THE right spirit of improvement
has surely and firmly taken root in
this town. On every hand the eye
behols old buildings being remodled,
new ones advancing to completion,
and others being planned. So it is.
Old fogyism is being routed from its
long slumber to gaze on scenes that
ut first seem a dream. There are
strips of land in this town that have
royal and ridiculous prices set upon
them because the owners believe
they must sell at any price, Such
may be so, but we fear not-for
many years. They will still have
to be cultivated for onions and po-
tatoes, rather than have buildings
erected thereon, that will lend at.
Effectiveness to the spot and return a
comfortable per centum. It is well
however, that we do not all see
things in the same light, because i
such were fact, buildings would
adorn our streets instead of trucl
patches. This is only a ioke-in tn,
way Of pointer.

THE constitutionality of the fish
cry law in this State is being tested.
Three Jersey fishermen were arrest
ed by the Sheriff of Kent county
this week. What the outcome of
the whole thing will amount to is
clouded, and fine legal points will
be exchanged in the melee. Opin-
lions expressed are numerous and
varied, many contending that the
water should be free to all for the
purpose Of taking fish. However
this may be, we can only add that
rs long as our Legislature has seen
fit to enact a law for the better pro-
lection Of our fishermen, at the same
time believing it TO DC constitu-
tional, the arrests just made seems
but just and right. Certainly a
State should be given the power OF
protecting interests that profit her
citizens.

THERE has been considerable talk
acout the coming Spring Fair of the
Cecil County Agricultural Society to
take place early in June. The ex-
hibits will consist of Agricultural
Implements, of all descriptions,
flowers, etc. Special features will
be in attendance, together with not
able trotters. The trials of speed
will undoubtedly surpass all former
meetings, as the purses offered will
bring good horses. There will be
running as well as trot;ing races,
and the program will be so nicely
arranged as to insure pleasure for
all. As Spring Fair is new de-
parture with the Association, it will
require some tact and strict adher-
ence to economy. Would it not be
well to require all stockholders to
pay their admission during the
progress of the Spring Fair? Prob
ably five hundred or more persons
hold stock, and if each of these
would contribute, say 1925, it
would materially assist the Associa-
ton. We believe that all would
favor the movement Let the ques-
ton he raised.

AFTER long and stubborn fight
on the part of the Philadelphia
weavers, many of them returned to
work this week, In most cases
before going to work the employees
were required to sign compacts in
which the knights of Labor" were
renowned. The majority of the
strikers have been out five months,
and it is very questionable if the
lay Off has been profitable. It is
well, no doubt, for skilled mechanics
to be banded together for protec-
ton, but it seems to us that matters
are most often carried far beyond
the limits Of good Judgment and
common sense. While strikes may
profit leaders" it must naturally
bring distress upon the families of
many of the operatives.

FALL OF THE ACADEMY.
The Home of the Italian Opera To BE Con-

The Home of the Italian Opera To BE Con-
verted Into a Dime Museum.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
New YORK, Feb 14.-The fashionable owners
of the Academy of Music are astounded to learn
that the premises famous as the home of Italian
opera in New York are to be turned into dime
museum. 1t has been the custom to rent the
house for ball and other occasional purposes,
without much regard to the quality of the enter
tainment to be given; and when William Austin
applied for possession from March % until the
late spring season of opera should begin he was
carelessly permitted to become the tenant on
his vague statement that dramatic performances
were to occupy the stage But Austin belongs
to the Boston firm of Austin e Stone, who run
ten-cent show in that city, and also control
many Of the human monstrosities on exhibition
throughout the country The intention is moth
ing less than to make a cheap museum out of the
sacred Academy The opening attractions will
consist, in part. of a dog show; and there will be
a fat woman a midget, tattooed man, and,
chiefly, marvelouely misshapen negro, brought
from Africa, and to be shown as the Missing
Link. The stage show will consist of singing,
dancing and gymnastics The best seats in the
parquet will be twenty cents, and the private
boxes, which for opera are restricted to occu-
pancy by the wealthy proprietors will be- under
the contract, at the command of the owners It
is expected that they will remain vacant The
managing directors are blamed for letting such q
show In, but there seems to be nothing that the
malcontents can do about it. II suppose" said
August Belmont when asked if any action was
contemplated, that we will give the house
good fumigation after these people quit, and
that's about all that seems possible" 1t is pos
sible, however that the terms of the lease can be
SO construed as to limit the term to two weeks.

THE DYNAMITE COWARDS.

Anonymous Threats Against witnesses-Re-
wards to Courageous Policemen.
LONDON Feb. 14-The authorities have again
received letters containing warning that St.
Pauls Cathedral, and the Bank Of England will
be attacked with dynamite.
Detectives Roper and Wilson, two Of the gov
ernment's principal witnesses against Cunning
ham and Burton, are annoyed by the frequent
reception of threats against their lives
Recently these threats have been written
on paper stamped with skull and cross
bones, and apparently issued by some murderous
organization. Detective Roper has received a
letter advising him to order his coffin, and as
suring him that he would ''meet his fate" before
next Saturday.
The new regulations for the admission of peo-
pie to the House of Commons are so stringent as
to amount almost to prohibition. Members who
ask permission from the Speaker to introduc
persons will be held answerabe for the conduct
of the persons so admitted. Strangers will not
be allowed to promenade on the terrace, even if
escorted by members.
Members of the press holding seats in the

sion to thu inner lobby of the House of Com.

BURIED UNDER AN AVALANCHE.
A Mining Town Overwhelmed by a Snow
Slide and Sixteen Lives Lost.

SALT LAKE. U. T., Feb 14-The startling
town of Alta had been nearly wiped out of ex-
istence by an avalanche. 1t had been showing
for week, and the snow was twelve feet deep
on the level, and is still showing hard. Last
night, soon after o'clock, tremendous volume
of snow swept down over the Emma mine
works. doing no damage there except taking the
smoke-stack along. Then it struck the town,
crushing about threefourths of it; but, fortu-
nately, many of the houses were deserted for the
winter. The place is built at the foot of converg-
ing gulches, and slides have a fair mark.
fuckers boarding house was swept away and his
hotel crushed. The Vallejo works. including
the buildings and tramways were crushed. Two
men at this mine happened to be in the drift and
escaped injury Strickley 6 fuckers and Wal
laces stores were injured slightly. Powerss
putcher-shop and Simpsons drug store are the
only buildings that entirely escaped. A large
portion of the lost were in the boarding house
and the hotel Twenty eight in all were buried,
but twelve were dug out alive this
morning The remainder are undoubtedly
dead. Men from the City OF Rocks
mine and the Evergreen mine formed the dig.
ging force to get out the bodies. Three had been
taken out at last accounts amid much difficulty,
and in heavy storm and severe cold. Timothy
Madden was not dead when brought out, but
died soon after. The bodies of James Watson
and Mrs. John Ford were also taken out dead
