MATTERS AT WASHINGTON.

An appeal for the observance of a
bird Day" in the schools throughout the
country has been made by the agricul-
tural department. The object is to de-
vote the day. to be set apart once year,
or to be combined with "Arbor Day" to
instruction in the value of our native
birds and the means of protecting them
from wanton destruction. The depart
ment, in its published protest against at
tacks on birds, suggests that it is. equally
important to teach the best means of pre-.
serving the timber, game ana fish as to
teach students how TO develop the agri-
cultural wealth of the States.

George Judd, IA quarryman of Barre,
about 60 yeats of age, shot his wife
S lturday and Sunday morning ended
his own life in the county jail at Mont
peler. Judd had either become sudden
ly deranged or crazed by liquor and shot
his wife in the back with revolver. The
woman will probably recover. As soon
a. he had shot his wife he started for
East Barre, village about mile and Il
half distant, with the avowed intention
of shooting his daughter, Mrs. James
Cook of that place. Some one at Web
sterville Immediately telephOned to Con-
stable Hutchins at East Barre and when
Judd arrived there with his revolver he
found the officers waiting for him.
Hutchins Immediately arrested him and
took HIM to the lookup in Montpelier
The cause of Judd's death is supposed to
have been an overdose of laudanum,
taken Just after shooting his wife,
coupled with over-eXertion in running.
