KILLED I,4OO QUAIL.
Remarkable Record Made by Hunters
Near New Orleans.

New Orleans, Feb. Cone of the
most remarkable hunts ever recorded
occurred in the neighborhood of Ope-
lousas few years ago, when 400 quail
were killed in three days by five good
sportsmen. This is one of the most re-
markable bags in years, and, in fact,
is rated as the largest ever held in this
state.
The party left Opelousas and rode IS
miles back into the heart of the forest
to little Indian settlement, called
Fackatalgue, where they went into
camp. The story of the hunt was re-
lated yesterday by Mr.. p. ]. Chaudet, a
travelling man thoroughly reliable He
is known as good sportsman himself.
and never spins yarns. Mr.. Chaudet
stated, in the course of his nara tive,
that the five hunters, with their dogs
and a quantity of ammunition, drove
out to the Indian settlement, and the
day following started in for the hunt.
That district is thoroughly wild in it's
lack of civilization, and the marksmen
found the greatest quantity of quail.
They were flushed in big covies and
shot down in large numbers. At the
end of the third day the party had 400
birds One of the members of this par
ty himself killed $50 birds during the
hunt The average bag to the man
amounted to nearly 100 a day The
country in that district is peculiarly
adapted to such game, and it is known
that quail especially gather there in
quantities.

MILLIONS FOR SCHOOLS.
Chicago Board Makes it's Estimate
for Appropriations

Chicago, Feb. 6.-The board of educa-
ton needs 81, 975 900 for the use of its
buildings and grounds committee, and
Sc, O3O 600 for educational purposes. This
is equal to per cent of the tax levy
provided by law The finance COM
anittee of the board met yesterday and
prepared the estimates for the 1898 APP
preparations. The statement will be
turned over to the city comptroller, who
will present it to the council when it
takes up the annual appropriation bills.
An increase in nearly all departments
has been estimated. The council last
year allowed $4,000 for school sites.
This year $500, 600 is asked. For new
buildings last year the board was given
$3.50, 900. This year it wants $4,000
The appropriation for buildings and
grounds is the most serious problem the
board has to contend with. There are
pressing needs on every hand for new
buildings to accommodate the children
who are now occupying rented rooms
or have to be contented with half day
divisions superintendent Lane esti-
mates it will take SO, 000,0 900 to provide
school accommodations for all who need
them. There is left out of the appro-
priations for the past year, which has
been placed to the credit of the build
ing fund, $94S, 600 This amount, with
the appropriation asked and a like APP
preparation for 1859, it is believed, will
permit the board to build sufficient
schools in the next three years to meet
the demands of the city.

OYSTERMEN UPIN ARMS.
They are Opposed to the Scheme to
Sell the State Oyster Beds.

Norfolk, VT, Feb. 6.-The Virginia
Oystermen'S Protective association will
wage an aggressive warfare on the
proposition which has been advanced
providing for the disposal of the com
monwealths interest in the natural
oyster rocks.
The beds are now public property and
any enterprising 'longshoremanc can take
his boat and oyster tOngs and make
fairly good living by the payment of
nominal tax.
The new scheme, which takes the
form of a constitutional amendment,
would, they claim, throw the oyster
rocks on the market where they would
be purchased by big companies, and
thousands of Industrious oystermen
would be thrown out of employment.
They further claim that this sale would
mean the destruction of the oyster
wealth of the Chesapeake and other
Virginia waters, as the syndicate pur-
chasing the beds would remove the BIZ
valves with dredges instead of by la
bOriOus longing, and the rocks would be
destroyed by the machinery.

MUSK OXEN AND BEARS.
Field Columbian Museum Adds Six
teen Specimens to it's Collection.

Chicago, Feb 6.-Having succeeded
IN capturing its pick of the dix diks and
the lloodoos of Africa, Director Skiff of
the Field Columbian Museum has turn
ed his hand to game from the other eX-
IRENE of the globe.
Yesterday a consignment of IL musk
oxen and four polar bears arrived at
the museum via New Bedford Mass.
Chief Taxidermist c. z. Akley,in whose
care they have been put, said that the
skins are from the finest animals ever
caught.
When Mr.. Akley gets them in place
he will have the largest collection of
musk oxen in existence and in fact the
museum will have as many as all the
universities in the United States COM
bined. The group represents an entire
family during the different seasons of
the year.
The musk oxen came from that part
of Labrador where the thermometer
hugs the zero mark in the middle of the
summer and the polar bears came from
some cool nook in Greenland.

SICK OF ITS PRESERVES.
Tolleston Gun Club Tired of Litigation
and Bloodshed.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-The Tolleston Gun
club may give up its holdings in the
marshes of Lake county. Indiana.
The members of the club met al the
Sherman House yesterday to discuss
the recent shooting ARRAY, which has
accumulated the feeling of hostility
among the people of Lake county
against the sportsmen. Bloody fights
between the watchmen employed by the
club and the surrounding farmers have
marked the history of the club since the
Chicago men who bought the land start
ed in to preserve game for their own
sport In the affray three weeks ago
four farmer boys were shot, two of
them being fatally wounded by the
gamekeepers. The odium in which the
club is now held in northern Indiana
has made several of the members anx-
ious to resign. They feel that they
should not be held responsible for the
hasty acts of the gamekeepers, it is
said and advocate the sale of the marsh
lands.
This was partly the cause of the
calling of the meeting yesterday by
President f. F. Daniels.
Fifteen members were present when
Mr.. Daniels called the meeting to order.
The president requested all those not
members to withdraw from the room.
The doors were locked and the curtains
drawn. Then followed a stormy Ses-
sion which may result in the sale of
the land and the dissolution of the Toll
lesion Gun club.

FOG WHISTLE SILENT.
During a Heavy Fog the Sheboygan
is Not Blown.

Cleveland. Feb. 6.-During the intense
cold snap on Monday of last week, when
Lake Michigan resembled an immense
caldron of boiling water from the mass
of vapor which filled the atmosphere
above it and shut everything from view
as effectively as a dense fog during or
binary seasons of navigation, Captain
Shines of the Goodrich liner Iowa re-
ported that the fog whistle at Sheboy-
gan was not sounded.
When confronted with the charge
Lightkeeper Carpenter admitted it's
truth, but defended the omission by
saying that he regarded the fog on
that day as merely a surface mist, as
he was able to see many of the towers
of the city which ne ordinarily utilities
as guides. The government rules, he
claimed also, leave the sounding of the
whistle to the judgment of the attend
ant, and he did not think the fog was
dense enOgh to waste government fuel
upon. Besides the Iowa found the har-
Dor without the aid of the whistle while
he was up town.

A SIX MILE SHELL.
At Last Louis Gathmann's Dynamite
Gun Proves Successful

Washington, Feb. 6.-Louis Gath
mann's destructive torpedo shell was
successfully fired from the big 13-inch
gun at the Indian Head proving
grounds about L o'clock this afternoon.
This was the preliminary step toward
demonstrating the fact that enormous
charges of gun cotton can be fired with
accuracy for many miles and an explO-
sion produced which would in all prob
ability destroy any ship af1oat or any
fortified work ashore.
The test today was secret one and
was intended solely to demonstrate
whether or not the thin steel shell de-
vised by Mr.. Gathmann could be sub
jected to a high powder pressure with
out explosion. The result was a COM
plete triumph for the new projectile,
which was fired from the gun intact in
spite of the fact that the walls of the
shell were only from three-eighths to
one-quarter of an inch in thickness. as
compared with several inches of solid
steel in an ordinary chell
Today's test apparently demonstrated
that a shell constructed on the theory
devised by the Chicago inventor can be
thrown easily with muzzle velocity of
/, 545 feet per second, which would ap-
parently carry il six miles and explode
it on contact with any substance sufh-
Client to diminish its speed.

SOROSIS ON EVENTS.
Women DISCUSS International Arbi-
tration and Foreign Alliances

New York, Feb.6.-Sorosis had a very
beautiful musical prelude to the discus
sion yesterday al the Waldorf, in songs
by Helen Granden Lord and a trio by
Miss Bertha Bucklen, Mrs. Lillian Lit
tleha1es and Mrs. Blanche Faville on
violin cello and piano. The topic of the
day. was Some Recent Events in
Thelr Relation to Women" introduced
by Ada MetcGlf Brown, who touched
upon international arbitration. The
speaker scOrnfully quoted the men S
version of the affair:
If we are to have no more battles
how shall we preserve our manhood
and what will become of our surplus
population?' While the subject of child
training is occupying all minds, while
the mothers conference is being held in
Washington, and mothers are cIasping
newborn babes TO their breasts, men
are asking what will become of the
surplus pOpulation.'
Jennie de Ia NJ. Lozier, NJ. D., spoke
of women the world over in recent
events, notably the little queen of Rol-
land, who declares she will marry for
love and not be sold for statecraft.

Dr. Williams Pink Pills are not looked
upon as a patent medicine, but rather as q
prescription. An analysis of their properties
shows that they contain, in a condensed form,
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial pa
ralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects
of Ia grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sa1low complexions and the tired feeling re-
sulting from nervous prostratiOn, all diseases
resulting from vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scrof1la chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females such as impressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They build up the
blood and restore the glow of health to pale
and sallow cheeks. They are for sale by all
druggists or may be had by mail from DIR.

yesterday from Republican headquart-

reads as follows:

Dear Sir: I propose to be in Wash

it is my intention to file all testimonials

if you desire to submit your claims for
my Endorsement, that you send me be-
fore the goth instant, if you have not al
ready done so, your testimonials, so
that I can, as the organ of our party,
perform my duty intelligently in the
matter of recommends lions. I would
be glad If you would bring this circular
to the attention of others who may not

HE WORE OYERALLS.
Therefore Citizen of New York was
Not Admitted to the Art Museum.

Therefore Citizen of New York was
Not Admitted to the Art Museum.
Kew York, Feb. 6.-The fact that
workman employed about the
grounds of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art strolled into that institution the
other day clad in a pair of overalls and
was refused admittance by the custo-
dian, has created no end of comment in
public circles, and especially among
those who, without knowing the cir
cumstanceS of the case in question, are
inclined to deprecate what they cali the
over righteousness of the museum au-
thoritieS in excluding a man because he
is poorly clad.
When a reporter called at the muse
UNI today he was referred to the cura-
tor, DR.. VIM. r. Arnold. DR.. Arnold,
when asked concerning the incident,
said that he knew nothing of the partic-
ulars of the case more than that he had
been informed of its occurrence. Contin-
uing, DR.. Arnold said:
There is no law, written, or unwrit-
ten, of this institution, which discrim-
mates against any class of society. The
poor man is as welcome to the privi-
legeS of the museum the multi-mil-
honaire. There is, however, this re-
striction, which, though it is not in writ
ing, has by custom and precedent be-
come one of our rules, namely, to admit
no person unless he be properly dressed.
There is a distinction between a well
dressed man and man poorly dressed
and do not consider that a man is
properly dressed who is coatless and is
CARRIED i'll Overalls.
"A man thus clad would not be adj
mitted to other public places, and, why,
therefore, should he be admitted to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art? I be-
lieve the custodian acted rightly in re-
fusing to allow this man to enter the
museum, and 1 believe the authorities
of the museum will sustain him should
any controversy arise.

NEW LIGHT IN THE SKY.
Citizens of Montreal are Puzzled Over
Wonderful Star.

Montreal, Que, Feb. Ga strange
star or light in the heavens has been
puzzling the people OF Montreal for a
week. The light has been making its
appearance shortly after o'clock in
the evening, and it disappears about z,
sometimes a little later.
However, it is now claimed that the
light comes from a balloon that is sent
up to- a distance of eight miles over
Syracuse, and that the ascension is
made in connection with the military
Service. What the reason is for this
balloon ascension and light and all the
rest of it as yet is a matter of conject-
ure. But the light is there, and that
1t can be distinguished at such a great
distance is remarkable. James Corner
of the Grand Trunk offices has been
watching this light for some time. His
attention was called to it by telegra-
piers in Albany, n. Y The Albany
people said the military authorities were
experimenting on lights at great
height for signaling.
