Chestertown, Md, Sept. IL. The
oyster season gives little promise of
SUCCESS to the Kent county tongers.
The oysters on Swan Point bar, the
most extensive and richest oyster field
on the Chesapeake, and other by
bars are seriously injured. Fully 80
per cent of the oysters in this fertile
longing field are either dead or IN such a
condition that they will die before the
end of the month. Some oystermen
attribute this great destruction to the
stariish, and their position is borne
out by the fact that, with but few OK
captions, the dead or dying oysters have
their mouths bitten or broken off.
Some hold that the crab has been the
great enemy which has played such
havoc; others claim that the heavy
freshets of the summer are responsible,
but this does not account for the
broken condition Of the shells. Where
the oysters are not dying, they are SC
poor as to be unfit for market, except
around the edges of a few inside shoa
bars. More than half of the outside
tongers and buyers are operating in
Chester river, where the oysters are
scarce and poor.

and he sold out his interest to the

pending an answer as TO whether they
would take the pool privilege it was

Episcopal Church Of Cambridge, Md,

60x40 feet, and costing $1,000 The

Parish House, in memory of Rev.
Theodore p. Barber, D. d., LII. d.. +,
who was rector for i3 years, until his
death, January LIST, 1898, when the
Rev. I. G. Page was appointed to the
charge. Through the efforts of the
Barber Memorial Chapter Of the Kings
Daughters and the liberal contributions
of former residents of Cambridge now
living in Baltimore, over two.thirdls
of the funds have baen collected. In
1862 one Of the earliest churches on the
Peninsula was built on the present
site, aud stood until 1904, when it was
demolished TO give way to more pre-,
tentious affair. In 1882 the handsome
structure that now stands was erected
at cost of $50, 600, and though seem
ingly perfect in every way to the OBJ
server, the want of such building as
is now being added was keenly felt.

The Farmers' Institute OF New Cas-

very successful Farmers day. The
speakers we're the Hon. John O. Hig'

tute, aud the Rev. Wilmer Jaggard.
The First Regiment Band played be-

Day presided. Mr.. Higgins spoke on
Prison Reform" The subject was
interesting TO farmers who feel the
burden of taxation. He said that it
took 500 bushels of corn to pay his
county, road and poor tax, to say moth
ing OF the school tax. He held that
the amount OF taxes could be lessened.
He discussed tho expenses of prisons
and plans for the betterment of tho
prisoners. Treating the subject in a
historical way he showed how in the
earlier days the death penalty was in
fiicted for hundreds of distinct crimes,
but now tho death penalty ia limited
to such offences as treason and murder
The present English system of prison
reform aims TO help prisoner to better
his condition. The opportunity is gen.
orally improved. There they have con-
Wet prisons in which there is graded
service. Nearly every prison 10 England
is connected with some society for the
aid of discharged convicts, and these
societies are active in securing work
for the released mon. The British gov
ernment grants these societies $40, 000
year, on condition that similar sum
be raised by subscription. In England
and Wales there had been reduction
in IL years in the number Of prisoners
OF 80 per cent. But in the United
States there had been large increase.
Many Of the States are working on the
problem. The Elmira Refornatory is
the most advanced of American crimi-
nal institutions The inmates are di-
vided into three grades and each man
is marked upon his conduct, labor and
studies. In Ohio, Illinois and Massa.

tcld his hearers, however, TO remembe
that all they had came from God, ant
not to forget to thank Him.

The regular fall meeting of the At
lantic League was held at the Hotel
Hanover, Philadelphia, on Friday,
Samuel d. Crane, president being in
the chair and delegates from the six
clubs in tbs league being present.
After full and free discussion Of the
leagues first season and the prospects
for next year it was resolved TO enlarge
the league to eight clubs by the adms
sion of two cities, SO that the circuit
would be as compact as possible and
long jumps be avoided. There were
seven or eight applications for the
vacant places, but after vote was
taken it was decided to give the fran
cnises to Richmond and Norfork, late
of the Virginia League. Manager
Long stated that tho Wilmington team
had not been paying venture, aud
that he desired to transfer both team
and franchise to Reading, which was
done. BY this action the Atlantic
League will have strong circuit of
eight clubs for next year, viz, Newark,
Paterson, Hartford, Lancaster, Reading,
Athletic, Richmond and Norfolk. The
reports of the committee showed the
league to be in healthy financial con-
dition and the outlook for next season
bright one. A number Of protests OF
games, umpires, &C.. were received and
filed. Charles Saby OF Hartford, offered
silver cup to be competed for by the
first two clubs, after the style of the
Temple cup series in the National
League. ...- =.=
THE TEAM MAY NOT GO TO READING.
The team may remain in Wilmington
next season, notwithstanding that Man
ager Long has received permission te
make the transfer. 1t is probable thai
1t will be difficult to secure groundl
in the Pennsylvania city, and unless
good grounds are obtained the transfer
will not be made.
