ENJOY THE STRIKE,

Secretary Rosenberg of the striking
cloakmnkers 1as5 an interesting sideight
on the mndus yivendi of a we'll -orRanized
East side strike when he said The face
is that there is not enough variety in the
strike fer the women. They want to
have meetings Of their own where they
can organize dances and otherwise enjoy
themselves. Undoubtedly these strikes
result in hnrdships for some of the strik-
ers, but IL is fact, vouchcd for by the
reporters who write the labor troubles
that large proportion of the strikers
look forward 20 the voluntary stopping of
work with pleasant anticipation. a strike
gives tho amateur orators-and every
other man among the strikers Hspires 20
he an orator-an opportunity 10 make
speeches Meetings are held about every
hour. Frequently when women take part
in the strike dances are held An agent
for several down town East side tenements
said Yesterday;
THE landlords bear the burden of the
EXPENSE OF most of these strikes. When |
ask the people in my houses for their rent
thty invariably reply: Why Of course
we cant pay you now. We are on strike.
In their opinion the fact thnt they are on
strike makes 10 unnecessary for them 10

GAME PLENTY.
The Cunning Season Now
at Hand.
SpCrtSmen Will Find Plenty
of Fun on the Cape.
Birds OF All Kinds, Rabbits and
Foxes Said to Be Abundant.

The gaming season is at hand, and,
down on the Cape, tho old bush gunners
report that the amount of small game in
the old colony has generally increased.
The year 1895 according to the sportsmen
of this section, was an exceptional bird
year; and in 1896 there was game enough
for oil who possessed a dog and gun and
liked to hunt little for recreation.
1t is impossible to estimate the plenti-
fulness of birds this year with any degree
of certainty until the season las opened,
and even until the middle OF October.
The covers appear TO abound with quail
and rabbits and in some sections part
ridges can be- readily found. lt may.
however be safely said that there will be
foxes and rabbits enough for oil the
hunters In Plymouth county.
Ihe underwood in the Immediate vi
cinity of Plymouth town, including the
towns of Duxbury. Kingston, Carver,
Halifax and Plympton, is well populated
with quail. "stump tails, " ana foxes.
In Green Harbor, Brant Rock and
other Marshfield districts. partridges are
reported very scarce quail, fair in all
PARTS of the town. and coot shooting good
at Brant Rock.
In Abington, the Hansons and Hanover.
cartridges are not plenty, but the mum Der
of quail is larger than usua.. MonuoCck
seem To he plenty in Hanover. Rabbits
are numerous, although the hares hav
been cleaned out in many swamps, the
Great Cedar swamp being about the only
sure place.
In Pembroke and it's vicinity quail
and partridge are scarce. Grounds are
posted forbidding shooting. Foxes are
plenty.
In Lakeville and outlying towns the
prospect for quail anu partridge is good,
h lt il is ain ost too early 10 tell with any
certainty. The best hunting sections are
around the lakes, south and southwest of
Lakeville The country has been shot
over hard for the past dozen years, and
contains too many dog traiDers for good
shooting.
Sportsmen in Acushnet and other
places immediately north OF New Bed
ford write that the cunning prospects are
look ing finely. Think it will be- the
banner seas,p of late years, Z" SAYS one
enthusiast ''Young troods of quail are
plenty. More woodcock can be found
here than ever before. Partridge and
rabbit are showing up well. "
All along the Cape proper gunners
generally report a deartb Of small game.
In Harwioh the eunners fear that
very heavy rain in July may have killed
many young birds, therefore they think
quail and partridge will not he over
abundant although, of course there will
be in ceI tain sections. There appears To
be as many birds in Harwich as in any
town on the Cape, but the cover is bad
for good shooting. Orleans is much more
oren and quail and partridge are ALWAYS
to bo found there. Hurwicb, Brewster,
Orleans, Eastman and neighboring towns
have q fair supply OF rabbits.
