A walking telephone caused considerable
merriment in tho business houses of OAK Park
yesterday afternoon. J.C.t Chester OF GlrRdive,
Mon. was tho curiosity. and III" speaking tubes
and 400 yards of wire that are carried upon his
person caused no little excitement among tho
pedestrians. A sign upon his breast which
read. " Yell Hello and wait for n bell ring"
made him conspicuous as he wa led about.
Chester Is an inventor and Is dear and dumb.
He says lie is on his way 10 Washington. D.Cc

BULLETS By THE BUSHEL.
Thousands or Pounds OF Lead Scattered by
Munters Over the Adirondaeks

II the lead bullets scattered about the Adiron-
dacks could be gathered into a lump, 1t would
surprise hunters. Lead is ge ting pretty thick
in places along the streams that have good rum
ways of deer on them-so thick that bullets
are picked up now and then by woodsmen.
An average of $50 shots may be reckoned for
each hunter. As each bullet weiGhs 900
grains. every hunter shoots about 2% pounds of
lead away. At Sorthwood, New York, alone
there are at least fifteen persons who shoot
that amount of lead from rifles in a year. so
some thirty-seyen pounds OF lead is fired from
Northwood rifles in n year. Then there are
twice as many city visitors. and each of them
uses nearly twice as much as tho woods
men, or four pounds apiece. Therefore. about
Northwond some $50 pounds of lead is planted
each year. This rate of shooting has been kept
up for at least ten years. making 500 pounds
OF lead Distributed about that one settlement.
There are six other settlements like NORWOOD
in the woods within twenty miles in northern
Herkimer county, so that more than 10000
pounds of lead is in that region. 1t wouldn't
pay to mine 1t, but 1t shows that a whole lot
OF ammunition is wasted, not one bullet in u
hundred killing game OF any sort.

Traru,uG Hound. to Track Deer.

In spite OF the fact that deer bounding is al
lowed for only fifteen days in New York State,
a good many Adirondack woodsmen have two
year-old hounds which they expect to train TO
track deer this winter. Their plan Is TO take
the dog into the woods in midwinter and find
n deer yard. Two or three woodsmen usually
go together. One carries n rifle and the others
pocket knives. A deer Ia over

They We're Features of Cornell Pennsy
Game Yesterday.
Philadelphia, Novemb Der 26.1The
Pennsylvania foot ball team this after.
| noon defeated the Cornell team by big
score, but. the boys from Ithaca succeed
ed in twice crossing the Quakers' goal
line. Pennsylvania scot I'd six touch
downs for total of 50 and compelled
Cornell to make a.safety touchdown,
making total score of Pennsylvania,
80; Cornell, 10.
Cornell furnished Pennsylvania with
a surprise by the fast, hard plucky
game she played. Cornell's first touch
down was due to Beacham 4. magnifi cent
running. In two runs the Cornell cap
tain carried the bali around Pennsyl-
vania's end for total of nearly SO yards
and landed it behind the Quakers' gonl
line. This was in the first halt, and in
the second half Cornell got the balloon
Pennsylvania 25-yard line and carried
the red and blue and Ritchie scored a
to u ohdown.
Beacham's all round play and running
with the ball was as fine an exhibition
of half back work as has been seen.here
this year. 10 his great playing ia most
ly due the credit of Cornell's score.
The Cornell men play ed fast and
pluckily, but they were ontmntched and
overweighted BY their heavier and
stronger adversaries, and could offer
only a stubborn, but unavailing resistance
to Pennsylvania advance. Pennsyl-
vania's style Of play bears heavily upon
the opposing team, and the Cornell play
ers suffered severely. Cornell had men
frequently hurt, and before the game
was over, had replaced three players by
substitutes.
Pennsylvania had number of men
hurt, but none were compelled to leave
the field. While Penn sylvania won rath.
or easily the Quakers' play lacked the
fierce dash and energy it showed in the
second half of the Harvard game. The
game YVES witnessed by 5000 people.
The sun shone brightly and the players
su ffered considerably from the heat.
During the game little contingent of
Cornell men made their presence known
by their constant cries. With today's
game the foot ball season of 1896 for
Pennsylvania and Cornell closes.

1O13-GERALD RAIN CLOAK.
Sizes, Medium and Large.

A becoming rain cloak is very necea-
sary part of every woman's wardrobe,
and Is generally recognized for it's USE
fulness. Our new pattern is a conserva-
tive, standard mode, which will always
look well. The long cloak Is sleeveless,
loose in front, and fitted trinity in the
back and undet the arms. The doubIe-
breasted cape affords considerable
warm tn and protection when closed. and
when open hangs with easy grace. Cra-
vsnette. which can be had in attractive
browns and glays, as well as black and
blue. is the most desirable fabric for
these oloaks, but there are also many
half-repeilent cloths in attractive mix
lures and wide-wale storm serges.
Cloaking cloths in various weights are
also used. The popular finish is ma
chine stitching.
A special illustration and full direc-
lions about the pattern will be- found on
