The President Shoots a Deer.
From the Washington Post.


Yesterday the President had a most thrill
ling adventure with deer. A few of these
animals haze been placed al regular intervals
in the vicinity of the Presidents cottage, in
order that he may not be disappointed when
he goes out to shoot. This Is quite English,
you know.
When the President sailed forth after his
quarry. his bllly-cock hat was tilted at an
angle on the left side of his head. His yellow
corduroy pants were tied lightly around his
ankles with corset string. and his red shirt
shOne resplendentin the morning sun. 1t was
tied with bright green bow.
shy dear, you look quite like q dude" said
Mrs. c.. as she gazed in admiration upon her
husband.
The President smiled. 81 rather think this
is handsome" he said, and your correspond
ent jotted down the conversation in short
hand.
There were only three persons in the hunt
The President carried gun, the guide car
red bottle, and the Post man carried a
notebook.
"we leave one dear to finds mother deers,"
said the President.
"Hal hap laughed Mrs. Cleveland.
"Ha hap shouted DIR. Ward.
"Tinkle, tInkle. tinke." said little cow
bell under chestnut tree by the fence.
When the party started the first deer was
tied TO a tree about quarter Of mile away.
At a signal from the guide it was liberated.
Instead OF boiling away. as 1t had been
trained to do. 1t ran up in the most friendly
way to the President and began to nibble at
the green bow.
''Oh, DEAR" said the President. pathetically,
this will never doe" You see 1t was a little
girl deer and didn't know any better.
Half a mile further a place was found
where deer had been tied; but, great heav-
ems it had escaped The sport was now get
ting exciting.
Deeper and deeper the party pushed into
the woods. The great trees waved their arms
in joy at having such distinguished person
beneath their shady branches. The grass
quiYered In very ecstacy. The little birds
sang sweetly on the boughs. Your CORE
spoudent and the guide took drink.
At that moment the President saw IA deer
leaning against tree. Trembling with ex-
element he raised his brand new Winchester
rifle and fired SIX and half shots in rapid
succession. Each bullet entered the deer's
side, but the animal did not move. We
rushed to where it stood.
Great heavens, 1t was stuffed!

Missouri Getting Temperate.

Missouri used to be considered one of
the hard drinking States of the Union. 1t
was not so noted for drunkenness, per-
haps, as some OF its neighboring States,
but was at considerable discount when
1t came to the subject of temperance.
The growth of temperance of late years,
however, in Missouri has been quite no.
ticeable, not to say remarkable. In re-
marking on this subject the st. Louis
Republican says: "The reduction in the
number Of saloons In Missouri in the last
few years is q phenomenon both encour-
aging and interesting. Four years ago,
In 1882, there we're 1901 saloons in the
State, paying in licenses an aggregate OF
$547, 900. The number was not large for q
population of 100000. Nevertheless, In
four years 1t has been reduced
nearly one-fourth. the number on July 4,
1886, being only $500. Nearly every fourth
saloon that existed In the state four years
ago has closed up. The $500 now in the
State yield in license fees about 81 $780,
600, nearly three times as much as the
larger number yielded In 1882. st. Louis
has fully shared in this saloon decrease,
and there are now in this city only 1913
saloons OF all kinds, less shan half the
number (3,300) IN Chicago, and LIP
fewer than there are in San Francisco
(9,T90). Eighteen counties in the State
nave no saloons, the County Courts, at
the demand of the community, refusing to
issue LICENSES"
The further comments OF the Republi-
can are more encouraging still. 1t says:
CIV hen 1t is reflected that these consid-
cradle reductions in the number OF drink
ing places in four years-400 In st. Louis
city and 800 in the State-have been
brought about in the face of a large
growth in the population, it will be adj
mitted that they exhibit a marked I'M
provement In the moral temper OF the
people. The high license law is one of
the agencies In bringing it about, but It is
not unfair to say that a general cultiva-
ton OF sobriety among the people has
had greater share In the work than even
that law; and It may be added that there
is probably less drinking of alcoholic bev-
erages ia Missouri in proportion TO the
population than in any other State in the
Union, unless 1t De Georgia and Mlssis-
sippi."
1t perhaps will not be denied that high
license and prohibition in the eighteen
counties in which no licenses are issued
are the result of the improvement in the
moral temper OF the people. May it not
be considered, therefore, that low license
is an evidence of insufficient moral de-
velOpment, If not of depravity.

Hints About Building.

II seems TO be conceded that large
proportion OF the destruction and damage
done to buildings by the earthquake in
Charleston was due to faulty cOnstruc-
tlon and the use of inferior materials--es-
pecially poor mortar. The principal fault
in construction was the failure to have
the buildings we'll bound together,
the walls to the cross tim
bers on every side and at every floor,
as we'll as at the roof. This was shown
In buildings where some walls fell, while
others that were anchored to the floors re-
manned standing.
1t would appear that the use of mud in
place Of mortar has been very general
in Charleston in the past, and
there is plenty evidence of
the faithlessness of contractors, as we'll
as the pennywise and poundfOOlish policy
OF persons who built on their
own account. A properly built
wall should stand like a mono
lith--in other words the mortar ought to
be of such character as to bind the
bricks or stones together so that 1t will
be very difficult to rend them apart.
The severity of the first earthquake
shocks in Savannah, and the fact that
very few walls were cracked, even in the
larger class of buildings, indicate that
the houses of this city are generally well
built. They certainly stood most salts
factorily the ordeal or test Of strength to
which they were subjected. 1t can but
be believed that If these buildings
had not been peculiarly strong the great
Tuesday nights shock would have brought
them to the ground and occasioned the
loss of many lives. This should be re-
! assuring to those of our people, who are
yet disposed to be nervous and apprehen-
sive OF shocks, which, we are constrain-
ed to believe, are not likely to occur in
the near future.
In the future, architects must take the
probability of earthquake visitatIons into
consideration in drawing up plans and
specifications tor buildings, especially of
large buildings. While this task will be a
somewhat novel one 1T will probably not be
very difficult one. The architects and
builders Of several countries of the world
have had to study seismology in connec-
tion with their professions and business.
There is abundant material to be had
much that is OF undoubted value, and
much, doubt less, that is whimsical and
misleading.
An important matter will be the
strengthening of houses already built.
Many OF these can be made proof against
any earthquake shock we are likely to
have at very moderate expense. We may
not have any more severe shocks for
century or more, but people will be less
nervous when reading about earthquakes
and be less likely to be alarmed in the
event more shocks should be expert
enced, If they feel that their
houses are reasonably secure. Overhead
plastering must become exceedingly un-
popular in the future, as it ought always
to have been, and ceiling overhead will
doubtless become very general.
The firstclass house should be almost
as staneh and well bound together and
braced as ship, as it cannot well afford
to risk one earthquake or even one cy-
clone per century. There appear to be
hundreds Of such houses In this city.

The manner In which a confectioner's
establishment failed In maintaining a
successful business is one Of the legends
Of the Back Bay, says a Boston paper.
One fall when the school girls returned
10 the city they found that a yell.known
candy dealer had opened shop within
convenient distance OF all centres of art
and learning. Great was the joy. and
great the rush of business for season.
But there soon arose feeling OF discon-
tent. The chocolates were unsatlsfac-
tory. After a solemn consultation by
Ihe school girls deputation visited the
store and held an indignant conversation
with the proprietor, in which it was
stated that the chocolates were high
priced and poorly made and an improve
ment was demanded. UnlucEily for the
candy shop the advice was disregarded.
1t was impossible to deceive school girls
upon the quality OF chocolates and in a
short time all patronage ceased.

The alleged aversion of Kentucky Con-
gressmen to cold water Is a standing Joke
at Washington. The story is current just
now X that city that on recent Sunday
Congressman McCreery was crossing the
Kentucky river At Boonesboro, on his way
TO Lexington, and when the ferry boat
reached the shore il swung away just as
he was driving off, and Congressman,
horse and buggy went down into the
stream. The men on the ferry rushed TO
therescue and soon took the entire rig in
out OF the wet, and the trembling and
excited ferryman grabbed his dripping
passenger. "Are you hurt, Governor;
are you hurtf' he asked over and over
again. "oh, no." said the Governor
with soothing smile, "not particle. /
don't think drop OF water got into my
mouth" Thank God," exclaimed the
ferrymGn fervently, as he reached him
over a black bottle. II will not spoil the
joke to state that Gov. McCreery IS a
practical temperance man. and does not
tamDer with black bottles at any time.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA man who says that
his name is Alfred Hahn and that he is an in :
surance agent, making $40 week, as to- Y
commanded to pay S. week for the support
of woman who says that she IS his wife, but
whom. he swears, he has never before seen
To insure prompt payment he was ordered to
give $500 bonds before he could go free.
Cecilia Kohl. the woman in the case. de-
clared that the defendant had married her
eighteen years ago in Bavaria, and produced
a fourteen ear-old boy as one Of the fruits
and evidences OF the union. Two years ago
she claims that the defendant left her and
that since that time she has pursued
his trail, finally catching up with him one
dav this week on Canal street. When she
confronted him in court she said that
her husband had scar on his knee, which
have just such a scar. AS to other marks Of
Identification which she gave, the man Ham
was found 10 CORRESPOND exactly. His hair,
however. was dark. while that OF the missing
husband was light. Hahn's counsel pointed
TO the days growth Of beard on his chin and
showed that also was dark. Mrs. Kohl said
that her husband was very skillIul in dyeing
hair and that this accounted for the dark hair
and even for the beard. This afternoon a
half dozen men and women came into court
and identified Hahn, some positively and 9TH
ers partially. as the man whom they had
known as Mr.. Kohl. All OF them. when pot
into room with Hahn and number of other
men, p 'cked him out as The man they meant.
One Of those witnesses had grown up with
him from childhood In bhvaTld.
at he's not the man then Pm not MYSELF
was the remark OF one witness.
Hahn produced witnesses, who accounted
for most Of his time for the last few years. but
were unable TO FIX IL quite 40 far back Ss the
date on which the woman ewears that he de-
serted her. His story was almost as convinc-
ing MS that of the woman, but the court finally
decided that ND to the closing hour the alleged
wife had made out a little the stronger case
and that until he can bring up more witnesses
to II his identity Hahn would have to be con-
sidered az Mr.. Kohl IN law, whatever he
might be in fact. The unfortunate chap went
to Jail in default Of the required bail.

Here is how the defective assessment
system works in Philadelphia and what
is thought oft. The Times, OF that city,
says: ''The official idea of assessing
real estate was lately brought out In
bold relief in the determination of rail-
road damages to the paper mill on the
east bank of the Schuylkill at Vine street
wharf. This property, which cost $780, 900,
and is now valued by its owner at $780,
900, is assessed at $4,000. 1t is natural
that property owner should value his
property too highly when asked to fix rail-
road damages on it, but, even allowing
for this, the discrepancy between reason
able market value and assessed value is
so enormous as to be suggestive. If prop
erty were assessed nearer its actual value
the tax rate could be lower instead Of
needing to be higher, or we could get bet
ter water, streets and sewers under the
present rate"

1.-THE exports Of cotton goods for the past
