Compulsory Pilotage or Piracy

Our readers, the seafarers specially will
recall the arguments of Capt. John W. Kane
against compulsory plotage, and we give
below the protest of another shipmaster
Capt Benjamin I. Howes writes from Phil
adelphia, to the editor of the n. Y. Maritime
Register:
Schooner Henry Lippitt under my COM
mand, arrived here Jan. 9th, 1897, from
Demerara. | needed no pilot and none Of
fered their services; took tug boat eigh-
teen miles off shore and lowed to the city
To my establishment the Pilot Association
here sent in bill for pilotage, S75 90, they
claiming a pilot boat was in sight, showing
flag when my vessel passed in by the
Capes. l consulted marine lawyer and he
said as the Pilot Laws now stood in Penn
sylvana, vessels are obliged to stop and
wait for a Pilot if one was in sight, or in
other words flag by day or a light by night
constitutes speaking vessel with the pilots
all vessels have to wait or pay full piotage.
If such laws can be enforced against our
Merchant Marine, its about time to give up
the struggle and sell what few ships we
have left in foreign trade for coal barges
We read of piracy in the olden times, but
there are crafts cruising off all our ports
with flags flying saying to free born Ameri-
cans and their property "Ye shall not enter

five gray frogs of darker shade. She
wore soft blouse front of cream chiffon,
with strips of cream lace insertion let in.
A stiff double bow of chiffon, held in
place in the centre by a diamond buckle,
was worn at the throat. White gloves
heavily stitched, and a huge picture hat
completed an outfit that made many an

The Influence of rIedicines.

The idea formerly entertained by the aver
age person was that medicines acted mys-
teriously exerting magical kind of power
that was not understood, but nevertheless,
of undoubted potency. To-day we know
that medicines are only useful in supplying
that which defective constitutions lack.
Science has come into the field of medicine,
and with science has come Anglers Petro-

elements needed. Perfectly agreeable to

Our Sheep Industry.
Mr.. l. Z, Libby Wakes an Appeal for Ii.

Mr. l. C. Libby of Waterville wrote the
Congressional ways and means committee
that he has sold in the Brighton markets
during the last 30 years over :, 200, 900
sheep. it having been his life business to
ship live stock to the Brighton markets
from the State of Maine He wrote that
he is also an owner in three ranches in
Montana. on which there are now 40, 900
sheep. GAS sheep and lambs occupy such
a close place in their interests to the hui
man race" wrote Mr.. Libby, "deep study
should be exercised by your committee in
protecting these doubly useful animals.
1t is conceded that sleeps wool makes the
best and most perfect covering for the hui
man race, and their flesh the most health
full and palatable meat consumed. These
leading ideas certainly call for an increase
instead of a decrease of these very valu-
able animals.'
In the course of his letter Mr.. Libby
states that the number of sheep in the
country has decreased from so, 600, 600 in
1890 to 35, 0OO, 900 at the present time.
Mr.. Libby says at the present rate of de-
crease it will not be long before mutton
will be too scarce and too high to come to
the table of the wage Garner. Another
idea he calls attention to is that sheep,
which are in demand in other countries,
can be fattened on our grain, which
makes another demand to relieve the over
loaded granaries of the West.
He says that no man can produce wool
at profit in the United States at less
than so cents per pound on a secured ba-
sis, and that the present low prices for
wool has completely depopulated New
England of these heretofore money max
ing animals, and the western sheep raiser
has learned the bankrupt law of this
country. Mr.. Libby favored duty of Is
cents pound on wool.

enthusiastic patroness of the brush. Nine.
Emma Calve was there. The celebrated
opera singer was resplendent in two tones
of red, as only a French women and a
Calye could combine them.
Another grand looking dame was Mrs.
George Gould, wife OF the multi million
aire. She is tlt1e more matronly. but
none lie less charming, than she was ten
Yeas ago as the Edith Kingdom Of DAVIS
company. Mrs. Gould WAS exquistely
govned in a reception toilet Of pearl gray
moire- velour, the entire bodice covered
with silver sequins, and wore a small
bonnet Of sequins with three gray tips.
Over Der arm she carried a fluffy little
shoulder cape-a combination Of black,
turquoise blue velvet, and lace.
Close behind Mrs. Gould-and in strong
contrast to her-came Miss Mary Manner
ing, the young and beautiful new leading
woman of the Lyceum Theatre, who is
making very fine impression here in the
theatrical world. Her dress was as simple
as Mrs Gould's was elaborate and even
more striking on account of its simplici-
~. She carried tie air of early spring in
an extremely dapper tailor made gown of
a sage green and fawn seeded mix ture,
with perfectly plain skirt, faring pretti-
ly at the sides and back. The Jacket was
a closely fitting Elton, open front, with
don hla a., IL
the front rever being carried far enough
below the waist line to form tab, on
which are three handsome buttons.
The novelty of the costume was the
belt, which was part of the jacket and
was Brought from the right under-arm
seam, going beneath the tabs and hooking
at the left undeTarm seam. BY this clever
device, the coat was kept well in at the
back and sides, giving an exceptionally
neat and Jaunty effect. A stiff bosomed
shirt, long black satin tie, fawn gloves.
and fancy green straw hat, fairly smooth
cred in violets, made up the costume,
Miss Mannering attracted more attention
than some of the best pictures. She was

only an actor but teacher of acting. He
is at the head of the Empire Dramatic
and Operate School, and about once
month gives pupils performance at the

matinee to introduce his more advanced
students: and it was rare chance to study
the coming spring styles.
The stalls We're crowded with footlight
favorites and Miss Viola Allen was con-
spicuous among them. Just now Miss
Allen has New York at her feet as Renee
De Cocheforet in ''Under the Red Robe,''
that has made a great hit for Charles
Frohman, following Rosemary at the
Empire. Naturally she was the object of
curiosity and, as she promenaded in the

of all eyes.
Many woman's mental reflection was
no doubt: swell, now l know what to

tall and dark, with figure just plump
enough, clear white complexion and
eyes of deep blue. She would not be
picked out for a beauty, as the ordinary
