"The woman who made that state

Then Mrs. Carse made the declara

showed a majority against the resolu
tion. A rising vote was called fur.
THE DOW FUND.
"Does this vote affect the fund of
$23,000 in Misa Dow's custody?" asked
Mrs. French, of San Francisco.
"It does not." said Mrs. Stevens.
"Can the general officers use it to re
tire the bonds if the W. C. T. U. Is
under no moral obligation to do so?"
"The W. C. T. U. has more confidence
In Its general officers than the question
implies," answered Mrs. Hoffman.
The standing vote was then taken
and the result was 267 against the reso
lution and 75 for it.
Mrs. M. D. Ellis moved that the gen
eral officers be empowered to dispose
of the fund at their disposal toward

SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE.
Supt. Nary H. Hnnt Disenssei the
Sieus of the Bene Kra.
The following la an abstract of the report
of Mary 11. Hunt, netional superintendent cf
scientific temperance Instruction:
The poet Lowell cay«:
"At tlie birth of each n«w era, with a rec
ognizing start.
Nation wildly look* at nation, »tandtng with
mute lips apart."
Hay., we it.u-hed the dawn of such an era
fT the tiinperanee cause? Three thing* In
dicate that we hay p.
The first ls that the olvillxed nation* of th*
earth are putting .aus* and effect together
on the alcohol question a* never before, ln
France. Switzerland and Beletum the Increas
ing u*e of alcohol ls re.-njcn_s.-d as the cause
of a physical decline In stature that Is filling
those nation* with alarm for their future.
Ctaea Investigation 1* proving to th* kaiser
that the beer-drinking so:d!er haa only 80 or
X m r ewit of tlie endurance of th* total ab
stainer, and economist* are calling attention
to the bad effect* that increasing drink habits
are having upon German Industries" Tho
young czar of Russia, alarmed at thp Inroads
which he see* alcohol making upon his army
and people, ls striving to stem the tide.
Thoughtful Englishmen are saying rhat lirit
ain'« ireateat enemy la alcohol. While tn
our own loun.ry tta effects upon our soldl-TJ,
in the home camp* aa well as In the Aid!
have been made sadly evident to tbe Ameri
can people.
The second sign of the coming of the new
ers on the alcohol question 1* that th* truth
alcohol Is <>ut. Everything that tt*
advocate* can say ln It* favor is contro
verted by the strongest *•!• i.tifk' auth.
of the world, who pronounce lt a poleon—
the genius of degeneracy Nothing can stifle
this truth or hide it Iron the people and their
children, whose heritage It Is. Vain are the
effort* to make the clock of the worid move
backward: it* great pendulum swings to tba
rhythm of truth. In the fullness of time it
■Hikes the death knell if error, ard when
that time comes no m*n can turn the hand
back on the dial.
The third sign Is that the per capita con
sumption of ai.-orio! has begun to decline In
tbis country, although it* consumption 1* lr.
croexirs in other nations. The new York
ird puts this decline during the
lti ~ cent. Prior to that
thero was a continual increase. During
those year* *nme of our prohibitory laws
have been rep. aled, others have been weak
ened: less rather than more temperance plat
iMaa done, and more than
■" people have coma to us trom foreign
land*, bringing with th. m the alcoholic hab
it* of th* countries from which they came.
Ie the tace, of all these unfavorable condi
tion*, why ha* the per capita consumption of
alcohol tn this country decreased during tht*
time, while previously it inoreaaed? Our Kn
r!t*h friends are doing as much church, s -
eietv and Band of Hop- work a* we, and per
haps more; yet England's drink bill fo
ran up to J1C.500 0"0 more than that ot the
preceding year. The only n.w f-ature Intro

urged him to abolish the canuen and he
said thj matter -/ra* und*r consideration and
It had been under consideration ever since.
The army officers all agreed that the canteen
waa the worst enemy of the soldiers, yet no

Why are ostrich feattiers Injurious for
OMtrti bee?
The delegates to the W. C. T. I\ conven
tion yesterday mo. ring wrestled with thi*
.-onundrum and *ettled It to the entire satis
faction of themselves, if not to the ostriches.
They agreed that feather* tend to shorten
the Uvea of the bird* and that tt wa* conse
quently the part of humanity and wisdom to
plu. k them and sell them to milliners to
decorate women's bonnet*. But all other
Urea are held exempt from the milliners' '
i-ru i attention*.
lt ws* tbe flrst time on record that oetri' h a
| were ever claesed aa song birds, but It went j
without auestl<<n.
The subject was brought before lii> convon
tioa by Mrs. Lovell, superintend. -nt of th* •
department of anti-vivisection, ln the follow- |
lug resolution, whi.-li sbe lnir.;duc«d early I
in the morning session:
in view of the wholeaade destruclon ani
■ threatened extinction of whole species of !
; beautiful and useful song bird* for millinery
, purpose*, and the consequent rapid uiultipli- ,
of tune' t pests and serious m.-njice to
i the agricultural interest* of our country and •
[ the world, and In view of the manifest
inadequacy of moral suasion sud aesthetic mo
tive* to nravent tho wearing of birds and
part* of birds' on women* bonnet*, that we i
earnestly pray that congress wIH pass a law
prohibiting the eale, by hunter* or milliners.
Of any bird plumage except ostri.-h feathers.
' 1 have observed. " said Mrs. Lovell. 'tha:
'ir i«_>l • -'-.invention women bn: ■
back to tbe style of wearing birds' fcath»r* j
in tiolr bonnets, and I think It ought to be |
prevented."
It ta wicked to ahoot birds," said the Bee.
Anna Shaw, "but I am opposed to women ap
pealing to men to pas* laws to regulate
their wearing apparel. We should not be ,
obliged to have any law passed and would not
tf w* acted ln accordance with the dictate*
of our conscience. Such a request Is no' dK
ni9ed. I am opposed to asking congress to
set,**
Mr* I'pbani moved an amendment to ex
cpt the recommendation for congressional
action.
•We !ave game laws to protect birds." said
Mr*. J. H. Larton. of Idaho.
"I did not understand that the meaning
wa* to protect bird*." *ald Mrs. Shaw, "but
I aay we ehould aot appeal to congress. "
"la It a fact." asked Mr*. Walker, of Ne
braska, "that ostriches are hurt when their
feathers are plucked?"
'The chair would rule that it ls," replied
Mr*. Steven*.
"Rut oetrlehes would becom» extinct tf the r
feather* wer* not regularly plucked, ' said
a delegate In the rear of the church.
Thi* luformatlon surprised the de.egi:«e. A
vote en the amendment wa* taken and tt
wa* lost.
Why ls lt wrong to wear song-bird feath
ers, asked Mr*. Loy*. of Pennsylvania. .
"and not to wear turkey feather*?"
Mr*. Lovell's resolution wa* carried by a
vot* of 106 to 27. and congrea* will be asked
to deshyn women* bonnet* ln future.
But th* ostrkh had better bide hi* heed.
