InL BIRD ON III TAI

spttc of all, thth decoration ta more worn ,han ever. Hut this may bc doubted. Al any rate, any woman who chooses, and many do choose, to wear hat unadOrncd with the de funct body of bird, can do SO nova. days without appearing either singular or Addressed.
 The hope of the Audubon Society and of various other organizations for the protection of birds, is that the time may come when n hat trimmed with piumagc will be as curious an object as the feather crown of an Ashanti chief. One thing is certain, if fashion ever does take decided turn in this direction it is unlikely that the old barbarous custom will ever come back. It is so essentially ugly and unpleas. ant in its suggestiveness that it need only go out of style for d few years to be abhorred in its struc light. But there tanned human skin from the dissecting room happened to be the fashion, would wear them without more com junction than an Iroquois warrier felt in putting on his necklace of cutoff human fingers.
 The custom of decorating women's hats with the plumage of birds is prob. ably as old as headgcar itself. and may have arisen in part from the notion common to many savage tribes that the qualities of an animal slain become the property of the slayer. Moreover, before the invention of veivets, gauge and lace, the feathers of birds were among the most beautiful tn ngs avail able for the adornment of the human head. Tradition is partly responsible for the persistence of the custom in these later days.
 But there is nothing pretty in its later developments, however appro- priate the wings or body of bird might have seemed to the head of the hunters wife. The modern hat is con- structed to fit the modern face, and there is no beauty in the juxtaposition of fair, intelligent, essentially civil ized countenance and the body of d d blackbird with its neck in d sugges- tive twist. Ii hints at ugly possibili- ties existing underneath the charm and grace of the wearcr. As for the face that is not charming, or intelligent, or kind, the bodies of two or three hum- ming birds or the head of an owl, spearcd with hatpin and surrounded with bows of ribbon, lend to such a visage an aspect perfectly sinister.
 It would be unjust, of course, to as sume that there is real cruelty under all this passive obedience to the dic- tates of fashion. But since hats and bonnets quite as becoming and pretty can be evolved without the bird decor ation as can be devised with it, it does seem that women of sense and feeling might be contented without the outra- geous demand of of a yearly sacrifice of bird life to adorn their heads. There was much sense in the retort of the little boy, who, when reproved by his pretty Sunday-school teacher for robbing birds nests, and asked, in pathetic tones, where the mother was, replied, "She ain't sufferin' none, miss she's on yer hat" There is no ex-

TO answer GARNISHAENTS.
Banks Must Tell The Exact State
Of Deposits.
JUDGES HAD SIMILAR CASES.

Topeka, Dec. 1o.-The supreme court
to bankers The decision was render
ed in the case of the Rock Island Lum-
ber Company against the Fourth
National bank of Wichita. The com
pany garnisheed the bank for claim
which man named Joselyn owed it.
The bank replied that Joselyn had no
money on deposit 1t was proven later
that he did have, but that it was de-
posted in the name of Joselyn as
president of the police board. The
president of the police board had no
right to the possession of police funds,
and the lumber company contended
that it was simply a way he had of
elnding it; that the money really be-
longed to him and was subject to
gaTnishment. Banks, as q rule, deny
liability in order to protect their de-
positors- In this case the supreme
court took special occasion to lay down
new rule for banks to follow. 1t is
that, when a garnishment is run, the
bank must make full reply showing
what the depositor has on deposit,
whether it is deposited in his name or
as trustee In fact, the bank must tell
under oath the exact status of the de-
posit.
The length to which the court went
in this decision is due to some expert
ence the judges themselves had in
litigation of that kind when they were
practicing law. 1t developed in the
discussion of the case that nearly all of
the judges at some time or other had
had trouble in finding out from the
banks the status of the accounts of
itigants, and in order to stop such
practice the court went a step further
than it really was called upon to do.
Justice Pollock wrote the opinion.

CANAL TREATY REPORTED.
Two Senators Find Fault But
Voted For 1t.
ARTICLE 8 OF OLD TREATY.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The SENATE
committee on foreign relations voted to
report favorably the new Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty providing for the construc-
ton of an Isthmian canal
The committee went over in deta4
the provisions of the convention. No
votes were cast against it, but it was
criticised very sharply by Senators
Money and Bacon, who found in it
many of the objections which they
urged against the old treaty. The con-
tention was made that the effect of the
treaty as sent to the senate would be
to deprive the United States of control
Of the canal in case of war. Especial
ten ton was called TO the provision
N the preamble of the pending treaty
reserving article of the CIayton-Bu
wer treaty from the repeal provision of
the new treaty. The portion of this
article of the old treaty to which
especial objection was made reads as
follows:
In granting, however, their joint
protection to any such canals or rail-
ways as are by this article specified, it
is always understood by the United
States and Great Britain that the par
ties constructing or owning the same
shall impose no other charges or condi-
tions of traffic thereupon than the
aforesaid governments shall approve of
as just and equitable; and that che
same canals or railways, being oper to
the citizens and subjects of the o. s.
and Great Britain on equal terms,
shall also be open on like terms to the
citizens and subjects of every other
state which is willing to grant thereto
such protection as the United States

SENATORS ON ANARCHY.
McConas And Hoar Mention Plans to
Control IL.

Control tt.
Washington, Dec. 7-Senator Nc.
Comas (Md.) made an extended and,
carefully prepared speech in the senate
with Anarchy for his theme and was
Hoar CMass.) on the difficulties in the
way of dealing with Anarchist assas-
sins. Mr.. McComas spoke of the dan
gerous spread of Anarchy. President
Carnot, Prime Minister Canovas, the
Empress of Austria, King Humbert and
President Mckinley having been foully
assassinated by Anarchists within the
last seven years. It was humiliating
he said, to consider the impotency Of
our Federal laws to punish this fearful:
crime He argued that international
comfy called for action on our part to
suppress the origin of plots in this
country against foreign rulers Mr..
throughout his remarks
Senator Hoar (Mass-) said the great
difficulty in all these cases of assassina-
ton was that the assassin was willing
and anxious to give up his life. Fear
of consequences did not in any way
deter such an assassin. Every assassin
of a foreign ruler had expected early
and certain death. The Senator be-
heved that a much more effective
remedy could be secured if by common
consent of all civilized nations some
tract of land somewhere on the earth's
surface, hemmed in from the outer
world, could be set aside for the con-
fnement of those who counseled the
killing of rulers or the overthrow OF
