BARTOW MAX VISITS AX OSTRICH
FARM IX JACKSONVILLE.
HE LEARNS MUCH OF THE BIRD.
Enlightens tlie Children Regarding the
Habits and lteineanur of the
Interesting Creatures.
While in Jacksonville, Fla., recently
"Bill Arp" visited the ostrich farm in
the snburhs of that city and writes as
follows:
This ostrich farm was planted here
011 last Thanksgiving day. It is a
hrauch of the one at Galveston. A few
years ago these enterprising men
gathered and bought fifty-two young
1 1 _ 4 f~! rn 1 s * t
oirus in evince. i ney cunriereu n
vessel ami landed thirty-nine of tliein
safely in Galveston. The others died.
Tiust fall Mr. Pearson, who is a Mississippiati,
brought over here a number
of adult birds and also a pair of
those that eame from Africa. He has
* here now about thirty which are grown
and married and lias a number of
chicks from two days to four mouths
old. There is a large inelosure,where
the males and females of marriageable
age are turned in and kept until the
male makes his choice. The female
acquiesces without any coquetry. The
pair are then transferred to a smaller
inelosure, where the male at once begins
the process of subjugation. He
treats her most shamefully?strikes
her, bites her, pursues her and gives
the poor thing no rest. T sn" him at
it, and wanted to take a big nick and
maul him. Complete subjugation is
his animus and after he gets that aud
she humbles herself to the ground and
pleads for mercy his whole manner is
changed. He takes her to wife and
treats her with the greatest considerntian
mid kindness the rest of their
married life.
Very many of these birds have mated
and every pair has a separate enclosure,
say about fiOxlOO feet, where they
raise their young. The hen lays from
twelve to twenty eggs?lavs them on
the ground in a saucerlike place,where
the sand has heen scooped out. The
eggs ft>'e in full view and have no protection.
When the litter is all laid the
male bird begins the incubation and
sets upon them everyday from 4 p. 111.
until !) o'clock next morning. The female
then promptly takes her place
and sets from i) a. m. until 4 p. in.,
but always takes a few minutes off
about noon to | artake of her dinner,
which the keeper provides and consists
of chopped cabbage and clover
bay and small stones and oyster shells.
T forgot to mention that the hen i'ays
an egg every other day and the time
of incubation is forty days. My son,
who was with me, remarked to the old
Englishmen that our common liens
laid ail egg every day and 011 Sunday
they laid two. "Is that so," paid he.
"I was not aware of that. It is indeed
very wonderful, and how does the hen
know when Sunday c-mes?"
"Oh," said my son, "they hoar the
clinreli hells ring."
"Wonderful, wonderful," said the
old man with the simplest credulity.
So devoted is the male bird to liis
first love, his fiancee, that he cannot
by force or persuasion be induced to
take another. We saw a poor, miserable,
lacerated ben in hospital tpiarters.
She hud all the skin torn from
her breast and Mr. Pearson said the
keeper made a mistake when he transferred
a pair and placed the wrong
female in the iuclosure and the male
tried to kill her immediately and liked
t<? have succeeded. She was not his
briile mill be knew it
As soon as the eliieks break the eggs
and come forth they cat nothing for
two or three ?lays. The mother takes
them ui> gentlv with her bill and
warms them under her wings or hovers
over them in the sand. T suppose
that is where the expression came
from?"under the shadow of thy
wings." I saw but one new born
chick. It was only two days old.
There were quite a number of halfgrown
birds and they are ungraceful,
unseemly and almost hideous. Indeed,
the adult birds are not much better
after their plumes have been pulled
out. Every nine months they have to
submit to this degradation, for the
plumes bring in the revenue. Kach
male bird gives but 12 black olumes at
a picking, and these are worth from 34
to 37 each. They are exquisitely beautiful
ami if I had been rich T would
have purchased a pair for my bride.
The females are a light color of brown
and white nnd furnish from 00 to 10(1
plumes in a senson, but they do not
bring half so much.
.>lr. 1'eiirRon says that ostriches well
kept live to he seventy-five years old
and it does not cost much to keep
tlieni?not half as much as it does to
keen n horse or a cow.
Old Cirover Cleveland is the largest
and finest hird on the farm. He
stands, wheu erect, nhout eleven feet
in his stockings and his mate.Frances,
is the finest female hird. They have
raised one brood and have begun on
another. The Prince of Wales and
his wife, liHTy l.angtrv, are tl?e next
best. Then comes Mark Hanna ami
wife and McKinley ami no wife, for,
alas, he killed her in a tit of passion
and has not yet chosen another.
Then there are Teddy Roosevelt and
his wife, Cuba, and their little newhorn
child, Florida. Next are Admiral
Schley and wife ami next Mr.
Pearson pointed out General Wheeler
nod wife. "Why,''said I, "General
Wheeler hasn't any wife."
"No, hut he wants one, all the
same," said lie: and next came Rob
Fitzsiinmons and wife?the meanest
bird it? the lot, said he, for he is uti
exception to the rule and tights his
wife and everything else in sight.
Well, of course, there was a very
Hue pair which were called Dewey
and wife nnd another pair called Sngastu
ami wife.
This is enough to give the young
people an idea about ostriches and it
would have pleased theiu to see one of
these noble birdn hitched to the beautiful
little buggy and driven around by
Mr. Pearson. Altogether it was a revelation
to me. and I enjoyed by visit.
It seems to mo to be a very simple
business and one that does uot require
any more genius than raising mules
or cows or sheep. Jacksonville is a
beautiful town. Its has grown into
beauty within the last few years. Its
cleanliness is a most attractive feature.
Its beautiful wide streets
paved with vitrified brick, its handsome
public buildings and private
residences, its general air of comfort
nnd hospitality, and its polite and

A lioston special says: Cotton mills
generally in tho New England states,
operating more than three-quarters of
the total number of spindles in the
north, began work Monday under an
advanced wages schedule, which in
nearly all of tho mills is about the
1 same as that which existed prior to
the gouernl reduction made in the
early part of 1898, and which, it is
estimated, directly affects from 180,000
to 140,000 hands, employed by more
than 120 corporations.
The reduction made in 1^98 averaged
a littlo more than 10 per cent. In Fall
Itiver mills, which include 2,192,220
spindles of the 10,85.1, 1 -III in New

ENULAND ACCEPTS PLAN.

Comuiistlon Will loTettlgato Ha moan
Trouble ami Report to Power*.
A Washington dispatch says: Lord
Salisbury has accepted the plan proposed
by Germany for the settlement
of the Sauioan trouble by the uppointluout
of a tri-pnrtito commission. Tho
acceptance is on the broad principle
only, and the details of the arrangements
are yet to bo agreed upon. As
the United States lias already accepted
the general preposition there is no
longer doubt as to the orgauizatiou of
the commission.
It is not believed in Washington
that there will be any difficulty in arranging
the details of the commission
plan for the settlement of tho Hamoan
trouble arising from reluctance on the
part of tlio British government to
throw aside the Berliu treaty. I
The state department does not expect
that it will be necessary to go far (
outside of the lines of that convention ,
to secure a satisfactory adjustment of ]
the present difficulties. As there ap- ,
pears to be'an apprehension that the
proposed commission may not be
limited in its functions sufficiently to
meet the British ideas it may Vie said
that the plan in contemplation safeguards
all essential points.
It is proposed that the commission
shall visit the islands, make a careful
inquiry into existing conditions and
then apply such remedial measure as
may seem to be necessary to insure
tranquility. It will be purely temporary
in character and subject to the
approval of the three governments
party to the Berlin treaty.
Then tho commission will bo expected
to frame a scheme for submission
to and approval by each of the
three powers for the future government
of the islands, involving perhaps
some more or less radical changes in
the original Berlin treaty.
v; n ..< it., it ? i?
ui iuu uiifc
therefore, ehnncos tlie loss of any substantial
interest in the Samoau group
l>y accepting this commission plan,
nml this is probably the explanation
of the annouuced acceptance by the
British government of the principle of
the commission plan.
The president has not yet made a
selectiou of commissioners who shall
represent the United States government,
but a decision is expected very

STARTLING INCREASE OF CRIME.
IihIkc IttUyer, of Georicin, l'rrltciitfi Figures
nt Baptist Coil veil t Ion.
In the Georgia state Baptist convention
held in Savannah, Judge John
Hillyer, ex-mnyor of Atlanta and formerly
on the superior court bench,
presented a report frVnn the committee
on crime and lynchiugs.
After reading the report the judge
gave gome startling figures upon the
increase of crime, urging the consideration
of the question upon the church,
and suggesting that, as the law was
slow, the legislative body be appealed
to to note the facts and figures and to
urge action upon that body.
Judge Ilillyer said that in the United
States there were more homicides than
in Scotland, England and Prussia. The i
matter had been brought before the
bar associations in 1804 and 1800. Iu
1801 there were 0,000 homicides in
the United States, and in 180(5 there
were 10,000. In tho past year more
homicides were committed in the
United States than men were killed in
Cuba and more than fell at Gettysburg
or in the Philippines. People
were losing confidence in the law's
slowness and lack of interest in the
public minds.
The press lias been remarkably
quick in bringing the matter to the
attention of the public, but tho ease
with which verdicts are set aside in
tho court room and the facility with
which notorious criminals escape punishment
have brought much of this
about. Tho amount of crime is increasing,
and it seems that the criminal
is tho only one that has any rights.
The people lose confidence in the efl'ectivoness
of the law to punish criminals.
Hence the increase in lynchings.
The resolutions call upon the legislature
to so amend the code of criminal
procedure and enlarge the powers of
the courts as to let all men know that
the law is willing and able to do immediate
and thorough justice in every
case. They assert that lynchings are
a result of distrust in tho promptness
and efficacy of the legal machinery.

With an expedition splendidly furuislied
by Emperor Charles V., Magellan
net sail on August 10, 1519. He
crossed the Atlantic, touched at the
Bay of Bio de Janeiro, inado his way
nouthward, repressed savagely a dangerous
mutiny, and on October 21 entered
tho strait which bears his name.
On November 28 he passed out of it
with only three of his five vessels left,
and fonnd himself and his rejoicing
erews in the Paciiic. He felt that he

the vast exteut of theuew ocean;
aud sailing ou for days and days, in
some fashion missed th> countless is*ands
of the Pacific, and did not see
land until he reached the little group
which he called the Lndroues, because
the inhabitants stole a boat from
him. There he lingered a short time,
either at llota or in the curious br.rbor
of Guahau. From the Ladrouos,
which were discovered March (5, 1521,
the weary voyage was contiuued until
a new archipelago was reached, ou the
fifth Sunday of Lent. Gradually the
magnitude of this new discovery beoame
apparent, and Magellan named
the new group in honor of St. Lazarus,

way to Cebu, flattered themsolves that
they had converted and subdued the

Such was the tragic ending of the life
of Miss Serena Green, who died ia
Philadelphia the other week. Miss
Green at the time of her death was
seventy-six years of age. She was living
alone in her home and had always
used candles and lamps in preference
to gas, because she had had n prejudice
against it. In fact, there had
never been any gas pipes laid in her
house. The house two doors from
Miss Green's was occupied by her
nephew, and one morning during the
cold snap when the family awakened
their house was tilled with the odor of
escaping gas. The family in tho house
bctwoen Mr. Alexander and his aunt
were also so anuoyed by the gas that
they were obliged to koop their windows
open. Mr. Alexander dressed
aud went to his aunt's house to see if
she was troubled in the same way.
Rings at the door bell failed to waken
tho old lady, and the neigbors finally
broke in the door. Tho gas poured
out in such volumes that they were
obliged to wait awhile before entering.
When they did so, they found Miss
Serena calmly sleeping tho sleep of
death. The gas in her house came
from a break of a pipe in the reir of
the middle house. It had tir-ed its
way between beams aud 1 after and
found an outlet in the house occupied

Microbes Set Fire to Havstucks.
There have been many theories to
account for the spontaneous combustion
of haystacks. This plieuoincnou
is now ascribed to a microbe which
breeds in the close, moist atmosphere
of the hay and causes a fermentation
which generates heat, and linally
ignition. Herr Benesch, who has au
experimental farm at Mcirhof, has
long been making tests of hay under
various conditions of moisture and
prossure. Daring his experiments he
discovered a method by which fanners
cau always be coguizaut of the state
of the interior of the stack. He has
devised a kiud of long form, by which
a sample of hay can bo drawn from
any part of a stack at any time and
examined, to see whether it is abnormally
warm or not.?St. Louis GloboDomocrnt.
