NOT in the history Of Pennsylvania,
says the Washington Democrat, can be
found legislature that Is making a
more disgraceful record than the pres
ent one, so overwhelmingly Republican
that the minority makes no figure in
the count. One thing stamps the iufa-
my Of the present session. With reve-
nues declining and the necessity appar
ent of making great reductions in the
appropriations for the public schools or
the benevolent institutions Of the state,
instead Of economizing, the legislature
from the start entered on a career of ex-
travagaut and useless appropriations.
Ii adopted a system OF throwing away
money not cOuntenanced in this state
even with the treasury Overtiowing We
mean by the increase of salaries and the
creation of new and useless offices. The
new offices created carry with them sal
aries amounting to nearly $500, 600.
Among the great curiOsities in this
line was the bill pensioning IS judges
y l4o arr ItdiN 10 lttllt bI lllll StldIltS
for life to make room for Is ambitious
Republican lawyers. The whole pen
sion scheme, vicious in principle and
corrupt in practice, was for no other
purpose than to make places for parti
sans We challenge the production of
anything like it in any state of the
Union, New York did try a judicial
pension for a few years, but the
abuses inseparable from any pension
system induced the late constitutional
convention in that state to stamp it out
root and branch.
One OF the great evils of the present
session viii not be disclosed for some
time after the adjournment, now fixed
for the first week in June Ibis is the
immense amount Of special legislation OF
a jobbing character due under the
guiSe of general laws. Governor Patti
son was always vIgilant in this re-
spect, but Governor Hastings Is in with

propose Pattison had a happy knack of
getting at the intent of vicious IegisIa

OF with the Widows Jewels.

New York, May 13.-Mrs. Adolph
Sims. an aged widow, became acquainted
with smooth faced, effeminate-Iook-
ing young man named Henry Fisher
during her charitable work in this citv.
Mrs Sims had much valuable iewelrv,
most of which she wore during the day
and locked up in little box at night.
Fisher usually locked the precious box
in her safe at night and brought it to
her again in the morning.
This morning he got the box, as usual,
and disappeared with jewels worth 50, =
Geo. Mrs. Sims notified the police, and
Fishers room was searched. His trunk
was filled with fancy feminine costumes,
including Mother Hubbard wrappers of
coIOIed crepe silk, basques and corsets.
There were also bill programmes and
posters, showing that Harry Morti-
me, which Is supposed to be Fishers
stage name, was a professional female

THE recent investigation of DIR. Mer-
riman. chief of the division of ornithol-
ogv of the agricultural department at
Washington. should convince the most
obstinate farmer that he is in the wrong
concerning certain birds injuring the
crops.
According to Dr. Merriman who has
been for several years engaged in ex-
amiulng and anaIy yzjng the contents of
the st.marhs of hawks. owls. crows.
blackbirds, meadow larks. and other
birds IF North America. which are sup
posed to be strikingly beneficial or III
furious to farmers. the stomachs OF over
: 900 birds, taken at different seasons
of the year. have already been ahaIy|eu
and the contents determined, while
some 10 600 are still unexamined. The
results in some cases have been remark
abIe showing in several notable instan-
cf. that popular ideas regarding the in
iurIous effects of certain birds were
wholly mistaken, and that they have
been the victims of an unjust perSecu
ton. This has been found to be espec
Tally the case with hawks and owls, for
the slaughter of which many states give
bounties. PENNSYLVANIA in two years
gave over 100000 in hawk and owl
hounties Examinations of the stom
achs of these birds proved conclusively
that ninety, five per cent. Of their food
was field mice, grasshoppers, crickets,
etc. which were infinitely more injur
ious to crops than they
It was found that only five kinds of
| hawks and owls ever touched poultry.

the crow also shows that bird Is not so
| black as lie has been painted by the
farmers. The charges against the crow
were that he ate corn and DESTROYED the
eggs and poultry aud wild birds. EX-
aminations of their stOmachs showed
that they ate obnoxious insects and other
! animals. and that although twenty five
percent of their food Is corn it Is almost
waste corn picked up in the fail and
winter Another plea for the hawks

An AerOnaut'S Peril.

Victoria, b. c. May 1.-THE Aus
tralian steamer Miowera brings news Of
an accident which occurred at GympiS,
New South Wales, "A few days before the
ship sailed, 10y which Mile. Essie Viola,
Of San Francisco, known as the queen
Of American aerOnauts, nearly lost her
life.
When the balloon in which Mile Vio-
la assembled reached an altitude of over
LOCO feet the thousands of spectators
below were shocked at the appearance Of
flames bursting through the huge silken
bag. With great difficulty the aaronaut
released the parachute, but this too
caught fire as she was about to jump
fTUm the balloon.
Nevertheless, Mile. Viola leaped from
the cage, and with her burning para
chute iluttered down to earth. The
strangeSt feature of the accident, which
Is authenticated for by a number of Aus
tralIan papers, Is that the young woman
was not seriously injured by the fall.
