Inauests on Fires.

A considerable number of people
believe that the holding Of inquests
on fires In the city is a quaint sur
vival Of an old custom, but it is in
reality modern innovation, and 1t is
reported that the Government is con-
sidering the advlsablity of introducing
fire inquests throughout the kingdom.
They would no doubt be productive
of many valuable recommendations
but considering the number of fires
that take place each year, they would
be serious matter for the jurymen.

portant lines. Instead of releasing
one bat at a time for the shooters in
rotation. as arranged by Mr. Jor-
dan. the five negroes rose up from
ambush, threw the covers off the
barrels. tossed up double handsful
OF bats and lodged out of sight
again. The black mans love of the
spectacular inspired them to boom
the show right from the jump. and
Squirrel Jordan's sporting prestige
was dented 10 a finish.
Nothing. unless it be a Prof Lang
ley airship, can approach the erratic
fight of the bull bat propelled from
a dark recess into the broad glare
of day The fantastic gyrations of
those little fuzzy creatures paralyzed
the Dope Spring Animated Target
Club. A few guns exploded at ran
dom. but without. damage Reared
as they were in the gloom and sane
tity of a century-old church, the
racket stampeded the bats remaining
in the barrels. The blinded terrified
things swooped and swirled and
darted in a hundred directions
Panic followed tb first stampede.
The five negroes .unged into the
bay. and the cloud of bats charged
over and among the crowd. They
burrOWed into the 7aiment and pock-
cts of the company. futteTed in their
faces and buzzed in hair and whisk-
ers. But one bat is known to have
perished in the regular shoot, and
that one tried 10 crawl down the
muzzle of Mr.. J0Fdan's gun just as
his wife tainted on his trigger arm.
Old Squirrel carried of all the hon
oTs of that remarkable live shoot,
and likewise all the condemnation
The busy knockers at once got after
the sporting promoter. They didn't
begrudge MI Jordan the one bat he
killed, but he had stocked the town
at the ratio OF two or more bats to
each inhabitant at a time when there
was no urgent demand for imported
bats. Hence those peevish murmur-
ings which the knoekeT SO freely
passes out
Poor Squirrel lost his standing,
his appetite, and his zest for sport,
except in a sCrdid and solitary man
