A FLAW IN THE BIRD LAW

Justice Pritchett's ruling in the
bird law cases yesterday created
something to talk about on the
streets. At first there was some dis
position to criticise HIM, but care
full reading of the statute seems to
bear MIN out. The lawyers, we I'M
derstand, are divided on it. 1t was
evidently the intention of the franz
ers of the law to prohibit hunting,
but the statute does not do go. II
says 'klll or shoot, trap or net" &c.
Mr.. Prltchett decided that shooting,
where no damage was done, was not
a violation. A man might set a trap
but if he caught no birds he would
not be guilty. On the other hand,
to shoot at a bird is clearly a VIOLA
ton IN the intent of the law, but
these men, 80 they say, were not tried
for Intent but for specific act, viz !:
shooting or killing birds. AS in one
case none were killed they were ad
judged not guilty. Had the word
"huntlng" peen incorporated in the
state the case would have been clear
er, though man might say he was
not hunting birds, but that when
one came ill sight he shot at it but
missed. TRAP, net, kill, or shoot
with intent TO kill" would have
made 1t plain.-Greensboro Record.

LORRAINE FOREVER GERMAN.

Emperor William Enthusiastic Over the

BIZ Gable to the United Press.
METZ, Sept 6. 1898. Emperor William
entertained last evening at banquet by
the municipal authorities of Metz and
the high officials of Lorraine. In his
speech he thanked the people of Lorraine
for the cordial welcome which they had
given him and for the repeated demon
strations of loyalty which they had made
daily during his 80 ojourn at Urville.
Metz, he said, had shown herself to be
especially devoted to the EN-
peror and Empire. By their
enthusiasm In the last few days
the people of Lorraine had given proof
that they were happy in belonging to
Germany. They had learned TO apprsci-
ate German unity and the greatness Of
the Empire. They now declared them
selves TO be thoroughly loyal and desir-
GUS of laboring in peace and enjoying
unmolested what had been earned for
them. The unity of Germany ensured
the keeping of the peace. Lorraine
would forever remain German, protected
by God and the German sword.

NEWARK, September 8, 1893.-But for
the kindly interest Of his neighbors Stanis-
laus Brodiczek, of No. 1927 Fifteenth ave-
nue., and his entire family would probably
by this time have been translated into the
hereafter
1t appears that Stanislaus put in Labor
day gathering mushrooms in the neigh
borhood of Irvington. He worked assidu-
ously and gathered goodly quantity,
which he brought home to his wife, who
cooked them, as the saying goes, ito the
queens taste" The entire family, con-
sisting of himself, his wife and three chill
dren. aged respectively six, eleven and
thirteen years, partook heartily of the
repast and retired to bed, feeling none the
worse for their repast.
When morning came the neighbors
noticed an unusual auieGude in the Bro
diczek household. Seeing no member of
the family about they suspected some
thing was wrong. They knocked, and
receiving no response. broke in the door,
to find that the entire family was sick.
Mrs Brodiczek was nearly dead. She was
unable to move or speak, and it looked as
if her death was only question of
minutes.
After much hard work she was brought
slightly around and hopes are entertained
for her recovery. Stanislaus, thought not
quite SO bad, was also in precarious con-
dition, but will doubtless recover The
children, who had not eaten SO heartily OF
the repast, were also treated and are little
the worse of their experience.
The doctors state that there were some
toadstools gathered with the mushrooms
and it was those that caused the trouble.
