From the Rutland Herald. Except in Essex county the generation of Vermonters immediately preceding the present one never saw a deer. Partridges, squirrels and some other small game had not been utterly exterminated by years of indiscriminate slaughter, but the deer, with the otter and the beaver, had become en- tirely extinct. And the question before the state today is whether the extermination of the harmless and beautiful animal shall be repeated. Some men interested in having Vermont forests repeopled with deer brought a few animals to the state years ago, a law was made protecting them and they multiplied and spread in all directions. In many sec- tions they have in the last few years been a common sight, and in not a few cases have become relatively tame. The law pre- vented men from showing deer what bloo¢ thirsty and cruel beasts they were, and the deer came not to fear them. It is true er was killed now and then, but the law was generally obeyed, and it is not too much to say that the whole state was delighted to have the animals once more in the woods. The legislature in 1896 made October in each year an open season, with certain re- strictions as to ways of killing, and for a week we had all over the state the starting out of hunters, the crack of the rifle and boundless lying. But the situation is such that the feeling of a very large class of people was well expressed by one of the best known sportsmen in the state at Rut- land the other day: “I like to hunt mighty well, but I can’t kill one of these deer; 1 can't do it. I had just as Hef go into a man’s yard and shoot a Jersey calf.” ‘The deer killed so far have mostly been those that had lost their fear of men, and the killing has been the work of butchers rather than that of sportsmen. ‘The Herald hears of one authentic case where a puck running for life was brought down with a rifle at long range. Doubtless there have been other cases of true sportsmanlike kill- ing, but the Herald actually knows of no other. Upon the other hand, the air is full of unpleasantly definite reports of deer driven out from herds of cattle to be shot, of tame deer watched for and shot down when they came to get their usual feed, and of the use of lights and salt and other methods forbidden alike by the law of fair play and of the state. There is a substan- tial reward offered for the conviction of any one resorting to illegal methods, and the Herald will be delighted to report con- victions. Of course the tame deer will soon disappear, if, indeed, any survive the butch- ery of last week, and with the great army of hunters at work in our limited forests the really wild deer will stand no chance. The deer is harmless, by nature shy and timid, and is by far the most beautiful of all the larger animals. It is true that in a few cases there have been complaints of injury to crops by deer, but that injury at the most is trifling, and if thought best the state could make a very small appropria- tion to cover everything of the sort. Do the people of Vermont want their FOR NERVOUS WOMEN 5 Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. Dr. J. B. ALEXANDER, Charlotte, N.C. says: “It is not ‘to the ‘but ranks deer exterminated? We take it that not a man can be found in the whole state who wants such a thing. But this Octob: season will quickly bring that result. There is no chance to doubt that. Deer live in a great wilderness, and are not extermin- ated by even unchecked hunting. They are wild and inac ible. In Essex county, for instance, the Herald understands that deer have been killed with little restraint ever since the country was opened. But the people who hunt are few in number and the locality is on the border of a practically illimitable forest. Here along the moun- tain range, apon the other hand, the forest is cut up with roads, and houses are scat- seenonenenene nena tered through it; the deer are necessarily accessible, and from the near neighbor- hOod of men lose much of their natural shy- ness. Hence this open season brought an army of hunters to kill tame deer, and the animals not tamed have little chance of escape. ‘The new law was a mistake. Let us have it répealed. Let us stop deer butchering. ——_+«+____ The Sizes of Some Great Heads. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. It would be difficult to find any subject in which that most extraordinary old gentle- man, Mr. Gladstone, does not betray as keen and lively an interest as though he were jn the twenties, and not on the verge of his nineties. Every now and then some lucky correspondent “draws” him, as it were, and recelves a letter or a postal card which betrays in suggestive parase the de- lighttul alertness of perception so semi- humorously characteristic of the recluse of Hawarden. This week a worthy hatter has success- fully appealed to the oracle. He sent him a traveling cap, which, it is to be presumed, was of fashionable cut and texture, and accompanied it with a list of the sizes of the heads of eminent men, which it has taken some years to compile. By this it appears that of English public men, Lord Chelmsford has the smallest head, the size from a hatter’s point of view being only 6%. while the late Dr. Thompson, arch- bishop of York, had a large 8. The Duke of York's size 1s 6%; Dean Stanley’s was 6%; the Emperor of Germany's is 6%, while hig | uncle's, the Prince of Wales, is one-eighth larger. Robert Burns and Dickens had heads of exactly the same size, viz., 7%: Thackeray’s was 7%; Daniel O'Connell's, 8; Dr. Thomas Chalmers’, 7%, and Mr. Glad- stcne’s himself, 7%. “Your favorite author,” adds the hatter, in his letter to the aged statesman, “Sir Walter Scott's head was about 7.” ———~+ee Extenuating Circumstances. ‘From the Boston Herald. The imposing of a fine of $37.50 cn a young man in a Jersey City court for hav- ing deliberately grabbed a young woman around the waist and kissed her against her will looks like a rather light sentence from @ strictly judicial’ point of view, but it appears from the full report of the court proceedings that there were extraordinary circumstances in the case. “Did you kiss this woman?” asked thé court.

O'Brien's batting and Jennings’ and Lange's fielding were the features. Pond and Clarke and Rhines and Donohue were the tatteries. The Pittsburg club yesterday drafted Third Baseman Atherton of the Wilkes- barre Eastern League club, and Pitcher Scott of Grand Rapids. Both players are well recommended. The St. Louis players wintering at home are agitating a game between players rep- resenting that city and a team of Cincin- natians. Bill Joyce and Jack Crooks are back of the scheme, but the need of a manager will probably keep the Cincinnati boys out of the game. Both St. Louis and Cincinnat! have a large number of first- class players who claim these cities as their homes, but the mound city has about 1 per cent the best of it, owing to the bat- tertes that could be called on to help out the team representing that city. Breiten- stein, Donohue and Sudhoff are a formida- ble trio, with Ehret as about the only man to oppose them. A game between the two cities would certainly attract widespread attention. A special from Louisville says: From a member of the Louisville Base Ball Club it was learned last night that the players for next season had been practicaily de- cided on. Wiison and Dexter will be the catchers. There will be six pitchers on the list. They are Hill, Frazier, Cunningham, Magee. Newton and Thomas. Dillard will hold down first base, while Smith will be on the second sack.’ Clingman has been elected for third. Stafford will continue as shortstop, while the outfielders will be Clarke, Wagner and Nance. Newton and Thomas are the new men, and are as yet unknown quantities in the big league. From what the directors say. Stafford, drafted from Milwaukee, and Lewee will not be in the club next year, and Perry Worden will also ‘be left out. There were a dozen pitchers on the pay roll last year. They_were Frazer, Hiil, Cunningham, Wad- dell, Magee. Herman, management has decided to cut down this cxpense just one-half and put on six good men. This is the program as outlined by one of those behind the throne. When Pitcher “Red” Ehret first blossom- ed out he used to “mix it up” a bit. One day he would pitch and the next day he would take a turn behind the bat. Peltz and Vaughn did the same thing. Breiten- stein, odd . r played outside of the pitcher's McPhee a catcher when he first ught for the Davenport, . “Popper” Bill Schriver took ther route. He started as a third seman and became a backstop. “Pop- ined out” in fast company as third seman for the Brooklyn team. He play- ed thirty-two games on the bag and then became a catcher.—Sporting News. Dwyer and Rhines, except at A special from Winona, Minn., says: O. P.

He came here about two weeks ago and entered the hospital to be under the treatment of a local specialist. He was suffering from tumors in the throat, and had had severa! burrow escapes from asphyxia while at Lake City from intense inflammation of the cpiglottis and tubercular deposits in the throat. He improved after going to Wino- but a few days ago the left lung col- sed and he grew rapidly worse. Tues- day morning he was told that he could live but a few hours longer, but replied that he had no fear of death, and would be glad to be retieved of pain. He had just read a letter from his little daughter, and was un- usually cheerful.

Betsy Sanders Makes a Hit in the Gold Fields, Alaska Corr. of the Chicago Chronicle, Betsy Sanders is the best dressed woman in Skaguay. She struck the camp six weeks ago, having reached St. Michael from Mprt Townsend on one of the early June boats. Betsy was a concert singer in the halls of the Pacific coast circu!t and she now enjoys the distinction of being the first woman to lift up her voice in melody in the gloomy gold fields of Alaska. The first night she sang 300 or 400 miners cheered and “dusted” her until her head fairly ‘buzzed with ela- tion. She had no make-up, her costumes having been left at St. Michael. She sim- ply was a plain-looking, shabbily dressed | Woman of thirty-three, but despite years of singing in smoke-choked concert halls in the states her voice was wonderfully clear and strong. The songs she sang were, of course, not up to date in the states, but they were fresh as the wind in Skaguay. Perhaps no woman ever reached so much rough but good-natured adulation in a mining camp. When the first night show was over—and this was after midnight, although it was still light—the miners decked her out with strips of red fiannel, put a miner's hat on her head, and then, placing her upon their shoulders, marched up and down the main street, singing a lusty chorus to her son Then they bought the best shack in te camp and presented it to the rough and ready songstress. Night after night she sang in the Arctic Moon gambling house just before the game began, and, while gamblers are usually su- ; Perstititious about such things, the faro bank seemed to do wonders for the pro- prietors of the Arctic Moon. With the vent of Betsy furs and jim-crack jewelry came to her in abundance, and before the month was over she was dressed from head to foot in male attire in the richest of Alaskan furs. ++ He Tied a Snake Around His Neck.

While playing at noon the boys found a large coachwhip under a log. They sur- rounded it and began jumping upon it with their bare feet. A lad of twelve, thinking the snake dead, put it around his neck for necktie. The coachwhip wasn’t dead, and josed in on the boy's neck, but was finally | putied off. The pain was not severe, but | the fright was terrible. ‘oo nee eateleeeceteeceteececececectetececetectes % ee Hecht & Company, 515 Seventh Street. Stet entry fees. J. S.

The last quarter was made in 30% seconds, the time for the last half mil2 being 1:01%, and the great pacer fin- ished strong and true, nearly four seconds ahead of the record made by W. W. P. at Terre Haute in 1895. An hour later Joe Patchen made his at- tempi to lower the record of 2:06% to high- wheeled sulky. The quarter was reached in 32% seconds, but the second quarter showed a decrease of speed, the time being the three-quarters was reached in % flat, and the mile in 2:06%, half a sec- ond short of Johnson's old mark.
