The club held regular meeting on
Monday evening, when the question of
weasels was brought up. AS this animal
is one of the greatest destroyers of game
it was decided to offer a reward of one
dollar for every weasel killed on the
hunting grounds of Mt Yeager, Braders-
vile, Obey Valley, Drifton Scales and
Buck Mountain. The bounty will be
paid to any person presenting the scalp
of the animal to Hugh Malloy, Freeland.
Thos. Wilkinson and Milton Rhodes
were appointed to investigate reported
violation of the game laws. Inasmuch
as dogs kill considerable young game
during the months of April, May and
June, all hunters are requested to keep
their dogs out of the woods during these
months. Six new members were elected.
The next meeting will be held on Tues
day evening at Wards Gallery.

The play which will appear here at
the Opera House on next Monday even
ing, January Is, is not the old Mugs
Landing" that was seen here two years
ago, but an entirely revised play. The
old familiar characters that helped to
make the play famous are still retained,
and many new ones have been added,
making it now one of the funniest and
jolliest plays of its kind seen on the
stage to-day. Phil. w. Peters, who no
doubt is well remembered here, is still
the Old Soldier of the company, and no
doubt is one of the best eccentric char
acter comedians in his line in the theatri-
cal profession. Among other clever
people in the company is Miss Nettie
Peters, who plays the part of Little
Wuggs, and who has been well spoken of
by the press in general. Her speciality
work is said to be the most unique ever
seen. Another prominent member is
Alf C. Pearce, the Lana Agent who,
though a stranger here, is very clever
performer and dancer. The Famous
Star Trio of Boston are also members of
this organization, in fact to sum it up the
company is much larger and better than
when last seen here, and and excellent
performance may be looked for.

John Moerlin, the Cincinnati mil
lionaire brewer, has had presented to
him a rare specimen Of bird. 1t is
an albino robin, and perfectly white
1t was shot last week by A. P. King,
the photographer, of Cheviot. 1t is a
great curiosity, and no other specimen
is known to exist in any of, the bird
collections of the country. The Ma

Over 250,O00 pounds Of beet sugar
have been produced at the Chino fac

this years crop, showing an enormous
growth of this industry in the state
Four hundred thousand acres of beets
were planted against 2,7OO last year.
The growers have netted $3.50 ton,
acres Of land and raised fifteen tons to
the acre, paid for this land with the
first beet crop. Since bounty was
placed on beet sugar the farmers of
California have been quick to see the
profit in this industry.
During thunderstorm the air is of
such varying density that thunder
peals are never heard at distance
corresponding to their violence. For
the same reason the roar of cannon on
a field of battle is not noticeable, and
the day has often been lost within a
short distance Of the reserves of the
defeated army. which were waiting for
the sound of artillery to call them to
the scene of action. The air at night
is more homogeneous, and hence
sounds are heard more clearly and
farther than in the daytime. In fog

deilections from the mist, and are soon
DESTROYED.

The Americans Toast.

Benjamin Franklin was dining with a
small party Of gentlemen when one of
them said: Here are three nationali-
ties represented. / am French, nv
friend here is English and Mr.. Franklin
is American. Let each propose toast. "
The Englishman rose and in the tone
of a Briton bold said: Here's to Great
Britain, the sun that gives light to the
nations of the earth"
The Frenchman was rather taken
back at this, but he proposed: "Here's
to France, the moon whose magic rays
move the tides of the world"
Franklin then rose and with an air of
quait molesty said: "Heres to George
Washington, the Joshua of America,
who commanded the sun and the moon
to stand still-and they stood still.

Married Women as Criminals.

The members of the Somerville club,
which is the woman's club of London,
have been discussing the burning ques-
ton of whether married or single
women have done most to advance the
cause of their sex. The discussion
took the turn of showing how matri-
mony tended to crime. Eve, first in
misfortune, had put Adam in the con-
dition of an evicted tenant, and from
Eve through the Jaels, the Delliahs,
not excluding Sarah, Rachel, and Re-
becca, down to Mrs. Maybrick. Mrs.
Osborne, Mrs. Montague, it has been
the married women who have come
under the law. AS one spinster
triumphantly cried: "No unmarried
woman was ever indicted for bigamy."
1t seems to be fact that, looking
down through the records of history,
no unmarried woman poses as an his
toric criminal. Charlotte Corday ran
her dagger through Marat, but she is
gloritieI! for the deed. ~ Y. SAM
