DUCKS DROWNED BY RAIN.
Shipping When Exposed to DownpOur.

Down in Fulton Market the other day a man exclaimed:
 q had tough luck on this trip. Five hundred of my geese and ducks were drowned"
 The words startled one whowas pass Ing, for he never heard of ducks and. geese being drowned. The speaker proved to be from Ohio and he had just arrived with two carloads of poul7 try for the New York markets, says the New York Times.
 How did they drown?" said he. "Why, they just drowned in the usual way"
 Noticing the puzzled expression on his listeners face, he laughed and said:
 "Well, I will tell you just what all shippers and dealers know, although I suppose others do not know so we'll. Ducks and geese are the hardest kinds of birds to ship, for after they have been without water for some time they are easily drowned. My lot was shipped, and when they almost reached here the train on which they were was
 
 ''I had to unload them on the side of the road and a storm came up. While was husting to get something to cover them with "a heavy rain began tot fall. I managed to cover large num- Der of crates before this happened, and the birds under cover escaped, but nearly every duck and goose out of cover was drowned
 ssThey had been long without water, and when the rain began to fall they thrust out their necks and guzzled it down, letting it run into their lungs until they keeled over. They will al ways 10 that, and the shipper is usual ly careful to keep the crates out of the rain until the birds have ben we'll wa tered.
 ''As for the philosophy of the thing I know nothing. never bothered my head about that. All I know is the actual facts. If you want scientific explanation you will have to go to some birdologist."
 When questioned, several poultry men said the drowning of ducks and geese was as we'll known to shippers, dealers, and breeders as the fact that a whole brood of young turkeys would drown in rainstorm if they were not driven to shelter

TVENTY-ONE KILLED|
Glasgow Collapse More Seri-
 ous Than First Reported
TWO HUNDRED SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Terrible At siden1 Occurred nt Tbrox Park Dms !ng the EngIish-scotca Football Match The Game
 Went on to the Finish.


 Went on to the Finish.
 GLASGOW, April 7.-The casualty lists of the Ibrox park disaster, when number of persons were killed or in- jured by the collapsing of specta- tors stand during the international football match Saturday afternoon be- tween England and Scotland, have been completed. They eclipse all the reports and estimates of the casualties which were early current.
 The disaster has resulted in the death of 21 persons and the injury of 250. Nearly POO of the latter were so seriously hurt that they were taken to infirmaries for operations and treat ment, where 150 of them still remain. A large proportion of the injured had limbs broken, their bodies crushed and mangled and their heads and faces gashed. Several more deaths will undoubtedly result from the most critical cases of fractured skulls.
 The infirmaries were besieged by relatives and friends of the victims of the disaster, and heartrending scenes were witnessed when the names of those who died were posted outside the buildings.
 The action of the authorities at IbrOx park in averting a more general panic by permitting the game to pro- ceed while they encouraged the im- precision of the crowd within the in closure that the accident was not so direful is now generally commended.
 The incongruity of the yells of ap- plause mingling with the groans of the struggling sufferers will never be forgotten by those who witnessed the scene at the rear of the terrace.
 When the game began, 70,O0O specta- tors were on the grounds, and an im- mense crowd had gathered outside Being unable to obtain admittance, this crowd broke down some of the barriers and swarmed upon the field, where upon the police charged and drove the intruders back upon the side stands, which were crowded with people. Men and women were thrown over each other. In the frantic struggle toward the exits the pressure toward the up- per portion of the westerly terrace was so great that 100 feet of the high est part of the structure collapsed un- der the weight of the crowd driven upon it, precipitating the mass of peo- pie to the ground, sixty feet below. The injured were piled in heaps, wedg- ed in with broken wood.

PLUMAGE AND JEWELRY.

Fancy feathers, says the Millinery
Trade Review, are of present first con-
sideration among the plumages in
vogue, with a fair promise for greater
use of ostrich feathers at a later date.
Large birds, large fiat wings, large
half-folded wings, and aigrettes of the
heron and of the king bird of para
disc, are extensively employed as the
objective garniture on rich models, and
the feather-cover hats are among
the present attractions in the millin-
cry houses that desire special attention.
The millinery ornaments which give
the finishing touch to elegant creations
of headwear run this season in rhine
stone and cut steel, with some show of
mock pearl, and greater favor of cut
ct than has been manifested for a
number of years. Large fiat caboch-
ons, bars and pins with large heads
are the conceits which seem newest in
collections, some of these showing in
device an intermixture of crystal, steel
and pearl.
Colors now spoken of as popular en-
brace the old-fa shioned cardinal and
ruby reds, old red and old rose, and
all tones of yellow, from rotten orange
to pale maize. Blue, in the matelot,
and the new automobile tones promises
to be continued, nor has fancy yet al
together wearied of the lively green's,
paon combinations still being seen.

of beautiful plumage, were plentiful:
and great fiocks of white cockatoos
frequented the rolling grassy downs
which lay between my home and the
German head station in Blanche Bay,
twenty miles distant, while the heavy
frost Of the littoral was the haunt OF
thousands of pigeons These pigeons,
though not so large as the Samoan or
an Eastern Polynasian bird, formed an
agreeable change of diet for us white
traders, and by walking about fifty
yards from ones door half dozen or
more could be shot in as many min

apparent enjoyment. The harbor at
this point being almost land-locked
and the water as smooth as glass and
without the faintest ripple. the birds
were enabled to drink without wetfing
their plunage. My neighbour, who had
lived many years in New Britain, told
me that this drinking of sea water was
common to both cockatoos and pigeons
6iike, and that on some occasions the
beaches would be lined with them, the
cockatoos not only drinking, but bath
ing, and apparently enjoying them
selves greatly. During the next SIX
months, especially when the weather
was calm and rainy. frequently no.
ticed pigeons and cockatoos come to
the salt water to drink.
AT first / thought that as fresh wa
ter in many places bubbIed up through
the sand at low tide the birds were
not really drinking the seq water, but
by watching closely I distinctly saw
them walk across these tiny tunnels
without making any attempt to drink.
Then, too, the whole Of the GazelIe
Peninsula is cut up by countless
streams of water, and rain falls
throughout the year as a rule. What
causes this unusual habit of drinking
sea water? Another popularity Of the
New Britain and New Ireland pigeon
is its fondness for the chill pepper ber-

CLUBMEN WATCHED BOXERS.
In Evening Suits They Saw Daley
and Dougherty Spar.

and DOugherty Spar.
Young clubmen, in the handsome
quarters of Tomochichi Club, saw pro-
fessional boxers give an exhibition last
night. Seated in easy wicker chairs or
lolling on comfortable lounges or set
tees, interested observers and enthu-
siastic applauders OF clever work, they
watched four rounds of sparring be-
tween Danny Dougherty and Andy
Daley.
Many of the members of the club
were on hand, attracted by the pro-
gramme that had been arranged by the
House Committee, of which Mr.. Clar-
ence G. Anderson is chairman. That
good judgment was displayed in the
selection of the form of entertainment
was shown by the numbers that
thronged the club rooms.
The boxing bout was but one OF the
features of the evenings entertain
ment. Rosenfelds orchestra, with
eight or ten pieces, rendered sweet mu-
sic. and after the bout lunch was
served
The sparring contest was held in the
library, where an innprovised ring af-
forded a space for the exhibition
Grouped about were the club men. No
professionals ever appeared before in
Savannah with quite so refined an au-
dience viewing their work. 50
recherche was the event that there
was a sprnkling of evening suits
among the spectators.
Four easy rounds, in quite an inn
promptu style, the boxers went. Stiff
punches were barred, and with open
gloves Danny and Andy spared. 1t
was good-natured work, and II was
only for points they tried. Now and
then some of the fancy tricks of the
ring were exhibited. and. on the whole,
1t was a pretty and clever exposition
Of the fighters art.
When the bout between Daley and
Dougherty was concluded, two of the
colored boys employed in the club Of
fered a contrast to the work of the
professionals. They caused no little
amusement during the few brief min.
utes they tried to shine as pugilists.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE AT Way
CROSS


Waycross, Ga, Nov. IA wedding
of a romantic nature occurred in this
city last night and was not made pub
lie until this morning. Mr.. Edward
A. Moore and Miss Mamie Mathis were
married at the Baptist Church par
sonage by Rev. W. H. Scruggs. The
couple intended to keep the fact Of
their marriage a secret for a few days,
but in some manner it leaked out this
morning. Neither Mr.. or Mrs. Mathis
knew of the marriage, and when noti-
fed of it at noon to-day refused TO
believe it, A short time later. how
ever Mr.. and Mrs. Moore acknowl-
edged that they were married.
The plans for the wedding was made
yesterday. Mr.. B. r. Shuford of
Gainesville, Fla, friend of the groom,
procured a marriage license, and early
last evening Mr.. Moore and Miss Ma
this left the Mathis residence on Jane
street. ostensibly to visit Miss Ollie In
man on Plant avenue. They met Mr.
Shuford, and Miss Inman and the
party went to the Baptist parsonage,
where the wedding ceremony was
quickly performed. After spending the
evening with Miss Inman, Mr.. Moore
accompanied his bride home. but no
one was informed of the marriage.
The bride is a very pretty young
lady, and only a short time ago re-
turned from college.
Mr.. Moore is a brother of Mr.. John
w Moore, manager of the Union News
Company in this city. He was formerly
an employee of the Atlantic Coast Line,
but a few days ago was appointed a
conductor on the Central Railroad. The
couple will leave in a few days for
Albany, Ca, where they will make
their future home.

Society's Gay Days Are Not Far

The first week of November has been
scarcely more than the prelude to So
ciety's gay season, a hint of what is
to come. Almost all the fashionable
houses are open once more, and, in
spite of the depressing weather of the
past few days the world has a busy
aspect of little time and much to do.
People are beginning to drop in of
an afternoon for an informal cup of
tea. Drawing rooms are wearing
their best winter bravery with an air
that invites sociability. Hostesses are
shaking out last winters chiffons with
half sigh over the good days gone,
and wondering if they may be worn
once more at a pinch. Devoted hus-
bands are removing stray moth balls
from the pockets of last years Tux

their burden. Erring bachelors are
squandering their substance on the
latest thing in frock coats. Pretty

TABLE DECORATION.

There is a perceptible decline for the
moment, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
in the popularity of cut flowers in ta-
BILE decorations. The favorite novelty
is a miniature landscape, somewhat
after the japanese fashion, with tiny
lakes of real water bearing small craft
of all sorts, and bordered with messy
banks and dwarf forests. Sometimes
the florist beds down the whole center
of the table with rare ferns, rooted, or
small towering plants. violets, pansies,
arbutus, etc. This is especially favor
ed for a woman's luncheon, as the
guests are permitted to gather bou-
quets during the last course as SOU
yenirs of the occasion.
