the owner or occupant shall stock and keep
stocked, at his individual expense the
waters Of said land with trout or other fish
artifcially hatchsd or reared" But the
owners right to recover damages in an
action for trespass remains the same that it
always has been.
If Fisherman" wishes to fish the choice
trout streams of this section he will have
to take his chances, to a certain degree the
same as he always has. IN case he is
troubled, about the only assurance he has is
that he will be fined $40 less than hereto
fore provided the brook he fishes is not
posted and stocked with artifcially Matched
or reared fish. As to whether the fish are
arti6cially reared there seems to be no sure
way Of determining in advance. Of course
if the owner orspossessor Of the property
invaded brings action he will have to
prove that his brook is stocked as required
by the statute tor otherwise he could
recover damages for the trespass only.
Our advice to " Fisherman" is to breathe
$40 easier, but to keep an eye out as of
old.

We can make no better comment on this
revolving exhibition otlssvagery than vas
made by the Springfield Republican IN an
editorial yesterday: "The annals OF the
savage will be searched in vain for sny-
thing worse than the exhibition given to
the world by the white civilization OF the
state Of Georgia. The best that the devil
ish ingenuity Of man has ever been able to
do, in any age or among any people, to
make the ordeal of death as excrucisting
and awful as it could possibly be made,
was equaled in the torture and mutiation
and burning of the negro Hose and if any
large company OF human beings at any
stage in the development Of the race ever
gave greater evidence Of JOY in such spec
tacle Or rushed with greater eagerness to
secure mementoes Of the fearful tragedy in
the form of pieces of the burned flesh and
bits of the charred bones, history makes no
record OF the fact" M

The Amended Trout Law.

A communication signed Fisherman"
has reached the TIMES Office. The writer
asks further light on the act Of the last
legislature abolishing the fine of $40 for
fishing on posted premises, unless the
brooks on such premises have been stocked
with trout or other fish artifcially hatched
or reared.
Fisherman" should keep in mind that
this statute does not give fisherman the
right to overrun any mans premises. The
free and unhindered possession of ones
own property is an inalienable right Of
every American citizen. The state, or
a corporation given the right of eminent
domain by the state, ,can disturb bis posses
sion, but even then all damages must be
paid. Against the rest of the world the
owners right is absolute. If fisherman,
berry picker, boy after apples or any
one else invades the premises without the
permission of the owner or possessor he
becomes trespssser and the owner of the
property can recover his damages. This
Is common law and so was law before ever
the statute adding fine Of $40 was
enacted. The statute giving a right q
recover $40 in addition to the damage.
caused by the trespass has been amended
SO that the $40 cannot be recovered ''unlesi

Religion IN Rural Districts.

Gov. Rollins of New Hampshire has pre-.
cipitated an animated discussion. In his
fast day proclamation he said: "There are
towns where no church bell sends forth its
solemn call from January to January.
There are villages where children grow to
manhood unchristened. There are COM
munities where the dead are laid away
without the benson of the name Of Christ,
and where marriages are solemnized only
by justices of the peace" This statement
has been defended by some and severely
criticised by others.
The Essex Record has been studying
Walton's Vermont Register and finds thst
in the state there are 110 churches without
pastors. The inference is that Vermont is
in no better condition than New Hamp-
shire. The Record says: Concentrated
Christian effort apparently is lacking IN
many communities in the state. There
appears to be too great desire to Obtain
notoriety by making contributions to fer
eign missions What is needed is more
home missionary work. The heathen in
Vermont need Christian training as much
as the heather in foreign lands. It seems
toy be borne out by facts that there are
Christians in the state who are blind to
home conditions, but are possessed OF
double vision when viewing conditions in
remote distances. In their religion as in
their investments, distance lends enchant-
ment."
1t is q sad fact that the Christian Sabbath
both in the rural communities and in the
villages is now desecrated in ways that
would seem shocking to the generation that
lies under the sod. The bicycle, the Sun
day drive, the Sunday picnic, the Sunday
steamboat and railroad excursions and
many other forms of Sunday amusement
and diversion were unknown Is years ago.
There has been a wonderful change in
New England in what is considered q
proper observance of the Lords day and
with results that cannot be beneficial to the
community or its citizens. Making Sun,
day more day Of pleasure than of religious
observance has effected church attendance
disastrously. The knowledge of Scripture
that nearly every child OF 10 or 12 year,
possessed generation ago is now rart
accomplishment. 1t is possible, nay prob
able, that our fathers were too narrow, TOT
strict, and that the present worldliness il
in measure reaction but the lessons o
childhood can never be forgotten and al
the knowledge of Scripture that thousand
of people have is what was taught them b.
godly fathers and mothers.
Qnery: If the present generation neglec
to teach their children the everlasting
truths of the gospel, but do teach them,h
example at least, to observe Sunday in tn
way they themselves observe 1t, what shal
we expect of the second and third gen
erations

COURT DENIES THE PETITION.
and metropolitan Rail-
road COnIpnny's Case Decided.

Justice McComas yesterday denied the
petition of the Brightwood Railroad Com
pany asking that the metropolitan Com
pany be compelled to extend to ii certain
reciprocal trackage facilities referred 10 in
the petition. The matter has been Il sub
ject of litigation between these street rail-
way companies for some months and has.
on several occasions, demanded the consid
Grafton of the District courts, but not until
yesterday was the matter finally disposed
of. The decree granted by Justice Me
Comas is. however, not TO operate TO the
prejudice of the Brightwood company.
which has the privilege or renewing its
petition at another time.
The objection raised to the proposals o.
the Brightwood company by the MetropoI-
itan company is that, under the PROPOSE
tion made by the former. it would be re
quired 10 furn sh the NO i've p5wer to move
the cars of the Brightwood company over
its lines covered by the agreement In
passing upon the matter, Justice McComas
held that the act of Congress OF lS94 which
governs the case. does not require the
Metropolitan railroad to furnish electric
power to propel the cars of the petitioning
company over its tracks.
