SHOOTING lin SCOTLAND.
An Immense Sum Expended Annual
2 SIX ~ In This Form of Sport. II

AS to the sums spent on shooting
in Scotland, SO large is the total that
it is a difficult matter to arrive even
at an approximate estimate. nPerth-
shire alone there are 400 shootingss of
which about four7ffthsi are let to- ten
ants and bring in about f150, O00} a
year, or an average Of f4O0 a. year,
which seems about fair estimate If
it be borne in mind that this Is an ,ex-
pensive country and that 80 Of it's best
shootings bring f35,OO0, or an average
land there are about 1000 shootings,
and as each Of them must at least en-
'ploy one keeper and one gillie during
the shooting season some estimate
may be formed Of the money expended
in wages and. the number Of people
employed. -eff;,,,s4 800, s,e} !.
II In the deer forests and on the larger
shootings there viii often be from four
to six men permanently engaged and
from six to, eight others working for
the. shooting season only. In a wen
known forest where l once spent many
! pleasant days there were three for
esters, three gillies and three pony men
out each day. On the grouse ground
there were three keepers, with three
underkeepers, a kennel man and two
carriers going to and from the nearest
railway station, total Of IS men and
five horses, not to mention the ponies
kept for riding into the forest and
those kept to carry grouse painters.

Two widow. and a Sailed Mine.

} a good story is, told sabouthow two
sprospectors had sailed d mine in the
sGalena district IN order to rob cou-
sple of rich widows, which resulted in
the aforesaid widows becoming much
Weather.
The prospectors had spent their last
cent in digging hole In the ground to
the extent Of 60 feet without striking
anything but yellow clay But one Of
them knew Of two rich widows who
were just spelling to have their money
sunk in mine. Accordingly they
spent two nights in esatting their mine
They hadn't sufficient money to buy
some paying dirt, but they stole this
from d neighboring mine and hauled a
lot Of it over to dump into their mine.
When several tons Of this paying Dirt
had accumulated in the bottom of their
-mine,5 the widows were sent for, and
while one was talking about the in
creasing value of the district the other
was dumping out all kinds of lead and
zinc ore before their astonished eyes.
6 The widows bought half interest in
that hole in the ground for 81 800. - The
next day there was no more ore in the
shaft, and the fellows declared they
would dig no longer. Then the widows
bought the other half interest at a total
cost Of $4,000, and the men liked out
for Missouri, laughing in their sleeves.
But the women, blindly believing that
there must be more ore, continued
with the digging and at n ,depth Of fen
additional feet struck the richest, vein
Of the whole belt, realizing $4,000 IN
less than one years time -n1iz 4 us

CAMP RUHLEN PAU.
The Flintshire Will Take Away all
Animals Yet Remaining.

Camp Ruhlen, which for more than a
year past has been a depot for animals
belonging to the United States army,
is about to be abandoned. The trans
port Flintshire is expected to arrive in
the harbor shortly, and will carry on to
Manila the ninety-odd head of horses
and mules which have been recuperat-
ing in the corrals. This number repre-
sents all that are left of the horses that
have been left at Camp Ruhlen, for va
mous reasons by the army animal trans
ports.
A short time ago a sale of condemned
animals unfit for service was made to
Honolulu parties. The rest were con-
sidered in good enough condition to be
kept on hand for emergencies and stalls
have been reserved on the Flintshire
for hundred head. Camp Ruhlen was
named after Colonel Ruhlen, the ener-
getic and popular chief of the quarter
masters department OF the United
States Army In Honolulu, and in it's cor
rails almost all the horses and mules of
almost every transport carrying and
mails to Manila have rested before con-
tinuing their long journey.

Body OF Chief Justice in
the Grave.
HAWAII MOURNS HIS LOSS
Last Sad Ceremony at the Family
Residence Yesterday After
noon Largely Attended,

Amid banks of beautiful flowers-to-
kens OF respect for him who had passed
and its casket encased In the folds
o. hawaiian flag, the body OF the late
Chief Justice Albert f. Juud lay in state
yesterday afternoon at the family resi-
dence. All day long a continuous stream
of friends came, bearing gifts of flow
ers. Large numbers of Hawaiians paid
their tribute to the dead, for among
them the late jurist was looked upon
as few white men have been.
The floral tributes filed the residence
and about the casket they were heaped
prolusely. The casket rested between
the drawing room and the dining room.
The services were held at o'clock,
the Rev. William NJ Kincaid officiating.
Old-time friends were given seats of
honor in the drawing room, and the
family occupied the dining room. The
native custom of waving the kahili
over the body of the deceased was OBJ
served during the services, lending to
the scene "reminiscences of the olden
days. Henry Smith who held high
place in Mr.. Judds esteem, took on
himself this last service.
AT the entrance to the residence stood
two police oincers, posted there by the
Marshal, while near the waiting hearse
were eight others who acted as honor
airy pall-bearers. squad of twenty
police under command of Captain Par
kerr together with the Government
Band. under the leadership of Captain
Berger, stood in the street, ready to
lead the funeral cortege.
The services were begun by the sing
ing of an old and favorite hymn of the
late Chief Justice, rendered by special
choir consisting of Mrs. Annis Mon
tague Turner, Mrs. j. II. Patty, Mrs. E.
C. Damon, Mrs. w. w. Hall, II. F..
Wichman, CAas. NJ Cooke and Mr.
Yarndle.. Professor ingalls, presided
at the organ.
At the request of the family, Mr..
Kincaid then read a portion of the
Scripture, which he described as the IA
vorite passage of the deceased: The
heavens declare the glory of God, and
the armament showeth his handiwork."
After finishing this prayer full of
tributes to the dead was given.
"In his nobility and mapliness," said
Mr.. Kincaid, 'he was an example of
modesty. We know that in times of
great eXigencies he has been able to dis
charge his duties to his fellow men, to
his country and to his God, perfectly, |
and that he maintained a character
spotless, and that he has left memory /
true in the sight of man. We beIeve
tLat in him the young men of this COM
munity have an example to show to
them that one can be true and pure and
good, and yet hold public office. That
the purest, noblest and brightest man
hood Is not incompatible with public
service"
At the conclusion of the prayer the
choir rendered an anthem, during
which the six sons of the deceased now
at home bore the casket to the hearse.
Inc sight of the sons bearing the dead
father to his last resting place caused
the tears to well up in many sympa-
thetic eyes. Rarely has father been
so carefully and lovingly borne upon
his las. journey on earth.
The procession moved slowly out into
