in that region to keep me busy as long as l care to stay by the egret hunting business But everywhere ln the re- gions I have been in and have ever heard about a rapidly growing scarcity of egrets is evident.
 'I am sure that in a dozen years or more, if the fashion for feathers Tn women's millinery prevails as now, there will be very few egrets left on the west coast of the whole western continent. I have talked with men who used to hunt egrets and herons i'll the marsh lands and bays of Peru the United States of Colombia, and Ecuador for the Paris and other Euro pean markets, and they tell me that the birds have been so thoroughly wiped out down that way that it is loss of time and money to try to get a living by hunting egrets or herons.
 "Egret feathers are now sold entirely by weight When I went into get ting the feathers as a business l sold them at so much plume, and so much for smaller or discolored feathers. The Parisian milliners, who rule the orna- mental feather market of the world. make and unmake all the fashions, and create demands in our line of busi- ness, began to buy egret and heron feathers by the ounce, and that prac- tice was quickly followed by New York and Philadelphia ornamental feather dealers Under the Mckinley tariff law there is duty of 10 per cent ad

valorem on all my egret feathers sent to New York, but now they are ad- mitted free of duty, and We hunters get the 10 per cent difference. The price for my feathers depends upon the con- dition of the stock and the manner and place in which I market it. l have to take several things into considera- tion in selling a seasons shooting of some 5000 or s4000 worth of egret feathers.
 If I go to the City of Mexico and wait for buyer from Paris l may get SPA an ounce for plumes and $9 an ounce for egret fe-thers. If send the stock to New York or San Francisco l get BPS an ounce for my plumes, if l am dealt with fairly, and from $9 to $ll for the common feathers.
 Years ago I used to have some tough experiences with some of the whole sale feather dealers of New York, but now that I have learned to know my men and have made a reputation for my wares I seldom get cheated. In 1884 I lost a whole seasons harvest of feathers and plumes, amounting to $45O0, because of a rascally buyer in Philadelphia.
 "Soled egret feathers and plumes are dyed and then used on millinery goods. The least discoloration of the milky whiteness of an egret plume will bring its value down from 30 to 50 per cent. When feather buyer looks over fine feathers he uses large magnifying

 Orleans a few months later. Our next door neighbor was wholesale milliner, and he said he would buy such stun for s5 for each plume and take all could get 1 could have easily got ana brought home over 500 such heron plumes, and of course, l resolved to go back to Central America the very next year to hunt egret feathers. That Is how I came to get into this business.
 ''The first two years 1 was hunting down in Yucatan and Honduras cleared, over and above expenses and my living, the sum of S6OOo, but that was when there was no one who competed with me in egret hunting, ex- cept a lot of lazy, stupid drunken na- tives of Central America. and there were thousands of egretS more in those days than now. On some days used to get as many as twenty herons or egrets, and have never found'any oc- equation so profitable as getting thirty of more egrets a week at about S4 for each of their plumes and feathers.
 Where do hunt now? Off the west coast of Mexico, near Tepec and Slna- loa. I hunted for fifteen years in every part of Central America, and had the natives work for me at times, so We made the birds mighty scarce down there before we got through. l began hunting down in the Gulf of California and later in the bays and lagoons on the Pacific Ocean side of Mexico lr 1888, and believe there's enough birds

 Talk about the artifice and skill of duck and squirrel hunting! Why, both are boys play by the side of shooting egrets or herons for a living.

 "EgretS seem to almost smell the presence of man with gun. know of no decoy that could be used with egrets or herons, but even if 1t could once be used, that would be the last or that trick in that locality, for by some sort of freemasonry all the birds family and cousins for miles around would be warned of the deluSion.
 When we go out for fortnight or a months shoot we never leave our boats even for an hour. We get our birds either at early evening or at the first break of day. We seldom get birds at evening and then the follow ing dawn, for at the report of gun every heron or egret in the region flies straight away, and will not come back to that particular spot for four or five days. Even then they return with won- derful caution. So we move from one part of a bay or lagoon to another at midday, when the birds are off feed

Some Unwritten History.

During the unpleasantness of the war be-
tween the States, men on both sides did
deeds of valor, sometimes through reckless
bravery-at other times by accident. The
following was a case of accident
In 1868, Prof. Henry l.. Farmer, we'll
known in Roanoke and throughout South
west Virginia, was attached to Gen. VIM.
Jacksons staff as bugler. In nthe campaign
of Gen. Grant from Memphis through
Mississippi, where he was trying to get IN
behind Virksburg, the cavalry had any
amount Of hard duty and hard fighting,
In one of the raids lot of Federal soldiers
were discovered and Gen. Jackson ordered
his escort to charge them, Prof. Farmer
sounded the charge and the Confederates
rushed pell nell at the enemy. The roads
forked and Mr.. Farmer, who had dlscov-
cred another squad of blue coats rushed on
toward them, fourishing his pistol, which
was an old S-inch cap and ball Colt. Look
ING back to his dismay he found that the
charging party had taken the other road
and he was left alone. The federals were
down in a cut on the railroad and could
not see who was on the hill above. Mr.
Farmer felt that to run was certain death,
so he rode to the edge of the cut and Or
dered the men to surrender, lay down
their guns and march out of the cut. Be-
ing entirely demoralized they accepted his
proposition, marched out and surrendered
to man, BY this time Gen. Jackson had
come on the ground and Mr.. Farmer
turned his prisoners, 81, oyerto him; He
does not like to tell the yarn, nevertheless
it is true, and the boys were in a habit un-
til the close of the war of joking him on
his bravery; but Mr.. Farmer says it might
have been bravery, but after it was all
over hewas the worst scared man in the
Confederate army. The above is no "war
tale'' but an actual fact, which can be yer-
ifed by his old Memphis comrades. .-Roa-
noke Times.
Mr.. Farmer is well known to the people
of Tazewell, and the editor has for years
known that he was gallant soldier as well
as splendid gentleman.

AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.
The Word "PocahOntas" Cannot Be Ap-
propriated As a Trade Mark.

1t will be remembered that last Spring
Castner & Curran sued out an injunction
before Judge Jno. J. Jackson, United
States Judge for the district of West Vir-
gina, restraining w. FL. Coffman, of Blue
field, from using the words "Pocahontas
Smoleless Coal' in connection with the
Goals he was selling from the Browning
and other mines. The contention Of Cast
ner IL Curran was, that they had adopted
the word 'Pocahontas" as trade mark,
and that Coffman was infringing upon their
rights by its use.
Cofman made the usual motion before
Judge Jackson for dissolution of the in
junction, but the motion was denied and
the injunction perpetuated. Thereupon
Coffman took an appeal to the United
States Court of Appeals, and on Tuesday,
the 3rd inst, that court reversed the de-
cision of Judge Jackson and dismissed
Castner & Curran's bill.
Messrs. Henry &; Graham, of this place,
were counsel for Coffman, and the leading
point which they made was that 'Poca-
hontas" was geographical name so far as
its use in the connection with the Goals of
the Flat Top region was concerned, and
that, therefore, it could not be adopted and
used by one person or firm as trade
mark to the exclusion of other persons. 1t
seems that the appellate court has held
with the views of Nessrs. Henry & Graham
Castner & Curran were represented by
Mr.. Arthur von Brelson, of New York,
and Messrs. J. Walter Douglas and Henry
E. Everding, of Philadelphia. The case is
one Of far-reaching Importance and its con-
cluson has been looked for with very great
interest by all the coal mining interests of
the Flat Top region.

Sad Accident and Death.

On Tuesday of last week Mrs. J. H.
Richeson, of North Tazewell, fell and
fractured the short bone in one of her
hips, and on Saturday evening she died as
a result of the injury. The deceased was
50 years old, was member ofthe Mission
airy Baptist Church ard was a woman Of
sterling Christian character. She is sur
vived by her husband, two sons and two
daughters. When the accident occurred
which caused Mrs. Richeson's death she
was assisting in preparing the burial robes
of her friend and neighbor, Mrs. 7. X.
Hall.
No fears were entertained at the begin
ming that the injury would result fatally,
and few minutes before death came she
was bright and cheerful and had just
eaten her dinner 1t is thought that she
made sudden movement which produced
such accute pain that death was produced
by a nervous shock.
Funera! services were held al the church
at North Tazewell on Sunday afternoon at
three o'clock, conducted by Rev. l. p.
Martin of the Methodist Church. The
remains we're buried in the new cemetery.

DEWEY HAS POWDER TO BURN,
The Commodore's Fleet Well Equipped
for a Long Contest.

Washington, May 2.-Naval bureau
chiefs, who have charge of equipping the
fleets with ammunition and coal, say that
Commodore Deweys engagement does not
deplete his stock of projectiles, powder,
coal and other n cessary supplies to any
serious extent. 1t is known that the ships
had full coal bunkers when they left Hong
Kong, aud it is said that no matter how
great the consumption of fuel has been,
much more than half remains. This will
give an ample supply for many days, even
weeks.
The same confident feeling is held by
officials of the Bureau of Ordnance as to
ammunition. No matter how great was
the fire of the American ships, it is said
that the stock Of ammunition is ample.
The Asiatic squadron had good supply
of ammunition in the place. Then the
cruiser Baltimore carried an additional
large stock of projectiles and powder,
about six weeks ago. Thus Commodore
Dewey has a reserve Of powder and shot
which makes him safe against any contin-
gency.

WE MAY INVADE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Plans Adopted For the Dispatch of a
Military Force There.

Washington, May 3.-The administra-
ton has considered the problem Of hold
ing the Philippines. The seriousness OF
the task, with European nations jealousy
wathing affairs in the East, is appreciated:
There is danger Of being unable to control
the Philippine insurgents with the small
force of men under Commodore Dewey
available for shore duty to guard Manila
and other places.
In the absence of advices from Dewey,
however, nothing can be done now except
to have everything in preparation for rem
dering him assistance.
1t was agreed by the cabinet to wait for
Dewey's report. Agreement at the Cabi-
net meeting was unanimous that Dewey
should have as many troops rs are needed
10000 if necessary.
The Cabinet formulated general plans
for the dispatch of military f1rce to the
Philippine Islands at once, provided de-
velopments warrant such step. There
was no disposition on the part of the Pres
ident and his advisers to adopt any half
way measures.

great victory and call it the annihilation
of the Spanish fleet in the Philippines.
SITUATION REGARDED HOPELESS.
Spanish Populace wreaking Vengeance
on Their Statesmen.

Madrid, May 2.-The spirit of false Ella
ton prevailing yesterday based on the
ministerial misrepresentation regarding
the battle at Manila has yielded to great
indignation now that the true facts are
known. The people have become fully
aware that the Spanish squadron has been
lost and the situation is hopeless. They
expect momentarily to hear that Manila
has been captured.
The continued Withholding of the whole
truth and the losses sustained are goading
the populace into a dangerous temper. EX-
hortations to calmness only increase impa-
tience.
The public, realizing how they have been
hamboozled, seek for scapegoat, and Mo-
ret, the minister ofthe colonies, has been
chosen as the victim. Mobs today have
repeatedly tried to assail Moret's house
and only have been prevented by strong
free of police. Similar precautions have
been taken at the residences of other min
isters and the government buildings.
Troops are kept in barracks subject to or
ders.
