How quickly even an old settled region
may be restocked with game, asserts the
San Francisco Chronicle is shown by the
experience with the Cape Cod region in
Massachusetts,. The long neck Of sandy
tand has 80, 900 acres of woodland, and
six years ago all hunting Of deer in these
woods was prohibited. Although the
game was well nigh exterminated when
the protective law was passed, the woods
are now full Of deer. Such n method, il
followed in the West, would result in an
abundance of game where now the pot.
hunter has slaughtered about every ami.
ual Of any value for food or pelt.

In the center of the gloomy African
forest, Stanley came across the famous
dwarf tribes, which have excited the
curiosity Of civilization ever since they
we-e first described by Paul Du Chaillu.
Like many Others Of Du Chaillu's discov-
cries. these dwarfs were long believed TO
BE- a fiction Of the French travellers inn
agination but later African explorers
have confirmed the story which hc told.
Du Chaillu reported the tiny sayagcs 10
be exceedingly shy, but not actively hos
tile. They simply deserted their earth
huts and fed 20 the wooo5 on the APP
proach Of strangers. Stanlcy's expert
eucc with them was much less agreeable.
lie reports them TO have been the mos:
annoying foes encountered on his whole
march. II was their custom 10 hide be-
hind trees and shoot a, the white men
with poisoned arrows; and no advances
could win their friendship. The dwarfs Of
Du Chaillu and the earlier explorers lived
much nearer 20 the coast, and the differ
ence in disposition between the various
savage tribes Of Africa is quite AS marked
a. in the civilized peoples Of Europe.

The following tribute TO American
Salor, as displayed during the dreadful
hurricane at Samoa, is from the London
Telegraph: Consider the scene and tho
matchlcss heroism and generosity Of this
Yankee crew. Almost sure Of instant
death themselves, they could see the
Queens ship fighting the hurricane and
appreciate the gallantry Of the effort with
the generous pleasure Of true mariners.
We do not know in all the naval records
any sound which makes finer music
upon the ear than the cheer Of the Trcn.
tons men. II was distressed manhood
saluting triumphant manhood, the doomed
saluting the saved. 1t was pluckicr ard
more human than any cry raised upon tho
deck Of a victorious line-of.batt!e ship,
1t can never be forgotten by Englismeu
speaking Of Americans. That dauntlesi
cheer TO the Calliope was the expression
Of an immortal courage" -

They Easily Downed a Scrub N. j. A. G..
Team at Bergen Point.
Weakened by the absence of three infield-
ers and one outfielder the team of the New
Jersey Athletic Club was easily defeated
on the Avenue A grounds at Bergen Point
yesterday afternoon blythe Metropolitans'
The defeat was not due, however, to any
poor WORK by the substitutes in the out
field and at short, for. with the exception
of Hammel's two misplays, the quartette
put up a good game.
Although the arm of old Jack Lynch,
who pitched for Roseman's Indians, was
lame, and his delivery was consequently
slow, the local team was unable to eff
fectively hit the ball. On the other hand
the visiting back numbers gathered from
Beebe's twirling ten clean hits, half of
which would have been captured had the
regular outfeld been in their proper
positions. ...o,e "a,
The Nets virtually won the game in
their third inning, when two bases OIL
balls, five hits, a sacrifice, several steals
and a tumble let five men get around the

The Pennant Races.

The only change wrought by the results
of Yesterdays championship games in the
rank of the clubs of the four big baseball
aggregations was the dissolution of the
tie between Worcester and Hartford for
second place in the Atlantic Association
race, the Connecticut club dropping fif-
teen points behind into third place. In
the National League contest Indianapolis
again helped New York nearer to first
place, and New York returned the
compliment by helping Indianapolis
thirteen points nearer to fifth place.
Boston's lead was decreased thirteen
points and Cleveland gained five points
upon Philadelphia. The three leading
clubs in the American Association com
petition held their own while Cincinnati
gained a dozen points upon the Athletics.
New Haven narrowed by sixteen points
the gap between her and Lowell in the
Atlantic Association record. In the Inter-
national League ali of the leading clubs
save Rochester held their own, Toledo
moving fifteen points nearer to Rochester.

Am Example OF tl,e laws pelay.

A curious case, which has been before
the Hoboken District Court for some time.
has just been decided by Judge Abel 1,
Smith. Samuel Trott, q ships steward,
who spends a good deal of time on the
high seas, rented apartments from a man
named Doring, at No. 81 Willow N
Hoboken. Last March he paid a months
rent in advance, locked the doors of his
rooms, and went on a trip to the West
Indies.
During his absence Doring gave up the
house, which was then leased to Pauline
Gerlock, who took possession in April.
She got an order from the Court permit
ting her to remove Trott's goods, and
she did SO, putting them on the sidewalk.
Messrs. Liet== and Schilling, the owners
of a storage warehouse ut No. 96 First
street, then took possession of the goods
and held them to see if the owner would
claim them.
Shortly afterward Trott returned from
his ocean trip and demanded his articles
from Messrs. Lieth and Schiiling. These
gentlemen refused to give him, the goods
till he proved ownership and paid storage
fees. He declined to do this and COM
menced action against Pauline Gerlach
and Messrs. Lieth and Schilling for the
recovery of his goods, claiming that they
had been illegally taken.
Judge Smith rendered a decision in
favor Of the defendants. According to.

Another goodly company OF fashionable
folk from the rendezvouses of society in
this vicinity was attracted to the grounds
of the Bergen Point Lawn Tennis Club
at Bergen Point yesterday afternoon, and
the courts and their outskirts were again
scenes of blithesome animation and bril-
liant, variegated color.
The sport was the third days play in
the clubs prize tournament and 1t was
rife with interest, being marked by many
keenly contested points that aroused the
spectators to an enthusiastic pitch OF ex-
element.
Among the encounters that took place
were the final rounds at ladies' singles,
the unfinished part of the second rounds
and the final n und at gentlemen's dou-
bles, and the unfinished part of the sec
ond rounds at ladies' singles in the post
poned prize handicap club tournament.
The results at these encounters are sum
married. as follows
