Fon rRorucr1ox OF BIRDS.
Audubon Society Organized at Win
ter Park. Fla.

Winter Park, Fla. April 16.-Florida is
moving TO. give hearty support to the
jealous efforts Of the American Ornltholo-
gists Union of Philadelphia to protect
birds OF plumage from slaughter. The evil
has reached such proportions that public
sentiment has been aroused against il IN
all parts Of the country, and as Florida il
noted for her beautiful birds of plumase
there is now ANEW movement on foot TO
concentrate and make more effective ef-
forts to suppress the killing and sale or
such birds.
The Secretary of Agriculture at wash
ington recently appealed to the Postmaster
General for his assistance to prevent post
masters in the South from aiding in any
way Northern dealers who by CARDS ana
circulars solicit shipments to them of cur
beautiful birds Of plumage. Inc POST
master General has promptly issued an or
der enjoining postofice officials from CIV
ing any aid whatever to this traffic.
Here in Florida the movement has been
started by Bishop H. 3. Whipple, Mrs.
l.. +. Dommerich. Mrs. Charles II. Han
and Mrs. Kingsmin Mars, winter resi-
dents of Maitland, and President George
NJ. Ward of Rollins College, and Mrs. C.
b. Comstock of this city, and prominent
ladies' and gentlemen in other parts of the
state 1t is called the Audubon Society,
with Bishop Whipple as president, anu
Mrs L. f. Dommerich as secretary, ana
the usual full complement of officers. All
concerned in the movement are people or
wealth and culture and influence, and II
ii is possible, by law or otherwise, to stop
the wholesale slaughter of our Florida
birds Of plumage, this society will DO It.
The parent society will organize local So
cieties all over the state and through
these societies a strict watch can be kept
over all sections where birds Of plumaSe
are most likely to be slaughtered. The
society already has an influential COM
mittee appointed to prepare and have
passed by the Legislature a bill to pre-
vent the wholesale slaughter of BIRDS or
plumage in this state.
A general appeal IS made by the society
to al classes of people, Old and young,
who feel an interest in this matter, to aid
the movement by the formation OF local
societies and the giving Of personal at
tention to the full protection of al kinds
Of birds The indiscrimnate slaughter of
birds generally is deplored, as the gardner
and fruit grower need the services Of
many species of birds 10 keep their vege-
tables, plants and trees free from injuri-
Gus and destructive insect pests. II Is
gratifying fact that the Audubon societies
in other states, being composed largely of
influential society people, have created
strong public sentiment against the use
of birds of plumage for decorating ladies'
hats and bonnets. The time therefore,
seems suspicious for a general aud strong
movement against bird destroyers, and
there is every reason to believe that the
Audubon Society of Florida is to be in the
front rank of the most Jealous workers in
this humane cause.

My friend, you have simply read the

Shall government protect the weak or

For many decades this republic has
