President Von der Horst of Baltimore yester- ay stated that the suggestions of the rules committee would probably be adopted at the spring meeting of the league, which will be held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on the 7th in- stant. He was positive that the new rule re- garding the pitcher wouid be adopted, and that it would benesit the game. In explanation he stated that the diamond would remain un- changed, but the pitcher would be put back eight feet two inches. This will make the actual pitching distance sixty-three feet eight inches, against fifty-five feet six inches last season.

The following statistics of American travel Consul Merrill of Jerusalem: Ihave made an effort to ascertain the num- ber of Americans residing in this consular dis- trict the past year and find it to be: Americans, 43; naturalized, 370; total, 413. The average number of Americans residing in this district during the past ten years is 40 and of natural- ized Americans 270; total, 310. Transient Americans to the number of 450 visited this country during the past season, or, more defin- itely (the season is thus reckoned here), from June 1, 1891, to June 1, 1892. This number is probatly below rather than above what it should be. since absolute exactness is impos- sible; but 450 we are certain of. ‘This is about 40 per cent of all the travelers that have been recorded as arriving in Palestine during the period mentioned. Seasons vary here, as everywhere else, and sometimes the number of American travelers is 50 or 60 per cent of the | entire number. To avoid misapprehension, may say that we do not reckon as “traveler: or “tourists” people who visit this country “pilgrims,” of which class there are from 5,000 to 10.000 annua! The amount spent by these 450 travelers I have estimated from various reliable data to be about $75,000. This does not indicate all the money that comes from America to this country annually, for charitable institutions and different individuals receive large sums for various purposes, the amount of which it would be impossible to ascertain. ——— THE NEW PEKUVIAN MINISTER.

He went on to say that when he offered the bond amendment he had no expectation that there would be any opposition to it. The pre- tension that it repealed any other provision of the resumption law was absolutely unfounded. ‘Mr. Sherman's h was replied to by Messrs.

A decade ago only the large cities hada gun club. | Today it is small town in- deed that does not boast of ite “fine team.” In fact, the modern taken the place of n club seems to have e old-fashioned debating society, and the crack of the double barrel has drowned the last echo of sky-scraping elo- quence. ‘The makers of fine guns in this country could be counted on the fingers of one hand ten years ago; now they are numbered by the ‘The guns turned out by these factories, in which mi of dollars are invested, are of the very best, with all the latest improvements, and it is neediess to add that the American manufacturer keeps pace with the world. Of Inte the manufacture of fixed ammuni- tion has increased. Formerly most sportemen preferred to load their own shells, but it became Spparént that the trade which made a specialty ‘that business could, by buying the ammuni- tion in large quantities, furnish the shells loaded cheaper than the retail buyer could ob- tain the material to fill them, to say nothing of the time and labor expended.’ It is exceptional now to see any one who lives within reach of a railroad attempt to charge his shells, and even the small country stores offer loaded ones for sale where once only owder and shot could be obtained. The amount of ammunition used annually by the gun clubs would supply the armies of all Europe. All this hes awakened an enthusiastic love of real sport among the people. The time when the city youth fond of sport had to steal through the dark streets on his way to orfrom the coun- try has passed away. ‘The young man who con- femes to a love of bunting is no longer pointed out asa “ne'er-do-wel ‘America is fast becoming a nation of marks- men, and if there should ever bes war with foreign powers the spectacle often witnessed on the late battlefields of Virginia, where fully one-thir? of the muskets borne were over- loaded, underloaded or in some way wrongly loaded: woutd not be repeated. A member of a gun club is only content for a short time to shoot at inanimate objects, and the very moment this becomes monotonous he develops into a sportsman. as the grub turns into # butterfly. His attention and interest are no longer attracted by the scores of the shooting matches or the high record of the champions, but he reads with avidity the letters of correspondents giving accounts of actual experiences in the field. ‘The true sportsman will take to the roa as yas tothe gun. Not that a huntem: is necessarily a fisherman—for the pursuit the former requires incessant motion, skill and endurance, while in most sections of ‘the coun- try fishing, according to Izaak Walton, is a ‘meditative, peaceful vocation,” the greatest qualification for which is patience. [have read the quaint observations of old Izaak over and over again and am compelled to believe that the gentle fisherman never hooked anything stronger than a perch, or at the most a delicate brook trout. But the angler who goes fishing in the streams of Maine or the lakes of Canada will have his sporting instincts as keenly alive as the most inveterate uuner of large game. He must nndergo as great physical exertion and exhibit the most perfect endurance, while the excitement of playing a lively ealmon which bites like a steel trap and pulls like a horse, or of fighting a great lake ten-pounder which never vields until dead. is as intense as the most thoroughbred sportsman could desire. Thave never known a huntsman who, after arodon the game fish which hanut the Canadian waters, did not become at once an iastic fisherman, though but resterday he was ready to echo bluff Dr. Johnson's words: “An angler consists of a pole with a line at one end and a fool at the otber.”” Thrice happy and blest is he who has sport- ing blood in his veins. It isa magic and potent fluid. Mother nature is royal—a lavish, indul- gent and beneficent lover of sucia of her chil- dren as obey her mandates, but as relentless as the fates to those who break her inexorable jaws. She requires ‘value received” for all she gives. For robust health, hardened sinews, good digestion and stendy nerves she demands their equivalent in regular physical exercise. ‘To enjoy perfect heaith one must work for it, A sportsinau when in pursuit of game into play the rame muscles as the be aud the railroad track walker, and such is the enthusiasm born and bred in bim that the work is a pleasure, the labor 2 delight, andat thesame time he is laying up a reserve iund of strength and vigor tor later years.

Above all athiesics are hunting and fishing. With these there is no violent exertion followed by long in- action. On the contrary, the exercise is con- tinued and well sustained. A tramp through the heather all day with gun and dog, or a scramble down the rocky cliff of = granite walled mountain stream with rod and reel, is more beneficial than the frenzied rush of a foot ball game or the arduous pull of a boat race. ‘Then, in addition to this, a love of sporting in- culertes a love for the dog. Gun clubs and kenzeis keep even pace. For every gun turned out of the factory there will be a dog raised at the kennel, and it is satisfactory to retlect that even as science improves firearms so the dog breeds up. A pair of well-trained English or Irith setters of today are as far cuperior in in- telligence, Leauty and go to the dogs our grand- fathers hunted with as the modern shotgun is over the ancient flintlock or Joe Manton per- cussion cap fowling piece. A sportsman, and he only, can love and ap- preciate a dog at its fall value. Of course many people have canine pets, embracing every va- riety of pug, poodle and turnspit. But there is as wide a difference between these household favorites and the trusted companions of the fieid as between a dude and a statesman. ‘The eportsman’s pointers or setters are of a. ly nervous organization, the result of care- ‘and select breeding. They are trained from uppyhood for special work, and how faith- ly and lovingly they perform their duties! It is s mutual contract, which the dog under- stands as well as his master. The setter or pointer knows that itis his place to find the ‘me and his master’s business to bag it. There is also a mutual dependence; one cannot got along without the other. The instincts of these animals, engendered by generations of judicious breeding and break- ing, is wonderful. ‘Itisnextto numan e admirable feature of gun clubs is that they all favor protection for the game and use every endeavor to see the game laws carried opt.” Experience has proved that indiscrimi- nate slaughter of fur and feather, even in the most favored localities, speedily drives away or exterminates the game, while a moderate de- gree of protection will keep their number prac- undiminished, One substantial proof of the great increase of sportsmen is the number of syndicates which buy up large tracts of wild, uncultivated lands and turn them into ganmie preserves. There are many of these properties in North Carolina ‘and Virginia, and the experiments have in every instance proved a success. It should be borne in mind that it is not the who exterminates the game. It is aricious market gunner and soulless pot hunter who kill everything in sight and whose appetite for ster is insatiable. In these game preserves, however, every precaution is used to keep this gentry away, and a member, i gen therefore, of one of these clubs can count on | for the balance of his life. moderate 8) The will always be the Mecca of Amer- 2] himself.

Sam Johnson's Mastiff Dave Not Afraid of Cold Water. From the New York Sun. Every day when Bill Burdge tradges down from his tittle shanty in Navesink Highlands, N. J., to the Shrewsbury river to dig some clams. he stops at the East View Annex Hotel and whistles, In answer to his whistle & magnif- cent mastiff dashes out to rub him with extrav- agant signs of welcome. ‘‘Clams, Dave,” says Bill, and the pair walk down to the river, a few rods from the hotel, where Bill churns up his clams while Dave sits on the shore and watches, occasionally taking a few winks of sleep. Dave is the property of Sam Johnson, who runs the Annex Hotel; but the best affection of his canine heart is given to Bill Burdge, the broken-down veteran of the war who docs odd jobs in the summer time and digs clams in the winter for a living. Dave's love for Bill is only equaled by Bill's lore for Dave and the two are well nigh inseparable. The friendship has ex- isted for years, but it has been closer and warmer since last October, when Dave saved Bill from being killed by two vicious bulldogs. The Sun told then how the veteran, walking down town one Sunday, was attacked by Sam Johnson's “<hting bulldogs; how he was pulled down and torn by the savage brutes, who had almost kilied him when he shouted to Dave for help, and how the great mastiff, hearing him from his place in the hotel, came to the reecue, fought off the bulldogs and saved his friend life. The owner of the bulldogs, who also owns Dave, took care of Bill until bis wounds were healed and he was able to wander about again with the mastiff fora companion. The scars on Burdge's head were not healed when, on last Friday, Dave again saved his life. After all the other clam digger stopped work on account of the thinness of the ice on the Shrewsbury river Bill kepton. It was his only way of making a living, he said; and, any way, he guessed the ice would hold out. So, dis: garding the warnings of the other men, he went out on Friday on the ice and cut a hole, Dave, of course, going with him. As he was chopping at the hole there was a cracking sound, anda long shiver ran along the si of the ice, Dave didn't like it. He sni and whined, and finally, catching Bill by the coat, tried to pull him back to the shore. Bill says there is no doubt about thy “Shut up, Dave,” he said. “This is all right. If you don’t like it go ashore. Go on now and lie down.” The mastiff, after a few barks of remon- strance, trotted to the beach and i 5 Bill chopped his bole through and began churn- ing up the clams with his rake. He bad i outa few dozen when suddenly there rending, cra trembling surface, ‘The next went down in a mass of broken ic jiece of ice struck him on the head, rendering him powerless: to help himself, although he retained enough consciousness to remember the points of this stozy. Dave, he said, was coming toward him in great bounds, “Help, Dave! Come in, boy!” cried Bill from among the floating ice, ‘The dog leaped in. He reached his friend ang seized him by the collar. The ice had broken away for yards around and it wasa desperately hard fight for the mastiff, power- fal as he is, to get back with his burden to the solid edge.’ But he made it and the last thing Bill was conscious of was that Dave, after two ineffectual efforts to lift him up on the ice, had dropped him. “T'm gone now,” thought Bill, and he fainted for good. About this time Frank Brady happened to look out of the Annex Hotel door, which. inces the river. The first thing that met his view was Dave crawling out of a hole in the ice. “That's a fool trick,” remarked Brady to ‘Must be Dave's off his base. Wonder what he wants with swimming this time of ieieesy Then he saw Dave, after getting a firm foot- ing on the solid edge, bend down his head, brace his feet and pull. “Then there came into the runge of Mr. Brady’s vision the limp form of Bill burdge. Dave deposited Bill on the ice (Mfr. Brady is now the sponsor for the story) licked his face, sniffed at him wonderingly as he received no return to his caresses, and then seizing the inanimate form by the collar again dragged it toward the beach. About this ime Mr. Brady was doing s 100-yard dash over the ice. “Drop it, Dave,” he ordered as he reached }the pair, and, balf dragging, half carrying | Burdge, ‘he got him inio the hotel.

Many years ago Boodle’s Club in St. James street was one of the leading institutions in clubland. Scme years since an unfortunate | dispute led to a very large number of the mem- bers resigning, and thenceforth Boodle’s sank very considerably in importance. Mr. C.

A notice has now been in the club rooms announcing tiat Miss Gayner, a sister of the late proprietor, will carry on the concern. certainly to the end of the year, and it is understood that by his will the Inte Mr. Gayner bas desired that this lady should continue to control it indetinitely.

A French photographer lately invented a process by which a bit of ordinary paper—the leat of abook, for example—can be made sen- sitive to the light without affecting the rest of the page. Acting on this hint the French war minister has begun to take the portraits of con- scripts and recruits on the paper, which gives their height, complexion, age, &c.. and the cheapness and swiftness of the operation, which isalready in use in the French army, is some- thing remarkable. It costs only 1 cent to get two copies of a portrait of Jacques Bonhomme —one for his individual register and the other for his muster rolj; and so rapid is the process that ins few hours a whole regiment can be so Photographed.
