another of the ancients, stole fifty-twO
bases, and WaldrOn, another Milwaukee
player, came next with fifty. Hog
riever, Of Indianapolis, stole forty-six,
and Geier, of ST. Paul, and Weaver, of
Milwaukee, each thirty Eight. The

Knoll, of Columbus, who stole thirty-five
bases in lightweight games.
Cook, Of Minneapolis, got the BOBBY
prize as an artist at batting where the
ball was not. He made two base hits

FOREST FIRES RARE.
Annual Report Of the Superinten-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-The annual
report Of the superintendent of the
Yellowstone National park shows the
aggregate number Of tourists visiting
the park from the opening of the sea
son, June 1, to Sept. 80 last was 1884,
an Increase over the previous year.
Forest fires have been exceptionally
rare this year, due both to patroll:cg
and care of camping parties and otn-

the forest reserve on the south part
of the park.
The report says the fifty buffalo yet
there, about the only wild herd in the
United States, are not increasing, due
to too much inbreeding; moose, elk,
deer and antelope are plentiful and
increasing, and bears are too plentiful.

THE MODERN CAMP.
Graphic Picture Of Maine Hunting Life at
the Lowell Arms & Cycle Co.

! One of Worcesters enterprising sport
| ing goods houses, The Lowell Arms &
| Cycle Company, Sl5 Main street, now
| has on exhibition a unique and enter
tanning representation of a complete
hunting camp In the Maine woods with
all the modern equipments of the up-to-
date hunter.
The scene represents hunters camp
pitched in a sheltered spot in the depths
of the northern forests of Maine, sur
| rounded by the pines, birches and oak
trees, which are already touched with
the autumnal colors. The tent is one of
| the improved waterproof shelter tents
so much appreciated by sportsmen; it
has a front-ffap which, when raised,
forms a shelter and discloses the in
teriorsof the tent, fitted with its folding
camp bed, sleeping bag, cooking out
fit, etc.
Directly in front of the open end of
the tent is seen the campfire burning
brightly under the simmering pot,
which is supported by the convention
al erotched sticks and crosspieces. The
fire casts its glow on the pots, pans and
Kettles of the camp cook, which uten-
sils are now made of hardened alumni
mum, very light, and having all the
strength and serviceable qualities of
iron or steel, it being possible to pack
the complete outfit in very small
carrying case for transportation.
Nearby are seen the skins and heads
of the game brought to camp by the
hunters; the enormous head and antlers
of the elk, and the slim and graceful
outlines of the Virginia deer; while far
away through the trees is the stealthy
cougar, known to these northern woods,
cautiously upon it's prey.
These heads and animals were mounted
by the well known taXidermist, Mr.. C.
K. Reed of Worcester.
Around the camp and upon the
ground in front are the knives, axes,
paddles, hunting coats, belts, etc, be-
longing to the hunters, their trusty
dogs keeping guard over them and gaz-
ing contemplatively into the fire,
doubtless thinking of the exciting
moose hunts they have participated in.
In fact, in this representation of
camp life in the northern woods hardly
a detail has been omitted, and it will
we'll repay any lover of woods to visit
the store of the Lovelh Arms & Cycle
Co. and see for himself the modern con-
veniences and luXuries now provided for

A further and concluding hearing was

the allowance of the will of the late
Mrs. Emily H. c. Rowe of Westboro,
who bequeathed her property, amount
ing to $4,000, to Bates College.
The Will was contested by nieces and
nephews on the ground of undue indu-
ence and incapacity. After the final
arguments had been made, Judge
Forbes said that he felt there had been
undue influence, and advised the par
ties that it would be better to come to
an agreement in the matter than car
ry the case to the supreme court.
A conference was subsequently held
between the counsel upon the matter
of agreement. c. G.. Brown of Boston
appears for the win; Wood & Wood for
the contestants.

Painters and Decorators Union.
An investigation will soon be made
by the proper committee of the Paint
ers' and Decorators Union into certain
charges which are being preferred
against men alleged to be working in
shops that are supposed to be nonninally

legged that these places employ men
who are not in the union, and there is
q likelihood that a hot time will be in
order if some definite settlement is not
made before long.
First, an effort will be made to get
these offending laborers into the union,
and if this fails, the shops employing
them viii be asked to stop the practice
If both schemes fail, the regular course
pursued by labor organizations win be
the last resort, and it will be no small
probability that these houses are de-
clared unfair" The union members re-
fuse to talk at any length in regard to
the details of the case, and they say that
the matter win be handled with the

who are, is very friendly from a per-
