The habit Of using the heads, wings
and breasts Of birds for millinery pur.
poses has always been the most dis.
couraging condition with which the
lovers Of birds have had to contend. In
the hope that an objectlesson might do
something to discourage this practice,
the Massachusetts Audubon Society re-
Gently gave a that show" at which
prizes were awarded for the most at
tractive hats and bonnets trimmed
without the use of other feathers than
those of the ostrich and domestic fowl
Many of the best-known society women
of Boston gave the exhibition the sane
ton Of their presence and their patron
age, and all the prominent milliners Of
the city sent the most attractive crea,
tons their designers could produce
within the stipulated conditions. The
hats were divided into classes, and
prizes were bestowed on those in which
artistic results had been achieved at
small expense, as we'll as upon those In
which nothing but the most attractive
effect had been considered. No thought
full person who saw the beautiful color
combinations, the artistic arrangement
Of ribbon and flowers and lace, could
help feeling that here was enough to
satisfy any real love Of the beautiful,
or any reasonable devotion to fashion;
and that the mental attitude which
found these results unsatisfactory and
demanded the lives of the birds to graft
fy it's vanity, was derogatory to true
womanhood. There Is a story Of a
Sunday-school teacher who remonstrat-
ed with one Of the boys in her class
whom she had discovered in the act Of
taking the eggs from a birds nest.
'Think how the poor mother-bird will
feelv she said. "Huh!' replied the
boy. you've got the mother-bird on
your hat! l guess she won't feel very
bad" The moral of the story need not
be pointed out.

STATE CONVENTION
 WILL " ILL BE BE CALLED CALLED
Georgians Will Discuss Frequent
 Lynchings of Negroes.
PURPOSE OF CONFERENCE
Is to Suggest Changes in Laws Which Will Make Possible a Speedy In dictment and Trial of
 the Culprit

Atlanta, Ga, May LA state convention, which shall have for it's mission the dis cusion of rape and lynching and whose object shall be to find a remedy for ex- isting conditions, will probably be called to meet in Atlanta as soon as delegates can be selected from the various counties of the state. This movement at first only coming as suggestion, has found sufficient backing and sentiment to cause it to as- sume the proportions necessary for it's suc- cess, and it Is said there is no doubt but that the convention will be held and every county in the state represented
 The convention will not meet for the pur- pose of condonng the crime, or censuring' the work of outraged citizens who dealt out summary punishment to the assailant. but its purpose will be to suggest such changes in the present law as to make it possible for indictment, trial and execution of the guilty to follow in such rapid sue, cession the execution of the crime as to make it impossible for any delay to swell the indignation of the people to a point of frenzy
 Judge George Hilyer, prominent law yer and large owner, is taking an active part in the matter. He will probably ask Governor Candler to call such a conference in a few days. The date of the convention has not been made.

 His lordship also expressed the hope that the good feeling would extend to the peo- pies of the two nations. This agreement, he said, was valuable as preventing the pos sibiity of a collision between the two gov ernments in China land therefore," he said, Ia guarantee of their future agree ment for long time to come.

To prepare the public for this demonstration the women taking the ini- tiative are recommended to invite the pas tors of all churches to preach sermons on the czar's conference on Sunday May A.

FEELING OF RELIEF
Washington Officials Satisfied With the
 Outlook of Our Trade in China

Washington, May Lord Salisbury s speech last evening in reference to the agreement reached by Great Britain and Russia regarding China was read with great interest here.
 The prevailing sentiment Is one of relief that by this agreement has been removed an element that threatened to involve in hostilities two great nations with which the United States was desirous of living on the most friendly terms. There is some curiosity to know just how the commercial interests of the United States are likely to be affected by this important arrange ment. It may be stated that the highest official authority here does not accept the views set out in one of the British news papers that the United States has lost it's chance in China that the door is to be shut against us, and that we have deserved this exclusion by failing to substantially assist England in securing the open door policy as to all China.
 It Is said that so far as the English sphere in China was concerned, the United States will have free entry commercially. while assurances have been secured from Russia that United States commerce will be treated on terms of equality with Rus sian commerce in any portion of China that may come under her influence.
