Thereupan the gun- | boat left Itajahy and went to another port in the State of Rio Grande do Sul The | three Brazillan cruoisers, Almirante Bar rao, Benjamin Constant and Tamandare, were sent to watch the Panther and see that no similar occurrences should again | bappen, while the Brazilian Government | made an official protes: against the action | of those officers to the German Govern- | men Sylvino Curgel do Amarala, First Sccr€~‘ tary of the Braszilian Embassy,. declared | y that the relations between Ger-| ¥ and Brazil have of late been very rdial, and when the present Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron de Rio Branco, left Berlin, where for several years he had represented Brazil, the Emperor made it a special point to show him the great- | t good will.

The American law was upheld to-day in a clash with | German authorities over the posses- sion of louis Brahm, a German boy, charged with desertion. Three minutes before he was to have sailed as a| prisoner on the steamship Amerika for | Germany and twenty-four hours after he had been given up to German anuthority by this Government, Brahm was taken off the ship and back under American authority agaln by a writ of habeas corpus from the United States District Court. Yesterday the German Con- sul, after a strenuous effort, had the ! boy turned over to him as a deserter | from the steamship Pennsylvania Brahm did not desert willingly, his | ship having sailed while he was serv- | ing a sentence in an American Jjail for | disorderly conduct. United States Mar- | shal Mayhew sald that he served the writ of habeas corpus last night, but that thé, German authorities were slow in execufing it and that an’ officer said 10 him “What right has any one to take a man off a German boat?” —_———— FOOTBALL HERO AND EDITOR ARE HONCRED AT UNIVERSITY B.

LONDON, Dec. 9—One of London’s least known, but most curious sights, is the remarkable “Bird Fair” held every Sunday morning in the famous V?'hne— ceapel District. As early as 7 o'clock members of the Hooligan hordes that in- fest this district begin to assemble in Sclater street, not far from the White- chapel road. Each man carries a small square parcel, wrapped about with a black cloth. All the little black parcels contain birds—larks, linnets, blackbirds, canaries and bullfinches. Even sparrows are brought to this strange assembly, but they are more or less disgulsed, many of them being actually painted to rep- resent canaries, linnets and other birds. It is a singular thing to see London Hooligans playing the role of bird fan- clers, and yet, on Sundays, bird life seems to occupy their whole attentlon. Salva- tion Army officers have made repeated ef- forts to break up these assemblies and persuade the bird gamblers, for such they are, to abandon their Sunday morning trade, and even the police have attempted to stop it. But the “Bird Fair” has held its own despite all interference from out- glders. There is no specific act of Parlia- ment against dealing with birds on Sun- day morning in London, and, until such an act is passed, the bird fair is likely to €. co;;l: “pecultlr attraction of the “Bird Fair” to the Hooligan consists in the fact that one may buy a singing bird for about 15 cents and, before the day is out, make anywhere from $2 50 to $10 out of him in varlous contests that take place in-the back rooms of certain saloons in the neighborhood. As the average week— ly wage of most of these men does not amount to more than $3 to $4, the making of $10 on Sunday morning is something worth striving for. The people who engage in the “Bird Fair,” or as it should be called, the “Bird ‘Monte Carlo,” do not seem to look on the reverse side of the plcture to consider what a big hole the loss of a dollar or so makes In a small weekly wage. The fas- cinating fairy tales that float about of how certain * have made as much as $50 for their owrners in the course of a few singing contests lead most of these people Into looking for similar feathered gold mines. Needless to say, however, the bird owner who brings the average songster to the Sunday fair goes home a sadder, if not a wiser man; only to come again the following Sunday with renewed hopes. CONTESTS IN SALOONS, As a matter of fact, this bird gambling is one of the greatest of evils among the working classes of the lower type. Gambling. in some form or other, to- gether with drinking, are the two great evils of England. Much s sald every vear of the terrible sufferings of the un- employed, but it is recognized that if the gambling and drink evil were checked these sufferings in many cases would not exist; or, If they aid, they would not be nearly so acute. During the week days British laborers, rot the men making from $7 per week up- ward, but those earning less than $5, spend @ large portion of their wages in backing (“Ups” from various sporting papers on horse racing, and when Sunday comes, and there is no race, they go in for bird gambling, rabbit coursing, dog and cock fighting and other forms of betting amusements. The system of bird gambling is run on almost as scientific a basis as that of horse racing. Everybody who has a bird that can sing a few notes has a chance of winning something; depending, of course, on the nature of the contest he goes in for. The highest winnings are made with larks and piping bullfinches. If a man has one of these birds that can sing fairly well he takes it to the back room of a saloon, or “‘public house,” as it i3 called in London, and the bird, with others, is placed In its cage on a shelf which, as a rule, extends entirely around the four sides of the room. This shelf will dometimes accommodate as many as a hundred cages. In othe places the cages are hung on one side of the room from the ceiling to the floor. The gambling audience, consisting of owners of birds, seat themselves on benches in front of the cages or stand in rows, while the birds are encouraged by whistles to sing their best. Bach bird owner must deposit with the “publican,” or saloon-keeper, before entering his bird the sum of twelve cents. ~As there are often as many as 100 entries, this means & fund of $12 is put up as the winning stake. k Larks, as a rule, have very long songs, and sometimes the men will sit for ovtm hour in almost dead silence, save for the songs of the birds. Each lark has in its cage a small square plece of grass-grown s0d, to make the poor creature think of the green fields whence it came, and the firg sunwk. end minas doosliRsiing e bird trying outdo its nel r( | bird singing the longest time and showing the greatest range. of notes wins the “pot.” Not infrequently, at the end of two or three hours, only two or three birds el singing, the rest having :’cm. o:% or silenced by the more rilliant work their The excitement which around the two or three remaining contestants is often very intense; and occasionally fights grow out of the remarks of praise or disapprobation which rise to the lips of spectators. The saloon-keeper, at thé end of the contest, hands over the win- nings of the lucky owner of the bird ad- judged to be the best singer. The win- ner is supposed to spend a goed deal of his money on beer for the crowd, and thus do the ‘“publicans” obtain their share, often a large one, of the winnings. Other contests, with linnets, blackbirds, bullfinches and canaries, are conducted on similar lines, though usually the entry fees are smaller—from 2 cents up to 8§ cents for other birds than larks. Naturally a large traffic in selling birds is done In the streets near!the places where contests are held. ‘These birds are placed in cages and hung on the walls of the shops outside as high as the first- story windows. The larks and linnets are placed on the upper rows (otherwise they refuse to sing), the canaries and others below. There are also mahy street ven- dors who sell singing birds, each one sup- posed to be a winner. You hear on every hand erfes such as: for a pot o' beer—'00 says a lark for four punce?” Larks can be bought anywhere from 8§ cents up; but whether they will sing or not remains to be seen. real canarles prove, when their bright sparrows; and sometimes ‘Teal prize- winning singers” are concealed beneath the cages of birds that could not sing a of birds is done very cleverly, often so | as to decelve e¥en the elect: but woe be- tide the seller if he is caught by th | frate purchager. fuse to interfere in these’cases, and the Hooligans resort to a back alley and pound each other's faces. Altogether, the bird gambling contests that take place on Sunday mornings in London are among the oddest sights to be seen in the British capital. The so- called “Falr’ lasts until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sa- loons are comnpelled to close until six. ‘After six the public hou: are crowded with bird gamblers, spending their win- DEATH COMES TO A FARMER Heart Disease Caunses Demise of Plo- neer Resident of the Santa .
