Unlawful Cunning.

The Fairfax authorities are determ-
ined that the game laws of the State
shall be observed so far as they are con-
cerned. Yesterday some of the officials
visited the marshes southwest of this
city and chased out several men who
we're violating the law. One man was so
anxious to avoid arrest that he dropped
his gun overheard. Several more we're
seen with guns much larger than the law
allows, but they escaped. For using such
guns a fine of 500 is imposed, $50 OF
which goes to the informer.

7,5oo EMPLoYEs LAID OFF.
International Harvester Go Will Thus
 Save S5.OOO, 900 q Year.

Chicago, Nov 3o.-F Following its an nounced policy of standardization, the International Harvester Go has decided to lay off 7,5OO of its 19,o0O employees and thus effect saving of $5,00O, ,000 year. The first step in the direction of economy was taken night before last when 1,50O employees of the Deering division were notified their services were no longer required. These men were employed in the factories at Iron dale.
 It was announced to-day the Iron dale men were not the only Chicago employees of the company who were to suffer. Of the 1000 workers in the Deering division, 3,000in in all are to be laid off. Of these 1,500 are employed in the Fullerton avenue plant, the oth- CTS being IrondaIe, 10Sth street and the Calumet River. The Mccormick division will not discharge so many, but 1,500 of its 1000 employees being slated for dismissal. The other 5000 workers to lose positions are those em- ployed in the mills in Milwaukee, Springfield, O., plants.

Typhoid npidemie at Butler.

BUTLER, Pa, Nov. 30 = Eighteen deaths have occurred here since Sept
 15 from typhoid fever, and nearly 1,500 cases have been reported. One doc tor has sixty-flve fever patients and can not attend to all. pr. James Gross man broke down under the strain and now has typhoid fever. Four doctors are now sick, the others being Drs. Minter. Harris and McAdoo. A relief mass meeting held in the courthouse was highly successful. A total of $6,- 200 was raised in less than an hour. Those doctors and preachers who are best acquainted with the situation say the worst is yet to come and that there will not be sufficient money to last till the subsistence of the epidemic, which, judging from the history of previous fever scourges, will last until spring. The expenses of the relief committee will amount to nearly $1,0O0 per week.

TIE NEW RAPID FIRE GUNS
Board of Ordinance Say They
 Are the Equal of the Best.

l Tests Just Made Show the Three-Inch l Rapid Fire Guns to Be Good Ones
 $10O,OOO Will Be Needed to Garry Out Work of Board the Next Year. 1 Washington. Nov 3O.-The board of ordinance andl fortification in it's an-
 nual report says that the results of the tests made with the three-inch rapid ! fire gun recommended by the board for adoption for the army, show that l when equipped with these guns anl l carriages the field artillery of our army will have a weapon equal, if not su- perior, to that of any nation" Relative to the tests conducted in Pensacola harbor the report says they have re suited in the adoption of a system of fire control and direction for coast ar tillery (which, when installed, with such notifications as experience may suggest, as part of the coast defense, will render 1t more than ever effective"
 The sum of $1OO,OOO is estimated as the amount needed to carry on the work of the board during the next fiscal year The board renews former recon mendatfons that appropriations by con- gress should be sufficient to provide reserve supply of ammunition Of at least 100 rounds for each large callbre gun and mortar and at least 25O rounds for each rapid fire gun as soon as mounted, saying: "As without an adequate supply of ammunition it is needless to say that the armament of the coast defense is useless" An am ple allowance of ammunition for an nual target practice, and the contlnu- ance of the present allowance for sub- calibre and machine gun practice, IS recommended. Further 1t Is recon mended that all target practice, except sub-calibre. should be full service charges of smokeless powder. it being stated that the present allowance Of ammunition has not been sufficient to test the guns thoroughly after their 1n- stallation.
 The board renews its recommends tion that provision be made for carry ing out each year system of practical drill and target practice with heavy guns under conditions approximat1ng those of actual service. The report says three ranges should be provided one for the north Atlantic, one for the south Atlantic and gulf and one for the Pacific coast.
 Finally. the board says not less than $2OOO.OOO should be appropriated an nually for the next several years for the installation of proper fire con- trol system at each coast artillery fort the board stating that it is not aware of any object for which such sum can be expended more effectively or from which greater benefit will be derived.

New York's Historic Theater
 Burned Down To-day.
FIRE STARTED IN THE SCENERY

Men Were Preparing Theater for the
 Senator McCarren Dinner-Loss
 Will Be $30O,OOO-A Saloon Was
 Demolished By Some of the Falling
 Timbers.
 New York, Nov 3O-The historic Academy of Music, the largest theater in Brooklyn, was completely consum- ed to-day by fire. For a time the flames threatened adjoining property and when the roof fell in part of it struck a liquor saloon building ad joining. No one was hurt although the saloon was destroyed The loss was estimated at S3OO,0OO and was fully covered by insurance.
 The fire started in the scenery on the stage of the theater where num- Der of men were preparing for the testimonial dinner to Senator McCar- ron, to be given there tonight. A lower fly in the scenery was discover ed to be on fire and after an unsuc- cessful attempt to subdue the fire the men had to leave the building.
 Four alarms were turned in i'll qulCh SuCceSSlOn
 For some unknown reason the fire department was tardy in arriving at the scene of the fire and it was fully l5 minutes before they had stream of water in the building. 1t was then , discovered that the water could be carried scarcely half way up to the roof. Within half an hour after the discovery of the fire the entire build ing was a roaring furnace and the firemen were bending all their efforts to saving the surrounding property.
 The Academy which was an anti quated building,- constructed i'll 1880, of brick sandstone and wood, was the exact opposite of firepfoof and offered no resistance to the flames
 It is located in the heart of the f. nancial district. Opposite it on Mon- tague street is the Brooklyn public library with over 16OOO0 volumes. the largest in the borough. The wind was blowing in that direction and fears were expressed for its safety.
 Adjoining the academy on the west is the Peoples Trust Co.'S building and next to that the office building of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Go.
 The 'SWaY Down East'' company occupied the academy all last week, hut the scenery and effects were taaeli out late Saturday night. A quantity of yarnish and paint had been stored . in the wings of the staA. preparatory to giving the interior general over hauling.
 When after an hours work the flames were finally brought under con. trol there was nothing left of the Academy building but the crumbling outer walls. The building was owned by a stock corporation and for more than forty years has been prominent in Brooklyn's life.
 The banquet of Senator McCarren will be held tonight as scheduled and will be given at the Hotel St George.
 Brooklyn theaters have had many experiences with fires in the past. One of the worst was that of the Brook lyn theater which was destroyed in 1876. when 298 lives were lost Tn 1891 Hyde and Behman's theater was to- tally consumed. but no lives were lost.
 It is reported that boy employed as pin boy in the bowling alley in Me Groarty's saloon is missing.

Shot Dead For Five Cent Shortage \ CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Because he was short ; cents in settling for his break fast Marcus Sheehan, guard on the South Side Elevated road, was shot and instantly killed here by James Berganus, proprietor of State street restaurant.
