THE HUNTING SEASONHERE Sportsmen Off to Mountains, Forests and Streams. VOLUMINOUS LAWS! Many Hunters Coming from the North to the Rich Grcund of Virginia. May Be Entertained?Local Sports Going. "Get-away-day" is here. Under tho laws of tho State tho sports? men can now go out into field and wood, vale and mountain, and shoot whatever gamo comeg up that way. The lawB aro liberal and tho Stato Is full of game, likewise full of sportsmen, with fine dogs. There Is probably no State in the coun? try better stocked wjth gume, from door down than Virginia. Huntsmen from all over tho country como this way every season. And It is safe to. anticipate a greater Influx Oils' year than ever before. Sportsmen who revel in the sport, men of means .who como to tho great hunting grounds ot Virginia this year, wlil find in every particular a liberal law. The professional hunter, However, Is up against It, and the fact that he Is tip against It means a lot for the Richmond dealers in game. MAT NOT SHIP. Tho law prohibits a hunter shooting game hero for other markets. He can? not ship his stuff out of the State, and must, therefore, do business In the Rich? mond market, or somo other market In the Suite. Tho natural advantages, and facilities offered by Richmond will bring tho bulk of tho business here, and ? the merchants aro ready to handle the game to the best advantage for the hunter and the consumer. The facilities for accommodating tho Northern hunters are greater now than everbeforo . Farmers and planters with big preserves are arranging to entertain the visitors', and many letters and telegrams of inquiry are being received dally from hunters who are coming here for the season. They are asking for accommoda? tions and for markets. Both of theBO can bo easily secured by communicating with Mr. M. D. Hart, one of the best known sportsmen In the Stato, at No. 1118 East Main Street, Rich? mond. OFF FOR HUNTING GROUNDS. Already hundreds of hunters are on tbelr way to the hunting grounds. Guns havft been put into condition, dogs turned loose, and game bags hauled uut and placed In readiness. There is not a State on tlie Atlantic Coast that offers the quan? tity and variety of game birds as does Virginia, and the fact Is recognized all over the country. Hunters como here every season from all over the United States. This year piomlses to bo tho banner year In this respect. The hunting grounds of the Chlcka homlny, the James, the York, the Poto? mac and the groat nelds along the Pe? ninsula and Tidewater" will be alive'from' now to the close of'the' season, while those who go after larger game In the mountains and forests will revel tor many weeks.

BEAUTIFUL BRONZE JEFFERSON MEDALS Souvenirs Are Being Given to Contributors fo.Bui.d-. ing Fund. Mr. R. C. Kasoy, local representative of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Associa? tion, has received from the headquarters of that organisation some of the beauti? ful bronze Jefferson) medals which are to be given to contributors to the fund for tho erection of the memorial. The- me? morial Is to be a magnificent building, modeled on the Parthenon, and will bo located In Washington. Many distin? guished men of this and other States of the Union aro enlisted in the movement to raise tho fund raxiulslte to carry out tho de-sign for the building. One of the i means adopted to sectire tho amount necessary is by popular subscription, and as a small Inducement to subscribers, these medals have been struck from tho United States mint by special act of Congress, and aro models of art. To each subscriber of one dollar to the memo? rial fund ono of the bronze medals will bo. presented, and a silver medal of the same dimensions and design will bo pro pared to be donated to subscribers of a lurger amount. The bronze medal Is slightly larger than a silver dollar, and of about the same thickness. On'one side Is an effigy of Jef? ferson In bas relief, presenting the head ? and shoulders of tho great constructive ' statesman. It Is modeled on the best like? ness extant of tho statesman and sago. Around tho elligy Is the Inscription, "Tribute to the Author of the Declaration of Independence, 1776." On the margin of tho reverse side, and just Inside the clrcumferenco, are the words, "The Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association of the United States, 1&03," and within tha circle is this quotation from the Declara? tion: "We hold these truths to be solf evldcnt: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their. Creator with certain inalienable rights. that among these are life, liberty and the pur? suit of happiness." The modaisTLre faultltwsly executed, and in a few years will be rare, and of great value. The medal cannot be duplicated, nor can thoy be made for. any reasonable sum, the government la. this case; donat? ing the medals to the association. Thoy could not be made and sold for a dollar. Mr. Kasey, who Is employed in the office of tho Register of the Land Office. has these medals, and is receiving sub? scriptions to the stock of the Memorial Association, being Its only authorized repreesntatlvo In Richmond. It Is to be expected that Virginians will contribute liberally to this movement to honor one of the greatest of Virginians, and espe? cially as the majestic memorial Is to be reared Just across tho Potomac from the Virginia hills. Mr. Kasey will be glad to receive sub? scriptions to the stock, and to furnish | the medals to subscribers. They are well ? worth tho money, and are to be had on no other terms, being presented only to sub? scribers to the stock. ARE YOU GOING SOJTH?

MACY'S CATALOGUE How Strikes and Delays Interfered With its Publication. NEW YORK, Oct. 81.?There has been considerable talk in cortaln clrclds anent the publication of a catalogue of R. H. Macy & Co. When the firm moil-ed from Its old stand on Fourteenth Street to Its groat building on Herald Square. It announced Its.intention to open a mall order department, this, method of doing business having been a specialty In cer? tain Western-cities. When Macy & Co. determined to make a bid for the mall order business it sot out to present to buyers throughout the country an ade? quate idea of the vastness of tho new establishment and the great variety of Its wares through the medium of a cata? logue. Artists, photographers and en? gravers were employed. Thoy went to work at tho task of Illustrating the goods In an establishment, the floor space of which Is equal to twenty-four acres of ground, or over ten city blocks. Then troubles began. It was not an easy thing to picture the miles of counters over which it Is estimated goods are sold (daily that require the labor of over fi.000 'persons, and which It would take a per? son one hour to pass,', walking quite briskly. Delay followed delay, occasion? ed by strikes and mishaps;.and the date fixed for Issuance of tho catalogue came and wont. WTien Macy & Co. discovered that It would be Impossible to Issue the cata? logue on tho contemplated lines on time, It changed Its plans; and now. Instead of issuing a costly publication at fifty cents per copy, it has put out free to all applicants living outsldo .a radius of"-twenty-flvo miles, one of the beBt catalogues ever Issued. ? By the art of the artl3t. photographer, etcher and engraver this greatest of Now York's department stores presents to the view of the reader1 of the cata? logue a picture of the mammoth estab? lishment, which is even more perfect ana complete than the Impression gained by walking through It w-ould be. EvI dently. tho aim of its projectors Is to | paraphrase an old snylng. if the bUyer cannot como to the store, the store can go to the buyer. It certainly accom? plishes this. The aataloguo used In connection with the mall order depart? ment affords to the resident of cities and towns distant from Horald Square facilities to make purchases fully equal to those offered to the customer at tho counter. Working In connection with the mnil ord??r business the firm has established a department of deposits. The idea Is nrlprinal with this firm, andi, curiously enough, for some reason or other, has neverw been taken up by tho Western houses. Money can be doposlted with R. H. Macy & Co., and while on deposit balances draw Interest at four p?r cent. Goods purchased can bo charged to the account, and purchasers receive the ben? efit of the low figures which only pre? vail where goods are bought and sold on a cash basis. JOHN MARTHOL.
