OF Interest to All Mining Men.

To a large number of residents of
Ely a thorough knowledge of the
science of modern mining is almost
indispensable. No industry has pro-
crossed SO rapidly in the last few
years as has the mining industry. To
succeed one must be thoroughly
posted on these modern methods and
developments. And the very best
and cheapest way to get this neces-
sary training is by enrolling now in
the International Correspondence
Schools. Take your choice of Full

Course, Metal Prospector's Course,
or whatever suits your needs. Full

ton in the nests. A Florida game
warden was killed by plume hunter
while attempting to arrest him, and
the grand jury failed to indict the
murderer. This local sentiment
against Furnishing violators of game
laws dies out only after the laws
have been in existence for some time,
and efforts to enforce them have been
intelligent and persistent. AS time
passes the man who resists arrest for
violations of the game laws will be
regarded by his neighbors in the
same light as he who resists arrest
for an infraction of any. other statute.

During a recent session of the Ken
lucky Legislature much opposition to
rigid game laws under consideration
was manifested by representatives
from the extreme east and west ends
of the state, one of these sections be-
ing the home of the mountaineer and
the other a farming country. A
mountain representative who had
never made speech rose and said
that he was no orator, but that he
would ask Indulgence while he pro-
tested, as friend of the poor,
against a provision of the law pro-
hibiting trapping. The boys in the
mountains, he maintained, had a
right to trap cartridges and sell them
for money with which to buy school
books A minister who represented
a lowland county near the Mississippi
river followed the mountaineer, and
declared all game laws to be an in
fringement upon the inalienable
rights of landowners. He said if the
legislature did not repeal those ex-
listing he and his neighbors would
violate them at pleasure, and would
resort to the use of firearms II any,
one tried to interfere.
In the creation of wholesome pub
lie sentiment the press has been a
powerful factor in all states. When
the great Belle Meade estate near
/ Nashville was divided for sale re-
Gently 800 deer in the park were
bought by public subscription and
turned loose in the Cumberland
mountains. The fund was raised by
Nashville newspaper at the sugges-
tion of Game Warden James HI. Ack-

represen tative in. congress.
One of the most brutal forms of
commercial hunting is the killing of
egrets in Florida. The plumes of
these beautiful and harmless birds
command high price for use as
aigrettes upon women's hats, and as
the birds are in plume in the nesting
season the custom is to shoot them
and leave the young to die of starva-

GIRL LOSES BIG ESTATE
OF WEALTHY HORSEMAN.
Court Revokes Will Made by Former
Rich Turfman in Favor of
Adopted Daughter.

NEW YORK, Oct. lon the ground
that Elizabeth Engeman was more than q
years old when she was adopted by
George II. Engeman, former president of
the Brighton Beach Racing Association,
Surrogate Church. of Brooklyn. today re-
voked the probate Of the turfman's will.
He had left lhis entire estate, valued at
several hundred thousand dollars, to Miss
Engeman.
The surrogate directed the young wom-
an to deposit with the Home Trust Com
pany all the funds OF the estate now in
her possession. pending argument on an
order to show cause why the surrogate
should not reopen her case. This argu-
ment will be held on October IA.
The petitioners for the revocation of the
probate were Jeanette Hodgeson and
Margaret Tyson. near relatives of Enge-
MN. Through their attorneys they de-
olared that Elizabeth Bngeman was born
in Canada in 1870. but was not adopted by
Enseman until twenty-one years after
tina date They commended that such
adoption was illegal, as Miss I1ngeman
had reached ner majority. Witnesses cor
roborated these statements. The young
woman, they said, bore the name of Gu
sack before being adopted, and was the
child of a family in very Door circum-
stances.
Counsel for Miss Engeman produced two
certified checks, one for $4,000 and the
other for s4,00v. together with a promis-
sorry note for $4,000. which he said was
all the money of Engeman's estate which
his client could ar present account for.

MAN AND WOMAN NICELY
TRICKED BY DETECTIVES.
Their Scheme Was to Get Money from
Railroad for Non-Existent
Lost Baggage.

JERSEY CITY, Oct. oscar Albert
Brown and Julia Lelsch were arrested to-
day in this city on a charge of attempting
to swindle the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. On September Is Bro,7n and
Miss Leisch were passengers on a train
from Pennsylvania. They had checked
two dress suit cases and when they called
for them at the baggage office in this city

Brown introduced n women as his wife
and both expressed Indignation at the loss
of their property. Railroad officials prom
ised to make an investigation. The Browns
gave their address as 12s East Sixteenth
street, Mennattau. Detectives Spencer and
Vallehly. of the railroad company, who
Were put on the case, learned that the
couple wee not man and wife; that the
woman was n street walker in Manhat-
tan and that Brown was being supported
by her. Other Information obtained by
the dete ,tives convinced them that all was
not right regarding Browns claim of the
loss of the suit cases.
In response to a letter from the railroad
officials Brown and the woman came to
this city yesterday to talk over the matter.
The detectives questioned them closely
and Fl ally asked them to put a value on
the missing property. Brown said it would
take at least $50 to replace the articles In
his suit cases. and Mrs. Brown" said She
had at least $3.50 worth in hers. Both made
affidavit to this effect. Then the detec-
tives took the woman into another room
and told her everything they knew about
her. She broke down and confessed hat
Brown had taken the suit cases from a
baggage truck on the railroad platform
Immediately after the arrival of the train.
He told her he would make a fuss, claim
ing them to be lost and that they would
get "a stake from the railroad.
AS both had sworn to the value of the
supposed missing suit cases charges Of
perjury were made against them. Brown
is p years old and the woman is 20.
