BUCK FEVER.
Two Illustrations of what IA Man

Two liiuStrdtiOus OF w nat a WAN
May Do When He shoots at His
FIRST Deer.
From the New York Sun.
They were Enthusiastically bound for the
North Woods for an outing and, judging
from their talk, had not seen much of
each other since their hunting trip in 81.
This buck ague Is a curious thing"
remarked one of the party. Il can't say
ever suffered much myself from II, but
one of our party two years ago had
touch of it that l guess he'll never get
over. We were stopping at Mixes Cabin
that year, and our guide had taken the
dogs out to start back OF Beaver Mead
ows, so as to drive the deer down to the
lake where we were posted on the differ
ept runways
ut so happened that George Twtchell
was given the stand where New Lake
outlet comes down the mountain and
spreads out over little sand flow. George
had never seen a wild deer. In fact had
never been in the country, and was only
then away from his desk by doctors or
ders. But he fancied he could hit a deer
easy enough with at least one of all those
bullets in his repeater, and we all hoped
he would Wei, after a while the bay
ing of the hounds echoed nearer and near
er, and every one of us felt his pulse
quicken and his nerves tighten as We
watched the woods and prayed In our
iumost hearts that the deer would chose
our runway. Presently all doubt a TO his
location was dspeled by sounds Of splash
ing and some terrible language in a very
excited voice which / recognized as be-
longing 10 George. 1t was evident that
something had happened, and Fastening
over 20 his stand / found that something
had happened. There stood George, rifle
IN hand, excitedly swearing at everything
and loudly declaring that those must have
been blank cartridges, not to have killed
a buck at that short distance. Examina-
ton, however, showed that he had pump
ed the entire magazine empty without
once pulling the trigger. There on the
ground lay the entire ten cartridges, not
one Of which had been fred?'
This reminded the other man of the
time "Ned Barker narrowly escaped
drowning" Said he: I'm "a a party of
us were camping on Sand Lake when Ned
caught sight of a big buck swimming
across the upper end Of the lake Hastily
grabbing his gun, he jumped into boat
and pulled for all he was worth in that
direction. When near the middle of the
lake the deer changed his course, probably
because Of some hounds we then heard
for the first time since seeing the deer
This gave Ned his chance, and, giving
the oars a mighty pull, he stood up, gun
in hand, lust as the deer SWAN past the
bow Of the boat and such q fusillade of
shots as he let fly would do credit to a
eating gun. but the deer kept straight on
and disappeared in the forest. Then our
interested conferred IN Ned, for he had lost
an oar and seemed to be sinking. When
we got out there with the other boat we
found that that fellow in HIS excitement
had fired five Of those bullets through the
bottom OF his boat"

BRITTANIA BRINGS SUIT.

Louisiana Has No Right to Hold Out
the Italian Immigrants.
New Orleans, Oct. Am interesting suit
in view of the prevailing yellow fever
was filed to-day by the French Naviga-
ton Company, which owns the steamship
Brittania.
The Brittania arrived several days ago
at the mouth of the river with 40S Ital-
ian immigrants. Believing that landing of
these strangers in the city might provide
fresh material for the fever and thus Sc
riously endanger public health, the board
of health issued an order holding the ship
at the mouth of the river. The company
sues for relief, saying the ship has a
clean bill of health and that the board
of health is acting by virtue of state
law that is unconstitutional, in view Of
the fact that Congress alone has the right
TO regulate foreign commerce. Damages
are asked of the officers of the board OF
health.
