Ceer Slowly Coming.

Bangor, Me. oct. 11.-Deer continue
to come slowly out OF the woods over
the Maine Central, B. & A, and Wash
ington County Railroads. Of course
there are no means Of knowing how
many animals are killed and eaten or
merely killed for fun in the deep woods
but the number that has been brought
out this season is certainly smaller
than for several years.
The number Of sportsmen who have
gone into the woods this year Is about
the average. 50 either they must he
poorer shots than the general run OF
sportsmen. or else the deer must be
scarce. According TO the reports that
have been coming in all summer and
fall. this can hardly be the case.

B:yan's Inilammatory Appeals 10 Passions q
the People.

New York. oct. 1.-THE State AS
ISOLATION of the Republican editors met
tOdayA in the Republican club, to dis
cuss the best means OF presenting Re
publican principles and arguments to
the people OF this state and the county
at large. The session was opened by
an address Of welcome by Senator
Chauncey NJ. Depew, the president Of
the club.
Senator Depew, after welcoming the
guests of the club and thanking the
editors for their unanimous support of
his candidacy for the United States
Senate. complicated them on the
work done by them during the present
campaign. He said that the shifty
conditions Of the "Bryanistic canvass"
are illustrated by the speeches of the
candidate. who has got far away from
the Kansas City platform. ana fears
to discuss that feature Of the conven-
tion. He assaled the positions taken
by Mr.. Bryan as "Iniiammatory ap-
pcals TO the passions Of the people and
wild efforts to array the different Sec
tons of the community against each
other in vrnomous hostility" Mr.. Bry-
ans program OF destruction. he said.
presents no plan of reconstruction.
Senator Depew predicted certain Re-
publican success saying that his per
| sonal observation showed him that the
flood tide had commenced to run in all
parts Of the country during the past
| 10 days
4 have met" he said, hundreds of
Democrats who have said: We nope

Gus disaster To our business and our

The trend. therefore Of opinion, to-

| ley's term is extended for another four
years
We have no certainty ar either if
Mr.. Bryan is elected and therefore We
will not take that chance
He gave a rapid account Of his re-
| cent tour in the West. in which he
| said h. found that the element of IN
| certainty among the Republicans had
| been entirely eliminated. His only fear
WAS that the party was over-co confident
and he urged the editors To warn their
readers OF this condition.

Military Portraits.
1t is sign Of the times that even the
picture galleries find it necessary to as

commanders in South III africa Is. One was a

German artist. The Boer COM
mander is shown 1in a. dark blue uni
form, seated, with his sword across his
knee. On his strong features there is an
expression of kindiness which conveys the
impression that the sitter, though a mas
terful man, is not an ungenerous one-an
impression which is supported by the re-
ports which have come through from South
Africa of his conduct of the campaign. A
capital portrait of Major General the Hon.
Neville Lyttelton, in the uniform of the
Rifle Brigade. completes the gallery of war
celebrities. Apart from the works there is
a good deal in the rooms to inSpect and
admire. All the leading British portrait
painters of the day are represented though
occasionally by works Of slight Importance
There is also some notable foreign work,
including slngularly effective presentment
of an old Jewess by NJ. Legros, and a

the tan and sawdust and murk of the old
institution there is the gilt and glitter of a
gorgeously decorated palace of delight, ar
ranged on the most approved modern prin-
ciples as regards seating, ventilation and
warming.
The entertainment is a compound of the
music hall and the circus. with features of
much novelty added. On the stage fam

through singularly clever performance,
balancing themselves under apparently i'm
possible conditions and in positions upon
which 1t would seem cat would not MAIN

episode in which a troupe Of dogs and cats
beautifully trained, go through a series of
erolutions, acting with almost human in
telligence.
Then the scene changes to the ring in the
center of the auditorium, where a number
Of equestrian feats are performed by eN-
pert horsemen and horsewomen. After

from the depths, and the ring is converted
into huge cage. in which Herr Julius

bow the ring is lowered from view, and a
