woman's League and ornithoiogy

The Woman's league, an outgrowth
of the Woman's Sound Money league,
held it's regular meeting yesterday after
noon in the Friday Morning club rooms
Mrs. Carpenter read a paper on Bird
Life" She spoke very earnestly against
the killing of birds for the trimming of
women's hats and the repulsive practice
of wearing the bodies and heads of song
birds. Mrs. Carpenters paper showed
her to be an enthusiastic lover of the
feathered creation and an intelligent OBJ
server of their habits.
Mrs. Norris followed in a sprightly
paper taking the opposite side of the
argument. The bright plumaged birds
used in millinery, she said, come from
Australia and South America, where
they are so numerous the quantity i'm
ported makes no appreciable difference
in the number.
A general discussion followed the
papers. Mrs. e. T. Stevens is president
of the league and Mrs. Laura Craig Sec

Schubert in this quintet not only re-

the hour of dissolution nigh at hand,
he seemed, as 1t were, to throw aside all
his weaknesses. There is no padding,

May C. Standish has been awarded a
verdict of $3.50 in the city court in a suit
brought against Manager William A
Brady. Miss Standish, who was en-
gagged in 1891 for minor part in the
"Clemencaue Case" was dismissed upon
her refusal to play liza, and sued for the
balance of the seasons salary If other
actresses had been gifted with modesty
similar to that of Miss Standish, the
dirty "Clemenceau Case" could never
have been put upon the boards.

Judge Murphy was trying a case IN
San Rafael once. Il was a murder case
and bitterly contested, says the San
Francisco Bulletin Il had not pro-
ceeded very far before the attorneys
got to loEgerheads. The attorney for
the defense did his best to initiate the
attorney for the prosecution and the
prosecuting attorney retaliated with all
his might Finally matters got to such
a pitch that the attorney for the prose-
cution turned upon his opponent and
called him down in open court Judge
Murphy interrupted. saying;
"Gentlemen, gentlemen. this won't
do. This sort OF thing is very disre-
spectful to the court. This is no place
for such exhibitions II you gentle
men have any differences to settle, set
tie them out of court"
The attorney for the defense imme-
diately rose and said: I'VE have no
differences. II your honor please"
IF your honor please said the
prosecuting attorney. Il wish to say
that we have differences. And wish
to give notice that when court adiourns

Judge Murphy exploded How dare
you, sir? How dare you? This is the
grossest contempt of court! How dare
you come here and attempt to terrify
counsel? fine you $50, sir; $50
The attorney replied: That is rath-

Judge Murphy was not proof against
such subtle flattery and the fine was
promptly remitted.

wisdom. II is wen known that when
the queen OF England travels to the

tically her whole bedroom goes with
her. Not for years has Victoria slept
in a strange bed, and thus she lives long
and prospers. as Rip Van Wrinkle
says but she Is not the only monarch

therefore. not particular enough about
his sleeping apartments to carry bed
with him. The German emperor Is
young man and so is not as careful OF
himself as some older monarchs may
be: he is content to carry two pillows
with him when he travels. The Grand
Duke Paul. however. takes not only bed
and bedding. but bedstead as well. He
has a metal bedstead of peculiar con-
struction that can be taken apart and
folded up in small compass; this Is in
variably part Of his baggage when
travelling. The reason, however, diff
fers from that which actuates the
august persons l have previously men
toned. The Grand Duke Paul is so
tall that there is no bed In Europe that
will ht him. European beds, as eY-
cry traveller knows, are likely to be
scant in length. and in French hotels
one often comes upon bed that will
not adequately allow him to stretch his
legs. However, no innkeeper in any
country has bed long enough for the
Grand Duke Paul; therefore that un-
fortunate man has to carry his couch
with him, just as IL he were giant

whether or not the grand duke gets
special terms at hotels for bringing
