THE LETTERS in MOURNING.

An interesting party has been gath
cred together at Tulloch Castle. the
famous Rcss-shire estate which Mrs.
Joseph Letter of Chicago has this
year again leased from Mr.. Davidson
of Tullcch. 1t includes Lord Curzon
of Kedleston, his three little daugh-
ters, Lord and Lady Suffolk and their
baby son, Lord Andover. Colonel and
Mrs. Colin Campbell. the Dowager
Lady Suffolk and Joseph Letter. Very
little shooting, however, was done,
although Colonel Campbell and Lord
Suffolk we're out on the moors, and
no entertaining has taken place, in
spite of the fact that Mrs. Letters
tenancy includes over seven thousand
acres of some CT the finest shooting
in the country. All of the party are,
of course, still in the deepest mourn
ing for Lady Curzon. Mrs. Letter
keeps quite stud" of motors at
Tulloch Castle, and motoring. as
rule, through the wild and pictures
que scenery of the neighborhood
formed one of the chief amusements
of the place to all those of the house
party who were not out on the moors.

RIGHTS Of The aMrs. Presldent.r

Moreover there Is growing belief
among Americans that the wife of the
president of the United States, as the
first lady in the land. is the proper
custodian for the social laws of the
republic.
These contend that 1t is only the
necessities of polite and cultivated
intercourse with foreign nations that
make the need for a national society.
The present first lady of the land has
been educated to society, and holding
the view that she had a course OF

the head OF American society.
Hard Record to Equal
No matter on whom the choice may
fall, she has her work cut out to equal
the record of Mrs. Aston. She seemed
to be made for the place. and dis
charged its functions with an assur-
ance that made them appear easy.
With almost unlimited wealth at her
command, entertaining has been the
Joy OF her long and happy life, and the
"grand-dame" manner was instinct
with her. She liked nothing so we'll
as receiving the elite of the United
States. Her social set was never con-
fined to local limits; she drew fron.
all cities, besides entertaining hun
dreds of distinguished foreigners be-
meath the superb portrait of herself
that Carolus Duran painted genera
ton ago. Mrs. Astor was an autocrat,
but she wore her powers gently. She
came to the place perfectly equipped
with wealth, a stainless name and ripe
Judgment, and until the first break
down of year ago her powers SEEM

TAElB|G ILLINOIS
GAME PRESERVES
Twenty Thousand Rare Golden
Tailed Pheasants Now Be-
ing Distributed. /
Il

Associated Press to The Evening Times,
Springfield. ILL.,, Oct. 17.-Golden-
tailed pheasants, high-priced birds
that are considered a rarity on the
game preserves of the wealthy in Eu-.
rope. are being given away in Illinois.
The game commission, of which DR..
James A. Wheeler, prominent poli-
tician and sportsman, is the head. ia
distributing 10000 of these handsome
birds. No price is demanded, the only
stipulation being that the recipient
give the birds every facility to in
crease and multiply and also to see
that they do not lack for feed during
cold weather.
Illinois has the distinction of pos
sessing the most progressive game
commission in the United States. The
legislature three years ago passed a
law requiring every hunter to pro-
vide himself with license 1t costs
resident hunter 81 per year, while
a nonresident must give twice that
sum, and there is no guarantee that
the purchaser will find any game.
With the stringent game laws there
is not much opportunity for the nim-
rod, but this will all be changed if the
plans OF the game commission do not
miscarry.
Buy Game With Fees.
The commission is receiving an an
nual revenue exceeding 100000 from
the licenses, and this money is being
applied to propagate quail, prairie
chickens, pheasants, geese, turkeys
and some other game birds. During
the past year the commission has i'm
ported thousands of quail and pleas Z.
ants and the breeding pens at the
state game preserves in Sangamon
county have produced 10000 young
pheasants and almost as MANY quail
and other birds.
1t developed that the quail do not
increase rapidly in captivity, better
success being secured when the eggs
laid by the quail were placed under
farmyard chickens. The pheasants.
however, proved success and the
commission is now engaged in dis
tributing few pairs of the young
birds to all the counties of the state,
the deputy game wardens being dir
ected to place the birds with respon-
sible farmers who will see to it that
the DlrdS are given every protection.
In few years it is hoped that the
birds will be as numerous as quail.
Back to Old Preserves.
With the steps being taken to in
crease the number of quail and prairie
chickens the game shooting in the
next few years promises to be the fin
est IN the country. A half century
ago the prairieS of Illinois wera .liva
with game Of all kinds. but the heavy
settlement by farmers and the lack
OF adequate protection almost made
the various breeds extinct. Now it is
hoped to restore the feathered tribe
in their oldtime numbers, and the
work of the Illinois commission is
attracting attention from all the coun-
try. Branch preserves are to be in
augurated in various sections to pro-
mote the propagation.

MAKING AN ISLAND.
New One In East River in Connection
With Tunnel Work.

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Oct. 17.-More than one
person has suggested that the vexa-
tious transportation problem, so far
as Brooklyn is concerned. could be
obviated by the simple plan of filling
in the East river. That this is not
such a wild project as one might I'M
agine is evident from the fact that
the island of Manhattan is two blocks
wider on the East river side than

Ing upstream toward the southern end

seeing the island that Yankee Doodle
had in seeing the city. There are
so many houses" 1t is literally COW

The reason for the existence of the
island is the reason why the filling

The New York & Long Island Rail-
road company desiring to put verti-
cal hole in the bottom of the river at
that point. an island was built to sur

of this shaft horizontal tubes are be-

The traveller ON the 34th street
ferry line may see other evidences of
the tunnel construction which is
honeycombing the earth under the
waters of the metropolis. Gurgling
up in an unending stream from the
depths under the bow of the ferry
boat as it lies in the Manhattan slip
are great air bubbles. They suggest
the breath OF some dying monster be-
low, and look like a series of boiling
springs. Out in the stream hundred
or more feet away are several creamy
circles. At first glance one is likely
to think them the fruit of some churn-
Ing paddle wheel or propeller. AS the
ferry boat moves out of the slip past
them they are seen to be great masses
OF air bubbles, SO great that they keep
the surface in a constant turmoil, and
even break the crests of the waves
that roll up to and around them. One
is forcibly reminded of the immense
amount of air which is pumped into
the tube underneath, and what would
happen if there should be a sudden
cessation in the monotonous round OF
the pumps. The bubbling water I'M

gomery Phister, one of the most schol-
arly critics in America, expressed HIM
self in the Commercial Tribune in the
following laudatory term of the popu-
lar comedians performance of MIR.
Pipp."
1T is the actor, however, to whom
the great glory of the performance
falls. What the artist and dramatist
succeeded in building Digby Bell has
vitalized and made palpitant with life.
Perfect as his performance was last
season, it Is now vastly improved in
polish, artistic finish and evident stu
diOus thought.
ut is clear that here we have a
comedian of splendid ability who loves
his work. 1t is one of the finest COM
edy characterizations which the stage
has known in many years, and, fur
Their, it may be said it is historic
achievement which reflects credit on
the American stage. Every expression,
every movement, every gesture, vocal
and facial, has evidently been care
fully thought out, but the whole is
blended with charm of spontaneity
and naturalness that makes one for
get the art of the actor in the delight
full type of character which he repre-
sents.

One of the most notable engage
ments of the season at the Metropoli-
tan concerns the appearance here of
Maude Fealy, the youngest dramatic
star on the American stage, in the
title role of a new modern comedy
in three acts. THE Illusion of
Beatrice" by Martha Morton.
Miss Fealy, who will doubtless be
remembered by theater-goers as the
leading woman with the late Sir
Henry Irving, VIM. Gillette, VIM. COL
lier and E. S. Willard, develops as u

perience and association with some
of the worlds greatest players.
The play in which she will be seen
is clean and wholesome throughout,
providing role admirably suited to
her ability and with sufficient romance,
comedy and character types to provide
an admirable entertainment. Miss
Fealy's engagement here is for one
night, Wednesday, Oct. "a.
