AVE. ota TA THE DUPONT TROPHY Crack Marksmen at Baltimore Shoot- ing for It, TWELVE OF THE LEADERS TED Arrest of the Morris Park Book- makers. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS ee BALTIMORE, October 25.—Shooting for the Dupont trophy and the world’s cham- Pionship was resumed this morning at the grounds of the Baltimore Shooting Associa- tion. The weather and general atmospheric conditions are all that can be desired, and the birds have ginger enough in their com- position to make marksmanship difficult. When the shooting left off at dusk last night twelve of them had killed each of the eleven birds he had shot at, and about as many shooters had a record of ten killed. The leaders were D. A. Upson, D. M. Porterfield, Allen Willey, E. B. Coe, Wm. Wagner, J. L. Brewer, “Hayward” (. E. McAllester), E. Gilbert, W. G. Clark, F. Cooper, O. J. Millott and J. E. Schmeck. Of these, Capt. Brewer has a little the worst of it in being handicapped to shoot at thirty-three yards, while of the others none but McAllester, Upson and Porter- field are placed at more than twenty-eight yards from the trap. Capt. Brewer has had luck thus far in getting “incomers,” and it remains to be seen whether he can keep a clean score if he tackles a strong “driver” or two. Mc- Allester is probably his strongest competi- tor, and he has three yards the best of it in_the handicapping. The shooting is being done over one set of ground traps, and as there are fifty con- testants, and fourteen birds for each man, and from ties, it will probably be late and possibly be another day before the match is dectded. The winner will get, beside the trophy and the championship, $518 in cash, the second man gets $388.50 and third $129.50. ‘The marksmen amused themselves, while waiting for their tu in the big shoot, by smaller “sweeps, at the two other sets of traps on the grounds. When the betting opened this morning Wagner was the favorite, but missed his fifteenth bird, ard is selling now 5 to 1. Brewer is bringing 7 to 5; “Hayward,” 3 to 1. “Hayward” is considered the man who will win the trophy. He is a Philadelphian, and his right name is McAllester. ‘The skooting at 12 o'clock was fast and hot. E. B. Coe, a Baltimorean, was keep- ing ccmpany with Brewer. Upson, Cooper, Gilbert, Willey and “Hayward” have killed their sixteen birds straight in the cham- pionship. Millct, Schmeck and Porterfield, who killed eleven straight yesterday, have each missed a bird. Cockey, Bond and Hawkins have dropped out on the cond+ tion that if any of the other shooters drop as low as they are they will be given a chance to go in. BOGUS P. INTERVIEW. Lord Dunraven Repudiates Remarks Credited to Him. The London Yachtsman, commenting up- on the recent fake interview of the United Press with Lord Dunraven, said: “Tt remains for the Yankee pressman lo- cated in London to carry off the palm for lying. Lord Dunraven was credited with saying all that the United Press thought he should have said, out did not.” The Yachting World, rcferring to the same subject, remarked: “Since his arrival !n London Lord Dun- raven has been besieged by newspapers, from the Times downward, and has posi- tively refused to say anythiny in regard to the past or the future. Our American friends, however, woul] not be denied, and on Monday gave prominence to an alleged interview, in which Lord Dunraven raid very harsh things about his treatment in New York and the action of the Royal Vic- toria Yacht Club. It is needless to say that @ prompt denial of the whole story was forthcoming on Tuesday, Lord Dunraven denying being interviewed by any one.” Dixon Kemp is very indignant at the whole affair. He says he did not call upon Lord Dunraven with the object of inter- viewing him for the United Press, but sim- ply as an act of courtesy. In response to the United Press’ request he gave them a portion of the conversation, interspersed, he continued, “with remarks of my own in the same tenor as those which I published in the Field and which they (the United Press) turned into an Interview by putting my remarks tn Lord Dunraven’s mouth.” Late yesterday Lord Dunrayen sent to the press copies of the telegram which pass@i between himself and Louis H. Moore, the Londen manager of the United Press. Mr. Moore first telegraphed to Lord Dun- raven asking his lordship to inform him if his disclaimer of the “interview” was au- thorized by him, as it was calculated to do the United Press some damage. Lord Dunraven replied: ‘Yes; the dis- claimer was authorized by me and is cor- rect.”” Moore then asked: ‘Do you object to the entire interview, as Dixon Kemp has just written me that you object only to the two statements that the New York Yacht Club knew perfectly well that Rose's challenge was not an English one, and that the Vic- toria Club was sorry for having backed it? Dixon Kemp says that now these remarks are his, but that the rest of the interview is correct. I have printed Kemp’s letter in America, making the correction Indicated.” To this Lord Dunraven answered: “I ad- Here to my former statement that I have not had any interview with any represen- tative cf the United Press or any person professing to act in their behalf. “I had several conversations with Dixon Kemp, not as a journalist, but as a friend. If he made any use of any remarks I made to him by publishing them, or put forward any views as mine, it was entirely unau- thorized, without my knowledge, and a gross breach of confidence. “I have not authorized Dixon Kemp to say that I only object to certain parts of the interview. He had no right to make ary assertion in my behalf. “DUNRAVEN.” Eight Bookies Taken Into Custody at the Westchester Track. Although it was expected that a good day’s sport would be had at Morris Park yesterday, with seven well-filled races on the card and a few surprises, due to change of form, it was not thought that a lot of New York city detectives would cause consternation among the betting men and in the office of the association, but such was the case, and a fine day’s sport was marred by the action of the po- lice. So, after the fourth race had been run, eight bookmakers, with five assistants, were arrested on charges of bookmaking and taken to Essex market police court, where they were bailed. Inspector McCoullagh was at the track, and after the sixth race the judges, Col. Simmons and Clarence McDowell, and C. G. Fitzgerald, clerk of the scales, were taken Into custody on a charge of main- taining a lottery. NEW YORK, October 25.—President Law- rence of the Morris Park Racing Associa- tion was arrested at his office by Acting Inspector McCullagh today.

The Piece of Fie That Showed Mr. Townsend the Bowery Character. From the Bookman. _ Mr. Edward Townsend, the creator of Chimmie. Fadden, relates how the following incident put him on Chimmie’s treck a few days before he wrote the first news- paper sketch: “I was visiting a mission where some ladies: were giving a dinner to tenement house children which I was to report. I noticed gone little fellow near me gulp down a pfece of pié in about two bités, The young lady in charge, who seemed to be on very good terms with the boys and assumed a pretty air of comradeship, was standing by and,.saqw the ple disappear. She leaned over said, with a bit of the boy’s manner for, fellowship: “Would you like another, plege if I can sneak it?’ His eyes, brightened, She brought the pie and placed it before him with a little con- fidential whisper, though it were.a spe- celal favor, of which he was not to tell.

A Nevel Stock Farm to Be Operated in Norther Wisconsin. From the Philadetphia’ Bulletin, A deer and bear farm is the latest indus- trial project for northern Wisconsin, and the men behind the plan think that they have a fortune in sight. The farm is situ- ated In ‘the woods a few miles from the Great Northern road, and is already fairly well stocked with animals. The proprietors are James Allen, an old woodsman and hunter, and Dr. Harrison, a New Yorker, who has been spending much time in the northwest. They propose to raise deer and bears for the market, for the meat as well as the fur. The plan fs not to turn the animals loose in the woods, where they may be shot by every hunter who comes along, but to keep them in pens or corrals, where they can be attended by their keepers and watched over the same as domestic animals. The idea originated with Mr.Allen two or three years ago, and since then he has kept several male and female bears and a number of deer in separate pens near his home. He has found that the animals will mate in captivity as well as in the wild state, and has a number of cubs and fawns to prove his statements. Allen is now engaged in enlarging his pens, buying up all the deer and bears he can find, and preparing for winter, when the stock will need more care and attentiqgn than at any other time dur- ing the year. The intention is to feed the deer in much the same manner as sheep, while the bears will, in addition to corn and potatoes, have more or less meat. Nicknames in the German Army. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Everybody is familiar with the name of Tommy Atkins, representing the British soldier, but how many know the terms of endearment by which the German soldiers are called? Some of these are applied to the entire regiment, some to an individual corps. The guards are called “hammel” or “‘sheep;’’ the guards call the soldiers of the line “field * the infantry speak of the cavalry “grooms” and the cayalry return the compliment by bestowing upon the infantry the names of “sand hares,” “sand carriers” and ‘‘clodhoppers.” The cuirassiers are known as “flour s "" the pioneers as “moles,’’ the hus: ackthreads” and the artillery as ” The latter are also called “astronomers” and the en- gineers “water rats.” In these divisions again the corps have names for themselves and their rivals. In the cavalry the seventh cuirassiers are the “whitesmith: the first hussars the ‘death's heads,” as their shako bears this emblem, and the fourth hussars, from their brown uniforms, are called “partridges,” the only brown in the Germany army, preserved in remembrance ofserglerick Il, who used all the cloth found Ti*#Capuchin convent for his soldiers. : The green uniform with yellow facings has given to the,ixth hussars the name of “spinach and egg$,"" and for a similar rea- son the tenth hui are called ‘“‘parrots.”’ In the guards tl t regiment of foot are called “‘tin head: In.poetic allusion to their helmets; the Chis ‘S are “green frozs;” the first Grenadit “potato peelers;”” Hussars, “glow 4 is," from their red clothes; the third ‘Uflans, “‘dusties,” from their dull, yellow; trimmings, and the Pion- eers, “earth worths."=. ——_4+ -+e2___ Horses Look Where They Tread.

If he does so the entire compxny will pass over him, and he will not be injured. A horse notices where he is going, and 1s on the lookout for a firm foundation to put bis foot on. It is an in- stinct with him, therefore, to step over a prostrate man. The injuries caused by a runaway horse are nearly always inflicted by the animal knocking the man down, not by his stepping on him. 2e0-— Am Aged Bicyclist. From the Harrodsburg (Ky.) Demorrat. Mr. William Adkinson, aged eighty-one years, surprised the court-day crowd by riding a bicycle down and then up Main street Monday, while that thoroughfare was crowded with vehicles. He says he felt like a bird on the wing, and was so pleased by the sensation produced that he will at once order a wheel. If he does he can go into training and win that $100 diamond that will be offered next spring in the “old man’s race.” PRISONERS ON THEIR HONOR. Easy to Get Along With if the Officer Has Their Good Will. From the Louisville Courler-Journal. Jasper Ramey, one of the moonshiners now in jail here, walked twenty miles to give himself up to the revenue officers. This is not uncommon in the mountain counties. A number of the deputies who make periodical visits to the counties of Pike, Letcher, Knott, Magoffin, &c., have Uttle trouble in arresting the men they are after, while other officers have to fight for their lives. It is told of one of the deputy marshals that whenever. he wants a man he simply writes a letter to him, informing him that an indictment has been returned against him, and that he wants to meet him on a certain day at a neighboring town. Some of the letters wind up like this: “I also have warrants for several of the boys (naming them), and I wish you would see them and tell them that I will be in on , and for them to be there It is said that many of. the men make their appearance at the place and time designated. Several of the deputy marshals who go to the top of the Cumberland for prisoners occasionally let the men “’tend their crops” while they are under arrest. The officer goes through the country, meets the man, and says: “Tom, I’ve a warrant for your arrest.’ “All right; I’ve been ‘spectin’ it.”” “I know you've a big crop, though, and #s court don’t meet before October, you can ’tend your crop and come up to Louis- ville just before court opens.” ‘Then the man would return to his work, and at the appointed time he would be in this city, ready to answer to the charge against him when his case was called. Several months ago one of the oldest of the deputy United States marshals in Ken- tucky walked up to the door of the county jail and asked for the jailer. He was in- troduced to Mr. Watts, and said: “I have three ‘shiners’ that I brought from Magoffin county. As we came on the train. I left my ‘mitimuses’ in my saddle bags, and when we came out of the coach I forgot my saddle bags. I want to know if you will let me put these prisoners in jeil here without the papers? I will get the ‘mitimuses’ in a few days, and it will be all right and proper.” Jailer Watts told the man he would ac- commodate him because of his bad luck. “But where are the prisoners?” said the Jailer. “Oh, them! Well, they’re out in town some place. We came in yesterday, and I told them they might knock about the city until I arranged it with you for them to go in here. I’ll go out and look them up and bring them in.” In about an hour he returned with three typical mountaineers, who said they had enjoyed looking at the sights of the city very much. They had never been in Louis- ville before, and thought it a great treat to be able to “ride thar free,” even though they came as prisoners. ———+oe—____ WHAT SHE WANTED. The Lawyer Found That She Was Not Thinking of a Divorce. From the New York Sun, “Yes,” said the Cedar street lawyer, “there are many funny incidents in the lew business, but there is a sad side to some of them, too, which makes me reflect on how small a proportion of all human wrongs and misfortunes we are able to re- Meve. One day soon after I began practice e@ handsome and fashionably dressed wo- man came into my office. From her looks I judged that she was not much over twenty years of age, and I learned after- ward that she had been married only a short time before. She told me that she had been sent by a clergyman who was a friend of mine, and after some hesitation added that she had had trouble with her husband. “I supposed that my visitor was seeking to be released from Hymen’s bonds, and asked if there was any evidence on which she could base an action for divorce. She seemed to be horrified at the thought, and ‘Oh, no, sir. I don’t want a divorce.” ‘Well, then,’ I said, ‘probably you can get @ separation,’ and I enumerated the grounds on which it could be obtained. “But I wouldn’t have a separation if I coul® get it,’ said she. “I was becoming a trifle puzzled, but I hazarded another suggestion. “ ‘Better go up to Judge Blank,’ I said, naming one of the police justices. ‘He wif give you a warrant, and you can bring your husband into court and make him con- tribute a fixed sum per week to your sup- port.’ “I don’t want him to contribute to my support,” said the woman, almost crying by this time; ‘I can make more money than he can.” “This was exasperating, so I said: “Well, madam, you can’t get and don’t want a divorce or a separation, and you don't wish to compel your husband to con- tribute to your support; you must pardon me if I fail to see how I can advise you, for I have no idea as to what you do want.’ “Tears welled up in the young woman’s eyes, and, clasping her hands, she faltered plaintively: ‘I—I—want ‘him to—to—love —_—__+ e+ -_____ SHE LOST HER JEWELS, An Episode of River Steamboat Days Suggested by a Recent Engagement. From the Chicago Times-Herald. Speaking of the Marlborough-Vanderbilt engagement, here is something that is kin to it: One night, away back yonder in the latter sixties, I was a passenger on a steamboat—the Richmond—running from Louisville to New Orleans. It was a down trip, and the boat had reached the “Court Country,” that region lying along the Mis- sissippi below Natchez to the Belize. The vessel was sailing smoothly down the majestic stream, and it was long after mid- night. The great and superb cabins were as quiet as the upper floors of a grand hotel at such an hour, save that a party of four gentlemen playing whist in the for- ward part of the main saloon kept up the faint, low conversation necessary to the game. 'Twas perhaps 1 o'clock when the card players and those who were awake in their berths on that deck were startled by a scream from the ladies’ cabin, and there came rushing down toward the clerk’s of- fice a handsome matron en deshabille. Clinging to the lady’s skirts and crying in sympathy with her mother’s distress was a Uttle girl of six or eight years, perhaps ten. “My diamonds are gone!” the matron said, in a husky voice, to the alarmed night clerk. A thief, who had probably watched for this opportunity for years, had reached over the transom of the lady’s state room from the outside and had cut away and carried off the pocket of her dress contain- ing $100,000 worth of great jewels. Prob- ably he went ashore at the next landing after the theft had been accomplished. At any rate, he made good his escape, and the jewels were never heard of again by their owner. The company owning the boat in the law- suit that followed proved that a safe was kept on the boat for the express purpose of caring for valuable property or jewels or money of the passengers, and the plaintiffs lost the case. The lady was Senora Yznaga, wife of a wealthy Cuban; the little girl was Consuelo, afterward Duchess of Manchester, then Duchess Dowager, now Duchess of Devon- shire, and for her was named Consuelo Vanderbilt, whose mother was a girlhood friend of Consuelo Yznaga, and who Is to be the Duchess of Marlborough. eee Teaching the Bagpipes. From the Glasgow Herald. A highlander, having to teach a chum in his regiment to play the bagpipes, began to instruct him in reading the music in the following way: “You see that chap with a white, round, open face?” pointing to a semibreve be- tween the lines; “well, he moves slowly from that line to this, while you beat one and take a long blow. .Now, if you put a leg on him you make two of him, and he moves twice as fast.

London Cor. Globe-Democrat. M. H. Levalle, the noted French traveler, has arrived here from India, which he visited in search of anthropological phe- nomena, and on his return to France will prepare a book on the most extraordinary tribe of human beings ever discovered, the Todas, who live in a mountainous district in the presidency of Madras, on almost in- accessible mountain tops and precipices, and have never before been visited hy a savant. They are dying out fast, only 511 being alive now of this people, which is supposed to be descended from a colony of Roman soldiers, or from soldiers belonging to the armies of Alexander the Great. “I have lived for some time among these people,” said M. Levalle, “studied their morals and habits, their present mode of living and history, and came to the con- clusion that polyandry is the reason for the astonishing and unprecedented degen- eration of this race. At the beginning of this century they numbered a hundred thousand or thereabouts. Now they are almost wiped out, and, as I have learned, neither flood, nor war, nor epidemics helped to hasten the process of decimation. This race of warriors succumbed to the physical consequences of a law made several hun- dred years before Christ, with necessity for its parent. “When the ancestors of the Todas first settled on the mountain tops of Nilgiri, about 7,000 feet above the level of the sea, there was doubtless some reason for the cruel rule that a girl, given in marriage, ghall be wife not only to her husband, but also to that husband’s brothers. Tradition among the people says that their fore- fathers belonged to the army of Alexander the Great, who entered India 327 B. C.; other legends claim Roman soldiers as the Todas’ grandsires—in either case these earliest settlers were probably as hard up for wives as the ancient Romans, who had to steal their female companions among the Sabines. “In the interest of race propaganda, then, it was decreed in the old community that no man should be allowed the monopoly of one woman's love or affection, but, on the contrary, should allow Lis brothers, or, in case he had none, his other near rela- tives, to participate in his conjugal bliss. “That was very well for the time, being a practice that must have prevailed, in one form or another, with our biblical fore- fathers, too, but why it should be practiced to this day, or rather for what other rea- son than race prejudice it was revived at the beginning of the present century, after the Todas had become a strong and numer- ous people, I cannot imagine; neither was I able to gather information on that point. From observation, I know that every Toda woman has four, five or even more hus- bands. “The male children from this union, or number of unions, are all credited to the chief husband, or the original husband. The oldest female child is supposed to be the offspring of the husband's eldest brother; the second girl baby calls the sec- ond oldest papa, etc. “I spoke at the beginning of our talk,” continued M. Levalle, ‘‘of the degeneration of the race; this, however, manifested it- self solely in the decrease of population; individually, the Todas appear healthy, beautiful of face and limb. Men and wo- men wear the same single garment, a square piece of white or gray linen, in which they drape their muscular form with dignity and coquetry. Up to the time of the interference of the Madras British gov- ernment the women were dressed solely in their crowning glory—mantle of beautiful black tresses, which they wore loose around their shoulders, and a girdle or a metal chain cround their naked waist. Today they braid their hair and let it fall grace- fully upon their nude neck; as of old, silver or gold links encircle their waist, but the official linen cloth does not in the least in- terfere with the display of their charms. The faces of men and women seem to in- dicate European origin; they have little in common with the race characteristics of the people of India.” The New Library. 4 Forty of the leading American and for- eign artists have assisted in the work of decorating the interior of the new Library of Congress building.

DEER, PANTHER, IRON HORSE. An Exciting Race on a Railway Track $n the Florida Woods. From the Florida Timcs-Urion. _C. C. Taylor, engineer of the Pablo raile road, has pulled a throttle for thirty-six ears, and during that time has had many novel experiences, but yesterday he had _ ne that has no parallel in his life’s his-~ tory. It was during the run from Pablo to <acksonville. Conductor R. Rogero pulled the bell cord to leave Pablo at 5 p.m. The train slipped out of the depot and sped for home. About eight miles this side of Pab- lo 18 Cedar swamp, a tangled morass in which bears, wildcats, deer and even pan- thers have been often killed. When about half way through the swamp an immense buck, wild-eyed and lathered with sweat, made a clean leap of twenty-five feet onto the track, within sixty feet of the engine. An instant later there was a crash of the underbrush, and out of it came an immense pinther, running so fast that he seemd to be level with the ground. He was so eager to catch the game ahead of him that he had no eye for the train. Passengers in the five coaches did not know of the exciting race going on ahead of the cowcatcher, but they did notice that there was a series of quick and suc- cessive jerks, and that the train was spin- ning along through the swamp at a whiz- zing pace. It was at this time that Engi- neer Taylor resolved to take a hand in the race himself. He pulled the throttle wide open, and the engine fairly humped her self. ‘The deer was about one hundred yards ahead, and the panther was thirty yards behind the deer. The deer was barely hold- ing his own. Something seemed to be the matter with him, for he didn’t run as he stould. The deer kept the track for a half mile. Before he left the track, however, the engine crawled close upon the pan- ther. He heard the rumbling of the wheels and the trembling of the track, and he quickly got out of the way, hiding himself in the underbrush by a series of succes- sive and graceful leaps. The deer did not quit the track until a quarter of a mile further on. He took to the open pine woods on the opposite side to which the panther had leaped, and the last seen of him he was still running like chain lightning. Conductor Rogero went ahead to see what was up when the train was running sa fast, but only got there in time to see the deer scudding through the woods. He told a few of the passengers, but none of them was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the buck. Mr. Rogero says that deer have frequent- ly jumped on the track on the Pablo run, and before this have had a race with the train, but this is the first time he ever heard of a-panther getting mixed up in, any of the incidents. —- JUST WANTED TO FIGHT. A Kentucky Moonshiner's Story of am Encounter in the Highway. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Alvin Partin, a Bell county moonshiner, has a bad scar on his left side near the hip, He tells a remarkable etory of how he came by it, and his friends, including At, torney John B. O'Neal of Covington, cor- roborate what he says. “I got thet scar las’ winter,” he said one day last week. “I got a nuther one on my head thet I got at the same time,” he con- tinued, showing a large furrow that reach- ed from his forehead almost to the crown of his cranium. ‘Me an’ three other fellers had a fight one day on the road. They was drunk an’ bad fellers. I met them, an’ one of them says to me, ‘I'm goin’ to shoot you.’ I told him ‘I reckon not,’ but he says, ‘Yes; I am, an’ right now, too.’ So I says, ‘Blaze away.’ He had double-barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot. He pinted it at me an’ I tried to knock it away, but I missed the bar’l ty aboul a inch. By the time I had hit at it again it was goin’ off, though I knccked it a little to one side. “I had on a belt filled with seventeen No. 44 Winchester ca’tridges. The whole load of buckshot went among them ca’tridges, *splodin’ ‘leven of them. Two weeks after that the doctor picked scme of the brass shells outen my side. A piece of my hij was shot off. When I was first shot I di not think I was hit hard. I shot my pisto} at the feller an’ he grabbed the muzzle of it. The ball went up his sleeve and through his arm. The other fellers then came on for me an’ I poked the pistol in one of their mouths. Jes’ as I pulled the trigger the qther feller knocked my pistol to one side an’ the bullet cut a furrer in the side of his head. Jes’ then the other feller hit me over the head with his gun bar’l, and I didn’t know nothin’ for three hours an’ was home. in about four months I was all right.” Swhat did they attack you for?” asked one. “Oh, nothin’, I guess. They wus drinkin’ an’ carovsin. We had never had any, rukeses. They jes’ wanted a fight. “T scen the feller what shot me las’ week down in Bell count; Partin sald, and his eyes twinkled. “I was Giggin’ taters when he passed along the road. I didn’t my gun near me, an’ I didn’t say nothin’
