hunters landed on the island Ill May, 1909, and straightway began their work of slaughter. It is estimated that by the fall of the same year more than 100000 birds had been killed.
 The slaughter wrought by the for eign plume hunters is everywhere by a guano company and later by the poachers is still standing. It is filled with thousands of pairs of albatross wings.
 Twenty-three poachers were ar rested by the officers and conveyed to Honolulu, together with the plum age which they had baled prepar- tory to shipping to Japan.
 Professor Homer R. Dill, in his report to the department, tells of the favorte pastime of the plumed in. abitants-cakewalkin
 "One bird will approach another with an indescrible squeaking sound lowing all the time If the other bird feels like performing" says Dill in his report, "he bows in re. turn. They cross bills very rapidly several times Then one bird re turns it's head and lifts one wing in such a manner that the primaries point directly out at the side. Tn the meantime the other bird keeps up loud noise that sounds some what like the neighing of a horse The bird taking the lead then walks around it's partner, stepping higf like the negro cakewalker. This par of the procedure is usually closed by one or both birds pointing theil beaks straight up in the air, raising on their toes. puffing out thei breasts and uttering a long-drawl groan The same thing is done man.

1HAW INSANE; MIGHT
 KILL, SAYS AIENIST

WHITE PLAINS, N Y, July l. Dr. Austin s. Flint, the alienist re tained by the state to oppose the release of Harry K. Thaw from Mattewan, explained at the hearing before Judge Keogh today how he had at first regarded Thaw as 6
 murderer" but later arrived at the conclusion that he was insane.
 Did you see any evidence of in sanity on Thaw's part when YOU first interviewed him?" Dr. Flint was asked by Clarence J. Shearn. Thaw' counsel.
 "No," was the reply.
 Dr. Flint said his first intimatior that Thaw was irrational came Wher he read Thaw's will and codicil. Af ter studying these papers carefully he went to the then district attor ney. Jerome, told him he was trying an insane man, and said that ht himself would withdraw from the case if he desired. The witness declared that "Thaw's delusion mus crop out in time, although it migh be concealed for years" Dr. Flint was still on the stand when the hearing adjourned until to morrow.
 William T. Jerome, for the state read to Dr. Flint a hypothetical
 question, characterizing it as mo toriously onesided" Judge Keogf allowed 1t in amended form. He is insane" answered Dr Flint
 Tn your opinion would his re lease be dangerous to the public peace?"
 Yes"
 Shearn has sent to Attorney Gen eral Carmody a telegram protesting against the alleged abuse of his ap pointment as special counsel to op pose the release of Thaw. Shear asserts that the venom" and "bit terness' of Jerome's conduct wa. apparent to everyone.

which my sense of religion have given me.
 But do people about me under stand all that. No. find my friends look upon my serious side as peculiar They think am blase, tired, finished. It is no sign of jaded spirits to change ones idea as to what one most enjoys than it Is to think one is dying of indigestion because one changes ones breakfast food"
 Have you noticed that the dances themselves have changed; that the waltz has become old fogy'?" she was asked.
 Society is VulearIzed.
 Have l? should say had. These wretehed vulgar dances. this turkey trot business, which 1 have seen during the last winter, is too disgusting for words. It only shows that our whole country is becoming materialistic and vulgarized. In fact, that is what is the matter with society. It no longer means the same thing to me because 1t Is no longer the same thing. re- member, and l am not very old woman, when to be invited at cer- tain great houses in New York was social privilege and an honor. To- day there isn't a house in New York which means anything in great social way.
 That has all passed All we have are recollections. Even the traditions, say, have gone and we find the debutantes of these years turning up their noses and pooh- poohing the waltz and calling it a grandmother dance that none of us girls know
 Think of it, the waltz, the only really beautiful, graceful classic dance that has been danced by the great ladies of all ages, being con- temptuously spoken of by these vul. gar little misses whose sophistica- tion and worldly knowledge is a commentary on the laxity of social and domestic life
 This same laxity and vulgarity has been brought about through the ,1np tui ne h1 member time when divorced per son was not socially received To- day young girls marry and trip lightly into the tie that binds with a sense of personal liberty which can be theirs if they choose and change their minds after marriage through divorce. That is one of the ugliest features of American life and it goes through all classes of society from the highest to the lowest. It has came, I say, be- cause we have lost all our self-re- spect, our religious feeling, our ideals"
 All Jump to Bells. But the thing that disturbs me most is the bitter class feeling which exists and which should be bridged over. There is class feel ing because there are classes and there must always be classes be- cause brains are and always will be of unequal worth, but class bitter ness should not exist
 T know how hard 1t is to do away with it because I have tried I know, too, that if l were a maid and had to jump at the call of my mistress and give up all my per sonal interest to her Whims l might feel the same as she does about it.
 But there Is one thing that ser wants do not seem to appreciate, namely, that while they must jump at the ring of the bell, all of us must jump to the rings of our bells. We all have some others pressing the button for us, no matter how comfortable and luxurious our en- |

US. on Brink of Reign
 of Tenor, Says Mrs. Fish

NEW YORK. June Is. - Like France on the eve of it's great rev olution-that is the way I feel tha, We are now unless some great lead CT. some powerful mind, can save us from what seems almost inevitable This remarkable statement was made by Mrs. Sturtevant Fish, whose social pre-eminence. whose charm and brillianCy have always made her a leader and who is received on both sides of the Atlantic as representing the real social life of America.
 When I say that We are in the most critical period of our exist ence as a nation I do not say it as T Socialist, as radical or as a sentamentalist, for am none of those things" continued Mrs. Fish but somehow l feel that I have a peculiarly clear outlook in more than usually large way upon what Is going on around me, and my opinion is that if our country con tinues to go in the way we are drifting there is grave. awful dan ger ahead"
 But returning to my fears for the future of our country, want to say that society, the handful of people like myself who live within q certain restricted environment, is not largely responsible for existing conditions. While l look upon SO ciety as it exists at the present time as entirely not worth while, do maintain that society has been very badly msrepresented to the masses of people
 Monkey Dinners are Few.
 As a matter of fact, there is hardly any woman of my acquaint- ance, no matter what her alleged frivoities are, who does not take deep interest in her fellow crea. lures and try in every way possible to make the life of those less for tunately born worth while. But what does one read of society? They do not hear of the serious-the real -doings of the woman of society, but let a man or two women lunch hrin tUp along and the whole country is ablaZe with front page stories of the event.
 ITO one monkey dinner there are thousands of splendid, fine, unselfish acts of human kindness done by these women. These go unherald. ed. not that we want the other things exaggerated, for they not only misrepresent but they make for class antagonism and for class hat. red" continued Mrs Fish.
 The trouble is that as a whole our country is almost without stand ards and ideals, and our traditions are fast going from us We have lost the greatest of our ideals, in fact, the one thing that makes ideals possible. We have lost our religious consciousness. It doesn't matter what sort of religion one has. but no nation can exist with out religious feeling and under. standing
 T am taken for worldly woman Few of my old friends realize and understand the deep religious sense that has been the undercurrent of my life and has made me do what ever has been worth while in my life But were I without this deep sense of the meaning of things, life would be the emptiest of baubles While I have been frank and can did at times, to the verge of being misunderstood, I still feel that have tried always to live up to the best that has been in me. I have tried to fill my niche as well as know.
 With all my mistakes and fail ures I can at least look back upon my life as one that has striven al
