The death of j. d. Admanson
at Vicksburg, former employee
of the Times, came as surprise
to his friends here last Monday.
When he left here sick with chills
and fever for the V.cksburg hos
pital his condition was not consid-
cred serious, and his sudden death,
after arriving in the Hill city was,
as we said above, quite surprise.
Mr.. Admanson was comparatively
a stranger to the people here hay
ing come to this city only four
weeks ago. We gave him employ
ment and found him to he a good
printer and able man. In intelh-
gcnce be was far above the aver
age printer, speaking five different
languages. He had long since
caught The printers habit for
travel and during his life had al
most circIed the globe. His big
heart and charity covered his few
faults and will far overbalance
them in the great book above. He
was laid to rest at Vicksburg, be-
ing followed to his last nome by
the printers of that city Peace
to his ashes.

The man was suffering from an
aneurism or dilation of the great ar

three and a half inches wide. To save
his lie it was necessary to reduce the

COWBOYS CAPTURE RED DEER.
American Westerners Find Them
Harder to Catch with LassOS
Than wild Horses.

Two Of Buffalo Illl's cowboys, now
performing at the Olympia, London.
Tom Webb and 81 Compton, had what
they called the best days sport they
ever had in their lives on the grounds
of Loudwater house, the residence of
Panmure Gordon, at Rickmansworth,
recently. They were invited to las
500 a herd of red deer, and found
them trickier to capture than wild
horses, but after a determined corr
test the cowboys were victors.
The chase ranged over 12-acre
field, fringed with woods, cut of
which the deer were driven by beat
ers, whose attempts at capture they
had hitherto defied First came fine
stag, which seemed the leader. He
eyed the cowboys with an air or de-
fance and contempt. The coils OF
rope Kissed through the air and fell
around the legs of the stag, but be-
fore the loops could be drawn taut
the animal bounded five feet into the
air Several times the cowboys failed
but eventually coil fell round the
stag's antlers.
With another, which had no antlers,
capture was more difficult. Aftertwo
had been taken prisoners, the deer be
gan to practice sly tactics. They
watched for the rise of the cowboy'A
arm, and jumped high in the air while
the lasso fell harmlessly below them
1t took two hours to capture the first
FIVE.

White Metal Has Declined in Price.

New York. Oct. 1.-THE fact that the
director of the mint has refused to put-
chase any more Silver bullion at the
prevailing rates calls attention to the
gradual strength which this metal has

an ounce. but refused to take 1t.

since the first of the present year an
Improvement has been noted While
the decline was attributed to overpro-
duction, the advance has not been at
tributed ito a scarcity OF the metal so
much as an increased demand which
has set in. Notwithstanding the de-
crease in the production Of silver, the
Increase In other silverproIucing coun-
tries has served to swell the worlds
output.
