William butcher Remembered for His
Unceasing Fight Against
Their Enemies.
Evidence

In the American Magazine appeared
an article about William butcher, who
did more than any other American to
awaken people to the cruelty and stu
pidity of slaughtering beautiful and
useful birds. He and others finally
succeeded in having laws passed so
far-reaching that they changed the
whole aspect of millinery. In the hard
struggle Mr. butcher sacrificed his
health. Following is an extract from
the article about him:
Nothing ever tired or discouraged
him Ending days work in his Of
flee, he would jump on train to go
and do another harder days work be-
fore midnight among the legislators at
Albany. Politicians lived in terror of
this bird crank The aigrette trade,
which he fought from the first, spiked
his guns when it could with a paid
lobby. He got hard knocks and many
defeats, but in 1910 his efforts were
crowned with success when the EN-
pire state passed the plumage law for
bidding the sale of the white badge of
cruelty
HE never wearied of preaching the
great value Of insectivorous birds to
agriculture; yet the farmers and fruit
growers of the, United States probably
never will realize how much his labors
benefited them.3 He cared not feath-
er's weight wh0 got the glory for any
Of his work, soslong as it was accom-
plished Even the millinery dealers
and the game hog while they fought
his reforms, admitted his unselfish-
ness. There was nothing he would
not do for anyone who showed the
slightest interest in his hobby"

OF course, the extensive use Of wood

in enormous quantities in the fibrous

all vegetable tissues, in which it ex-

Attorney. General OF Kentucky Says
Those Who Figure On LoophOles
VIII BE Disappointed.

Frankfort, KY, March 20.~-Attor-

statement given out by Governor
Stanley that. the Sunday-closing laws
In Kentucky would be vigorously en-
forced. 1.-THE men In the liquor bust

''If they figure on ioopholes to es-

ed. for the Governor has said he

Attorney Thomas p. Crothers. New

General Logan to eonstrue that Sec
ton of the law which imposes the
duty upon the Sheriff to enforce the

that portion of the bill.

Attorney General Logan told them
the sheriff would be called on to en-
force the law In the city only when
the Mayor and Chief of Police failed
or refused to do their duty. or when
complaint was made directly to
the sheriff by affidavit.
Attorney General Logan will con-
strue the law in detail. He was asked
to construe the law in writing, as the
mayors. chiefs of police and other
officers In cities in which liquor is
sold, seek to know what their full
duty will be. The only prosecuting
officers mentioned in the law are the

ton has wasted away poor violetta, and
that she cannot live more than a few
hours, the frst-night audience was
thrown into a state of uproarious glee as
they looked upon her healthy figure And
when she arose with assistance to take
few enfeebled steps and fell down on
the stage and could not be lifted up
again even with the united assistance of
her fellow artists the performance ended
at once. Even the quick descending cur
tain did not end the ridicule that lasted
for months whenever Traviata was men
toned.
The spectacle of Juliet severely test
ing the strength of a stage balcony while
leaning lovingly toward her Romeo, or
a Madam Butterfly cavorting her 225
pounds of temperamental pathos about
the stage have long been familiar
spectacles to operagoers.
However, avoirdupois is not the only
thing that grand opera audiences have
had to close their eyes to and listen
raptly through the soul" To see an
ancient and honorable member of the
order of prima donnas coauetting
through the part of a supposedly eight
een-year-old Marguerite in Faust" or a
seventeen-year-old Gilda in "Rigoletto''
is not conducive to the dramatic verity of
a performance nor to the highest pleas
ure of the audience
The modern audience is not so in
clined to accept these incongruities as
were our fathers and grandfathers. The
women of grand opera, who have found
The Washington herald., 1916-02-06

the greatest favor in the last decade are
those whose personal charm is as great
as their vocal. Garden, Teyte Farrar,
Lyme and Cavalieri are typical examples.
Ryszard Ordynski, the noted Russian
stage director, who produced the won
derful play "Sumurun" in this country
and who has been one of the leading
members of a distinguished group who
have given new life to the drama in
Europe, advances the argument that
grand opera is dramatic as we'll as
musical.
Being an art form combining drama
and music, he says, it is not a perfect
presentment unless it's dramatic half is
considered as important as its musical
half. In other words, the eye and the
mental sense of fitness should be satisfied
as we'll as the musical ear, or else it is
not complete art form but a mongrel
When he was engaged as regisseur
general, or in other words stage artistic
and dramatic director, of the Boston
grand opera company, he made stipula-
tiOns according to these advanced ideals
with the management. In Max Rabinoff,
managing director of the organization
and of the Pavlowa imperial Russian
ballet, which has been merged with it in
one company, he found a man entirely in
accord with his ambitions in this re-
spect.
AS a result their various operas are
cast with a view to the physical and
mental fitness of the singers assigned to
the leading parts, assuming that they
shall, of course, be musically and vocally
up to their assignments as we'll
