Schmid died Thursday night of congestion of the lungs. The birds were in a*thriving condition until about a week ago it was euspected they were receiving too much water and milk. Ostrich dist is recessarily in nature a dry cne, and the domesticated bird has to be carvfully watched in this respect. Both birds became unwell. In a day or two one improved, and the other, evidently of a cachectic constit ition, declined stead- ily until 1t could not stand, and Its breat! ing became labored and manifestly painful. Every effort was made to effect a cure. Half a dozen noied medical men and scien- t among them Dr. Salmon, Prof. Wood and Prof. Griffin of the National Museum. did all that could be done for the youn thing, but to no avail. Yesterday morning the bird was found dead in its pen. The mate stood by nib- tling ata bit of grass and looking as if fully recovered from its illness. An autopsy showed almost complete hepa zation of the left lung. In the gizzard was found quite a collection of things that only an ostrich can eat with satisfaction or impurity. Atnong them was a valuable gold cuff button, an tron screw an inch long, a brass ferrule, several china buttons, seme tacks, bite of china and some odd- shaped pleces of iron and lead. The cuff button belonged to Mr. Cugley. who took care of the ostriches. The bird seized it one day, jerked it out of the wristband and swallowed it before it could be prevented. It was a link button, and but tle was left to show what it had once been. The ogate settings were ground out of all shape and beauty, the gold link was gone and the trinket badly demoralized. Mr. Schmid gave the carcass to Dr. Salmon, who will prepare and articulate the skeleton, prob- ably for the National Museum, where it will have a special and peculiar interest to visitors as part of the remains of one of the first ostriches hatched in the District of Columbia. Mr. Schmid is pretty thor- oughly discouraged in his efforts at os- trich farming, but he says he will keep on and he has four of the huge eggs in an incubator, which will make a successful batch or “bust.” ——— Mr. Birncy Went A-Fishing. District Attorney Arthur A. Birney left Thursday evening last with a party of friends for a two weeks’ fiehing trip to a far-away point in West Vicginia. Mr. Bir- ney js an enthusiastic fisherman, and that fact alone would make the outing one of interest to his many friends. However, an incident has come to light that throws some doubt over Mr. Birney's apparent zeal. Mrs. Birney experienced considerable anxiety last evening when handed a tele- gram from her absent husband, but her distress of mind was relieved on reading: “Send my hing tackle and outfit at once. I forgot to bring It. ——— Transfers of Real Estate. Boyd M. Smith et ux. to Douglass F. Forrest, jut 65, sj. 133; $10. Mary J. Smith to W . A. Sunith, lot 6, sq. 351; $100.

NEW YORK, July 25.—The special bicycle race which has been arranged for this after- noon at the Manhattan Beach track be- tween the fastest riders chosen from the police forces of New York, Brooklyn, Phila- delphia, Boston, Payonne, Buffalo, Newark and Jersey City promises to attract a big crowd of people to the seaside track. There is a keen rivairy between the New York and Brooklyn “bike cops” and those from the other cities, and a good deal of speculation has taken place on the result of the race. The four Philadelphia scorch ers will be greeted with encouraging cheers from a delegation of well-known officials of the Quaker city. Among those who are ex- pected to be present are Mayor Warwic! Commissioner of Public Safety Riter, and Secretary Jim Hoyt, as well as repregenta- tives from the police department. Other delegations from the above-men- tioned cities nave also promised to be on hand, and special boxes have been set apart for their convenience. In addition to the policemen’s race there are several professional and amateur events which wiil no doubt prove very interesting and a comic feature of the day s amusement age costumes. tions are exceilent, and the only thing which may prevent fast time being maue will be a rather strong breeze, which will interfere with the wheelmen on the three-lap track SEERING —>—_ A TERMINUS, Japanese Stenmsbip Officialn Exam- ining Puget Soond Points. TACOMA, Wash., July 25.—The plans of the Oriental Steamsh.p Company of Japan took a new turn today when President Asano and his associates announced that they desired, if possible, to form a connec- tion with the C., B. aud Q. railroad and the Northern Pacific to form the connecting link between Tacoma and Billings, Mont., where the Northern Pacific and Burlington roads connect. The steamship people desire to make close connections for Chicago and the far east. They say they appreciate that ihe Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Canadian Pacific roads have traffic con- tracts with the existing Ines. They under- stand that the Burlington has a through traffic agreement with the Northern Pacfne and believe a connection with that road will be especially advantageous, as afford- ing a short route to Omaha and Chicago, and at the same time allow the use of the splendid facilities found at Tacoma for handling oriental freight. Presdent Asano has secured from the Tacoma Land Com- pany an option on water-front. property having deep water facilities, the company intending to build its own warehouses here if 2 connection with the Burlington shall be made. : Capt. Tomaki, who accompanies the party, prefers Tacoma to the southern coast points for the terminus, because of an abundance and cheapness of coal here. — YARDE-BULLER'S CHARACTER Pictured in the Textimony half of His Americun Wife. LONDON, July 25.—In the Yard2-Buller divorcee case counsel for Mrs. Yarde-Buller opened for the defense today. He said that cruelty and adultery on the part of the wife were denied, and that it would be proven by medical evidence that the re- spondent was not a drinking woman. He also alleged that Gadesden, the core- spondent in this action, had been sent to Englard by Mrs. Gen. Kirkham of San Francisco, mother of the respondent, to protec: the wife's interests against the hus- pand. A witness for the defense, Mrs. Gosling, testified that she had committed adultery with the pefitioner, Mr. Yarde-Buller. 'Phis witness’ eVidence was confirmed by that of Mrs. Parker. Policemen swore that they had secn the petitioner in company with prostiiutes. The hearing was adjourned. gee ses Canadien Artillery Tenm in London LONDON, July 25.—The Canadian artil- lery team arrived in London at 1 o'clock this morning and met with cordial welcome from the officers of the artillery associa- tion.

CAUSED BY CHICKENS Sees Mrs, Altechuch Says Hens and Roosters Bained Her Health, They Belongea to’ mrs. Hoffman a Their Noise Was Productive of Nervous Prostration. ‘A long-bearded mon, who looked as if he had been lost or had strayed from the Populist convention, ;,qccupied a seat in Judge Miller's court’ toddy and appeared as if he wanted to applaud the court when he heard of how the judge enjoyed the crowing of roosters and the cackling of hens in the early morning. “But there are others who do not,” said the judge, in rendering his decision, and the result is tHat Mrs. Ann Hoffman's fowls, must go. Mrs. Hoffman has lved on this mundane sphere for four score years and ten, and this morning was the firat time she has ever been in a court of justice. Her neighbor, Mrs. Eliza Altschuch, who the perfect picture of health, complained that Mrs. Hoffman's chickens had _de- stroyed her health to such an extent that she {Was able to sleep only when she took icine. hese chickens caused my sicknei she said, “and I have nervous prostra- tion.” ‘Does your husband also feel annoyed?” “No, sir,” volunteered counsel in the care, “he’s deaf.” Mrs. Altschuch had a physician's certifl- cate to show that her health 18 not so good as one might imagine. She lives at 1218 4th street, three doors from her elderly neighbor, who has chickens. “How meny roosters has Mrs. Hoffman?” “She had three,” answered the prosecut- ing witness, “but cnly has one now.” Mr. Karr, a friend of the Altschuch fam- ily, said he thought the chickens were in- juring the brain of Mrs. Altschuch, as well as having affected the comfort of her home. There were several neighbors in court, who were not only willing, but who were anxious to give evidence to show that Mrs. Hoffman's fowls were not disorderly and disturbed none of them. It was explained to the court that the chickens are a part of Mrs. Hoffman's sup- port. “I realize that the material prosperity of the country {s being enhanced by the lay- ing of fresh eggs,” said the judge, “and #0 far as I am concerned, it 1s pleasant to hear the crowing of roosters early In the morning, us well as the cackling of hens when they are laying eggs. “I pave no rooster no aid Mrs..

The law is plain, and says that no person shail keep fowls to the annoyance of others. ‘The only thing left fer the court to do was to make some provision whereby the annoy- ance might be recovered, and it gave Mrs. Hoffman one week in which to remove the fowls. : ee A RECEIVER ASKED FOR. se, the court spoke tect the health and Stockholders of a Corporation Seek Aid From the Courts, Samuel Pfeiffer and William Mayse today filed a Dill in equity against Wilson G.

The body of Bugene Vogt, the young German who. committed suicide at New Alexandria by taking paris green Thursday last, has been viewed by a number of per- sons since its removal to Demaine’s un- dertaking establishment, in this city, but so far no one has been able to recognize the dead man. It will be remembered that the suit of clothes he wore had but re- cently come from Saks and Company, and his shoes from Lewis, on 7th street, in Washington. Rev. Father J. J. Bowler of St. Mary’s Church, this city, was among those who viewed the body yesterday, and in conversation with a Star reporter, said that he was confident that the dead man had called at his residence Monday solicit- ing aid. The young man stated to Father Bowler that he had recently come from Washington, where he had been employed as walter for the Hotel Emrich. The body will be held at Demaine’s until tomorrow, and unless some friend of the deceased shall claim it, it will be turned over to the Fairfax county authorities for burial. The Mayor's Court.

Tf you can keep on good terms with your- self, surely you can do the same with the rest of the world. This was the tenor of my refiections I took my morning bath in the sea and prepared for my first foray into the tropic forest that stretched, un- known and unexplored, behind the bay where I had pitched my camp. My hut was my own handiwork, bullt trom the waste material lavishly scattered on the strand. ‘The costume I wore was the result of months of experience in hot climates, and perhaps my readers would like to know of what it consisted. First, then, on my head a helmet-shaped hat, brought from India by the coolies of Trini- dad; the favorite headgear of all explorers in hot countries, because it is at the same time light in weight and impervious to the rays of the sun. It is made of the famous Papyrus pith, cream colored outside, and lined with green within for the pr ‘ion of the eyes. My coat was of dun-colorea duck, and hung loosely over trousers of the same ma- terial; both were full of pockets, of course, stuffed with cartridges loaded with differ- ent sizes of shot. My coarse cotton shirt Was open at the throat; over my stout shoes I wore strong canvas leggings, to protect my shins from the rocks and razor- &rasses; and over my shoulder was slung @ willow fish basket, which is better than a bag, being stiff enough to keep its con- tents from being crushed. After I had penetrated a little way into this vast cathedral of trees, of which the great trunks were the pillars, with groined arches supporting a roof of verdure, I came to a lofty palm, different trom the cocoas, with a@ straight stem shooting up to the height of more than a hundred feet.

The adaptability of the telephone in mod- ern warfare was shown in a novel manner 4 few weeks ago during the war which is new in progress in Cuba. A Cuban gen- eral, Pablo Olivia, arrived at the outskirts of the town in which was a large Span- ish garrison; owing to the fact that a number of guns were posted so as to com- mand the only point 2t which the town could be approached, he was rather ad- Verse to marching up and demanding a sur- render until he could find some means of assuring the garrison that for the time being his intentions were pacific. While Olivia and his aids were discussing the situation cne of the members of the revolutionary party reported the discovery of the telephone, which was connected with the exchange inside the town. Olivia immediately repaired to the piace, rang up the Spanish commander, and call. ed upon him to surrender within an hour under the penalty of having the town burn- ed about his ears. At the end of the hour he called up the front gun, and found the garrison ready to surrender, upon which he entered the town, without fear of at- tack. ne Telephone, LOVELY WARRENTON Interesting Gossip From the Popular Vir- ginia Town.
