RECEIVER NAMED.
Affairs of the Vandalia System Placed in
Control of the Court.


Control of the Court.
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. IA. Judge
Woods, of the United States circuit
court, on Friday evening appointed re-
ceiver for the Terre Haute & Indian
apolis Railway company, naming as re-
ceiver Volney T. Malott, president Of
the Indiana national bank. The receiv-
er was appointed upon the suit Of Mark
I. Cox, James A. Blair and James w.
Paul, Jr., against the company, and the
ground for the receivership was the ad-
mission of the company in court that it
Is insolvent. The Pandalia has been
known as one OF the most prosperous
railroads of the country, and until q
year ago, when it passed into the con-
trolof the Pennsylvania company which
purchased the majority of it's stock, it
met its dividends and all charges with
the utmost promptness. During the
hearing Friday Judge Woods remarked
In court upon the peculiar fact that all
the attorneys seemed to desire re-
ceiver, and he did not make up his mind
10 appoint one until in the evening.
Some of the parties interested in Sc
curities of the system who We're not
made parties in interest are declaring
that the suit is collusive one for the
purpose of freezing them out and SELL
ing the system to the Pennsylvania at a
low figure.
The bill sets forth the history of the
company and it's obligations and then
says that interest to the amount of $91,-
900 on bonds of the st. Louis, Vandalia
& Terre Haute fell due November /,
and that it is the belief of the complain
ants that it will not be paid. The COM
plainants also aver that the principal
and interest on the first mortgage
bonds, due January /, 1897, will not be
paid when due; that upon this contin-
gency the obligations of the Terre
Haute & indianapolis and of the Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati G. St. Louis will be-
come enforceable; that in that case
the Terre Haute & Indianapolis will be
unable to comply, and claim will be
created against the defendant for reim-
bursement of its secured proportion.

Game Bird Shooting

Field training is quite as essential

down the game as for the dog in prop.

shooting will take the place of practice
on actual game. A man may shoot a
shotgun capitally over n trap, and vet
fail miserably in the field; and, con-
trariwise, l have known good field
shots who, when placed before trap,
missed glass balls or clay pigeons with
the most consistent regularity. OF
course trap shooting eau accomplish
something in the way of teaching the
tyro to handle q gun properly, but,
considered rs mere practice, it is a very
poor substitute for field shooting; and
considered as sport, it has no rank
whatever.
If one wishes to "keep his hand in"
during the close season, the most eff
caciou5 plan Is to shoot at n target
with rifle. This, indeed, is excellent
practice at all times as an aid to wing
shooting, though seemingly the two
are so very different. The value lies
In this, that rifle shooting teaches one
the necessity ofaccurate aiming, which
the bird shooter is apt carelessly to
overlook, and corrects the tendency to
jerk the trigger prematurely, which
persons of nervous temperament are
prone to acquire, particularly in wood
land shooting. Many o man, under
the stress of the excitement incident
to the flushing of game, acquires the
bad haiti of habitual aud almost in
voluntary snap shooting, regularly
pulling tho trigger rs soon as the gun
is Mt shoulder, though he may be fully
aware an instant later that the aim
was nowhere near the bird. Rifle
practice, better than anything else,
wi tend to correct this, teaching the
almost automatic mental mechanism
that governs one at the moment OF
snap shooting, to demand at least an
approximately accurate aim before re-
leasing the trigger. Ofcourse no sue
cessful handler of the shotgun expects
his aim with this weapon to be abso.

Astor's s5,O0O,OOO Hotel.

William Waldorf Aston has SIS, 0OO.-
600 invested in the Waldorf Hotel,
and has never been under it's roof but
once, only to visit friend who hap.
pened to be staying there. He drove
up to the lad es' entrance, walked
through the hall about fifty feet to an
elevator, got out at the fifth floor,
went to Mr.. Kissam's room, remained
half an hour or more, rode down the
elevator, walked to his carriage with.
out looking to the right hand or the
left, and drove away.
He has been in New York several
times since his hotel was completed,
but this is the only time he has ever
entered the doors. Whether his in.
difference is q freak or an affection no
one seems to know. The managers Of
his business, who are old family
friends and occupied similar rela-
ton with his father, submitted to him
the plans of architecture before con-
struction was begun and they were
approved by him, and he, of course,
advised rs to all that relates to tho
property. But he never goes there.
A friend suggests that his popularity
may perhaps arise from tue fact that
his late wife took an active part in
planning and particularly in selecting
the decorations of the house, bat one
would suppose that would increase his
interest in it.
a special reason for Mr.. Astor to
feel an attachment for the Waldorf is
found on the first floor, where the
dining room of his grandfather is
exactly reproduced. When the old
mansion was torn down to make way
for the hotel the architects carefully
removed the decorations from tho
walls OF tho original dining room. the
old-fashioned marquetry floor was taken
mp, the mantel, sideboards, window
frames and doors, the fireplace, chan.
deliers, and, in fact, all the finishIn9s,
and furnishings, which are OF black
walnut, handsomely carved, were
| slowed away, and then reset in what
IS known as the Aston memorial room,
but William Waldorf never has had
the curiosity to see it.-New York
