LIVE PIGEON SHOOTING.
Why Delawareans Go Out of the State to
Engage in thefsport.

Why Delawareans Go Out of the State to
Engage in thersport.
Some people not familiar with the
laws on the subject have inquired why
Delawareans who desire to shoot at
live pigeons go out Of the State when
they want to engage in the sport.
There is law in this State prohib-
iting the shooting of live pigeons, on
the ground that il is cruel to do SO,
but in Pennsylvania. according to
some local sportsmen, there is no
barrier. A prominent marksman, who
is informed on such matters. told a
reporter of The Gazette that Penn
sylyania had such law, but it had
been overruled by the court. the point
having been made that the shooting of
live pigeons was not cruel, but was
heneficial, as it served as a means Of
training inarksmen.
An effort was made to obtain some
definite information concerning the re-
marks of the tmarksmen relative to the
Pennsylvania ruling, but without sue.

facts are as he stated.

Other Notes

Marcus Hook, Dec 1.-THE barrel
factory at the plant OF the Union
Petroleum Company at Marcus Hook,
closed down last evening for an N
definite period and a number of men
are out OF work in consequence.
During the past month It has been
clearly shown that there is not any
profit in the shipment OF barrel oil,
for the present at least. The failnre
to show any profit Is caused by the
high rates of freight which at present
prevail
The large shipments of coal from
this country to European countries,
have placed freight-carryinB vessels
In demand A high rate OF freight is
offered to vessels carrying coal and
consequently the rates for carrying
|other freight have advanced consider

pany about S1.20 per barrel for ship
ping oil to foreign ports. The rates
paid the large schooner Stotesbury,
which loaded at the works several
weeks ago, were the highest paid by
any oil company in twenty-five years.
The big advance in rates has eaten
up all the profit and as a result the
company will discontinue shipping
oil in barrel until the rates are re-
duced
