HUNTERS HIT BY THe.a GAME
Instances Where SpOrtsmen Have Received
Severe blows from Birds.

Instances Where SpOrtsmen Have Received
Severe Blows from Birds.
Game killed in full fight has mo-
mentum that carries ita long way some
times. London Field relates several in
stances where the birds have hit the
sportsman. In one case George Mon
ners was shooting in the woods of Long
Island when q grouse, driven by beaters,
came flying along fast and high up. He
shot at it, and then, with the other
barrel, fired at another bird. just as
he was about lowering his gun after
the second shot he received blow on
the head that knocked him sense
less. The grouse first hit had tumbled
against his head.
That same Gfternoon a wheeITnan
riding along near the line of hunters
admiring the scenery did not observe a
big black cock ill its feathers brushed
his head. The black cock had been
killed and had nearly hit him in falling
The Badninton volume on shooting
tells how the late Charles Leslie was
knocked cut at the battery by grouse
he' had shot. A strong hat probably
saved him from serious injury.
American hunters have had similar
experience. A man was riding along
in wagon some time ago, according
to Forest and Stream, when something
hit him on the head with enough force
to make him dizzy. An unwounded
partridge flying through the woods had
hit him fair. Why the bird did not turn
aside IS as much a mystery as the fact
that PartridGes sometimes fly against
house sides and are killed in so doing.

The Sexes in Bhrmah.

The new woman should take her way
to Burmah. There, travellers say, is the
only place OF earth where true equality
between the sexes exists. In spite Of
this, it is claimed, no women are more
womanly than the Burmese women,
whose good sense enables them to see
the line where they ought to stop. In
the higher classes a woman has Frog
erty of her own and manages it herself.
in the lower classes she always has q
trade and runs her business ON her own
responsibility, the sexes choose their
own operations, and it is curious to sec
the men sometimes sewing or embroid-
cring, while the women have nearly all
the retail trade of the island on their
hands

Cost of a Cardinals Hat.

The red hat of cardinal costs him
more money than kings pay for any ex-
cept their very best crowns. Before
accepting it the grateful prelate must
make offerings to the the propaganda
and to his titular church at Rome, and
pay fees to a long list of officials, rang
ing from chamberlains ut the vatican
down to the cooks and sweepers and the
soldiers of the Swiss guards. Indeed,
the new cardinal has to pay fees atcvery
step from the moment of his create ion
to the occasion of his receiving the rcd
hat in public consistory, and when all
is over and done finds himself out Of
pocket to the extent of So, 500 at least
IL the cardinal is without means to de-
fray the cost of his elevation, and if he
is to reside in Rome, the vatican is ready
to make him a loan to be repaid in in
stallments out of his yearly allowances.

FAMINE AND PLAGUE.
Terrible Suffering OF the Inhabitants of
India,

vivid portrayal of the awful situa-
ton in India-famine threatened for the
whole vast population. grain riots al
ready begun, and a drought of many
months in prospects, contained in a
letter which the American Board of
Foreign Missions has just received from
the Rev. R. A. Hume, D. D., dated at,
Ahmadnugger, India, October 10Th,
1896, says a Boston correspondent of the
New York Times.
81 am just entering on my 23d year of
missionary service in India" saws the
writer. "In these years 1 have been
through many perplexlties, but the end
OF the 22d years finds me In greaterp Pc
cuniary embarrassment than ever before
in my life. Many is the day that there
is not dollar in the house for personal
expenses, or for the old-established
fruitful work, or for our theological SEM
mary, nor any idea where dollar is to
come from, and in this 22d year there
appear the almost certain prospect of
the keenest and most trying suffering
and perplexity caused by widespread
famine.
1.-The Indian weather bureau foretold
an inadequate rainy season this
year. The result is as foretold. From
the Himalayas to Cape Comorin the
rainy season has been inadequate. In
this (Ahmednuggur) district the early
rain in June and July was good, but
since July there has been no rain, and
hn -
months more no rain will fall In con-
sequence the first crops have not prop
erly ripened, and for want of later rain
the second craps cannot be even sowed
In most places, unless there are wells to
be depended on. Even the water sup
ply is now low. What will it be few
months hence?
Il have been through one famine in
India, and the recollection of it is most
cad, but that was not general 30 much
as a com oaratively local famine. The
coming famine seems likely to be very
general for nearly the whole population
with it's 0e,0OO,OOo people.
Already grain riots are common. The
people people break open grain shops
and granaries, and threaten to kill the
merchants if they interfere. They
say; eve shall have soon to die with
out grain. If you interfere with our
getting your grain, we will kill you in
the struggle, it will be all the same"
''When quiet, orderly people are
aroused to such acts and words, you can
imagine their present condition.
"But this is only the beginning of our
troubles. No more rain seems likely to
fall for 81 months, and no grain can be
ripened for over 10 months. What fear
ful suffering seems to be in store.''
The Rev. Edward Hume writes from
Bombay, under date of October 10:
Yesterday's report shows that during
the past week there have been nearly
500 deaths, or so per cent above the nor
NAL number for this time of the year.
This excess is due to the presence of
the plague which the doctors technically
call "bunconic' fever. The symptoms
are swelling on the neck, in the arm pits |
and groins, accompanied by fever and
vomiting, and the patients present a
very noticeably sad and demented ap-
pearance. In one case which has been |
reported death took place after an illness

Arrangement of the Seats and
the Delegates
n THE AUDITORIUM.
Headquarters of the Different
Delegations.
Other Kansas News of General
Interest.

WICHITA, Feb. 28.-ChaTles w. Bit
ting has completed the seating of the
auditorium for the two Republican con-
ventions that will take place in it on the
9th and 10th of next month.
Mr.. Biting has now 1900 seats in the
body of the hall and still the place is not
crowded. His next duty will be to ar
range for the seating of all delee ates in
their alphabetical order. Aichison
county will come first and so on down to
Wyandotte county. The location of each
delegation will be indicated by con-
spicuous placard so that wheE a man
gets up to speak the whole convention
will know what delegation he belongs
to. This will be of great convenience to
the chairman and secretary of the con-
vention, and of incalculable convenience
to the press representatives.
In addition to seating the delegates
comfortably Mr.. Biting has alMp made
arrangements for accomm odathg the
spectators. 1t will be impossible to seat
all the spectators.
The decorations of the Auditorium are
not yet made. Old Glory will be there
and from every rafter will swing the red,
white and blue. colors SO appropriate
for every Republican gathering. The
stage will be decorated with plants and
flowers as we'll as with portraits of the
great Republican heroes, past and pres
ent, dead and living. The idea is to i'm
press the visitors with the enterprise and
patriotism of Wichita.
Great interest is being taken in the
convention. Ed Hoch of Marion was
here yesterday, securing headquarters
for himself and his am bilious friends and
he procured a fine set of rooms at the
Manhattan hotel Cy Leland has his

will also be the headquarters of the state
officers and, in fact, nearly all the Dig
/ guns of the party.

SALINA. Feb. 20 - The controversy
between the city and water works COM
pany has assumed legal phase by the
filing of the case in the district court
The specific judgement prayed for is
the annulling of the forty years contract
entered into by the city in 1888
The petitions sets forth the transac-
tions which took place between the city
and the company in 1883 and the condi-
lions upon which the franchise was
granted, and recites that since that time
the company has collected profits and
revenues aggregating 100000. 1t calls
particular attention to that clause of the
contract which provides that the city
shall have the right to acquire by pur-
chase and become the owner of the
water works system.

LEAvENwoRTH, Feb. % - Between
two and three o'clock in the morning the
big frame barn on the old Joseph Whit
taker place about one and one half miles
south of Limit street and Maple avenue
was RACED to the ground by fierce fire
which almost beyond doubt was kindled
by an incendiary.
The place is occupied by H A. Poing-
desire, the race horse man. Besides los
ing nearly all his live stock, the fire has
left him without vehicles, harness OF
feed. He finished gathering corn. yes
terday afternoon and h ad several hun
dred bushels stored in the barn.
twenty-five of the horses were being
conditioned for the English market. MIR.
Poingdestre estimates his loss at 100000.
The fire practically cleaned him out of
everything.
Thirty nine head of horses, all regis
tered, persisted. Altitude" was the only
one insured. He was in the barnyard.
Twenty eight head of cattle, all regis
tered, persisted.
Forty hogs and two or three fine dogs
burned up.
Seventy five tons of hay was con-
sumed.
Nine hundred bushels of corn was
lost.
Among the other property destroyed
were three buggies, several sets of har-
ness and all farm implements.
Mr.. Poingdestre did not have a dollar
of insurance except what was on "Alti-

HIS THROAT CUT.
A Parsons Mans Head Nearly Sc

A Parsons Mans Head Nearly Severed
From His Body.
Parsons, Feb 28.-Robert Mcdonald,
a shady character around town, is living
only by a miracle.
A man with his throat cut almost from
ear to ear rushing south on Central aven-
ne in search of doctor was a scene en-
acted in this city about o'clock. The
injured man was found by several boys,
connected with the 'Katy," near Stevens
avenue, and assisted to the office of Dr.
E. w. Boardman, where Dr. Boardmau,
assisted by Dr. Max Allen, looked after
the fellows injuries.
Upon examination it was found that
the mans throat was badly cut, the
wound extending from under the chin
to below the right ear, barely missing
the main artery of the throat. The
blood flowed freely from the wound and
his clothes were saturated with the red
fluid.
Jailer Webb recognized Mcdonald as
the man who was arrested about a year
ago on the charge of attem pting to steal
a team from Charles Howard, and con-
fined in the calaboose, and escaped
severe punishment through the insanity
dodge. Webb regards Mcdonald as an
all-round tough character, and the Off
GERS are inclined to the opinion that Nc
Donald attempted to hold up some citi-
zen and got the worst of the deal.
Mcdonald refused to talk.

SPORTS OPINION.
They Think That After a Rea-
sonable Resting Time
Fitzsimmons Should Enter the
Ring With COrbett.
BRADY's HOT TALK.
Says Jim VIII Follow Fitz to
the Earth's End.
The National Sporting Club OF
London Offers a Purse.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Corbett and
Filzsimmons will probably meet in this
city in a few days for conference. Will
liam A. Brady, who is attached to Cor
belts scientific expedition, asserts that
Fitz will be required to prescribe for
him or Corbett will get another physi-
clan.
Brady said he had had a talk with DR..
Ordway, the representative in this coun-
try of the National Sporting club of
London, and that he believes this club
will offer larger purse than the Boiling
broke club, despite the statements to the
contrary.
Corbett he went on to say, would call
on Fitzsimmons uDon the latter's arrival
in New York and attempt to effect an
understanding with him. Failing in this
he will follow him to London and again
seek personal interview with him.
Billy Edwards thinks FitzsimmOns has
a valid claim to the championships; yet,if
a match could be arranged with Corbett
he belives Fitzsimmons should face the
music.
Arthur Lumley-FitZsimmOn ought to
make a match with Corbett. The two
should settle the matter at once.
]. H. Hernandez course FitZ should
meet COrbett. 1t makes no difference
whether he is champion or not, SO long as
COrbett desires a meeting.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2S.-Quaker City
sports agree that Fitzsimmons, after a
reasonable time devoted to rest and re-
cuperation. should give Corbett run for
his money.
Jack Fogarty says: 81 think Fitzsim-
mons is entitled to a rest. He trained
hard for Corbett and kept it up for Peter
Maher. He has won the championship
fairly and should be allowed to reap
some benefit from it. When CorbetL was
champion he assumed lordly airs and
took his time. Fitzsimmons should do
the same"
John Clark. former lightweight cham
pion, said: "Fitzsimmous is entitled to
some consideration. Give him a rest.
Corbett should quit talking and wait I'M
til Fiizsimmons is ready to meet him"
Boston, Feb. est is the unanimous
opinion of Boston sporting men that
Fitzsimmons must meet Corbett.
Patsy Shepard-A champion must
meet all corners or quit The old law
was that the champion must be prepared
to fight for the championship in six
months FitZsimmons has right to take
as much time as that for rest and make
all the money he can.
