GOOD LIVE BIRD SHOOTING.
Two Interesting Sweepstakes Among the
Local Champions.

Two Interesting Sweepstakes Among the
Local Champions.
There were two interesting shooting contests
at live birds yesterday at Brunot's Island, viz:
Two sweepstakes at SIS and $40 per man re-
spectively. In each contest the same four con-
Jestants took part and the shooting was good.
The chief event was that of S25 each. 1t was
originally intended that this sweepstake should
be at % birds each but when that number had
been shot at it was mutually agreed for each
man to shoot at five additional birds. The win
ner turned up in Mr. E. E. Shaner, who killed
26 of the 80. The use of both barrels was al
lowed and Mr.. Shaner won by patient and
steady shooting. The winner took 60 and the
second man 40 per cent of the Sl00 Following

TWO HISTORICAL PICTURES.
A Reminder of How John MOrrissey Was
Led 20 Fortune.


A local sporting man has in his possession
two oil paintings that have quite an interesting
history indirectly connected with them. One
is Summer Time," and shows a man driving
the famous team Happy Jack and Big Mary
along road Of the most picturesque kind The
other is "Winter Time," and shows Big Mary
and Hotspur hitched to a sleigh. All three
horses are well known to patrons of trotting
who can remember few years back.
The pictures were painted for Mat Miller, at
one time the king of policy men in Philadel-
phia, and cost considerable money. Mr.. Miller
some years ago presented the PIttsburger
with the pictures. John Morrissey, the
old time pugilist saw the pictures and
subsequently bought the mare Big Mary. pay
ing 81. 900 for her. He epresented her to the late
Mr.. Vanderbilt, and the gift so tickled the
millionaire that he at once took remarkable
interest in Morrisey. The latter was given some
inside pointers" about commercial deals, and
soon became wealthy. Finally be was elected
to Congress, and his stanch friend was Mr.Van-
derbilt. However, a cross in politics caused Mr.
Vanderbilt to sever his friendship with Norris
ey, and the latter was soon ON the down grade
again. Big Mary was disposed of to Budd
Doble, ana the mares name will never be re-
membered without recalling the fortunes Of
John Morrisey.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 6-George La
Blanche is in a peck of trouble over sundry
suits filed against him. One is for a barrel of
whisky from Keifer, delivered at the La
Blanche saloon while George was absent, and
which he claims he never ordered. Pierre
Jacobs, bartender, has sued him for back sal
ary. and a prominent attorney is drawing up
papers in a third suit for heavy damages for
libel. Dempseys friends contemplate the Stu

TROUBLESOME MATTERS.
IT WILL DELAY CONGRESS-.
How the Grip Is Certain TO Knock Out
Working QuOrums.
.-.n.c


IFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, January 6.-The infu-
enza is playing havoc in the departments,
and many prominent officials haze dropped
out of their chairs since Saturday. Secre-
tsry Window was not able to appear at
the Treasury Department to-day. Public
Printer Palmer and Mrs Palmer are both
suffering intensely. Private Secretary Hal
ford was seized while in his Office chair at
the White House, to-day, but up to the
present time his is q sneezing rather than an
aching attack.
Every physician in the city complains of
being tagged out with attendance on gripped
patients. The small attendance at Congress
to-day was due to the operations Of the epi-
demic, and it is increasing its victims so
rapidly that unless some change occurs
which will clear the poison from the atmo-
sphere, everyone looks forward to virtual
cessation of business In Congress. So long
as there is less than a quorum, only such
business can be transacted as Will not pro-
woke any member of the minority to make
the point of mo quorum" and that means
that no rules can be adopted, and that moth
ing can be done which will invite a party
division.
1t is safe to predict that the operations of
the grip will result in delaying work in a
manner that will materially prolong the
session of Congress.

ENTHUSIASTS DISAPPOINTED.
Some Opinions About the National Leagues
CnHe ARninsI Ward.

Some Opinions About the National Leagues
Case Against Ward.
There was considerable disappointment
among local baseball enthusiasts yesterday
when it was known that the Ward injunction
case was not heard. League and Brotherhood
partisans were on the tip-toe of expectation as
to the result. Brotherhood supporters. how
ever. are confident that the case will end in
great defeat for the League.
There is. however, another feature Of it that
has not been dealt with. Assuming that the
injunction is granted. and that other injunc-
tions are also granted, it probably will not be
well for the League and the national game if
players are forced to play in an organization
that they have already tried to wreck. If
they are forced by law to play with the League,
not at all, it cannot be expected that they
will have their hearts in their work, and with
out that their work will not be of very good
quality. Forced grass is i'll to grow'' is an
old and true adage, and it is problematical
whether the League would be any better off
should the law give it the power that it de-
mands.

SUNDAY DRINKS FOR WASHINGTON.
No Law to Prevent Georgetown Saloons
Keeping Open Every Day.'
rrpnnr A srLEE nnRREspcnrnrnrn


Keeping Open Every Day.'
TFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, January GA curious
decision of the Supreme Court of the District,
to-day, will probably have the effect to wake
up sleepy old Georgetown for at least one
day OF the week, and make it the liveliest
spot in the District. For 80 years law sup
posed to exist against the sale of liquor on
Sunday has been enforced. Sometime ago
liquor seller was arrested who secured par.
ticularly shrewd counsel, and in the course
of his investigation of the law he discovered,
so he thought, that no law existed against
the Sunday sale of liquor. This view of the
matter was so successfully presented to the
court that the case was decided in favor of
the defendant.
As the energy of the temperance people
and the police have closed every saloon in
Washington on Sunday, and thirsty NOR
tails can secure drinks only by taking a
dinner or luncheon at hotels or eating
houses, the decision in the Georgetown case
will cause an exodus to this ancient city on
Sunday, as, doubtless, every saloon in the
place will be thrown open until new law
is passed for their regulation.

DIFFERENT IDEAS OF REED.

Speaker Not Bitter Partisan.

WASHINGTON, January 6.-Congress-
man Pendleton, of West Virginia, entertains
a different opinion of Mr.. Reed, in his ca
pacity of Speaker of the House, than that
held by many of his colleagues. He said
to-day: 81 do not believe that Mr.. Reed
will do any of the high-handed partisan
acts which he is accused of contemplating
against the minority. On the contrary, 1
expect that he will be entirely impartial in
his rulings from the chair. 1t has been the
history OF his predecessors in the Speaker
ship, that when they have been extreme in
their psrtisanship on the floor, on their ele-
vation to the Chair they have been strictly
impartial, and 1 don't believe that Mr..
Reed will be an exception"
Mr.. Pendleton was asked whether he had
heard anything of the Republican plan to
settle the three West Virginia contested
election cases before any rules are adopted
by the House. BE SAID: 81 have heard
no more than newspaper comment about ii.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, January 6.-Dave O'Leary, who
is matched to fight Paddy Mcbride is now
within four pounds of the weight In which he
will enter the ring on February 10. Eddie
Sweeney, his trainer, is working hard faithfully
to have O'Leary in prime condition. Two
offers have been received for the tight, one of
S65Ofrom the Audono Club OF New Orleans, and
one of $500 from the Buffalo Athletic Clnb.
O'Leary's hackers prefer the Buffalo club and
are willing to accept the offer.
The matter is now left entirely with the men
back of Mcbride who may want to confine
themselves strictly to the articles which say
that the fight shall take place within so miles of
New York City. "9ne thing is certain" said
O'Leary's trainer to a DISPATCH man to-day:
''lf our man wins he will be pitted against any
122 pound man in the world, Larkins preferred

A PERMANENT CIRou1ATIoN.

At the end of the next 20 years, or at the date
of the payment of the 4 per cent bonds in 1907,
a safety fund would have accumulated of at
least S25. .O00 900. SO that from that time onward
a sufficient amount of national bank circula-
ton would remain permanently in existence
well secured by gold or silver bullion. and sufh-
ciently profitable to make the circulation large
enough in connection with the present amount
of United States notes to respond to the de-
mand of the business of the country. It would
also give the banks in the West as well as the
East, who have confidence in the future value
of silver, an opportunity to invest in that
metal, and he believes that such investments
would be made for the next three years equal
at least to 1000 900 annually, and thus relieve
the Treasury from excessive purchases.
