the decision, and he said that he was
| glad that it was given. He believed
that 1t would remove much of the bv-
pocricy and deception that are now
practiced in order to evade the law.
de believed that many men would be
more honest now that they could get
liquor without having to do so much
lying about. He believed also the de-
clslon was shaping the way for a re-
peal of the law. The Prohibitionists
would see that it would be difficult to
enforce the present law, and would be
inclined to some more practicable
measure. The Anti -Prohibitionists
would be greatly encouraged, and
would see that they still had some law
on their side.
The general feeling throughout the
State, so far as can be ascertained, is
that this decision will make enforce
ment of Prohibition much more diff
cult and lead many who are now Pro-
hlbitlonists TO prefer some system by
which the State can keep the control
OF the Liquor traffic in its own hands.
HOW THE SUPREME COURTS ACTION
Is RECORDED IN MAINE.
Judge Richard Dresser. of Auburn.
who has given much attention to the
Maine ProhibitOry law, holds that the
recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court by no means invali-
dates the Maine PrOhibitory law, as
has been reported.
Judge Dresser says: "As represen-
ted in the published abstracts, the de-
cisiOn interferes with only part of
our PrOhibitOry system. 1t operates
against the seizure of liquor at railroad
stations, but does not prevent seizures
after the liquor has been brought to
the shops and transferred to vessels.
1t does not prevent seizures at all. 1t
merely opens way for the owners to
recover liquors by proving that they
are in the original packages
The burden of proof is on the liquor
dealer. 1t is not enough to show that
the packages bear certain marks. 1t
must be proven conclusively that they
are in original packages. Again, the
decision does not invalidate the single
sale by the glass and the nuisance
clauses of our PrOhibitOry law, which
are of greater value to US and are more
disastrous to liquor dealers than the
seizure clauses"

The Faithful Engineer.

Life is like crooked railroad, and the engineer
Who can make successful trip, from the cradle
10 the grave.
There are stations all along it, where at almost
any breath.
You'll be tagged to stop your engine. by the
passenger of death.
You may run the grades If trouble many days
and years with ease,
But time may have yon "side tracked" by the
sWltchmeu of disease
fOu may run the bridge of manhood, run the
tunnel long of strife,
Having God for your conductor, on the lightning
train of life
Always mindful of instructions watchful duty
never lack.
Keep your hand upon the throttle. and your eyes
upon the track
Name your engine True Religion" i" when vou'r
running day or night
Use the coal of faith for fuel, and she'll always
guide you right
You need never fear of sticking" on the I'D
grade, long the road
II you've got hope FOR a fremSn you can
always pull the load
You will often find distractions by the cunning
devil lain,
On fill, a curve, or somewhere, where he'll try
to ditch your train.
But you needn fear disaster, jerk her open let
For the king who ruleth all things, all his plans
will overthrow
Put your trust in COL, your Saviour, keep going
don look back
Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eyes
upon the track
When yOu ve made the trip successful and you're
at your journeys end,
You Will find The angels waiting to receive YOU as
friend
You'll approach the superintendent, who is
waiting for you now
With bleSse smile of welcome and a crown to
deck your brow.
Never falter in your duty, put your faith and
hope in Hin.
And you'll always find your engine in the best of
running trim
Ring your bell. and blow your whistle, never let
your courage slack.
Keep your hand upon the throttle and your ewes
upon the track.

Close of the Oyster Season.

Bearing out the figures and state.
ments made heretofore by the Ledger,
that the late oyster season has been
one Of the most profitable for the tong
ers ever known, the following from the
Kent News is quoted
Notwithstanding the gloom that has
settled upon our farmers on account OF
bad prices for grain and outlook for
peaches, there is in Kent one class OF
men who wear jovial smile and are
in happy frame of mind. This class
Is the Oystermen. Kent is fortunate
i'll having her shores washed by the
Chesapeake bay, Chester river and Sas-
safras river, out of which waters more
than two thousand of her residents de-
rive livelihood. This has been good
season for the watermen. The open
winter has enabled the tongers to
catch oysters every day with few ex-
ceptiOns. There were 312 longing H.
cences issued from the circuit court OF
Kent, and ut the close of the season
yesterday it was estimated by oyster
men in town this week that over 200,
600 bushels of oysters have been caught
by residents of this county from the
waters of the Chesapeake bay and
Chester river. The average price re-
ceived has been about forty to fifty
cents, making the total revenue de-
rived from this trade to be between
eighty and one hundred thousand dol
lars.

May Weddings.

When we consider the profoundly
serious nature of Marriage, that it is the
most important step that immortal be-
ings can possibly take that the conse-
quences of it are eternal in their inhu-
ence and effect that it may be either
the beginning of a career of unspeaka-
bic blesseduess, or the first step to the
untOward path, the end of which NAV
be unutterab-y sad, tragical and cal
dmitOus-when we consider these
things, it seems to be a matter of small
moment whether the nuptial chorus is
sung in May or December
The bright springtime Of the year
seems to be especially appropriate for
marriages. Albeit marriage is so SER
iOus and solumn matter it should be
attended as much as possible by cheer
ful and joyous circumstances.
How supremely interesting an event
is marriage Who does not inWardlv
pronounce benedictions upon the hap
py pair Who does not wish for them
/ all joy, blessedness and peace d? Full
OF sacredness and mystery is the new
life upon which they are entering.
Few, possibly, comprehend how sacred
and how mysterious it is. What relation
can be more beautiful Thrice blessed
is he to whom Providence has given
q golden hearted, divinely- endowed
wife to love aud honor him during all
the changeful years Of the earthly pill
grimage. Thrice blessed is she among
women who has won the honest. loval
love of true and faithful man. Should
not the sun shine on their wedding
day, aud nature herself chant their
epithalamium
In the midst Of the artifcialities, the
| complexities, the unreal realities of our
modern life, with its hard. practical.
mechanical. scientific ways and methods
love, as in the days of SOphOcles, is
still unconquerable in the fight. The
primal emotion still reigns in the
hearts of men and women. And wher-
ever in all the world two truly loving
hearts long to be united, not the stern
ness of unsympathetic parents, not the
designing selishness of other relatives,
! not inequalities of fortune, shall decree
/ perpetual separation.
Blessed are they who love and are
beloved, who find the crown and con-
summation of their mutual loves in
that blended existence of untroubled
peace, harmonious development, and
voluntarily, reciprocal trust and self
sacrifice, which should but seldom
does, characterize the welded lives of
men and women.
