Every recurring hunting theon gives evidence of that ( act , AB It docs of i lie tact that this country Is evolving a Infilling cct similar to that which occupies BO much attention among our English COM- tins , anil furnishes so much material to the Hvlflsh artist. In ( net It may bo said of the American game preserve that It him arrived , foV beginnings have been made In several quartern on pretentious estates that promise In time to rival or excel the great game rcpeivalions of Europe. Game preserving Is a pnntlmo that ( teems likely to supplant horse racing and palnco building In the affections o ( the American millionaire , and It Is proba- blfs that within the next twenty-five yearn the t'n ted States will have the most magnlfl. cent and best Blocked game preserves In the World. 'During the past summer Mr. William C. IVhl noy has started a big private game prc- icrvc of the European model , and be la partly state property anil partly belonging tn wealthy private citizens , like the Webbs. Of course there are very few places where preserves can be established by simply fencing In a portion of the aboriginal forest , but In come of the more settled parts of the country scarcely less pretentious game reser vations arc being built up. The magnificent estate which Mr. George Vanderbllt Is laying out at naltlmoro will contain .1 game park. There Is an extensive and well stocked game farm In Florida belonging to some of the men Interested In the Plant system , and In many other parts of the country there nro loss elaborate preserves where native wild game IB to be found. Some of the sport- loving easterners who own ranches In the west have made thorn partial game pre serves. On Mr. Theodore Ilooscvelt'fi cattle ranch , for Instance , every precaution Is taken to prevent the antelope from being scared away , and when the assistant secretary of the navy visits his western domain he can . have the satisfaction of occasonally bringing I down ono of these fleet-footed animals on bin own land , piiBSKuviNo VERY SMALL a AMR. The preso-vlng of smaller game Is largely In the hands of the various hunt clubs. The method Is Illustrated by the Ocnossoe Valley j Hunt club , perhaps the most famous fox hunting 'organization In the country. The I section ot country covered by the huntsmen [ of this Club U about twenty miles long by six or BO veil miles wide , and lies along the QcnoEsec river In western New York. It Is a country of rich farms , .but eo thoroughly Is the fox hunting spirit engrafted on the rc- clon that the farmers seldom make objec tion to having their fields trampled over and their fences knocked down. In fact , many of the tillers of the soil like to join tn the hunt themselves. Accordingly Hcynard is _ carefully protected until October comes , and 1 then ho Is mercilessly pursued up hill and down dato'by tbo members of the hunt club. SCENES ON CHEAT AMERICAN GAME PRESERVES. rapidly stocking It with American game , largo and small. Mr. Whitney Is renowned for doing things on a largo scale , and when Ue decided to establish a game preserve ho began by buying a mountain October mountain , It Is called four miles from fash- Ion's famous summer place at Lenox. The mountain , with the surrounding holdings In Jlr. Whitney's hands , Include 8,000 acres , rnrjt of this Is made up of woodland , part of It consisted of abandoned farms and part of It was occupied by tilled fields down to the time It came Into the possession of the Standard oil and street railway magnates. WILLIAM C. WHITNEY'S PLANS. At present Mr. Whitney plans to give Up about one-half of his Berkshire estate tp the big game which he Is bringing from dtftcicnt paits of the country. His first nsqulsltlon was a herd of thirteen buffaloes brought from the northern Rockies. The chief of the held has been named McKlnlcy He welgha nearly 3,000 pounds and has a > Ts. position that Is not at all cheerful. Thu tlrst thing that McKlnlcy did when he was turnou Into his 800-acro run along with his twelve companions was to ruuh against the nine ami a half foot steel wire fence that had been built to restrict them. As the fence ' lind previously been tested by running a i' small engine against It , McKlnlcy made but ellght Impression on It an < \ he settled down to graze contentedly on his big range. Another rough and rocky 1,000-acio In- closurc Is given over to a small herd of antelope. They arc exceedingly shy and have been seen only once or twice even by iho gamekeepers since they were turned Into their now playground , but It is supposed that they ere well and happy. Mr. Whitney has also a herd of twenty-five elk on his estate , and another season will add some fleer , and possibly a moose to his zoological aggregation , Within a few years ho will . , , probably have the finest collection of big gamYto bo found on any private range In lie country. Half a dozen gamekeepers are employed on his big game farm to look after Hie. animals and keep the fences In repair. Mr. Whitney Is Interested In preserving game , but not In xhootlng It and It Is not likely that his game farm will be hunted unless It becomes necessary to shoot a too obstreperous bison or In case ho wishes to treat his friends to the delight of antelope jftealc. ' TELEPHONES ON THD CORBIN E.3TATE . , On the hunting estate of the late Austin Corhln the arrangements for preservation of animals were very complete. In addition to 1ho ordinary Inclosures , the hunting lodges nd gamekeepers' huts were extensive af fairs , A complete system of Intercommuni cation existed by means ot telephones ex tending from hut to hut , so that the whole raiigti was , so to speak , within range of the lipail keeper's eye. Hunting on such ground would become a matter of ease , as the game fould bo traced by the most modern of methods. i Theio arc many small doer park In the United States , but of the large preserves in which deer are the principal game animals , the most Important Is undoubtedly located In the Adlromlacks. It comprises some 20- 000 acres of woodland In the heart of the mountains , and belongs to r. Seward Webb mill II , Walter Webb , The establishment of this picuerve was a simple matter once the land had been obtained. It consisted simply in running a barbed wire fence about the domain and adorning It with occasional signs announcing the fact that the Inclosuro was private property. Thu ardor of an Adiron dack tporlsman In pursuit of a deer will hardly balk at a barbed wire fence , and It la Ikoly that more than ono fat buck has been Blalu lu these private grounds. The owners have not attempted to fctock their estate as It was already well supplied with deer , rah- jilts , partridges and an occasional bear. The land linn been simply left to Ho In ltn orig inal Btato. So long as there IB plenty of good sport to bo bad In other parts of tlio Adirondack It Is not likely that the hunters will delib erately Intrude on the Webb estate. When the deer have been exterminated In the open grounds , tbo owners of this princely shoaling preserve may find "It necessary to employ Kmno keepers , but as yet the men employed ' on the estate have little to do except to warn off camping parties and keep the thirty or forty miles of wlro fencing In repair. At present the Webb lands are very little hunted , Dr. Seward Webb has a line c mp llure and usually spends a short time each autumn there with a parly of friends , but for the mo t part the game feeds and thrives and Increases undisturbed. It U doubtful If the Webbg have , or ever will tsei foot on more than a small fraction of their Adiron dack holdings. They are not enthusiastic hunters and are iuteiested lu preserving the natural wild game rather than In shooting It. NEW VOIllC STATE PUKSnKVB. If the. state of New York adopts the plan proposed y Governor Black and creates a grral slate park In Ihe Adirondack along the same line as Yellowstone , tto Empire elate will have along Us northern border one ol ( Ue Quest game prmrve * In tk world , who reside In Buffalo , Hochestcr and other New York cities. In several of the states the quail , the ac knowledged premier of American birds from j the tportsinan's point of view , are still suftl- ' clentlv numerous to bold tnclr own with the protection of the game laws. . In .New York , Now Jersey and Connecticut , however , there are clubs devoted to the preservation and encouragement of Bob White for ten months and a bait out of the year , and to his exter mination during the remaining six weeks. Ono of the best known of these is the Robbins - bins Island club , which owns Robbtus Island , off the Long Is'.and coast , and hunts It under the club regulations for a brief seasan each year. Quail and other wild fowl are en couraged to come to these preserves , but there Is no iplaco In this country where birds are ralced for Bhootiirg as pheasants are abroad. OTHER NOTABLE PRESERVES. Though there are now no American pre serves to carefully stocked and maintained as those of Europe , It Is likely that with i timd and the growth ot a hunting set the same pilns In providing game for the guns will be used , Already the American pre serves dwarf most of these In Europe In extent - | tent and excel them In variety of game. The , largest private game preserve In the world Is that established by the late Baron Hlrsch In Hungary. But here rabbits and pheabanU are the only game taken. There are plenty of these , however. On one occasion a party | of ton , of whom the prince of Wales was one , shot 3,000 pheasants In one day , and on another - | other date killed 1,900 rabbits. The "bag" i on this great shooting preserve was fre quently so great as to tax the capacity of the baron's great larder , which held 9,000 head of game and was the largest ever built. In his great preserve near the famous Hartz mountains , Emperor William Is sometimes able to bring' down bear , but Mr. "Whitney and Mr. Roosevelt and Dr. Webb can shoot buffalo and antelope and red doer and bear , too , If they wish , As for quail , which are much superior to pheasants , they can always bo relied on , and rabbits arc too numerous to mention. So there Is little doubt that America will have In time the finest private hunting grounds In the world. GOSSIP AIIOUT XOTiil 1'ICOl'I.n. MUs Susan B. Anthony's father , It Is said , was seriously warned against marrying his wife , who was Lucy Reed , His family con sidered her too worldly to be a suitable wife for a Quaker , because she sang and danced and wore pretty clothes. The night before the wedding the young couple went to a neighbor's , and the young girl danced until 4 o'clock in the morning. It Is said that after her marriage , the next day , ehe never danced again. A monument to the memory of Raphael In his native city of Urblno , luy ! , was dedi cated a few days ago. It is the wotk of the j sculptor Belli , now a professor at the Acad- i emy or Turin. Raphael , who died In 1620 , ' has waited nearly 400 years for this mark of recognition on the part of his follow towns men. The erection of such a memorial to the Immortal painter WBB recommended In 1SG5 by Victor Emmanuel , but has only Just been accomplished. Justice Stephen J. Field of the supreme court of the United States , as IB well known , has broken the record for loug Judicial serv ice In Washington , which was established by Chief Justice Marshall , who served thirty- four years flvu months and flvo days. John .Marshall was a native of Virginia , born twenty years before the outbreak of the rev olutionary war , and appointed a Justice of the United Stales supreme court In 1801 , when 10 years of age. He served until his death In 1S35 , and was then SO. He died In Philadelphia , Stephen J. Field was born In Connecticut In 1S1C. He has served longer on the bench of the supreme court than Chief Justice Marshall did , and he U now one year older than Judge Marshall was when ho died. Mr. Fluid was appointed by President Lin coln In 1863 , and he was the first representa tive of the extreme west and northwest , or Iho Pacific coast , on the bench of ( but tribunal. Some tlnio next month the equestrian statue of iMaJor General John F. Hartranfl will bo unveiled In front of iho new capital building In Karrl&burg , Pa. The model ls now being made In Paris.

It Is n ceremony 'hi which the participants are apt to be married In haste and divorced at leisure. Marriage Is n serious matter when the bonds arc tied on earth , but there are seven couples entered for the high privilege of having the ceremony performed In a balloon In response to an Invitation given by the managers of the Onondaga , N.

It was a brilliant event , attended by about every member of the organization , and will go down In tbo un- nals of the club as the greatest thing since joung Mr. Harrison's triumph. The man In New York who sold his wife for a gold watch and chain valued at $150 must have had the Idea that wives are goods and chattels , to be disposed of like slaves In ante-bellum days. But mark you , there is this Important distinction : The wife was qulto willing to bo sold because she thought she was getting the better of the bar gain. gain.Miss Miss Fannie Hayes , the only daughter of the late President Hayes , was married laat Thuiajay to Harry Eaton Smith , an ensign in the United States navy. The ceremony took place at'Fremont , O. President McKln lcy and his wife attended the wedding. Central Hayes commanded the regiment In which Mr. McKlnlcy went to war , and the president of twenty years ago was warmly attached to the president of today. Mlos Fannlo Hayes Is a blonde. Once In a white a newly married man who Is on his wedding "tower" forgets the Im portance and responsibility of his new posi tion in life and forgets to register his Wife's name at the hotel , but It Is very seldom that a man goes to the other extreme , qnd , , with premeditation , announces to the won dering and admiring world , through , tlio medium of the hotel register that he has Just recently taken unto himself a wife. In Cincinnati , however , a register bears the fol lowing luacrlptlon : "Fred Bennett and bride , Cairo , 111. " The engagement is announced in Chicago of Miss Lynn H.

She was born In Chicago and made her preparatory studies in the local schools and finished at the seminary at Lake Forest. About twenty-five men and women In Bos ton are trying to establish a branch of the English. Legitimation league there. The ob ject ot the league Is practically to abolish the marriage ceremony and substitute for It a contract dissoluble at will by which the man and the woman shall agree to live to gether as husband and wlfo and to recognize as legitimate any children that may bo bom to the union. Among the members of the society are two middle-aged women with socialistic ( tendencies , two Boston bluestock ings , a young 'English ' girl , an elderly an archist and a young Kusslan of good family , but an unpronouiceablo name , who works in Boston and resides In one of the suburbs. Edgar CIssel of Taylorsvllle , Spencer county Kentucky , and Mayme Thompson of Nelson county , Kentucky , eloped to Jeffer- sonvllle , Ind. , to marry , but the ceremony did not take place. After reaching the Jus tice's olllce Miss Thompson concluded that she was not so anxloun to become n bride. Miss Ella Ernsplker and William Lee and wife , who accompanied the co.uple , used their in fluence with the young woman , and she at last consented to'have the affair take place. By this tlmo Mr. Clssel was out of the no tion. Ho said his patience had been ex hausted , and If that was a Sample of what married life would be he would'"pass It up , " as one of the party expressed It. The others Implored him to reconsider bul ho was ob durate and the party started back to their homes. Champagne Is a restorative if pure.

The attention of medical men and scientists generally was recently attracted to the re markable case of Mamie Sterhaus , a 13- year-old girl living In New York City , who was twice brought out of a trance by the strains ot a violin. While the case presented was remarkable. Instances of still more remarkable markable- cures by the aid ot music are on record. The employment of musical instru ments as a curative agent for a large num ber of1 nervous and temperamental disorders has until aulte recently been regarded In the light of a fashionable fad. But music as a mcdicluc has now passed out of the experimental stage Into that of an exact science , 'which Just now Is engaging the serl- on the violin , while another patient was cured of hysteria by repeated passages from Boetjioven's sonata , "Pathetlque , " played on the pianoforte. In London at the big temperance hospital , and In Chicago at the Hypnotic Institute , music has been brought into the sphere of practical therapeutics. It has remained for the London Guild of St. Cecelia , however , to place music squarely on a footing with every other known method of treating bodily and mental aches and disorders. Indeed , It Is nearer the truth to say tnat this institu tion has discarded every other curative meads , supplanting them with music alone. Working side by side In this hospital are doctors and musicians the first to diagnose a case , the second to administer on flute , violin or piano the necessary melodic medi cine. A staff of musicians equal In numbjr to the staff of doctors Is constantly In at tendance. Canon Harford and Dr. George Blackmann are the chief directors of this the most original and unique hospital In the world. MUSICIANS AND SINGERS EMPLOYED. At the Guild of St. Cecelia men and women musicians , especially trained to sing and play soft music , are employed with a view to their Individual qualifications , just the same as If they were giaduatcs of a medical college or a school for r.urbes. There Is kept In readiness at the guild a perma nent choir , and the acoustics of tbo main and private dormitories are carefully looked after. It has been found that there exists a great difference between the effect of music given to alleviate pain and that given to produce sleep.

This medico-musical Institute Is quite unknown to the general public ; It Is maintained by a number of well-to-do doc tors , musicians and scientific investigators , who do not ee&k any selfish benefit from their unique investment other than that which the pleasure of seeing their pet theo ries successfully demonstrated affords , RESULT OF ErPEHIMEN'lsj. The most Indefatigable Btudenl of ircattrcnt method Is Dr. Bo- bj- the medico-musical - 8chlnt > ky , a promlnenl Uubsan : physician , who Is fnlhuslasllc over the success he has achieved In tbo line of his Investigations , The London Laacel has given many de scriptions of Dr. Dtwchlnsky's wprk. He has confined his experlmenls chiefly to children. Ho has discovered that music , in which the minor chords abound , produced under proper conditions a somnolent state In young pa tients suffering from acute Insomnia. One lltlle girl addicted to nightmare and sleep lessness was put lo rcsl with a few bars of a Chopin walls In A minor , played softly Ing to Canon Harford'a observations , the manic must bo low and more or less mono tonous , while the melody Intended lo ills- tract the patient's mind from bis physical buffering should be lively , but soft. Instances of patients suffering fiom melancholia and dellilum tremens are quoted by Dr. Ulack- mann as having become perfectly calm , sane and happy after listening to the peculiar style of music found after many experiments lo bo best adapted to such cases , Patients suffering from accidents , both of which often produce melancholia , have been helped to speedy recuperation by means of music. There are certain composers , however , to listen to whoso music would exaggerate some of the more common nervous disorders to the point of hysteria. Wagner Is one of iheso Initant composers , which proves the humor ous writers not far wrong in their seem ingly far-fetched presumptions , High , rharp notes will undo In a few minutes the sooth ing effects of harmonious chords played for an hour. It Is a difficult tusk lo select the proper singers and players ; they must above all things understand the value of modulated tones. Out of tweniy singers , Dr. Illack- mann could tolect but ibreo who could ting ve'y piano , and who were , ihcreforo , of value lu the wauls of this musical hos- pltal. One of Ihe most Important and valuable achievements of the St Cecilia guild Is the tabulallon. by lnslruinont& and ihelr notes , 'of Iho effect upon all sorts and condition of patlenlB , Hy a glance at one of Ihcse medico- inuilcal charts one can nee Ihe precise effect of a given note on a given Instrument In a given case. Thus , a chord In B minor will produce a marked quieting of the nerves ; B chord In G sharp will show an almost In stant change of mood from depression to ono of comparative cheerfulness , and so on. A succession ot minor chords played andante will move the patient to tears , while a num ber of chords plajed In D sharp with allegro movement will arouse the patient's Interest and Induce him to tap band or foot In time with the music's wing. The therapeutic value of the piano Is known to a note ; for over.v k-nil of ache there seems to be a cor responding note or a combination of notes. The violin , curiously enough , stands at the top of the list among the Instruments best adapted for hospital use. Placing the ther apeutic value ot the violin at 100 , the piano comes next at 99 , the 'cello at 98 , and the reed organ at 95 ; the flute Is placr.l at 90 , the mandolin at 89 , the guitar at 87 , the zllher at 85 , the banjo at GO , and the mouth organ , or harmonica , very low down In tbo scale , somewhere between 35 and 40. HUMAN VOICE STANDS BY ITSELF. The medical authorities who have given the aubject attention all agree that te'uois should sing to female patients and sopranos to male. The human voice , in the St. Cecilia guild's tabulation of sound effects , stands by itself ; In many cases where no musical Instrument has been successful In achieving a cure u song has put the patient on the high road to recovery. Experiments upon animals as well as hu mans have been made with varying de grees of success at the St. Cecilia guild. It is a known fact that dogs will yowl In a most dismal fashion If certain notes are played on a cornet , while they will elt In sllenco and evident enjoyment when certain other strains arc played upon a violin. DucltH , according to Dr. Blackmann's asser tions , love the notes of a flute as do also sheep and cows. Monkeys can be driven to dlslractlon by a shrill whistle , but will listen attentively lo the music of a harmon ica. Chickens dislike any Kind of music , Ihough they will show some interest In a a. concertina or an accordion. The snake's love of the flute or reed pipes Is too well known to need any further mention here ; crocodiles , turtles and snails are as impervi ous to the charms of music as their shells are to the attacks of their enemies. But of all animals gifted with an car for rmislci the hoise Is the irfost appreciative. A horse will prick up his ears in an ccstocy of equine enjoyment at the first notes of a bugle and even a decrepld old hand organ does not seem to bo wholly without Interest to "man's best friend. " Taking the mailer as It stands today , Iho relationship of music lo medicine scums to bo a close and Interesting one. That thn field has been but partially plowed Is shown by the scantiness of the crop of facts brought forth. However , the day when every well- managed and thoroughly equipped hospital will have Its regular staff of musicians iloc'u not seem to bo go very far In the future ; HID violin , Ihe piano and the harp have , after all , a higher mission thun the cn-atlon of discord In tlio home.

In the neighborhood of Jamestown , N , D. , Iho barley crop has increased 18.3 per cent In acreage over that of last year , lh mm crop 139 per cent , , the wheat crop 27.3 per cent , the oat crop 9,8 per cent , and the Ilax crop B per cent. A Belgian gourmand of Mons has be queathed $3,000 to five friends for an annual dinner , which they must attend , dressed In mourning , entering thu room wilh a flag lo Um muslo of an accordion , iho bill of faro to contain his favorite dishes and wines. Mosl Kansas counties pay a bounty on wolvrs killed. Yet wolves In that state have In a year killed only 1,100 sheep , ac cording lo statistics collected by a member of the Stale Board of Agriculture , while the lor,570 dogs owned there have killed 1,291 sheep. In Mexico everything and everybody pays a direct tax , from the street poitcr to the loigeui mercantile ; establishment , and the stamp tax for documents Is equally lucrative. Even placards and posters , other than your own In > our own house , must bear a Eta nip , A German surgeon Is now healing wounded hearts. Ho Is Mr. Kelln of Frankfort-on- Uu'-Maln , and be told tlio surgical congress of Berlin that when a man stabbed through Ihe heart was brought to his hospital not long ago ho laid bare the organ and checked the hemorrhage by means of a suture. The patient was then exhibited to the congress alive and well. "It has long been supposed , " says the Outlook , "that the most stArtllng genealogi cal claim Is that of Ihe Nexus of Abyssinia , who Insists that his dezrcut has been In a straight line from the ujilon of Solomon with Ihe ( jucia of Shvbat but some one has discovered a noble family In France , the counts of Nee , who not only claim Noah ns their remote ancestor , but show on their Xamlly blazon that veteran seaman In the ark. " Mrs. Louisa Williams of San Lendro , Cal. , walks for a quarter of a mile- over a "stony road on her bare knees once n year to keep her vow. Two weeks ago she accomplished the feat for the seventeenth time. Seven teen years ago she prayed that her hus band's sight might be restored. She vowed that If her prayer was answered she would walk on her bared knees from her house to the church once a year. He.1 husband re gained his sight and the woman kept her vow. During a terrific thunderstorm at Colum bia , Mo. , when John W. Allln and his wife started from Cenlralia , Mo. , to Columbia , driving a two-horse learn , lightning struck Mrs. Allln upon the crown of her head , burnIng - Ing away half of her hail , melting several hairpins , and then passed down her side , melting her steel corsets and tearing the buggy seat to pieces. The electricity then passed forward and Instantly killed both horses. Mrs. Allln was unconscious for sev eral hours , but will recover. The buggy was utterly demolished , but Mr. Allln , who sat beside his wife , said ho did not receive the slightest Injury. A recent statistical estimate places the number of newspapers winch nro annually printed at the enormous figure of 12,000- JOO.OOO. A mathematician , apparently with considerable tlmo at his disposal , In order lo give a more comprehensive Idea of this number , has calculated tliat a surface ot 30,000 square kilometers could be covered with these papers. The paper alone' weighs , 781,240 tons. Jn case one machine waa forced to print thcso millions at the rate of one a second , 333 years would bo neces sary. Placed one upon another the paperi would reach to the height of 80,000 meters. Assuming that a person dcvolcs flvo mill- ulcs a day to reading his paper , the time used by the entire population of the world In reading newspapers each year amount * to 100,000 years.
