Vas Is LOS MlT?-In the Immediately
recent past Englar, the spontaneously pro-
duced, full blown, wide awake and all around
agreeable and successful pen pusher OF the
carroll Record asked us the question:
"How's fishin'."
Now, confdentially, we catch fewer fish,
outfit and desire considered, than anyone
ever known to US, yet through combination
of circumstances. kindly presided over by
that charming yet tickle goddess Fortuna
we have for some years been able to pose as
authority in matters piscatorial. Readers
NAV have noted the fact that we have care
fully abstained from other than the simplest
discussion of the art, but have assumed the
oracular. Well, that is safest you know; one
is less liable to spread his ignorance out deep
enough for any one to get fast in it long
enough to think it over; so when the ques'
ton "Hows fishin?" was asked us, we saw
that now. if eyer, we had a gold basis oppor'
tunty to add to our reputation, 80 we assumed
the Sir Oracle pose and categorically stated
that "Suckers re bitln'." And so they were
1t was intended, expected, yea, assumed that
the II have spoken" would settle it and SO
far as the questioner himself is concerned, 1t
did: but here comes Alleman Of the Adams
County INDEPENDENT with a forty line
thesis, in which dlsquistion we haye, at
prodigious expense of gray matter, been able
to resolve final analyses. philosophc and
psychologist, that double discount the theoso'
phlsts. But his logic has a game leg, his
conclusion being linked to his premises by
an undistributed middle
What's in the statement Had there been
no fishing there would have been no Cassell''
In our opinion, without that interesting pro-
ceedure, there would have been no Cassell,
no Alleman, no Englar, NOVEL; nobody.
And then "just as long as the usually
pleasant editor of the Thurmont Clarion sits
at the end of his rod and fails to hook his
game we shall not attempt to further rutfe
his temper by asking him 'Hows fishin.'"
That's simply libelous by implication
There is not, has not been and to the best OF
our intention and ability shall not be ruttle
on or about our temper we cant afford rufties
and our temper has been drawn along with
our wisdom teeth, 40 how can we be charged
with wearing ruftles on our temper? The
whole thing is palpable game" on the part
of the Independent; by entclng us into dis
cussion he has hoped to have us show our
ignorance of Izaac's art and thus dethrone us
from the proud pedestal which we haye been
holding down for years and years and that

ADJUSTMENTS.

No more beautiful or impressive
scene has ever been staged at the Clu-
ME Opera-house in a modern drama
than the first act Of by Order of the
Czar," now being played. There is
breathless silence and tense sensation,
when, just as the curtain falls and the
sentence of the three officers is pro-
nounced, the Emperor of all the Rus
sias exclaims, Thus do I teach the
young men of this realm the respect
they owe to the honor Of it's young
women" 1t is a splendid scene, and
Mr.. Gleason, as the White Car, gives it
dignity, impressiveness and solemnity
that centers interest in his assumption
Of the character, divided only by the
tender and woful emotions awak-
ened In every heart by the
character of Caraissa assumed
by Miss Daglish. In that char
acter she achieves a distinct triumph.
she has invested it with more Of spirit
than at first and added to it depth of
feeling that renders it we'll night fault
less. Miss Harrington does in the first
act an especially fine bit Of artistic
work in championing the part of the
wronged Caraissa, and in rebuking the
young officer who has dishonored her
family name and disgraced his regf-
ment. This beautiful play has but four
nights more to run, and with it's wealth
of fine scenery rich costumery and su-
perior acting 1t ought to crowd the
Opera-house each night.
John Slater, the mind reader, etc, will
appear at Pythian Hall this evening
and promises to introduce something
new and startling. He will also ap-
pear Friday and Saturday evenings.

State Fair Tickets.

Eds. "RecOrd-Union": Some two
years ago, while in conversation with
one of the State Fair Directors, the
very subject that General MARITIME has
brought to the public attention was dis
cussed. But the director then said the
reason of the change of the old ticket to
that OF the present one, was that others
than the owner used the same ticket
and that it was impossible to prevent
1t, and I told him then that ] thought
very few tickets and especially where a
man had family were ever loaned TO
others, and / think SO still. Anyway,
suppose such was the case the ticket is
being used by only one person and no
one is materially injured. Again, the
former family ticket was anincentive for
others to buy one, and l think | can
best illustrate it in this way. l have
ticket for the fair week. OF course go
every evening. Well, my neighbors see
everything going on around them, nnd
/ have a season ticket and no matter
how hard pushed they are for money
they will not have it said that they 100
cannot have a ticket and a little of this
worlds pleasure as we'll as myself, so
off they go and get a ticket. While on
the other hand, if they have to put
down so cents each and every time they
go to track or Pavilion 1t seems as big
as cart wheel to them; therefore hon-
estly believe that the State Fair officers
would make money and give much more
satisfaction were they to change the
single admission to that of a season
ticket or some kind Of a ticket that a
family could use for the whole fair at as
low a rate as would be profitable for
this society. E. III. G..
