infant son, but as she sat brooding and
inconsolable her attendants came run

WOULD LABEL ALL THE BIRDS
Illinois Audubon Society's Plan to
Shed Light on Their Habits.

If plan the Illinois Audubon socie-
ty has in mind goes through it will not
be long before one will be able to cap
ture any bird whatsoever, glance at
his right leg and see thereon a neatly
tabulated history of the birds career,
telling his winter and summer quar-
tiers and where he was last seen.
At business meeting of the society
the other afternoon in Fullerton Hall
Art institute, Chicago, remark was
made of the fact that there were a
number of birds in existence of whom
little was known, not even their mi
gratOry courses.
"A scheme has been tried out which
might be successful in this case re-
marked Ruthven Deane, president of
the society, land which would help us
in learning where these birds winter.
Whenever one of them is captured
alive let small bit of aluminium be
put on his right leg, upon which shall
be the place and date he was last seen.
err cline, his identity will be known"
The suggestion was enthusiastically
received, and the Audubon society re.
quested that funds with which to pur-
chase the tags or labels, be sent to
headquarters: also any individual de
string to lend personal effort to the
work would please answer.

asked him if the Black Hand agents
in New York had never tried to kill
him. He said he had been threatened
many times. but was never afraid.
"All the stories about his wearing
coat of mail were untrue. When he
was shot his revolver was in his room
at the hotel. When he first came to
Palermo the authorities asked him If
he didn't want guard TO accompany
him. They told him it was dangerous
to go about on such a mission alone.
but he refused any escort.
zone day he was going into very
dangerous locality infested with men
known to be desperate. He asked me
what he had better Go. told him TO
take along some of the carabinieri, but
he finally decided to go alone. That
was just before he was shot down.
Lieutenant Petrosino did not even
disguise himself. True. he registered
under an assumed name at the hotel
and let his beard grow. but it changed
him very little. He was of a diStinc-
tive type. easily recognized. / told
him one day that he looked like Ma
poleon. and he said Yes and that in
New York they called him a second
Mckinley. as he looked not unlike the
rormer president.
"The people Of Palermo were in
cIined to look upon Lieutenant Petro-
sine as an intruder. and after his muir
der many would say that he got what
he deserved. only tell this TO show
what difficult proposition the author
tiles have been up against in trying
to locate his murderers."
Mr. Bishop said that the immigration
laws had not been lived up to in Italy
for many years. He sad that under
the present passport system there is
no means of identifying the holder OF
a passport other than the general de
scription given.

Prominent Church Plans Beautifica

tion Feature For Its Centenary.
The Rev. DR.. William Il. Hunting
ton, rector Of Grace church. in New
York, has hit upon novel plan for
concentrating this the hundredth
year of the corporate existence of the
church. His congregation indorses the
plan. 1t is TO transform into q garden
the lot adjoining the church on the
south, which has a frontage of fifty
feet on Broadway and 10 feet on
Tenth street. 1t was formerly the site
of well known bakery.
The lot was recently purchased by
the church. The garden will be in
closed only with Il low iron fence. so
that the people living thereabout will
get the benefit of it, 1t will provide q
playground for the choir boys and Il
place for church entertainments.
Part of the Easter collection. which
this year amounted TO $4,000, will be
used to complete the payment on the
new lot, which, when it becomes 4
garden, will have as a background an
ornamental wall. now almost compIet-
ed. along the South wall of the church
parallel with Tenth street. This wall
the corporation has erected with the
idea of shutting out from view the tall
building in the rear. 1t is some thirty
| feet high.
DR.. Huntington said the garden will
be monument to the church and a
welcome sight to the millions of people
who annually pass the spot. 1t will
| also add to the appearance of the
neighborhood.
