Fish Law Unconstitutional.

President Judge Schuyler, of North
ampton county, has handed down an
opinion of considerable Importance, in
which the act of 1889, relative to viola
tions OF the fish law, is declare to be
unconstitutional. George Walter, of
Palmer township, had been arrested on
complaint of Fish Warden Flynn, of
Easton, who charged the defendant with
having violated the law by fishing with
a dipnet in the Bushkill creek, trout
stream. Alderman Drummer, Of Easton,
before whom the case was tried, fined
Walter 500, and directed him to pay
the cost of prosecution. An appeal was
taken from the Judgment of the alder
man, and now Judge Schuyler has de-
cared the law to be unconstitutional.

THEATRICAL.

Tuneful harmony, beautiful women,
display in conjunction with the best
talent, the most active dancers, and the
sweetest singers of the stage, help to
complete the most finished performance
in the farce comedy line now enroute.
These excellent attributes belong to the
production of Hoyt's "a Day and a
Night" The company roster includes
names familiar to every theatre-goer
and the responsibility of the name of
Hoyt's is unquestioned.

Miss Agnes Burroughs, who plays
here on Friday evening, is generally
acknowledged to be the best exponent
of the part of Lady Isabel in East
Lynne" since the time of Lucille West
crn. Ehinently fitted for the role, en-
dowed with a charming personality and
stage presence, she won unstinted praise
from the press and public during her
tour of the principal cities of the coun-
try last season, as well as upon the oc
casion of her New York debut last
week.

George w. Larsen and his COMPANY
presented "a Hindoo Hoodoo" last
evening in as good manner as the play
would permit. The plot of the comedy
is not of the style that makes Free
land audience clamor for return date,
and while neither the plot nor the
actors can be adversely criticised the
general opinion of those who saw last
nights performance is that lot of
good energy is being wasted in trying to
make "A Hindoo Hoodoo' go.

THE BosToNIANs.

This popular, musical organization paid us its annual visit last night and presented the old time fayorite, Robin Hood," before fairly large audience. Although the faces of most of those who have made the Bostonians fa- nlous are now not visible their places are filled with artists who adequately supplant them. Henry Clay Barnabee Is the same humorous and accomplish ed sheriff of Nottingham. His deline- atfon of the character was superb and was marred only by one or two mental lapses. Albert Parr made an accept able Robin Hood" but it can hardly be said that he fills the place of his predecessor Miss Adele Rafter was delightful in her impersonatiOn of the jealous Alan-a-Dale. Her singing of 70. Promise Me-" was a gem and merited the applause it received. Es- felle Wentworth as Maid Marion was a decided fayorite. Her natural beau tr was enhanced materially by her costumes and her singing was of a pleasing character. John DunsmOre. -as Will Scarlet, gave entire satisfac- ton. as did also Charles R. Hanby. as Little John. The chorus betokened the same careful training as on former oc- casions. and the costumes and scenery were excellent.

 The throng seemed to take another long breath, and then to hold it as, the few preliminaries answered, MT. Ray was bidden to look at the face of the deceased. Pale, composed, yet with infinite sadness of mien, the young officer, campaign hat in hand, stepped over to the trestle. and the steward again slowly withdrew the light covering, again exposing that placid face.
 The afternoon sunshine was wan- ing The bright glare of the mid- day hours had given pla.e within the inclosure to the softer, almost shad- owy light of early eve. Ray had but just come in from the street without where the slanting sunbeams burst ing through the clouds beat hot upon the dazzling walls, and his eyes had not yet become accustomed to the change. Reverently, pityingly, he bent and looked upon the features of the dead. An expression, first of in- credulity, then of surprise, shot over his face.
 He closed his eyes as though to give them strength for sterner test, and then, bending lower, once more looked; carefully studied the fore head, eyebrows, lashes, mouth, nose and hair, then, strengthening up, he slowly faced the waiting room and said:
