ed the address on the tariff before the Brook
Ign Republican League at the Academy of
Music in Brooklyn Tuesday evening. The
auditorium was comfortably filled and on
the platform were a number of leading
Republican residents of the City of Churches.
Mr. Frye was received with applause and
listened to with enthusiasm. But he had
not got very far when well dressed man
got up and accused Senator Frye of not
talking facts, but of only speaking because
he had been hired by the Republican
League. Detective Strong at once applied
rigid principles of protection and locked
the interrupter up in the Washington street
station house. The prisoner was George W.
Salter, an Englishman.

A Plea for the Birds.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Please allow short article in your paper
in behalf of the Audubon Society
The mothers and daughters of our fair
land do not realize what they are doing when
they are wearing our beautiful birds for per-
sonal adornment.
Henry Ward Beacher says ''if there were
no purchasers there would be no demand,
and no reason for slaughtering these winged
gems. But as only women create demand.
it rests upon them to stay this wanton de-
struction."
1t is estimated that from five to ten mil
lions of birds are slaughtered annually, and
mostly for millinery purposes, and some are
said to be 1ayed alive in order toHbetter pre-
serve their plumage.
Our writer says: ''Savages as a rule stop
short with the feathers. 1t is only Christian
people who think it worth while to butcher a
whole bird to adorn their head gear"
Then let every enlightened Christian .wo-
man in the land take decided stand against
the use of birds for millinery decorations.
TIL practice of robbing birds nests for egg
collections is strongly condemned.

Suburban Trains on the Portland and
Rochester.

Commencing Monday, April 18th, the Port
land & Rochester railroad will put on two
additional passenger trains each way be-
tween this city and Saccarappa, leaving
Portland at 10 a. IN. and 8 p. m, and leaving
Saccarappa at II a. m. and p. m. This will
give the public six passenger trains a day
each way between Portland and Saccarappa
and Cumberland Mills. These extra trains
as well as the present morning and evening
trains between here and Gorham will make
an extra stop at Woodfords, near the Forest
avenue crossing, where a covered platform
is to be erected to accommodate the people
of Woodfords, who live in that vicinity.
There seems to be no doubt that this new
move on the part of the Portland e Roches-
ter will prove great convenience to the
people of these thriving communities and
will result in considerable increase of pat
ronage to the road.

To the Editor of the Press:
Mr.. 0. L. Lord, as he says in this morn

to acquaint the public with the facts in the
assault case at the Smaller school, Setting
aside his story of the formation of Club
among the large boys, for the purpose Of
punching" the smaller ones, with the sim
gle exception Of his statement that brought
the case before the court, there is not in the
whole length and breadth of Mr.. Lords arti-
Gle. one single assertion that is fact.
The statement that my boy applied for lnl-
tiation, that he was not on his way to school,
that Immediately notified one OF the COM
mittee, &C., &c, are totally and Wantonly
false, through and through from beginning
to end, and the inSinuation that caused the
insertion of the items in Mondays papers to
which | took exceptions, is as false as his as
SertionS.
There are plenty of facts relating to this
affair known to me and others that have not
yet been stated; but they will keep" and
they can be stated in future, should there be
need of it. have no spite" against any Of

BILE exception of Mr.. Lord.
