Odd Names fnr nIrds.

There are some odd names for game birds far down the Chesapeake, 4 small shy snipe that flies with a twit- tering noise is called the horsefoot snipe, because of its fondness for the horse-foot or horseshoe crab. IL is called also the turnstone, from it's habit of overturning pebbles in search of food. The telltale snipe bears that name because it always sounds note of alarm at the sight of gunner. Chesapeake gunners believe that sim gle telltale can clear whole region of game birds The widgeon is locally called the bald pate, and the willet is so called because of it's cry: "Wil-will- willetin

 Good United States people roll their eyes in holy batror when they read about the free and easy manner in which dueling is practiced abroad, says the Washington Star. Just now they are in a trcmor of indignation over the recent ulasc of the emperor of Russia, which was addressed to his army and navy officers, and in' formed them that they must rccog nize the necessity of fighting duels under certain circumstances. If these pious people were aware of how much real dueling occurs in the regular army which protects the dignity of the American flag they would begin to hold mass meetings

Conviviai CaiedOnia's Curious Inns and
 Hotels and Some Facts About Them.
 Robert Kempt has gathered together many interesting historical items and quaint anecdotes about the inns and hotels of Scotland, says the Caterer. It must be confessed the historical side begins very late, for in olden days inns were practically unknown over the border, travellers being received in pri- vate houses as guests. Consequently there is no record of such ancient Lon don hostelries as the Tabard in South wark; the Mermaid, in Bread street, or the Blue Boar, in Eastcheap. When Defoe went to Scotland he had difficult ty in finding an inn at Aberdeen, and this in spite of a royal edict issued by James l. in ii24, to the effect that in all borough towns where there was con siderable traffic, hostelries should be established, but these institutions did not flourish till very much later. Mir. Kempt gives some amusing informa~ ton as to the pains and penalties en- acted in the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries regarding the hours of clos ing, drunkenness, etc. The inns of Aberdeen are accorded whole chap ter, for there is Bluch tosay about those of the last century They practically formed open clubs for the wits and learned men of the hospitable city Over very modestrepasss and potationsf grand symposia were held: the philoso- phers lived low, bot thought and spoke high

Noble Animals Slaughtered Without Any

 4 recent visitor to Nevada, according to the Northwest Magazine, says one of the strange sights he saw in Lincoln county was the cowboys lfill- ing wild horses. "0ne morning. he said, T saw five going forth well mounted and armed with tremendously big reyolvers l asked them where they were going, '0b, out to Ri, some horses, they said. We'll, they did kill them. They had boy to change horses and ride round and round in a circuit miles in extent after them. As the wild horses would come around the cowboys would bang them over fsaw horse after horse great magnificent stallions of all colors killed in this way. They would come around on the dcad run. There would be shot, or probably a fusillade of shots. The horse would take leap into the air and come down dead. It looked q shame tokill such magnificent brutes, but the cow boys shot them down without the least compunction.'
 mere are tnOuSdnuS or these Wll0 horses in Nevada, and about the only excuse given for shooting them is that the stallions entice away the domestic mares, which then become as wild as the other horses.

j. X. Emmett, Jr.. Pulled Away From His
Victim Just in Time
San Francisco, June 81. K. Emmet,
Jr., the German comedian, attempted
to murder his wife last night and was
only prevented from executing his de-
sign by the forcible interference Of
neighbors. Emmet had been about town
all day and In the evening returned
home in a drunken condition. He and
his wife had an alteration and EN-
met pursued the woman into the street
and fired pistol at her at close range.
Then he caught the unfortunate woman
and beat her about the face with the
butt of the weapon. Two young men
pulled the maddened actor from his
victim and turned him over to the po-
lice.
Mrs. Emmet was taken to the receiv-
ing hospital where she refused to allow
her wounds to be examined. She had
violent attack of hysteria and the sur
geons could do nothing with her. She
insisted that she had not been shot and
said her husband was too big coward
to shoot her. There was slight wound
in her temple and the police surgeon
thinks that the bullet glanced and
lodged under the scalp.
Emmet and his wife concluded an en-
gagement at local theater. where they
played comedy called Fritz In a Mad
house."
Mrs. Emmet is a California girl and
is known as Milly Layton. She mar
rfed Emmet about three years ago. Af-
ter refusing to be examined at the hos
pital she was allowed to leave and Is
now stopping with friends at hotel.
Emmet Is In Jail.
Emmett was bailed out Of jail tonight
His wife's injuries are not serious. Mrs
Emmet had recovered her self-posses-
sion today and refused to discuss her
trouble with her husband. Emmet him
self said he had no cause for shooting
his wife and attributed his deadly as
sault upon her to too much drink. Mrs
Emmet will probably not prosecute her
husband and the matter will be drop
ped.

It will split the party. The democrats

Carllsle's speech was an excellent one
and deserves to be widely read. It un-
doubtedly had influence in the south,

this question as they did the greenback
question. They want sound money now
just as much as they did them
Whitney said he felt, however, that
the free-silVer question was liable to
assume the same proportions, or even
greater ones, than did the greenback
question. He intinated that ar organ
lied educational movement was necas-
sary to counteract the spread Of the

II do not think the republican. will
