AFTER THE TROUT,
Yesterday Was the Opening of a Back
ward Season.

ward Season.
Yesterday witnessed the opening of a
very backward trout season, and II
was noted about the city that fewer
embyro Sir Isaacs started after the
festive beauty than on the first day Of
any former season in many years.
Although the weather has for several
weeks been Of the kind that makes the
speckled fellows ravenous, the large
fall Of rain has put him away from the
hook for at least several days. Reports
from the trout regions indicates that
the streams are too high and too muddy
to permit of successful angling. Old
fishermen say the best early fishing
will not be found at the head of the
streams.

the boarding boss with the leg of
chair. The other boarderS sided with
the boss and the melee did not end until
in the general confusion every window
and article of furniture in the house
was broken to pieces.
Boarder, the boss, attacked savagely
the first named BeZeil with fork and
slashed him painfully on the hand with
the prongs, decorating the flesh in
very serious condition. BeZeil was also
stabbed on the cheek with knife and
received rather serious injuries. In or
der to escape from being carved to
death by his infuriated assailants. he
was obliged to plunge headlong
through a window and jump a high
distance from the porch to the ground.

Number Of Arrests Made.

The entire Peckville force Of officers,
with the assistance of several citizens,
succeeded in arresting all concerned in
the affray, and they were locked up in
the town station house. DIR. Grover

of the opinion that their injuries are by
no means dangerous.

the fight that he was considered to be in
danger of death. DR.. Beck attended

Divorce Is Too Easy.

Uniform divorce laws have been sought
by many thoughtful Americans who real
lie the necessity which exists for some
general system Of divorce-method which
will give all possible protection to the
sanctty of the marriage relation and thus
substantially aid in elevatng and puri-
flying the moral tone of every American
community. To this most important mat
ter the radical action of the constitutional
convention of South Carolina, which de-
clares that no divorce shall be granted in
that state for any cause whatsoever, once
more calls public attention. While there
are few people who will agree that the ac-
ton of the South Carolina convention was
altogether wise. there are many who would
welcome the adoption of laws absolutely
preventing divorce in some of the states
where release from matrimonial bonds Is
now nothing more than a pastime. There
should be rigid laws passed by every COM
monweaith defining precisely the grounds
upon which two persons in the married
state may be legally parted. There is no
doubt that the present laxity of such leg
islation permits, and indeed, inspires many
thou2htless and silly people who have no
ideas of the responsibilities of matrimony
to enter into the state with the intention
of breaking the bond as soon as the COM
partnership becomes either irksome or I'M
profitable. Rigid divorce laws would pre-
vent this reprehensible practice and would
be Of great moral benefit to the whole
country.

Rowdyism Mt Cleveland.

A few more such exhibitions as those dis
played at Cleveland during the progress of
the first and second games of the Temple
Cup series will give baseball a black
eye and do other damage to the physog-
nomy of the national game. From reliable
sources 1t is learned that a mob of Cleve-
land hoodlums were permitted by the man
agement of the Cleveland ball club to in
terfere with the Baltimore players to such
an extent as to render 1t practically i'm
possible for the players from Orioleville to
make the showing that might reasonably be
expected of a team that has captured the
championship for two successive years.
The watchmen's rattles and cymbals and
the homemade tom-toms, the cow-bells,
the sleigh-bells and the tin horns were not
objected to by the Baltimoreans. but there
was objection to the potatoes which were
freely hurled from the stands at times
when the hurting of potato meant inter-
ference with fielding or scoring. The
Cleveland authorities ought to see to it
that Cleveland baseball audiences behave
themselves.
