It was sad, and some thought sadly significant, when the house of repre- sentativeg at Washington refused to appropriate the $5O,OO0 needed. to en- able Liberty to continue to enlghten the world in New York harbor It will cheer those who were saddened by this queer performance to know that Sec retary Root thinks he may be able to keep the torch going with some part of the money annually allotted to him for the maintenance of his department Bedloe's island is military reserva- ton; hence MT. Root believes that he is empowered to take action.
 Success to the Secretary in this mat ter The big statue may not be artistic, but it is big, like New York and the rest of the country. It is no time to put the torch of Liberty out just as we are extending the blessings of liberty to the Cubans, the Porto Ricans, the Ha- waiians, and our little brown brothers in the Philippines. Let it continue to burn as a reminder of the theory on which this country was founded and is supposed to be conducted. It is worth $50,0 900 year as such a reminder

I BUSINESs AGRHEMEN7.

That is an interesting combination which leading merchants in Syracuse, New York. have made. It is not a combination in restraint of trade, ex- cept certain trade that much needs re- straint. and it is combination which bids fair to be good thing for busi- ness in Syracuse. The agreement made aims to accomplish three things: CD To confine their advertising to the cept as individuals, tickets to benefits and the like; (3) to bring about a bet ter discrimination in the matter of dis counts. These subjects have long been under discussion by the merchants of Syracuse, and the action taken is the result of numerous consultations and conferences. In explaining the agree ment one of the leading merchants said: The effect of the agreement is to do away with certain impositons tiihl iltNC bCEll Jl utLlGCu upoll tllt lHcl- chants for years It has come to be well understood that there is no class of advertising that is worth the money it costs excepting in the regular pub lications, such as the daily and weekly newspapers. Taking the second propo- sition, that of benefit tickets, we have long suffered from all sorts of appeals, even at times being threatened with loss of trade unless we purchase for this, that, or the other benefit, dance, raffle, or what not"
 The condition of things which has brought about this combination in Syracuse exists in many and perhaps in most of the cities of this country Per haps the example set by the merchants of Syracuse will find many imitators.

The Connecticut Audubon Society.

Among the factors that make for civ ilization and the humanities must be reckoned the work done by the Audu- bon Society. Many of us have little knowledge of it's present scope and in- fluence. At first the efforts of the soci- ety were largely directed toward sup
 pressing the milliners' traffic in dead
 birds and securing laws to protect the
 lives remaining after years of reckless
 slaughter. There is a change in public
 sentiment regarding feather decora ton.
 The feeling is general and healthy in
 tone against wearing the corpses of
 birds or their discovered members for
 hat trimmings, and feather headed
 women" are now conspicuously few in
 number.
 The society, with eternal vigilance as to the rights of birds already secured, is now free to work on a different plane, and it is fast becoming public educa- tor.
 The Connecticut Audubon Society is in many ways a pioneer in it's work in schools, and other States are making use of methods which have been tested here. Lectures upon the Birds About Our Homes" Birds of Value to the Farmer and one for little children, each illustrated by a stereopticon fur nished by the society. are sent out, on application by MT. Hine of the State Board of Education, to schools, clubs and granges throughout the State, and are in great demand. Libraries of the best bird and outdoor books are sent into schools through the same agency and Audubon charts which picture in colors fifty of our common birds have recently been added. These go, many times, to remote country schools that are far beyond the help of the libraries of cities and towns.
 The interest awakened in this way among children, teachers and people of our remote country districts becomes enthusiasm over the living bird and works q change of heart in the small boy ''To introduce people to the bird in the bush is the way to create aIpub- lie sentiment to keep it there" and this is exactly what the Audubon Society is doing by means of it's libraries, lectures and bird charts. The demand for them is far beyond the present financial abil- ity of the society to meet. It is in need of Sustaining member" s"--those who aid the officers in their work by an an- nual contribution of five dollars-and greatly increased list of members who join for all time by the payment of one dollar. Unfortunately for the societys treasury no annual tax is required from it's members, but they are not de- barred from making contributions This proof of interest would be most erati- flying to the officers. who give money, labor and time freely to this cause. They also work throueh local secreta- ries. who number about thirty through out the State, and who are ready Co pro- mote the objects of the society in every possible way.
 Mrs, Morris F. Tyler 33 College street. one of the officers, will be glad to re- ceive the names of those who are inter- asted to assist the society in it's educa- tional work. Names can also be sent to Mrs. W T. Booth 61 Dwight street, To- ral secretary for New Haven.

BIRDS ON THE FARM.

If the farmers once thoroughly un- derstood the value of wild birds on the tarm-lt they could be made to believe that these unpaid feathered aborers save them scores, and in some cases hundreds of dollars every year-they would not only refrain from using their own guns so freely, but they would stand fast between the pot-hunter and his victims, and treat him just as roughly as if he had come for the pur- pose of stealing the farm poultry. Chicken thieves, when caught are usu- ally severely dtalt with, while pot hunters, if not encouraged are often simply warned off the premises; yet it is safe to say that the total financial loss sustained through the depredations

CECIL RHODhS, WILL.

When Cecil Rhodes was dying he eX- 1 claimed "So much to do, So little done!" But during his life this extra l ordinary man did much, and in making his will he provided that his millions should do much after his death. There is a difference of opinion about the spirit in which he did his great work in South Africa. Some say he had a demon of greed Others say that he loved his country better than all else and sought her good above all else. But there can hardly be any difference of opinion about the spirit in which he made his will. He gives most of his vast wealth to public uses. The United States will be specially interested in that part of it which provides for the establishment of two American schol- arships at Oxford to each of the present states and territories of the United States. Concerning this he says: 'I desire to encourage and foster an ap preciation of the advantages which l implicitly believe will result from q union of the speaking peoples throughout the world and to encourage in the students from the United States who will benefit by these scholarships an attachment to the country from which they have sprung, but without, I hope, withdrawing them or their sym pathies from the land of their adoption or birth" He has also provided for five scholarships for students of Ger man birth, ahd he says: For a good understanding between England, Ger many and the United States will secure the peace of the world and educational relations form the strongest tie"
 If great work for ones country and one's race is proof of greatness MT. Rhodes seems entitled to be called really great in spite of the opinions of those who have seen in him only the spirit of pirate.

The Richmond (Virginia) Dispatch thus describes the suffrage plan now under discussion by the Virginia Con- stitutional Convention: It is not as severely restrictive of the negro vote as many of the representatives of the black belt wished, but, on the other hand, the up-country people yielded some of the views which they held in order that the plan might be as ac- ceptable and effective as they could conscientiously make it. In other words, at some sacrifice of their own opinions they concurred in plan, the chief purpose of which is to promote the interests Of the black belt. in short, and as everybody knows, and as everybody expected it would be, it is "a compromise measure.' That the conditions prevailing in eastern Vir- ginia awakened the deep sympathy of Democrats living in the valley and the southwest, and in other upland coun- ties, there can be no doubt, and they went as far as they felt they conscien- tiously could go in framing this meas ure of relief. So far as the white vot- CTS of the State are concerned, few of
