EAsToN, ND, March 1.-THE usual
stir in Democratic politics in Talbot
county has begun. The Legislature having
fixed the terms of the county commits
sioners who were elected in 1891 at four
years for each, the county ticket will be
a very short one, containing only six
candidates, viz; State Senator, three
members of the House of Delegates,
sheriff and county surveyor The most
interest will centre around the senator
ship. The fact that the Senator elected this
year will be in office when the time comes
to elect the next United States Senator
from the Eastern Shore adds to its i'm
portance and enhances the interest of
the people about it. 1t is well known
that Senator Charles H. Gibson will be
q candidate to succeed himself. With
this in view, it is claimed by the Sena-
tors closest friends that the state Sena-
tor elected this year should be not only
nominally, but ardently and historically
a personal and political friend and fol-
lower of the Talbot United States Sena-
tor. This sentiment is quite prevalent,
but it Is not unanimous, nor is there
unity among the Gibson Democrats as to
who their candidate for State Senator
will be or ought 10 be.
An attempt is being made to concen-
trate one wing of the party ON eXComp-
troller J. Frank Turner Besides Mr.
Turner there are frequently mentioned
for the Democratic Senatorial nomina-
Leonard, of Easton; Frank A. Benson,
James NJ. Lowe and Ormond Hammond
from st. Michaels district; William

Hundred. OF these the candidacy of
Messrs. Tilghman, Turner, Leonard,
Hammond and Wrightson have been
positively announced either by the can.

Many of Gen. Joseph b. Seth's friends
say they will put him in the field for
state Senator if he is not reappointcd

BORDER LINE SCHOOL QUESTION,
CENTREvILLE, MD, March 17.-By
the school contract between Caroline
and Queen Anne's counties, made
March, 1891, it was agreed that pupils
residing near the dividing line would be
permitted to attend whatever school Of
either county was most convenient, and
that the county which sent the larger
number of pupils to the other should
pay an annual amount of 50 for every
pupil in excess. The Caroline school
board revoked this contract, but it will
continue in effect until the close OF the
present school year.

THE ROD.
The Fish Parasite-Opening of the
Lakes.

Lakes.
The Fish Commissioners are making
matters decidedly warm for those who still
persist in breaking the game and fish laws.
Several fishermen who ply their vocations
on the Sacramento ard San Joaquin rivers
have been bagged by Deputies Babcock and
Wilson recently, and with the exception of
one or two men all of them paid the fines
that were imposed by The Justices who tried
their cases.
Last Monday prominent local fish mer-
chant was fined $40 in the Police Court for
having striped bass under the weight al
lowed by law in his possession. The Judge
admonsned the transgressor Of the law and
minated that the next man who would
come before him would receive the extreme
penalty of the law, which is $500.
The cold weather which has prevailed for
some weeks past has not, by any means,
Improved trout fishing. Reports to hand
from different coast streams are not of a
fattering nature, but the admirers of ang-
Ing are in hopes of a change for the better
next month.
The Commissioners forwarded 10 Profess
sor Jordan last week some specimens Of
trout caught IN the streams of the Santa
Cruz Mountains. and which were covered
with parasites resembling fly blows.

Leland Stanford University at Palo Alto
said:

mnnicstion relative to diseased trout. On
examination of the specimens / found them
infested with crustacean parasite both in
their gills and on their fAs. These small
animals are well known as fish parasites,
one allied species attacking the European
brook trout They are extremely prolific
as one may judge by the two long egg sacs
which you will notice on nearly all of the
specimens, and l know of no way in which
they can be successfully cOmbated. They
ln1ure the trout by sucking its juices. but do
not otherwise unfit them for food. A
similar parasite, in smaller numbers, is
found on the marine fish exl osed for sale in
the San Francisco markets."
Among the many angling exhibits at the
forthcoming Columbian Exposition will be
one Of particular interest to hy fishermen.
The NaitOnian Manufacturing Company of
Shicago Will give an exhibition of Ttificial

this description cannot be overrated. The

FOOTBALL.
Association Games at Central Park
To-Day.

Favored with exceptionally fine weather,
the Thistles' and Wanderers joint excursion
to San Jose on Sunday last was bowling
success, and the fine scientific exhibition
given by both teams has done much TO
advance the association game in the Garden
City.
The contest between the two teams took
place at the San jose baseball grounds. and
was witnessed BY over 1000 people, includ-
ling 600 enthusiastic admirers of the game
who accompanied the teams from this city.
Although the ground was covered with
considerable grass, the game was Teplete
with brilliant PLAYS, and both teams main
tanned their high reputation by the fire,
dashy and scientific game hch they put up.
The Thistles' success was due to their
excellent combination and the persistent
pressure which they kepton the Wanderers
back division.
The Scotch team was trained to the hour,
and Trainer j. DOnatd'5 experienced work
was evident in the magnificent fettle in
which he sent the Scotch boys to the scratch.
The Wanderers played n good defensive
game, but their forward combination was
somewhat disJunted and ineffective.
The open character OF the association
game has so captured the football entnuS-
lasts of San Jose that several teams will oe
formed for next season, and overtures have
been made TO the association league for
The arrangements connected with tbs ex-
cursion and game were ably handled by
Messrs. Gray and Mckenzie, to whose
efforts the success of the outing is due.
The Wanderers team have lost q good
player in Charley Howell, who left for
Chicago on Wednesday last.
The Association League held meeting
on Friday last, when arrangements were
made for the closing games in the Hilbert
trophy com petition.
The Sunday games at Central Park will
be resumed to-day and two contests have
been arranged. The first game will be
played between the Wanderers and the
ROvers, which should prove an easy win for
the former team.
The event Of the day will be the contest
between the OakaHds and Rangers, and as
the latter team is determined to turn the
tables on the Oakland aggregation a close
and exciting contest may be- expected
The Rangers were singuarly unfortu-
nate in their contests at the opening OF the
season. but for some time back their play
has greatly improved, and they have be-
come enthnsed with the idea of doing some
thing brilliant before the season ends.
Captain Kidd has been training his
Ranger boys for some time back in ant;ci-
patton OF meeting the Oakland eleven, aud
the game to-day will be bitterly fought from
start to finish.
The junior league were afforded an
opportunity at San Jose on Sunday last OF
exhibiting their ability at the association
game, as prior to the big event the JUNIOR
lhlst es and CallIornians played match
game, which resulted in favor OF the native
sons by score Of two goals TO ril.
In the competition for the Hilbert tr only
the Ihistles led with ten points, the Oak
lands and Wanderers following with eight
points each TO their credit

wonder what sort of saddle you use. I
suspect that it is of the Mexican variety

OF the horses spring Is to throw the rider

indignation TO my lips. My beautiful pet

kind and cheerful disposition soon won my
heart. ard l became very watchtul and
careful of him.
In harness he was fast trotter, obedient
and willing; but in the saddle he disap-
pointed me. Once. twice, three times he
went back to the trainer, who no sooner
mounted him than lie would sngle-foot per-
tectly. Why was it that he would always
give me that unpleasant little jerk a: every
