A good deal of sarcasm has been expen-
ded from time to time on the shooting
parties of the President of the Republic,
particularly when NJ. Jules Gr6vy was in
power. The political p~ersonages who shot
over Marley and the adjacent preserves
were often very dangerous to the game
keepers and stray passers.by in the woods.
There we're sinister rumours aloat as to
how one Minister lodged his charge i'll the
cheek of a UeneWr when he had aimed at a
cock pheasant, and how another had ex-
pended his ammunition on retrievers and
other small cattle of that kind. There
was, of course, a good deal of exaggeration
in all these legends, for many of the Re-
publican Senators and Deputies who were
invited to the Presidential preserves at
Marty and RambOuillet were good shots,
having been brought up in the country.

down the placardS that were near

they completed the task, and warned

recalcitrant ratepayer had, therefore,

There was a great cOmmotiOn to-
day in the Rue Naint-FIacre, a street
in the second Ward of Paris. A
crowd Of people assembled to gaze on
a galaxy OF green placards which had
been stuck up all over a house in the
locality. Standing out in big type
in the midst OF the green ground and
among the masses of small print were
the words "Refusal to Pay Rates"
Underneath this it was set forth that
the recaIcitrant citizen was one
"Francois Poisson, combatant of
February, 1913, an px-captain of the
National Guard" but at present EN-
gagged in the peaceful pursuits of com
merce. He refused peremptorily to
pay his taxes, because the Municipal
Council of Paris has been accused of
scandalous and illegal expenditure,
and lie did not see why his money
should be thrown away. NJ. Poisson
called upon his neighbours to initiate
his example, but instead of doing
so they simply went to read his p"o-
clamarion, and returned 10 their shops
and houses shaking their heads and
making sundry mysterious mods and
signs to each other which plainly in-
dictated to the most superficial observ-
err that they considered NJ. Poisson to
be a very we'll meaning man indeed,
but not quite conspos mentis. NJ.
Poisson spent much of his time strut
ting up and down before his house
as If he was as proud of his green pla-
card as a painter would be of a we'll
hung picture in the Salon. His day
dreams were, however, interrupted by
the arrival Of three or four policemen,

Sues-fOr 6Gttues they were generally-fOr
some time before his resignation, but his
successor, M. OarnOt, has already been

the sport cost the nation more than
100000 a year, for the preserves not only
at Marty and RambOnillet, but also at
Versailles, Saint German, and Uampiegne
had to be kept up with style and grandeur.
There were, for instance, a Chief Hunts
man, numerous Officers de Venerie ct de
Chase, P~iQaeWrS, Guards, an army of
heaters, dozens of packs of hounds, and
about seventy horses. Two hundred and
seventy attendants waited ON an Imperial
shooting party of nine. Twenty men at.

eight fOuling, pieces for his use. All this

stead Ola long suite of reneWrs glistening
in green, gold, and crimson, the Presi-
dent and his guests are accompanied by
an In 'pectOr of Forests, a wood ranger,
and a few guards and beaterS. The Forest
of Mlrly is chosen nowadays because it is
IL arer than RlmbOuillet, and can be reach
ed easily by driving from Paris, whereas
RambouiIlet would neceSSitate a long rail
way journey. Marty has always been full
of game, with the exception, perhaps, of
harpS and cartridges, which are to be found
at J0nCtion and near BailIy. Deer, phea-
SAINTS, aud rabbits abound, however,
everywhere in the forest, and down to
about twelve years ago there were even
wild hoarS to be found there. Now, how
ever, NJ. Ctrnot and his guests need have
no fear OF the reloubtabIe S~aNgljer, and
their sport consists in shooting harmless
hareS, rabbits, pheasantS, or cartridges,
according to the season. The results of
the Shooting-generally rather meagre-
are divided among the Paris hospitals
and the troops III garrison.

DESTR UCTION OF THE GRAND
THEATRE AT ISLINGTON
LONDON.

49, $3.50 W. w ICdl II JIIdl lLl0
Grand Theatre, ISlington, where Mr..
GeotfreY TIIorne's clever pantolnime
"Dlck " hittington" was running so
successfully, was burnt down in the
early hours OF this morning. Fortu-
nateIy there is no loss of life to
chronicle, as the outbreak occurred
some time after the audience had left
the building. Nevertheless the Gala
mIty is peculiarly painful, coming as
1t does at the outset OF the pantomine
season, and involving the destruction
not only of q fine and comparatively
new theatre, but of scenery and dres-
SEES OF great value. Moreover, the
disaster must necessarily mean loss of
employment TO u very large number
OF deserving people, many of whom
are at this time of the year depen-
dent upon pantomime for the means
OF subsistence. The site Of the Grand
Theatre is the same as that occupied
by the Philharmonic, which was
partially burnt down on the morning
OF Sept. 6, 1892. On that. occasion
the fumes originated on the prompt
side of the stage, whence lhey spread
to the main body OF the theatre, which
had been vacated by a large audience
only "A short time before. Fortunate
~ the hremen were more successful!
than on the present occasion, master
ing the fire in about a couple of
hours. The stage and the pit-seats,
however, were destroyed, as well as
the inner roof, though viewed from
the exterior no indicnliou of the disas-
ter was apparent. The company
playing at the theatre lost nearly all
their costumes, while all the instru-
ments of the band were sacrificed.
In the present instance the general
destruction has been far greater-in
fact the theatre is a complete ruin.
The pantomime of "Dick Whiting
ton" was witnessed last night by a
large audience, The performance
concluded at 11.3O, and by midnight
all the actors and employees had left
the theatre. At the same time Mr..
Wilmot, the lessee, Mrs. WIImot,

JAMESTOWN, OAK, Sept. 26.-The
prairie fire which originated yesterday in
the Coteaux, thirty miles west of James
town, burned and spread during the
day and night, and was probably most
destructive that ever visited Central
North Dakota. The flames were famed
by bowling gale, and the fire spread
with terrible celebrity. Instances of the
flames Overtaking flying horses are
cited, and the farmers in this and ad-
Joining counties have sustained heavy
losses. Although reports are slow in
coming in, the list of losers is already
long and formidable. In StutSman and
La Moure counties those known tonight
are as follows: S. g. Barker, manager
of Mormon farm, thirty miles south,
whole section of No. l hard wheat; the
Mormon farm lost 800 acres of wheat;
Ed Woods, La Moure county.
eighty acres of wheat in shock, and
seventy-five tons of hay; Miles Nickle-
son, fifty acres wheat and forty
tons of hay. The losses reported
in this county are: George Carlson,
house burned, 100 acres of wheat in
shock, team of horses and all of his
farm machinery; John and Henry Shar-
lew, 100 tons of hay. 100 bushels of oats
and fifty acres of wheat; Boyd Bros,
dwelling house, large farm buildings
and ten stacks of grain; Joe Cumber,
house and all his grain; amount un-
known. The buildings on the farms of
j. w. Bertrand and Alexander Chisholm
were burned, as was their hay and
grain. E. B. Dewey lost $500
worth of grain. Several farmers were
severely burned while fighting fire and
attempting to save property, but no
fatalities have yet been reported. This
city was hemmed in by fire on the north,
west and south. The farmers have
been warned to surround their build
ings and grain stacks with wide fire
breaks, and the losses in many instances
are mainly due to their neglect of these
warnings. Rainey Bros, who have an
extensive horse ranch in the heart of
the fire in La Moure county, had pro-
teeted their range TO the extent of a
township by fire-breaks sixty feet in
width. By hard fighting they escaped
without any loss.

MITCHELL, Oak, Sept. 26.-To-day
was a repetition of yesterdays fair
weather, marred somewhat by heavy
wind, rendering the day dusty and dis

the number brought in from far and
near by the twenty incoming trains.
The horse races were uninteresting.

ROCHESTER,, Minn., Sept. 26.-The
Democrats held rousing rally in this
city tonight. A grand tOrchlight pro-
cession was organized at the head OF
Broadway at 7:3O o'clock and marched
to Clark's opera house, accompanied by
the city band. The procession carried
banners with appropriate notices and
was enthusiastically cheered on its
march. The crowd that assembled in
the city was the largest that ever gath
cred at any Democratic meeting ever
held in the city. and tie opera house,
which seats 1.500, would not hold one
half of the immense crowd desiring adj
mission. The immediate cause of the
rally was the presence Of Hon. Eugene
NJ. Wilson in the city. He addressed
the meeting, speaking mainly on the
tariff, and his address was enthuSiaS-
tically received. Mr.. Wilson was ac-
cOmpanied by Chris Gallagher. DR.. w.
w. Mayo made. a snort Introductory
speech, introducing Mr.. Wilson, who
made a clear and comprehensive adj
dress on tie tarlU, tidt SUBJECT
being the main topic handled. He
reviewed the effect of the tariff
and went on to show how the nine man
featuring states are sucking the marrow
out of the bones Of the farmers and la
boring people. lie showed the various
subterfuges the Republican party hal
resorted to in years past to keep on the
exorbitant tariff; how they had con-
tinually promised reform and how they
had as often broken their promises.
He demonstrated effectively as was
shown by the continued cheering and
interruptions, hOw the issue now lay
with the Democratic party, and how the
much-needed reduction could be
brought about. lie held his audience as
by magnet, and loud applause greeted
his finishing remarks. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Gallagher. who spoke for
a few moments upon the main issues OF
the day. Nh Teft. of Plainview, then
made a few remarks, after which the
meeting broke up. The attendance
from the country this evening shows
how much interest farmers are taking IN
the matter, a large number being pres

BISMARCK. Oak, Sept. 26.-The leg
islative fight between Gen. Hughes and
Judge Little reached its first test vote
to-day, in the primaries. Much to the
surprise of the friends of Little, who, a
few weeks ago, were confident of vic
tory, Hughes carried every ward in the
city, and several precincts in the county,
thus giving him the county. This vir-
tually settles the question of who will
receive the nomination for the council
from the Republicans of this district.
The legislative convention will be held
in Mandan. Oct. IS. The fact that Little
was so badly defeated, and that during
the last few days he has seemed indif-
ferent. has led eX-Register John Rea
and his friends to believe that Little
was in the field simply to keep him
(Rea) out of the race. At least, such
belief has been expressed by Rea this

New YORK, Sept. 26.-The Demo
dratic national committee is receiving
large contributions from every quarter
in response to its circular sent out
last Saturday for financial aid. The
contributions are coming apparently al
most as soon as the circulars are re-
ceived in the respective locations. To-
day the contributions came from as far
west as Ohio, and they are still hearing
from New York, New Jersey, COnnecti-
cut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
In 1884 similar circulars were sent
out by the Democratic national COM
mittee, and it met with what
was rendered very hearty response.
Their circular this year, however, has
times greater than that of 1884, and to
the managers of the Democratic COM
mittee it was especially gratifying, as it
shows great public interest in the re-
election of the Democratic ticket.
"Fry in the fat Foster" is not
meeting with that hearty response
from his begging circular which
he anticipated. He expected to
get ample contributions to the
Republican campaign fund from the
manufacturers in the country. He
believed that no manufactured would
dare to refuse his appeal. From all
accounts he is getting many very
serious rebuffs. one of which came to
the surface to-day. Mr.. Foster sent
one of his letters to Mr.. Henry r.
Hlnckley, manufacturer of cutlery at
Northampton, Mass. Mr.. Hinckley
replied as follows in response to letter
addressed to him by Mr.. Whitney, sec
retary of the National Association Of
Democratic Clubs.
Office Of the Northampton Cutlery COM
pany, Northampton, Mass, Sept. Is. 1883
Dear Mr.. Whitney: did write letter to
Mr.. Dazzel in answer to his circular, but
did not keep a copy. 1 wrote him that I
agreed with him that the tariff was the issue
of this campaign, but that thought the Re-
publican party was on the wrong side, and
that would not give a cent to save it from
perdition. Every manufacturer is not o

Special to the Globe.
BRAINERD, Sept. 26.-A queer story
of the war of the Rebellion and the
sundering it made of family ties, is
brought to light here to-day in the dis
covery and Identification of long-miss-
ing heir to an estate in Virginia, re-
Gently become very valuable in coal
mines. The estate was that of Pleas
ant Williams over on the Virginia side
Of the Cumberland mountains, some
twenty miles out from Cumberland
Gap. When the war broke out, Will
lam, who was the elder son, was
in school in Kentucky, and espoused
the Union cause, enlisted in a
Kentucky regiment, and served through
the war. An accident of his soldier life
was capturing brother in the battle Of
Perryyille who was in the Confederate
army. The war ruined his family's
property, and, hearing of the death OF
his father, to whom he was greatly at
tached, this Union son drlfted away to
the Northwest, and was heard of no
more, except well-defined report of
his death. The ruined family left Wr
ginia and drifted to Missouri, and
the remaining children prospered and
some got rich. In recent times
coal mines of great value were found
underlying the old plantation, and a
syndicate purchased the same for
large sum, but the title could not be
perfected without proof of the son Will
iam's supposed death. A search fol-
lowed, which led from clue to clue to
this discovery of William Williams here.
where he is engaged in market garden
ing as common laborer. E. G. Wal
ters, agent for the syndicate, who found
him, was accompanied by Williams
brother John, who, when the two
last met, was a siX-year-old
lad, before the war broke out.
The missing heir was paid over nice
sum of money, and is to receive, on
completion of the papers, sutficiency
to make him well off the rest of his life.
William was soldier of the Twentieth
Kentucky, and has homestead near
this city, which he will build good build
ings upon. and remain, at least, until
his title is perfected. His mother is
still living, and he will pay her visit
