In time to come when the wild ami

disappeared, will have a national col
lection of heads and horns of such
beasts. For some time sportsmen and
students of natural history have been
discussing the question of how to es-
tablish such collection and wishing
that one might be brought into exist
ence before all the big game In Amer
lea is exterminated. In the museums
Of Europe there are collections of
heads and horn@which are the envy
of sportsmen In America One of these
collections is In the South KensingtoE
museum, London. and for years the
English sportsmen and collectors have
been donating to 1t. Its treasures en-
brace many rare and valuable specl

collection formed In this country which
while not excluding specimens from
other parts of the globe would give
especial attention to preserving data
about the animals native to our soil.

l32 most valuable specimens of heads
and horns collected by himself When

a separate building will be provided
to house the collection. In the mean
time the New York Geological society,
as guardian of the specimens, will
maintain them IN the picture gallery
of the administration building, now ap.
preaching completion. The specimens
will be arranged In two major divi-
sions, one showing IN graduation the
natural evolution of the horned species
upon the face of the whole globe, the
other indicating geographical division
by continents. A complete and COM
prehensive collection of photographs
will further-serve to illustrate tile yari-
ations of the species and the haunts
aud habits of the animals both In free
dom and IN captivity. The collection.
together with the library of the Zoo
logical society, which will be made
available for reference, Will represent
bureau of information for sportsmen
such as may not be found anywhere
else In the world.
Two notable heads In the present
nucleus of collection are those of q
Rocky mountain bighorn and or

mountain bighorn Is nearly extinct as
a species. and this specimen was OBJ.
tanned four years ago in British Colum-

requires high degree of prowess as a
hunter, for the gunner must endure
great stress of soul and body before
he bags this member of the noun

for its fondness for crags and preci-
pices where human beings can climb
only with exceeding difficulty. The
white mountain goat-not from the
White mountains of New Hampshire,
as the name might suggest, but from
the northwestern part of the CONT

does not readily fall into the hunters

THF PATROL. WAGON
Ii Should Be Provided With a Cover.
Why Not?

he city is possessed of patrol
wagon which is designed to haul to the
police station the "drunks and downs"
and individuals arrested by the police
for the infraction of ordinances, in two
words, the law When necessary this
vehicle is used to convey the sick or the
seriously hurt or shot or stabbed. In
stead of being strictly a police wagon
ii is general utility wagon, subject to
any call. Ii is not possible now to COM
pute how often this system of carrying
tie sick, the seriously hurt, in this
wagon to the hospital, butt the city be
too poor to provide wagon for the use
OF the sick or the seriously injured, and
Must by force of economy persist in the
use fthe police wagon for all purposes,
then there should be provided covering
sufficient to this wagon to protect the
urfortunates when being hauled to the
hospital. There should be some SEM
blance of humanity, if nothing else.
The question of the police wagon and
a wogan for the exclusive use of tie
sick and the seriously hurt has been be-
fore the Council, and is no less alive
now than in the long years in which it
has received carcely passing notice.

SOUELCHED AT LAST
The Louisiana States Lottery Company
The Fines Imposed on the Men Con-
nected With It.

The Donaldsonville Chief commenting
on the final smashing of the Louisiana
State Lottery Company, says: Many
people have entertained the belief that
the Louisiana State Lottery Company
of fragrant memory passed out of exist
ence when it was refused an extension
of its charter and driven beyond the
borders of the State from which it took
its name. Many others knew that the
concern continued to do business on the
| old plan, if not at the old stand, under
| the title Of the Honduras National Lot
terry Company, ostensibly domiciled at
Puerto Cortez, Spanish Honduras,
whittier gallant old General William L.
Cabsll used to journey from Texas once
a month to supervise the drawings.
Very few people, however, had the re-
hottest idea that the practical business
of the lottery had in point of fact never
been taken out of this country, and that
the tickets for the drawings were print
led surreptitiously in the city of Viii
nington, Delaware.
The coils have been Tightening around
the lottery gradually but surely, thanks
to the vigilance of the general govern
ment's secret service agents and the
ability of its law officers, and the closing
scene in the drama was enacted at Mo-
mile on Monday and Tuesday, the grid
and 4t instant, when thirty-two persons
accused of completely in the unlawful
traffic as technically described in
the indictments, "conspiring to cause
the interstate carriage of lottery adver-
tisements "-entered pleas of guilty and
were fined $4,000 in the aggregate by
Judge Toulmin of the United States
District Court for the Southern District
of Alabama.
The names of the accused against
whom fines were assessed and the
amounts they were condemned to pay
were as follows:
Fined $4,000 each-Edward ]. Dem
Arrest, John Morris Rogers, John M.
Demarest, Paul Conrad, Chapman Hy-
ans, Albert Baldwin Sr., Frank I.
Howard, Albert Hennen Morris, David
Hennen Morris, James E. Moore, Gen.
William l. Cabell, Edward l. Pinac,

son, JOS l. Shaw, William P. john
son, Jesse K. Bayliss, c. W. Bredow,
James Rea, Frank E. Johnson, Henry
J. Schott, Henry L. Plum, Abraham B.
Kaufman, Frank X Fitzpatrick.
Fined 5000 each-Wallace Master
son, VIM. P. Farmhouse, Thomas Will

derson.
Fined $4,000. Harry W. Henderson;
$500, Oscar Hanger; $500, Herman
Drummer; $2oo, John Hoag.
In consideration of the simple imposi-
ton OF fines without Imprisonment pen
alties the defendants not only consented
TO admit their guilt, but agreed TO sur
render to the government for destruc-
ton all the paraphernalia and apparatus
of the lottery and to dispose of the
printing plant at Wilmington, besides
pledging themselves never again to en-
gage in the illegal business.

WHO HAS BEEN SINGING NUDE

According to some of the Sanders
organs, somebody has been singing mud
or is getting ready to sling mud at their
candidate. Mud-slinging is unnecessary
and no gentleman will indulge in it.
The mud-slinger can not avoid bespat
tering with the mud, but it is perfectly
legitimate to criticise any candidate for
any office without mud-slinging. A cam
didate who can not stand the test of
criticism should step down and out.
Such a man is too good to indulge in
politics. If there has been no mud
singing, why should there be some an
ticipation of mud singing?
