b Child Labor Bill Doomed.
The child labor bill introduced in the
Legislature on February 8 is from all in
dications doomed to die in the hands of
the committee to which it was submitted.
“It is both significant and pitiful,”
•aye the Newark “News," “that a bill
•f such importance, so humane in its pur
pose, so fully in accord with successful
and beneficent laws of other progressive
States, and so necessary to the fulfilment
Of the State’s duty toward helpless chil
dren, should be unduly delayed and im
periled. Nor is it less pitiful that the
femes that would reasonably be expect
ed do be-massed in its bebalf allow tliem
gelves to be divided and weakened by di
veruitiee of opinion on minor points.
Legislators dony that they are opposed
to the bill and insist that they merely
<wteh to strengthen and not to weaken it;
bat their actions and their utterances do
•or run parallel.
Another suspicious suggestion is.-found
In the fa at that the lowest hmd of criti
cism is indulged to to destroy faith in the
measure. A State paper, with ability for
nobler work, declares that it was “drawn
by m country lawyer”; that it is “very
cumbrous”; fibat Ks “political effect is
mot exactly understood”; that the matter
of child labor has been agitated strenu
ously by “labor men and yellow jour
nala,” and that tbe bill, though based on
haneet intentions, is “loaded.” Such
phraseology is oertainly more retaliatory
than judioioue; more revengeful than con
siderate of the welfare of the child .work
ers in this State."

presented:—
To the all too scantt-list of,successes
of the present theatrical* season it is a
jfleasure to record an addition in "The
Secret of Poliehinell#,’' a French comedy
by Pierre WoMf, produced last night at
the Madison Sq'Uare The»tre by Ml.
James K. Hackett, aid;with Mr. Will
iam H. Thompson in tbs leading role.
An audience which included all the
*
veteran first nighters of the city laughed
and even furtively wiped away forbidden
tears at the alternating wholesome hu
mor and true and tender pathos of the
delightful little play.
It is seldom that an imported Frnch
farce, and one that it can be plainly seen
must 'be too broad in the original for
the English stage, is so cleverly trans
lated and adapted, for last night’s pro
duction, while it has spice and a fillip
of suggestion, is sweet and wholesome
in its natural, well told story, and can
be safely seen and enjoyed by youths
and maids.
The piece as adapted revolves on the
provision of Che French law which for
bids the marriage of children without
their parents’ consent while under the
age of twenty-five, and which also re
fuses to legalize such marriages contract

On this pivot, which differs from the
story of the French original, as can
easily be imagined, the tale of the love
of a doting, typical, blustering and hon
est old Frenchman and his still pretty
and charming wife, 6rst for their young
son and second for his working girl wife,
whom he has married secretly in Eng
land, and for the little grandson, the re
sult of this union, revolves.
The piece is exceptionally well cast
and is delightfully played. Mr. Thomp
son as the father and grandfather was
capital and interpreted his part so nat
urally and with such genuine feeling and
expression as to capture the audience
from his first entrance.
Miss Florence Conron, who played the
young wife, scored one of the hits not
only of the piece but of the season. It
is a long time since, sueh a simple, true
and tender bit of acting as was hers in
the second act has fteen seen on New
York boards.
Mr. J. W. Ferguson as a mutual friend
was also unusually good, and his scene

ball, who also scored, brought down the
house. Miss Harriet Dellenbaugh was
farming as the grandmother, and Miss
Katherine Keyes was an amusing and
typical French ingenue. Mr. Frank Pat

the rest of the caat was acceptable.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
“Everybody's Magazine ’ for March
Timeliness is only half the problem in
good magazine making. The real
achievement is to have the subject of
the moment treated by the man who
knows most about it. For instance,
there hare been hundreds of sketches of
the Tsar of Russia, the paramount figure
in the world at the moment. In the
February number of “Everybody’s Mag
azine” there is a character study of the
Muscovite autocrat by Arnold White,
the well known English publicist, who is
one of the few men outside the Em
pire familiar with the conditions actually
prevailing in Russian court circles. In
the same number is an article on “J.
Pisrpont Morgan's Word as an Asset,”
which explains the genesis and develop
ment of the great power wielded by the
eminent financier, and frankly discusses
the degree to which recent events have
impaired his prestige. The writer is E.
J. Edwards (Holland}, dean of the New
York correspondents, who enjoys a
more intimate acquaintance with the big
men of Wall street than any of his con
temporaries.
A third instance of the union of time
liness and authority is found in Q. K.
Davis's article about Taft and the Fili
pinos. Mr. Davis represented "The
Sun” in both Philippine campaigns, and
knows just what great things the new
Secretary of War was able to effect
with the little brown men Who are the
latast Americans.
These three articles are as entertain
ing as they are valuable, and, reinforced
by nine first class stories and a num
ber of interesting contributions on other
subjects, make up an extraordinary bud
get of reading matter for ten cents.
“Woman’s Home Companion” for
March,
The “Woman’s Home Companion” is
especially notable for the timeliness and
general interest of its articles. The
March number contains as its chief fea
ture a double page of photographs of
“Flying Machines” and an aocount of
the coming contest at St. Louis. Other
equally timely features are “Colonial
Dames of America,” “Wireless Energy,
the Wonder of the Twentieth Century,”
and “The Coming War,” by Hudson
Maxing. Ernest Harold Baynes writes
about “Owls,” Mrs. Will H. Jmw tells
housewives how the French cook meats,
Miss Gonld, (the fashion expert, gives
hints of spring fashions.
“Medical Talk” for March.
These are the special features in the
March “Medical Talk”:—“Home Recre

ROBINS’BEST
_ FRIEND
Frank M. Chapman, the
Distinguished Ornitholo
gist Speaks in Their
Defense.
THE STATE’S DEBT TO THEM
As Destroyers of Insects They
Are General Benefactors—
Audubon Society's
Work.
“ Asong bird does more good alive
than dead.”
With these words Frank M. Chapman,
of Englewood, the distinguished orni
thologist, who is associate curator in the
department of mammalogy and orni
thology of the American Museum of Nat
ural History, summarized, the other day,
his comment on the crusade on robins,
meadow larks and other members of the
feathered tribe now being waged in New
Jersey. Mr. Chapman speaks not only as
a lover of birds, but as an authority on
their habits. Ht is convinced that,
granting the robins damage fruit, the
service they render by devouring insects
puts the State in debt to them. As a
member of the Audubon Society of New
Jersey he has drawn up a statement giv
ing the reasons why the proposed legis
lation should not be enacted, and has
been instrumental by circulating the
largely signed petition designed to influ
ence the lawmakers in the mater. He
has spared neither time nor effort in
emphasizing the side of the case to
which he gives his adherence.
To understand fully Mr. Chapman's
championship of his winged friends, one
must review his life work, and this can
best be done either in his Englewood
home or in the American Natural Muse
um, Central Park West, New York City,
where his working hours are spent amid
the second largest collectio nof birds in
this country. It was at the latter place
that a “Sunday News” representative
found him last week. The call was
prompted by Mr. Chapman’s stand on
the anti-robin measures introduced at
Trenton, and by the publication of Mr.
Chapman's latest woTk, “Color Key to
North American Birds.” This book, than
which ther is no more practical guide to
bird identification, will serve to increase
its author’s influence to a marked de
gree. It is put forward with the idea
of helping the bird lover to name birds
in their natural habitat and so of de
veloping a new interest in nature. The
naming of birds is the first step in orni
thology, and, this tsep taken, the result
ing acquaintance will prove to be more
and more of a delight.
“Perhaps the only way to tell you
when my liking for birds began,” Mr.
Chapman remarked, “is to say that I can
not remember a time when I did not like
them. As a boy of seven years I started
a collection of feathers, and I was always
eager to get into the woods where I might
have the companionship of songsters. I
can never wholly express my feeling of
thankfulness that I was brought up in
the country with Buch surroundings as
were to be found and are now to be found
in New Jersey. I never return to Engle
wood from my travels without an increas
ed appreciation of its beauty. It is an
ideal spot for a man engaged in my
work.”
Mr. Chapman has, by .the way, the sat
isfaction, which is rarely enjoyed' by men
of mature years in this day of change, of
living in the house where he was born.
His father, Lebbeus Chapman, Jr., came
to Englewood when there were but eight
dwellings in the community. The family
estate, of about forty acre*, is in one of
the most attractive parts of the region.
The house, embowered in trees, is on
Teaneck Ridge, about a mile north of the
William Walter Phelps mansion, and the
Chapman land adjoins the Phelps land.
Here Mr. Chapman lives winter, summer
and fall. In the spring, during the nest
ing season of birds, he makes his trips
for the purpose of nature study and col
lection. He and Ernest Thompson Seton
are warm friends. Mr. Seton illustrated
Mr. Chapman’s "Bird-Life,” and they
have made several journeys together, no
l>y ;
tabjy; to Manitoba, Mr. Seton’s old stamp
jug iground, '-which he has made famous
in his "Trail of the Sandtill Stag.”
Many of Mr. Chapman’s investiations
are carried on in New Jersey. At En
glewood lie is “at home” to his bird
friends, and the number of his visitors
increases year to year. His list of Engle
wood birds includes 200 species. “Every
thing is done to invite them,” he says,
and the remark is literally true. Cer
tainly, birds can have no occasion to ca
vil at the hospitality extended on Mr.
Chapman’s grounds. There they can find
shelter, if they are disposed to take it;
there the food they lige best is provided
for them, and there even the luxuries of
bird life, such as a bathing pavillion, are
provided. It is no wonder that the birds
return season after season, bringing with
them those thought worthy of entrance
into this Jersey paradise for the Creatures
of the air.
Mr. Chapman is not afraid' of having
the birds steal his fruit; in fact, the fruit
on his place is intended for the birds.
The bird bath which lie has constructed
is, perhaps, the greatest inducement that
he has to offer his transient and perma
nent guests, andl the patronage it receives
shows how much it is appreciated.
Birds of many families, from warblers
and tanagers to flycatchers and owls, fre
quent its waters. It is eight feet in
length and four in width, and the depth,
which is three feet at the centre of the
bath, is carefully graded from the sides,
so that the smallest birds need have no
more water than iB good for them, while
the big birds can have all the wator they
want. The bath is kept fresh and clean
by the constant flow of a fountain. Water
plants for it have not been forgotten. Mr.
Chapman’s careful selection, including
the sagittaria, blue iris, yellow pond lily,
wild rice, cat-tall and water hyacinth.
The bath is on the lawn about forty feet
from the house, and is well surrounded
with shrubbery to which the bathers may
retire, if they are so disposed to make
their toilets.
Mr. Chapman’s extensive knowledge of
birds has its foundation in observation,
as all practical knowledge of the sort
must, and he lias not let a year go by
without adding to his fund of information
by researches in some special field. His
travels have been chiefly in America.
Among his trips which have been most
important in results are journeys to Man
itoba, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Mexico,
Yucatan, Cuba and Trinidad. He has
visited all parts of the United* States and
has made a special study of the West
Indies. One of his chief objects is to get
pictures of birds, a branch of photo
graphy in which he is an expert. His
colection of bird pictures runs up into the
thousands, and is of remarkable interest
and value. For his lectures Mr. Chap
man has about 2.COO slides, which have
been exquisitely colored by his mother,
the work being done in part at her Flor
ida home. Mr. Chapman will start soon
for Florida, to observe the nesting habits
of the rarer birds of that clime, and later
wiil go to the Bahamas, to study the
nesting habits of the flamingo.
The ornithologist's journeyings are
carefully planned. On account of his
position in the American Museum of
Natural History and his well known
identification with the Audubon societies
he is in constant correspondence with
bird lovers all over the country, and in
many foreign lands. By this means he
is able to keep in touch with discoveries
of interest in a wide area and to give
his personal attention to what seems
worth while. In Florida ther are su
perior facilities for investigation. The
Audubon Society ther is large and its
members are enthusiastic. The society
owns a naptha launch for use among the
Keys, and employs a warden* who sees
that birds are not destroyed illegally.
Mr. Chapman expressed himself as
greatly encourage dover the progress
made by the Audubon societies national
ly. “We have helped to create a senti
ment in favor of the birds,” he said,
“and this sentimen is leading to more
effective measures for protection in many
States. Our clerical work, which has
greatly increased of recent years, is an
indication of the growth, of the move

ment. In this department alone we have
more than can be attended to with our
present force, and we could expend more
money to great advantage. People are
realizing more and more that birds not
only please the eye and ear. and so are
valuable, aesthetically, but also that
by far the greater number of them are
good friends of humanity and exist in
nature’s providence, for definite purposes
in checking undesirable vegetation
through the destruction of weeds’ seeds
and in killing off noxious insects. This
campaign of bird education has been im
mensely helped by our nature- writers,
who have stimulated interest in one of
the most beautiful parts of creation. The
list of authors who have aided materi
ally in making nature study popular is
long, and when almost every one is
identified with a particular line it is
difficult to mention those whose work
has counted in a marked degree. I
would instance John Burroughs, Ernest
Seton Thompson, Bradford Torrey. the
late Frank Belles, Olive Thorne Miller,
Mabel Osgood Wright and Florence
Merriam Bailey.”
An important part of the “campaign
of bird education" has been played by
Mr. Chapman himself. The ornithologist
is loath to speak of his own activities
in this direction, but his books and the
magazine, “Bird Lore,” of which he was
the originator and is still the editor, show
in a measure what he has accomplished.
He has given popular lectures on birds
for ten years, the addresses including a
Lowell Institute course, the only talks
of the kind that have ever been given in
the Institute course, so far as is known.
His works include “Bold Life: a Guide
to the Study of Our Common Birds,”
“Handbook of Birds of Eastern North
America,” “Bird Studies with a Cam
era,” “The Economic Value of Birds to
the State,” the recently published “Color
Key to North American Birds,” and a
great number of technical papers. He is
associate editor of “The Auk,” and fre
quently contributes papers on birds and
mammals to the periodicals. “Bird
Lore," which is now in its sixth volume,
is the official organ of the Audubon so
cieties. Mr. Chapman’s interest in the
magazine is shown by the fact that the
year it was started he removed the pub
lication office to his Englewood home and
conducted it there for twelve months.

M™. Chapman had jharge, was attended j
to in the ornithologist’s residence. Mr. ]
Chapman has been a Fellow of the
American Ornithologists’ Union since
1888. and in 1897 he was elected presi
dent of the Linaenn Society of New
York. He is also one of -the four Amer
ican members of the British Ornitholo
gists’ Union.
It was in 1887 that Mr. Chapman be
came curator in the department of or
nithology and mammology of the Amor- I
ican Museum of Natural History. To
the museum he has transferred his own |
thousand specimens, and he has given evi
collection of birds, including about a
thousand specimens, and he has given
evidence of his devotion to the institution
in many other ways. The museum’s
wonderfully natural exhibits of bird life
on a large scale are features to which he j
has given much time and effort. The lat- j
est developments in this interesting line j
are the artistic representations of actual
scenes on the “Bird Rock” in the gulf of
St. Lawrence and on the Virginia sand
dunes. When in the San Joaquin valley
last year Mr. Chapman had for a com
panion Charles J. Hittel, the artist, of
San Francisco, who was commissioned
by the museum to paint a picture which
should serve as a background for a scene
showing bird life in the irrigated sections
of California. Mr. Hittel's canvas has
just arrived at the museum, and Mr.
Chapman will soon superintend its being
put in position.
Enthusiasm is the keynote of the or
nithologist’s work in its many divisions,
and to this enthusiasm no small part of
his success i due. Hi unremitting activ
ity is the activity that comes from love
of an occupation to which he is eminent
ly suited.
