EXODUS OF QUAIL SHOOTERS.
Well-Knovn Lovers of Sport vii
Seek 1t Southwark.

The usual holiday exodus of sportsmen
who revel In the pleasure to be found IN
the stubhle and coverts where the willy
quail congregate behind a good dog with
a good gun will begin tonight, and its
course, as usual, will be southwark. Mr.
w. w. Rapley, his son. Mr.. Everett Rap
ley; his grandson, Mr.. W. B. Rap.ey, and
the redoubtable Uncle Billy Wagner will
go to Franklin, Va, not far from Ports
mouth, where birds are reported to be
quite plentiful. An interesting feature of
this party's trip will be the opportunity
the Messrs. Rapley will have of ascertain
ing whether Uncle Billy Wagner can hold
his own against Mr.. Coembs famous nim-
rod of Franklin, who has great record in
field shooting, having killed recently eleven
birds straight in the bushes of dense
thicket. In his recent trip in November 10
North Carolina, with Messrs. Lord and
bag Of forty-two quail one afternoon. SO
the issue of the shooting this week will be
looked for with interest.
An incident of the North Carolina trip
of Wagners with the New Workers shows
anew the growing sentiment of sportsmen
in favor of small bore guns for field shoot
ing. Uncle Billy carried twenty-eight
bore gun, while Messrs. Minor and Lord
were equipped with the regulation twelve
bore. Both gentlemen laughed at what
they called Wagners pop-gun, but when
they saw its execution and tried it them
selves, both ordered guns of the same call
Der as soon as they returned to New York.
The old north state will attract most of
the Washingtonisns who are sport bound.
and birds are reported plentiful every
where A recent invitation to the writer
from High Point, N. c., urged the existence
of thirty-six good coveys of quail on
200-acre farm as the ground for acceptance.
All along the coast of North Carolina as
well as in the interior, especially In the
vicinity of Greensboro, good reports of nu-
merous birds are being received.
Rev. DR.. r. H. McKim, rector of Epi-
phany Church, will leave tonight with a
friend who Is also a jealous field sports
man, and in the next few days Messrs Ar
thur Mattipgly, R. A. johnson, James NJ.

Natives Dissatisfied.

lS MUCH dissatisfaction among
the natives, especially among the larger
tribes. The Tagalos, the principal follow
ing of Aguinaldo, and the Mororgs are
now at war, and many battles have al
ready taken place between them The
Morongs have requested the protection of
the Americans, which practically means
that they are siding with US. The Maca-
bebes are another tribe that our troops can
trust, and they are employed as scouts
rendering invaluable service. The large
following of Chinese (Chinos). which re-
ceived maltreatment by the Filipinos, are
also with us, and many are employed by
the quartarmaster department as cooks,
in all, the Americans have as many If not
more friends in the Philippines than has
Aguinaldo, who Is now accused of starving
his men and carrying on the war to fill mis-
own pocket.
"All of the towns are quickly policed as
soon as taken, and every one not living in
the place is obliged to leave. The Filipino
army will soon be thing of the past and
poor things nearly scared to death come
and surrender to us and ask for sympathy.
These deserters are always well treated,
and when asked why they do not STAY with
the insurgents, they invariably reply that
mucha guerra caused them to leave IVA

"After all, with all its horrors, this war is
merciful. The Filipino prisoners are we'll
treated; the wounded are given as good
medical service as our own men get, and
the amigos are given employment and food.
/ can safely say that before many months
the Americans will have established their
supremacy over the entire archipelapo
much to the disappointment of Aguinaldo' 8
American advisers in the United States.''

FIRST IN PEACE AS IN WA.
Admiral seorr. D.~sys T.e.. wiz and
coarsssy.

Admiral George DswsJ's raet. wiz and
coursesy.
Every story that travels across the
Pacific about Admiral Dewey presents
the hero Of Manila In q more attractive
guise and helgatens the interest Of
Americans in their beloved idol. The
Oriental hotel In Manila has long been
the favorite abiding place Of the wives
Of army and navy officers stationed
there. Naturally they have their little.
all-important "set," In their eyes the
cream Of aristocracy. This set has Q
rigid outside; 1t does not include any
woman Of less aristocratic position
than theirs, any woman whose money
Is the result Of her own honorable
labors. There was one OF the latter
class Of women staying at the Oriental
hotel during the months Of the war
excitement, a Miss Thompson. who
was the correspondent Of q syndicate
Of American newspapers. She was q
woman Of ability. She did her work
well and won the respect and esteem Of
everyone who knew her; she was uni
versally liked, except by the ofieers
wives, who could not condescend to
know her. They made their attitude
pronounced; they drew the social Hne.
on whose safe inside they congrat-
ulated themselves upon being. Ad-
miral Dewey undoubtedly has a sense
Of humor as well as many other things
that go to make up capable oficer
and charming man. He evidently
smiled, perhaps In an amused way at
FIRST, then a little grimly and IRON
ically, when It came to his ears that
the wives Of his subordinates had en-
tered into a crushing social ring to
ostracize and prosecute the newspaper
woman. Miss Thompson had an unex-
pected visitor one day. Admiral Dewey
sent up his card. He paid a long call.
He and Miss Thompson found much
that was interesting to talk about In
the enjoyment Of their talk they were
apparently oblivious that the rest Of
the Oriental hotel had gone mad. The
world had quite came TO an end In the
teapot district, with its self-righteous
ideas Of the fitness Of things. The ad-
miral had called on a workingwomani
They were made to appear In the
wrong. Perhaps It Is better to draw
q veil over the subsequent waiiing and
crashing Of teeth, the tears and rage
Of the would-be leaders Of Manila So
ciety. But Dewey was characters
tically relentless. He rubbed In the
lesson he had given. He asked Miss
Thompson II he might lunch with her
the next day. and again the whole
Oriental hotel knew It and was aname.
The woman who had been humiliated
by the pettiness Of petty people was
honored by a great man. And no one
can doubt that behind the Iron COM
mander, with the eye Of an eagle, the
brain of lightning and the win OF steel.
there exists the very tender heart OF
q gentleman Of the old school.
