Harrison, to the newly created office of superintend­ ent of construction of public buildings on the Paciftc coast has given rise to the rumor that tiie president will request his successor that Judge Scott be retained in office by the incoming administration. Mr. Cleveland made a similar request four years ago of Mr. Harrison. The former had appointed Benjamin Folsom, Mrs. Cleveland's brother, to the lucra- TT i fn/1 on. 1 Sheffield, England. The salary is $3,500 per annum and perquisites aggregating another $1,000. When Oloveland retired from office he requested of his successor to retain Folsom in office, and President Harrison evidently considered this proposition in a favorable manner, for the reason that Folsom is about the only Democrat who is holding a consular office of any im­ portance abroad. Another relation of Mr. Cleveland's, a nephew, has held the office of special deputy United States marshal in one of the northwestern states during the last four years. The salary of the new office held by Judge Scott is nine dollars per day and traveling expenses, all of which is about equivalent to Folsom's remuneration. The duties of the office require constant traveling between cities where public buildings are being constructed. The officer examines the progress of the work and reports to the head office in Wash­ ington city.--Cor. Seattle Post-Intelli­ gencer. r Matrimonial Runners in Indiana. "Love will find a way," says the song. It has been finding its way across the Ohio river between Kentucky and In­ diana at the rate of 500 couples a year for a long time back. But the outlook now is that competition will prove not the life, but the death of trade in the matrimonial market of southern Indiana and northern Kentucky. In the small towns along the Indiana border the fre­ quency of elopements from the neigh­ boring state has furnished a new occu­ pation to certain Kentucky and Indiana gentlemen--namely, that of "matrimo­ nial runner." These runners watch for runaway lov­ ers, accost them and take them to cer­ tain civil magistrates in whose pay they are, and the officer of the law quickly unites the pair in marriage, exacting therefor a fee, part of which becomes the perquisite of the runner. In spite of the fact that stringent laws exist for the government of these magistrates, they have don© a lucrative business, and in the competition that has arisen between them and their runners the latter have at times in their wrangles over a dis­ tracted Lochiuvar and his sweetheart almost come to bloodshed. --Chicago Times. . " ' A New Slang Expression. Besides being very vulgar, a dang ex­ pression is undoubtedly the most com­ prehensive of language, and especially so in its up-to-dateness and its popular un- derstandableness. "Ah! yer trolley's off!" contemptuously sneered a scrubby little newsboy on Fulton street, Brook­ lyn, the other day to a companion with whom he was endeavoring to straighten out some difference of opinion. And "Your trolley's off" is getting to be pret­ ty generally used to express what has been indicated by "You'reoff your base." If Macauley or Charles Lamb offers any­ thing more terse or pithy, that would express to every one just what every one understands by "Your trolley's off," it would be worth quoting. Slang is perhaps richer in the history that touches the life and common experi­ ence of all the people most closely than most other words. Future generations may know the exact date when the trolley car was first used, but if they could discover just when "Your trolley's off" came into vogue they would know better when electric trolley cars began to be in general use and common to the people.--New York Sun. ,.

There was no sign of life oa deck, though no one can say what a closer look might have shown. But the captain of the great ship saw fit to pass on without even getting the name of the derelict. The indignation of the passengers is of no avail in such a case. The vessel was left to drift un signaled in the path of other steamers, a menace for a long time to come to every voyager who crosses the ocean,--New­ port News.__ , , Many€U»n«*ese4tir^ The congresses held in Spain during the centennial commemoration almost rival in number and variety those that it is proposed to hold in this city in 1893.

In an area of about fifteen miles square * Jyj below Trout creek there is estimated to v" v be a band of at least 700 wild horses, * which are not only eating off the but becoming a more direct source or T'» vl loss to stock owners. As an instant of ' _ -„* this it may be mentioned that a mar© ^ ,, belonging to George Barclay and valued;, •*?{ - at $150, together with a valuable filly, ^ were enticed into the band recently. ^ i,' \ - The government, so far, though sev- eral times petitioned, seems indisposed , to tackle the wild horse question or give permission to settlers to shoot down these miserable cayuses, thinking that "j§| they are all claimed by the Indians. M The Indians, however, are as much in- r' ' , ̂ jured by them as the whites, and fre- * ^ * X | quently shoot theqi down, though cot- \ £ • *' *'5 tainly claiming some among them. All t" Ml 4 J false sentiment should be put aside in a case of this kind and permission given „ ".s for a general roundup by both whites and Indians, to take place at a stated * date.

I., a few days ago, had been bedrid­ den, it is said, for thirty-eight years. The deceased was remarkable for her memory and intelligence. When she was nine years old she was stricken down, and from that time never left her bed. After a time her feet became locked one upon the other and knitted together-- the right being concealed beneath the left. Her hands were without palms, and four bits of boneless flesh six inches long on the right wrist and three on the left were her fingers. Her head was ab­ normally large, and her hair long, and her face and eyes expressive. She was also dwarfed by the disease, and at the time of her death was but three feet fia height.--Philadelphia Ledger. . a • at " : .Y - ' •-T :;T^ ' A Crew In Dwance Tile.
