Origin- ov tiik Himane Society In Jlan-li, 1873, Orlando J. Ilodoe introduced in the citycouncil a i-esolution invitiner i)ersons interested in the toiniation of asociety for the iirotection of dunih animals to meet in the councilchamber at a tiuio specified. On the evenins: named, about a dozenmen responded and arrangements for a permanent organization weremade. On the foui-th of April, the Cleveland Society for the Preven-tion of Crueltv to Aninnds was fully organized with Jabez W. Pitch. Tiik Old Union Clubhouse as president and H. F. Rrayton as secretary. The scope of the societywas subsequently widened to include helpless children and mothersand its name was changed to the Cleveland Humane Society. Thebeneficent work of this now great society has been continuous to thepresent time. As a reward of merit, if for no other reason, it is properto record the fact that Colonel Hodge had previously introduced anordinance to prevent and punish cruelty to dumb animals whichordinance was by the city council in 1871—the first .steptaken liy the Cleveland lawmakers in that direction. Subsequently,as a member of the Ohio legislature, he introduced three bills for thebetter protection of children and dumb animals; all of the bills becamelaws. At his call, prominent men from various parts of the state metat Columbus and organized a state society for similar purposes. Palmam qui m
