The Shooting of Mr.. Dumond Points to the
Danger of n Buff Coat-A Wonderful Doe.

From TIE Boston Daily Globe.
BANGOR. Me-. Oct. 21.-There was q most
interesting discussion here this week among
the sportsmen and those interested in the fish
and game interests in regard tho best way to
approach the Legislature at its next session
with an idea In view Of having a law passed
which will punish the man who mistakes
another in the woods for a deer and shoots
him: The discussion was brought about by
the killing OF Representative John b. Dumond
OF Boston, near Grindstone, which case 10 one
OF the saddest that ever happened in Maine.
Some propose that law be passed prohibit
Ing the wearing OF any garment that may be
mistaken tor a deer. The ordinary shooting
jacket is Of bun -colored material. and many
sportSmen claim that it Is the worst thing i'm
aRlnable for a man to wear In the woods.
The most remarkable specimen Of a deer
ever Killed IN Maine was shot one day this
doe; In full milk. with, two branched, horns
each foot long. The oldest guides and hunt
ers say that there is only one case on record in
this State Of doe with horns. and that anima al.
killed many years ago. had only stumps just
showing through the sEin.
Nearly 800 deer arrived here during the frat
two weeks. OF the hunting season. and tho
record for the season is far In advance OF anyin
the history OF hunting in Maine.

Three New Battleships.
WARRINGTON. Oct. 24.-The Naval Board OF
Construction decided to-day. by q vote OF to
l. to use superm posed or dou BILE cd tur-
rets on the three new batteships. Each turrst
will carry two 12-inch guns and two S-inch
guns
1t was the wish Of a majority Of the Board
not to decide this question until after test
had been made Of the turrets Of the same type
on the battlcshlp Kearsarge. and the Secretaryot
the Navy was asked to arrange with the build
ere o. the kearsarge. tho Newport News Ship
Building and Dry Dock Company. to have the
turrets put In work ing order without delay so
that test might be made without waiting
until the vessel had been turned over to the
Government. The Secretary declined to grant
this request and as a result the Board decided
OF the new battIeships.
The superimposed turret has never been
tested Should those on the Kearsarge and her
sister ship. the Kentucky. fail to give satisfac-
tory results. 1T will not then be too late to
change the designs Of the new battleships so
as to provide for the ordinary on deck turrets,

violently rung, making all but the dead
