ASKS EMPLOYEES TO ACT.
Hallway Age Introduces - New Method
Of Relief from Legislation.

That the employees OF the railways
suffer most and most directly by any
diminution In railway revenues is a
fact which the employees themselves
III the mass have been very slow to
understand, but 1t seems as II they
were awakening to the fact at last in
earnest. At intervals, during the last
two years, the employees of certain
states have banded together to make
their political influence felt in opposi-
ton to anti-railway legislation. In
Minnesota, in Iowa and in Kansas
among the western states, employer 5
clubs have done themselves and the
railways good service in the past.
Now. after the bitter experience OF the
last few years. the employers all over
tie country are rising in protest
against the renewed bitterness OF the
granger attacks. In several states the
railway men OF all classes are fighting
vigorously the various legislative raids
on railway revenues which are threat
ened. Best OF all has been the con-
clusion reached at the union meeting
OF the different railway labor orders
at Little Rock. Ark, when resolution
was adopted calling on members OF all
orders to oppose legislation which
would further reduce railway earnings.
In Illinois. Kansas. Missouri. Ohio and
other states employees are protesting
with more or less unanimity against
the passage Of 2-cent-a-mile passenger
rate laws and similar enactments. all
OF which is very good.
There was n time when II was pos
sible for the public and for the rail-
way employees to be. or pretend to be.
ignorant of the real condition OF the
railways. There was a time when 1t
was possible to make the credulous
tel!eve that the books OF railway com
pan!es were kept in such a way tha,
their true condition was not known.
and that all professions of poverty on
their part were untrue and made for
political efioc, only. That time has
passed. The condition OF the railway
properties of the countries is, In its
general outlines at least. known to
anybody who cares to know It. And

Greek proper names have been the
source of considerable study to the
reading public since the Greek troubles
began and the pronunciation OF the
names OF some OF the officials who are
prominent in Athens at the present
time has been the subject OF contro-
versy. says the New York Tribune.
A man who is well yersed on the
subject said that the modern Greek
popularity was to n great extent the
accentuation and gave as an instance
the name OF Mauromichales, the Greek
secretary Of the interior. The name IL

PLEA FOR THE BIRDS.
Their Destruction IL EndanEerins the
Forests and Orchard


A plea for the birds is being widely
disseminated in the form OF a circular
which contains earnest words from
Mrs. Caroline b. Hoffman. local secre-
tary Of the Massachusetts, Audubon So
ciety. Mrs. Hoffman tells the often
told story of the mother heron which
must be killed when brooding to obtain
the white aigrette which is her decora-
tion at that time. and of the cruelty OF
sacrificing the mother bird and her lit
tie ones for the qualification OF femin-
Inc vanity. The Florida heron, she
says. Is annihilated. She bases her
plea In this circular more particularly
upon the practical grounds of the great
injury to plants and forests By crea-
lures SO useful in destroying inActs.
She says: ALREADY In the southern
lands OF Europe are the forests perish
ing In frightful manner. and not less
are the orchards In danger. for agains;
the Increase Of injurious insects there
10 no remedy when the little birds are
missing. And no land In the wide
world is safe against this horrid de-
struction." Quoting foreign criticism
OF bird decoration. she continues:
How foreign lands think and write
about 1t 4 newspaper from Toxic. ia
pan. will best show. 1t says: 1T il not
enough that the Europeans compress
themselves with steel and whaiebone;
they also demand for adornment our
beautiful and useful birds" She con-
ciudcs; Equally guilty Of this barbar-
Gus custom ts every purchaser OF these
birds. Inartyrs unto death. May these
words meet with the right reception:
may women at length reflect and ac-
knowledge that there is something bet
ter. nobier. more to be desired, than
this foolish style. which is bought with
the blood and life Of creatures fosterod
by the God OF love. May American
women come to the front and be the
hrst to do away with this brutal prae-
tice. Everywhere our orchards, our
fruit trees. are crying out to be deliv-
cred from insect pests. Competent Wit.
nesses testify that all over our country,
within generation. birds have dImin-
iShed In most rapid manner. and the
Injurious insects have made headvay

women AS Interior Decorators.
There is no movement more inter
csting in its development than the
gradual Increase OF disposition on the
part OF educated and refined women to
engage In the work of what is. called
interior decoration. but which is less
imposing and disquietlnG when spoken
Of as home decoration. The mural
treatment and designing OF furniture
for public buildings will properly re-
main In the hands OF really competent
architects of taste. who may with right
calm that nothing shall be added to
their structures which might tend to
interfere with their original conccp-
tion OF the finished effect, but. as It Is
not secret that the decoration and
furnishing OF the most successfully
completed great houses Of recent con-
struction have been absolutely dictated
nnd supervised by the women most in
tercsted. there seems no reason why
the woman decorator has not come to

for displays generally? II that is their
idea they have but poor knowledge
OF their own sex-of themselves, in

and they are just as conspicuous as are
those Of women. A man never seems
to have grown too old or too ugly to
arrogate to himself admiration that a
woman in her palmiest days would
hardly dare claim. That crease in his
trousers weighs so heavily upon his
mind He is never, | can see, perfect
