once there was an Easter bonnet.
With some wings and feathers on II,
And d tiny, shiny buckle on bit OF
ribbon shirred.
Said the ladies' Please inform US
Why Its bill is SO enormous.
And that foolish little Faster bonnet
thought it was a bird
II slyly watched its chances,
And, escaping peoples chances,
Id flew straight out the wondoW and
LIGHTED on tree.
With fear its wings were quaking
And it's little frame was shaking,
But It sat there sruiling bravely, though
twas frightened as could be-
Said the birds. You're. of our feather.
Come let us flock together.
But the bonnet answered proudly, IN
exclusive and select;
And although l could be pleasant
TO an ostrich or a pheasant.
For me to herd with common BIRDS you
really can't expect.
Said q hunter: This is pretty,
/ will take 1t home to Kitty
Then he aimed his gun and shot 1t and
II fell without word
Then 1t gave final fiutter,
And pertly seemed TO mutter,
well, after all Id rather be bonner
than a Bird. Lille.

Notwithstanding the presence of
ideal spring weather, with little touch
of the torridity of midsummer, there
were large number of social enter
tainments than are usually crowded
into any one week at this season of the
year. The most notable affair was the
reception and ball given by the Knights
of St. George, but there were innumera-
BILE smaller and less pretentious enter
tainments, the whole combining to
form a charming week. The vacation
period is approaching, and one of the
shadows which it casts before it, is the
necessity for preparing the wardrobe
for the summer sojourn at the pleasure
resorts. Within a few weeks. society
will be departing, and houses will be
closed for the season.

Species of Padrone System in Force
Among Italians.
IMMIGRANTS Seem TO LIKE IT
Testimony of Commissioner Ed
ward McSweeney
MORMON WOMEN COMING IN

NEW YORK, July 25.-The hearing of the
subcommittee of the United States indus
trial commission which is inquirlng into
the working of the immigration laws at
this port was resumed today. The ex-
animation of Assistant Commissioner Of
immigration Edward +. McSweeney was
resumed.
Chairman Ellison A. Smythe questioned
the witness regarding the existence of the
padrone system in this country.
'If by the paorone system" said Mr.. Nc
Sweeney, ''is meant that immigrants are
controlled by certain bankers after they
come here; that the commissariat is reg
ulated by these men; that the money of the
immigrant is sent back 20 Italy by these
bankers--if that is what we consider the
padrone system, it still exists. the system
reputed to have obtained years ago whereby
the bankers induced these men TO come
here l do not think any longer exists, be-
cause there is no need for it. They how
come of their own accord. Before they
come they know that by going to certain
preston is that the Italian immigrants pre-
fer to be under the control Of the padrone."
Former Traffic in Laborers.
What other races. besides the Italians
and orientals, are held in industrial bond
age?" asked the chairman.
There was a species of labor selling
prevalent in New York for a long time, but
believe It was suppressed under Commits
sioners Senner and Fitchie There were
Austrian girls who were taken into families
and kept there at nominal wages for
years"
Mr.. McSweeney said that while the girls
were not brought here for Immoral pur-
poses, many of them became outcasts ow-
ing to their harsh treatment. He said that
according to the police many such girls
were living in New York.
The assistant commissioner said that
during the Spanish-American war the Ital-
ian cabinet had issued a circular saying
structed the projects Of police to curtail as
much as possible the granting of pass
ports to prospective emigrants.
Mormon Women Immigrants.
Mr.. McSweeney was questioned at length
iE regard TO Mormon immigration. He said
that probably % per cent of the new ar
rivals were women. They all come over in
charge of elder. They all claim to be
Latter Day Saints, and declare with
great deal of force that they intend TO
obey the laws of the United States.
Regarding the exclusion Of immigrants.
ne said that of the L. per cent Of the new
arrivals, 25.000 persons, examined by
the special board OF inquiry 10 per cent
were excluded.
MIR. McSweeney made n long statement
regarding a complaint that Hebrews were
not properly classified. lie said the great
thing was to classify the immigrants indus
trially, and that asking their religion was
a means to that end.

PROGRESS OF ENLISTMENT.
A Decided Increase in the Daily Re-
cruiting Now Looked For.

erals office, reports that the total enroll
ment of recruits for the volunteer army

Up to yesterday recruiting confined to
the regular army recruiting statDns.
Yesterday the volunteer recruiting Off
GERS began their operations in territory
that has heretofore been practically ne
elected by the regular recruiting officers,
and 1t is expected that there, will be de-
cided increase in the daily recruitment
from now on, until the desired quota is Sc
cured. The officials of the War Depart
ment are more than ever encouraged to
believe that the entire volunteer army of
ten regiments in this country will be or
ganized and equipped by the middle of next
