wild Bird. and Millinery.

The British parliament will probably
not pass Lord Avebury's bill for the
protection of wild birds, although the
house of lords has passed 1T to . sec
ond reading. There is general agree
ment as to the need of action and as
to the purpose of the bill; but doubt Is
expressed whether the proposed meas
ure is wisely devised. The bill pro-
hibits the importation into the United
Kingdom. for the purpose of sale or
exchange, of the plumage, skin or body
of any wild bird except ostriches, elder
ducks and wild fowl used for food
Specimens may be gathered Tor
museums, but only under special IL
cense; and penalties of FIVE pounds for
a first offense and ELS for subsequent
offenses are provided To American
travellers In England the situation is
not SO startling as 1T appears, says the
Youths Companion, for out of consid-
Grafton for the tastes of foreigners 1t
fs provided in the bill that parts Of
birds not included in the list OF ex-
smptions may be worn by those enter
ing Great Britain, provided that writ
ten declaration that the plumage is
not for sale shall be given upon re-
quest. An understanding of the causes
which led to the introduction Of this
bill ought, however, to restrain every
rfght-minded woman from awaiting her
self of such a privilege. There were
sold last year at the London plume
sales the scapular feathers of 10000
egrets, and the skins of more than u.s.
900 birds OF paradise. The plumes of
the egrets are nesting plumes;" that
is, they appear only when the birds
have young, and of course the young
starve when the parents are killed.
Another sad feature of the situation is
the sale of the tail-feathers of hun
dreds of Tyre birds, and of quilts of the
albatross; the one a representative Of
a single genus of birds, the other
wanderer, which, as Mr.. James Buck
land puts it, adds dignity even to the
ocean" The woman who goes to
church and bows in prayer a head
decorated" at such cost is a fit sub
ject for investigation by the new psy-
chology.

CHAPTER XXI.
A Heart for a Life,

In the depressing loneliness of a
strange hotel Stella's fears returned,
multiplied by the hours they had
rested. Impatiently she paced the
small room. She had no watch to
count the minutes But that the sun
still shone on the mountain above her,
she would have declared it already
night.
Where was Uncle Billy? Why hadn't
he come to take her to dinner?
Innocent Stellal She knew nothing
of Mrs. Grundy's code; suspected no
whit of the reason for Uncle Billy's
Rloofness. In Colfax, under Sally BIS
powerful wing, where Uncle Billy was
known and approved, no one would
have dared a breath against her. But
it was very different in this feverish
city. Good women were few. Honest
men, toiling for loved ones away,
jostled the blackleg, the gambler, the
man of many aliases; and petticoated
vice preyed upon its authors, and
sorely beset clean hearts as we'll A
beautiful friendless girl must indeed
be hedged by angels if she were to run
safely the gantlet of this ''wickedest
city in the world"
She left her room and wandered
about in search of the parIor; came
upon it at last-small, stuffy and
possessed by several overdressed, be-
diamonded women. who stared at her
brazenly and openly commented on
her. AS from a pestilence, she fed to
her own corridor again, hesitating be-
fore her door. But vanquished by
thought of the desolation within, she
dropped the key in her pocket and
began walking the narrow hall, darker,
emptfer than her room, but open at
either end to human approach Here
the hall boy found her, bringing
| message from Uncle Billy to meet him
in the parlor.
Stella thought of it little resentful-
ly as she hurried on, recalling the in
hospitable occupants. But they were
gone; and at sight of Uncle Billy's
CHEEKY face she forgot they had ever
been.
He came to her with outstretched
hands AS I told you, honey, Vim

ously

was all of Stella's reply; and he hoped
she would ask no questions

BROWNSVILLE IN POLITICS
It Will Gut a Figure Thinks
 Mir. fOraker
He Thinks the Negroes
 Will Exert an Infiu-
 ence.

Washington, May 22.-In , view of Senator Foraker, of Ohio, the Browns vile incident will be an important fea- ture of the national campaign this year. In a letter written by the Ohio senator to Richard D. White of Cam bridge, Mass, and subsequently quot ed in a communication to John E. Millholland, chairman of the executive committee of the Constitutional Lea que of the United States, New York City, he stated his reasons for con- senting to a pOstponement of the vote in the senate on the restoration of the men of the twenty fifth infantry to the army under certain restrictions.
 MT. Foraker asserts that the presi- dent declared in a letter to Senator Wm. Alden Smith of Michigan that there could be no more sympathy for the men of the twentyfifth than for the assassins of Garfield or Mckinley and that the pending measure was intend ed only to force "a lot of murderers and perjurers" back into the army. The Ohio senator says further that while there is no prospect of a fav- orable vote on the measure, held out at this session, he is convinced that it will be passed next December. Meantime, the senator says the negro voters of the country can demonstrate their influence in the national cam paign.

THE N. '. N. H. & II.
 HAS GROWN TOO BIG
The Government Has Brought Suit to
 Separate It Into Smaller Sections.

Boston May 22.-A bill in equity to restrain the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company from exercising any control over the Boston and Maine railroad and to separate the New Haven from the various trolley lines it has acquired, was filed in the federal circuit court today by District Attorney French, acting for the government
 The bill is brought under the Sher man act and charges that the New Haven road has acquired numerous trolley lines and is attempting tc control the Boston and Maine rail- road in restraint of trade. The pe- tition claims that if the New Haven is not restrained a situation will be created which will eventually enable the New Haven to control for all time interstate transportation not only among the New England states but between such states and other states of the union.
 It is alleged that by the acquisi- tion of these lines, the New Haven has completely suppressed compeu tion and deprived the public of the advantages thereof, and has estab- lished a monopoly so thoroughly and completely as to practically preclude the possibility of competition being hereafter revived and re-established except by relief from the court"

A Clause to Reduce the Representation

The House Rejects the Senates Ship Subsidy Provision Which for the Moment at Least Seems HOpelessly Lost.

sion of the senate concluded today with an extended debate on the pow CT of congress to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, and a negative poll was taken on a motion to adopt the Foraker substitute for the inter- state commerce commission resolution extending the time when the penalty provision of the commodity clause of the Hepburn rate law shall take effect
 The Foraker substitute provided that the prohibition against railroads transporting across state lines, coal or other articles produced by them shall apply only to property acquired since the passage of the Hepburn rate bill, May 29, 1906.
 The committee on resolution applied to all products without limitation con- cerning he time ownership. After the substitute was lost, and before vote on the committee resolution was called for, MT. Aldrich moved that the senate go into executive session. The bill to place date of canning meat pro ducts on packages was discussed brief ly as was the omnibus claim bill, but both were displaced.
 The disagreement of the house to the conference report on the post the senate provision for a mail sub sidy was laid before the senate and another conference was ordered, with instructions to insist upon the senate amendment.

Good bye" Sur rounded by his wife, three sons and a daughter, Governor Sparks, conscious to the last, sank to death this morn ing after uttering the above words.

THE WESTERN MAKERS
 OF NEWS PRINT PAPER
Have Their Innings Before the House
 Special Investigating Committee.

Washington, May 22.-Western manufacturers of newsprint paper presented their side of the contro- versy today before the special com mittee of the house Investigating the wood pulp question. A number of these manufacturers were members of the General Paper company, which was dissolved by an order of the court, and they testified that since the dissolution there has been no agreement among the paper makers as to price, division of territory, etc.
 Clarence L McNair, manager of the Northwest Paper company, stated that the omnibus contract which had been made with the Scripps- -McRae league of papers, formerly customers of the General Paper company, in January of this year, was for $2.10 per 100 pounds delivered, excepting to it's Pacific coast papers, and that the General Paper company was party to the contract as it had been a party to the old contract. Before the dissolution of the company the price was $1.9O per 100 pounds. All mills manufacturing print paper, be- longing to the General Paper com pany, were parties to the new con- tract.

.MUlAI MAKES GOOD AS SULTAN 0f MOROCCO
France Will Be Compelled at Last to

Paris, May 22.-There was a pros- pect of the entrance into the Fez of Mulai Hafid, the usurping sultan of Morocco. The circumstance that gives possession of the three capitals of Mo rocco, Morocco City, Fez and Me quinez. compels France reluctantly to face the possibility of having to rec ognize him as the legitimate sultan of the empire.
 No move to this end has yet been made. but it is realized today in of ficial circles that the position of Sul- tan Abdel Aziz is becoming increas- ingly critical and desperate. Although Abdel Aziz has retaken Saffi and pre- sumably has an army marching to re- take Morocco City, the army sent to- ward Fez under General Bagdani has been blocked by the Beni Nassen tribesmen.

Washington, May 22-Practically all hope Of a mail subsidy bill was abandoned today when the House by vote of 145 to 156 rejected the con- ference report on the pOstoffice ap- propriation bill containing the provi- sion therefor, on which the principal fight was made. The bill was sent back to the conference and there is now little prospect that the house conferees will Z'ield to the senate.
 By a strict party vote the cam paign contribution publicity bill with an amendment providing for reduc- tion of the representation of the house from the southern states passed. The democrats voted against the bill be- cause Of this amendment.
 By way of further cleaning up pend ing business. the omnibus bill report received, the conference report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill was agreed to, the senate amend ments to the general deficiency mili- taTy appropriation, and omnibus In- dian land bills were all disagreed to, and the bills were sent to conference.
 In brief, the provision regarding the publicity of contributions is made ap- plicable to national committees and national congressional campaign com mittees of all political parties, and to all committees, associations and or ganizations which shall, in two or more states, influence the result or at tempt to influence, the result of an election in which representatives are to be elected
