From Our Animal Friends, Birds driven before the wind are tossed about relentlessly, and they rarely recover their balance after once being caught by the gale. Shore birds are either dashed upon the waves and made to swim for their lives, or they are hurled violently against trees or other objects and killed. Shore birds, wheg facing a gale, will take every advantage of trees, houses ind hills as de- fenses against the wind. They will close Theit watg> aud sink so close to the ground as to get the protecting shelter of a hedge fence, and then swoop up again with re- newed headway. They frequently advance before the gale by @ series of side evo ons, fying at right angles to the wind un- til they have attained considerable velocity and then, wheeling about straight against the wind—and making some headway be- fore it overcomes them. This operation is repeaced continually until the desired place is reached. During our fall and early winter gales Partridges and quail are quite frequently blown out to sea by a stroag hurricane, where some of them have been picked up by fishermen. In nearly all such instances they are caught by the gale when high in the air, and before they can recover them- selves they are hurried out beyond the shore and dropped into the water. With their plumage soaked with the spray, they instantly become helpless, and cannot rea:ie the shore in the face of the wind. On our Inland lakes and rivers this is a more com- mon sight than along the ocean shore. When once blown out to sea the shore birds have little chance of escape. Unable to battle against the heavy wind, they yield themselves to their fate and drift about until the storm subsides. By that time they are likely to be so far from shore that they cannot reach it again, and they either fly or swim until they starve to death or Gie of exhaustion. Their dead bodies, along with those of the hapless gulls, terns and herons, are nally drifted upon some shore where the waves leave them high and dry. After every heavy storm hundreds of such luckless victims can found on the beaches of our Atlantic coast. aes THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP.

Prominent Men Have Been Invited to Participate in the Ceremonies Next Tuesday. Special Correspondence of The Even‘ng Star. WILMINGTON, Del., November 18, 1897. Arrangements are being completed by a special committee of the board of trade of this city for the presentation of a gift to the gunboat Wilmington, named in honor of this city of Wilmington, Del. ‘The pre- sentation, according to present arrange- ments, will take place on Tuesday, Novem- ber 23. The day will be celebrated here as a “gala day"—for such an occasion as the arrangements contemplated has never been celebrated here in Wilmington. The pro- gram for the occasion includes a public meeting in the Grand Opera House, at which it is the present intention to rresent the gift—a monster parade of state militia, Delaware College Cadets, political organi- zations and marines connected with the gunboat ‘gnd a reception aboard the boat after the presentation. The Secretary of the Navy has already issued instructions to have the gunboat sent to this city, and she is expected here by Monday. The gift to be presented to the Wil- mington is a “wassail bowl!” of silver. It is mounted on an ebony base; on one side is the seal of the city of Wilmington and on the other the gunboat Wilmington. Blue hgns, blue hens’ chickens, peaches and ich blossoms, the emblem of the are among the decorations on the The ladle will be decorated by blue chickens. The bowl will have a capacity of four gallons. School children will also give the boat a handsome Bible. A lerge number of distinguished per- sons have been invited to be present “ut the presentation ceremonies, including Sec- retary Long of the ravy and Assistant Sec- retary Rcosevelt. Former Ambassador Thomas F. Bayard will make the presenta- tion address, and United States Senator Gray and Mayor McLear will also speak. SS If you want enything, try an ad. in The Star.

But quiet as Japan has become on this question of Hawaii there is a smoldering dislike to the Americanizing of the isiands which is reedy to burst forth into a fla‘re at any moment. It is a well known fact that Ito went to Spain to attempt a coali- tion between the Spanish and the Japanese against the United States. The plan fell through, but there is no telling when ft might not be revived. If Marquis Ito takes his place in the cabinet it will be with words of softness on his lips to the United States, but with a strong dislike on his heart, for Japan has neen out-generaled in this matter of the annexation of the Haz walian Islands by United States and the Japanese statesmen f2zi the position acutely. As long as the United States maintains the hold on the i: nas, well and gocd. But let the hopes of the antfannexationists be realized and the Unite@ States be per- suaded to withdraw, and where will the islands be then? Japaa will not lose the golden opportunity. We should ‘e snapped as neatly as a salmon snaps a fly, and the process of digestion would assimilate the native race so effectually that it would cease to exist. Japan is baffied now, and Hawaii has proved a diplomatic Quatrebras or Charleroi, but it is by no means yet a Waterloo. The shadow of the east lies on Hawaii's threshold. —____- + +e ____ Russin’s Gold. From the Boston Herald. When Russia has coined its two hundred million gold rubles it will virtually take rank as a country with a gold currency. It will attain that position by having in a measure driven the provider of its ex- cessive gold holdings near the verge of silver monometalism. Nebody knows just bow much American gold is stored in the vaults of the Bank of St. Petersburg, but the amount is not small.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 19.— Nothing but foot ball is talked of here to- day. In preparation for the great matcn which is to be played on Yale field tomor- row, between the Princeton Tigers and thc scns of Elf the windows of stores and pub- lic buildings generally are being elaborate- ly dressed in blue and orange and black. The streets are filled’ with strangers, and everywhere there is the keenest interest. The demand for tickets has developed irto a fight between would-be purchasers and the speculators. The most exorbitant Prices are asked, and, in many cases, paid. The prevailing figures are $15 for $2 seats and $5 and $10 for $1.50 seats. It is be- lieved at least 5,000 persons will be turned away. It has been discovered that quite a number of counterfeit tickets have reached the city, and trouble is anticipated at the field tomorrow. Yale's pleyers were abroad bright and Hee and in good condition. At the hotels there are several Princeton parties. Little betting has been done among the students, but Yale men are awaiting the arrival of the main Princeton contingent, when the odds of 2 to 1, alleged to be had from Princeton backers, will be readily taken. Dagid A. Twitchell, president of the Yale Foot Ball Association, has issued an offi- cial statement, which says: 9 The gates at the field will be opened ai 12 o'clock noon, the game will be called sharply at 2 p.m., and no simple admission ticket, providing for standing room, wil! be sold. Every spectator must occupy « reserved seat.” ee The Hawalian Loan. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean, There is a great deal of ferce in Poor Richard's maxim: “Now that I’ve got a cow and a horse, everybody calls me mis- ter.” When a young republic, the reason of the existence of which has been ques- tioned by some and denied by others, is- sues its bonds to its own citizens, and is able to sell them at a premium, its solidity becomes apparent. Nothing had such a Preventive effect upen the European states- men who were inclined to give active aid to the enemies of the Union as the avidity with which the plain, common people took up the sovernment bonds. The last issue of Hawaiian bonds has been placed among the people of Hawaii. Th loan negotiated is small, it is true; but the population is small, and far from rich. Confidence in the stability of govern- ment is indicated quite as strongly, per- haps more strongly, by numerous invest- ments of $100 by farmers and wage-earners than by the purchase of blocks of stock worth $100,000 by millionaires. The rate of interest offered by the govern- ment of the United States during the war time ran as high as 7 per cent, and the bonds were taken at somewhat of a dis- count by the bankers and brokers who dealt them out to the people. But the Hawaiian republic has sold its 5 per cent bonds at premiums ranging between 3 and 5 per ceut to first purchasers. Money is cheaper now than in the war time, but, all things being considered, the Hawaiian government has achieved a notable suc- cess in finance. Profitable Apples, From the Richmond })ispatch. We referred the other day to the increas- ing interest in fruit culture in Virginia. It is a subject that should receive the earnest attention of the Virginia farmer, for our statement that a good apple orchard in some sections of the state is almost as val- uable as a Florida orange grove was not exaggerated. In verification of this, we see it stated that Dr. Emmett D. Boaz of Albemarle county, recently shipped fifty-one barrels of pippins to London, which were sold at public auction for $517.65, an average of $10.15 per barrel. These apples were not picked and wrapped in tissue paper, but were taken as they came from the trees and shipped in ordinary barrels. Is This Anything Like Sport? From the Philadelphia Ledger. They have some queer ideas of sport in Europe, as witness the exultant proclama- tion that in a recent battue the emperor shot 1,224 pheasants at the rate of five per minute. Persons unfamiliar with the way such things are conducted might suppose that he used a Gatling gun, but the fact is, that not only in Germany, but in England and other countries, pheasants are bred in flocks and fed until they become as tame as chickens. An American sportsman would scarcely be proud of a destructive raid on somebody’s barnyard, and certain- ly would not care to have the fact cabled around the world. It did not even have the merit of marksmanship that attaches to a pigeon shooting match. —————+eo—___ It matters little what it Is that whether a situation panes PLATT’S STATEMENT Ita Effect Upon the Republican Fao- tions in. New-York, HARMONY IS EXPECTED 0 RESULT Both Sides to Yield Something to Accomplish. It. .; 7 ro QUIGG TO BE ‘RETAINED Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NBW YORK, November 18, 1897. Senator Thomas C. Platt’s statement, in which he bitterly scored Seth Low, caused republicans of both factions to squirm. This was the first effect. Now, it is not taken so seriously, or if it. is, republicans are disposed to read between the lines and see there an effort to pull the Citizens’ Union repub:icans away from Low and bring them back into the straight republican fold. The Citizens’ Union people say that Platt’s statement has made it obvious that he would not have made Low the nominee un- der any circumstances, and that the refusal of the Citizens’ Union to attend the con- ference was the mere pretext and not the real reason for Platt’s course of action. Platt’s machinations alone, they say, are responsible for the schism. The movement of the Citizens’ Union was 4 movemen: in- censistent with its making an alliance with any one of the national party organizations. Its movement was nol, strictly speaking, an anti-Tammany movement. Its hope was to draw from all the natio.al party organi- zations, including Tammany itself, enough pubiic-spirited citizens to elect a n.ayor who would be entirely free in the conduct of his office from obligativas to any cne of the national party organizations. Now that the municipal eleccioa is over, in spite of the jarring effect -Platt’s state- ment has had momentarily, it is believed that the Citizens’ Union republicans wiil harmonize upon the state and national is- sue. ‘The only commendation cf Piatt's course comes from Tammany Hall. Mr. Croker expressed himself in approval of the republican “‘boss’”” attituile, but Elliot F. Danforth, chairman of the democratic state committee, ‘comments upon the statement in this way: “Mr. Platt takes it for granted that Bryanism is going to have full sweep in the democratic ranks in the next cam- paign, and that the republicans will be united and impregnable. I ayn convinced he is sadly mistaken. The republicans are badly split now, and I believe that they will be more so by the time -he next fight com on. A defeat does a pai and the democrats hav: They will be united in ihe next ard they will win. The vote for Judge Parker and Van Wyck in the late election shows how the tide is running.” Harmony Among Republicans. In spite of Danforth’s expressed belief, the signs all point to a healing of the re- publican breach and the presenting of a solid alignment of that party to-combat tie democrats in the state. With the republi- can ward meetings, just held in the borough of Brocklyn, there was jalk of discipling the party members who refused ,to vote for the regular party ticket,on election cay. Some of the more radical and warra-blood ed republicans advocated drastic measures of retaliation against the men who support- ed the Citizens’ Union ticket, even going as far as to counsel the expulsian from the ward associations. But in nearly every in- stance cooler judgment prevailed and no steps were taken calculajed tg widen the breach. The keynote wag struck by Wil- lism A. Prendergast at ;the Jast. general committee meeting when_he introduced a resolution calling for party harmony abcve all else. .He sat beside Lieytenant Governor Woodruff at the time, and it Was through Mr. Prendergast that Mz, Woodruff found the means of expressing "His ‘ideas before that representative’ repdbHean Mody. It is declared that the lieutenant: governor is quite as anxious to harmoaize,the warring elements now, as he was <ben, and that all the influence which he can exert will be so directed. It is so with a inajority of the other party leaders in Brooklyn ‘There is another element which has had much to do with suppressing any retalia~ tion or disciplinary process on the part of the regular party leaders. One of them put it in this way: “I had a local leader frem one of the wards come down to me for advice,” said he. “He wanted to know what I though of expelling the Low men from his district organization. ‘How many votes did Tracy get in your district?” I asked. ‘Ninety,’ he replied. ‘How many were cast there for Lo was my next question. ‘Low polled 150,’ Was his answer. ‘Do you think it advisable to try expul- sion in the face of such figures? was all 1 said, and he tumbled.” e The long and short of the matter is that in mary of the districts throughout the city the leaders find that to éxpel the Low men would mean to cut dowh their organi- zation force more than one-half. In short, that the Low men, if they: so desired, might turn about and expel the regular party followers. Accordingly, a careful survey of the situation, and in the pres- «nce of a common political enemy in con- trol of every branch of the new municipal machinery, there is a general sentiment on all hands fayorable to harmony. Quigg to Be Retained., Much has been said about Platt’s dis- satisfaction with the conduct of the cam- paign of Lemuel E. Quigg. It may now be said that it is Mr. Platt’s desire that Mr. Quigg shall retain his place at the head of the county committee. To force Mr. Quigg out or to permit him to relinquish his lead- ership under pressure, the republican man- agers think, would be tantamount to cen- sure of Mr. Quigg’s and Mr. Platt’s course during the last campaign, as they acted together on all matters pertaining to the management of General Tra¢y’s campaign. The logical thing for the committee to do, in Mr. Platt’s opinion, is to sustain Mr. Quigg. If the local leaders do not “stand by” Mr. Quigg, it is argued on the same basis of reasoning, their ‘action will be construed to mean that the organization was wrong in the position it took to main- tain party supremacy. For the same rea- son, it is held, there can be no “wide cpen” reorganization, which means that the doors of the republican organization shall not be opened, so that all who ap- peared in it at the last election and in fcrmer campaigns can enter and receive recognition as full-fledged. republicans. Such a concession to the so-called recalci- trants would be equal to an admission, the strict constructionists declare, that the re- pe organization was wrong in up- olding party principles, and that its op- ponents were right in opposing 'them.» The crganization leaders want Mr.‘Quigg for president, and are not disposed to yield one jot in the attitude they have 4aken. The independent republicans jinsist..on a re- organization of the party 'on a basis satis- fectory to all classes of! rep#blicans, or they will continue to fight their party on the lines they took at*the last election. ‘The opposition to Mr. Quigg ¢omes from the local leaders, who ‘are dissatisfied with his personal treatment of-them; but if the leaders of the patty i the state make a personal appeal. to them they may set aside their persoi prejudices for “party reasons.” The cipal objection of the leaders to Mr. Quig# i# that he over- estimates his personality and treats them as inferiors.

The present pastorate is his fourth. His first charge was at Selin’s Grove, Pa.; his second at St. Matthew's, Philadelphia. and the third at Trinity Church, Shamokin. Dr. Domer was born near Altoona, Pa., in 1826. In 1849 he entered Wittenberg College and graduated in 1858, after which he entered the seminary at Gettysburg for the study of theology. Leaving the sem- inary, he entered upon his first charge, where he remained fourteen years. During this time he was associated with Drs. Kurtz and Ziegler in founding the Missionary Institute and the Susquehanna Female College, and in connection with this pastorate had charge of the last named college four ars. He has been favored with many c: to churches in Philadel- phia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, New York state and other places, none of which was accepted. In 1876 he received the degree of D. D. from Roanoke College, Va. Progress of Hix Charge. To Dr. Domer belongs the credit of build- ing up the congregation of St. Paul's to its present size and influence. When he took charge the congregation was greatly de- pleted, in consequence of the transfer of so many members to the Memorial, of which Rev. Dr. G. Butler is pastor. There were only about eighty left, and the Sun- day school contained but sixty pupils. At the first communion there but one con- firmation. The present enroliment of the church is more than four hundred mem- bers, and of the Sunday school over five hundred. St. Baul’s Church has been enlarged and remodeled several times during Dr. Domer’s pastorate, the last and most costly improvement being made in 1888, at a cost of $8,954.48, which practically made it a new churc! From St. Paul's, the mother church of English Lutheranism in this city, there have been organfzed Memorial, Church of the Reformation, and St. Mark's; and also, through these three, Zion, Church of Our Redeemer and Keller Memorial. Lutheran Anniversary. One of the most notable events in the history of Dr. Domer’s pastorate here was the great celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of Lutheranism. Dr. Domer delivered a number of Sunday evening lec- tures on various phases of the reformation, which were received with much favor, and concluded with a great platform meeting, at which the then commissioner of educa- tion, Gen. Eaton, presided and made the opening address, after which Pere Hya- cinth delivered an address in the French language, followed by Mr. Simon Wolf of this city, Rev. Dr. David Wilson, chaplain in the United States army; Mr. B. H. Warner, and the pastor, and closing with the singing of Luther's great battle hymn, “A Mighty Fortress is Our God.” ‘This was regarded as one of the most remark- able and interesting anniversaries ever held in Washington.

Penn and Clement, who, with the consent of the War Department, successively com- manded the battalion of the “Omaha High School Cadets,” is steadily increasing. The battalion is now organized with four uni- formed companies, a drum corps, and one ununiformed company, with the regulation number of officers and non-commissioned officers. The average attendance at all drills was 248. The uniforms, costing only, complete, $12.65, proved very satisfactory, as shown by the fact that over 200 were voluntarily purchased. The system of in- struction embraced simply setting up ex- ercises, squad and company drills, with oc- casional lectures and parades. As but two hours per week were devoted to drills, the military exercises did not interfere with the course of studies, proving, in fact, a healthy and highly beneficial variation. “High schools embrace an element of our population that makes our greatest mili- tary strength that is not extensively reach- ed through the class of educational insti- tutions to which officers are assigned as professors of military science and tactics. With a view, however, to the dissemination of some of the elements of military instruc- tions to our youths at the most receptive condition of mind, high schools are logical objectives, but it appears that a capable sergeant could in general perform these duties without calling upon officers for them.” ++ —________ WILL GO TO ALASKA.
