that we are not fully prepared to carry
out in practice. You will find in our
store just what we tell you We have. A
large stock selected with special
reference to the needs and tastes of this
community and the requirements Of the
spring trade. And the beauty of it all

How to Cook a Goose.

We find quite supply of geese In
our market selling at reasonable pri.
ces. The goose was favorite bird
with our forefathers and they knew
the art of cooking it to perfection. As
the art seems to be lost to the present
generation, we give our readers the
old recipe, as follows: When the goose
is to be baked fill it with tart apples,
peeled and cored, and place some ap-
Piles il the pan. French or italian
chestnuts make also an excellent filing
About three pms Of chestnuts viii
be required. They must be skined
and then boiled until they are nearly
soft. Stew an onion il butter and
mix with the chestnuts, seasoning to,
taste.

Arrested for Illegal Dredging.


The oyster police steamer Cover
nor Thomas, Capt. f. a. Griffith,
which left here on Tuesday for a
cruise on the oyster bars assigned to
her district, arrested the crew of the
sloop "John a. Shinn,n and several
other oyster dredgers in the Chop
tank river, yesterday afternoon, and
took the vessels and their crews to
Cambridge for trial. He charges
that all the boats taken are over ten
tons bnrthen and by law are excluded
from dredging in the river on account
of size. The boats are all said to be
licensed. When license is granted
to dredge in the Choptank, the party
applying is compelled to exhibit his
custom house license, which is the
guide by which the clerk is governed
in fixing the price, and also in determ-
ining whether the vessel is of proper
tonnage. The discrepancy sometimes
lies in the issuing of the custom
house license.
Commander Waddell received tel
egram from Captain Griffith today in
forming him of the above arrest. He
says the vessels were licensed to carry
ten tons, while their custom house
tonnage was twenty-five.
