troCtlng and Waiting.
To those who fret
Lest the next hour be set
With sudden grief or care,
Promise seems never fair,
And Hope, o stranger-guest,
Makes not their haunts her nest.
Fear proffers all her debt
To those who fret
To those who wait
Content to contemplate
Their present joy or woe,
There comes no silent foe
Out OF the mists to mar
The inner Gains that arc.
Peace comes, though 1t come late,

They Were Not Liable.

For some time Fish Commissioner
Blow, OF Illinois, has been busy cap
turing nets and divers devices for
taking fish. \ few weeks ago he
captured and had fined some men
living on the Iowa side. near Buffalo.
Now according to an opinion of At
tornev General Moloney, it is not so
certain but what Blow has passed
the limit and is liable to the owners
of the seines for their value. Fish
Commissioner Langford has been
doing the same act. and now finds
himself defendant in several suits
brought by irritated fishermen. The
opinion of the attorney general is as
follows:
1T is lawful for any person to
catch fish at all times in the waters
mentioned in such act by weir. bas-
kct. trap or other device not used as
a seine, with meshes not less than
two inches square. provided that
such weir, basket, trap or other de-
vice is not used in such a manner as
to obstruct the free passage of fish in
such waters.
1T is also unlawful for any person
to catch or kill fish with any seine or
device used as seine, in or upon any
OF the rivers, creeks, streams, ponds,
lakes, sloughs, buyous or other wa
ter courses wholly within or running
through the state of Illinois, at ali
times, except that between the first
day of July in each year. and the
first day of April in the following
year, fish may be so caught or killed
with seines, the meshes of which are
not less than two square inches, in
such rivers and streams rs are used
for navigation. wholly within the
state. and not above or beyond anv
private or corporate dams on said
rivers or streams. and also in navi-
gable bays or lakes. connected with
such navigable streams, wholly with
in the state and not extending be-
yond the overlooked bottoms of such
rivers or streams"

At 40 this morning Charles
Thompson, who was on duty in his
fathers restaurant on Second avenue,
between Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets, discovered flames issuing
from the rear of Flemming & Weis-
ler's barber shop at 1905 Second
avenue, which is located in the wood
en- structure owned by the Woltmann
estate. The alarm was quickly turned
in, and the department responded in
remarkably quick time. and bursting
open the door, soon had the flames
under control. The fire started in
the rear of the shop, presumably
from electric light wires. and it was
luckily discovered before it had
gained much Roadway. The damage
to Messrs. Flemming & Weisler's
barber fixtures amount to about SIS,
upon which there is no insurance.
