F;.,go Argus: Now that tho game sen
son is open. hundreds upon hundreds #
luen have shouldered their guns and set
forth TO kill as many as possible of the
native fowl prairie chicken. But many
have met with keen disappointment, and
in man, instances hunters nave been sur
uriseu at the scarcity of this fowl.
There is one thing positive. if hunters
have not violated the chicken law RS re-
CARDS to time, chickens arc diving Oft. but
it is generally believed that the reason
there are but few fowls is that men have
been at it for three weeks hunting. The
law Is very specific in regard to this mat
ter and NO man can m%iscOnstrue it. Ev-
cry sheriff, constable, policeman, market
master brother officer is supposed to en-
{ roe the law and to see to it that chick
ens nre not disturbed before the Goth day
o! August, 1t is evident that the chickens
have been disturbed rs much as three
weeks ago, as they arc all scattered now.
A prominent citizen who had been in the
country for two days stated that there
was not a covey to be seen anywhere with
more than seven or eight birds in it. He
further stated that where he shot eighty
birds in one day last year, he got seven
birds this year.
Ii the work of destruction is allowed to
80 on the consequence will be no birds IN
nshort time. 1t was the same way with
the buffalo. They were roaming these
prairies fifteen years ago. but one cannot
be found to-day. Hunters are returning
one by one, and all express the same
opinion, that chickens are fewer in GUAM
ti"y in the State than ever before.

TIs a humiliating travesty upon
Republican form of government
that it's financial management must
be given over to an English-Ameri-
can syndicate of millionaires. II is
unheard of in any form of govern
ment heretofore-a shame and a
disgrace upon the name of this
government. Another bond issue
by the government seems inevitable
provided this Cleveland-Oarlisle
syndicate of English and American
capitalists will consent to buy the
bonds. There is little fear bat
that they will DO this as they make
many millions out of every bond
purchase. II is time the masses OF
the American people called a halt

'.THEMSELVES TO BLAME"
COrOncr's Jury Verdict on the Balti-
more Thenter Disaster.

A coroner's jury was in session for sew
eral hours yesterday in Baltimore in an at
tempt to learn just why the terrible Front
Street Theater accident happened. After
sitting the testimony of a large number of
witnesses, the jury returned a verdict stat
ing that there was no ground for the
stampede; that the cry of fire which was
raised was entirely without foundation;
that if the audience had remained in their
seats no one would have been injured In
conclusion, the verdict says:
I'VE can attach blame to no one except
the audience itself, which became panic
stricken and raised the cry of fire simply
because some one had ignited a leakage in
gas pipe, which leakage trivial
that witnesses testified that it could have
remained burning for hours without dam
age"
Jacob Scbneiderman's testimony created
sensation in the jury room. He swore
that gang of fifty persons were response
BILE for the horror. 1t their intention
to cause a stampede for the purpose of rob-
bery-jeweiry, money, clothing, anything
which they could take from the excited
people. He asserted that many of the gang
came from other cities. but that some of
IS members We're residents of Baltimore

nifty.
Il believe you are well informed upon all
financial questions?'
My friends and the press are kind
enough to say So"
You have given much attention to the
subject, / think?'
More than to anything else"
And no doubt you could give a satisfac-
tory answer to almost any question might
ask"
The member saw that he was being In
terviewed and wished to say something
that would look well in print.
Perhaps l could, If it were in the power
of any man." he answered.
well, l nave a question of finance that
l should be greatly pleased if you would
answer to my satisfaction"

Effect of Trolley and Electric Light

From the Baltimore Sun.
The destruction by fire of Oehm's Acme
Hall last Thursday night, preceded Only a
few days by disastrous fire in the store of
He;delberge: & Co, not far from Oehms,
on Baltimore street near Charles street,
has aroused insurance mer to the necessity
of dealing with one of the causes-oVerhead
electric light wires-to which many of these
fires are attributed. Then. too, the wires
interfere seriously with the firemen in their
work.
The placing of wires underground is re-
garded by insurance men as the only avail
able solution of the problem which con-
fronts them. Property holders, it is point
ed out. are interested because of the in
crease of insurance rates. and insurance
men are interested because of the multi
plcity of fires.
In the last five or six years it is stated
because of the Introduction of the trolley
system for street cars here and of the in
crease of electric light wires insurance
rates have advanced in some sections of
the city from 20 to 30 per cent

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
The Sad Funeral of Little Willie Bur-
nette.
Floral Offerings From Youthful Com
panions-Other Notes From Across
Rock Creek.

Willie Burnette's body was yesterday
borne to Glenwood cemetery The newsboy is
now forever at rest. There were hundreds
present at the burial services in Peck Me-
mortal Chapel. Four policemen had to keep
the crowd in check on the outside Of the
church, in order that the coffin might be
carried in.
The pallbearers, who We're from the Hud-
son Tent of Rechabites, the Peck choir and
from deceaseds class at the Sunday school,
were Harry Culver, Leonard Waters. VIM.
Mutchler. Edward Kloche, William Quack-
enbush and Harry Decker. The services
were very impressive. Several hymns be-
fitting the solemn occasion were sung, to-
gether with resurrection anthem. Mr.. A.
p. Burridge, the choir leader, sang Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" the dead boys favorite.
Two ministers conducted the services, Rev.
c. Alvin Smith, the pastor of Peck, and the
Rev. Dr. Childs. Mr.. Smith dwelt upon the
boys innocent life and the happiness that
awaited the coming of the earthly end
The case Of the boy excited deep
sympathy all over the West End and
hundreds found themselves unconscious
ly the little sufferers friends. The
attendance was not composed of curious
people-they We're sympa thiZers, people who
had been sincerely touched by the distress
1ng affair that ended in death. The floral
tributes were very handsome.
There was a pathetic incident in connec-
ton with the funeral Willie died on Thurs
day afternoon That evening there was the
usual gathering of newsboys at the home"
on the corner of Sd and C streets. Willie's
death was mentioned, and it was suggested
That perhaps they would like to send a few
flowers for his funeral. The little fellows
including those living at the home, at once
seized on the suggestion and eagerly put
in their pennies and nickels until they had
an even dollar. Two little boys from the
home afterTard walked over two miles to
add twenty-six cents to this sum. Mr.. ].
II. Small, the florist heard of this, and with
his usual generosity, without regard to
cost. prepared for the boys a beautiful
design in roses and lilies of the valley of
the gates ajar." No more beautiful Or
touching offering was laid on the coffin of
Willie Burnett yesterday than that of his
fellow newsboys and their companions of
the Newsboys' Home On the card attached
to the design was the inscription:
From the Newsboys and Children of the
Newsboys Home.
