Hunting Big Game at World's Fair
Fine Examples of Taxidermist's Skill
How would you- enjoy stalking ?
herd of moose in the forests of .Minne
sota? How would you like a contest
with a brown bear, or a wild cnt.'
What would you think of a hunt fin
hippopotamus and giraffe in the wiM.s
of Africa? All these big game thiil's
are to'be had, by a man who is blcsseJ
with vivid imagination, in the Palace
of Forestry. Fish and Game, at the
world's fair.
There are two kinds of hunters
those who kill game for the pure Ji.-e
f killing it, and those who regard the
slaughter as a necessary evil and the
one disagreeable part of hunting. T'e
latter class may fimi the keenest n
Joyment in this mimic game preserve,
where all varieties of wild animals an'
fowls are brought together. To the
instinctive sportsman the exhibits in
this building may serve as reminder
of his own triumphs with the gun.
Indeed, this astor ishing collection of
stuffed and mounted animals is of i.r
versa! interest, if one may judge b;
the crowds that are at all times a;
Kcmhlcd around the exhibits. Men
who neier handled a gun. gentle ladies
and timid.- children are among !
most interested of the spectators.
These once terrible but now hannl ss
creatures appeal to its as a living
menagerie " boh it d secure iron bai
does. Yet the animals in the game
display post ess one advantage over
those in the cage They are quite a .
safe, and they are in their natural
-betting.
One of the most popular groups is
the bear's raid on a honey tree. I'iie
n'otlier lear. holding tight to the hoi
low trunk with her sharp claws, is de
fying the swarm of angry bees wMIe
jiho drops the sections of rich comb
down to her expectant cubs. The situ
'ation is one that appeals to every
child. For some unexplained reason
the bear is the n'rst animal to invade
the nursery. He is on the second pa;o
of the "A It C" hook. The boy who
wishes to frighten his little sister in
variably plajh he is a heir, and the
bugaboo that ge's bail children is sure
,lo be a heir. The place that honoj
occupies in the childish mind is too
well established to be questioned.
Another exhibit that both delights
and perplexes the little people is that
of the state of Washington. vor vari
ety of game this section is unsur
passed. There is everything from the
wool seal, that lives under the water,
to the eagle that lives above the
rlouds. There are deer, moose, bears
and wolves: but the astonishing part
of the display if, tie procession ot
small hears around the outer edge of
the booth. It is a procession that
never gets any farther, for each he.it
occupies exactly the same spot on
which he stood at the opening of the
exposition. They aie all erect on their
haunches, and each one carries an
electric liglM bulb. One smail boy
whose father is in the habit of goirg
for an annual hear hunt in the nort'i
west remarked to his mother after he
had contemplated the Washington sec
tion for some minute;:
.".Mamma. I think ,npa ought to go
out there next time. The bears carry
lanterns so that von can see them a
night when they can't see you. It is
ever so much safer than hunting '.
daylight."
The hunter who was caught in t'e
act of being pounced upon by a teiri
ble bear, aad was possessed of s'-ch
courage and pretence of mind that -warded
off the attack with the butt of
his gun. ard has succeeded in warding

an experience with his five hundred
errploycs. some of which are aniusir.r.
It is the custom of the house thaf
each buyer lurch with the especial
salesman who has him in charge, a,
the expense of the house.
One day Mr. Borgfeldt called an ex
pert but always overdrawn and hard
up sale.-man to him.
"Shaefer," said he, "when was if you
took Mr. So-and-so out to lunch? I
see you have us charged up with a
lunch for him."
"Yesterday," replied the salesman
readily.
"What time?" .
"In the middle of the day." asserted
the salesman without hesitation.
Mr. Borgfeldt shook his head uncom
prehendmgly.
"That is remarkably strange." de-
dared he. "because it was yesterday in
the middle of the day that I took him
out to lunch myself." Philadelphia

pared to conduct the argument with

"Stranger." said a Texan to the
lomrus man. "it would be a good
idee fur you to lay down on the floor
till this dispute is settled."
"It does not comport with the dig
nity of a Boston gentleman of my
profession," said the pompcus gentle
man, "to wallow in the dirt on the
floor."
"Yon may be right, stranger," an
swered the Texan, as be prepared to
recline, "but my opinion is that you
had better lose yer dignity fur the

CEORGE L. WATSON OEAO.
Heart Disease Carries Off Famous
Scotch Yacht Designer.
George Lennox Watson, yacht de
signer, who has for some time pact
been ill, died at his residence in
Glasgow, Scotland, Nov. 12. Heart
disease was the cause.
In the death of George h. Watson,
the yachting world has lost from its
ranks one of the most prominent sup
porters of the sport and the world of
naval architecture one of its leading
members. Mr. Watson was almost as
well known in America as in Europe,
and the results of his labors as a de
signer of both racing and cruising
craft are quite as familiar to American
yachtsmen as to ihose abroad. His
efforts to design a vessel that would
win the America's cup made him a
conspicuous figure this side of the At
lantic, and though his failures in the
Thistle, in the Valkyries and the
Shamrock II. are matters of well
remembered yachting history, his
productions in this line invariably
frightened the defenders of the old
trophy, and thus the New York Yacht
club, together with the millions of our
patriotic citizens only breathed - with
freedom when his vessels were de
feated in the last races of their inter
national matches.
FINNS IN CZAR'S SERVICE.
Seemingly Favored for Positions of
Responsibility.
Some astonishment is being ex
pressed because the czar, who so dis
trusts the Finns in their own country,
appoints so many to responsible posi
tions in th'e fighting service. His min
ister of marine, Admiral Avellan. is,
of course, of Finnish origin. So is
Admiral Wirenius, who was recently
given an important command. Gen.
Grippenberg, another Finn, who comes
of a family that fought for Charles
XII. and Gustavus III., is to he the
colleague and equal of Kuropatkin if
he does not supersede him. "What is
the reason of it all?" an inquisitive
person asked a young diplomat in
London recently. With precocious
wisdom and caution that aspiring
youth replied: "Well, you know, when
a man can't bring a fight to a finish
the best thing he can do is to send
the Finnish to the fight."
LEAVES THE PENSION OFFICE.
Commissioner Ware's Resignation Ac
cepted by the President.
Commissioner of Pensions Ware on
Nov. 14 tendered his resignation o
the president and it was accepted,
to take effect Jan. 1. For years it has
been definitely known that Mr. Ware
would retire from his office soon after
the fall elections and return to his
home in Kansas to resume his law
practice. It is believed that Commis
sioner Ware's action was not due to
any suggestion that the severance o'"
his relations with the pension office
would be agreeable to the president.
CALLED THE JUDGE'S BLUFF.
Lawyer Well Acquainted With the
Habits of His Honor.
Congressman Bankhead, of Ala
bama, has a weakness for gambling
stories. One that he tells is or a time
when a spasmodic attempt was being
made to drive gamesters out of Mo
bile. A witness was on the stand
testifying for the defense, it being
well known that the judge was a skill
ful poker p'ayer. The witness talked
3f "going blind," "raising." "passing"
and so on, and finally his honor said
gravely: "Mr. Jackson, you are using
a good many of what I presume are
technical terms. Wilt you be good
enough to explain some of them?"
The witness, with equal gravity, re
plied: "I shall be pleased to do so,
you honor, if you will kindly let me
have your poker deck for a few mo
ments." Author Has Had Busy Life.
Charles Wagner, apostle of the sim
pie life and author of the book of that
name, is tall and large framed, with
urruly light hair and remarkably keen
and expressive eyes set in a face lined
and teamed and rugged with the
stress of time. His hands are s'ill
more deeply and closely wrinkled, the
hands of a strong man, but a man to
whom life has not brought luxury and
ease and indulgence, but one to whom
the days and the day's work have been
hard. The nervous, restless manner
betokens the incessant activity, the
unceasing expenditure of nerve force,
shown also in the sparkle of the
eyes, which seem to note and compre
hend the meaning of everything they
chance to fall upon.

GEN. LEW WALLACE FAILING.
Distinguished Soldier and Author
Thought to Be Nearing the End. .
Members of the family, as well as
dose friends, deny the statement that
his trouble is cancer of the stomach,
but the denials are couched in lan
guage so ambiguous as to leave little
doubt that this is the real trouble.
Gen. Wallace himself has apparently
given up hope "of recovery and is
awaiting the end. Letters he has
written to friends within the past
month say this in so many words
tnd a few of the aged" soldiers, com
rades in arms, who have called upon
him lately have received the samr;
word from his own lips.
Capt. McGrew ot Washington. D
C, was a called at the Wallace home
in this city a few weeks ago and to
the captain General Wallace said that
he did not expect to live through the
coming winter.
At the Wallace home it was learned
'that while Gen. Wallace is not con
fined to bis bed his strength is fail
ing rapidly. To the question. "Is
Gen. Wallace suffering from cancer
of the stomach?" no positive denial
was made.
All that was said was: "No. no; we
hope not. It seems to be merely an
aggravated case of chronic indiges
tion that has grown more severe u
Gen. Lew Wallace,

very weak and takes little notirish

is anything as serious as cancer."
MORGAN A LIBERAL GIVER.
Philanthropic Societies Helped by Him
in Secret.
Although J. Pierpont Morgan is
credited with gifts to philanthropic
enterprises which reach $1,000,000 a
year, his name does not appear on
any of the ten buildings in the eity
which were built with his money. The
greatest secrecy surrounds his charit
able work, which is much more ex
tensive than is generally supposed. As
a matter of fact. Mr. Morgan is well
up toward the head of the great giv
ers of the world. One of his chief
philanthropies is keeping boys off the
street. As vestryman in St. George's
church in Stuyvesa.it square. Man
hattan, he has organized a club lor
this purpose, and out of the club has
grown the New York Trade schcol, as
well as a smaller trade school con
nected with the church. Mr. Morgan
endowed the first club with $."i0O.0CO.
Among the gifts of Mr. Morgan are
$1,000,000 to Harvard college. $1,350.
000 for a private hospital in Stuyve
sant square. $500,000 for the Cathe
dral of St. John the Divine. $I00,u00
for the Young Men's Christian asso

library in Holyoke. Mass., where his
father was horn; $12f,000 for preserv

parish house and rectory in Stuyve

the Tiffany gem collection for the
Metropolitan museum.
WOMEN AT RACE TRACKS.
Racing Managers Seek for Means to
Discourage Them.
Racing managers in the east are
glad that the season is over, having
ended without a public outcry acainst
sport on the turf. They have feared
some such result because of the
marked increase in the number of
women who have been attending the
various tracks. "These speculators
begin by betting on tips or the judg
ment of friends." said one veteran
horseman, "but when the gambling
frenzy takes possession of them they
go to extremes. A woman will talk
to touts, stable boys and hangers-on
whom she has never met. and in this
way comes in close contact with men
of the worst morals, who do not hesi
tate to take advantage of every op
poitunity offered. It is likely that be
fore the next season opens some rules
will be established to discourage
women from going to the track."
PROMINENT IN MANY LINES.
Youthful British Statesman Has Had
Active Career.
William H. Grenfell. M. P.. now
prominent as a tariff reformer, has
played many parts, though still quite
a yourg man. He is the beau ideal
of British athleticism, having distin
guished himself at cricket, as oars
man, as pedestrian, as mountain
climber and as hunter of big game.
He has climbed the Alps, shot in the
Rockies and the Himalayas, swam
twice across Niagara and was stroke
of a racing eight that crossed the
English channel. Politically, he has
boxed the compass, having begun as
private secretary to the late Sir Wil
liam Vernon Harcourt. Now he is
not only a tory, but an ardent adher
ent of Joseph Chamberlain.
Tricky Chinamen.
An English writer, commenting on
the rumor that Gen. Kuropatkin al
lowed hcrses and mules to graze
among the graves of honored Chinese
dead, declares that Chinese are not
likely to be much shocked at such a
circumstance. He says that the re
ligions of the orient, of course except
ing Mohammedanism, are mere rituals
without meaning the dead husks of
forgotten faiths. He tells of a China
man whom he found burning counter
feit bank bills as a sacrifice to his
joss. It was pointed out to him that
the sacrifice was useless, as the notes
were worthless. To this the China
man replied, with a knowing leer:
"Joss no savvy."

SAID TO BE OLDEST MASON.
New Hampshire Man Vigorous in His
Hundred and Third Year.
James Bellows McGregor, of North
ville, N. H., who recently celebrated
his one hundred and third birthday, is
believed to be the oldest Mason in
the United States. Five generations
of his family joined in the celebra
tion. His one hundredth anniversary
was observed by 700 of the Masonic
fraternity. When above 90 Mr. Mc
Gregor painted the belfry of a church,
climbing to the top to finish the Job.
His health is still excellent, his figure
erect, his appetite good and he eats
what he likes. He is a great drinker
of coffee, but never uses liquor or to
bacco. He makes his home with a
son and grandchild in the old house
where he was born. Not long ago he
walked to the village store with his
granddaughter, Alice McGregor, aged
22 years, and on returning home old
age and youth were obliged to ascend
a hill. When the summit had been
nearly reached the centenarian turned
laughingly and yet with a serious
meaning to his young companion, re
marking: "Am I walking too fast for
you?"
COL. ANTHONY A BELIEVER.
Made Statement of Religious Creed on
His Deathbed.
Shortly before his death Col. D. R.
Anthony of Leavenworth said that if
an epitaph were to be put on hi.s
tombstono it should give the date el
birth and death and this summary of
his life: "He helped make Kansas a
free state. He fought to save the
union. He published the Daily Time?
for nearly forty years in the interest
of Leavenworth. He was no hypo
crite." As he neared the end he called
one of the members of the family to
his bedside and dictated the follow
ing statement relative to his religious
ideas: "I die in full confidence of a
divine power who made and controls
the universe. Whatever was made by
that divine power is perfect and re
mains perfect. We should do r.nto
others as we would be done by. I
don't believe God ever created a devil,
I don't believe that a devil exists any
where except in the heart of a man

FUNNY STORIES HURT TRADE.
Humorists Scare People from New
York's Famous Hotel.
The managers of the St. Regis
hotel. New York, complain that news
paper humorists are scaring people
away from the house with their
stories of the enormous expense inci
dent to living in the new hostelry.
Among the funny paragraphs printed
are these: "Waiter, bring me a plate
of St. Regis ice cream, if it does not
cost more than $!1L" "I regret that
we are all out of that. sir. The cheap
est thing is a chocolate eclaire. a
$."0O per half portion." "You can live
nicely at the Hotel St. Regis for $100,
000 a year. It is a caravansary whose
cachet will be so unmistakable that
none save those of the largest means
and the most unmistakable social
standing will care to he among its
patrons, so icy will be the reception
to others."
LEARNED MUCH IN CHINA.
Celestials Taught New York Surgeon
Meaning of Contentment.
A New York surgeon, who has been
attached to a hospital in Soochovv,
China, for some time, is home on a
brief visit. A friend asked him what
he had learned in China and the sur
geon replied: "Cheerfulness of mind
and stoical contentment. In New
York my chief trouble was trying to
forget that other men had more
money than I. No matter where I
turned it was to be brought face to
face with the ostentatious display of
riche3, and I tell you it was mighty
hard to he cheerful in my poverty.
Poverty, of course, is only compara
tive. In China it is easy to be cheer
ful and poor, and no trouble at all to
feel contented. Since making the
intimate acquaintance of the Chinese
I accept my lot in life with happy
philosophy and indifference. I am
not tormeuted by unreasoning ambi
tion and have forgotten the meaning
of envy."
Sarah Bernhardt' Life.
Here is a sample of Mme. Bern
hardt's breezy, easy style of writing,
from a letter written to a friend from
her fort on Belle isle in Brittany:
"You want to know what I do at Belle
isle. I rest. I rest by fatiguing my
self. I lead a paradoxical life at
Paris, as you know. One must
breathe, nevertheless. The same des
tiny which has made me the servant
of an art in which the brain, heart,
sensibility, intelligence alone work
has given me a taste, a need, -a mania
for physical movement. How do I
reconcile these two? I do not, but I
go to Belle isle. I see you laugh:
'What! Belle isle for nature so in
satiable? It is so little Belle isle.' "

Prominent members of the Roman
Catholic clergy in Washington ex
pressed their surprise at the an
nouncement that the Marquise
uos
Monstiers, formerly Miss M. G. Cald-
well, and the founder of the Catholic
universitv at Washington had re-
nounced the Catholic taith. In fact,
they were loath to believe she had
formed such a de'ermination
Bishop Spalding, of
Peoria, when
asked if he could assign any reason
for the Marquise des Monstiers ac
tion, he answered that he could not;
that he knew her only as a good
Rommi Catholic, and until the an-
nonncement was made had given no
thought otherwise. "It is all a mys
tery to me." he said.
One official of the Roman Latnonc
church attributed as a possible cause,
taking the story to be correct, the
notoriety which the university gained
by the failure of Thomas E. Wagga
man. its treasurer, by which the uni
versity suffered considerable finan
cial loss.
