SELF DENYING HUNTING OF DEER
The Rutland News makes the move
suggestion that deer hunters in Rutland
county pledge themselves not to shoot
doe, in spite Of the fact that recently
enacted statute gives them that right
by 50 doing, declares The News, the
legislature OF 1905 viii be rebuked and
the hunters would be rendering inyalu-
able service in preserving the deer Of
the state. Although the intent Of the
suggestion is admirable, one cannot rea-
sonably expect that il win be carried
out to any general extent. There will
be hunters here and there who are
thoughtful enough Of the future to recall
that the extensive killing of the does
means the death Of their sport, and they
viii save their shot for the bucks. At
the same time there will be others--and
they will be far in the majority
win be needless Of the final results and
anxious only for the life of deer, wheth-
FER 1t be male or female Nevertheless,
that former class Of hunters can do
something toward combating the de-
structive force Of the new law, while, il
may be. the force of their example would
have more powerful influence than we
anticipate at this time Their pledge
viii do some good at least, and hence the
contemporary's suggestion ought to be
well received BY them.

then and there were no restrictions at all
on them or the summer gardens which
were always open. We used to 20 on
target excursions when we wanted an
outing. going up to Jones' wood or over
to Joe Crocheron's on Long Island. and
sometimes we went over to Mohawk Park
on the Palisades: There wasn't any more
drinking then than there is now-in pro
portion, that is.
Il don't remember just when the Ital-
ians began to supplant the Irish as day
labt ers in New York. There were no
labor unions when l first came to this
city. They started. l think about 1852.
The city changed the street lamps
from oil to gas about 1854 or 1855. be-
lieve. and then the lamplighters with their
little ladders soon disappeared.
There was a great increase in the
civil war. Before that real estate had
stood still a long while. and there was
nothing doing at all. People were selling
property In farms almost entirely then.
Even the climate seems TO have
changed since my early days. Then
remember that We used to have lots of
sleighing every wihter-plenty of snow,
and sleighing practically all winter long;
great sleighing. 1t doesn't seem to me
that there is nearly as much snow now
as there used to be.

you could about do anything you liked.
There was no Tenderlon district at
that time. the name not being coined until
quite recently. OF course. some streets
were considered undesirable, and Mercer
street was quite bad street. New York
was a very rough town in some respects
then. and immoral literature was sold
quite openly.
THE first leading public man I remem-
Der was Mayor Fernando Wood. leader of
Tammany Hall. I didn't know any of
the leading republicans in those days:
that came later.
THE mail was not distributed by car
riers in my early days but people had to
go after it themselves. 1t was a slow
process to send local mail matter, and
sometimes 1t took a week to get a letter.
Il remember Barnum's Museum and
Woods Museum and the Christie Min
strels. l met Barnum down where the
Herald building used to be. at the corner
OF Ann street and Broadway. Then came
Harrigan and Hart later on after that
and the MINISTRIES.
I'VE had no political clubs In New York
then as we have now. People talked poll
tics on the street and in their homes, not
In clubs. The Tammany headquarters

What amazes me more than anything
else is o'see old men of seventy-five or
eighty putting money into tremendous en-
terprises. Why do they do it? No otner
people do it, other people let the younger
men do that sort of thing. But here when
a man gets to be sixty-five or seventy he

This city is growing north rapidly.
and In my opinion the northern limit
within the next fifty years will be about
up to Poughkeepsie-that is, half way be-

taxes Of the state. and I would advocate

that each locality ought to pay for its

On being asked about the method Of

Il don't remember much about that.

awful lot of extravaganza In the matter
