day at Kensington of an internal

or Infamous, in the spring of
1889, when he testified for the
London Times before the special
commission investigating charges
against the late Charles Stewart Par
nell. He closed his career as o spy by
that self-exposurc, during which he
revealed the extent of the Fenian
movement. Since then he had lived
ut Kensington under the name of DIR.

Oklahoma came to close yesterday
ihe battle of the ballots was fought
closely, earnestly, without physical
violence or disturbance Of any kind,

Bird Butchery.

Over five million birds are massa-
cred each year to plume the hats of
womankind. Terms from Cape Cod,
black cartridges, hoopoes, golden
orioles and blue jays, pretty xiii
wakes from Sunday Island, egrets
and herons from our southland and
bobolinks and rail birds from our
own fields and woods are murdered to
feed the female passion for display.
The women of the period will boot at
the Tamil and the Sinhalese for slit
ting their nostrils for the insertion of
jewelry, but they will kill and multi
ate harmless carolers that plumes
may dance from their bonnets.
In the case of the kittiwake, the
plumage is taken at season when
the birds have hardly learned to fly,
and it is usual to tear off the wings
while the bird lives. Then there is
another side to the question. A
great deal of arsenic is used in the
preparation of these feathers, and the
eyes and nostrils of the wearers are
exposed to danger. A more inn
portant aspect of the case is that all
life depends on vegetable life, and
Michelet declares there can be no
vegetable life without bird life

WILD BILL A SOLID MAN.
The Body Of the Famous Desperate
Turned to Stone Long Ago.

The Body OF the Famous Desperate
Turned to Stone Long Ago.
The climate OF Colorado is so ex-
ceedingly dry in the greater portion
of the State that ordinary objects,
such as potatoes, vegetables Of vari-
Gus sorts, and even small animals,
petrify when covered with sand. A
considerable source OF revenue to the
guides and vendors in the Grand Can
yon and other famous resorts is the
sale of petrified wood and other ma
te-ial to tourists. Human bodies
have been known to undergo the pet
ritying process in numerous instances.
The body of Wild Bill, the famous
desperate, is to-day solid stone. He
was buried in sandy country, near
Telluride, and the Washington Post
says that about four years ago his
friends decided to put up monument
to his memory. They went out to
his grave. which is in the open
prairie, and one of the party, an old
scout, was taken along to exactly
locate where he was buried. The
sand had shifted and blown in great
heaps, as 1T does all through that
country, and the scout had good
deal Of difficulty in absolutely locat-
ing the spot. Finally he struck a
mound that he said had Wild Bill
under it. Owing to the uncertainty
of the situation and his hesitancy,
the party decided to dig down and
see whether he was right. They
didn't want to put a monument over
a sand heap unless it had Wild Bill
under it. So they dug down. Pres.
emily tie spade ran into a rock-a
scarce thing in that country. They
shoveled all around it and soon re-
vealed the petrified image of Wild
Bill, as perfect as the day he died,
with not a trace Of decomposition.
Even the clothes and shoes were
turned to stone. Some of the party
wanted TO take the body up for pur-
poses of exhibition. Butone Of Bill's
Old pals, Shorty Jake, as he was
called, remarked that the first man
who tried to do so would find bed
in the hole that Bill filed. So the
idea was abandoned. But IL some
adventurous museum man wants the
greatest drawing card on earth he
can find 1t under Wild Bill's tomb

One of the curious .conundrums of
human nature is the attraction that
hardened ruffians and scoundrels pos
sess for women. It's existence is I'M
questionable. Never burglar, muir
derer, or villain of any stripe is
brought to justice, but he at once
becomes an object of admiration for
some women, and these often refined
and lady-like women. A striking in
stance occurred at Dubuque, Iowa,
the other day. Hugh Robbard has
been convicted OF robbery and muir
der and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. As he left the court room

IT is scarcely possible that there
can be collision among the bidders
for the Worlds Fair buildings, but
most people will find it hard to be-
lieve that the structures which cost
$50, 900, 900 to erect are now worth
only SIS, 160-the amount Of the
highest bid. Thousands of tons of
wrought iron, millions Of feet OF the
best lumber, billions of nails, acres
of glass, gquare miles Of tin-all
going for s15, 900. Why, the very
hinges on the doors are worth more.
The expense of demolition may be
heavy, but it is beyond belief that it
should be so great as to wipe out the
entire value Of enough building ma
terial to construct city as big as
Toledo. 1t is incredible.

"WHAT gloomy weather." remarked
Queen Victoria. "Your Majesty, it
Is always fine where you are" 70
piled Lord Rosebery. This, accord
ing to London correspondent, is the
way in which the English premier of
to-day captured the affectionate re-
gard OF the Queen several years ago.
"She never forgot the neat compli-
ment," he says in concluding the
anecdote. The Queen must be easily
impressed. If Rosebery had been
the first man to turn this particular
compliment, he would have been en-
titled to some credit for it. II he
were even the millionth man to do
so. it might be considered a credita-
BILE performance from an English
standpoint. But the phase is as old
as humanity. Adam repeated it to
Eve ia the Garden of Eden: Jacob
got it off to Rachel; Cleopatra heard
it from the lips Of Antony. All
over the world, in all nations, in all
civilization, it is an old standby. IL
Rosebery had the assurance to pass 1t
of as original he need never fear
nervous prostration. If the Queen
was tickled by it she needs conser-
vator. 1t is possible, however, that
no reproach rests on either party.
Perhaps-very probably, in fact-tha
