A MISTAKEN HUNT

The reports from Savannah that Admir-
al Schley and party have been killing deer
out of season are not exactly pleasant
reading. Even the most hardened poach-
ers hate to see famous man, man who
is associated with law and government by
virtue of his position, defying the law
and violating it. The reports say that,
for the sake of providing Admiral schley
with some sport. the very man who has
been most pronounced in his support Of
the game laws was the leading spirit in
arranging for heir violation. It is possi-
BILE that Admiral SchIey knew nothing OF
the local game laws and accept ed the en-
tertainment in good faith. It is to be
hoped such is the case.
1T seems to be the opinion Of the major
ity OF the people Of this country that the
game ought ITO be protected. IL such were
not the case there would not be elaborate

CIVIC BETTERMENT

fresh air excursions, and kindergartens
brought an exhilarating thrill to many
women In the audience whose efforts and
sympathies have been rather heavily
drawn upon to maintain in Minneapolis
some of these important aids to good
citizenship.
Others who have not been active pro-
motors of any of these agencies for good
were also thrilled and impressed The
only pity is that this is not quite the
usual time for launching the annual plans
for the Fairgrounds and vacation schools
and for asking money for their support

The greatest lobster Of them all was brought
to Philadelphia in a peach basket by Captain
Sam Gale of Atlantic City, who caught
him. 95
When the big shellf1sh grew 5momentarily
tired Of struggling for freedom, they put
him on the scales and he tipped the beam at
thirty three pounds. Then they took a tape
measure and found that thirty five inches
lay between his tail and his claw tip. His
claws were the most prominent part Of him,
and, in addition to weighing ten and twelve
pounds respectively, were fifteen inches long
and ten inches across. His snakelike feelers
were seventeen inches from base to tip.
Captain Gale says he caught the big fellow
in net while off the Inlet at Atlantic City.
When thrown into a tank with some eodfsh,
the lobster calmly cut one in two 9Th his

RENAISSANCE OF THE SENATE

Any one who has diligently followed
congressional news for the last three or
four years must have felt that his estimate
of the two houses of the national legisla-
ture was slowly undergoing a change. Not
many years ago the "millionaires' club"
as the senate was called, was looked upon
as stupid. dotted, aimless body, principally
occupied in acting in accordance with SEN
atorial courtesy and given over to jejune
and endless debates that were quickly
buried forever in that most voluminousr of
the worlds unread volumes, the Congress
sional Record. If a measure was good, the
public expected to see 1t killed in the SEN
ate. There was general disgust with the
old senate rules, which permit unlimited
debate.
On the other hand, the house under the
Reed rules, was regarded as the keen,
alert, sensible. practical, Woodworking
body, tho brains of the national leglsla
ture. Tired of endless debates in the SEN
ate and the frequent stoppage of business,
the people applauded the celebrity with
which debate was stopped in the house and
But the performances of the house on
two important measures, thus early in the
present session, have caused the people to
revise their previous opinions as to the
advantages of celebrity of action in some
cases and the ceasing of the house to be
deliberative body, as Tom Reed boosted 1t
had become under his rules. The house
passed the Philippines tariff measure after
two hours of debate. 1t was crude meas
ure, without any marks of craftsmanship.
The Representatives had hardly voted be-
fore they confessed that 1t was a poor ex-
cuse for a law at time when some very
! able legislation was required. The senate
took holdso the Philippines tariff In quite
different spirit and has been reforming
the measure with some thought as to its
application, with some ideas of Justice to
the Philippines, with some purpose beyond
| rushing legislation,
| Then there is the Hepburn Nicaragua
canal bill, which the dumb-driven house
passed with but few dissenting votes.
No stop was made to consider the offer of
| the Panama Canal company. There was no
elaboration of any kind. With its mad
passion for doing things, right or wrong,
the house rushed in and voted, so far as it
was concerned. to commit the country to
a. project that may cost several hundreds
| of millions-not stopping for a moment to
consider another means of+arriving at the
same end which may cost many millions
=! less.
Here again the old mossback senate,
with it's century-old rules, stepped In and
blocked the mad haste of the house
Whether the canal should be at Nicaragua
or at Panama, measure that contem-
plates the expenditure of so much money
should not be undertaken without due de-
1 liberation. If the senate shall now favor
the Nicaragua canal, the people Will be
likely to feel that the best route has been
! chosen. But in the choice made by the
house the people had no confidence.
| It is too true that the house has ceased
to be a deliberative body

Daily New York Letter

Alfred Meyer, who lives at 70 West One Hun
dred and Fourth street, went to the station
last night and made a complaint against Wal
ton. He said that a fictitious telegram had
been sent to his home two months ago, and
that the messenger had been paid IS cents.
A general alarm was sent out from the
West One Hundredth street station to all sta
tlons, requesting that compliments be in
formed or the apprehension of Walton. The
scheme has been worked in Harlem but for
the last few months the culprit has confined
his operations to the apartment-house dis
trict in the upper West Side. The construc-
ton OF the kilograms and notes often have
been changed, at times being written in ex-
tremely tender terms
A Conflicts of Storms,
The British steamship Adana, from oriental
points, ran onto the most spectacular acct
dental storm her skipper ever encountered
when she was about $50 miles east of Sandy
Hook. She is full Of spices from the far east,
tea, curios and mating. She had been sailing
under stormy skies by dead reckoning for
five days, when, at noon Of Friday, the sun
peeped through the gloom and the skipper,
Captain Smith, was able to make an cbserva-
ton. The brightness lasted only few
minutes and when the gale, rushing out of
the south seemed to gather new energy.
Another storm arose on the northern sea
line like an inky fortress. The aerial tusslers
OF the north and south grappled. II the skip
per had not known where he was, he says, he
would have sworn that there were ''breakers
ahead as all the darkened seas around him
acted as If they were tumbling over reefs.
Midday became night as the storms fought
for supremacy. =
The big freighter, was in the middle Of the
turmoil for nearly an hour. She was hove
down almost on her beam ends and her en-
gineers and fremen rushed on deck, fearing
she was about to turn turtle. Tons of water
tumbled aboard and when the cmbattled
storm WAS doing their worst crested wave
boiled fifty feet above the ships deck.
The index Of the barometer vibrated be-
tween 20 and go as If it had nervous pros
tration. The skipper saw a full rugged ship
in the ferment six miles away. After the
northern storm had knocked out the south
ern the ship had disappeared.

to human sense, good-for- nothing little

They seemed to have particular spite against
Frankie Foster because he was neatly

his nails clean and his hands white and soft.
There were bent pins always waiting, O, SO

One day in Sunday school frankie burst
out crying. He cried in a quiet and heart

to look unconscious but we all felt slow

This letter, fair sample Of those which
have been causing trouble in many homes

young man arrested the other night, and the
police believe they have the culprit who has
been writing them regularly.
For several months complaints have been

man has been presenting kilograms and notes
to women in apartment houses addressed to
their husbands and purporting to be from
other women. The bearer Of the message
each time extorted from Is to so cents from
the women, and would then hurry away. 1t
was not a lucrative scheme but was a great
source of amusement to him.
The culprit rarely sealed the envelop, and
cut of curiosity the wives would often read
the telegram or note with it's startling con-
tents. This usually necessitated vigorous ex-
plantations and denals when the husabnd re-
turned home at night. In several cases sep
