THE UP TO DATE SONGSTER.
Birds Taught to Marble Bars from
Popular Melodies.

The craze for change seems at last
No longer is a. restless public satisfied
with the sweet strains that nature pro-
vides as the voice of the feathered song
to MARBLE bars from such melodies as
Hiawatha,' "Bedelia'' or other musical
A bird educated thus can be sold for ten
times as much one that merely trills
its own song, SO that dealers are striving
to make their befeathered stock accom-
plished in singing according to the new
idea of what a bird should be able to do.
1t is slow process, but it pays.
One of the first men in the business to
see the advantages of giving his birds a
musical education lives in Philadelphia.
At his training establishment the educa-
ton of feathered songster may be
watched from beginning to completion.
With an ordinary fife or flute the teacher
sits down beside the cages in which the
of the tune that it is desired the birds
should learn. 1t is usual for a girl to be
employed for this work. as she possesses
more patience than man, and the work
is better suited to her temperament. 1t
may be hours before the bird will take the
least. notice of the player The girls must
keep on playing until the little songsters
attention is attracted. Over and over the
few bars of music are repeated with mo-
essary to play the same strain for days
before the birds will show the slightest
interest in the efforts to make them up
to-date warblers. Sooner or later, how
ever, they will awaken to the fact that
some song foreign TO lne1r ears Is De1flS
played near by. AT first a gentle cooking
of the head in the direction of the SOUND
will betray the awakening. Thus encour-
aged, the teacher plays with added en-
ergy.
The patience required for such work
may be imagined when it is known that
even after seeming to take interest in the
flute players attempt to educate them the
birds will frequently lapse into dull in
difference and give no further sign for
a long time There comes moment at
last when the bird seems really to shake
off its apathy and hop nearer to the sound
of the flute. though prompted by quick
ened curiosity. Soon after that it will re-
main still, its senses seemingly concen-
trated on the song. Then it will begin to
sing 1t is time for the teacher to rest
then, and closely watch the birds at
tempt to initiate the notes that have be-
come familiar by such patient repetition,
The chances are that the bird will at first
sound two or three notes correctly and
then stop quite at loss for the rest.
The teacher prompts the little songster
by playing the bar through. The bird
tries once more, and this. time perhaps

WALL sTEET AND THE MERGER.

In discussing the recent merger de-
cision from the Wall street standpoint,
Henry Clews & Co.'S Financial Review
says:
Five of the judges out of nine were
of opinion that the Sherman law for
bids reasonable as well as unreason-
able restraints; but as Judge Brewer
evidently considered the Northern Sc
curities merger an unreasonable re-
straint, he cast his vote adversely,
showing that the verdict of the highest
tribunal upon a most vital point is de-
pendent upon the duration of single
life. 1t is unlikely, however, that any
new legislation viii be attempted this
session of congress-
The decision is further referred to as
follows:
The Northern Securities decision, as
expected, proved adverse to the ner-
ger. and the stock market rallied
Sharply in consequence, partly as
result of the removal of suspense and
partly because of extensive short COW
ering. The decision is one of the most
important issued by the supreme court
of the United States in many years,
and its effects will be very far reacn-
ing. Whether thu court will hereafter
take the same attitude towards an in
dustrial combination not a monopoly
as it has done in The case of a railroad
which is a quaSi-public monopoly re-
mains to be seen. 1t is quite certain
that the decision opens the way for
further litigation, but which for the
present is not likely to follow. The
administration has been successful in
this suit, and seems wisely disposed to
leave the railroads alone. Will it also
leave the induStrialS alone; or will it
be forced to select one of these COM
binations for a test case? And what
will be the course of the political OPP
ponents Of the administration? These
are all questions that we should like to
answer but are unable to. 1t is to be
hoped that good sense and not politics
will prevail, and that the adjustment
of such important issues will not be
attempted when vision and judgment
are warped by the heat of a presiden-
tial campaign. That is not the time
for calm consideration. On the other
hand, the decision is an exceedingly
wholesome one from a public point of
view. Railroad consolidation must now
progress along lawful and more nat
ural lines; and the financial commun-
ity has been spared the tidal wave of
speculation that would have engulfed
the speculative stock operators had the
merger gone through two years ago,
to say nothing of the anti-capital cru
sade that it would have inevitably cre-
ared for the political campaign of 1904
One other result is quite likely to fol-
low this decision. and that is the
amendment of the Sherman antitrust
law. There is a vast difference be-
tween reasonable and unreaSonabl bic
contracts in restraint of trade, and the
present antitrust law will probably
be amended later on so as to give the
courts liberty in deciding what Ie-
straints are reasonable and what are
not

HENRY ALLEN HERE.
Won't Cross Independent Bridge
Till He Reaches 1t.

Henry Allen came to Topeka today to
file the papers setting forth his con-
tent1ons in the contest with Congress-
man Bowersock over the nomination of
the Republican candidate for congress
in the Second district.
Mr.. Allen filed with the secretary of
state several large paper bound budg-
cts of information and affidavits For
a sample, he has devoted to Wyandotte
county bound folios of typewriter
sheets that make a book ten inches
thick. He has the record of all the
proceedings in the calling of the con-
vention and the action of it.
There is nothing for the Wyandotte
rump convention to stand on, said Mr.
Allen. There are the original papers,
the roll call and the original returns
They show that the six boilers who or
ganized the rump did not answer to the
roll call: They were not in the regular
convention
v hen asked about the statement
made by his manager, Grant Hornaday,
that he would make the race for con-
gross en- an Independent ticket if his
nan does not so on the official ballot
Mr. Allen said: THAT is a bridge that
| do not have to cross until 1 come to
it,"
