one hundred Thousand pullaloes Kllled.

The Danver (Col.) Ncws states that
the station OF Dodge City. on the AtChi.
son, Topeka and Santa Fe road, is the
principal point Of shipment OF the buffalo
meat'and hides in Kansas. They do
very little besides outfit hunters, bar.
ter, and quarrel over game, extinguish
disputes and disputers ut the point OF
arms, and have lively times generally,
The arithmetic OF the extinction Of the
bison Of the Plains Is terrible, and, il
the statistics be right, II would seem
that the flush times in meat and hides
cannot last long. The railroad reached
Dodge on the 23d Of last September, and
since that time 5000 hides have been
shipped, and in the same brief season
1886, 900 pounds OF buffalo meat. Each
hide counts o buffalo shin, and $1,000
hides in three. months convey IN idea
OF magnificent butchery that forecasts
tho speedy extinction OF the prairie
denizen. The bnilaloes that arc killed
in summer, or early autumn, in wanton
cruelty, iniscalled sport, and for food
by the frontier residents, arc not taken
into this account. The greater portion
Of this meat Inns been shipped to Kansas
City, St Louis, Chicago, and other
Eastern cities. The above figures,
though indicating an immense Slnugh.
ter, do not represent the total OF this
seasons hunt, Tho grand total for the
season Of 1928, around Dodge, will
reach 100, 600 head.

English sleepIng.Cars.

For the first time in the history OF the
country sleeping-car was run on
British railway in the month of Febru-
ary, 1873. No one will be surprised to
learn that the affair was vastly inferior
to those in such general use in America.
The London NeWs gives description
OF the single car thus far in use, 1t is
thirty feet long, about half the length
of n pullman sleeper" One end is
devoted to luggage compartment, the
other to m ordinary second.clNss COM
partment. The pRrt devoted to sleep
ing arrangements is eighteen feet in
length, in two saloons, each giving ac-
commodation to three passengers.
There is apparently no partition or cur
tains, between the beds, so that unless
there is party Of three to take COM
partment, one or more OF the beds must
be unoccupied, provided the travellers
are ut all particular about their sleeping
companions. The most singular thing
about this single sleeping car, owned by
n company that operates more than eight
hundred miles OF railway, is, that it is
not proposed to run it regularly, but
only when it has been specially be-
spoken. It is interesting TO learn that
the doors Of the cur open in such q way
that the occupant Of either bed may go
out without stepping over anybody;
but to do so he is obliged to dismount
at the foot Of his own bed, rs the three
mattresses touch each other at the side
and I'll up the whole space between the
sides Of the car.

What q Change.

Times have changed since 1924, when
on issuing invitations to public din
ner it was deemed necessary to lay down
"rules to be observed by gentlemen"
present on the occasion. Old records
bring to light tho fact that in 1924 those
officers who were invited to dine with
the Archduke OF Austria were instructed
by circular of the royal chamberlain
how to conduct themselves ut table.
They were directed to como neatly dress
ed in coats and boots, md not to enter
in half.drunken condition. At table
they were not to tilt up their chairs, nor
rock themselves, nor stretch their legs
at full length, nor drink after each
mouthful, lest they get tipsy too soon,
nor empty their goblets to the extent Of
more than one.half after each dish, and
before drinking therefrom they should
wipe their mouths and mustaches in n
Clearly manner; neither were they to
thrust their hands into dishes, or throw
bones under the table, nor TO fall from
their chairs and make themselves incap.
able Of walking straight.

The Bel Air Asis made its appearance
in an enlarged form, last week. 1t is a
good county paper, and deserves the liber-
al support given to 1t by the citizens Of
that county. We are sorry, however, to
see it, like several other Marylaed journals,
in the hands Of the Philistines, or Adver-
Using Agents, whose undermining policy
is working continual injury to the rural
press, BY crcwding their columns with dis
tant advertisements at rates far below
those charged local advertisers, on which
beggarly sum they submit to farther re-
duction Of 20 per cent. commission to said
Agents. If the publishers of country
papers would refuse the use of their col
umns to these Agents, city advertisers
would pay established rates. As it is, they
get their advertisements published at less
than one-fourth the rates charged local
advertisers. And here is the injury sus-
tanned by the country press---they not
only lose what is due them as a fair com
pensation for the service rendered, but
these advertisements generally possess but
little interest for their readers, and crowd
out reading matters which, if inserted,
would make the country papers more in
teresting to their patrons, and consequent
y increase their circulation.

where, and Of their acts and measures, and Of
their plans and policy, right or wrong. Hence
his inglorious defeat. Local grievances and
preiudices will not account for it. The Con-
necticut people have struck, through him, at
those above him and beyond him, and this
defeat Of Haven is warning and rebuke to
the Republican party Of the State and the ma
ton. In the results Of other recent elections,
in ST. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland and else,
where, there are evidences or indications not
only Of general apathy in the Republican
camp, but Of general characterization. In the
State elections of September, October and
November next, from present Appearances
this Republican INSTRUMENTATION against marty
rings and party candidates will be very en-
phatically made manifest The issues between
the opposition and the dominant party. grow

doings OF the late Congress have hardly yet
taken definite shape but in the interval to
the fall elections the Republican budget Of
blunders at Washington and that at Albany
