CRUELTY OF WOMEN.
Through craze for Hideous Adorn-
ment Birds Are Becoming Extinct.

Through craze for Hfdeous Adorn-
ment Birds Are Becoming Extinct.
we are asked to republish the fol-
lowing letter to the New York ''Trib-
une'
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir At a dinner recently given a
well-known humanitarian made an at
tack upon woman, the accusation be-
ing that she is pitiless and cruel,
Doubtless each present was congratu-
lating herself on her own tender
hearted sympathies. The following
statements will thiow light on the
question, referring as they do to her
thoughtless desire for adornmept.
SO great is the destruction Of bird
life at her demand that at one Of the
recent feather sales in London one
firm offered $4,000 ounces Of osprey
plumes- a full grown aigrette yielding
one-sixth of an ounce. The aigrette,
as is well-known, is the bridal adorn-
ment of the heron at its nesting sea-
son, and the death Of the bird means
the death by starvation Of Those In
the nest.
Well might Canon Rawnsley say in
Croswaithe Church one Sunday: G 1t
is travesty Of religion and mockery
for women, decked with aigrettes, to
sing in the Benedicite, O, all We fowls
Of the air, praise Him and magnify
Him forever.
One consignment in London sales
alone gives the following figures Os-
prey plumes, 1000 ounces birds of
paradise, 1000 bundles: Indian par
rots, 100000 bundles; tanagers and
other birds, $4,000 bundles; humming
birds, 1000 bundles, etc.
The smaller gulls and sea swallows
are shot for their wings, and the fowl
ers, in their haste, do not stop to kill
any wounded birds; they merely.
wrench off the wings and throw the
birds back into the water to die in
agony. Think of it, tender hearted
woman "And when wounded birds
are being torn asunder, says an eye
witness, theyicry and scream like a
chilli" To qhbte from the. leader of
" The London Times: The feather
ed woman is acruel woman, that for
the sake OF passing fashion which
pleases no rational being and should
disgust all who can think and feel and
understand, she brings dishonor upon
her sex and robs nature Of its beauty
without adding to her own
Everywhere 1 journey.the woods are
voiceless and deserted. Only an occa-
sional strain reminds one of the life
and color and muse charm that
might have been. And it is crying
shame that woman's ruthless hand
and pitiless heart should descend as a
destroyer to denude woods and forests
of their charming feathered inhabi-
tantS.
This season the sickening craze for
wings and birds renew itself. Let me
entreat my sister to keep her hands
off the gay winged songsters of the air
Ia plea which will be echoed by every
New York BIRD LOVER.

IA THOUGHT 10 q THE NEW YEAR.
Why hisdolefal wall of sadness
Every yearg
UDdertOniDg all our gladness
Every year?
Why at changing years SO fretful,
OF the dead past SO regretftl,
OF the living now f0rgetful:
Every year?
Faith and Hope are growing stronger
Every year;
AS the trodden way grows longer
Every year
Left behind the paths most dreary,
Passed the doubts that vex and weary,
Brighter CLEANS the sunshine CHEEKY,
Every year.
Is not God in wisdom guiding
Every year?
Though to us his purpose hiding
Every year?
Joy there is for every sorrow,
For each night bright tomorrow,
From the past fresh strength we borrow
Every year.
Let us then cease such repinlng
Every year;
And believe the Love DER shining
Every year:
Things that are behind forgetting,
Onward press without regrettlng
To the morn that, knows no setting,

win Continue Lackawanna League.
At meeting Of the officials Of the
Lackawanna Baseball League, held in
the Office of A. Philetus Konkle in the
Prudential building, Newark, last
Thursday afternoon, it was decided to
continue the league another season.
The circuit will comprise the towns
along the Lackawanna between Dover
and Orange, and the towns named as
the likely ones TO enter team are
Dover. Morristown, Madison. Chat
ham, Summit and Orange, making in
all six teams in the circuit. The rea-
son the officials decided to let but
towns between Dover and Orange en-
ter was that the teams were under
considerable expense last year in Jump
ing to Stroudsburg and Phillipsburg.
This year but one game a week will be
played, and that on Saturday, as the
receipts from the Wednesday games
last year were very poor. A new ven
ture, which will, without doubt
prove good one, will be the playing
of league games on holidays. Among
the other things decided was to fix a
salary limit of $65 per team for each
game. exclusive Of travelling expenses.
