NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Mrs. Russell
Sage has always been known as
friend of the birds and the small ami
mails. For years she has been sort
of fairy god mother to the squirrels IN
Central park, which are really one of
the most interesting of the many
interesting sights of this great city. OF
recent wears she has taken the robin
especially and all the American song
birds in general under her protection
and is spending her money to secure
for them chance to live in peace.
She has given $4,000 year for three
years for arousing interest In the pro-
lection Of the robin. Up to last sea
son robins could be bought in the mar
kets of southern cities at from 5 to 10
cents dozen, and even now many
have been passed TO protect them, there
are still seven states where there Is
open hunting season.
AS result of Mrs. Sage's crusade
533 Junior audubon classes were formed
last year in twelve states, with mem
bership Of 1000.

among the Wall street associates of the
late Russell Sage TO thingk of the mon
ey. to which he held SO tightly, going
for the benefit OF the robins and squlr-

iion. Our money is gold and silver.
Occasionally you might find bill but

The New York court of special ses'
sions made decision which will inter

was before the court charged with in
toxication. He denied the charge, de-

Weed offered to demonstrate in court
that he could drink six highballs and
be cold sober, and the judge discharged
him.
