NOT|CIAS FALSAS

Aun no habfa descansado ell nuevo |

coincide, por una ironfa del destino
que Sc presta bien curiosos comenta-
rios, con la sentida muerte del general
Gonzalez Mufoz.
En- ese despacho arriman nuestros
hermanos de aver la brasa a su SARDINIA,
expresando, con gravedad que nos re-
sulta comica, la certeza de que las ms
trucciones del general son favorables
para los suyos, que estos constituirfan
ell Ministerio insular, Y que ell pacto
fusionista iba ser anulado en- absolu-
to. Todo este en- una forma enreYe-
sada obscura que revela grandes equi-
vocaciones.
Par6cenos que los disidentes proceden
con escasa habilidad, dando pocas
y
obIigandose a rectiticaciones, siempre

falsas tales noticias. Entendenos que es
premature cuanto Sc olga sobre esta

An UNIQUE Pet.

Frank Bryson, of Elk Neck, has pet coon
which follows him around like a dog His
coonship even persists in sleeping with his
master. Bryson found a den of young coons
in the woods about year ago, one Of which
he carried to his home. They had not then
opened their eyes. and he fed the little coon
on new milk with spoon for many weeks.
1t thrived and soon began to feed itself by
dipping its paw in the milk and slipping it
until satisfied. 1t gets into all kinds of mis-
chief when following its master around. and
will romp and play with the dog by the
hour. But the strangest thing about the
coon is that he must be fastened up when
Mr.. Bryson comes to town or he will follow
him, nor is he at ease until his master re-
turns

These fish work up the bay in the early sum
mer, and continue among the falls
OF the river for many miles, furnishing
as fine rod and reel fishing as can be had.
About Octoraro many people are engaged in
rock fishing in moderate way, mostly by
gill nets, and as a rule realize good prices
for the fish But the enormous catches OF
the purse seines this summer has tended to
demoraize the market and render tlshing in
the old way unproiltable.
One day this week one of the purse net
fishermen went into Havre de Grace with
twenty-eight barrels making fully three tons
of fish, which were caught in the vicinity Of
Spesutia Island. There are eight or ten out
fits, haling from Rock Hall and vicinity,
engaged in the business. The operators
cruise about the upper bay and watch around
the various bars frequented by schools OF
these fish. The net il laid out around them
and in most cases the whole bunch Of fish is
taken. One case is known, about the Goth Of
June, where the school of fish was so large
that a part of them had to be turned out,
and yet there were landed in the seine six
tons and a half of striped bass.
1t is safe to say that during the past five
weeks at least thirty to forty tons OF rock
fish have been taken by purse nets within
twenty miles of the mouth of the Susque-
hanna river, of which quantity possibly not
one-third would have been otherwise taken,
and for that third no doubt as much clear
money would have been realized.
The trawl fishing from Lapidum, on up
the river for IA number Of miles, has for two
or three years been attracting anglers from
every quarter, so successful have been their
catches and so genuine their sport. 1t has
been an easy matter to land anywhere from
a dozen or so of rock fish in day, but if the
purse net fishermen keep on the days Of the
hook and line fishermen, or even of gill net
fishermen, will soon be over.

To Enforce the Dairy Law.

The State Live Stock Sanitary Board is
after owners Of dairies who do not keep
their premises up to the standard required by
law. Recently Mr.. c. w. Melville, Secretary
of the Board, made a tour Of inspection and
as Il result notices have been sent to a num-
ber of proprietors in different parts of the
State that the ventilation, flooring and drain
age Of their establishments are faulty, and
that proper care is not exercised in the handl-
ing of milk. The deinquents are given until
July 30, to reform these conditions and if
this is not done the Board will prohibit the
sale of milk from such daries. 1t is the pur-
pose Of the Board to exercise its fullest auth
orty in maintaining a high standard for the
dairies of the State, and those who violate
the law will be handled in II way to furnish
an object lesson for the future.

PROHIBITION PARTY.
w. T. Weldon Named the Cecil Member
of the State Central Committee.

William T. Weldon, Of this county, was
named the Cecil member OF the State Central
Committee at the State Convention of the
Prohibition Party, held at Glyndon, on We'd
nesday The delegates named to the con-
venion from this county were: Rev. A. S.
Mowbray, w. T. Weldon, Rev. w. P. Comp
ton, John +. Roach, John I. Scarborough,
Rev. L. Z. Poole, j. f. Anderson, A. Il.
Brown, W. l.. Coudon, Rev. G.. Z. Jones and
r. j. Wilson.
Tho platform adopted by the State Con.
vention was confined to the single issue of
the prohibition Of the liquor traffic and did
not touch on woman suffrage, single tax
free silver or other doctrines, such as has
frequently been included in Prohibition party
platforms. The platform was submitted bv
J Frank Tucker, chairman OF The committee
on resolutions, and was adopted without
change. 1t renews the allegiance OF the
Maryland Convention to the National Pro-
hibtion party, and announces the belief that
''the traffic in alcoholic beverages is destruc-
tive OF the best interests of humanity; that
its legalzation is opposed to the common
sense and common safety of our people and
should not be tolerated or endorsed by God
fearing and humanity-loving citizens and
that we, therefore, declare anew for its al
soute suppression by legal enactment for
beverage purposes, and that its sale for
mechanical and medicinal purposes should
be regulated by statute as other poisons, in
the interests of the public welfare"
