The speedy trial and conviction of
murderer Fredericks at San Francisco
goes somewhat to redeem the law from
the reproach of its usual delays. But
such celerity is noticeable simply because
it is unusual. Fredericks' case was not
one marked by more brutal and malicious
clements than many another. He was
committing robbery, or rather attempt
ing to do so. His victim resisted and the
robber shot him down and fed. There
was. therefore. no specially agonizing
feature in the case to stir up the officers
of the law to speedy action. They SIM
ply used the machinery the statutes pro-
vide, and through the ordinary methods
they have brought the guilty to convlc-
ton inside of few weeks from the date
Of the crime. Of course, there was no
dispute about the facts that amounted to
anything, nor had Fredericks a sack of
gold to fee lawyers to battle for delay.
Stlll the case has demonstrated that it is
possible to bring homicide cases to trial
comparatively soon, if the law officials
are so minded.

as feeble but Intellectual protest against
this disclosure, we are resorting to grand
demonstrations in the nature of pre-
tense of prosperity in the way of Worlds
Fairs, Midwinter Fairs, fiestas, bull
fights, lion and bear fights, and at the
very tail end of all these self-deceptive de-
vices the Mardi Gras march up Market
street forms a fitting climax of pathos.
This witless secondhand mimicry, as
stale as chestnut joke, was preceded up
the principal street of the metropolis of
this coast by the Governor of the State
and followed by Buck Taylor's Wild
West show and an advertisement for axl e
grease.
The starving millions of our fellow
countrymen cannot be fed by contemptu-
Gus sneers at their impoverished condi-
tion; nor is the gate money industry to
festas, fairs and bull fights remedy for
a condition of industrial bankruptcy,
which needs but slight intensity to make
it a menace to social order throughout
the country.

RESTORING AND DYEINc FEATHERS

A new and satisfactory way to clean
white hat feathers is to dip them in
lime water. Make the solution quite
thick and allow the plumes to remain
in the wash for some time When
thoroughly soaked, lift them gently
out of the bath so that the mixture will
partially adhere. Next lay the feathers
on a rough cloth, letting them remain
until dry. Then shake thoroughly and
softly beat against the cloth until all
the particles of dry lime have fallen
off. A sun bath of a few minutes will
restore their freshness, and the usual
amatuer process of holding them over
steam will result in their being al
most as good as new.
In curling feathers with Steel it
should be remembered that only the
blunt side of the instrument should be
used.
A wise recipe to follow in preparing
feathers for beds is this: Water sat
urated with quick lime; the feathers
are we'll STEPPED and stirred for three
or four days; they are taken out
drained and washed in clean water
dried on nets or cloth, shaken occas-
ionalIy while drying and finally beaten
to eNpel any dust. This is for amateur
treatment; the most efficient method
is to have them steamed by machines.
To dye white or cream feathers, it
will be found that they take easily to
all dyeing materials. Safflower and
lemon juice for rose color or pink,
Brazil wood for deep red, Brazil wood
and cudbear for crimson, indigo for
blue and weld for yellow 1t is safest
to bleach them before dyeing The
manner Of treatment is the same as
that for cloth. JOCELYN DAVIES.

THE DRuMMER,s STORY.
So Improbable That the st. Louis
Man Declined to Listen.

From the Detroit Free Press
The drummer was telling a story on
the train, or rather was beginning to
tell one.
Some time ago. he was saying, Il
was at a hotel in an Illinois town,
where L met a. remarkable and almost
terrible adventure. There was stopping
at the same hotel very unassurning
and refined man from Chicago, who
Il beg your pardon" interrupted a
quiet person on the drummer's left.
II said repeated the drummer,
THAT at this hotel was very unas-
summing and refined man from Chicago,
who"-
1T thought that was what you said"
interrupted the person again, "and L
hope you will excuse me if 1 decline to
listen further to your story. From
what I have heard, it was an altmos-
phere of improbability. 1 may say
impossibility, which promises a strain
on the imagination am sure I cannot
submit myself to without having brain
fever"
Certainly, sir. certainly" replied the
drummer; II didn't know you were
from st. Louis and the entente
cordiale was suspended.
