CONTEMPORARY OPINION

The man who has been endeavoring
to secure the skins OF 10000 black and
other birds from Delaware, to be used
as ornaments on ladies hats, may
prove to have been a greater friend Of
the birds than he intended. For years
strong clubs and other organizations
have existed having for their chief OBJ
ject the protection OF song and insect
ivorous birds, and stringent laws with
a similar purpose are on the statute
books of many states The organiza-
tiOns have done much towards awaken
ing and strengthening popular senti-
ment against the use OF birds or their
wings In millinery work. but &c Is
doubtful IL all their efforts have
aroused as much feeling as the man
who contracted to have 10000 feather
ed songsters killed in Delaware.
The storm of righteous indignation
which the announcement OF the con-
tract raised is unprecedented IN It's
depth and extent. and it Is undoubt-
edly increasing instead OF diminishing.
The governor OF Delaware has taken
prompt and vigorous steps towards
preventing the slaughter and forbid
den the railroads from carrying the
dead birds Ministers OF the Gospel
have taken up the subject with ear
nestness, and have joined the orni-
theological organizations in their cru
SADIE against the use of birds as orna-
ments on hats. One of thom a few days
since, IN powerful appeal for the
birds, pertinently said:
AS the war upon the feathered tribe
proceeds the argument that toads and
lizards are capable OF solving the in
sect problem becomes wOndrouslv far
fetched. Live birds In the open air
are useful, but dead birds on hats are
useless. A living bird is a MOVING
