RUIN THE INDUSTRY.
Opinion of an Expert on the Lobster
Law Change.

Portland. Me, April 10. B. WHIT
ten, state commissioner Of shore fish
cries. expresses regret at the action OF
the Massachusetts legislature in re-
gard to the lobster law He predicts
that the passage of the bill viii seri-
Ously affect the lobster producing
states. causing them TO exercise extra
ordinary care in enforcing their own
lobster laws. and that the tendency of
the bill viii be to greatly diminish and
perhaps ruin the lobster industry.
Some years ago, said he, after the
passage of the law in Massachusett
forbidding the taking of Holsters under
ten and one-half inches in length,
Maine was asked to pass the same law
in order that legislation would be uni
form in the two states. We, at that
time, had a law forbidding the taking
during ten months Of the year of lob
sters under that length, but during
Nay and June we allowed the minimum
limit of length to be nine inches. We
found that Maine lobster dealers were
almost unanimously convinced thatthe
Massachusetts system was the better.

A GOOD ROAD IS A MONEY SAVER.

A GOOD ROAD IS A MONEY SAVER
The best argument for road improve.
ment Is the argument of economy. A
good road Is a money-saver. Move
meut Ia retarded more or less by fric-
ton. Reduce the friction and the cost
of movement is reduced. Multiply the
cost Of moving q loaded wagon on q bad
road by the number of wagons so moved
in the United States and the result will
appear in the terms OF billions OF dol
lars. Were every country road In the
land as smooth "a the best roads, there
can be no doubt that the saving In the
cost of locomotion would amount to q
vast sum of money each year. The ag-
ricultural department has figured out
the average general cost per ton of
transportation from farm to market to
be 1902, and the annual total cost Of
farm haul ng TO be S946, SOC, 600, 900.
Probably this is largely guess work,
bat that the cost, whatever 1t is, may
be reduced quite one-half by making
Che fosd surfaces smooth and firm Is o
certainty.

STARTING A BALKY HORSE.
The Animal Thinks of Only One
Thing at q Time.

A skinny, ill-fed, disconnected and
anarchistic horse had come to the CON
clusion that it had hauled it's load far
enough and that it would defy the
overbearing master and go no further.
The result was q blockade of the street,
caused by a balky horse. AS is usual
in such cases a crowd gathered ts dis
cuss the situation. Everv one took a
hand at trying to lead the horse, but it
Gianted It's fore feet firmly and refused
to be budged. Various suggestions
were offered to assist it's ~locomotion,
but few of them were tried. The com.
edian of the crowd offered the time
worn suggestion that a fire be built
under it, but 1t fell dat and no one even
smiled.
In the crowd was a w~ell-dressed man
in a silk hat and a natty overcoat. He
had observed in silence all the ways
and means for moving the obstinate
horse. AT length he stepped forward
and said:
Let rue try. Who's got a piece of
string2" A small boy went into his
pockets and produced the desired arti-
Gle, a good, stout length Of packing
Irvine. Now get me a short stick and
we'll soon get this horse out of the
way" said the man. The small boy
also produced q stick. The crowd gazed
stupidity and wonderingly at the pre-
parations, although those whose sug-
g~estions had been rejected smiled sa-
tiracally.
The man in the silk hat had tied one
end Of the string TO the stick and then
began to wind the other end around the
horses ear. The horse hung his head
and looked Obstinate. AS the string
began to tighten the horse woke up and
tried to jerk his head away. The fur.
Their the string was wound the uneasier
the horse grew. After the last wind
had been taken the stick was thrust
through the brow band of the bride.
The horse wriggled his ear vigorously,
shook his head impatiently, then his
eye grew wild and ne began to move.
His will was beginning to weaken.
Suddenly he started off wagging his
ear briskly and the crowd cheered.
That's the way we used to start
balky horses and mules when I was
fr~eighting down in Mexico a good many
years ago. a horse can only think Of
n thing at q time and the string on
his ear takes his attention AVA from
his balk. It's very simple. kansas

Lancaster County, committed suicide
on the 9th inst. about 10 o'clock, by
jumping into Bear creek from the

was shocked when the news came in

Mr.. Perry was a great sufferer from

He ate bis breakfast as usunl this

piled that he had some work ahead.
Mr.. Perry then left the Office and went
to the creek, on the track OF the rail
road, but on reaching the trestle turn

road ran down the creek to render
help. He succeeded in getting below

When he saw. Perry he was holding
his head above water with one band
grasping a bush and had his hat in
the other. The man called to him &c
hold on and he would help him. Mr..
Perry turned his head, looked at him
for u moment, turned loose the bush
and sank for the last time. Parties

On November %, 1856, the Citadel
Square Baptist Church was organized,
and in commemOration of the fOrtieth
anniversary of the church it had been
decided to hold some special services
during the session OF the convention.
The evening of Friday was partially
devoted to i%nitiatory exercises connect
ed with this celebration. Rev. b. l..
Whitman, DID,, president OF the COlum-
bian College, Washington, ID. c., had
been requested to make an address on
the occasion, and it was the general
sentiment Of those who heard him that
it would have been difficult indeed for
q better selection to have been made.
Splendid in physique, imposing in APP
pearance, fluent ct speech, profound in
thought, DR.. Whitman charmed his
hearers rs he spoke Of "OUr Posses
sions in the Bible" The three points
made In treating the subject we're
that the Bible was the divine word OF
revelation for Illuminating life and for
the Interpretation of nature that it is
the divine power for salvation, and
that 1t Is the divine sword for conquest
and defence.
DIR. Kerfoot, of the Theological Sem
mary at Louisville, followed this adj
dress with q strong plea for contribu-
tions In aid OF the Students Fund Of
that institution and obtained as before
said over 81, 900. In connection with
this evenings service, DR.. Kerfoot
presented to the convention a gavel,
brought by Rev. r.. j. Williams from
Palestine. The mallet Is made Of
olive wood from the Mount Of Olives,
while the handle is of cherry from the
banks of Jordan. President Hudson
appropriately received the gavel on
the part OF the convention.
The report Of the board OF Ministe-
rial Education claimed attention on
Saturday morning and over $240 were
contributed for that object. A COM

YALE'S FINE PHYSIQUE,

The Crew Greatly Admire in England Practice Spin at Henley-The Boys Had a
 Fine Trip Over-No Stormy Weather,
 and Arrived in Fine Condition-Bob
 Cook Looking After Every Detail.
 London, June 16.-The Yale univer- sity crew, who arrived at Southampton on board the steamer Berlin last even- ing, took special train from that place at S:20 this morning for Henley, where they will at once begin practice for the events in which they are entered in the Henley regatta. The boat in which the Yale crew will row in the race for the grand challenge cup was carried on four gondola cars attached to the train. Bob Cook, the coach of the crew, personally attended to checking and securing the boat on the cars. There was a large crowd at the station and the Yale men were cheered heartily as the train started.
 The train arrived at Henley at Il o'clock, and the crew were met by the mayor and the members of the corpOr- ation, who were awaiting the arrival of the Yale men on the platform The mayor made a speech of welcome, and introduced the entire crew to the alder men. The Yale boat was carried from the station to the river and launched after which it was padded to the boat house and the crew went to their quar- ters at March Mills. The men are de- lighted with their quarters.
 River men express a very favorable opinion of the physique of the Yale crew as compared with the Cornell crew, which took part in the Henley regatta last year. The crew went out for prac- tice this afternoon.
 Captain Treadway, Langford, Beard, No. 3, and Coxswain Clarke were sea sick on the second day out from New York, but they quickly recovered and none of the party was i'll afterwards. Simpson, the bow oarsman, did not work for two days, having Wrenched his knee He is suffering now with a slight attack of tonsiiitis. All the crew are in the best of spirits.
 The weather was perfect and the sea smooth throughout the passage. The promenade deck of the Berlin, where the boats were stored, was given up tC the crew for their exercises, which Com- prised walking. Regular gymnastiC work was carried on, as is done at New Haven during the winter. Arm mo- tions as in rowing, without an oar, were practiced, and closed attention was paid to the movements of the finish in the stroke Bob" Cook coached each member of the crew individually on the rowing machine for ten minutes daily.
 The daily routine was as follows: Rise at a. m., and take a salt water bath; breakfast at 8; walking exercise from 10 to F; lunch at 1; walking ex- ercise from to i; dinner at 6, and bec at 10. The amusements consisted of shuffie- board, cards and checkers. Two concerts were given by the crew quar- tet, and altogether they had a jolly time. They became very popular witt all on board. - -~-~-- ~.--
