THE CRUELTY Or FAs
Slaughter Of Waning specie1
for the Decoration Of w
ems Hats.

The splendid snowzwhite
known as the American egret,
the few kinds which bear the
plumes of millinery and comb
among the waning species of a
"a victim of memorable fashfl says
Herbert X. Job, in Country Life manner
lea.
In 1903 the price for plumes dffered to
hunters was s32 per OUNCE which
makes the plumes worth twice their
weight-in gold. There will always be
men who would break any lSw for such
profit. No rookery of these herons
can long exist, unless it beSguarded by
force of arms day and night.
Mr.. Job tells how he Visited what is
perhaps the last large. Remaining egret
rookery in North America.
1t should be remembered that these
plumes-which are variously called by
milliners ''aigrettes," "stubbs" or
''ospreys,'' and are dyed to whatever
color is fashionable-are borne only
during the nuptial season and can be
secured only by shooting the birds
when they have assembled in colonies
to breed. when their usual shyness has
departed, owing to the strength OF the
parental instinct. Returning to their
nests, they are shot down and their
young are left to starve.

RIGHTS &: CHORUS GIRLS.
New York Manager Protects Them
from Unwelcone Attentions
of Men.


The time is past when wealthy
young men can sit in the front row
OF a, irst-class theater and ogle the
young women in the chorus, says the
New York Sun. Certain managers
used never to make strenuous objec-
tions to this sort of fun, providing
the young men didn't interfere with
the enjoyment of the rest of the au-
dience, but no manager will permit it
now.
Five well-known young men about
town tried it at a Broadway theater
a few nights ago.. and the manage
ment put up with their nonsense until
the first part of the show was over.
Then the five left their seats and start
ed out for a drink. When they re-
turned they were allowed to enter the
theater, but two ushers barred the
aisle leading to their seats. Near
the ushers stood the manager of the
house. Said he to the five young men:
1.-THE ladies of the chorus have com
planned of your unwelcome attentions.
You have seen half of this show and
can get half the price of the face value
OF your seats at the box Office if you de-
sire. You can't return to your seats.
II you try to, I'll have you all ar
rested"
h five young men consulted. Then
they apologized for their conduct. The
manager said he was sorry, but he
couldn't let them return to their seats.
They saw the rest of the show stand
ing up in the back of'the house.

RUSSIANS BELIEVE ENGAGEMENT
WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE
STRAITS OF FoRMosA.

VIadivostok Squadron May Venture
Out and Raid the japanese Coast
and Transport Fleet In an Attsmp,
to Join In the Battle by Making an
Attack on Admiral Toao's Fleet
From the Rear.
st. Petersburg, April 11.-Whether
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's battle
ship division passed through the
straits of Sunda or the straits of
Malacca it is practically certain now
that he is moving to effect juncture
with the division which passed Shga-
pore April 8. 1t is possible that this
may not take place until the two divi-
sions reach Cape Padaran, on the east
coast of Cochin China.
The dispatches from Singapore
naming the ships which passed there
Saturday are erroneous in several par.
ticulars, notably in the. case Of the
Fuerst Bismarck, rechristened The
Don, which is still at Libau.
According to the admiralty's infor-
nation the Japanese have had an OBJ
servation squadron in the waters of
I-abuan, British Borneo, where they
took the same advantage of British
neutrality as Rojestvensky did Of
French neutrality at Madagascar, and
this squadron is believed to have been
summoned by Japanese scouts to re-
main in touch with the Russians until
they go north to the straits of For
mosa, where, It is believed here, q
battle will occur. Considering the
vital nature Of the issue the admiralty
is inclined to think that Admiral Togo
will not dare to send ships to Vladi-
vostok or leave vessels behind him
to cope with the Russian vessels at
that port and that the Japanese coasts
and the transport feet will practically
have to shift for themselves until the
naval battle Is fought. The principal
coast cities Of Japan are we'll pro
tected by fortiacations and the Rus.

ing heavily armored, could not attack
them, but havoc could be created
among the japanese transports and
