THE BIRDS BATH.
An interesting Study in the Peculiar
Notions Of the Little Songsters.

Some few years ago, during the hot
summer weather, I put a tin out on
my lawn for the wild birds to battle
in, writes a correspondent of Country
Life. The tin was a triangular one,
about 11a inches deep, the sides being
20 inches. The birds were duly thank
full, and. used it necessarily all through
the years. winter as we'll as summer.
In course of time it rusted through
and leaked badly, whereupon I had a
new one made, circular, two feet six
inches in diameter and ~ inches
deep, and I took away the old, wor1l-
out triangular tin. Not a bird would
go near the new bath. I tried every.

rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tons. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his elec-
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that "life insurance is more
than private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as trust"
He. also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. Il understand" he says,
'your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur-
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to ad-
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
ing details to which it is impossible
for you to give personal attention. My
long connection with the New York
Life-covering nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch OF
the company's working organization,
gives me, as I believe, a profound ap-
probation, not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my shout
ders, but of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders in
this high Office"
Best of all, perhaps, he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short of
performance. my thanks, therefore"
he continues, "for an honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition, cannot be exp1 essed
in words; they must be read out of
the record make dav by day."

lng helpless, sleeping people. Il
only remains to prove that Major
Penrose was guilty of neglect Of
duty TO the prejudice of good order
and military discipline. " So far
as THR HERALD has observed, the
prosecution has made no effort to
sustain this charge, the sole effort
seeming to be towards establishing
the fact of the negro soldiers
gu7t. The only witness who
could give direct evidence to show
that the officers at Fort Brown
knew beforehand that such a thing
was likely to occur was not even
7YI1t ON the stand in the Penrose
case, but was excused and has re-
furued to Brownsville. Other
witnesses who could have sworn to
open breaches of discipline by the
soldiers in the presence of their
superior officers both before and
after the outrage have been on the
stand and were not even questioned
an this point. In fact, the trend of
events in this trial seems more and
more to indicate one of two things:
Either Captain Hay, who is the
Judge advocate. is a poor lawyer
and no match for Colonel Glenn,
Major Penrose's counsel, or else
the whole court-martial is merely a
farce, with evident ultimate inten-
ton of white washing the officer
Szs4b0Sed to be on trial.
IF ever an engineer in charge of
a train that was wrecked and caus-
ed the loss of innocent lives
through his carelessness was guilty
of man slaughter and responsible
for the graveSt consequences, then
Major Penrose is guilty of the same
responsibility in the Brownsville
case. Knowing as he must, that
these same negro soldiers had been
guilty of similar outrages repeat
zy before, knowing that he had
large number of bad negroes" in
his command, as he acknowledged |
before competent witnesses after
the outrage, and being fully aware
of the high state of tension result
lng from the previous collisions be-
tween the citizens and soldiers, and
after the Evans outrage,
yet he undoubtedly failed to take
any extra precautions to prevent
the occurrence of such a terrible
crime as that committed by the
fends under his command. There
are witnesses who can prove that,
it has been sworn by SOL
diers and officers that the guns of
the soldiers were duly locked up il
the gun-racks on the night of Aug. !
I3, yet in reality a number of the
guns were in the corral at the same
time. It can be shown that, while
Major Penrose personally assured
the citizens committee that all
guns were placed in the arsenal,
except those used by the guard,

under guard in COM

fact the guns were not placed in

ner that has brought fourth much
praise. While the Rio Grande peo-
pie deserves high commentator
for making places for colored men,
the man responsible for the change
being made is Mr.. Lawrence
Stephen, who has, for sometime,
been in frequent conversation
with the officials advocating the
above result. There is perhaps no
one individual in the West that
has accomplished more for the
race than has Mr.. Stephen, as this
one instance alone means volumes
in our industrial avenues, saying
nothing of the scores of people OF
the race that he has put in
responsible and creditable posi-
tions. Such a man is indeed
credit to the race and to the COM
munity and we join with the citi-
zens of Denver in extending the
BS of congratulation to him for
his great accomplishments.
