A venerable, white haired clergyman
recently preached in the parish of a
friend. He had hardly got back to the
vicarage from the church when the door
bell rang and charming girl of 1S
asked to see him. He received her.
They talked about the sermon and other
things until finally she asked dif1ident
ly;
ooh, won't you please give me a lock
of your hair?''
Certainly, my child" said the old
gentleman, fattered at the request
"I'll send it to you tomorrow, and he
did.
On his return to his own home he
had five more requests of the same kind
and he proudly boosted to his wife that
he was glad to see that he had not yet
lost his power to please. All went well
until his wife received this note;
Dear Mrs. ---, won't you please
ask your husband to send me Just lit.
tie lock of his hair3 We have all been
taking lessons in making hair flowers
So many of the other girls asked him
and he sent it to them-that | thought
would rather ask you to get it for me
Wont you please do this for me2 1t is
so hard to get white hair fer lilies of
the valley. "
This was a terrible blow, and the less
now said about locks of hair in that old
gentleman S presence the better.

The Legendre Trial.

On April % constable Geo. w. Pierce
and policeman T. w. Parker found nearly
20 gallons OF brandy and whiskey in the
cellar OF the dwelling occupied by J. M lie
gendre, and on Tuesday OF last week Lee
eendre was arranged before Justice {.
X. Hubbard, charged with keeping intox'
icating liquors with intent to sell. State S
attorney Slack conducted the case for the
state and the respondent was defended
by Howe of St. Johnshury, Cook OF New
port and Gage of LyndonyiIe. The
court was held in village hall and large
number Of interested spectators were
present About 80 witnesses were called
and it was proven that Legendre had for
several months been receiving about once
a week a barrel which was billed as
mineral water" and the usual cost OF
same was $1,000. During the progress
OF the trial officers found barrel and a
box containing about 16 gallons OF whs-
key in bottles, billed to Legendre. This
was seized and brought into court as
corroborative evidence.
After able pleas by Howe and Cook for
respondent and Slack for the state, the
jury took the case at about midnight and,
after celebrating more than an hour,
came in to ask the justice if they were to
decide in accordance with their own opin-
ion or according to the evidence. On
being informed that they must decide ac-
cording to the evidence, they retired and
Is minutes later came in with a verdict
OF mot guilty" How they could arrive
at such a verdict in view Of the evidence
presented, was conundrum to most Of
those who had heard the evidence in the
case. But the jury was made up OF men
of character and intelligence, and of good
standing in the community and, while
the verdict was not what was hoped and
expected by the better element of the vii
lage, we must suppose that, while they
had little doubt OF respondents guilt
they thought the evidence produced by
the state did not prove it beyond "rea-
sonable doubt"
Mr.. Legendre left town on the day fol-
lowing the trial and there has been no
hearing relative to the last seizure.

waters of the bay. Their product is ship
ped to this city and sold by the barrel.
In this way. the veterans keep themselves
supplied with pocket money, and it is a
substantial addition TO their incomes in
many cases. Two men in a boat can haul
in hundreds of crabs in day, and these
are sold by the barrel TO the wholesale
merchants of Norfolk and other points
along the bay. 1t has been thought for a
long time that the veterans were the main
stay of the Washington crab market, but
the events Of the last few weeks do lot
bear out this theory.
Crabs have been very plentiful during
the time named, although the operations
of the veterans have been completely shut
down by the fever. The crabs for Wash
ington come from various points along the
Potomac River. where they never were so
plentiful as during the present season.
Thousands of them are caught and shipped
here every day, and the supply seems end
les. Every river boat carries load of
barrels which contain nothing but crabs
on their up-river trips. The fish market
is steadily resuming its normal condition,
and, although the price have advanced
somewhat, there is no fear expressed for
its Immediate future.

After making his first three Dagger Mac
was put out trying to score on O'Brien' S

time by running up and down the line
long enough to allow O'Brien to reach
third, from which Jack scored the first
run of the game. The twirler's second
three-bagger scored two men, and he
crossed the plate little later on Slagle's

McFarlan held the Orphans down to six

AFFECTED BY THE Fever
WashingtOn's Sea Food Supply Di
minished for a Time.
Clam Famine Narrowly Ayerted
by the Triumph Over Yellow Jack
The Market Resuming Normal
Conditioner Peculiar Thing About
the Crab Product During the Scare.

Now that the crab famine is a thing of
the past, there comes news of clam fam
inc that was narrowly averted. The yell
low fever at Hampton, it is said, was re-
sponsible for the whole thing and il has
well-nigh depleted the fish market. All
the clans that are sold il the District,
with a few exceptions, came from within
the district which is now under quaran-
tine. The clam diggers and their grounds
were alike shut off from the consumer by
the order of the health authorities closing
the ports of Old Point Comfort and New
port News. Thousands of the shell fish
had been shipped from these points daily,
but as soon as the ports were closed the
supply was shut off so suddenly that be-
fore the merchants in the city had time
to think their supply dwindled to nothing,
and one day last week it was almost an
impossibility to buy a clam at any price.
The market has recovered, however, and
is now fast becoming what it was several
months ago. CLANS are not the only
things that have been affected by the yell
low fever, however. Almost every variety
Of sea food has advanced in price be-
cause of the scarcity in the market di-
rectly due TO the closing of the two ports
named. The merchants of this city were
IN the habit of purchasing their stock at
various points along the coast. The fish
would be packed in barrels with ice and
shipped TO Cape Charles, from which point
they would be conveyed to Old Point by
regular line Of steamers, which piled be-
tween those two points. When Old Point
was shut of, the steamers stopped their
trips and the supply Of fish was tenn
porarily cut off. Arrangements were made
for having ii shipped by railroad. but the
freight tariff is much more expensive and
IN consequence almost every variety of
hsh has advanced materially in price
There are many varieties of fish which
have always been shipped to this city via
New York, but the great bulk consumed
here comes up the Potomac River.
One OF the strangest things about the
temporary panic in the fish market is that
crabs have been as plentiful during the
entire period as the merchants could wish.
The effects OF the crab famine have en-
tirely passed off, and all the shell fish
needed for consumption in the District
have been received here. Crabs consti-
tute and provide a large part of the in
