It is! understood that the law this year will be rigidly | enforced in thie particular. ‘There are several ways to hunt reedbirds, the most common, per- hape, being the wading method. TRE WADING METHOD. Aman provides himeelf with a light, strong pair of trousers, a pair of soft shoes, a cap with a big visor and a coat that combines strength with lightness in weight. It should have nu- merous and the shells should be evenly distribu After securing the trousers tightly about the ankles to keep out the saw ‘the hunter is ready to efiter the marsh. ft innot absolutely necessary to have aretriover, although many « bird that otherwise would be lost 0 into the bag by having one along. Atraiued eyo, however, is, és) indlepensed requisite to the wader, for it enablos him to lo- cate where a bird has fallen. A g20d eye, how- ever, is a rare thing, and thousands of birds are lost every season by’ hunters who mark the birds wrongly. The great trouble isin the appear- ance of the marsh. It all looks alike and unless you goat once to the spot where you have marked the fallen bird the chances are you will never find him. Black snakes abound in the marshes and they reap rich harvest off the lost birds. But wading is dangerous, and none but expe- riencedmenshouldattempt it. In the first plaice it requires quite a knack to know how to walk, what places to avoid and how to creep on the game. A good wader never enters the marsh without a couple of big ripe tomatoes. The; are indispensable in quenching thirst and ap- WHEN THE GAME 18 SIORTED. When the hunter sights the game he assumes & crouching attitude and looks about him for the best route—that is, the route furnishing the greatest cover—for the little fellows are scary and take wing easily. When within range the gan {s carefully brought to the eboulder and the shot are sent on their deadly mission. If black powder is used it is well to drop after the shot to avoid,the smoke, and thereby see if the bird has fallen or if he haa been missed. When smokeless powder is used pf course this is un- necessary. When the daf is over the hunter should take a bath, for the’ marah abounds with poisonous weeds. It is well to have another suit of clothes near by, as it insures comfort, especially if home is far away. Now, shooting from a skiff is much easier, although the results are not as satisfac- tory. Then, again, it is expensive, for a boat must be hired as well asa man to propel it. The hunter sits in the bow and shoots from that po- sition when the game presents itself. One ob- {ection to this mode of aoe is that it can ollie Land ‘shooting is another, and, most scientific. “Th perhaps, the ¢ hunter secretes himself onestrip of land between two marshes and shoots as the birds pass over. Result of Taking a Drink. Attired in a light suit of clothes and in an ex- tremely nervous condition, William W. Wallace, a young man employed at the Capitol, entered | the Police Court this morning and there found that he was charged with the grand larceny of 300, the property of Mrs. Julia Catlin of 3334 8 street, Georgetown. Detective Wheeler ar- rested the young man two days ago and he has been held in the lockup. ‘Mrs. Catlin ia a widow, her burband having died only a short time ago.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: If our Sandy Springs friends did fail to get | Congress to appropriate €200,000 to buiida market house for the country people on the hay market lot or what is called the wholerale market grounds, the hay scales have changed hands and the price for weighing has been re- duced from 50 to 35 cents aload. Mr. E. B. Crain, the purchaser of the scales, is an honor- able, highly esteemed man, who will do right with every one, the seller as well as the buyer. Being brought up on a farm, he will be polite and accommodating to farmers as well as to the city people. Now if the market company would | duild a shed along the B street side of the lot with two rows of stalls and a ware room, where persons could store things for the night or when the market was dull until the next | market for a small sum, it would be much bet- ter for the farmers than if Congress had builé & €200,000 market house with so many high salaried officers, which the bill provided that the farmers should pay. The charges would have been so much that farmers could not have taken their produce there for sale. Now he can go there, sell his stuff and all he has to pay is 85 cents if he weighs his load, and if he wante to stay all night he can leave his wagon and team in the yard, the gates are locked up ‘and watchman to sec that every is safe, and he oy pre for the use of the stalls for his horses if he stables them in the stable where he can feed and attend to them, which makes it very convenient and cheap.

Sherwood Says of the Arrangements to Be Made. “It is going to be no small job to see that every veteran receives the mail sent him during the encampment, but I believe we can doit,” said Postmaster Sherwood to a Stan today. “More difficult, perhaps, will it be to supply the old fellows with postage stamps. Tunderstand that the citizens’ executive com- mittee will establish numerous branches of a bureau of information all over town. If that is done I shall endeavor to have some one at each branch sell postage stamps and receive mail. Of course that will increase the work of collec- tion, but we will try to meet the demand. I shall ask the Post Office Department to permit the employment during the encampment | period of all our force of substitute letter car- fiers; there are thirty of them now available. are now seventeen substations and fifty stamp agencies—almost sufficient for the daily business of the city—but when that multitude rolls on us and over us in September you will | find that in our midst will be from 260,000 to 800,000 people who will not know where to buy | & pow stamp or s newspaper wrapper. | Every effort will be made to monet the vies | little more than half way in the matter of postal facilities. All the employes of this office will be on duty and hard at work: there will be no one off on leave of absence while the encamp- ment is on. “Let me once more call attention to the ne- cessity, which will be apparent to every one, of veterans having their mail addressed to some hotel or house fa this city. When I was at the | last encampment in Detroit I went to the post office quite early one morning and found a long line of waiting strangers strung out from the general delivery window into the street. | If one-third the crowd has its letters and papets | addressed simply to a name and this city it will | ‘be almost impossible to satisfy any one.

A Program of Entertaiment Decided On— Mr, Weller Makes an Explanation. The committee from the East Washington Citizen's Association and the Farragut Post to arrange for the reception of the G. A. R. visitors who will be quartered in East Washington met last night at Baum’s Hall to complete arrange- ments and adopt a program for the entertain- ment of the guests, Chairman Christian Storm called the meeting to order. He stated that the program decided upon was as follows: On Monday of the encampment the citizens of East Washington give a reception to the veterans at the hall of Farragut Post, On Tuesday the hall will be used as the eastern headquarters for the purpose of forming the Procession. A camp fire will be given in the evening. The indies of Farragut Relief Corps wili hold | the | a reception on Wednesday and in the evenin, grounds of Mrs. Emily E. Briggs. arations are bein Promises to be one of the features of the encampment. Thursday will be devoted to other Farragut posta in the city who will be invited to the receptio On Friday a farewell reception will be held.

He al- Iuded to the remarks of a certain speaker at the democratic ratification meeting at Kensington, Md., a few nights ago. Hesaid the speech of this young man was both unwarranted and un- Called for, and created as much indignation in the ranks of the District as it-did among the republicans. It was condemned on all sides, and the opprobrium of its delivery should at tach only to the tuneryerienced ‘ronng man, ‘The democracy of the District in whose behalf he had the right to speak by virtue of bis posi- tion as chairman of the central committee, Mr. Weller, said would welcome the surviving de- fonders of their country just as warmly as any other citizens of this community.

The Clark people had 200 votes only, but had them divided up in fractions between about 5,000 men. They were therefore anxious that the voting should be viva voce instead of by roll call. They bolted the convention when the chairman decided a viva vooe vote out of order.
