SEASON CLAIMS "a HUNTERS
In Addition, Seventy Persons Were
Wounded This Year.
Pennsylvania Holds the Record,
with 100 Bears, $40 Deer, and
3S2 Wild Turkeys.

Chicago. Dec. 2-The casualties Of the
hunting season In all the States for the
fall season number sevenfy-four killed
and seventy wounded. Northern Michs-
gan and Wisconsin, where the open sea-
son for deer closed yesterday, went
ahead of the record for last year in
deaths, twenty-eight being reported this
season. against twenty-six for the pre-
yious one: but In the number OF persons
injured this years record falls far be-
low that OF the previous one, having
only twenty serious accidents, which did
not result in death.
The larger part Of the deaths were the
results Of accidental discharges Of shot
guns, many OF them occurring while the
owners were cleaning the weapons In
many OF these cases the victims were
children. A number of the deaths were
caused by BOYS who were hunting. and
the lnistaken-fOr-deer reason accounted
for many others
Michigan leads the list in dead and
injured. with Wisconsin a close second,
the former having fifteen deaths and the
latter thirteen. Illinois had eight deaths,
three Of the victims being Chicagoans,
but there was not a large number Of per
sons injured.

Immediately punY gypsy woman
seized him by the thumb The mayor
found himself powerless. The agony he
suffered was terrible When at last

put out of joint.
The gypsies, after defying the crowd.
finally took their departure. A body
OF officials pursued them, but the
gypsies took refuge in dense woods.

WESTMINSTER THEATRE.

The two large audiences which greeted
Phil Sheridan's City Sports Big Show at
the Westminster theatre yesterday came
away In very happy mood. for the bill
presented was one that was bubbling over
with ginger and at the same time free
from anything that was coarse or vulgar.
One or the features OF the bill Is the cho-
rus, which Is made UP or about 20 pretty
girls and each OF these works as IL she
was responsible for the whole. The per-
formance began with rollicking comedy
entitled "All in a Night; or A terrible
Mix-Up." in which Messrs. Thomas
idan, furnished the comedy element in a
most satisfactory manner. and Miss Cas-
sic Sheridan heads TIE chorus. During IL
half dozen vocal selections are rem
dered, some of them calling for a num-
ber of hearty encores and concludes with
a grand march by the girls, which was
the equal OF anything OF the kind seen
here this season.
Charles B. Van opened the olio with IL
Illustrated songs and made a decided hit,
as did the Hodges in a musical turn, and
something OF a contortionist as well as a
musician. The Misses Deely and Austin
