Baltimore, Nd, June 25.-The last
Legislature of Maryland, through the
well-directed endeavors of the State
Game and Fish Protective Association,
succeeded in having many changes made
in the game and fish laws which the body
believes will result benefcially. The
changes in the laws have been Of such
character that it would be we'll for all
fishermen and water or field shooters
to be well posted before they start
operations. Secretary f. G. Kirkwood
has issued a digest of the new laws
showing changes in which Philadelphia
sportsmen who fish and shoot in Mary
land are particularly interested. Here
they are:
In Anne Arundel county il ia unlawful
to shoot robins at any time. The closed
season for woodcock Is now, in Anne
Arundel, from December 25th to Noyem
Der 18th, inclusive. The closed season
for grouse in this county is December 25th
to November 14th.
In Caroline county it is unlawful to co
on the marshes to shoot blackbirds
between January 1st and September 18th.
Squirrels or rabbits must not be killed
between November 10th and December
Gath.
In Cecil county citizens can now shoot
wild fowl from sink boxes or bushwback
boats, in Elk and Bohemia rivers, from
November LIST to March Sist, on Mon
days, Wednesdays, Fridays aud Satur-
days, by paying for license.
In Dorchester county there are several
changes in the game laws. The closed

Skilpots and sliders are added in the

and Dorchester is added to Worcester,
Calvert, Charles and ST. Mary's as the
counties exempt from the provisions OF
the law. None of these species of terra
pin smaller than five inches ON the under
shell shall be taken, and possession is
now conclusive evidence OF violation,
instead of prima facie evidence.
A change of Importance IN the Fred
erick county law is TO the effect that it is
unlawful to kill game birds or rabbits
until November, 1909.
In Montgomery county the closed
season for rabbits is changed to read
December Goth to November lat.

FATHER AND SON IN JAIL.

One for Embezzlement and the other for
Larceny--were Formerly OF Wilmington.
Pussy A. Walton, formerly of Will
mineton but recently residing on thirty
sixth street, Camden, N. j., is now in the

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

QUAINT NUGGETS" Selections from
Fuller. Hall, Selden. Herbert and Walton.
Compiled by Eveline Warner Brainerd.
New York: Fords, Howard & Hubert.
Cloth flexible, gilt top, As cents.
1.-THE Age of Elizabeth" is phrase
Synonymous with the most brilliant era
of English history. at least down to
that of Victoria; but the men who
made it so had line of SUCCESSORS dur
ing the next 50 years. who left the
reigns of James, Charles !, Cromwell
aud Charles IL hardly less notable.
The authors from whom selections have
been made for this latest addition to
the friendly and helpful Nugget
Series, were all born while Elizabeth
was on the throne, which she assembled
in 1547, and the latest survivor of them
lived till 1853, only two years before the
death Of Charles ii.
The first of these authors in the book
is DIR. Thomas Fuller, in studying whose
quaint and pithy writings Miss Eveline
Warner Brainerd was led to begin copy
ing out passages which grew to this
compilation. Coleridge speaks Of Fuller
as ''inoomparaEly the most sensible,
the least preiudiced great M of an
age that boosted a galaxy Of great
men," and later mentions his wit as
Surprising that of the wittiest in a
witty age.' Certainly, the specimens
of his shrewd, sane ethics in this book
let are nuggets suggestive Of great ORE
beds OF precious metal. The others are
Bishop Joseph Hall, the famous divine,
Offering acute observation, and lofty
contemplation, with certain satirical
hunor; John Selden, the learned
lawyer and parliamentarian, whose
vigorous, racy "Table Talk' has chiefly
preserved his varied genius for our
time ;George Herbert-courtier. scholar,
parson, poet, with his delicate fancies
and wise maxims: and, lastly, that
charming biographer and fascinating
apostle of 1.-THE Angle, Isaak Walton.
1t would be hard to gather a more de.
lightful company than these five men
whose careers we're all more or less re-
lated to each other, and some very in
timately. Modern as they often seem in
their keenness and apt philosophy, they
take us back to the days of Shake
speare, Spenser, Milton and Ben
Jonson, and the "quaintness" of their
utteranoes lies largely in the Eliza
bethan English of their expression
although that indeed is iorceful and
trenchant. An excellent portrait of
Fuller opens the book, and discrimi.
mating introduction by the coInpi Ter
awakens an interest which her intellI-
gently gathered nuggets more thar

found necessary to call in the police,
and Officers Davidson and Shields were

being sent to the police station Tyson
broke up the sewing machine. Two
warrants were sworn out for him, one
charging him with assaulting Mr.. Hill.
dreth, with intent to commit murder,
and the other of interfering with an
officer in the performance of his duty.
On the former charge lie was arraigned
yesterday before Magistrate Daley and
waived hearing and was held in 5000
bail for the Court of General Sessions.
Mr.. Hildretb, when seen about the
case, said the machine was sold to
Miss Tyson on the. 18th of last July,
and since that time only 81 has been
paid on it. 1t is $50 machine.
The Tysors gave an old machine
in trade for the new one when they
made the purchase and when the mat
ter of returning the now machine
was discussed recently the old machine
was demanded, but Mr.. Hildreth said
| it was not in the possession Of the COM
pany and another one would not be ac.

in ruins. The firemen were injured by
falling walls. They were standing on
a fire escape on the side of the build
ing. They had two streams of hose out,
and were playing on the fire, when sud-
denly the walls began to topple, and,
in spite of the shouts of warning given,
the men were caught and carried to the
ground BY the masses Of brick and
timbers which fell as the wall COL
lapased. One or two of the firemen
jumped, but even they we're struck and
cut ty the falling bricks and timbers.
Williams was taken out dead from
under mass Of Erick and stone with
his head badly crushed, and he was
otherwise cut and mangled. Six of the
others were SO badly injured that they
were removed to the West Penn Hos.
pital.
The building destroyed was valued at
5000, 600, and the stock of patterns and
machinery probably $4,000 Many of
the patterns cannot be replaced. The
company manufactured pipe fittings
and valves.
At o O'Clock, the fire ives under con-
troll.

Joseph b. Harrington, proprietor of
the Easton, Md, creamery, has put in
a plant for making dried ourd out of
the milk after all the cream and butter
have. been extracted from it. The
whey and cuId are separated and the
latter dried down by heat and erapora-
tion until the residuum is left as q
hard and brittle solid substance in the
evaporating pans. When taken from
them the cakes are broken into pieces.
put in sacks and shipped to dried curd
factories where the stuff is ground into
a powder and used in the manufacture of
paints and glazings. Buttons and other
small articles heretofore made from
bone or celluloid are now made from
this material. There are two factories
in the United States using dried curd-
one in Vermont town and another in
Philadelphia The product from the
Easton creamery is shipped to the Yer.
mont factory. Heretofore this SKINNED
milk has gone to waste and been a total
loss, except small portion Of it fed to
hogs. To solidify it is not an expensive
operation, nor is a processing plant
costly, and it is found that there Is q
good profit in securing this residuuru.
Nature abhors waste as much as she
does a vacuum and the business ten
denoy now is to utilize in some way
every particle of the raw material and
have no waste.

There is much speculation among the
members of City Council as to what
stand William j. Johnston, the new
member, will take when it comes to the
matter of electing officers. He has not
stated his position, but it is believed he
will act Independently until he becomes
better acquainted with the condition of
affairs, and at present neither element in
the Democratic majority can count upon
him for support.
