Some Wonderful Hunting stories.

Some Wonderful Hunting Stories.
The tales that are told by sportsmen after
they have returned from the pursuit OF game
are often almost too wonderful to be true, says
HGDer's Young People, and yet it is diff
cult when listening to the good fellows who mar
rate them to believe that there is any intention
on the hunters part to deceive.
One OF the most marvellous stories of the
hunting field Of late comes from Paris and is
as follows: A hunter, resident of a small
town IN the south Of France, who had spent
considerable part of the day In an unsuccessful
quest for game. and had discharged his shot
gun many times without result, caught sight
on bis way home, of superb pigeon well up
IN an oak tree which grew on
very steep hillside. The hunters
gun was charged with powder but he was en-
tirely out OF shot. In this emergency, and re-
solving firmly that he would have the pigeon,
he sat down on the ground took out his pocket
knife, and with it pulled several nails out of the
soles of his shoe. With these he loaded his gun.
Inc pigeon sat in his place. The hunter aimed,
Ilred, ana the pigeon was nailed to branch of
the oak tree with the shoe nails The hunter
was almost in despair, seeing the game fastened
apparently beyond his reach. But he climbed
the tree, assembled with difficulty to the place
where the pigeon hung, and had just taken the
through the air.
AS chance would have it, the hunter landed in
the midst Of a hare's nest. He began 20 roll
rapidly down the steep and slippery hillside:
but before he did so he seized a large hare
firmly by the hind legs Then rolling forward
he slid plump into covey OF partridges and
striking about him with the hare, he succeeded
in killing nine of these admirable birds.
He then picked himself up, and took himself
homeward with his pigeon, his hare and bis
partridges, well satisfied with the results of his
days sport.
This is almost as wonderful. really, as that
old. old story of Baron Munchausen who, when
hunting for deer upon one occa ion, encount-
cred magnificent animal. but like the French
man above, found himself without shot. Speed
lily gathering together a handful of cherry
stones he loaded his gun with them and fred at
the deer, hitting him squarely between the
eyes, not killing him, however. The deer man
aged to escape, but some time later the baron
encountered him again and was surprised to see
beautiful cherry tree growing out of the ami
mails forehead, covered with blossoms and
fruit. 1t is suspected that the Baron Mum
chausen story is not true, but the other is
claimed to be so, although we may all have our
private opinion on the subject

ItalV's Scandals.

The scandals growing out OF the misuse OF
the funds OF the banks Of Italy are causing
almost as much excitement in that country
as the Panama scandal is causing in France.
These scandals include not only bank Of
ficials, but also prominent public men, In
our dispatches yesterday it was stated that
the governor Of the Bank Of Rome, who is
now in prison, had made a confess, on
in which be stated that be had
given money 70 at least three Italian
premiers TO be used to maintain
the strength Of the government in the
chambers. He asserted that within the
last few years he had used es much as
81, 125, 900 of the banks funds in this way.
The plain Inference from his statement Is
that the statesmen ct the head of the
government had brought influences to bear
upon him TO use the banks money TO bride
members of the chambers TO stand by the
government when the government was too
weak to carry its own measures.
Very naturally the people are indignant
that the banks should be wrecked tor any
such purpose, aud they insist upon knowing
who the premiers are who got the money
from the Bank of Rome and who the mem
bers Of the chambers are who we're bribed.
The money in circulation in Italy is issued
by the banks. 1t is based upon the credit
of the banks, and not upon securities which
cannot be reached by banks plunderers. az
Is the case in this country. When bank
is wrecked, therefore, its notes are praoti.s
cally worthless.
There are millions CT dollars of bank
notes In circulation in Italy and the people
who own them are greatly alarmed by the
disclosures. relative to the rotten condition
of the banks, that are being made.
The investigation that has been begun
promises to be rich in scandals. Now that
it is known that statesmen of the highest
standing are implicated in bank wrecking
the people naturally want to know the con-
dition Of all the banks. They have, to
considerable extent lost confidence in them
aud the country Is threatened with greet
financial disaster.

The Last Congressional" Duel.

TIE csntral,a REORGANIZATION.

In connection with the announcement
that the Mercantile Trust Company Of New
York will be ready to receive deposits of
! the secur. ties of the Central Railroad and
/ Banking Company on Feb. S, the New York
/ Tribune publishes a statement that the re-
I organization committee is confident thai
the reorganization scheme will go through.
That paper also says that in case tire
underlying liens do not respond favorably
20 the offer made under the reorganization
plan tho banking syndicate back of the
scheme intends to carry out a reorgauiza-
ton Of the Centraps main lins. If this
alternative is brought about the
underlying liens, the bankers say, will not
receive oue-hnlf the values now offered
them under the terms OF reorganization.
This statement of the bankers is evi.
IDENTIFY not intended TO influence the
holders OF the securities of the auxiliary
roads 1t is plain statement Of facts. 1t
is clearly the purpose Of the banking syndi-
cate to reorganize the main stem of the
Central, and if possible, the auxiliary
lines. The auxiliary lines, however, are
not Indispensable to reorganization.
II the latest report Of the Central Rail-
road and Banking Company is correct, ard
there is no reason to doubt that it is, the
main stem Of the Central can get along
much better without the auxiliary lines
than they can without the main stem.
A committee of the Southwestern directors
is now in New York seeking information In
respect to the reorganization scheme.
1t is expected that its report will be favor
able to the scheme. There doesn't seem to
be any good reason why it shouldn't. The
scheme is a very liberal one to the South
western-much more liberal, in fact, than
it was thought it would lie. The business
OF that road is not as large and profitable
as 1t was few years ago. 1t will be some
years before its net earnings will be any
where near what they once were.
Itappears as if theRichmond Terminal had
about determined to submit to the process
of reorganization. The fact that Drexel,
Morgan 81 Co. have been asked to take hold
of it. with the view of recognizing it, looks
as if it thought there is a chance for it to
get on its feet again, as 1t were.
If its reorganization is undertaken 1t is a
question whether the Georgia Central will
be included in its scheme. There may still
be hope Of a reorganization which will bind
together the three great systems which the
Terminal once controlled.
The safer conclusion, however, is that the
reorganization OF the Georgia Central will
be carried on Independently of the Terminal.
In the Terminal itself there doesn't seem to
be much to reorgsnize.

Why Not Georgia Marble2

The owners Of marble quarries in Georgia
and Tennessee are complaining that very
large proportion of the marble to be used in
the library building at Washington is to be
obtained from Italy, and that the discrim-
ination against the marble of this country
is unjust. The complaint is well founded,
and should be noticed by congress. There
is no good reason why American marble
should not be given the preference in the
construction of our public buildings.
1t may be true that finer marble can be
obtained from Italy, but there is plenty OF
marble IN this country OF very fine quality,
and 1t is good enough for our public build
ings. 1t is said by competent judges that
there is Just as good marble in this country
as in any other part of the world Many
architects however, have a prejudice in
favor of Italian marble, and they favor the
use OF It whenever they have an opportu-
nifty to do so. Even if the Italian marble
is of finer quality than any that can be
obtained in our Quarries it doesn't follow
that we must necessarily use it, il the home
product will answer our purpose. Marble
OF excellent quality can be obtained
in this state and Tennessee, and at
price very much less than that of italian
marble. There isn't one person in hun
dred who could say from a personal exami-
nation that Italian marble is better than
American, and not one in a thousand who
wouldn't be just as we'll satisfied if Ameri-
can, instead of Italian. marble should be
used In the library building. Why, then,
should the architects of that building be
permitted to put the country to the great
expense Of importing marble from Italy for
the building.
The Georgia and Tennessee marbles excite
general admiration f9F their beauty and
quality, and In the buildings In which they
have been used they have given great salts
faction.
1t seems strange that those who are SO
anxious to build up home industries should
be SO willing that there should be such a
discrimination against home marble as is
shown by those who have charge of the
construction Of the magnificent new library
building at Washington.

Mr.. Thompson's Chance.

Ex-Secretary OF the Navy Richard
| Thompson, will have a chance to-day to tell
what he knows of the disposition of the
| S2,500,a00 of the Panama canal fund al
legged TO have been sent TO this country.
There is a very general desire to know for
what purpose this immense sum was spent.
Mr.. Thompson has been interviewed several
times on this subject. but the information
he has furnished has not been entirely salts
factory.
1t is reasonable to suppose that Mr. Thomp-
son has an accurate account Of all the
money that passed through his hands, and
memoranda showing to whom 1t was paid.
II he has not there will be a suspicion that
it was not all paid out for salaries, dredge
boats, and cars for the Panama railroad.
Col. Fellows is the chairman Of the con-
gressional Investigating committee, and as
he is a skillful cross-examiner he may place
Mr.. Thompson in a very uncomfortable
position unless the latter is exceedingly
frank.
There would never have been an investi-
cation Of this matter by congress if there
was not a suspicion that portion Of the
money was used to gain the good will of
certain influential persons who were
thought to be able to prevent legislation
hostile to the Panama canal.
While the people would be gratifed if it
should appear that the money was used for
legitimate purposes they want 1t to be
clearly shown that it was 30 used. They
are not anxious that it shall appear that
public men in this country are tainted by
the scandal, but they insist that IL any Of
them are the fact shall be made known.
The surest way to prevent scandals in public
life Is to make odious those who permit
themselves to share in the proceeds of dis
reputable practices. There is considerable
speculation as to how Mr.. Thompson will
acQuit himself before the investigating COM
mittee.

A bill providing for the establishment of
a state colony for epileptics will be intro
duoed in the New York legislature at the
current session. The movement to provide
such colony was started a year ago, and
a commission has been considering the sub
iect since The proposed charity is one
that deserves success. Epileptics are, by
the nature Of their misfortune, debarred
from both business and society. No bust
ness man would take an epileptio into his
store or factory, or put one in charge of a
railroad train or a steamboat; neither are
epileptics invited to balls or dinner parties.
AS a consequence, the unfortunate who is an
epileptic is almost ostracized because of his
physical infirmity and through no fault of
his own. What is proposed by the New
York bill is to provide for this class of peo-
pie so that they may suffer no absolute
want because of their inability to work and
live as other men do. They will not be put
on the same footing with paupers or
lunatics, but will be provided with the
means of earning their own livelihood in a
home with hospital buildings ana staff, ar
ranged for their especial care.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1898

The resignation Of Prof. Henry Preserved
Smith from the faculty of Lane Theological
Seminary Of Cincinnati has not been &C
cepted- Indeed, his theological opinions,
for the holding Of which he was recently
adJudged a hereto by the Cincinnati
presoytery, have been sustained by the
seminary trustees in declaring vacant the
chair held by Prof. Roberts, one Of Prof.
Smiths chief opponents. This action still
further cOmphcstes the tanZle in which
northern Presbyteriaus find themselves.
Frot. Smith teaches practically the same
theories as those taught by Dr.. Briggs, yet
Prof. Smith has been pronounced guilty of
heresy by one presbytery and DR.. Briggs
held guiltless by another. Prof Smiths
university, which is attached to the Gin
cinnan presbytery, sustsins the Briggs
smith school Of theology against It's own
church court, and discharges a professor
who has fought for the old faith as against
the new school What will the result be,
new Presbyterisnistn' The two doctrines
that are now taught by ministers of the
church cannot be roconciled with each
other, and it seems that division is almost
inevitable.
