butchery to the winds, and sing out the
words of pity and of mercy that will let
our song friends live.
lover five million birds are massacred
each year to plume the hats of womankind.
Terms from Cape Cod, black cartridges,

will boot at the Tamil and the Sinhalese for
Sitting their nostris for the insertion of

harmless carrolers that plumes may dance
from their bonnets.
In the case of the kittiwake, the pluma ge
is taken at a season when the birds have
hardly learned TO fly, and it is usual to tear
off the wings while the bird lives. Then
there is another side to the question. A
great deal of arsenic is used in the prepar-

danger. A more important aspect of the

THE PARTIES UNKNOWN.
The Jury Found Who Was RESPONSE.
BILE for JOnes' Death.

Coroner Woodward held an inquest yes
terday afternoon over the body of Thomas
c. Jones, who was found dead Tuesday
morning at the house of Francis Leonard,
10 H street southwest, and, after a careful
investigation, the jury found that the man
came to his death as a result of a fracture
of the skull inflicted at the hands of parties
unknown to the jury. The inquest brought
out some rather curious testimony, and the
case was complicated by the fact that
Leonard had told two conflicting stories of
the incidents connected with Jones death.
Officer knopfer, who was patrolling the
vicinity of Leonards house the night of the
death, is investigating. and should he I'M
earth any further facts the coroner will re-
open the case.
Jones, who was sixty-seven years old and
a hard-working man, in the employ of the
District, lived at Leonard'S house and gro
Gerry store Jones was soldier for over
twenty-five years. The officers finally re-
fused to re-enlist him because of his age.
He member in good standing of John
A. Rawlins Post, GAR, and was Mason.
