TIRGINII'S .SICRED FOX.

| had never lived in a scc:ion Of the
country where fox-hunting was one Of
the sports, and had always looked up
on the fox as member of the ''yar-
mint" tribe, to he summarily disposed
Of by load Of shot whenever the or
portunity offered. This fact caused
ne to be guilty Of breach of sport
ing etiquette that all but lost me the
good opinion of my hostess on one
occasion. We were strolling through
the woods one afternoon, for the air
and exercise, and l had carried a gun,
thinking it possible that Jeff Davis,
the dog that had an ancestor with a
nose, might tree us squirrel, when in
the distance we heard pack Of hounds
in full Cry.
They were coming in cur general
direction, and my companion said they
were running fox. | suggested hat
we walk out toward an opening in the
woods in the direction they seemed
heading. To this she agreed, and
harried along with much more en-
thusiastic haste than the occasion SEEM
ed to HE to warrant. Arrived at d
good point Of observation, | slipped
out the light shells from my gun, re-
placing them by some loaded with
heavy shot that I happened to have,
remarking that l would proceed to
stop "sly reynard'' if he came our
way.
She looked at me in surprise Tor a
moment, and then said: "You don't
mean you would shoot the fox, should
he come this way do YOU"
"Why, certainly l replied.
Looking at ne a moment, as though
doubling either my seriousness, or sani-
ty, she turned back toward the woods,
requesting NE to follow. Somewhat
puzzled, but desiring to be accommo
dating, followed obediently, trust
ing that an explanation wonld soon
be forthcoming.
We had walked some distance in ST.
lence, when she turned and asked:
You did not really intend to shoot
that fox, if the dogs had run it by us,
did YOU
Having made It the practice Of my
life never lie to lady.-when sure of
not being being believed,-I answer
ed:
Il most assuredly did, unless the
brute ran so near that he could be Kill
led with a club, and thus save Il car
fridge
"Well,' said she ''you are my
guest, and therefore feel in Il measure
responsible for your personal safety:
and now beg Of you, as Il special
favor, that you never indulge your in
clination to shoot fox that is being
run in this country; for as certain as
you do, he hunters will set their dogs
on You and ride you down with as
little conjunction as they would the
most desperate criminal. They would
certainly do it, | pledge you my
word"
She was perfectly serious, ard after
ward led me to believe that she was
perfectly correct in her ideas as to the
probable fate that would befall the
man who SO outraged tie prophecies
of fox-hunting code.

THE C[TY'S STREETS
Proposals Opened at the Dis
trict Building.

Large saving TO BE Made I'm Hand
Work COntracts-Other
Reductions.

At noon today bids were opened in the
District Building for sweeping the streets.
avenues. and alleys of the city for the
three fiscal years beginning July next.
A large number OF bids were opened. and
the amounts sought by the various contrac-
tors was so much lower than they have
been in the past that there will be con-
siderable saving OF money in the future.
This is due to the strong stand taken by
Warner StutIer, Superintendent of Street
Cleaning, who demonstrated that the
sweeping could be done by the District by
hand at 90 cents per thousand square yards.
Two years ago Congress permitted him
10 experiment with the hand-cleaning sys-
TEN. and the departure was such n sue
cess that the last Congressional appropria
tion bill for the District of Columbia pro-
vided that if the work could not be procur-
ed at % cents per thousand square yards
il should be done by the District.
Consequently, when bids were opened to-
day. a remarkable falling off in the prices
asked for the work was noticeable. On
hand sweeping the District will save at
least 10 cents per thousand square .!ards;
6 cents on the machine sweeping work and
silsut TeuuctloN, p1oDdbiy d ceut. vi
the work of cleaning improved alleys. The
total amount of the sweeping appropria-
ton being $145,000, il will be seen that
the District will save by reason OF the re-
ductions of the contractors in their bids
for the work.
The bids opened today were as follows:
Sweeping improved streets and avenues

first year 21 IA cents; second year. q Ia

Pacific Mail was strong and was bought
by Its friends in considerable blocks.

The general feeling regarding the Federal
Steels, Manhattan. and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit was bullish this morning, but is
was not the opinion of the Street that they
were sure to be taken up Immediately.
1t seems to have been decided by the
leaders OF the market last week that these
stocks were moving entirely too fast, and
it is certain that Flower and the other
powerful people did little to stem the SELL
ing Of the stocks OH Friday until it had
gone its course. 1t may be considered
best for the interests of the entire mar
ket to keep these stocks in the background
as far as possible for a day or two. There
can be no doubt, however. that when they
are started upward again their movement
will be rapid. An especial favorite with
fairly conservative people is Federal Steel
preferred, which had a decline greater in
proportion than any other stock in the list.
despite the fact that. it is paying per
cent, and seems assured OF this rate for
several years to come. Manhattan also is
believed to be a buy-with good margins.
The grangers were inactive this morn
ing. but the talk Of these stocks in the
Street is all bullish. 1t is believed that
the crop news from this time is almost sure
to be encouraging.
