HATS WITHOUT FEATHERS.

There has been a meeting Of the
American Ornithological Union in
New York, and the members are
setting the excellent example of
wearing hats without feathers. To
those who have observed the out
put in the milliner's shops this
seasons it will seem that these
ladies must have exercised con-
siderable ingenuity in order to
supply the place of feathers with
some other trimmings, for most Of
the hats shown are certainly made
up in the main of velvet and
feathers. However, those who
look for q thing can generally find
1t by looking long enough, and 1t
Is not observed that any of the
ladies who belong to the society in
question have made themselves
conspicuous on the street by IN
fashionable garb.
1t may be noticed, nevertheless,
that the trimming Of hats with
feathers has changed in one
material respect; there is no longer
such quantity of dead birds seen,
and the osprey aigrettes which were
fashionable some years ago are not
so common as they used to be.
This change is undoubtedly due in
part to the fact that so much has
been said about the killing of
innocent birds for purposes of
decoration that the average woman
feels, without knowing exactly why,
that such decorations have an un-
pleasant association. Some of the
feather trimmings of the present
season is obviously made from the
feathers of birds which are used
for food, and it is Just as pretty as
II 1t were made of some other kind
of bird.
AS matter of fact the time is
slowly coming around when feathers
on hats will be replaced by some
other kind of trimming. The
various natural history societies
are making it more and more diff
cult to secure the birds, and this
in itself is more than likely to
cause change in the fashion, for
the majority of women cannot
afford costly luxuries in this line.

MRS. LIYERMORE ON SCHOOL
SUFFRAGE.

Mrs. Mary a. Livermore said in
a recent address
"Some women think the school
BALLOT is too small a fraction of
the right of suffrage to be worth
using. My husband said he always
felt indignant when l came out of
that booth, after being allowed to
vote for school officers only, and
he advised me to wait till l could
vote the whole ticket. l asked,
lis that the way you would do if a
man owed you $40, 900 and offered
you $500, wouldn't you take what
you could get, and then work for
more p oh. yes, he said. you
have the logic of it, but / have the
sentiment
at is certainly the duty OF
women, mothers and possible
mothers, to stand by the public
schools. You want to know who
are the teachers, and who are the
school committee. You want to
see that the children are taught
kindness, cleanliness and courtesy.
School suffrage is a moral measure,
and no women should hold herself
excused from voting"
In Omaha, at the recent election,
5000 women cast their ballots for
school officers. Nearly 10000
women voted for the school board
in Boston last year, and the re-
gistration Of women for the coming
school election in that city shows
a large increase. There seems to
be a growing appreciation among
women Of the fact that they can do
good to the schools BY their votes.

An example of the extravagant
methods of the present adminis,ra-
ton is shown by the present re-
organization by Secretary Of the
Interior, Hitchcock, of his division
OF forestry, and the appointment
at its head of Professor Filibert
Roth. a former subordinate of Mr..
Clifford Pinchot, Chief of the
Bureau Of Forestry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The Bureau
OF Forestry was already in exist
ence, thoroughly equipped and
conducted by an eminently COM
petent chief. 1t had already done
large amount of preliminary work
on the fifty million acres of foresty
reserves which will be the chief
care of Secretary Hitchcock's
division, and was more cabable of
properly conducting the work than
the Interior division can hope to be
for years. Every consideration of
economy favored the transfer of
the vast area of forest reserve to
the care of the Bureau of Forestry.
An effort was made to accomplish
this end during the last Congress,
but was defeated by the Republi-
can specimen because the Bureau
of Forestry was conducted under
the civil service classification and
the division of forestry has the
disposition of "lump fund" of
5000, 900 which is distributed
entirely on the lines of patronage
to about FIVE hundred appointees.
I tt
Ii is common report in Wash
ington that the gravest abuses ex.
list in the alleged care of our forest
reserves and some of Secretary
Hitchcock's recent orders give
evidence that he is acquainted with
their existence. The fact that
90, 200, 900 board feet Of lumber
and $1,000 cords of wood were
sold last year for a total of $40, 900.
which means that the government
received about 81 per thousand
board feet for lumber and about IL
cents per cord for fire wood, is in
itself indicative of condition
which requires correction.
III
Professor Roth is an earnest and
capable man, bnt restricted as he
will be in his new position by the
red tape of the Land Office and
the spoils system which governs
his subordinates it is not TO be
anticipated that he will be able to
materially remedy existing con-
dltions.
/ / /
The meekness with which Sec
rotary of the Treasury Gage re-
ceives the continued snubs of the
President and his absolute refusal
to understand that his resignation
would be more appreciated than
his presence in the Cabinet is a
source of amazement and NORTH
cation to his friends. When the
President recently appointed Sena-
tor Stranahan to the Collectorship
of New York, the first intimation
that Mr.. Gage received was on a
card which Mr.. Stranahan brought
him, saying that he hsd been
appointed.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Senator Vest en- the Coming Session
Of Congress.
The Reckless Administration OF The
Interior Department.
From our regular correspondent.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 40, 1901 -
SENATOR, what will be the Demo.
cratic policy in the fifty-seventh
Congress | asked Senator Vest,
OF Missouri, in his comfortable
home on p ST., yesterday. watch
and wait" was the reply. "What
else can we do1 The Republicans
have a majority of two to one In
the Senate and large majority in
the House. No, the Democrats
will not attempt any obstruction
methods. The people have sent a
large Republican majority to Con-
gress, they have the privilege, and
the responsibility of sending whom
they please to represent them and
1t is only right that we should abide
with the results"
TIT
"Will the people be pleased with
the results ? "That remains TO be
seen. Everyone knows that the
Republicans high tariff policy has
built up the trusts and that those
trusts are selling the same goods to
foreign consumers for from twenty
five to forty per cent less than to
the American consumers; but if the
people enjoy it, it is their privilege
to perpetuate this condition of
affairs. OF course, the weak spot
in the Republican armor is the
trusts. Mr.. Roosevelt, who is
more fearless and more honest than
his party, appreciates this and he
would like to curtail their previ-
leges and curb their rapacity but,
mark my word, there will be no
change in the tariff schedules and
no reciprocity treaties ratified.
The manufacturers and the large
capitalists who control the Repub-
lican party will not permit it.
Sooner or later the people will
realize the injustice that is being
done to them, and when they do,
there will be a revulsion of feeling.
Until then, the Democrats have
nothing TO do but to watch and
wait"
GLOW would you prevent the
trusts, Senator" "Simply by re-
moving the conditions that have
produced them. The trusts are the
natural product of artificial con-
ditions. The obstruction of COM
petition by high protection has
resulted i'll trusts. Restore COM
potion, and the trusts will fall.
They tell us England has trusts.
1t is not so. Mr.. w. l.. Wilson
went 10 England and made a care
full investigation and he assured me
they have no trusts. The paper
manufacturers once organized one
aad put up prices, but the news
papers promptly placed their orders
with French and American manu-
facturers and the trusts fell to
pieces. When the American trusts
charge exorbitant prices the con-
sumner cannot buy elsewhere because
of the tariff, and the trusts know il
and naturally they use their power
ful influence to perpetuate the
party that makes their existence
possible"
