Features of the Report From the
Mercy Department of the Union.
One Of the many organized departments
within the National W. c. T. U. Is that OF
Mercy" According to the report Of Mrs.
Mary F. Lowell. Of Pennsylvania. national SUI
perintendent Of this branch OF work, the de-
partment was organized eight years ago and
has made good progress. 1t was her report
before the convention which precipit ated the
rather amusing discussion on ostrich feathers
The work consists in organizing bands Of
mercy and arousing the sensibilitles OF women
TO revolt against the slaughter of birds for
decorative purposes.
The report which Mrs. Lowell made lest
Tuesday contained much encouragement for
humane workers, notably the announcement
that there existed eS3 bands OF mercy. repre-
sentIns a membership of 4s,5ss. I'm eleven

developing sentiment toward compulsory hui
name education and legislation against Yiyi-
section. In Colorado nearly all teachers In
public schools, and all where the department
OF mercy has been adopted, have abandoned
the use Of birds. wings and aigrettes. At
the request OF the state superintendent Of the
department the United States bureau OF agrl-
culture sent the Bird Bulletin" and Bird
Day In the Public Schools to every county

Another matter OF particular interest In
Mrs. Lowell's report was the statement that
teachers in Missouri say that there is

mercy. The sensibilities of the pupils are
awakened and their mental condition general

The work for the coming year will be car

here remarked that this department of the

furthered by many who do not sanction the
| general methods OF the national organization.
Without mentioning the numerous state
conventions and federation meetings which
have been taking place ali over the country
for the last few months this year. has been
remarkable FOR national conventions. owing
to the fact that the organizations whose con-
situations call for national gatherings once In
two or three years, were holding their con-
vertions as well as those associations who
convene annually. The result was q national
council OF the d. A r., q Congress of
Mothers. national biennial convention Of
federated clubs, and the trlennIal executive
session OF the national council Of women But
convention time Is about over for this year
and now the local organizations will continue
their individual efforts.

No Hitch In Negotiations.

The dispatches from abroad during
the past few days have led to the belief
In some quarters that there Is likely
to be hitch IN the peace negotiations
between Spain and the United States
now pending in Paris. 1t is not at all
likely that any break viii occur neces-
stating the resumption OF hostilities.
The London papers, judging from the
extracts which are oabled here, evil
IDENTIFY measure all dlscordant reports
at their real value. 1t should be borne
In mind that Spain has passed through
a terrible ordeal. and that the existing
dynasty has had great difficulty in
maintaining itself in control OF the
government A too hasty surrender of
points involved in the creation of a
treaty might very easily precipitate
riot and even an attempt to overthrow
the government. The peace commits
sion has stood firmly upon the provis-
ions Of the protocol. There has been
no retrograde movement. The per-
slstency with which they have stood
their ground has been characteristic
OF the American people so far as the
! spirit OF pluck Is concerned. AS to the
with the surrender Of the Philippines
! II can only be remarked, In passing,
that the question of right and wrong
in this particular Is one which will be
determined by the people at some later
day, when a more thorough compre-
hension OF the situation prevails thnn
is at present the case.
Meanwhile. the sentiment against
any introduction OF so hybred a popu-
lation as that contained in the archa-
| pelago is paramount. II the vote OF
/ the people could be taken upon this
4 distinct issue II would undoubtedly pre-
vail in opposition to the annexation OF
the islands.
! 1t is clearly the purpose OF Spain to
remove her troops from Cuba and Por-
/ TO Rico as rapidly as transportation
can be secured. The extension OF time
10 the 1st Of January was reasonable
on the part OF the executive. and by
that date undoubtedly the negotla-
| lions in Paris will have been termi-
! mated in a treaty including the fate OF
! the Philippines. II Is perfectly clear

is in the direction OF retention OF the

Commercial Education.

The 6 o e a few weeks ago called
attention TO the Importance OF more
thorough education OF the young on
commercial subjects. The Times-Her-
aid OF Chicago yesterday stated that
the educational commission appointed
by Mayor Harrison TO make recon-
mendations for adding to the efficiency
of the Chicago public school system
will embody in their report some views
looking 10 the establishment OF COM
merciai school to be supported out Of
the school fund OF that city.
This is an advancement in the line
OF education IN the right direction
There is. however. one objection TO the
adoption OF a commercial course in
what we may style the grammar school

attend these schools are already en-
numbered with diversified system of
education which taxes them 10 the ut

10 the proceedings of this notable gathering.
Perhaps the thing most remarked upon by
men who were present during the bitter de-

herence to parliamentary rules shown by the
oebaters.

had sat through the whole siX-hour fight, II

supper of corn meal and cut hay that
night. Next morning the cows gave no
milk and Mr.. Dillatush was loud in
his denunciation of the miscreants who
had MIXED the COWS before he could do
so.
The COWS were turned into the lot,
where their actions soon attracted the
attention of their owner. They stag
geTed about the pasture, walking stiff
legged, now and then leaning against
the fence in much the same way that
a man who Is intoxicated Will do. At
intervals they beloved mournfully and
attempted TO run and kick UP their
heels. These attempts. however, re-
suited disaStrously, as the animals
would trip and fall Mr.. DIllatush
made an examination and soon found
that he had a couple of very drunken
COWS. The news spread and all day
Thursday there were visitors 10 see the
COWS on a spree. The animals kept
up their curious conduct all day long,
but had apparently become sober Fri
