SHELTER IN A GUN.
Queer Manner In Which Rabbits Have Es
capped from Pursuing Hounds.

Queer Manner In Which Rabbits Have Es-
capped from Pursuing Hounds.
Between two huge rocks in the midst
of piece of woodland northeast of HI
hernia station, on the Wilmington &
Northern railroad, there lies a gun,
which, strange as it may seem, has in
its interior sheltered many rabbit
which has been pursued by the hounds
of the hunter. The gun is an old cast
iron cannon, and has been lying in the
woods for many years, says. the Will
mington (Del.) News. 1t is about ten
feet in length and has large bore, into
which rabbit may easily pass. The
history of the gun, as told by resident
Of the locality, is an interesting one.
According to his story, it was un-
earthed at Valley Forge and taken to
the old Brooks iron works at Hibernia,
long ago deserted. From this place it
was taken up into the woods by an en-
thusiastic party Of democrats with the
intention of celebrating an expected
victory. Defeat came instead and the
republicans of the locality, hearing OF
the scheme, went to the woods and
fired the gun until they ran out Of
powder. They were not sparing of am
munition, and enormous charges were
used and fred by means Of a fuse.
Windows in the immediate vicinity,
and, in fact, a considerable distance
away, were shattered by the explosions
and the election was considered to have
been fttingly celebrated. The gun
was afterward spiked" by the demo
Gratis, but the republicans bored It out
and celebrated their victories. After
some years the practice was abandoned,
as was also the old gun, and 1t lies In
thewoods, serving only as retreat for
frightened rabbits.

AN INDIAN ,E,oHrER..-
ne wide-Rsaehing Inausaes sf The Dfns
Novel of America.

sstO0~kt0R0m1mR Hm00O000
Novel Of America. W
The Indian has always had deadly
enemy in the small boy, and doubtless
always will have, says the New York
Morning Advertiser. The reading of
one dime novel Is sufficient to implant
In the breast Of the average youngster
the conviction that the Indian has no
business to live, and that 1t is his duty
to exterminate him at the earliest pos
sible moment The latest develop
mcnts go to show that the German
translation of the American dime novel
will even stir the blood Of a German
boy away off in Hamburg. Ernest
brandt, eleven years old, living in that
city, read an Indian tale or two, and,
NOT knowing that other boys had been
moved in the same way, he made up
his mind at once that the Indian was
1ndeed q "varmint" that must be re-
moved from the face OF the earth. He
saw his duty, and at the first opportuni-
ty set out for America, determined to
begin the slaughter the moment he ar
rived. His disappointment was great
at finding no trail in Battery park, and
his disgust must have been considerable
when he found only a wooden Indian
here and there on Broadway. After
''keeping his eyes peeled as they do in
the dime novels, and finding no Indians
worthy of his vengeance, he went out to
White Plains, near Yonkers, doubtless
associating White Plains with the plains
over which the Indians roamed, and
took service on q farm to await develop
ments. It was here he learned that the
Indians were farther west, and, feeling
that he must soon make some Of them
''hite the dust" he stole the farmers
rifle, gold watch, sleeve buttons and
other necessaries, and came to New
York to ''get his bearings" previous to
starting on the western trail. A small
boy with large rifle attracted the at
tention of a Bowery policeman, and he
was arrested. His great scheme Of
slaughter is frustrated, and for the time
at least the Indian is safe. The Incl
dent shows the wide-reaching influence
OF the American dime novel, and the
dangers which constantly beset the
path of tho redman.

A TEN-YEAR-OLD MOTHER.

Remarkable Parentass OF a Man Born
In Poorhouse.
Hodges Drayton, who was the other
day in Fall River, Mass, held in one
Thousand dollars bonds for trial at
the next term of the supreme GRIM
1nal court charged with assault,
has had remarkably checkered ca
reer, says the Pittsburgh Tel
egraph. He was born in the aims
house in Taunton February 1, 1858. His
mother at that time was only ten years
and eight months old, while his father
was lad of fifteen years. The records
OF the overseer of the poor of Taunton
furnish indisputable evidence of these
facts. His mother, Elizabeth Drayton,
was herself born in the same institution
on May "a, 1s47, and always lived there
previous and subsequent to the birth Of
the boy. The case was looked upon as
extraordinary in this climate and was
thoroughly investigated by DIR. Curtis,
state registrar of statistics.
Drayton, like his people before him,
was brought up in the almshouse and
remained ward of that institution un-
I'll fourteen years of age For some
minor otfense he was sent to the reform
school and two years later was sent to
the house of correction in New Bed
1ord for the larcany of gun. After
leaving there he led nomadic life in
the western country and finally entered
.the army. He deserted, was captured,
court-martialed and sentenced for a
Term In the government penitentiary in
Kansas. After his release he wandered
from state to state, oftentimes chang
Ing his location hurriedly He returned
70 Taunton and within five hours was
arrested for stealing a horse and buggy.
he was sentenced to the house of cor
rection again in November, 1890, and
oerved short term. He then came to
Fall River, was married and lived an
exemplary life. Although born of q
uhild he Is six feet tall, straight as an
Prrow and in every way is a remarkable
pppearing man.

THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

\ Couple Of Interesting Decisions By I'm.
portant Tribunals.
Two decisions have recently been rem
dered by important tribunals which re-
bike the tendency to interfere with the
right OF the citizen to be let alone. The
supreme court of Mississippi has de-
cided, in the case of black man whose
cabin was entered by party Of men
who came to "arrest" him without war
rant of law, for an alleged offense, and
who shot and killed two Of these in
vaders OF his house, that man has q
right to defend himself under such cir
cumstances.
The court, says the Youths Com
panion, in setting this man free, de-
clared its belief that the home should
have every possible safeguard thrown
around it.
The other decision mentioned is in a
case of very unusual character. A
certain society proposed to erect statue
of a deceased and very philanthropic
Lady. The members of this lady's i'm
mediate family objected, on the ground
that notoriety in any form was wholly
distasteful to her, and that, inasmuch
as she was q private citizen, the erec-
tion Of a statue of her was an unauthor-
lied invasion of privacy.
The supreme court of New York took
this view of the case. and declared that
the wish Of her family, representing
her own known desire, should be OBJ
served, and that no public representa-
tion OF her should be permitted.
1t is scarcely possible to take up a
newspaper without finding in it inva-
sions of the sacred right to privacy,
offenses which these decisions could not
reach.
Not only the private affairs Of per-
sons holding public relations are pried
into and falsely published forth, but
those of persons who have no public
functions whatever.
This tendency is most deplorable
cne, and unless it is checked it will
bring about deterioration of public
sentiment, and cause deserving persons
TO shun public relations Of every sort.

-Four Combats That Took Place Under
Peculiar circumstances. %

.H0uf 'ComDets That Took Place Undol
Peculiar Circumstances.
q desperate duel was fought one day
IN August, 1886, by two girls about
eighteen years Of age-Senoritas Es-
pinoza and Morena-employed at the
tobacco factory In Seville, that work
shop in front Of which the first act OF
the opera Of Carmen" is supposed to
eventuate. says the Chicago Herald.
Their seconds were men, who fur
nished each girl with a.dirk, after which
they were blindfolded and placed in an
unlighted room for half an hour and
commanded to "Fightl' Then the room
was locked and the seconds Joined the
other employees at dinner, after which
they opened the door and found both
girls alive, but mortally wounded. One
OF the CONTESTANTS was cut in twenty
seven different places, and was bleeding
to death, while the other received &C.
we're wounds in ten and fatal ones in
two places. The two seconds attempted
to escape, but were arrested and sent
to prison for six months. The girls
never spoke after the door was opened.
but one Of them lived III great agony
for several hours. IN
Near Madrid, December TO-. 1900,
Capt. Romero and Capt. Mu1illo fought
with sabers, and both were frightfully
injured and MANNED for life. Subse-
quently the principals and their seconds
(all of1cers) were arrested, and the for
mer were dismissed from the army and
the latter fined. One Of the latter, after
paying his fine, challenged the magis-
trate who fined him, who accepted and
received three wounds. He again fined
the officer, and was again challenged,
and fought with pistols, killing the ofa-
Ger at the first fire.
1t is fact, although cannot present
names or dates, that Parisian scribe
grossly insulted an army officer in the
morning edition Of his paper, fought
and killed him at noon, and published a
graphic description Of the whole affair
In his evening issue.
Quite as good little story is that In
which, at an aristocratic party in
Vienna lady dropped bouquet and
gentleman following in waltz kicked
1t to one side SO that it would not be
stepped upon, and was challenged and
wounded by the escort OF the lady who
dropped the flowers, and was afterward
nursed by and married to the lady her
self.

PLAYED SCRAMBLED BALL.
Ragged Fielding Lest the Game

Louie Balsz Has Signed and Will Pitch t.
Day Collegians Play Ball at
Central Park.

Frisco played what might be appropri-
ately called game of scrambled baseball
yesterday afternoon at Haight street. 1t
was a sadly mixed I'D mess all round, out
of which the citrus belters evolved 9 tallies.
Harris young men got 3. and they ought to
be thankful for them. After shutting out
the visitors In the previous game their
latest exploits were somewhat of surprise
even to themselves.
Iu four games played In this series Frisco
has lost two. and both were played at
Haight street. They seem TO have better
luck on the other side If the bay, or else
luck favors the visitors on this side. Frisco
outbatted their opponents, but could not do
anything I'm the feld at critical moments.
Peek Sharp is still sick and George Sharp
was stationed in the right garden, Hanley
again playing second. Sharp's fielding was
bad, his muif III the seventh being reSpOns-
ibe for three runs, but he distinguished
himself at bat.
crept in at various points and they all
counted against the struggling locals. Fam
ming went in and pitched n good game, but
fate was against him. lie held the heavy
hitters well in hand, but his support would
have lost the contest without the aid of hits.
Still there were several brilliant individual
exploits that called for loud and continued
applause. Hanley and Glenalvin performed
double plays without the aid of accomplices,
Peoples and ReitZ did some great fielding
and Hassamer was also in the game.
BRILLIANT DOUBLE PLAYS.
Southpaw Roach was in the box again for
the visitors and with the exception Of one
inning he kept the locals guessing. The
men behind him played good bal! and the
eight hits did not count for much. Levy,
Sharp ard Peoples found him for couple
Of hits each. Treadway narrowly escaped
making another home-rnn drive over right
field fence, the ball striking few inches
below the top and bounding back into the
lot. The features of the game were three
lightning double plays.
In the fifth for Los Angeles with the bags
full Uassamer sent q red-ho. liner down
over eecond base. Blockers put OH squirt.
shot up into the air and pulled the ball
down with one hand, stepped over and
touched the bag, thus retiring two men SIN
gle-handed. 1t was a great play and the
spectators showed their appreciation by ap-
plauding Mr.. Hanley. In the sixth for
Frisco Glenalvin performed like feat by
using both hands on sharp drive from the
bat of Hank Spies. Hassamer performed
the last double in the ninth bya fine run
ming catch.
This afternoon the Frisco-Los Angeles
series closes with game at Haight street
beginning at o'clock. AS the teams now
stand even on the games played this week
the contest should be close and exciting.
BalsZ has been sgued and will pitch for the
visitors aud Hoffman for the locals. The
score:
