ADIRONDACK DEER SCARCE.
Danger of determination Unless
Game Laws Are Enforced.

ALBANY. March 4.-"Unless the game
laws are so amended as to prohibit the
| killing Of deer in November the nobiest
game of the Adirondacks is doomed
Cornelius Carter, one of the oldest and
best known guides of the North Woods
| gives this opinion, based on ffty-five
years experience as a guide and sports
man. For eighteen years he has had a
continuous residence of six months In
| each year as caretaker of the Connell
Park, which comprises S266 acres situated
at the head waters of the Oswegatchie
| River, in the heart of the Adirondack
Wilderness.
Carter has presented his views to the
Forest Fish, and Game Committees of
the Senate and Assembly in the hope that
prohibitive laws may be enacted to save
the deer, which he says are constantly
decreasing in numbers. IF there is a
doubter,' says the old guide, ''let him go
with me to the base of the mountains,
where the deer are wont to come down to
the lowlands to feed or for drink There
you Will find trails once thoroughly beat
en-, now old and grass-grown, many of
them not having a footprint to show what
made them. IL he still doubts | will go
with him to the mountain tops and ele-
waited ranges. where bucks are accus-
toned to travel in rutting season during
November What do we find? Very few
signs of deer indeed, whereas but ten
years ago you would have found the
grUdi.J ciit to pieces by footsteps In many
places and the standing timber raked,
blazed. and gouged by their antlers in
fighting. These signs are fast passing
away by the growth of the timber and
he faIii 81
wood. The signs that remain are mere
most of which have been killed by the
severe winters or the rife.
''1n 1852, when | first took possession of
the Connell lands, ii was not uncommon
in the morning to see from camp from
one TO five deer feeding and travelling
about on the plains Nowadays If you
see one during a season you do well. They
are not here. They are dead. It is true
that there are some deer yet. but my
judgment is that there is not more than
one deer now where there were ten TWEEN
ty years ago.
Il am not in favor of law prohibiting
the killing of does as is proposed. The
law now gives man the right to kill two
deer. He has not yarded them where he
can take his rifle and kill them any time
he pleases. 1t may take him one day and
it may take him twenty before his chance
comes. and when it does he is going TO
shoot.
'He is not going around to see If the
animals has horns. If he does the killing
of deer for time. for the does. 1t is a
doe. Do you think anyone will know
that? If it is ever seen or is brought to
camp IL viii come in such a form that
no one can tell its sex. Far better would
it be to enact a law prohibiting the kill
ing of deer for time, for the does would
then be protected and it would make liars
fewer
THE appointment of game protectors
and foresters through favoritism is a bad
practice-a grave error They should be
should be men of honor and integrity
who will not spend half their time at the
inns, cafes, and sporting houses within
their range playing seven-up."

A CHURCH LEADER ACCUSED.
A Warrant Issued for Mrs. Kate Nor
ris. of Charleston. 5. G.

CHARLESTON. S. c.. March pa
warrant was sworn out here yesterday
against Mrs Kate Xena Morris, who
up to November last, was State president
of the Womans Christian Temperance
Union. charging her with obtaining mon
ey under false pretences. The war
rant was issued on the affidavit
of Albert IL Mowry, jr., Secretary of
the Charleston Dry Goods Company.
Mowry alleges that Mrs. Morris called
at his establishment, bought goods to the
extent of $2S presented a check for $40,
and got the balance in cash. The woman
had only IS in the bank and the check was
returned Other dealers appeared at the
same bank with her checks, but failed 10
get them cashed.
Mrs. Morris left Charleston several days
ago with her husband and the papers
have not been served. A local camp of
Woodmen of the World, of which Mrs.
Morris was treasurer, has about $50 in her
keeping, but the Trust Company, her
surety, made good the shortage.
Mrs Morris is highly educated She
came from a prominent family. and was
a leader in church, charity, and temper
ance work Her jealous labors for the
temperance union were, rewarded by her
election as State president. and she was
identified with the best people of the city.
When her first husband died, less than
year ago. she decided to quit the tenn
perance field. Several weeks ago she was
married TO a young man named Morris,
and he left town with her.
The announcement today that the war
rant had been issued created big sensa-

DARING TRIP BY BALLOON.
French Aeropnuts Plan to Cross the
Mediterranean

PARIS. March 2i.-M. de La Vaulx, a
noted French aeronaCt, intends to ,goss
the Mediterranean in a balloon within
the next few weeks. Tie start will be
made from Toulon. ThG balloon, which
is now building, will be spherical. of silk,
and will contain three thousand cubic
metres of hydrogen. peculiar ventila-
tor will enable it to retain it's original
form, no matter what the weather condi-
tions may be.
There will be four men in the balloon
two aeronauts and two French naval Off
GERS of whom one will be Lieutenant
Gently, director of the naval aerostatic
park at Toulon. During the trip he and
his colleague will reconnoitre the coasts
and take meteorological observations. The
two aeronauts viii do nothing but manage
the balloon. seeing to ii that it maintains
its equilibrium and goes In the desired di-
rection.
Carrier pigeons from various countries
will be released at intervals. A complete
set of wireless telegraph instruments will
also be taken.
Various experiments will be tried during
the trip. OF these the most imuortanf
are those which viii be made with the oh
ject OF establishing direct line of COM
munication between France and the
coast of Africa by means Of aerial cur
rents. Much time will also be spent I'm
studying the various ways in which a
free balloon can render service to a naval
squadron in time of war. Many purely
scientific experiments are also to be tried
and it is claimed that for this reason
alone n. de la Vaulx's project is entirely
justified

OVERCOME BY GAS FUMES.
Miss Kate Lee Narrowly Escapes Be-
ing AsphyNinted.

Old, almost blind. and in feeble health.
Miss Kate Lee lay down to rest In her
room at her boarding house 1lli Eleventh
Street northwest, yesterday afternoon.
and while asleep she was overcome by
the fumes of escaping illuminating gas.
She is now at the Emergency Hospital
and. in view of her age, her condition is
considered serious. Miss Lee has, for
many years, lived a very quiet and retired
life, and very few people know anything
of her save that she is possessed of con-
siderable wealth and that her affairs
have for a long time been managed by
j.. Il. Overholt. of 1246 Eleventh Street
northwest
She is member of the distinguished
Lee family of Virginia. but despite this
fact she has no near relatives. A num-
her of years ago she came to Washing
ton to have her eyes treated and has al
most completely isolated herself from
the public. She is totally blind in one
eye and the sight of the other is very
defective.
Miss Lee spent the greater portion of
her time in her room, where she had
a small gas stove, which she used for
heating purposes. 1t was fed through
long tube which extended from jet on
the wall. When she lay down yesterday
afternoon Miss Lee turned off the flow of
gas, but did not discover a break in the
pipe where it had been bent.
Two hours after she had retired
boarder in an adjoining room detected
the odor of escaping gas and traced il
to the apartment occupied by Miss Lee.
He endeavored to force an entrance, but
was unable to do so, as the old lady, be-
ing very eccentric. always locked her
door to prevent anyone from coming In
while she slept and stealing her valuable
papers. An unsuccessful effort was made
to arouse the occupant. At last ladder
was procured and placed against the
rear of the house. Two men climbed
upon the roof and succeeded in breaking
a window in Miss Lees room and gain
ing entrance. The apartment was filled
with gas and the woman lay uncon-
scious upon the bed. DR.. Atwell and Dr.
Butler were summoned and directed that
she he removed to the Emergency Hos
pital. II is believed that she has a
chance of recovery.

A BABE SWALLOWS POISON.
Expected to Die From the Effects OF
Hydro-ChIoric Acid.

Harry Baldwin, the nineteen-months-old
son of Henry Baldwin. a machinist living
at 1910 C Street northeast, swallowed hy
dro-chloric acid last night and will die.
Mr. Baldwin had just purchased the
poison at a drug store to use in making
an electric battery. When he entered the
house he placed the bottle on the kitch-
en- table and went out into the back yard.
Mrs. Baldwin was sitting in the parlor
aud was not paying attention to the
pranks of the baby.
The child was very mischievous, like
most boys of his age. and was inbued with
a desire to examine every new thing he
saw, and to test the merits of the article
by placing it in his mouth. He caught
sight of the strange bottle and was just
able to stand on his toes and reach ii.
While no one was looking. he took the
vial. and quickly removed the cork. Then
he placed 1t to his lips and swallowed
some of its contents.
1t did not have a pleasant taste, so he
dropped the bottle and ran crying to his
mother. She met him and saw at once
that he had taken some of the poison.
An antidote was quickly procured and
administered, but the little fellow soon
lost consciousness and he was sent with
his mother to the Emergency Hospital
in an ambulance His parents refused
to allow him to remain. however and he
was taken back home. His condition
is very serious, and the physicians do not
think he can recover.

Preparation OF the Formni
Charres-The History of the Case
The last important official act of At
torney General Griggs before retiring
from the Cabinet next Saturday. will be
the preparation of formal charges against
Judge Arthur p. Noyes, of the United
States Court in northern Alaska. Per-
sistent complaints of the most serious
character have been made against Judge
Moves almost ever since the new United
States court was organized at Nome in
July OF last year.
Late in the fall, after mining opera
tions at Nome had closed for the season.
many individuals who claimed to have
suffered on account of the conduct of
Judge Moves on the bench. came to Wash
iugton, and lodged complaints against
him with the President and with the At
torney General The Nome Chamber of
Commerce sent a delegation here for the
special purpose of stirring up in Con-
Eress a sentiment in favor of investigat-
ing the conduct of Judge Noyes and his
court Many of these persons who COM
plained to the President and to Mr. GrigSs
made the most sweeping charges, but
could not be induced to put their allega-
tions In writing Later. however. several
afldavits were filed. and persons In whom
the President has confidence expressed the
opinion that Judge Moves ought to be
required to answer the charges made
against him.
The principal charge was that the judge
was partner of Alexander Mckenzie
whom he appointed receiver for valuable
mining properties at Nome; that the two
were companions on the voyage to Nome,
r,.a int, ant nf A-pr
was made and later sustained in an ir-
regular way. Corrupt use of money in
various ways has also been alleged. Nc
Kenzie is now in Jail in California for
contempt of court in connection with the
affair. and the charges against Noyes
were emphasized by the sensational criti-
cism of him that was INDUCED in by the
United States Circuit Court at San Fran
cisco when il found Mckenzie guilty
Many of the Alaska men who have been
in Washington during the winter conduct
Ing the campaign against Judge Moves
have lately given up hope that the Ad-
ministration would act in the matter, and
blamed Attorney General Griggs for the
delay. They declared that the people of
the Nome mining district would not toll
crate Noyes for another year if the Gov
ernment ignored the charges. Governor
BRADY, or Alaska, recently told the Presf-
dent that he had fears for the life of
Judge Noyes should he be permitted by
the Government to retain his present po-
sition
1t became known yesterday from high
official source that the Attorney General
will sum up the charges that have been
filed. including some unexplained things
IN the record of the Nome court now in
sIr. Griggs hands. These will be sent to
fudge Noyes Immediately with an order

HANDS IN HIS "THIRTY."
An Old and Highly Respected
Newspaper Man of Denver
Has Crossed the Range.

Denver. April John G. Garrison,
editor and proprietor of the Denver Eye,
we'll known as the newspaper publication
OF South Denver, died yesterday at his
home, 100 Archer street, of typhoid fever
at ter four weeks illness.
Mr. Garrison xas born in Powhattan,
o, in 1855. He was the son of James
W. and Amanda Garrison, loug and fav-
orably known in Stark county, especially
the father who took a prominent part in
the politics Of that region, which includ-
ed the introduction into the political
world OF William Mckinley. Canton is
not far from Powhattan.
The boy was educated at Alliance, but
did not graduate, preferring to assist his
father in editing the country newspaper.
He was active in this work and thus it
was that he made the acquaintance Ct
William Mckinley, which ripened into a
friendship that only death has severed.
When he came to Denver thirteen years
ago for the benefit OF his wife's health,
he brought wi h him letters of introduc-
ton from Mr.. Mckinley.
The deceased has never held public
Office he always said he had no time for
such things-his business was too exact
ing.
In Ohio he joined the Odd Fellows
and several years ago, in this city he be-
came a Wooduan.
The widow and two daughters survive
him
