/ Expensive Ducks.

5 The average hunter figures out the cost
Of the ducks he brings home at from 81
to $40 per bird; but members Of several
New York clubs bag their birds at a cost
Of several hundred dollars apiece. The
most exclusive gun club in the east. costs
its members $4,000 q year, and at that
they can only shoot on certain days and
at certain hours. The birds, however. are
no better for the extra cost. The same is
true OF golden grain belt beer tits as
good as beer can be made at any cost.

It was to be long engagement.

planned to send Donaldson abroad,
with the result that Dorothy decided to
go too. So they were married in my
house, which was rose bedecked for
the occasion. There were festivities
which lasted until sundown, and then
while some Of the younger guests were

that waited before my door the two
lovers escaped by another way and

MT. PELEE IN ERUPTION.

Castries, Island of st. Lucia, British
West Indies, Sept. 1.-The British
steamer Korena arrived here last even
ing from Fort de France, Island of
Martinique. She reports that a terri
BILE eruption of Mount Pelee occurred
at 8 O'Clock Saturday night, and that
people who arrived at Fort de France
from the northern part of the island
reported that the village of Morne
Rouge, near the district previously
devastated, had been entirely de-
stroyed, and that LIE Carbet, village
on the coast, which was destroyed at
the time of the great eruption, has
been swept by tidal wave. About 200
persons lost their lives.
A sloop from the Island Of st. Vim
cent, which reached here this morn
ing, reports that Mount Pelee's crater
is now quiet, but that the detonations
during Saturday night were the loud
est heard up to that time, and that the
inhabitants were terribly alarmed.

PORTE FOLLOWING USUAL COURSE.
Trying to Evade Responsibility of the ston
Abduction.

AbuuCklons 5 r
Constantinople, Turkey, Aug. 31.-
The report circulated in the United
States bya news agency that the Turk
ish government had addressed an alb
rupt note to United States Minister
Leishman, saying that it absolutely
refused to further discuss the RESPONSE
bility for the capture by brigands of
Miss Ellen M. Stone, an American
missionary, and companion, in Sep
tember, 1901, as the outrage was not
committed in Turkish territory, is not
true.
AS a matter of fact, the question OF
the Porte's responsibility is indisputa-
BILE, since the capture, payment of the
ransom and liberation Of the captiyes
all occurred in Turkish territory.
The correspondence on the subject Of
the measures taken for the discovery
and arrest of the brigands continues,
and the insufficiency of the efforts
displayed by tine Turkish authorities
has been the subject of complaint by
the United States Legation.
The Porte is following its usual
course OF trying by every means to
evade the demands of the legation for
the capture and punishment Of the
guilty persons, alleging among other
reasons that the oaptives when released
did not furnish sufficient information
to enable the authorities to find the
brigands. Atrs s3tta

WOUNDED WHILE CUNNING.

George Lodge, the Attorney, Shoots Him.
self While After Reedbirds.
George Lodge, the attorney, while
cunning for reedbirds this morning,
accidentally shot himself in the left
arm. The load made a wound six OF
eight inches long between the elbow
and wrist, barely missing the bone.
Alone at the time of the accident, Mr..
Lodge bound up his wound, got his
boat to shore and walked home.
He had shot and brought his
bird down, and he had placed his
gun in the boat, the muzzle pointing
away from him and moved his boat SC
as to be able to reach the bird. Then
he leaned over the gun and was about
toipick up the bird, when the remain
ing barrel of the gun was discharged.
He thinks he must have struck the
hammer of the weapon with his foot,
as he leaned over 1t.
At first he did not realize that he
had .been struck, supposing that the
shot had missed his arm, but moment
or two later stream of blood told him
that something more serious had hap
pened. He realized that his shooting
was over for the day.
The first thing to do was to stop
that flow of blood. Mr.. Lodge made
tourniquet with his handkerchief
around his arm above the wound,
which to degree, checked the flow.
He lost a good deal of blood, however.
The next thing to do was to get home.
With his right arm, he managed to
push the boat with one of the oars and
to reach landing place near Holly
Oak. There he found another gunner,
who consented to look out for his boat
Getting ashore, Mr.. Lodge walked to
his residence, about mile distant
Word was sent to this city and DIR.
James A. Draper, Jr., went to Mr..
Lodges house and dressed the wound.
He found that the shot had torn
away the flesh to the bone for several
inches below the elbow. An eighth Of
an inch more would have caused a
shattering of the bone that would
probably have meant the loss of the
arm. DR.. Draper used six or seven
stitches to close the wound. He ex-
poets that in time new flesh will fill
out where the old was.

NEGRO ESCAPED THE MOOSE
But He Was Badly Wounded by
a Volley of Shots.
ARDEE WILSON FLED FROM MOB
When He Was Being Led to His
Doom.


Sparta, ILL.,, Sept. 1.-Ardee Wilson,
colored, who escaped from lynching
party last night, is alive, despite the
rumor that he had been riddled with
bullets.
Luck favored Wilson from the start.
As the mob brought him forth on q
run to the electric light pole where he
was to have been hanged, it was seen
that his hands were loose. When near
ing the outer line of the crowd of spec
taTors, he threw off the moose, and was
through the crowd and away before
those holding the rope realized what
had happened. The lynching party
pursued him, firing volley of shots,
one of which struck an on-looker in
the arm. Wilson staggered and fell,
but arose and ran into yard, making
good his escape.
As soon as day broke, searching
parties began to scour the country,
and Wilson was soon run to cover and
captured. His injuries consist of
shattered shoulder and bad wound in
the leg, together with wounds all over
his body. He was lodged in the Ches4
ter Jail. His condition is serious.
Wilson is charged with assaulting
young white woman.

THE CuRBSToNt MARKET.
To be Devoted to the Purpose for which it
Was Intended.


Was Intended.
One of the objects of the crusade against
sidewalk distractions in King and Madison
street markets ia to make them as clear as
possible for the purpose for which they were
intended, and that is for the use of the farm
ers. The market was originally intended
for the exclusive use of the farmers and the
object in creating 1t was to give them an
opportunity to back their wagons to the curb
and sell their produce without placing IL in
the hands of the middle man, the impress
sion being that the result would be beneficial
to the people of Wilmington, as 1t would
give them an opportunity to buy direct from
the producer without paying the middle
mans profit, During the past fey years,
however, some hucksters and others have
been occuppying stands on the sidewalks
and in the streets, which makes congestion
that the police would like TO get rid of !:
hence Chief Black s determination to enforce
the ordinance relative to distractions on the
sidewalk.
For some time many of the farmers have
been violating the ordinance, BY remaining
in the market after 2 o'clock In the after
noon. The law requires them to leave at that
time and Chief Black has served notice upon
them that they will be expected to vacate at
TINT time, and there has been pretty gem
eral compliance with the request So far as
is known, there ia no disposition on the part
of the farmers to take more privileges than
are allowed by law and no trouble is OK
pected from any of them.
