Wild-eyed and wondering at a 1

though Ii?, had been dead for the last
twenty-two years; "Pap," the old negro)
whom Governor Mann conditionally :
pardoned Saturday, left the peniten?
tiary yesterday morning and was
placed on tlx- early train to Newport.
News, where he hopes to spend his last .
days with relatives. lie was various?
ly know n as Milte Thomas and .lames- I
Smith, but was registered :is the lattei '.
in the record books. Being the patri?
arch of the Institution, it was very nat- j
iiral that he came to lie known to in
mates and o Ulcers it like as 'Tap."
When he made ready for his start to
tin- train. "Bap'' was more helpless 1 ban
a child, ami his wonderment was be?
yond words. lie had a vague remem
brancc of trains as they were two
decades ago, and he had marveled
when Moisant passed over the peniten?
tiary in his monoplane. But all the I
rest 1,1 it?automobiles, skyscrapers i
I and the like were new, and he walked
:ss one in a dream. The guard very I
carefully piloted him over the cross
inns, bought his ticket, and gave the
conductor minute instructions to get
him off at the right place, where there
would be some one to meet him and
take him home.
With the exception of the time spent
in the penitentiary, his life, numhor
1 Ing olghty-one years, has been crowded
with stirring Incidents. For thirty
five years he was a slave, being body
servant to William Henry Seiden, who
j was shot In the defense of Rynchburg.
I It Is said that the body servant, seeing
his master fall, took up the gun and

I the cause of his Una] sentence. The
I days of his existence will now be few, j

Remains of Feathered Creatures
Deck Hal^ of Some of
His IIoarers.
Women who permit themselves to
Indulge their vanity in tin ntnmpl to
outshine their sistors by adorning
coiffures nti<l millinery creations with
aigrettes and other plumage of wild
birds, were condemned in (10 Uncertain
terms last night by T. Gilbert Poarsdh, j
of New YorU, secretary of the National
A udubon Society, who spoke In the
auditorium of the John Marshall High ,
School, under the auspices uf the Vir- j
glhla Auduhon Society.
Many species of the feathered tribes, j
the lecturer said, arc fast becoming I
extinct because of tho troinondous mar-'
kel for tho sal., of plumage created .
especially in Nc.v York and Paris by
the millinery trade which Is endeavor?
ing to satisfy the tastes of the so
called modish women.
Mini* Tliorc to Ilenr.
Numerous aigrettes and feathers were 1
seen in the hats of the large number
of members of tho fair sex who wer
present last night to hear Mr. Pear?
son.
In connection with thl? feature of:
his remarks the speaker referred main
ly to the slaughter of the beautiful
show heron', which produces tlto '
aigrette only during the season when j
it. Is pursing its young.
Mr. Pearson pointed out that when
the female Is killed ,by the hunters to
supply the marts of the big metrop?
olis for "fine feathers." the young
starve to death.
Ho brought but this point more j
strongly by the use of stereoptlcon !
views, taken from actual photographs. I
lie first showed the heron feeding Its j
young. The small birds were next
depicted dead in their nest, while the
I bird picture was that of Ihn dead
mother lying in ri pool of blood on
the ground whore it had beeil thrown
after being stripped of its feathers by
the hunters.
I.iiwk to Protect tJulls.
The slaughter of seagulls to aid In
the bcnutlf icattoii of women was also
deplored by Mr. Pearson, who de?
scribed In 'detail how the killing of
these birds which hunt the coasts of
this country was brought about and
followed tip to such it grout*extent thai
nearly all of the States alone; the At?
lantic coast have enacted laws making
it it misdemeanor to kill thorn, (lulls. 1
ho said, were scavengers of the sea. as
vultures were scavengers of the land, j
The establishment of national reset-- ;
vatlons in various sections ?-f tho eoun-j
try. where wild bird IPe i? perpetuated,
was spoken of at length. Many views
of bird life on these reservations were ,
display.!.
The pictures shown were taken in
all parts of North A merles., but referred j
mainly to this country, whore the Au
duhon Society Is endeavoring to restore!
almost extinct types.
Mr. Pearson opened his address by ?
stating thai there are is.hod known
I species of birds In the world, in this
i country there are 1,100 different
varieties. in Virginia will be found
rtlC; In North Carolina, 331; in West
Virginia, 215; ami In Florida, .':"u>. The
latter State hns more varieties of wild
fowl than any State in tho IT n Inn.
The True Pportsninii.
Mr. Pearson also paid his respects to
"sportsmen."
"There is no true sportsman who
gets his fun by the ,loy of killing. The
true sportsman secures his pleasure In
hunting. 1 admire ? good sportsman.
To hunt does a man good. Hut tho
man who thinks only of a big game
bag is not a sport."
The speaker continued: "The time
has come when American wild game,
birds are worth more living than dead.
Pead, they have a common market
\ ;? I u--. and may be sohl as so many
potatoes or so much lard. But what
property Is not improved by a game
reservation? The farmer should be ono
of the first to aid in the protection of
game.
"I went to emphasize the fact that
the Auduhon Society is not a. senti?
mental Organization. It believes in the
protection of the birds, but has noth?
ing a gains I Hie huntsman who is a
huntsman. Tts main object is to strive
for the protection of birds that the
various species may not become ex?
tinct."
A large andlonce heard Mr. Pearson,
who was Introduced by Captain Jen?
nings C. Wise.

eru Railway Company is the primary j
petitioner, bavins: been Joined by sev?

secure an order requiring .ill stoves

be crated;
Heretofore no such provision has ob- |
taincd. Small shipments of stoves are. I
made, the practice being to fasten the

shipper? contend that the requirement
of crating will add to the cost of pro?

will ultimately Increase th^ price to
the consumer. Various stove makers
and dealers will be represented at the
hearing by counsel.

im the other hand, the railroads sa.v j
they are subjected to unreasonable ex- j

that tlie greater safety will more than;
compensate for the expense.

Ward Plans to Construct Line to I
Northern Neck if Rich?
mond Will Aid.
i
In reply to a letter written by Vice
president T. M. Carrington. of the
Chamber of Commerce, asking if the
City Council could legally appropriate
j a sum of money to the proposed stand?
ard gauge railroad from Wicomlco, In
Northumberland county, to Doswell. a
few miles out of the city at the Junc?
tion of the Richmond, Frederlcksburg
and Potomac Railway and the Chesa?
peake and Ohio Railway. Mayor Rich?
ardson yesterday enclosed an opinion
of the City Attorney to the effect
that auch an appropriation would not
be legal and that the money would
have to be secured through subscrip?
tions. The amount asked from the city
by C. M. Ward, who is promoting the
venture, is $150.000, and the estimated
cost of the entire road Is 31,500.000.
Tn hin lettor to the Mayor, Mr. Car?
rington gave the. route and called at?
tention to the fact that. It would open
for this city a territory from which
there now comes little trade, hut which
contains nearly 100,000 inhabitants.
Mr. Ward several times appeared be?
fore committees of the chamber, and
has explained that should an amount
of money bo appropriated to his pro?
ject it was his desire that it be placed
In the hands of competent trustees
and not to bo used until the road was
completed and in operation. The fund
would be used in part to pay the in- I
forest on tho cost of tho road for the
first two years, as during that time il
is not expected to bo solf-sustalning.
Though ruling that the city could
not contribute to tho road according
to the. terms of the charter, the Mayor
stated that both he and City Attorney
Pollard 'heartily approved of opening
up the new country, and that Mr. Pol?
lard would agree to subscribe $500. lie
was of tho opinion that the amount
could be readily procured through pub?
lic-spirited citizens. Up to this lime
Mr. Carrington lias not made-any ar?
rangements to raise the money, but the
matter probably will he taken up by
him and Mr. Ward through tho Cham?
ber of Commerce.
