Sam Deyere and His Excellent Com
pany at the Bon Ton.

Every inch of space was occupied at the
Boz Ton last night and as has been the
custom at this house for some time, camp
stools were sold at a premium. The at
traction was the friend of our childhood,
old Sam Devere. with his banjo, and a
company of more or less talented per-
formers. who managed to keep the large
audience amused for three hours.
The shining lights in the entertainment
were the Glissandos, who are the cleverest
people in their line, as we'll as Johnson
and Dean, a team of colored artists, who
are exceedingly clever. The old Silly dim
ner. with lots of uproarious fun, closed
the show.

There can be no doubt that the birds OF
the State have been in need of some pro-
lection in the past; but just at present it
Is the citizens who want it. Hardly a
week passes but some vicious and foolish
excess of the game wardens is reported in
the papers.
Only a few days ago there was told the
story of a man fined over 500 because he
had kent a robin in a cage for two or
three months. He did not know he was
breaking the law and he loved the little
bird as a pet. Presently. when he was
told 1t was illegal to have it, he released
1t and a cat killed it on the spot Then a
game warden came along and trapped him
into admitting tina he had had the bird
He vas arrested, fined the monstrous sum
mentioned and clapped in jail because he
could not pay it. Words fail to describe
the atrocify of this proceeding, in which
the prosecuting official and the Justice"
figure with about equal discredft.
Now we have the case of John Engler,
who is fined $50 by a Hudson County Dog
berry for carrying an unloaded gun on
Sunday. That Engier violated the letter
of the law may be true; but the impo-
sition of the outrageous penalty in his
case outrages the sense of justice of every
reasonable man. It makes the law appear
odions and the men who took part in its
malignant enforcement ~repulsiye.
A similar a~bomination is reported this
morning. Eighty dollars each and costs.
q total of SLIGO and costs, which amount
to nearly $40 more. was the fine imposed
on Joseph Gordon and Metoro Tronino,
poverty stricken residents of North Ar
lington. yesterday, by Borough Recorder
william Haywood. The men were arrest
ed on complaint of Game Warden Kerr,
OF Harrison, who alleged that they had
shot eight brown thrlishes in defiance of
the game law. Neither of the men could
understand English. and. ia -csnsequence
could offer no defence, and no attempt
was made to explain the charge to them.
The game warden testified that he had
seen the birds in the possession OF the
men, and the Recorder Immediately fined
them $40 for each bird, the full penalty.
The poor devils of Italians are not the
violators OF the law in this case, but the
-unscrupulcus ruffians who abused the let
ter OF the statute IN the above manner. It
is, time this Business stopped. Let the
birds be killed off if there is no way of
saving them except by outrages or human
beings. The next Legislature should re-
peal the present laws and wipe the whole
organization of petty despots out Of exist

Ingenious Device to Lubriests the Hulls
Of Vessels.
The invention Of u simple and inex-
pensive device for acceleratlng the speed
of ships and preventing barnacles and
corrosion has recently been brought TO
the attention of the chief Of conslruc-
tion and other officials Of the navy de-
partment in Washington, with the re-
suit that Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy McAdoo has appointed Chief En-
gineer George Cowie, Jr., U. s. N,
stationed at the New York navy yard,
q commissioner to witness test Of the
idea on large scale and report ON it t.
the department.
The invention consists of mechanism
which envelops the submerged portion
of ship with film Of oil, thus reduc-
ing friction and overcoming to large
degree the resistance Of the water
A series Of iron fanges are fastened
along the bottom and sides Of the ship
below the water line, in which are in
serted sheets of woven wire netting,
lathing or sheet iron, covered with an
absorbent composition saturated with
oil. The fanges have a semicircular
covering ON top below which runs a
finely perforated pipe, WHICH elects a
fine spray Of oil against lie inside OF
the fange and ON to the sheets, from
which it spreads downward.
The oil is not carried away by the
water, but, through capillary attraction,
is spread, thus keeping the ships hull
CREASED wirnout any waste of oil. 1t is
said that the composition is a perfect
carrier of oil under the surface Of the
water, feature which has never before
been achieved and which will make oil
perform below the water line the same
service that it does in quelling rough
sea.
1t is said for the invention that, ap
piled to any vessel, either steam or sail.
ing, it will increase the speed by at
least % per cent without augmenting
the amount Of machinery or the expendi-
ture of fuel Another and most valuable
feature claimed is that it will prevent
the growth of barnacles These enemies
to ships hulls necessitate frequent dry
docking and scraping at largo cost.
The inventor also declares that the
fatty composition will completely pre-
vent corrosion Of hulls. York

1t is leze majesty in Germany to out
do the war lord in anything. That i.
why Otto Schoen, young Berlin archi.
tect of high family, fed from his native
land four weeks ago in fear Of the wrath
Of his emperor. The facts in this singu.
lar case are as follows:
Schoen was employed to plan and
build magnificent restaurant and con.
cert hall near the kaiser's palace al
Potsdarn. Without intending disrespect.
he drew plans which provided for .
building one story higher than the em.
peror's. When the building authorities
learned of this, they stopped the work
ON Schoen's building, telling him he
was beside himself with impudence tc
dream of putting up structure that
should overtop the palace.
That day, while at dinner in restau.
rant, Schoen aired his injured feelings,
bluntly declaring the conduct OF the au-
thorities was infamous. The next day
he was summoned before the lieutenant

that his remark in the restaurant had
been overheard and that he stood guilty
of having insulted his emperor, the pen
atty for which was Imprisonment and
possibly worse
Schoen was frightened and asked the
lieutenant what he should do. The lat.
ter assured him his safest course would
be to fly to foreign country. So Schoen,
leaving his wife and family, took ship
at Antwerp and sailed for New York.
He believes he would have been ruined
and his property oonfiscated had he re.
mained in Berlin.

many years the leading and most able
advocate in congress Of woman suffrage,
is now quite naturally used as the OBJ.
ject of all the jokes and facetious re-
marks brought to the surface by the
possibility that the next United States
senator from Utah may be a woman.
A gentleman met the Massachusetts
statesman in the corridor few days age
and asked him if there was any consti.
tutional reason why woman should
not serve az senator il duly elected by
the legislature Of her state.
Certainly not, was the answer OF
Mr.. Hoar, with the affable smile that il
always produced by reference to his
judicial knowledge, and then he asked
his friend whether he knew anything
about the woman candidate in Utah,
what kind Of woman she was, etc.
''Oh, yes" said the gentleman. 81

With look Of astonishment and in.
jured innocence, Mr.. Hoar frowned,
