Oscar Hymes is very much wanted
in more places than one notwith-

was sent to the penitentiary from

| for stealing a pair of opera glasses
and some money from the apartments
in the Buder block occupied by Mr..

rest at Louisville was published in
the Sun several days ago, is not
wanted in Paducah for bigamy, al
though the Louisville papers of yes

was wanted for bigamy." Hymes is
supposed to have married Paducah

Kate Sanborn Queries.

After speaking of vast piles of de-
caying carcasses of the herons, slain
for. their plumes and the thousands OF
young birds left to starve, all for the
sake Of securing the plumes for WON
ems hats, Mr.. Scott says: 81 wish
clearly to emphasize the fact that !
do not blame the women who use
these decorations, for men are the
responsible parties. No woman ever
wore a decoration of any kind, much
less the feather of bird, for her own
pleasure, or to attract the attention
of other women. The object for which
women wear decorations is to en-
nance their attractiveness and beauty
to men, not to themselves, or to each
other. And as long as men care to
have women's hats decorated with
feathers and express their approval
by admiration bestowed, just so long
will the custom endure"

According to information derived

the Japanese attacked the Russian po-
sition at Port Arthur during the night
of July 10. They were repulsed with
enormous loss. 1t is difficult to calcu-
late even approximately the number
of Japanese killed, which amounted,
it is said, to the immense figure of

Ostrich plucking is really not a
"plucking" but cutting" says a
writer In Country Life in America.
The ostrich Is coaxed into wedge
shaped Enclosure and small bag
drawn over his head, which renders
him unresisting. The large plumes
are carefully cut, leaving an inch OF
the quill. which in time drops out. A
few of the small feathers, when ready
to fall out, are really pluckcd. An
ostrich yields about fifty feathers at

Heads OF Strikers And Packers May
Come To Agreement
ARBITRATION The ONLY SOLUTION
The Union Leaders viii Insist That
Strikers Be Re-lnstated and Ask
Wage Scale For Each Class or
Workmen.

Chicago, July 16-The first steps
toward peace between the seven pack
ing companies and their $4,000 strik-
ing employees were taken when Pres
ident Michael Donnelly, of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butchers
Union of North America, held con-
ference with representatives OF the
packing houses in which the strike
: was called. There are indications that
the conference will open the way for
a settlement of the strike, prolonga-
tion of which would mean suffering
to the strikers, heavy losses to their
employers and privation and general
inconvenience to the public. Both
sides are in favor of peaceable set
Element upon an equitable basis and
it is believed that an arrangement will
be made for the men to return to
work pending an adjustment Of the
difficulties by arbitration That this
manner of settlement will be accept
ed by both sides appears probable. j.
: o. Armour, for the employers, and
Michael Donnelly, for the wor kers,
have united in declaring they favor
arbitration. The head of the union,
in counsel with President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor, was advised to make terms
at once if he could secure what he
deemed fair consideration. 1t is I'M
derstood that in the conference, the
union leaders will insist that the
strikers be reinstated. Another point
on which the labor men will lay great
stress will be that wage scale for
each class of workers in the packing
plants be agreed upon. This brings
up one of the original differences.
The packers have maintained that any
contract made would not include the
unskilled workers.
1t was announced that representa-
tives of the packing houses had ar
ranged to hold conference previous
to the joint arbitration meeting. AT
this conference, it was said, it would
I be determined just what terms the
packers would be willing to agree to.
Those selected to represent the pack
ing houses were Louis and E. F.
Swift, Swift & Co.; Edward Morris,
Nelson Morris G Co.. J. Ogden Ar
mour, Arthur Meeker and Thomas

GOOD WORK OF FILIPINos.
Faithful and Industrious in an Unac-

Faithful and Industrious in an Unac-
customed Climate.
Sixty Filipinos on the United States
cable ship Burnside did excellent
work on the rough seas off the coast
of Alaska last year. Twenty OF them
were detailed for laying and repair
ing cables. They were thus engaged
for three months, during which time
they experienced a great deal OF
rough weather.. one voyage having
been so trying that the Burnside mar
rowily escaped destruction. The Fill
pinos, however, in spite of the severe
climate and the difficult nature OF the
work, proved so efficient and trust
worthy that Lieut.-Col. Allen of the
United States signal corps says IN his
official report: 1.-THE work was al
ways cheerfully performed by them,
and in no case during the entire trip
was any sort OF punishment admins
tered to these men. They continually
grew in strengtah, and with the ex'
ception of slight colds from exposure
they were in excellent health through
out. The point desired to be made
prominent is that these men taken
from the Philippine islands and sent
directly into the cold of Alaska were
able to perform all the duties re
quired of them in the most satisfac
tory manner Gen. Greedy says:
"The marked success of the past
year has caused the chief signal offic
err of the army to engage a Filipino
crew for the operations in Alaskan
waters for the coming summer"
