Many reasons for the disappearance

that seems to be the most plausible
to me is that during the time when
these birds were everywhere, there
was a horde of predatory birds and
animals living upon them, following
them up and doj^n in their passage
through the country. For some rea

CITY DF_CONGRETE
Kingston, Capital of Jamaica, Is
Completely Restored.
Buildings Are as Nearly Fireproof as
It Is Possible to Make Them—
New City Is Immense
Improvement.
Kingston, Jamaica.—Kingston, the
city which was wrecked by earth
quake and ruined more completely by
fire in January, 1907, again takes its
place as the largest city In the West
Indies outside of Havana. The work
of restoration is almost complete, and
although a few vacant sites remair
unocupied the principal shopping cen
ters and the residential area have all
been built up. The new Kingston is
an immense improvement upon that
which went to pieces In the catas
trophe, and there are still works of
public improvement to be underta
ken.
Almost without exception the new
store buildings are of reinforced con
crete and are as nearly fireproof as lo
cal conditions have made it possible.
The principal streets are adorned by
colonnades, seme of a very imposing
; character. In King street all the pub
lic offices have been brought together
in one block; and another simiiai
block is about to be erected. The
architect of these blocks of buildings
is Sir Charles Nicholson, who cam"
specially from England to Jamaica to
study the site and prepare the plans.
The first block has cost ${00,000.
There is a sense of public disappoint
ment at Its appearance. For one thing,
it is not regarded as being as attrac
tive as a building of its kind ought to
be. The government authorities, how
ever, profess themselves to be quite
satisfied with the results and proposet
to have the second block built along
identical lines.
Public gardens and open spaces
adorn the principal section of the city,
the sites of these having been acquired
by the government at considerable
cost, much against the wish of the
taxpayers. The results have, however, ;
more than justified the expenditure,
and Kingston is today more of a tropi
cal town than it has ever been before
within modern times.
The government buildings and tht
splendid structures of the Bank o!
Nova Scotia have served to alter en
tirely the appearance of King street
from the sea northward. The harbor
front has been completely restored
and there is now talk of a sea wall or
esplanade being constructed, not only
to facilitate shipping, but to serve as
a driveway or promenade. Plans are
also under consideration for the con
struction of a new park to cover about
forty-five acres of land.
Copenhagen’s Deer Park.
Copenhagen, Denmark, has the lar
gest park of any city in the world. Its
area is about 4,200 acres.
GUINEA HENS ARE ANNOYING
Neighbors Simply Will Not Endure
Longer Screeching of Fowls—
Vary Tune Nightly.
South Norwalk. Conn.—Two hun
dred calliope lunged guinea hens
owned by Miss Sarah L. Davenport of
Wilton are now giving nocturnal con
certs to the great annoyance of Miss
1 Davenport's neighbors, whose protests
iast spring forced her to get rid of 300
dogs.
Affairs have come to a pass now
where Miss Davenport's neighbors will
extend the freedom of the city to the
dogs if she will only consent to chase
| the guinea hens.
In desperation, residents of Wilton,
a short distance from here, have asked
11. D. Ogden of New York to dig up
a law which will force Miss Davenport
to gag her pets between sunrise and
sunset. It was Mr. Ogden who pro
cured the court order prescribing capi
tal punishment for every one of Miss
Davenport's dogs, but when constables
went to execute the order the animals
had been shipped beyond the danger
zone.
Soon afterward Miss Davenport es
tablished a vocal conservatory for ambi
tious guinea hens and at the present
■ lime she has 200 promising perform
ers. mostly sopranos, under her care.
They change the opera every night
and on Sunday night give an extra
performance.
An old law has been resurrected
which makes it a misdemeanor to har
bor any beast or bird that cries,
whines, cackles or barks during sleep
ing hours, and the chances are that
the guinea hens will be asked to show
cause- in a few days.
Miss Davenport is one^the most in
teresting women in this part of the
state. Of a distinguished family, pos
sessed of great wealth, she tired of
travel and settled on a large farm in
Wilton about twelve years ago. She
took a fancy to dogs, and soon had a
fine kennel, which included Prince
Leo, valued at $10,000.
To Free Game Birds.
Portland. Ore.—Hungarian part
ridges will be introduced into eastern
Oregon and Washington this fall
Sixty pairs of the birds will be or
dered from the east. They are ex
pected to arrive in about two weeks,
and will be liberated in the hills near
Dayton, Wash.
It is believed that these birds will
do well in the grain-growing districts,
where they will be introduced. They'
are prolific, beautifully colored, hardy
and gamy. The birds will be pro
tected until 1913, when it is though';
they will have become sufficiently
plentiful in the grain fields to allow
of their being hunted.
I
Deer in Colorado.
Borthoud, Colo.—Under the strin
gent game laws and the short open
season, deer are growing more plenti
ful each year and this year the hunt
ers have in nearly all cases obtained
venison.
Deer meat was eaten in many Der
thoud homes last week, despite th«
fact that the weather has been un
favorable.
In two instances recently deer wer«
sighted within two hours’ drive fron
the city, several parties going out it
automobiles and obtaining shots.

RAILROAD HEAD RESIGNS
Marvin Hughitt, who has been president of
the Chicago and Northwestern Railway company
for nearly 24 years, has given up that position to
accept the chairmanship of the board of direc
tors. Mr. Hughitt. who is in his seventy-third
year, is in many ways one of the most remark
able men in the railway service. There probably
is no man in the railroad world today who is
more widely known and yet about whom so little
is known in detail as Mr. Hughitt. This is the
result of a lifelong policy of doing things rather
than of talking.
He was bcru in Genoa. Cayuga county, N. Y.. .
in 1837, and began his career as a telegraph oper
ator at Albany for the New York and Buffalo
Telegraph company in 1852. In 1854 he located
in Chicago aud w orked as an operator for the Illi
cols and Missouri Telegraph company. Mr. Hughitt entered the railway serv
ice in 1856, and until 1862 he was consecutively superintendent of telegraph
and train master of the St. Louis. Alton and Chicago at Bloomington. From
1862 to 1864 he was superintendent of the southern division of the Illinois
Central.
It was during the latter period that Mr. Hughitt performed an operating
feat that has never been surpassed. The government suddenly called upon
the road to move a large detachment of troops at a time when the road
*as flooded with traffic. The force became somewhat demoralized at the
magnitude of ihe problem, whereupon Mr. Hughitt took his place at the dis
patchers key and performed the task without interruption to traffic, at the
expense of 72 hours of continuous service. When he awakened two days
later he found that he had been promoted to the position of general superin
tendent of the road.
In 18.0 Mr. Hughitt left the service of the Illinois Central to become gen
eral manager of the St. Paul road, and a year later George M. Pullman
induced him to become the manager of the Pullmaa company. Mr. Hughitt
in 1872 accepted the position of general superintendent of the Northwestern
■■ai'.road, after which his rise to the presidency was rapid and was marked
b>' the constantly increasing Importance of the system in the western rail
road world.
One of the most remarkable things about the chairman of the North
western’s board is the fact that at the age of seventy-three he is able to do
md does a more strenuous day’s work than most railway presidents who are
15 years younger. The fact that he came from sturdy stock, there being
five living generations in the Hnghitt family, with the fact also that he
took the most perfect care of himself, accounts for his remarkable activity, j
FRENCH REPUBLIC’S MASTER |
The great railroad strike in France brought
more than ever to the notice of the world a re
markable man. On the reassembling of the cham
ber of deputies Premier Briand created some
thing of a sensation by declaring that he ha.l
proof, through confessions of the leaders of the
recent railroad strike, that there was a deliberate
plot to ruin France by violence, anarchy and civil
war.
Briand. now prime minister and master of the
French republic, was nobody ten years ago. At
thirty-five he was an outsider, and, worse, seem
ingly a failure even as a lawyer. Suddenly he
willed, and all came easy to him. Easy is the.
word that seems to characterize him now and
then.
Only genius could have led the ease-loving,
hail-fellow. cafe charmer—half newspaper man. half lawyer without cases—
in ten years to dizzy power as the great man of France. The public is still
astounded. He remains a bundle of contradictions. As cabinet minister,
successively, of public instruction, beaux arts, cultes. justice and interior,
he appeared a laborious specialist of each.
Bern ia the dull Breton port of St. Nazaire. he conquered a degree of
law. \\ ould he have been content to plead party wall cases, marry an;
$8,000 dot. play the violin, sing admirably, beat them all at billiards and talk
politics? He was not of the ruling set of St. Nazaire. Possibly resentful,
possible great-hearted, he certainly felt for the workingmen, who at once
understood him and swore by him.
Buying a second-hand press in Paris, he took it from the freight office
alone with a horse and wagon, and with one boy put it together, set the type
and launched the Democracy of the West. Briand excited great animosity
of the ruling classes, and so. for one reason or another, he got himself dis
barred as a lawyer.
He quit St. Nazaire. his career apparently broken at the start, and began
to write. Paris socialists were edified by the young stranger’s grasp of their
subjects. His articles in the Lanterne became at once noled for their clear
ness anil boldness. They expressed the discontented workingman to him
self—as if it were the workingman who wrote them.
He walked into the sovereign office of French deputy, first in 1902. again
in 1906. and now, as simply, he has walked into the cabinet—and put himself
at its head. No one realizes how he does it. All happens tranquilly without
fireworks. He steps through cruel difficulties without effort.
MISTRESS OF BIG MANSION
After nine years the most costly house in
America has been finally completed, and presid
ing over it will be a petite young lady who has
won her way to this queenly position through
a courtship w*hich once threatened to upset a sec
tion of Washington politics. The house is that
of Senator W. A. Clark of Montana and New
York, and is situated at the corner of Fifth ave
nue and Seventy-seventh street. Manhattan.
The house, when viewed from the exterior,
appears rather heavy and massive for the space
occupied, but. once within, one appreciates the
real harmony of it all. Each of the nine stories
is massed w ith every conceivable adjunct of com
fort and luxury; from top to bottom is a store or
storied wealth and mechanical device unsur
passed in the modern construction cf house hniM
Ing. The bare structure alone cost J.>,000.000.
And the copper king has reared this palace for one who not so many
years ago was the daughter of a poor physician In Montana. At that time
her name was Anna La Chappelle. and her father, dying penniless com
mended her to the care of Senator Clark, urging his interest in her musical <
talent.
The senator sent his ward to the Boston Conservatory of music where
her progress was so marked as to cause him to send her to Paris to'perfect
her studies. It was during this period, says Human Life, that the senator
began to realize that his affection for his ward was of more than the fatherlv
order. While society was busy linking bis name with that of nearly every
eligible young lady, he became assured his ward's feelings were the same a<=
his own, and asked her to become his wife.
