OPENING OF SHOOTING SEASON.

Numbers of Gunners Will Try the
Covers Tomorrow.
The almost general opening Of the quail
and rabbit season tomorrow in the District
of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia and
the indications that there is a plentiful
supply of both In fields and coverts will
be the occasion for a wide Indulgence on
the first day in the sport afforded by dogs
and guns.
With the exception of Thanksgiving day,
which is utilized to a greater extent for
cunning purposes than any other day in
the fall season, there will probably be the
largest exodus of hunters than at any other
time tomorrow by those who can only de-
vote a brief period to the sport. Many
sportsmen left today on trains for points
in Virginia and Maryland, and a greater
number will depart this evening and to-
night. Reports from these season-opening
pioneers will be awaited with much inter-
est by the stay-at-homes, because the
future destination of the latter when they
are on shooting bent will be largely deter
mined from actual sport enjoyed by those
who first go out.
The supply of wild turkeys in Virginia is
said to be unusually large. Messrs. James
f. Oyster, H. Clay Browning and Edward
Ford who went this morning to Rapidan,
in Orange county, after turkeys, but will
try quail also during their trip, have
taken some first-class dogs with them for
this purpose.

fearless of the camera, and they place de-
gree of trust in one that was as unusual a.
it was delightful. Being anxious to secure
photographs of the young, I paid frequent
visits to the nest, and what a wonderfully
concealed nest 1t was, tucked away in a
small depression and hidden by the roots
OF an oak sapling. It would forever have
remained undiscovered by me had 1 not, by
lucky chance, observed one of the parent
birds visiting 1t. Only at first did the own
ers object to my intruding, and by various
methods did they try to coax me away from
their home. First one. and then the other,
would feign broken wings, and half roll
ing, half scrambling, they would make
their way down the steep hillside, in the
hope of Turing me away. Then, finding that
I was not to be taken in even by such an
artful device, they endeavored to accom-
plish their object by scolding at me. In less
than two hours they quieted down and sim
ply looked on in silence. The next time
visited the nest they made no objection,
and imagined they recognized me, and
themselves or to their young, for these had
Matched since my last visit. Day by day l
came to watch the little fellows, and they
grew rapidly, as all young birds do. Finally
they were ready to make their first venture
into the great world that should no acct
dent befall them, was to be their feeding
ground for many years to come. AS I look
ed into the nest the family Of fedgelings
scrambled out, as though they had been
scattered by some invisible hand SO nearly
simultaneous was their action, and in less
time than it takes to tell it each little mite
of down and rust-colored feathers was hid
den among the dead, cracking leaves with
which the ground was strewn. Though 1
had tried my best to watch where each bird
concealed itself, 1t was some time before I
collected them ALL preparatory to photo

were greatly excited-birds always are
when their young first leave the nest-and
when they saw the entire brood captured by
one whom they considered friend they
seemed to regret having placed SO much
confidence in me. But only for very short
time did their doubts continue. AS soon as
I placed the youngsters on a suitable perch
they both ceased to utter that lisping note
of anxious protestation, and to show that
they no longer feared me they hoped about
on the camera while was arranging 1t.

paid us a visit and placed very large
order, going, in fact, to the extreme limit
of his credit. He explained its unusual

When Christmastide comes social
functions become a secondary feature.
All interest is centered in the buying
of presents. The Christmas tree cele-
bration will displace the formal recep-
ton, and the dinners will partake OF
the nature of family reunions and in
formality will reign supreme. The
present week and the next will be CIV
en- over entirely to making life pleas
ant for one another-it only comes
once year. The burning of the Yule
log is not common in Hawaii. Neither
does the holly with its red berries ap-
peal to the sentiment of the season
so well in a tropical country as in
the colder climes where sleet and snow
and the biting air make ones cheeks
tingle. Still Christmas in the tropics
is not devoid of its holiday pleasures.
for there is magnificent sea bathing.
and the opportunity to don fashion S
daintiest of summer gowns and spring
hats. To the travellers here on Christ
mas day, accustomed to the rigors OF

James Clayton, the negro smallpox

their grandmother, who were among
those exposed to the case, have develop
ed the disease in an aggravated form.
This was the news brought back from
the scene Of the infection yesterday by
health for Pender county, who has the
cases in charge, n DR.. w. d. McMil-
Ian, Of this city, who, by request Of
DR.. Lucas, accompanied him to Edge
combe Wednesday to investigate the
situation. DIR. Mcmillan in speaking
Of the cases yesterday said that they
are the most aggravated form of the
disease which has yet been discovered
NTH is section, and that two of them
are continent. 1t is very gratifying
and quite creditable for h efficient
management of DR.. Lucas that the dis
ease has been confined to those i'm
mediately associated with the original
patient, who escaped, it will be remem-
bered. from a smallpox quarantine in
Norfolk, and brought the infection to
Edgecombe. During his visit there
yesterday DIR. Lucas abolished all quar-
antines except the one at the house
where the patients are confined.
1t is his opinion now that the dis
ease is under control. However, the
danger is by no means past and it will
require the most careful supervision to
thoroughly forestan an outbreak of the
disease. Judging from DR.. Lucas
course in the matter thus far he will
doubtless continue the master Of the
situation and stamp out the disease
without permitting it to get beyond the
quarantine limit.
