a gray eagle, secluded In a fallen tree

a noise, and, before 'he could ascertain
what it was, the old eagle had struck
him In the face with bill and claws,
nnd taking a circuit through the air,
alighted on a tree 20 Oyards distant but
In plain view of tho nest.
Again the bird made an attack up
on Nixon, aiming at his head, but ho
avoided her, and she struck him on the
arm, making n slight wound. She re
turned to her post of observation, but
as soonasheat tempted to touch tho
nest. She made a third attack, when
Nixon struck her with a stick and
brought her to the ground, where, after
a severe struggle he succeeded In kill
ing her. She measured seven feet two
inches from tip to tip of her wings.
The male bird was not seen.

PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS.
Alfred Wooler Quotes nn Acknowl
edged Authority on tho Subject
Editor Tribune:
Sir: With your permission I desire
to quoto the assertions of Edward
Baxter Perry on methods of teaching.
Mr. Perry's authority Is acknowledged
by all musicians "If one Is studying
to become a concert performer or pri
vate teacher, and wishes to accomplish
as much as possible In some particular
specialty in a short time, private In
struction with some celebrated teacher
Is far more to bis advantage than en
tering any conservator!'. He has also
more chance of having his own In
dividuality recognized nnd of receiv
ing special points udapted to his pa
tlcular needs and desires, Instead of
being treated like one of a thousand
machine-made students. It should ul
so bo noted that ninety per cent, of
our succesful concert artists were
private pupils of some great teacher
and not graduates of any conserva
tory." Yours truly,
Alfred Wooler.
Teacher of music, private and class
Instruction, Guernsey building.
Tho Trouble in South Africa.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; As great prominence Is being
given In the public press of this country
to tho international troubles in South
Africa, which havo reached such nn
acuto and ominous point, kindly permit
.me to respectfully advise your readers
to exercise a llttlo Judicious discrimina
tion while reading tho reports of thoso
troubles.
It must appear to every careful reader
of tho dally press that much of the Infor
mation laid beforo the public Is the crea
tion of tho Imagination and not a record
of real facts. Much of tho news wo get,
both as to tho cause of the threatened
hostilities, and the movements of tho
troops of tho two nations now at vari
ance, Is most misleading and calculated to
creato and foster very dangerous pre
judices. Statements of a very alarming
nature are made one day, only to bo con
tradicted th'e next. There Is a certnln
section of tho press, both In this country
nnd In Great Britain, which seems to de
light In war, and they contrlbuto much
to bring about such a direful state of
things by firing tho passions of persons
of depraved tastes and tendencies, Don't
misunderstand me, I rejolco to know this
is not characteristic of tho press general
ly. There are many honorable exceptions
who constantly wield a mighty inlluenco
in behalf of International pence, mutual
forbearance and the common good of the
human race.
But, nla3, there nro some papers that
do much to Influence passion and let
slip tho bloodhounds of war. With be
coming deference, and In tho interest of
truth I would strongly ndvlso persons who
are guided solely by what appears In tho
press not to Jump at hasty conclusions
and sacrifice what Is right and true to
tho flames of passion and prejudice which
are In constant danger of being fanned
by the effusions of morbid Imaginations.
I still hope and believe that there will
be no war unless the Boers rashly, and
Injudiciously,, under tho great excitement
of the present martial tumult, commence
hostilities. Should It happen that after
all diplomatic resources havo been ex
hausted It be deemed necessary to draw
tho sword I am fully persuaded that tho
Imperial parliament will In their com
munication to the great powers give sat
isfactory reasons for so doing. Those
who nro living so fnr away from South
Africa and are dependent ror their fnfor
matlon upon tho conflicting statements
which appear In tho press havo but a very
faint Idea of the real state of things In
that distant part of the world. It wns my
pleasure lo live out In that country for
more than ten years and during that tlmo
I saw and heard moro than ever I could
see In the press. I still hope and pray
that military hostilities might be averted,
Very respectfully yours,
James Hughes.
