The Game Laws.

There is talk that the next Legisla-
ture will be asked to make s. me
changes in the game and fish laws of
the State. One of the bills to be pre-
sented has been drawn by the Penn
sylvania Fish Protective Association
assisted by members Of the State Fish
Commission. The laws are now so
diverse that it would be an excel
lent thing to have them cOdifed and
uniform throughout the State This
would settle the question Of conflict
between special and general laws and
everyone would know just what was
lawful. Such action would involve
considerable labor, but it is the only
proper way The Legislature should
stop trying TO patch up pthe game laws
pass one clear cut, well condensed,
comprehensive act TO cover the whole
State.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondence)
WASHINGTON. D. c., DEo. IL, 1900.
President Mckinley S attitude to-
ward the amended Hay -Pauncefote
treatyhas beenso persisently misrep-
resented that the assumption isfair
that much of it has been intentiond
The U. S. Constitution gives the Sen
ate equal power with thePresident in
the making of treaties. There
fore, when the Senate in its wisdom
saw fit to amend the treaty with
Great Britain that had been ne
gotiated by the Executive branch of
the government, it was only exer-
cising its constitutional right and
it is ridiculous to say it thereby
furnished any legitimate cause
for objection, either on the part
of President Mckinley or of the
government of Great Britain
and it was an insult to the intelli.
gence and patriotism of Secretary
Hay, who was tile Presidents per.

les of his having threatened to re-
sign because the treaty was amend

ed by the House which is amended
by the Senate would have as much
justification for resigning The
large majority of the Senate, which
adopted the Davis amendment to the
treaty, by which this government
reserves the right to control and
defend the Nicaragua Canal in its
own way spoke for itself, and the
other proposed amendments, includ.
ing the abrogation of the Clayton.
Bulwer treaty will doubtless get as
large a vote in the Senate. Presi.
dent Mckinley does not regard thi.
as any reflection either on himself
or Secretary Hay, and when tine
amended treaty is ratified, which
which it is hoped it viii be before
the Christmas recess, he will at once
forward it to theBritish government
If the British Government rejects il
that will be its own affair. Opinion
differs as to whether the rejection
of the treaty by Great Britain
would delay the Nicaragua Canal

WOMEN MUST WEAR HATS.
Priest Scores Female Practitioners
for Attending Mnss with
Bare Heads.

Rev. Father McGrath. rector of st,
Johns church at Fishkill Landing. n.
Y, delivered a discourse in which he
scored the young women members of
his parish for appearing al mass with
out hats, and gave notice that no shirt
waist men would be allowed to attend
services at his church a any time. The
parish of st. Johns is large one, and
is made up of members of many of the
prominent families of the town. Rev.
Father McGrath is an eloquent preach
er. Some time ago he delivered SER
mon to the young men, and scored
them for coming to services alone and
allowing the young women to depart
for home alone. He also urged them 10
marry.
Father McGrath said that at services
people should wear their best hats and
clothes. Not even sailor hats or toques
should be worn at mass. he said, but
women should adorn themselves in
their best bonnets. He said that many
times during the last summer he no.
ticed great number attending church
without their headgear, and it was his
intention to call them by name on
these occasions and reprimand them,
but they had always occupied extreme
back seats in the church.
However, now that the cool weather
was setting in, he would give his con-
gregation fair warming that any new
departure in the manner referred to
would not be tolerated next summer.
He considered it a vulgar practice, and
didnot approve of it. even on the street.
He also said that, although the shirt
waist men had not made their appear
ance in his church, he wished to warn
them that they would not be allowed
to do so al any time.

PLANNING UNIQUE SERVICE.
American National Red Cross to Hold
Twentieth Century Watch Meet
inGs on Last Night of Year.

Frank d. Higbee, of New York, has
come to London as director of the
twentieth century watch meetings,
which will be held in thousands of
American and Canadian cities and
towns on the last night of the present
year, in the interest Of the National
Red Cross, says the London correspond
ent of the New York Tribune. His sue
cess in obtaining messages and greet
ings from many of the most distin-
guished people of France for these
watch meetings is likely to be sur
passed in England, where the services
rendered by the American hospital
ship Maine are remembered with graft
tude. Mr.. Higbee has entered with en-
thusiasm upon his work in England,
and expects to obtain messages from
the queen, leading public men and rep
resentatives of all classes. He will re-
turn from England to the continent
and seek to interest the German en-
peror and other sovereigns in this
unique festival of the American Ma
tional Red Cross.

FREE TUITION TO PORTO RICO.
University of Chicago Trustees Com
sent to Take Ten Boys Mt
Morgan Park.

The University of Chicago trustees
have decided to admit ten Porto Ricap
boys to Morgan Park academy, tuition
free. This action was taken at the reg
ular monthly meeting. A request was
presented from G. Bumbaugh, commits
sioner of education in Porto Rico, that
the university give a number of young
Porto Rican men and women free ed
ucation.
Owing to the fact that the applicants
are between the ages of IA and 20 and
their education is limited, the trustees
decided that il was impossible for
them to do the university work, and
consequently the students would have
to enter the preparatory school. The
board concluded to offer free tuition to
ten students, provided their other ex-
penses were paid, the university having
no means of supporting them. AS the
Morgan Park academy is no longer CO.
educational, this offer is good only for
men students.
The trustees think some public-spir-
tied citizen who believes the United
States owes an education to the Porto
Ricans will offer to contribute enough
money to pay the living expenses of the
islander while here.

Lord Roberts excels in any exercise

Few are perhaps aware that Gen. Bull
Ter, in addition to being a brilliant

connoisseur of wines and a first-class

borhood, not only for beasts, but for
flowers and vegetables also.
Queen Victoria always took the great
est interest in clothes her children
wore. She would only allow simple and
comparatively inexpensive materials
for her little girls gowns, freshness
and simplicity being the keynotes to
the royal children's toilettes. In sum-

frocks and plain white straw hats
trimmed with ribbons, even when ac-
companying the queen to the public
functions they were occasionally al
lowed to attend.

COMPRESSED AIR CLEANING.
The Idea Is Centuries OId-Nexican
Women Use that Method in
Washing Clothes.

81 sometimes WONDER" said the man
from the southwest" relates the New
York Sun, whether the inventor who
turned compressed air to cleaning pur-
poses thought he had a brand-new idea.
If so, he was much mistaken. saw air
used for cleaning years ago. If num-
bered my years by centuries instead
of scores, 1 think 1 might have seen
1t at my birth just the same.
The older method is primitive, of
course. While the up-to-date system
carries the air from a central station
to the point of use, the original way is
to press it ON the spot. 1t is less dam
gerous. l first saw air used for the
next to godly purposes years ago down
in Mexico. A crowd of women were
scattered along the banks of a stream.
They knelt by fiat stones at the edge
of the water. BY the side of each wom-
an was the pile of garments to be
washed Each article lad been thor
oughly covered with soap from the
soapweed. Nature is generous down
there and grows the article.
The women took the garments one
by one and spread them out on the fiat
stones. Then they flirted and twisted
and rubbed them to take the dirt out.
Perhaps you imagine that they used
the stone as scrubbing board. Not
VI all. Mexican matrons don't like to
patch and mend or to make new clothes
any better than those north of the bor-
der.
THE washers took the well-soaped
garments and flung them over the
stone with flirt which caught air un-
derneath and puffed them up. This
motion is similar to that of the spoon
as the cook beats up the white of egg
to make it light. The air caught in the
wet cloth was k9eaded out as the baker
kneads the dough. 1t carried with it
the dirt. The act was repeated again
END again until the garment was white.
The wear wasn't greater than on a mod
ern scrubbing board, and the results
are as good. ! know, because | have
worn shirts washed in that way. And
this style of using air to clean was an
old story, they tell me, when Nero
