sportsman, relates this experience with
the Tolleston game-keepers:
Three years ago l was hunting on
the grounds of our club, the Lake
county, with Edward Roehl of Chicago
and a man from Grand Cros sing. With
out knowing it. and while in pursuit
of big flock of ducks, we had strayed
TO the grounds of the Tolleston club.
We fred several shots at the birds,
when we were surprised to see Keeper
Jim Conroy and his partner, William
Cleary, dashing through the water,
hip deep, after us. Roehl knew the
desperate nature of Conroy, and he told
us TO take no chances with him. When
the party had approached within fifty
or hundred feet we turned suddenly
and threw our guns down on them and
told them to throw up their hands or
we would shoot. They did so and we
parleyed for moment, Conroy telling
us that we were on the Tolleston
grounds. Knowing the treacherous ma
ture of Conrov, Roehl told him if he
did not quit coming closer to our party
he would shoot. Conroy laughed and
said it was all right this time, but
babe us never set foot on the preserves
again.
But III get somebody, anyhow, to-
day. said Conroy. That evening he met
a young fellow in a Tolleston saloon
and assaulted him. During the ARRAY
the young man, who was Albert
LOCKER, drew his revolver and killed
both Conrov and Cleary. This hap
pened on the night of the day Conroy
gave chase to US with murderous in
tent
But the aggression is not always on
the side of the game-keepers. Last
Wednesday the game-keeDer of the
Alta Gun club. of Los Angeles, was
murderously assaulted He found
three men shooting on the reservation
and asked them to leave. to which
they replied by abusing him and dar-
ing him to fight. The game-keeper left
them and going to the club house pro-
cured gun and then stalked the men
until they separated in the tules about
a lake. He surprised one of the tres
passers, and getting the drop on him
forced him to drop his weapon and
march ahead Of him towards Santa
Monica. where he intended to lock the
fellow up. A few steps only had been
taken when the game-keeper was felled
to the ground by a club in the hands
Of one of the prisoners companions,
who had stolen UP behind him. The
three men then made off, leaving the
officer in an insensible condition. The
game-keeper finally returned TO con-
seriousness and managed to get back
to the club house.
Pot-hunters are scarcely more an
gels than game-keepers, but the hun
ter will have the sympathy of the pub
lie whenever there is any serious en-
counter, except in special cases. But
are the strifes between game-keepers
and poachers to be transferred from
England to the United States? And
are there to come in their wake ground
game laws?

SIX DETERMINATIONS.

In Utah we are becoming familiar
with the idea that in politics and all
things else women should be given the
same opportunity men are. This idea
does not obtain everywhere, and a re-
markable illustration of prejudice and
discrimination because of sex recently
occurred N Washington.
There is attached to the office of the
adjutant- general of the army a trans
lator of modern languages. Last Sep
TENDER the office became vacant
through the resignation of the trans
lator The position is a difficult one to
fill, but being in the classified service,
the Civil Service commission called a
special examination il October, and
advertised for applicants. They were
informed that they must be liable to
translate into English technical mill
tary works in French, German, Span
ish and italian, to do typewriting in all
of these languages: to do proof read
ing and prepare manuscript for the
press; to be familiar with modern Ii
brary methods and with classification
of books; cataloguing. indexing, etc"
The examination was held, there be-
ing a number of applicants, both men
and women. All the men failed, but
one woman succeeded, though the ex-
animation was much harder than was
stated in the advertisement. Her
name is Miss Maude Halnaker, of
Washington. The examiners were not
satisfied with various TRANSACTIONS
from several languages, but required
her to translate technical military ar
ticles from English into French, Ger
man, Italian and Spanish. The lady
did, and her competency was certified
by the commission. But the adjutant-
general informed the commission that
he wanted a man. and the commission
replied that no competent one could
be found Finally the young lady was
told by the war department authori-
ties that no woman could have the pO-
sition under any circumstances.
There may be good professional rea-
sons for this, but Miss Halnaker Ger
tainly won right to the place by all
the tests known to the law. She has
her intellectual triumph, but she is
robbed of the fruit of her victory. The
case may possibly go to the secretary
of war

GAME PRESERVES TRAGEDIES.

The bloody and regrettable affair be-
tween poachers and game keepers in
the grounds of the Tolleston Gun club,
located in Lake county, Indiana, draws
attention to the fact THAI conditions
are rapidly changing in the United
States. Private game preserves are
rather new in this country, and when
ever there are encounters between
hunters and game-keeDers (the people
are hardly accustomed to calling men
poachers in this country, for there goes
with the word the, idea of poverty and
distress), the sympathy of the people
is with the hunters even though they
be trespassers. The popular idea of
game-keepers, derived very largely, no
doubt, from English novels is that
they are cruel and brutal men, and
are only too anxious to maltreat and
murder poachers. The occurrences at
the Tolleston Gun clubs grounds seem
to confirm the popular idea. In all
such affairs there are two sides. and to
find the happy middle way where truth
lies is a difficult matter No one has
any right to trespass upon another's
ground, but a trespass does not war
rant resort to such measures as are
only employed against the most hard
ened criminals. Game-keepers are only
too prone to do this.

CABINET MAKING.

Conjecture as TO the composition of
President-elect McKinley's cabinet
goes on, the only thing definite that
is known being the fact that Senator
John Sherman will be secretary of
state. That is a very imoortant posi-
ton, so important that many call the
secretary of state the premier" prob
ably because they like the sound of the
word, knowing little or nothing of what
it connotes. but but it will not be the
most important in the next admins
tration. The problems that will con-
front Major Mckinley and that Will
call for the most consideration are of
a domestic nature. Foremost among
these is the currency question. All
who have given the subject any
thought are dissatisfied with the ex-
listing currency system. Those who
favor the gold standard like it no more
than do those who favor free silver.
1t was the issue of the campaign, and
contains more elements of revival and
survival than the tariff or any other
question. Who will be in the treasury
department? is the question that is
that Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, will
be?
1t is not probable that Major Mckin-
ley viii desire to inaugurate any az
gressive or lingo foreign policy, and
Senator Sherman, as secretary of state,
may be relied upon to have no policy
that viii be antagonistic to the presi-
dents: nor is it likely that he will
attempt to sway him to any extent in
foreign matters.
The various other cabinet positions
are al of Importance, and the ADLER
the men who fill them the ADLER the adj
ministration, for each cabinet officer
yields a certain influence on the for
tunes of the administration. Until
che cabinet is selected. it would be
quite useless to speculate as to what
the administration will be like. Should
we venture any opinion on the matter
we should say that Senator Sherman's
selection as secretary of state does not
promise a particularly strong cabinet.
