ILLEGAL QUAIL HUNTING.
Men killing Young Ones Near New
Britain by the Hundred.

New Britain, Aug 81 Several
would-be sportsmen of New Britain
are liable to get into serious trouble
il the four game wardens of the city
wake up to their duty. The sports
men, are just now numbering young
quail. The season for shooting the
birds does not open until October i,
meanwhile the young hunters have
been slaughtering the young birds that
are barely out of the nest. The MUIR
dering of fedgling birds has been go
ing on in the territory between the
McClintock and Pennington roads to
the east of the city for nearly a week.
On Sunday several of the sports
men, were out in all their glory and
succeeded in capturing good bags of
young quail. The birds are about
way as to make good sport for hunt
Ell. If this slaughter of the young
birds is stopped there is every indica-
ton that the straight hunting season
will open most successfully this year.
Men who have been over the territory
say that birds can be flushed in album
dance and that when the regular sea
son is opened the sport viii be fine.
ouc HILL WHO WAS Out through the
hunting territory on last Saturday
flushed nearly 200 birds with six
months-old dog. He was out training
the dog without gun and ran across
the men who were shooting out of sea
son. To understand the situation
more fully a person must realize that
the young birds have not yet obtained
their full strength of wing and that
they fly for only short distance and
in straight line SO that a person hunt
ing for them has them at his mercy
from the moment they rise to the time
he has filled them full of shot. The
same pair of young men who were out
Saturday were also out Thursday and
Friday and to cap the climax they
went out again on Sunday and thus
committed a double violation Of the
game laws.

TRIUMPH OF WOMEN.
A Number Who Have Distinguished
themselves by Deeds OF
Daring.

In Brooklyn the other day Mrs. Len
ME Kelley saved the life Of her aged
father by climbing over the dashboard
of the buggy in which they were driv-
ing on the Coney Island boulevard
and Selling the reins that had dropped
from his hand and were dangling at
the heels of their runaway horse.
Would PAMELA or Clerissa, or even
Nine. de Stael's extraordinary heroine,
Delphine, have done that? asks. the
Philadelphia Times. In Pittsburg Mrs
Sarah E. McCloy, in law court, has
Just excelled in the intellectual feat of
Portia, and has surpassed many shin
ing masculine lights of the bar, for
she managed her owncase in breach
of promise suit, and proved, too, con-
trary to the, old adage, that she did
not have a fool for a client. There
were some novelties in her methods of
examining witnesses, as, for instance,
her telling one of them point blank
chat he was liar. In the first case
there was triumph of nerve and
muscle, and in the second of nerve and
intellect. The obvious conclusion is
that the era in which woman was
"downtrodden creature is fully past,
for, with qualifying experience of the
world, she is now quite capable of de-
Tending her own and of holding it.

Deadly Dukfte Snake

One who has been all over the
world said to a reporter for the New
York Press: Your Martinique
friend, fer-de-lance, is not to be COM
pared with the dul1ite snake of Aus
tralia. It is like the pictures you have
seen of sin, long, red snake, with
eyes the living embodiment of evil.
The dnkites never go alone. If you
are unfortunate enough to kill one
without killing it's mate the latter
will follow your trail remorselessly,
like death, or fate, and, then if you
camp 20 miles from the spot, it will
kill you az sure as you killed it's

Pif-puR a New C,ame

People who ping-pong too strenu-
GUS for hot weather may be interest
ed in ''piff-puff," a new New Zealand
game, says the Boston Globe. 1T is
played with q miniature pair of bel
lows and an air ball, which is very
light. At each. end of the table are
outstanding goals, and the play lies
in directing the ball through the OPP
ponent's goal. This. by a stroke of
luck, may be done in few minutes,
or it may not be accomplished in a

The Orators batted weakly with but
three exceptions and for a time II
looked like a tie score, Ito 1. In the
eighth the visitors scored another run.
Only 10 hits were given them by Cor

the game by both sides. Corcoran

He was succeeded at third base by
Charlie Mccullough who was twice at
bat and made hit and scored run.
The attendance was scarcely 200 and
the interest was small Along tow

was exciting even. Kennedy umpired
impartially and proved himself master
of the situation. He insisted on obedi-

Secrets.

There are those who hold that sin
gular and prime friendship, such as
marriage, for instance, dissolves all
other obligations whatsoever and that
secrets betrayed are the greatest sac
rifices possible upon the altar of love.
Montaigne says 1.-THE secret l have
sworn not to reveal to any other l may
without perjury communicate to him
who is not another, but myself" There
are few friendships nowadays SO close
as his with Etienne de la Beetle, who
himself would not so much as lie in
jest" Theirs was one Of the great
friendships of history. But there is
much casuistry used by those who
would manifest their Importance in
knowing mysterious things. They obey
the letter of the law Of honor and tell
without really telling, letting the truth
leak out in wise hints and suggestions,
or they tell part of tale and hood
wink themselves into thinking that
they have violated no confidence. Yet
nothing is SO dangerous as half a
truth. Sooner or later it is inevitable
that the hearer will come across the
other side, and the cat is out Of the
bag,-Philadelphia Ledger.

AERIAL. POLO.
A queer Kind of Amusement ON q
Pacific Ocean Island.

Queer Kind of Amusement ON d
Pacific Ocean Island.
writing on 'sOur Equatorial Islands"
In the Century, james d. Hague says:
1t became an amusing diversion to
overturn the large fiat stones beneath
which the rats were hiding In solid
masses and watch them as they scam
pered In all directions, pursued and
quickly snatched up by the man-o'-war
hawks. These crafty birds were apt to
learn that the appearance of a man
walking on the island, especially with
a dog, meant rats for them, and any
one thus going forth was usually fol
lowed by lowering flock, ready and
impatient for the sport they had
learned to expect. A rat brought to
hand by the dog was quickly tossed in
air, where the birds were ready to
snatch it, sometimes with contest on
the wing for the disputed possession.
One form of this sport, a sort of aerial
polo, which seemed to be as good fun
for the birds as for the observers, con-
sisted in tossing two rats into the air
at the same moment, not singly and
apart but tied together with about
six feet of strong Irvine.
Instantly the birds made dash for
the rats, and the successful winner of
the first prize went sailing off with
one rat in his bill and the other swing
ing in the air beneath until snatched
by the second winner. when, after a
quick. sharp struggle and taut strain
on the cord. the bird with the weaker
hold was compelled to let go. This
then went on as continuous perform
ance, with somewhat Jonah-like but
rapidly repeated disappearances and
Temperatures of the little rats. swal-
lowed and reluctantly disgorged by
the birds in quick succession until the
flock, thoroughly exhausted by their
impetuous flight and extraordinary
exercise, alighted on the ground for
short truce, when the two temporary
Stockholders would be found sitting
face to face, keenly eying each other
from opposite ends of the string still
connecting them, each anxiously on
the sharp lookout for sudden jerks and
unpleasant surprises. while all the 9TH
er pursuers gathered around in a ring,
waiting for the two prize birds to fly.
The general aspect of all participants
seemed to verify the familiar adage
that the pleasure is not in the game.
but in the chase.
