was made aware of it's fame the other
day by receipt of request of it's cal
endar from the wife of the attorney
general of Arkansas.
Mr.. Wight, who writes the column,
with Rod and Gun" for the Courier
Gazette, makes the following ingenious
reply to those who object to the graft
1ication of the instinct for killing some
hing: Sometimes l hear people say,
| don't see how you can shoot the poor
little birds" Well an allwise Creator
made the birds to be killed and eaten
like the oxen, the lambs and the
turkies which you enjoy so much on
Christmas and Thanksgiving days. In
fact the birds have a much better time
OF ii than we poor mortals do. Who
ever heard a woodcock complaining of
rheumatism, or the govt, or dyspepsia
They go about in the beautiful woods
lime months of the year, enjoying
themselves. No bills to meet-only
when their own bills meet on a poor
bug or a worm: they have no guilty
conseiences, no dread of death no fear
Of going to hell. They go about, never
eating a single berry, nor single kerr
nal of grain. but preying upon the in
nocent worm ever as we prey upon
them. Some crisp day in autumn fell
low comes along with gun and dog
up goes the bird. bang goes the gun. He
did not hear the reportoof the gun, for
he was n dead bird before the sound
reached him. And SO he died vir-
tuous and happy. God created deer to
eat grass and herbs. He also mada
the wolves to eat meat. and as they
can't go to market and buy a porter
house steak, they grab deer. 1t is
no worse for me to kill the bird than
for the bird to kill the bug" Then as
if to clinch his argument he refers to
the verses of DR.. Holland, quoted at
the head of this column.

At its last session the PENNSYLVANIA
Legislature passed law for the protec-

1t is a law against infectious disease
among fruit trees, and directed against
such affections as peach yellows, pear
blight and the black knot among plums,
also the peach rosette or any contagious
disease among cherry trees In each
township or borough there will be
board to see that the provisions of the
law are executed, in case the owner of
the infected fruit or fruit trees has not
the sense and public spirit to destroy
such trees or fruit himself. 1t is ex

MURDEROUS WHITECAPS.
Four Men on Trial For Their Live
in TennoRSea

Four Men on Trial For Their Lives
in Tennessee.
Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 19.--Whitecap-
ism in Sewer county is on its last legs.
Everything is at stake in the trial at
Sevierville of Pleas Wynn and Catlett
Upton, charged with the murder of
MIR. and Mrs. William Whaley, and of
Robert Catlett and Robert Wade, ac-
cused Of being accessories to the crime.
Upton Is one OF the wealthy men of
the county, Judge T. A. r. Nelson Is
holding the court, and Is determined
that there shall be an end of the dis
order which for several years has given
this county such a bad name.
The whitecaps practically ruled the
county for long time. and there we're
several fatal encounters, but no officer
dared make arrests. Finally William
Whaley dared the whitecap order and
gave evidence against one Of its num-
Der. Then his days were numbered.
Alone in his humble cabin, three miles
from Sevierville. Whaley and his wife
and her sister, Mrs. Lizzie Chandler.
were sitting. Suddenly a heavy blow
against the door was heard, and it flew
open. Two men levsled guns at Whaley
and his wife and told them to prepare
to die. Before the eyes of the Chandler
woman and Whaley's infant child the
murderers shot down husband and wife
and left them to weller In their blood.

CHURCH CLUB DINNER
The Annual Gathering at the Century
Club-A Delightful Affair.

The Church Club Of Delaware gave its
semi annual dinner In the New Century
building last evening and as usual W rs u
delightful affair Seven, y-hve guests
were present and for four hours general
good time was had Bishop Coleman was
not present when the churcnmen sat down
but arrived after the first course had been
served.
After the banquet had been partaken of
and the cigars being smoked, DIR. }. A.
Ellegood, toastmaster, introduced Bishop
Coleman. who responded to the
toast, 1.-THE Historic Episcupate. HS
said that although the Diocese OF Delaware
had existed for liz years, some Of thoss
present remembered all its bishops, MS for
many years this diocese was without IL
head. This was also true of the church In
America, and the first steps taken to secure
bishops for the Church in this cuIlutry
were taken at the General Convention
held In Wilmington In 1915. This was
the only General Convention ever held in
this city, and a more definite step was
probably never taken than In that con-
vention The result of this noble gather
ing was that hree bishops we've given by
the mother Church. The fr.t American
bishop was DR.. Seabury, although some
commended that Bishop White of Pennsyl-
vania was Bishop White was the 10th in
OF Canterbury.
The succession Of he episcopate can DO
traced in an unbroken chain for 1900 years,
and u can even go bnck o the period be-
fore st Augustine came to the British
shore. Bishop Coleman said tina; no other
church could furnish such tracing, and
that he himself could trace his own sue
cesslon to the episcopate 10 the day of St.
John. This shows that episcopacy is old

SELF SUPPORTING CONVICTS.
The NswIork State plan Gives EN-
inent Satisfaction


inent Satisfaction.
Albany, Nov. l9.-The problem of how
state convicts shall be kept at work
without competing with free labor has
seemingly been solved by the law which
went into effect on Jan OF this year
This law provided that all state insti-
tutions. departments and political di-
visions should purchase all their sup
plies and articles of equipment from
the prisons if such could be manufac-
tuerd there. Since the law went into
operation acquisitions have been re-
ceived for over $4,000 worth of goods.
which guarantees the continuous EN-
pioyment of convicts AS 1t costs Lut
$500,OOO annually to maintain the
prisons, they are therefore made self
supporting under the new system.
Speaking of the matter, General Aus.
tin Lathrop. superintendent of state
prisons said:
None of the methods of employing
convicts during my administration of
ten years have been self supporting
with the exception of the new one An
enormous amount Of money will be
saved % the state. Next years trade
will amount to 100000 We sell at
price below that of the markets. SO
that the books of the institutions
themselves show a net profit in making
purchases from u.s.
