There are some women born conspic.
uous. Their complexion il so dazzling,
their eyes 80 bright, their walk so buoy
ant, that wherever they go they attract
attention. There Is a story told by one
who saw 1t Of girl whose skin was
SO lovely that when she went out she
was positively mobbed. Crowds fol-
lowed her to get glimpse of her radi-
ant face. Unfortunately such cases are
rare, but there are cases every day
where a girl or woman gets more than
her fair share Of attention by some
quality Of conspicuousness. Let such
a woman wear anything at all out of
the ordinary and people at once call
her theatrical" The only thing for
. naturally conspicuous woman to do
II she does not wish to have the odious
word theatrical tackled on to her by
all her friends Is to wear the Cuietest
OF clothes and the least noticeable Of
colors.-Philadelphia Press.

third day would come the dedication
of the memorials, including the Hudson
Memorial bridge from Inwood to Spuy-
ten Duyvil hill. The committee also
urges that the city connect the propos-
ed viaduct over Dyckman street so that
it will join the southern end Of Inwood
hill and Washington heights.
The city Of New York Is asked to
take seventy-five acres of the northern
part Of Inwood hill for a public park,
to be preserved in its present wooded
condition. A municipal museum or q
group Of statuary, it is suggested, could
be erected on part of this land. The
proposed state park at Verplanck's
point would require twenty acres. This
would be directly opposite the state
reservation Of thirty four acres on the
Stony Point battlefield

gested for the celebration because the

RETURN OF WILD PIGEONS.

John view Of FIocks Re-
ported Seen In sullivan County.
John Burroughs, the author-natural-
list, has returned to West Park from a
trip to Sullivan county, N. Y, where
he passed some time Investigating re-
ports that wild pigeons had been seen
recently In that locality, says POUCH
keepsie dispatch to the New York Sun.
Mr. Burroughs was in Poughkeepsie
recently. He said:'
81 have seen the men who saw the
birds and have every reason to believe
that they are telling the truth. Some of
them knew the passenger pigeon in the
old days, and it is not likely that all
have been mistaken in the identity Of
the birds seen lately"
Thirty or forty years ago immense
focks Of wild pigeons frequented the
Hudson river valley. They disappeared
suddenly. and it was supposed that
they had been exterminated by ruth
less slaughter. The sequence of events
indicates, however, that they were
driven away and sought new feeding
and resting grounds in other parts of
the globe. perhaps in the southern part
Of South America.
Recently focks of considerable size
have been reported in Sullivan county,
and two focks have been seen along
the Hudson. one a few days ago by

Political Predictions
NV New York Papers.

! The New York Sun and the New
York World have engaged in a pre-
dieting contest which has had the ef
fect of stirring up something of
controversy, even il the predictions
are worth nothing. The Sun a few
days ago cut loose the following, OF
words to the same effect:
'~The next governor Of the state Of
New York will be a Democrat.
1.-The next governor Of the state OF
New York will be the next president
Di the United States"
The New York Worlds private cleo
!stion forecaster. after duly considering
1.-THE above, took issue with The Sur
sRrd ground out the prediction:
mo Democrat will be elected gov
lernor of New York state this year.
"The next president of the United
3 States will not be Democrat
AS there Is only one democratic can
hidate for the governorship of New
York state, William R. Hearst, the
only conclusion that can be reached
considering the Suns prediction, is
that it believes that Hearst will be
the next governor of the Empire
state. AS to the Worlds prediction,
1t appears to have been dictated by
q desire to be in opposition to the
Sun and stir up a controversy. The
prediction that William r. Hearst
will be the next governor of New
York may be fulfilled, and it is
among the remote possibilities that
he may be the next president, bu,
the contesting papers seem to have
entirely lost sight Of the fact that Will

tial possibility now before the coun
try and that his nomination by the
Democrats in 1908 is practically a

Ehaw's Scheme for Floating
Panama Canal Bonds.

Secretary Shaw. of the treasury de-
partment, has inaugurated a new
scheme for floating the 100000. 900
bond issue authorized for the purpose
of prosecuting work upon the Panama
Canal, by which no man or combina.
kion Of men can secure control of
them. The following statement, in
this connection is authorized by the
department:
A large number of banks have asked
10 be designated repositories of pub
Tic money. To these the secretary
, has made the universal offer to leave
with the bank one-third Of the pro-
ceeds OF any Panama Canal bonds il
/ may buy under bids direct from the
government, taking purchased bonds
at par as security therefor. These
offers have been On the main to small
banks. He now makes the offer gen
eral, but limits the amount of such
deposits to any one bank to $4,000
900.
The secretary calls attention to the
circular invitation for bids wherein
, the government reserves the right to
permit bidders offering the highest
prices to increase the amount Of their
purchases. This reservation, the sec
Rotary says. was made to avoid the
possibility of combination between
bidders and 1t will not be exercised to
the prejudice OF any one who has
bid above 1031s.
Under this arrangement small banks
which desire to be designated United
States repositories may bid upon any
amount of bonds they may wish and
will, If the bid is accepted, be desig-
mated United States repositories for
one-third OF the purchase price, upon
depositfng bonds at par with the de-
partment as security. Any person
may bid for the bonds and the man
who bids for one has the same oppor-
tunity of securing 1t as the man who
bids for million dollars worth. In
other words. il an individual should
bid 104ia for one $1,000 bond and a
syndicate should bid 104A for one
million dollars worth, the bid Of the
small investor would receive consider
alton before that of the syndicate.
Another feature of the plan of sec
cretary Shaw Is the provision that
bidders Offering the highest prices
for the bonds may increase the
amount of their purchases after the
bids are opened IL they so desire. BY
this arrangement bank or individual
Kidding for a small amount of bonds
may, II the bid is accepted, take any
additional amount desired at the same
lure.

PERIL IN GREAT FORTUNES
Amherst Professor Declares %, O0O,O 900
Income beyond Healthy Limit"

Amherst Professor Declares %, O0O, 900
Income Beyond Healthy Limit"
In an address before the American
Associa ton For the Advancement Of
Science while in session at Ithaca, N.
T., Professor James Walter Crook Of
Amherst college recently took issue
with President Roosevelt on the ques-
ton Of the limitation Of great fortunes.
says the New York Herald.
He pointed out the impossibility of
individuals handling great fortunes
and then sought to show that the meas
ures proposed to limit great fortunes
had grave objections. He said incpart:
Fortunes may be considered as
swollen beyond healthy limits which
yield from 100000 to $4,000, 900
year. Let US consider the possibilities
Of handling such incomes. The wealthy
man who feels that he must pass the
bulk Of his wealth to heirs has a task
that has invited originality in arrange
ment A wealthy father puts his sons
wealth in trust till his thiry-second
birthday, allowing him small sum of
$4,000 a year. An indulgent mother
raises his income to $50, 900 year. He
Is now ruined man.
'The three methods Of relief some
times proposed are: An arbitrary limit
to the amount an individual may ac-
cumulate; progressive taxation Of in
comes and progressive inheritance
taxes. Where should the limit be
drawn? The limitation is repressive
and Is meant to be so. It would put
premium upon relative ineficiency and
deprive society Of the advantage Of
beneficial enterprises. A progressive
tax on incomes high enough to accom-
plish the purpose aimed at has the
same disadvantages. There Is left the
progressive tax on Inheritance. As
tax measure aiming at revenue / ap.
prove Of 1t. It is easily collected. As
measure to limit fortunes, however,
It seems to me more doubtful. To ac-
complish the purpose the rate must be
very high.
"A tax heavy enough would involve
problem OF administration. Even SO
low q rate as 80 per cent would mean
tax Of $15,0OO.00O for every estate Of
$5O,OO0.O00, and there are now many
fortunes Of that size, and in the case
Of some well known fortunes the tax
would amount to upward of $4S,OO0,-
oOO. The greatest objection is the en-
enlargement which the heavy taxation
OF the wealthy will give to extravagant
public expenditures Our federal finan-
cial machinery is SO organized and our
sources Of revenue are SO arranged
that it is well nigh impossible to check
extravagance. Greater financial respon-
sibility Is one Of the first requirements
OF good government. It is a maxim of
public finance that those who spend
must be held to account by those who
pay. By this plan the maxim is re-
versed, for by 1t those who pay are
held to account by those who spend"
