In a cage in a public park at Gin
cinnati the last survivor of a dying
race is perishing. It's death, perhaps,
is not a matter of great Importance,
nor is it, at the same time, without
It's significance. When the veteran
passenger pigeons in the Cincinnati
cage breathes it's last the species dies
with it. Fifty years have not passed
since these birds were numbered by
the million. Their swift flights dark
ened the skies, and days length.
from dawn to dark, did not suffice at
times to mark the passing of a single
flock. Today only one remains, In
less than half century the race has
become extinct.
The dying bird in Cincinnati is
thirty years old. When 1t winged its
first flight its fellows still were nu-
numerous. They flew in countless le-
gions from the gulf to the lakes, and
vast flocks of them were to be seen in
the fields and meadows of Indiana.
Men now of middle age saw them, in
their boyhood, in numbers still amaz-
ing. When this last survivor, how
ever was first made prisoner, the
passenger pigeon was passing. III tlle
brief lifetime of a single bird the race
had been effaced. Ruthless slaugh-
ter had wrought its havoc and only a
dropping captive survived.
Naturalists have sought in vain the
country over for pair from which
the race might be revived. The offer
of generous reward failed even to dis
cover mate for the lonely prisoner.
And now. even for her, the end has
come. But the fate that has befallen
this race has not been without some
compensation. 1t drew attention, at
least, to the necessity for protecting
our native birds from indiscrininate
slaughter. And from laws resulting,
projected merely as means of protec-
zion. we have gone still another step
until, today, we do whatever we can,
not alone to protect the birds, but to
Increase their numbers.
We have learned a good lesson, and,
though we gained our knowledge at
the expense of the extinction of the
passenger pigeon, the passing of the
species has not been in vain. 1t is
safe TO say that II human means can
prevent, this tragedy of the bird king
dom viii not be repeated.

For the maid who-stockS the larder
BY the lazy telephone.
But the sterner times are with us,
And the simpler ways they bring;

Is the girl want to sing
For she totes it to the market
AS our mothers did of yore,
And at prices cheap and thrifty
Fills it with luscious store.
Yet for me twill prove expensive
And my fears will not be hid;

Slows my heart beneath its lid

WATER PROBLEM
NOT YET SOLVED
Paterson Officials Declare Wa
ter company's Supply Insult
ficient for Cities.
Especial to the Evening star.I

PATERSON, April 1S.-That the
State Water Supply Commission had
still a great deal to accomplish in the
way of the purchase of the holdings
of the East Jersey Water Company's
holdings. and that this city is as far
from a solution of the water problem
as ever were the general opinions ad-
Vanced by representatives of three
municipalities, VINO met at confer
ence with Mayor Fordyce, of this
place, at a meeting in the City Hall
yesterday afternoon.
Mayor Fordyce, who acted as chair
man of the meeting, pointed out that
in the very near future the watershed
operated by the East Jersey Water
Company would not be sufficiently
large to supply the municipalities
which are now served, and that even
If the water rights were purchased
there would be lapse of several
years before additional property
would have to be purchased to secure
sufficient volume of water.
Commissioner Frank Van Cleve,
representing the finance board, urged
reflection before the city takes too
hasty q step. The members of the
finance board felt that this was not
the opportune time to purchase the
water company's holdings.
City Counsel Mercy protested
against the abandonment of the pro-
ject, asserting that unless the city Sc
cures the watershed 1t viii be pur-
chased by the city of Newark.
The representatives present adj
mitted that they had no intention of
abandoning the proposition, but they
| did believe that considerable informa-
ton could be furnished by the State
Water Supply Commission. A, r.
Carr, of Nutley. raised the point that
the state commission was debating to
| the various cities how the water
should be disposed of. He was
| in clined to the opinion that each
municipality should regulate and
have control over their own water
! systems. City Counsel Mercy said
| that the acts of the State Legis allure
governed the action of municipalities
and that they would have to ABIDE
by the decisions of the commission.
At the close of the meeting 1t. was
agreed that the larger municipalities
| interested would need more tome to
consider the purchase of the East
/ Jersey and furthermore be enl.ght-
ened on many points which have
been discovered. Those present yes
i terday afternoon were: Mayor For

! gineer Colin j. Wise, of Passaic; A
