THE LAW ON THAT SUBJECT IN THIS DISTRICT
1T DOES NOT GO so EAR AS THE NEW YORK
LAW.
The Humane society is making every effort to
detect persons killing insectivorous birds for
hat trimmings 1t is said that persons are
engaged in the business of killing them for
ladies who prepare them for sale. Recently
Agent Key, Of the Humane society, found some
ladies who had in their possession portions OF
birds, such as wings and pretty single feathers.
These persons could not be prosecuted because
the law OF the District does not provide for the
punishment of persons having in their possess
sion parts OF birds. as the New York law does.
In New York state the law Furnishes persons for
having In their possession parts of BIRDS AS
we'll as birds. II such law prevailed in the
District the work of destroying these birds
might be stopped. The law for the protection
OF birds under which the prosecutions are
brought were passed at the second session of
the F"rty-hfty Congress- Section nine of the
act provides: THAT no person shall kill or ex-
pose for sale or have In his or her possession
dead. at any time, any turkey buzzard, wren,
sparrow, blue bird humming bird, blue jay,
robin or migratory thrush, wood or song bird,
martin, mocking bird, swallow, oriole red or
cardinal bird, cat bird pewlt, whippoorwill.
gold finch, sap sucker, hanging bird, wood
pecker, crow black bird, or any other insectivor-
Gus bird, save as herein provided, under a
penalty of two dollars for each bird killed or In
possession dead

Henry George received in New York city. That
The standard bearer In New York should get

the capitalists. II such q great poll could be
made IN New York under such adverse cir
cu;nstances, the prominent members of the

do even better.
STRENGTH OF THE SOCIETIES.
There are 2l5 local asse in blies OF the Knights
of Labor in this city with members in each
division. These locals will be made the base OF
ward and division machinery. From the dis
trict assemblies and the central Lauor union
the city committee will probably be selected.
Thus the leaders in the movement believe the
new party will be in readiness tor the Bullitt
bill election. The matter was talked over at
the headquarters of District Assembly No. L,
500 Giraru avenue, last Friday. 1t was decided
that no action could be taken an order, but
that after the adjournment OF the regular
meeting of the locals and the districts other
meetings be held, and the political work be
done without violating The rules of the order
An accurate estimate OF the forces Of organ
lied labor in this city shows u total member
ship OF sc, 900 voters, divided as follows:
Knights Oh Labor, $4,000; German Federation

Carpenters aud Joiners' union, IL, 900; Anal
gamaLed Iron and Steel Workers, 5000; Pro-
gressive Cigarmakers, 5000, and few small
organizations. The total vote tor sheriff In 1855
was 141,6i5. The total membership OF tue
labor organizations is, therefore, more tlan

claim that fourt tfths OF their number will vote

In the general stampede which followed

at last the smoke of battle had cleared
away and people returned to rebuild
their fortunes the fate of the murdered
woman was recalled and three theories
were maintained.
One was that during the ball a shrap-
mel shell had penetrated the retreat,
and, exploding, killed Miss Emma. The
second was that on her way home she
had been outraged and murdered by her
escort The third was that she was
federal spy; that she was tasked with her
identity, and that she had all along been
furnishing Sherman with important in
