highly nervous organization. the result of care
full and select breeding. They are trained from
puppyhood for special work, and how faith
fully and lovingly they perform their duties!
1t is a mutual contract, which the dog under
stands as well as his master. The setter or
pointer knows that it is his place to find the
game and his masters business to bag it. There
is also a mutual dependence; one cannot get
along without the other.
The instincts of these animals, engendered
by generations Of judicious breeding and break
ing, is wonderful. tits next to human reasoning.
One admirable feature of gun clubs is that
they all favor protection for the game and use
every endeavor to see the game laws carried
out. Experience has proved that indiscrimi-
nate slaughter Of fur and feather, even in the
most favored localities, speedily drives away or
exterminates the game, while moderate de-
gree Of protection will keep their number prac-
hcally undiminished.
One substantial proof Of the great increase of
sportsmen is the number OF syndicates which
buy up large tracts Of Wild uncultivated lands
are many of these properties in North Carollns
and Virginia, and the experiments have in every
instance proved a success
1t should be borne in mind that it is not the
sportsman who exterminates the game. It Ii
the avaricious market gunner and soulless poi
hunter who kill erything in sight and whose
appetite for slaughter is Unsuitable. In these
game preserves. however, every precaution il
used to keep this gentry away, and q member
therefore, of one Of these clubs can count or
moderate sport for the balance of his life.
The south will always be the Mecca Of Amer
lean sportsmen. The vast inaccessible swamps
the immense areas Of unhealthy low grounds
the great stretches of barren lands with soil q
thin as to make agriculture Q failure, seem e
have been designed by nature As an inexhausti
BILE reservoir for game.
For the fisherman Canada presents unequalei
attractions. and its immense territory, az virgi,
now a. in the prehistoric age, furnishes the in
| est sport to both the wielders of rod and gun.
In conclusion. 1t can be truly said that tn,
prospect of small game for the future was neye
better for the legitimate Sportsman, and 70,
many years to come the amateur can find a rea
| sonable amount Of shooting in the field, ana
the fisherman can follow the mountain stream
and gain health and pleasure in I've gentle pur
| suit Of angling"

A Convict Runs Amuck.

John johnson, vino Is known as "the Blue
Negro from Clyde" ran amuck In the broom
shop of Auburn prison Monday morning He
was armed with sharp knife used In cutting
broom corn and first attacked Charles Peck, a
fellow convict from Westchester county
leaving him dead In his tracks. He next IA
tally stabbed Daniel Britain, convict, and
wounded two Others before he was oyerpow-
cred. The blade entered Brittan's stomach
and he now lies in precarious condition In
the hospital. 1t is thought he will die
johnson stabbed right and left while he was
at liberty and several other convicts suffered
severe cuts.
The blade OF Johnson's knife was broken
of during the melee and could not be found
He directed vicious blow at Keeper Mitchell
after the blade had been broken, but It did
not penetrate his clothing. The keeper drew
his revolver, but just as he was about to pull
the trigger somebody hit his arm and the
ball went wide of its mark. IL frightened
Johnson into surrcndering, however, and he
made no further resistance. He was taken
10 the prison jail.
The cause OF the trouble IS sai1 to have
been an old grudge held by johnson against
a number Of convIcts in the shop and he had
made a threat that as soon as Captain Baker
had day off he would do up the shop.
Baker was not on duty aud johnson started
In early to carry his threat into execution.

ZANTE SHAKEN AGAIN.

One OF tho Ionian Islands suffers Greatly
from = Shock.
The island of Zantc, one Of the principal
1onian islahds. was visited BY most destruc-
tive earthquake on the 17th resulting In great
loss Of life and property. The shock appears
to have been most violent In the city OF
Zante, the greater part OF which was de-
stroyed. The people are panic-strlcken and
the authorities helpless. The streets are in,-
passable being filled with masses Of stone
and timber, the wreckage Of the houses
which were thrown down by the earthquakJ :.
Thus far the bodies Of twenty persons killed
by falling walls have been removed from tie
debris, and 1t Is feared that many more do I'd
are still in the ruins. The number Of perso IL
injured runs up into the hundreds.
The greater portion Of the Inhabitants ha !e
fed to the uplands, back of the city, wh.fe
they wander about In n distracted manner ,t-e-
wailing the loss Of their homes and property.
The city presents scene OF dcsolatIon, and 1t
is doubtful II 1t ever recovers from the serids
the past three months.
Advices from the interior show that the
whole island has been devastated. Many vii
lagos have been destroyed, and 1t thought
that the loss Of life has been very great
Thousands are without shelter and few have
sufficient food. The British minister resident
has tclegraphed to the British foreign office
request for warships TO be sent at once TO
Zante with men and building materials, that
temporary sheds may be erected for the shell
ters at once on the plains and hilsides.
