Bishop McFaui Decides Upon a Plan T
Consolidating the Two FActions,

Bishop McFaui Decides Upon a Plan For
Consolidating the Two Factions,
Trenton. N. j., Dec. IL. Bishop Nc
Faul Of this city has given his decision
as to IL plan for uniting the two factions
OF tho Ancient Order OF Hibernians
now in existence in the United States.
Ono of the organizations is known as
the National Order of Elibernians OF
America and the other as the Ancient
Order OF Hibernians of the United
| States, affiliated with the Board OF
Erin. The split occurred in 1884. Two
OF the main points In dispute which
have prevented a reuuiting OF the two
bodies have been: First. the question
OF the organization in this country
being under the jurisdiction of the
parent organization in Ireland. and
second, the question as to what should
constitute eligibility to membership.
At the recent national conventions
of both organizations committees were
appointed for the purpose OF bringing
about consolidation. The Joint COM
mittee met in Atlantic City last A ugust
to Bishop McFaul.
The bishops decision provides that
the name of the reunited organization
shall be the "Ancient Order OF Hiber-
MANS" with the words Sin America"
added TO designate the country in
which the organization is situated I,
that the constitution in use previous to
the disunion shall be taken as the
groundwork to which all necessary
amendments shall be made; that the
standard for membership shall be that
no person shall become member of
the oroer who is not Irish, or Of Irish
descent through either parent. The
plan of reorganization provides that all
the subordinate divisions of both orders
shall remain intact and become the
units of the consolidated organization.
A single national board isto be chosen
at a convention TO be held at time
and plaos to be fixed by the bishop.
The convention will be held next June
or July. nrohablY in Trenton.

Atlantic salmon in the delaware.

At the recent meeting of the Penn
sylvania Fish Protective Association
the executive committee stated that the
planting Of Atlantic Balmun IN the
Delaware River had passed the oxperl-
mental stage. These fish are now re-
garded as established in the stream,
only requiring persistent nlanting to
make the salmon fishing a commercial
success. Ono Of the notable things
this year was that there was no run"
Of consequence last spring. Only second
and thrd year runners" were caught
and none of tho big planting of five
years ngo; that is to say, the fiRh that
we're caught were of those that were
planted prior tn 1892, The planting Of
the latter year was very successful, so far
as the Matching was concerned, and the
upper rarts al the river were full OF
the young salmon, which afterwards
went to sea. 1t is supposed that some
untowarl conditions encountered in the
ocean retard their growth, SO that they
are not mature enough 10 make the
run" this "ear. The value of the
catches caught this year in nets was
81, 900. that being the amount received
at the nets, making selling price TO
tho consumer about So, 600. The fish
taken ranged from 20 to 81 pounds in
weight,

The camel is a beast of great strength
and endurance. Nothing hurts it until
the proverbial "last straw" is added to its
burden. The human digestive system is
very much like camel. 1t is really as-
tonishing how much abuse it will stand.
Sometimes, however, something worse
than usual will be eaten, and will go
through the stomach into the bowels, and
there 1t will stick-that's constipation.
Nine-tenths of all human sickness is due
to constipation. Some of tho simplest
symptoms arc coated tongue and foul
breath, dizziness, heartburn, ilatulence,
sallowness, distress after eating, head
aches and lassitude. A little thing will
cause constipation, and little thing will
relieve 1t. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are certain cure for constipation. They
are tiny, sugar-coated granulcs, mild and
natural in their action. There Smoothing

Recently a committee OF the New
Century Club sent communication to
Postmaster Moore. asking that large
boxes be placed at various points about

letter carriers, who make the collections
from the regular mail boxes.

the request and asking for authority to
erect the boxes and have collector.
