Want New Bounty Law.

At a meeting Of the fish and game
commission in the House chamber at
the capitol, it was decided to have
Commissioner Thomas Holland draw
up a draft OF bounty bill and sub
nit 1t to the Legislature In preference
to the measure already introduced by
Representative Mann. Mr.. Mann's
hill does not provide for the repeal
ing of the bounty law, in effect since
1893. Should Mann's measure pass
and become a law, and the old law
still remain in force, 1t would enable
killers of predatory animals to col
lect double bounty-one bounty for
each law. 1t was also advocated to
make the fishing season from May 1st
to December 3lst, instead of as at
present. May 25th to November 3Oth.

and continuance of the present seas.

passage of such law as an out.
rageous effort to create new Jobs re-
gardless of the best interests of the

against this bill, but 1t was passed by
vote of 20 to 10.

THE OLDEST HORSE IN TOWN.
Family Pet Shot By S. P. c. A. Agent
Animal ParalYzed.

Stonewall'' the oldest hose in town,
named in honor of the great and ia
nous Stonewall Jackson, was shot to
death yesterday by the agent of the S.
P. c. A. at the request of the owners.
The horse was between 35 and 81
years old, and was owned for many
years by the late Benjamin C. Mar
tin. The animal, which was a great
pet of the family, was suffering from
paralysis in the hind limbs and back.
and was put to death to put him out of
misery. For more than a year the
old horse had been a pensioner, and
was fed and cared for while he did no
work but stood in the stable or was
turned out to Craze.
Old Stonewsll was a great pet of the
family and there were tears shed at
his death yesterday. The horse was
shot in the most humane manner and
died almost Immediately.

CHANGES IN TEAM.
Injuries To Navy Squad Causes
Shifting OF Players.

Gilchrist, who has played right END
on the Naval Academy team for the
last two seasons, was placed at quar-.
terback yesterday, injuries to Leonard
and Sowell, who have been playing
the position, making it necessary to
find new man.
Gilchrist is a powerful man, weigh
ing about 10 pounds, and will be val
liable in interference and on the de-
fence, but he has had no experience at
quarterback or any other position be-
hind the line. McReavy was moved
from right halfback to right end.
Rhodes, who was displaced by Nichols
early in the week, is back at full
back, and Nichols has gone to right
halfba k.
Nichols viii probably be a perma-
nency in the back field. He is a fine
end runner and dodger and all the
other backs are of the line-smashing
type. Formations will also be used.
which will permit McReavy to carry
the ball. The first secret practice of
the week will take place today.

AFTER DEED IS DONE
An Extra Session OF Legislature A
Means To Deprive Governor
GOldsbOrOugh OF His APP
polntment.
ITO vICTORS BELONG SPOILS"
What A Republican Thinks OF Method
OF Powers That Be.

To Editor of The Evening Capital:
Will YOU allow me the following
space under the title after the
deed is done" Tex post facto.l
All this talk of an extra session of
the Legislature simply 10 deprive Mr..
Goldsborough of the appointments al
low him under the law, and to surrep-
itiously obtain them for themselves, is
perhaps a better index into the char
acter of the men who dominate the
Democratic party of Maryland than
has heretofore been given to an OBJ
serving public and to the eyes of the
country at large.
These offices were part of the con-
tract and very important item in
the fight from which we have just
emerged.
And to give out good Democratic
doctrine how about those memorable
words of the Senator from the State
of New York, Hon. VIM. L. Marcy,
when in reply to Senator Clay over this
very thing (the offices in his State,
New York Marcy said: at may be,
sir, that the politicians of New York
| are not so fastidious as some gentle
men are, as to disclosing the principle
on which they act. They boldly
preach what they practice. When
they contend for victory they avow
their intentions of enjoying the fruits
of it. If they are defeated, they ex-
| pect to retire from office; if they are
successful, they claim, as a matter
of right, the advantage of success.
"They see nothing wrong in the rule
that to the victor belongs the spoils
of the enemy"
This last phrase ITO the victor be-
longs the spoils" has been the slogan
of every Democratic campaign since
it was uttered 1882 by my grandfath-
er, and are the Democrats of Maryland
| going to be so yellow" now as to re-
| pudiate it?
What would 1.-THE good people of
Maryland have thought in the days
gone by of man who, after losing
in gentleman's game of poker, a horse
rae, or in test of physical prov
ess for steak, and after so losing
| to rails at dark of night and steal
the wager from his opponent S
| pocket?
What would the standing of that
person have been in the community
in the days of our fathers and grand
| fathers?
For shame! gentlemen, for shame
act like men, not empiric and charla-
tan.

SOME BASEBALL
 FANS ARE THESE

San Francisco, July H-"What is the standing of the clubs of the National and American leagues?" was the first question of inhabitants of the Pribdloff islands when they gained close touch with the outside world for the first time through the new navy wireless station.
 The United States supply ship Homer which arrived from Alaska yesterday brought word of the successful instalia tion of the wireless station on St. Paul island by the United States cruiser Buff falo. The islanders gathered to celebrate. When the naval operator tuned up his instrument, he said: "I have Honolulu now What news do you fellows want?"
 All the baseball news you can get" the islanders answered in chorus.
 After sending the club standings, the Honolulu operator attempted to send news of the coronation of King George.
 Ditch that, exclaimed one of the islanders.
 Ask him for Cobbs' batting average and all about Eddie Collins. Hons Wag- ner and Red Dooin. The coronation can wait

The Bold Barons Take a Tumble

Speed judiciously applied is an asset of inealculable value.
 But when permitted to run wild 1t is a handicap.
 Henry Meek will make more runs in season than MT. Speedway who knows nothing more than the art of sprinting.
 That offer of s5 per home run, made by an enterprsing powder company, caused one Baron to dislocate his shoul- der. and others to throw away countless opportunities to win ball games.
 Aspiring young ball players receive as much harm from reading of the wonder full base running of Ty Cobb as the To- year-old who digs deeply into Diamond Dick"
 In yesterdays game Johnston attempted to stretch three-bagger into home run, and Elliott remained on third instead of scoring from second on hit which Bayless juggled.
 Holding Elliott on third in the ninth in- ming was proper in every respect.
 Bayless got away with a play for the making of which he should be fined. Ap- parently there was no chance of him SCOT ing with Mcbride, in short distance of the plate, holding the ball, than had Ellam held it.
 Had Elliott caught McBride's throw the Gulls would not have won.
 Ellam, inrth fifth, attempted to score from third on a hard hit ball which Shortstop Myers fielded cleanly.k
 In the third Phelan attempted to steal third and paid the forfeit. In the seventh he was caught off first
 The daring ball player who uses judg- ment cannot remain long in the minor leagues.
 A number of knockers aided the Gulls in winning the game by jeering at Moles- worth without rhyme or reason.
 We begin to believe that the associa- ton was only bluffing when 1t promised to rid the city of the baseball gamblers.
 We believe Judge Lane would at least make an effort to put an end to the operation of the sharks if the associa- ton would request him to do so.
 Since becoming manager Swacina has stopped the practice of catching thrown balls with one hand.
 They are our noble fourth placers this morning.
 This afternoon they may go to sleep in the second division.
 Bobo is authority for the statement that a three-base hit with nobody on is not near so valuable as a scratch sim gle in the pinches.
