RABBIT PLAGIB THREATENED.
government InvMtlgatlng the Im
portation of Belgiun Hares.
From the New York Evening: Post.
Washington. Aug. 11.—The Belgian hare
1? the subject of an investigation which
Dr. T. S. Palmer, assistant chief of the
biological survey in the department of
agriculture, has undertaken with a view
of discovering whether its wholesale im
portation and propagation does not in
volve a great danger to our fruit-growing
and kindred interest®. In California and
other states of the far West, the jaek
rabbit has long been regarded as a pest,
and In Australia and New Zealand the wild
rabbit has proved most destructive. These
facts convey a warning which Secretary
Wilson believes we should heed.
Before 1864 rabbits were unknown in
Australia. In that year the proprietor of
] arwon Park, near Victoria, introduced
a few specimen® of the common rabbit of
Europe. The animals were turned loose,
nnd little was thought about them for
fourteen years. At the end of that time
they had conquered the continent. They
had multiplied till, like the seed of
Abraham, the offspring of the first half
dozen pair were as the sands of the sea.
They ate everything that was green,
ruining the sheep ranches, gnawing the
hark of fruit trees, and attacking garden
vegetables and other small crops. The in
jury wrought to agriculture nnd herding
interests was estimated at millions of
jounds yearly.
Then the people awoke to the necessity
of checking the scourge. Under the stim
ulus of legislation in South Australia,
Victoria, Now South Wales. New Zea
land, Queensland and Tasmania a slaugh
ter began in 1879. It spread till not less
than 19,182,539 rabbits were destroyed in
New South Wales alone In 1887. For
twenty years the Australian governments
and the farmers have kept up a steady
fight against the rabbits. Every manner
of death-dealing has been tried, from pois
on to “electrocution.” Up to 1888. the gov
ernments had expended more than $5,000,-
000 in their efforts to exterminate the
At one time a reward of $25,000
was offered for the best practical means
of killing the animal by wholesale, aitfl
solutions were proposed by 1.456 persons.
No one secured the prize. The only way
ihe Australians have discovered for es
caping from the rabbit is to fence him
out Thousands of dollars are spent an
nually on rabbit-proof fences.
The experience of this country with the
ja k-rabbit is another bit of harrowing
history. In the Western states bouniios
are offered, amounting in some places to
five cent® a head. Kansas has paid more
th.rn $50,000 in rabbit bounties. In Califor
nia it has been found necessary to or
tnnize regular rabbit drives in order to
reduce their number. In these drives, a
troop of men afoot and on horseback,
s.-our the country in an extended skirmish
line, beating the brush and driving the
animals before them, and finally into the
wide mouth of a corral made of light wire
fencing with a V-shaped opening, of which
the two ends are several miles apart.
Then the corral gates are closed and the
rabbits are beaten to death with clubs.
At a Grand Army rabbit drive at, Fresno,
Cal., two years ago. 30,000 rabbits were
killed. In the San Joaquin valley it is
estimated that 500,000 rabbits were killed
in drives between 1888 and 1898. It has been
observed that the wolf and the coyote have
shown that they can be very useful to
nan by killing rabbits, and in many West
ern states it has been found best to take
the bounty off the bigger beast® in order
that they might become more abundant
and prey upon the smaller ones. But we
have not yet had recourse to the Austra
lian device of inoculating the rabbits with
I measles This experiment was not whol
| ly successful, as the healthy animals
showed an unwillingness to take the dis
ease.
These are a few of the things Secretary
Wilson and Dr. Palmer hav* in mind as
i they watrh the Importation and distrlbu
[ tion of the Belgian h*ire. “The Belgian
I bare in capitviiy will probably do no
I harm." said Dr. Palmer, in discussing the
matier. “We are not prepared to say it
will do any harm anyway. But we are
apprehensive of what may happen in case
proper safeguard® ore not taken. While in
the West recently. Secretary Wilson heard
f vt there were no less than 50,000 Belgian
hares in Los Angeles alone. As they
were introduced only a year ago la®t win
der this is a large increase. We have been
old that several thousand have broken
' b linds and are at liberty. It is almost
inevitable that sooner or later the anl--
in ils should break or burrow out, and if
i proper check were not applied
might gain a foothold in this country and
rival the pest of Australia.”
The history of the Belgian hare in this
< ountry is brief, but full of action. As
nearly as can be learned it began with
an article in one of the Sunday newspa-
Ters of Eos Angeles. The article was
written merely as an interesting feature,
but there was an immediate response of
interest and inquiry, and hare raising
sprang into a thrifty “back-yard indus
try.” It grew fat on newspaper advertis
ing and spread to Denver, Kansas City,
Chicago and Indianapolis, and has even
manifested itself in some Eastern cities.
Tt was .first exploited for its profits, on
the ground that there was a market for
the meat at fifteen to twenty cents a
iw>und, and for the fur for the manufac
ture of electric seal. But the rapid spread
of the industry and the demand for good
breeding animals soon resulted in mak
ing the hares too valuable to kill. The
values have increased to the point where
they are believed to be largely specula
tive, as in the case of the Dutch tulip
mania, and fine animals are now held to
be worth from SSOO to SI,OOO aplecte.
That the rabbit has a commercial value
and utility is not denied by the Depart
men of Agriculture. On the contrary,
Secretary Wilson calls attention to the
fact that our felt hats are made from rab
bit fur, and that the greater part of this
fur is imported from Australia. Some of
it comes from Europe, and the smallest
part from the wild rabbits of this coun
try. in one year, from July, 1894, to July,
1895, London imported from Australia
52,560,000 skins, at a total value of $1,000,-
000. A third of the London importation
come® later to New York. It is estimat
ed by one of the leading hatmakers of
the East that his industry consumes 48,-
000,000 skins a year, yielding 3,000,000
pound® of fur, valued at $1,960,<K)0, ex
clusive of the cost of cutting. The skins
are also used for making jujube, sjzing
and glue
At present prices, however, the Belgian
hare is more valuable to the fancier than
to the hat-maker. The department has
no figure® to show how many have been
imported during the last eighteen months,
but is is known that they are coming
in a steady stream, from the frequent
telegrams of inquiry which arrive from
express and steamship companies, wheth
er theie are any government regulations
to b® observed In respect to them. They
all have to pay duty. They might be ex
empted if the owner® could submit to the
department a "stud-book” showing their
high pedigree, but no such records have
been submitted.
The department may decide, if its In
vestigations warrant it. to take some ac
tion in regard to the wholesale importa
tion of hare®. Otherwise, it will confine
* fs If to recommendations to local /author
ltl*s and the distribution of useful infor
mation. In reply to a flood of Inquiries,
department desires to state that no
literature on the subject has been pre-
Par*d.

IMCU B CU BS VS CHICAGO.
One Pays Members SSOO on Birth of
the First Baby.
From the New York Journal.
Chicago, Aug. 18. —There are two social
organizations In Chicago which cannot be
duplicated in any other city in the Unit
ed States to-day, if, indeed, in the world.
In a sense, they are protective as well as
social. They have been in existence now
for over a year, and each has much good
recorded to its credit.
The first was started early last year,
wdth quiet little headquarters in one of
the busiest office buildings on La Salle
street. It was properly chartered, and
began life wdth this one motto: ‘‘With
a mission and without a muzzle.” It
claims to be co-operative in every sense
of the word, and that membership is as
necessary for young married people as
sunshine is for flowers.
Any married couple may join this so
ciety by paying a fee of sl, and from
time to time, as the occasion comes, by
paying such necessary assessments as
are levied per share in the benefits named
in its certificate.
When a baby is born to a member, the
certificate of the attending physician,
properly sworn to, is all the proof that
is necessary to entitle the mother to re
ceive in sixty days a sum not to exceed
SSOO. This amount is dependent upon -the
assessment, which is made upon all mem
bers of $1 each.
The membership is limited to I.OCO fami
lies, and as fast as one becomes entitled
to draw its due is dropped from the list
and anew candidate taken in. The full
quota of members has been filled since
last January.
Members must have belonged to the so
ciety for one full year before they are
eligible to partake In its benefits. So
far there have been twenty-seven as
sessments and the amount of SSOO has
been paid over in each case. The. as
sociation has copyrighted its name and
literature so as to avoid, if possible,
competition. The whole business is con
ducted very quietly, and is purely local
in its character.
When the season of 1890 opened a so
city was formed on the North Side,
which was finally extended to Evens ton
and Oak Park, having for its object pro
tection against the “dreadful men on the
part of its members, who are all young
ladies from 17 to 30 years of age. These
damsels do not Intend that the matri
monial part of their lives shall be built
on the sands, so they have formed them
selves into a mutual protective alliance,
W hich is both for offensive and defensive
work. ~ .
The method of looking into the charac
ter© f u youn man is simple, but deck -
edlv effective. A meeting is called, and
each member who has a loverof whom
she i= the least bit doubtful, gives his
name and as many of the particulars as
she deems advisable to the club. All is
held in the strictest secrecy.
A committee is then named from among
those present, and then there begins a
measuring up of virtue, morals and men
tal trait®, by the side of which the Ber
tillion eystem sinks into* insignificance as
to physical details. Woe to the young
man who has broken his former engage
ment without good cause, to him who
spends his late hour® of nights in Chicago,
and puts poison in his mouth in the shape
of intoxicants. Private inquiries are made
by many young women who are curiously
inclined, so It goes without saying that
every pebble on the beach will be turned
up in on effort to get at the bottom df
facts.
At the next regular monthly meeting
the young ladie® meet with their judg
ments all formed. A regular ballot is
taken, as in society halls, on the question
of admitting to membership. No one has
any chance of knowing who desposits the
black balls. Three of these will condemn
the suitor.
In order that the applicant for know,-
edge shall know upon what Judgment the
vote was cast. the. member blackballing

Fiah So Thick They Can Scoop Them
Out With Tlielr raw®.
From the New York Journal.
Kansas City, Aug. 18.—Dr. C. D. Rogers,
a delegate-at-large from Alaska, starts
home to-*day, tfad enough to get oway
from this torrid sun. He said he was go
ing where bear® eat so muchlish they are
themselves unfit for food. The grizzly
notably at this season of the year is so
fishy that he is not palatable. Even the
clumsy black bear gets enough to make
him smell like salmon.
how do bears fish?” a man who
sat in the Midland listening to the Jolly
little de!egate-at-large inquired
"They throw them out of the water
with their puws and then pick them up
in their mouth®.”•
This was as mysterious as before, but
the doctor explained. He said:
“I ought first to say that one packing
company put® up 200,000 cases of salmon
in our region a year, and it is only one
of many companies. There are fourteen
salmon to the case, and you can figure
It up for yourtelvec. Salmon nre salt
water fish, but they like to spawn in
fresh water. For that reason they come
up the river and climb the small fall®.
It Is pitlful to see them trying to scale
the Naha Falls Being forty feet sheer,
the effort I® hopeless, hut the fish try and
try until they are tired out and have to
stay where they are. They get wedged in
rhere so tight it is possible to walk on
them. Bears get them under, these con
ditions. They find them wedged even at
the falls which they are Jumping.
"When the salmon come a cry goes from
Sitka to Mount VcrstovSe ‘The salmon nr*
coming; the salmon are coming!’ Salmon
D the beef of Alaska. Whin we get sal
mon we also get salmon trout. Following
the wake of the salmon coroes the trout.
He is there for no good purpose. He eats
THE MORNING NEW S: TUESDAY, AUGUST 21. 1900,
the salmon spawn and so destroys mil
lions. But he is there and there is no
driving him off.”
Dr. Rogers says high prices ore fiction
in the Klondike. “We get a very good
tenderlo-in steak there for $1.25,” he says,
“in a cafe that is not to be excelled north
of San Francisco. There is not a cent
piece in the whole territory. We use
nothing less than the nickle. Everything
at the bar costs 25 cents, whether it is a
glass of beer or spirits. Cigars cost about
15 cents, but we make a very good one
there to sell for three for a quarter. Cold
storage has made beef reasonable and
even vegetables do not command the high
prices of old. Laundry work is reason
able. I think collars are done up for 5
cents, cuffs for 10 cents and shirts at the
rate of 15 cent® each.
“Life there has its charms. I get mail
now every fifteen days. When I first
went there 1 got it about every two
months. It is a good place for the young
man to go even if he has no taste for
mining.”
The doctor was at one time; the only
physician in his section of the woods. He
wiil not ®ay what he charged for a visit,
but the other delegates who came here
with him say that sometimes he would
be sent 200 miles across country, nnd if
a baby was not worth its weight in gold.
4t cost nearly as much. But those old
days are gone, although Dr. Rogers is
said to have substantial reminders of their
being.
He is now preparing to operate in
Nome, where the latest gold excitement
is. Instead of gold he has coal, and his
mine is said to be the only fuel within a
range of 200 miles.

AN
OPEN
LETTER
From a Good Little-
Woman in Sorth
Carolina.
How Cured
her when e<er>thing eiss
foiled, k graieful friend
always.
Below we publish a
letter from a great suf
ferer from nervousoewa,
I and a general broken
down condition of the
system. The cure is not
an unusual one for
Gravbeard. Many such
letters are received ev
ery week.
Here is the letter:
Allison, N. C.,
July 2. Isoo.
Rtfpcs® Drug: Company,
Savannah, Ga.:
I Dear Sirs:
I write to trll you how grataful
I am that Graybe&rd was tnveiHed
iNarly all my life I have been a
great sufferer from nervo jnes. I
could not sleep. I ate very httle. I
lot flesh nil the time. My complex
ion gol sallow. Nothing pleased
me. Our family doctor did all ha
could for me. He worked patient
ly, but everybody noticed that I
kept going down hili. People
thought 1 had consumption. One
day I happened to pick up a little
booklet with the picture of a candle
lon it. It attracted my attention.
J read it. It was of deep Interest
to me. The next day I bought a
I bottle of Graybeard. I had net
I taken the full bottl® before I felt
better. I have token tdx bottles,
und have just bought three more.
I have gained flesh, l huvon’C felt
1 better since I wus a child. Every
, thing •* eat I digest. And I have
a splendid appetite. 1 can laugh at
amusing thing®. I imagine I fee*
like othe-r people. Everybody eo
glad to ®ee me so vigorous looking
and so healthy. I would not take
SI,OOO for the benefit I have received
from Gray ben rd. It i? a wonderful
remedy, and l fu’.ly bolleve it saved
!my life. I can't thank you enough.
Your® truly,
MIBS NANNIE JONES.
We claim exactly all
this for Graybeard. It’s
no new thing to ns. It has
cured many just such
ailments. It is purely a
vegetable compound,
and for building up a
broken down, nervous
system it is truly won
derful. For eradicat
ing old and deep seated
diseases, as catarrh,
eczema, dyspepsia, can
cer, rheumatism, it has
no equal on earth. It is
free of mercury or pot
ash, and begins to build
up the sick man from
the first.
