imals have taken up a habitation in the
Whitney woods. and are now running
wild, apparently more contented than
they were in their mountain Businesses,
where they were so frequently disturbed
The collection of this game began one
year ago, when young Harry Payne Whit
ney took his bride, Gertrude Vanderbilt,
up to October mountain for honeymoon.
Soon afterward Mr.. Whitney and his bride
went up and, while there MIR. and Mrs
Whitney planned the present game pre-.
serve.
All that you can see Of October noun
tain is a very large. roomy residence,
not much unlike the old baronial hall or
spacious farm house Of the Walter Scott
days. 1t sets back httle and 20 the
rear Of it rise the trees. the woods where
the game roam. Very tall wire fences
bound the preserve, ana there is no dan
ger that the animals will escape.
An interesting tale is told of The meas
ures taken 20 prevent the wholesale
slaughter Of the -Four Hundred now az
Lenox for the month Of September Mr..
Whitney had been quietly gathering To-
gether for some time the black-taiied
deer the antelope and such small fry. TO
which no one paid much attention. But
one day Il was nolsed about that a whole
carload OF bunaloes had arrived. and that
there was wild stampeding al the sta
ton when they tried TO unload. As yet il
had been impossible TO get them into the
trucks
Within five minutes a delegation OF Ie-
Whitney ana demanded 60 know what pre-

the Duchess of Cleveland remarked to
William Waldorf Astor IN inspecting his
new staircase, Yes its all very fine, and
much better than our Old staircases at
Battle Abbey, which has been spoiled
these 200 years by the spurs Of those stupid
old knights!"
But the stupid old knights" are the
ones that are prized here. The window
where Hawthorne sat. the room where
Fannie Kemble studied, the cottage in
which Harriet Hosmer dwelt. the J. G.
Holland house are all landmarks of Le-
nox, and when you set out to buy place.
you take one with a landmark OF this kind
already on II. Then you enlarge much as
you please, but you do not tear down the

That William Waldorf Astor story was
told at dinner party a a very fashion

fraud and kept alive with false
hood.
Logically the statement was alb
surd on the face of it. Could any
man of honor and self respect affix
his signature solemnly to a docu-
ment and a few hours afterward
repudiate the act. Only minds
who have acted in such a way could
conceive such a thought. Repudi-
alton of signatures is royal attri-
butte which, thank heavens, the
true Republican and the true gen
tleman would scorn, and John
Sherman is both true Republican
and true gentleman.
The report which was sent from
Washington, and which has re-
appeared, was quickly denied by
the Secretary of State. His words
are emphatic.
TT is absolutely untrue that l
am opposed to the annexation OF
Hawaii. l don't see how such a
report originated, much less how it
came to be circulated. =
1 am convinced that it is highly
proper to take steps for the an
[nexation of Hawaii. You can say
in the most positive terms that
am decidedly in favor of the an
nexation of Hawaii. ="
Were Mr.. Sherman aware Of the
nature of those opposing annex
alton he would not be surprised a

nation. In this case it is mad'

easy to nail as a lie. Usually thu

Since our last announcement
the Iolani has arrived with a
very heavy cargo of kerosene
oil and in consequence the
price has dropped, making the
using of oil stoves more econ

The demand for BLUE

so heavy that it has been al
most impossible to carry a
stock large enough to supply
the call.
Where formerly we had on
the two styles, we now have
three sizes, the third size being
smaller than the other two.
The PORTABLE DEITZ
OIL STOVE is built on the
same lines as the coal and wood
stoves, with the exception that
it consumes oil. This stove is
complete with oven, kettle and
stew pan. We have smaller
styles in one, two and three
burners for heating milk ETC.,
that comes in handy when not
wishing to cook a full meal.
In coal and wood stoves and
