Invention Checks Bird Slaughter.
From the New York Sun

Invention has at last come to the rescue
OF the egret-that beautiful bird which has
been nearly exterminated by the ruthless
demand Of women for its beautiful ma
ternity plumes. obtainable only by killing
the bird in the season when 1t is caring
for Its young. Naturalists have lifted
their voices almost in vain against the
cruel slaughter of these birds and laws
passed to protect the helpless creatures
have been broken recklessly, both by the
trade and the consumers. Now, however,
an artificial aigrette is being used by mil
liners which is even more beautiful in
some respects and more adaptable than
ment Is made Of ostrich plumes and is used
lavishly on some of the spring model hats.

OLD TIMER Is DEAD.

a Sailor. Many Years
Resident Here

There passed away in the city yes
terday morning about eleven O'Clock
an interesting man whose career had
been a checkered one as far as wide
travel and stirring adventure was con-
cerned. Charles Jordan, aged 70,
died at the home of Thomas Lowen,
on ChIpeta street Death was simply
the result of senility. the human ma
chinery had reached the end OF its
usefulness and the old man quietly
passed away. He had enpoyed per-
feet health nearly all of his life.
Charles Jordan has no relatives
here but has resided in the valley for
years For a number of years he has
been unable to provide for himself
and the county has looked after his
welfare. Jordan was for many years
sailor and could relate many stir
ring stories OF life before the mast.
He had visited nearly every import
ant port in the world. He often
stated that his parents we're lost
many years ago in n wreck at sea.
Undertaken Krohn has charge OF
the remains and the funeral arran-
gements have not yet been made. 1t
