FEATHERS on wOMEN's HATS.
Inv Against Wearing BirdS III"
uoye LIKELY TO he Enforced

BOSTON July e.-"There are more
criminals walking the streets OF Boston
dressed in stylish clothes than there are
in all the prisons OF Massachusetts,
That is the statement made by an emil
nent Boston lawyer. based upon the pro-
visions of an act which was passed by the
recent Legislature in its closing days ana
annroved by The Governor June 1lth.
According to this statute, 1t Is an OF
fence against the laws Of the state 10
wear for purposes Of dress or ornament
or TO sell or have in possession the Sdles
ar feathers of any of the birds which are
commonly used by millions in the adorn-
ment of ladies' hats. The existence OF the
law is hardly yet known and IT was pass
ed by the Legislature in the rush OF the
final weeks business, but it is resur-
rection Of the old blue laws, and prohi-
bition of the prevalent practice OF wear
ing BIRDS feathers for ornamental pur-
poses.
And, what is more. Police-Commissloner
Martin says that the law will probably be
enforced. The confusion which this law
will create If enforced, will .be very great.
The wholesale milliners who deal in fea-
theirs almost entirely, are in high
dudgeon, and say that 1t is possible for
the authorities to ruin their business
at any moment.

Fourth of July at Laurel.
For the Dispatch.)

For some years have been very much
interested in the Industrial School for
Bows at Laurel, and 1t was my good
fortune to be there on Monday and be
present at their Fourth of-July exercises.

&c difficult i'm a short article to give
good idea of it.
The home is so convenient and well
arranged, and conducted in such perfect
order. and with so much gentleness ana
love. that l feel sure many of the boys
who go there will. in after years, ii not
now. be very grateful that there were
men capable of founding such place
and of running it.
one of the officers, Mr.. Gibson, has,
with his own money, purchased sIapho-
phone 10 amuse the boys. He kindly
entertained us with it for quite awhile,
and some of the boys hung lovingly
around him during the time.
The bows had plenty of lemonade, and
each boy was given nice bag or nuts
and candy. They had a quantity or fire-
crackers. and amused themselves firing
them off and in playing ball.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sampson know well how
10 enjoy the GLORIOUS Fourth anu
also how to make others appreciate ana
enjoy it. Mr.. Sampson, in prlel' put
very pleasant and instructive, niue
speech. endeavored to teach the poys
that nothing could be accomplished with

men of the Revolutionary period. ana 10
toocb them the value of union, TO honor
those men. to love their country and 10
honor and be willing 10 defend It's nag.
seven of the bows recited the Declara-
ton Of Independence, and did 1t Vel

that .'The evil which men do lives alter

and the boys, with right good Will gave

men who did so much for their country
in it's early days.

BY the way, government by injunction
is ant TO play an important part in some
of the strikes. Several of the railroads
and mining companies that are in the
hands of receivers of the United States
courts have applied to the courts for re-
straining orders to prevent any action
upon the part of the strikers threatening
interference with their employment OF
non-union men,
So too. the United States courts will
be appealed tc to prevent any obstruction
TO the TRANSPORTATION of their coal pro-
duct-this because it is apprehended that
union employees of the railroad COM
panies may refuse to handle coal mined
by non-union labor.
But il is not quite clear to us how the
orders of the courts are to be made eff
fective in these cases. Possibly, the
men will be required to load and for
ward the cars under pain Of being held
to be in contempt of the courts.
Dispatches published in the Philadelphia
papers yesterday indicate that there is
some prospect that concessions will be
made by the contending parties, and a
compromise effected in the course Of two
weeks. We hope so.
