CORBETT'S NEW PLAY,
 "A KENTUCKY HERO"
Written by a California Friend of the Ex-Champion and Praised by
 the Critics.

NEW YORK, June 19.-"A Kentucky Hero is the title of military comedy drama which may be produced by James J. Corbett next season, says a local pa per. The piece is by Robert Jefferson Fer ral, son of ex-Judge Ferral of California, an old-time friend of the former cham pion Corbett has just finished careful reading of the play and thinks very well of it.
 Before considering the play I read some criticisms on it, written by the wise of theater-goers on the coast" said Cor bett Most of the opinions were partic- ularly strong in favor of the piece, and 1 don't think undue praise has been be- slowed. If MT. Brady likes the piece as well as do we shall certainly produce it next season. I am inclined to think, how ever, that we might select a better title for it.'
 The play is on the order of '"The Heart of Maryland"

Moralists and philosophers have done
their best, when they have themselves

"old age" I" but they do not deceive even

"are foxes who have lost their tails "
They have done tho same thing with
poverty, and with the same i'll success
1t has had no exhilarating effect upon

have written in praise Of old age are

"Do not let us discourage one another. 3"
They are in for it, and thoy mako the

They fancy they are paying u compli-

There are many old men who say,
and quite truthfully, that they would
not be young again if they could, but
what they mean is not, Of course, that
they would not exchange weakness fui

he went into the Arcade restaurant and
found some fellows playing cards. They
invited him to take drink of bitters,

seized him and attempted to throw him
out. 1t was while this attempt was be-
ing made that the alleged offense was

Hunt In the Teton Mountains.

Cheyenne, Wyo.,, March 29.-Tom
Andrews. who has been hunting and
trapping during the past winter in the
Teton mountains, has from Oct. l, 1897,
to March l, 1885, poisoned, trapped or
shot 2l1 big gray and SO black timber
wolves, or a total of 300. Mr.. Andrews
during the same period, slew II noun
tain limos, II bear. seven wolverines,
10S deer, his winter spoils of pelts, furs,
etc, requiring a string of Is burros to
transport them TO the railroad. Mr..
Andrews, owing to a method of cap
turing wolves original with himself
and unique in character, has earned
the mountain sobriquet of Snow Pit
Tom. Selecting a locality where the
mountain SHOWS are deeply drifted and
covered with frozen crust, the hunter
sinks well-like pits in the snow, spreads
over them a thin layer of brush and
snow, and then drags between and
across the pits a blood trail from
freshly slain animals. The result is
sure and satisfactory. The ravenous
wolves following fast and faster upon
the blood scent, crash through the light
brush OF the pit covering, and, as the
pits are many feet in depth, find them
selves caDtives. The animals do not
attempt escape by digging, but sit on
their launches watching the light at
the opening of the pit until a bullet
from the hunters rifle puts an end
10 their hopeless vigil.
