MRS. PAUL JARBoE ILL.
Her Husband, Accompanied by 9
Physician, Journeying to
Meet Her

The many friends of Mrs. Paul r Jar
Doe will be panied 10 learn that she Is
returning from the East in a state OF
health so serious that her husband has
engaged the services of a physician, with
whom he has left TO meet his wife at
Winnemucca-
From the meager reports that arrived
last evening it was impossible 10 tell just
the extent of Mrs. JarbOe's illness, but
enough was learned TO give rise TO the
greatest apprehension and 10 cause her
husband untold anxiety.
Some six or seven weeks ago Mrs. Jar
Doe and her sister, Mrs. Joseph ID. TObin.
left for a trip TO New York, which was
taken with the double purpose Of doing
their winter shopping in New York and
giving Mrs. Jarboe, who had not been in
the best of health for some time before,
the benefits which II was hoped would
follow a change OF air and scene.
Since her departure nothing but the
most encouraging reports have been re-
ceiyed by her family, and consequently
the news that she has been taken so Sc
riously i'll that she will probably be
obliged to lay off at some point along the
line and put herself under the care of a
physician comes in the nature OF a COM
plete surprise. which is as disquieting as
1t is unexpected.

GULL KILLING STOPPED.
Women's Hats Will Have No More
Sea Fowl Quills on Them.

The recent fashion of wearing long
feather in the up-to-date female head
covering has attracted the attention or
the officers Of the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals, who were
curious TO know from what particular
kind OF oird the long quilts come. There
were turkey and geese feathers and a few
that might have once been part of the
makeup of eagles and hawks. but the
most common quilts turned out TO be the
feathers Of the seagulls. The question
arose as TO where these feathers were
coming from, and the mystery was solved
yesterday by the statement OF DR.. G. b.
Case, secretary of the Marin County
branch of the organization. DR.. Case
learned that there was a man making
business of slaughtering seagulls near
Sausalito for the San Francisco market.
The long feathers of the wings were kept
intact 10 be used upon the golf and
soldier hats of the ladies of this city,
while the birds heads and plumage were
converted into various shaped ornaments
for the milliner TO use. DR.. Case stated
that one man, ChriStianson AUX, had
monopoly OF the business, and was max
ing considerable money by killing these
harmless and useful sea fowls at the
price OF 10 cents each. Whether improper
use was made of the carcaSSeS of the
cents gave the hunter a good profit on
his efforts. DR. Case determined to put
stop to this business. and on Wednes-
day he arrested the man. and prosecuted
him under the very broad Marin County
game ordinance, which covers all kinds
Of birds excepting pests and game birds
In the open season. AUX pleaded guilty
and was glad to escape as easily as he
did, the punishment being light on ac
count of the mans age. He at once COM
municated to a number of crab fisher
men the experience he had with the
officers Of the society, and the entire crew
pulled up stakes and moved out of the
county. II seems that they also had been

BOTH CHARGE CRUELTY.
Troubles of the Skivingtons Aired
Before Judge Daingerfeld.


The marital woes Of John +. SlSiyington
foreman OF the Risdon Iron Works. and
his wife. Anna NJ. Skivington, were thor
oughly ventilated in Judge Daingerfield's S
court yesterday. Mrs. Skivington is suing
her husband for divorce on the ground of
cruelty, II being alleged by her that two
years after their marriage, which occur
red IN 1873. her husband began his cruel
treatment Of her by blackening her ewes
and has continued TO add TO her physical
suffering ever since. In his cross-com.
plant Mr.. Sdvington charges that his
wife has inflicted great mental suffering
on him by her many studied acts of
cruelty. He charges that she habitually
struck him with a wet towel and one day
made an assault upon his life with a fat
iron.
During the trial OF the case yesterday
Mrs. Shvingtons side Of the story was
told and then Mr.. Skivington introduced
various letters in evidence in which Mrs.
Skivington told her husband that she
loved another and could keep house for
others and enjoy life more than she did
with him. The taking OF evidence was
not concluded at the close OF the sitting
and the case was continued until a fur
ther date.
