The New Philadelphia"

'srhe New Philadelphia" is the title of
deeply interesting article which will
appear in the May Cosmopolitan, and
is from the pen of Mr.. Henry C.
Walsh. To those who are not entire
ly familiar with "the city of brotherly
love" of to-day, and who taking the
joke-maker at his word entertain the
erroneous idea that the third largest
IN the Union is at best but a sleepy
and unenterprising town, the Cosmo-
politan's article will prove veritable
revelation, The great change that has
been wrought during the past decade
IN the external appearance of Philadel-
phia is ably set forth, and greatly aug
mented by the splendid illustrations
drawn by Mr.. Harry Fem. A glance
at these mastery drawings shows that
in beauty of architecture the solidity
and moderness of construction and
design in her homes, clubs and
commercial buildings. Philadelphia
stands at the very head of flourishing
American cities, The business, social
and intellectual advancement of this,
perhaps the most habi able of cities, is
no less marked that is its mere outward
progression. Doubtless too much at
tentlon has been paid to other more
ostentatlously progressive cities-es-
peclally of the West to the exclusion
OF the Quaker City and its marvellous
growth. The article in the MAY Cos
neopoltto", however, places Philadel-
phia before the public in its true light
as one of the best governed, most en-,
terprising and socially, commercially
and politically progressive cities of the
United States.

More Fish Law Tinkering.

House bill No. IS, which has passed
the House and been amended in the
Senate on second reading should be
defeated. 1t is supplement to the
existing fish law and extends the open
season for catching pike and pickerel
from January 1, the date at which it
now closes, until February I. This
makes the season in which these fish
are protected by law one month short
er
1t is clearly the object of the author
of the bill to extend the season for
fishing through the ice on the waters
of the Commonwealth, a method of
depleteing the waters of Pennsylvania
of these game fish that should not be
tolerated at ALL If any amendment
of the law in this respect is needed it
is one closing the season December 1,
one month earlier than now instead
of one month later.
There is no system Of fishing that is
so fatal to the pickeral of the small
lakes of Northern Pennsylvania as
fishing through the ice. Large num-
bers of people idle during the winter
season formerly engaged in this meth
cd of fish killing for profit One per
son can put out and watch score or
more Of lines baited with minnows.
With half the idle boys and men in
the neighborhood of one of these lakes
engaged in the business the waters of
almost any pond or lake can be deple
ted of these fish in single winter.
Ice fishing is fun for the boys, doubt
less, but it is death to the fish, end if
it is desirable to preserve and propa-
gate fish in the interest of the public
ice fishing should be prohibited as rig
idly as the use of nets, fish baskets
and eel weirs. There should be no
tinkering of the fish laws in the direc-
ton of easy fish killing and extending
the winter season is one of the worst
amendments that could be made to
the law in this direction. Times.
