In nature's fine balance ol living agencies the birds lound their largeKt utility In keeping the Insect pests of mankind ! subjection. Not nil birds eat In sects, but most do Cithers destroy rodents, and many eat the seeds ol weeds. It was a tine scheme of econ omy nature bad. Man In his cruel blindness has upset the balance.

The rapid transmission of news among Kaffirs and Hottentots Is a mystery which even Mr. Rider Hag gard Is unable to solv. Mr. Haggard was at Pretoria In 1179, at the time of the battle of Isandhlwana.

The llrltlsh official pointed out that It was Impossible for the news to be true, as Isandblwana waa 192 miles from Pretorltt. and no telegraphic or railway communication existed between the two places. On the following day official confirmation of tbe disaster was brought by mount ed messengers, who were dispatched Immediately after the battle and trav eled at top speed all the way. Yet tbe natives won by twenty hours, and the washerwoman's story was true In every detail. Tbe assertion that cats are necessary In bakeries Is supported by wide ob servation and by the judgment of high practical and scientific authorities In all parts of the world. Hats are pests, and no bettei antidote for them thus cats bas ever teen found.

It Is Captious criticism that would object to bakers keeping cats. Or.

SCENE OF CARNAGE. Twelve Thousand Soldiers Engage In the Slaughter. Nanking, China. Historic Nanking Is the shambles of the Manchu butch er. The sun set upon a scene of fire, rapine, desolation and butchery unre corded In modern history. Twelve thousand Manchu and Im perial old-style soldiers hold Purple Hill, where they are entrenched, -while from beneath their stronghold they are driving before them hordes of Chinese out of the city. Innocent Chinese, leaving every thing behind them, are fleeing, terror stricken and destitute, to the shelter In the fields at the rear of the reform forces. The lutter, numbering be tween 20,000 and 30,000, arc Impotent to check the slaughter or avenge the slain, because of their lack of am munition.

Peking. The residents of the For bidden City are taking In great quan-, titles of rice and other stores. Fif teen hundred Infantry and &00 cavalry of the Manchu First Division, who fled from Shi Kla-Chuang after the as sassination of General Wu Lu Cheng, arrived here and entered the city. The legations consider that all hope for the Manchu dynasty has vanished. All consular reports received at the Imperial capital agree that the revo lutionary spirit has got beyond con trol throughout the empire with the exception of Manchuria. The foreign legations have arranged ample protec tion for foreigners. The officials of the British legation are preparing to exercise their right of guarding the railroad from Peking to Tien-Tsln. The temper of the Manchu troops remains the most serious considera tion. The Chinese greatly fear that they may precipitate a conflict. Al lowing for receut desertions, It Is estimated that there are 22.S00 1 Manchu troops. Prince Chlng, the acting premier, stated that the Manchus did not In tend, If besieged, to defend Peking. Chinese officials believe that while the Manchus Intend fully to guard against surprise Inside the city, should the revolutionaries make a serious demon stration outside the walls, the court would begin negotiations, giving up, If necessary, all hut their lives and ac cepting such provision for the future as may be offered. The city of Foochow is In the hands of the revolutionists. After taking it they wiped out the entire Manchu dis trict. The foreign settlements have not been disturbed, but fires have broken out In Beveral sections of the native city, threatening Its destruc tion. Foochow is one of the moBt Im portant cities of the south, having a population of 700,000. It is the seat of a naval arsenal, government ship yards, a mint, a school of navigation and a large dry dock. The situation In Amoy is quiet, but a serious state of affairs is threaten ed, ow ing to the scarcity of provisions.

The Washington Politicians Get Much Consolation. Washington. Politicians In Wash ington after closely analyzing the re sults of Tuesday's election, generally concede that It somewhat complicated the presidential outlook, with about equal advantages for Republicans nnd Democrats. Their views are about as badly mixed as were the returns, but all parties profess to find consolation In the outcome. The fact that local issues entered Into the various cam paigns makes it difficult to use the re sults as a basis for accurate forecast. Republicans say the overturning of the legislatures in New Jersey and New York and the character of the chief magistracy of Maryland protend Republican victory next year. Dem ocrats point to the revolt In such cities as Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Col umbus and Innumerable smaller towns, and the re-election of Fobs in Massachusetts, as a harbinger of party success next year and indicative of the trend of the popular mind against the party In power. W. L. Houser, in charge of the Progressive Republican League, or La Follette headquarters in Washington, made no statement for publication about the result, but he and those as sociated with him evidently believe they see in the election of Tuesday a material gain in progressive senti ment.

PRESIDENT TAFT ACCEPTS President Taft and Other Distln gulshed Persons Take Part In Ceremonies Dedicating a Granite Structure. Hodgenvllle. Ky. The movement inaugurated five years ago by Robert J. Collier, of New York, for tho erec tion of a suitable memorial to Abra ham Lincoln at the place of his birth is now an accomplished fact. In the presence of a gathering In which Masou and Dixon's Line was obliter ated Impressive exercises were held In dedication of the magnificent me morial structure surrounding and cov ering the old log cabin In which Abra ham Lincoln was born, February 12, 1809. The cornerstone was laid by ex President Roosevelt on the centennial p.nnlversury of Lincoln's birth, two years ago UiBt February. At the dedi cation Thursday President Talt was the central figure. The exercises were held at the Thomas Lincoln farm, which waB purchased by the Lincoln Farm Association severul years ago with a fund raised by popular sub scription. After acquiring tbe prop erty the association proceeded with the erection of the memorial building to protect for all time the lowly cabin in which the martyr president was torn. The memorial stands on a slight elevation where stood the original Lincoln homestead. Some years Ago the cabin was removed for exhibition purposes, but was restored to Its original site. The memorial building Is an impos ing structure of white stone, of classic design, with giant pillars ornament ing the front and two sides. The entrance is approached by a broad flight of terraced steps. The dedication exercises were of a simple but impressive character. In addition to President Taft the speak ers and prominent participants in cluded Henry Watterson, Governor Wilson, representing the State of Ken tucky, and Robert J. Collier, who In augurated the Lincoln farm move ment. President Taft said In part: "Few men have come Into public prominence who came absolutely from the soli as did Abraham Lincoln. It is difficult to imagine the lack of com fort, accommodation and the necessi ties of life that there were In tbe cabin In which he was born. "The almost squalor in which he pitas?d his early life made him fami liar with the sufferings, thoughts and sympathies of the plain people, and w hen he came to great power his un derstanding of their reasoning and of their views gave him an advantage in interpreting their attitude which can not be overstated. "He was not slow, but he was cau tious, deliberative, attentive, as be fitted one who Insisted on establish ing every proposition that he adhered to by original reasoning from funda mental postulates. "The diary of his cabinet officers show how, under his very nose and generally with his clear perception of It, political combinations against bis Interest were formed only to be dis solved nnd fall harmless through the patient tact of this master of men, this greatest of diplomats."
