The Destruction of Gull Life.


From Leafet of Audubon Society
We need only select few of those that
are well known and indisputable, Science
for February 26, 1866, states that in one
season men killed for 10 cents apiece 40, =
600 gulls and terms on Cobbs' Island roOst
in the Chesapeake Bay. These were sold
in Paris, the packing house of fashion.
Eleven years ago Isaac Mcclellan, of
Greenport, Long Island, said that the
decorators of hats, the agents of our moth
ers, our sisters and our wives, had almost
exterminated in that region the gulls, the
robins, orioles, blackbirds and all the other
species they could find By this time
they must be nearly all gone.
In Beach Haven and Barnegat, n. J.,
boatmen find it more profitable to earn $50
week killing terms for women at 10 cents
apiece than to 20 fishing. From that sec
ton alone one season furnished 80, 600
skins for the New York market The
average seasons slaughter on Cape Cod
alone amounts to 10000 skins. Thank
God, men make no demand for such ex-
termination as this One birdman handles
30. 600 skins a season. filched from the
sunny plains of Eastern South Carolina.
Another ships 30, 600 a year to New York,
and yet cannot supply the craving of the
market One gunner confessed to killing
1000 cedar birds for women hats in the
winter of 1888, He has probably killed
thousands since, unless they are all gone.
What frightful inquisition
According to w IL. Hudson in the
London Times of October Il, 1898, 30,
900, 0O0 skins Of birds pass annually
through the London market, the sangui
nary clearing house for womans caprice.

Tried to Burn Orphan School

PHGNIxvILLE, Pa, March Is
Carson c. Vanhorn, aged Is, pupil Of
the Soldiers Orphan School at Chester
Springs, has been lodged in the Chester
county jail on the charge of attempting to
burn the teachers building, ON the night
of December Is last. After the attempt
to destroy the building, young Vanhorn
and another pupil Samuel Brookens, made
their way to Williamsport, where they
were located by Superintendent John NJ
Major Last Thursday the Chief of Po-
lice of Williamsport, at the instance of
Superintendent Major, arrested the boys
and turned them over to Detective Roat,
at Harrisburg, and he brought them to
Chester Springs, where Vanhorn was given
a hearing Friday by Justice Jacob Emery,
who committed him on the charge of at
tempting arson. After the hearing, Van
horn made a confession, implicating num-
Der of boy pupils, who were held as wit
nesses to appear against him
Last fall the girls building at Chester
Springs was burned, and the same night
attempts were made to set other buildings
on fire. Vanhorn attempted to burn the
teachers building so the school would be
destroyed and he and his friends could go
home Superintendent Major has long
suspected there was frebug among the
pupils.
