THE sTROLLING PLAYERS DEFENSE
A Parody on Brutus' speech and a Re-
tort Excused Even q Poacher.

tort Excused Even a Poacher.
A strolling player was once caught per-
forming the part of a poacher, says the
Million, and the implacable ganekee
took him before the magistrates. One of
the country landlords sitting on the bench
asked him what right he had to kill a
hare, when the actor replied i'll the follow
ing parody on Brutus' speech TO the RO-
mans in defense of his killing Caesar;
"Britons, hungry men and epicures!
Hear me for cause-and be silent that you
may hear; believe me for my honOr-and
have respect for your honor that you may
believe; censure me i'll your wisdom
and awake your senses that you may be
better judges. If there be any in this as
sembly, any dear friend of this hare, to
him l say that poacher's love for hare
was not less than his. If, then, that
friend demands why poacher rose
against a hare, this is my answer: Not
that L loved hare less, but that loved eat
ing more. Had you rather this hare were
living than had died quite starving--or
that this hare were dead that l might live
jolly fellow? AS the hare was pretty
weep for him; as he was plump 1 rejoice
at it; as he was nimble l honor him, but
as he was eatable l slew him. There are
tears for his beauty, joy for his condition,
honor for his speed and death for his
toothsomeness. Who is here so cruel
would see me a starved man? If any.
speak, tor him l have offended. Who is
here so sick that does not love his stom-
ach? If any, speak, for him have 1
offended"
"You have offended justice, sirrah,"
cried one of the magistrates, out OF pa
tience with this long and strange ha-
rangue, which began to invade the time
which his own stomach told him had ar
rived.
"Then," replied the culprit, guessing
at the hungry feelings of the bench,
''since justice is dissatisfied it must needs
have something to devour. Heaven for
bid l should keep any justice from din
ner; so, if you please, Fll wish your wor-
ships good day and good appetite"
The magistrates, pleased with the ac-
tors wish, gave him a reprimand and let

tion-Pennsylvania Legislators
Discuss Quarantine Site.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. THE attempt
Of the city Of Chester to restra in Phil
adelphia from constructing a disinfecting
station on Tinicum island was yesterday
defeated by the refusal Of Judge Clayton,
of Delaware county to grant an injunc.
tion. The decision was rendered in
Media and was made on the ground of
no iurlsd iction.
The Judge said that he would not dis
miss the bill, but "if an attempt is made
to commit the the nuisance complained
of. at the place indicated, and it can be
made clear to the Court that what the
city proposes TO do will actually imperil

tion now prayed for not against the
city of Philadelphia, but against her
agents; or if necessary, against the in
fected ship proposed to be disinfected In a
place dangerous to. the health of the in
habitants of this county
The joint legislative committee, to
which the reports of the Quarantine
Station Commissioners were referred,
met yesterday at the City Hall. The
committee consists of Senators Penrose,
| Porter and Becker and Representatives
Walton Richmond and Peltz, of this
city, end Bliss, of Delaware; Ritter, Of
Lycoming, and Dubs, of York. In the
absence of Senator Penrose, who was
elected chairman, Senator Porter pre-
sided.
Representative Bliss stated that the
people Of his county would cheerfully
act in unison with those of Philadelphia
and agree to any plans advocated, but
would demand the removal of the quar-
antine station from it's present site. In
this respect they were thoroughly in
earnest.
Director Beitler then gave the meeting
a lengthy history of all the quarantine
stations from the establishment of the
first at the mouth of the river, a century
ago, up to the present time. BY the aid
of a map he also showed the various
changes of channels, and the position OF
every island available for quarantine
purposes In speaking OF the quarantine
station at the Breakwater, he said he
thought it was adequate in every partic
ular to disinfect vessels and care fol
persons infected and in this reference he
said "There are more cases of oontagi
Gus diseases in the Twenty eighth ward
than were ever handled at the Break
water station"

The movement to abolish the Office OF
assistant secretary Of state is likely
prompted by spite as harmless as it is
contemplate. The Legislature should
not lend itself to any petitions Of that
sort. The Office was created after due
consideration and for wise reasons The
governor of this state has a great deal
of correspondence not in the province Of
the secretary Of state, which he can.
not do for himself The state should
provide private secretary. but instead
of that the Office Of assistant was created
with the intention Of filing
both Offices. Precisely the same reason
ing which prompts any man, not ac-
tuated by sinister motives, TO adyo-
cate the abolition Of the Office of assist
ant secretary Of state could be used TO
abolish the Office Of governor and em-
power the secretary Of state to perform
the gubernatorial functions It is neces-
sary and proper that the affairs Of the
state should be conducted with the
strictest economy. but It is neither neces-
sary nor proper that useful Offices should
be abolished TO save three or four hun
dred dollars. It Is very important that
the Legislature should not be tricked by
the specious plea of economy to wreak O
petty vengeance Of one man upon
another.

The Reported Battle with wild Hogs at
Snow nm Scientifically Viewed.

The Reported Battle with wild Hogs at
Snow Hiu sisepticaIIy Viewed.
The New York Sun thinks that the
story of the wild hog chase at Snow Hill
which appeared in the EVENING JOURNAL
last night will excite the skepticism of
resident Eastern Shoremen. The "razoI-
back" hog, it explains, has been a denizen
of the Eastern Shore perhaps two cen.
turies, and he has never been an
object Of terror. He is an every day
tame hog, turned loose in the
pine forest to shift for himself
and bring up his family as
best he may, He is a tall gaunt, swift
creature, with long. slender legs. sides
distinctly ribbed, and a clearly articu-
lated spine that gives him his name.
He is near kin to the mast fed hogs
of Virginia, from which the famous
hams are obtained. 1t has long been
the custom in Maryland to turn out
hogs I'm this fashion and also to land
a few pigs ON uninhabited islands where
the creatures are left to increase as
they may.
A time honored Eastern Shore story
tells Of the Worcester county man who
visited one day with lively expectation
the island where he had left sundry pigs
two years before lie had scarce set
foot on the soil when be was greeted
with n chorus Of grunts from his pigs,
grown indeed but not increased in mum
bers. It was then that he realized that
he had failed to imitatein one important
particular the foresight of Noah.
