Black Bass Fishing.

To the Editor Of The Tinlss.
] hope the three, gentler,en who signed
denial OF the report Of Illegal fishing
published in your columns viii not con-
slider the matter a personal affront- Now,
however, that they have taken up the
question themselves, they must offer some
better excuse than that the fish were caught
on May IL, while the protective law went
into effect on May 10 Every fisherman
and almost everyone else along the Poto-
mac knows well enough that the law was
intended to operate from April 8 until
June / and TO take advantageUf teciini-
cal flaw, even f such exists, can very well
be called sharp practice. ?
Whether or not the governor of Mary
lands proclamation was necessary to put
the law in operation, there has been enough
proclan.ation of the fact that bass were to
be protected from April ] until June / for
every sportsman to know it. Apart from
this, a protective period from May 19 un-
til June l. thirteen days, would be too use
less for serious consideration. The fact
therefore remains that bass caught on
Nav II were caught in the middle of the
spawning season, fact that should be
known to all so-called fishermen: aud
were also caught between the time limits
well known to have been fixed as close
season for black bass. j. II. PALMER.

THE sAENGERBUND EXCURSION.
Thousands Enjoy the Occasion at

1t was all gayety and merriment at
Marshall Hall yesterday, for the Washing
ton Saengerbund gave its first excursion
of the season To that place. The Maca les
ter left her wharf three times during the
day, and on each trip her decks were
crowded with people old and young. who
were only too glad to take an outing un-
der the auspices of the popular German
society 1t follows that the spacious
grounds Of Marshall Hall swarmed all day
with a joyous multitude
In the pavilion dancing was indulged ia,
It being an ideal day for such diversion,
for the clouds veiled the sun just enough to
make the atmosphere pleasant for the
dance in the open. On the bowling alleys
the contest went on for the prizes allotted
by the amusement committee to the most
proficient, and in a hundred Otler ways
the picnickers enjoyed themselves, each
to his or her liking.
The family party was every where in
evidence and children romred about on
the ample lawns, while shady ncoks were
sought 10y those who preferred them. The
al frcsco lunch was, of COURSE, one Of the
features, and thus, with the feasting and
merry-makng, the day and part Of the
night rassed TO the utmost satisfaction of
everybody. Several times the Saenger-
bund delighted It's guests by singing songs
Of the fatherland, the only regret being
that not more of these could have beer
heard.

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.

Every living thing, plant, or animal, con-
taips within itself the germs Of certain
decay and death.
In the human body these germs Of dis
ease and death (called by scientists Pto-
mainesl, are usually the result Of imper-
feet digestion of food; the result of indi-
gestion or dyspepsia
The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food. The result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments (the first process Of
decay poisoning the biood. making it thin,
weak, and lacking in red corpuscles: pois-
oning the BRAIN causing headaches and
pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart. caus-
ing palpitation, and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, caus-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
Ard this is SO because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for noarishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself lot only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids Qactic
and hydrochloric, and peptogenic prod
ucts: the most sensible remedy in all cases
or indigestion, is to take after each meal,
one or two Of Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets,
because they supply in pleasant, harm
less form all the elements that weak stom-
achs lack.
The regular use Of stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble, except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye, and cleaI
compile xion, because all these result
only from wholesome food well tigeste d
