MUST NOT WEAR FEATHERS.
Women Liable TO Punishment il they Pos
soss Bird Plumage.

One of the bills which was signed by
Governor Wolcott Of Massachusetts Is
aimed against the destruction Of insect
killing birds for millinery purposes. 1t
makes the mere possession of the skin
or feathers OF any bird which is now
protected by law punishaDir by the
same penalty as has hitherto been I'M
posed for killing the birds. The bin
was opposed as an interference with
business, and as exposing women to
punishment for wearing feathers which
they now have but large majority
voted for the bill on the ground that
the destruction of these birds has re-
suited in a vast Increase OF vegetation
eating insects, causing much pecuni-
airy less. wholly aside from questions

UNABLE IOPAY TALMAGES SALARY.
HIS CHURCH CLOSED.
Decline in Attendance Induces the Preacher
to take a Vacation.

While cX-presdent Cleveland and
wife attended the First Presbyterian
church In Washington. Of which Dr.
TalmagC is pastor. II was necessary FOR
policemen to Keep the great crowds In
order who desired to attend that church
ON the sabbath But since the de-
parture of the eX-president there has
been n great falling off In attendance,
most of the visitors In Washington GO
ing tp the Methodist church, where
President Mckinley attends.
At u special meeting of the trustees
Of the FIRST Presbyterian Churt n IL was
decided to close the church for the rest
uG the summer. There was much debate
over the matter but all objections were
lNcrruled 10y the statement that Dr.
Talmagc would not remain in the city
during the heated term, and that he
had already completed arrangements to
spend the summer at his home on Long
Island. Dr. Sunderland with whom
palmagc i8 associated In the churcn
work said that his associate. Dr. Tai
mage. had not received a single cent of
salary for the past four months and he
also added that there was little pros
poet of his getting any for the next
three months. as the church is 10 be
closed during that time. The fact is that
the attendance at the First Presbyterian
church has taken n big slump since the
withdrawal from II of ex-prcsident and
Mrs. Cleveland. The collections and pew
rents have fallen off in proportion. and
as DR. Talmages salary Is contingent
upon the receipts of the church. his
preaching for the past few months has
been unprOftablc from u financial
standpoint. When it was decided to
bring the celebrated Brooklyn divine to
Washington, the question of the salary
to be paid to him was left open. as
there was some friction In the church.
Or. Talmage submitted proposition on
this subject which was finally accepted
He agreed that with the receipts from
pew rents and the collections, all the
expenses OF the church should first be
paid, including the salaries of Dr. sun
dcrland. the choir and the SEXTON and
the bills for light, fuel. etc. lie WAS to
take the balance as his salary. This
was satisfactory to the trustees and
was also agreeable to the new pastor.
There was u big boom in the Church
Immediately after DR.. Talmage's advent
and at every service hundreds of people
were turned away from the doors. One
Of the members said that the income of
the church was then averaging $500 a
week. The attendance gradually drop
ped off however. and since March tho
church has had no more than ordinary
sized congregations. AS y result of this
lack of interest I'm the First Prcsbyter-
ian church, the receipts have greatly
decreased. ana for the past four
months they have been barely sufficient
to pay the current expenses. the inter
est on the debt ana the salaries Of Or.

According to the salary agreement, Or.
Talmagc has received nothing.
