neware of Unlawful Fishing.

The League of American Sports
men, with head Office in New York,
which is organized for the purpose
of protecting the game and game
fishes, song, insectivorouS and other
innocent birds, and whose prime OBJ
ject is to enforce game laws, has III
formation that certain people are
in the habit of placing fish traps in
some of the streams of the county
in violation of law. We hope that
such information is not we'll found
ed and that the people of this coun-
ty are law abiding. However, lest
some one inadvertently should be
guilty of infractions it may be prop
err to say that the league officialsa are
keeping an eye open and that sus-
poets will be watched with view
to prosecution If caught placing
traps, or taking fish out of same.
If you are on the safe side of the
law there need be no apprehension
but if you are inclined to go little
beyond it's limits be careful or
there may be trouble. "a word to
the wise" etc.

somewhat bruised last Sunday in an
accident He was taking Mr.. Ford,
wife and child from Ardtornish

to Port Jervis, and that gentleman,

in town, had alighted On re-en-
tering the carriage Mr. Heller for a
second laid down the lines to fasten
a curtain when the horses suddenly
started. He sprang forward and
seized one of the lines near the sad
die but was thrown down and the

ran a little distance when the pole
of the wagon struck a tree and the
team was loosened from 1t. The oc-
cupants were not at all injured

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 20, 1901.
Secretary Gage and his daughter,
Mrs Pierce, left Washington this
morning with the remains of Mrs.
Gage, which will be inferred at
Rose Hill cemetery. Chicago. There
was brief funeral service at Secre-
tary Cages residence, conducted by
DIR. N. d. Hills, pastor of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, formerly of the
Central church, Chicago, an old per
sOnal friend of the family. The pail
bearers, with the exception of Col.
Bingham, of the army, who repre-
sented President Mckinley, were
officials of the treasury department;
Assistant Secretaries Spaulding,
Taylor and Allies. Treasurer Rob-
erts, Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Yerkes, Director Of the Mint
Roberts and Chief Wilkes of the
Secret Service. Sorrow for the
death of Mrs. Gage is by no means
confined to official circles. During
her residence in Washington she en-
deared herself to many by her rare
qualities both of heart and mind.
Many kilograms of coincidence we're
received by Secretary Gage before
he left Washington, including one
from the President and Mrs. McKin-
ley and one from each member of
tine presidential party in San Fran
cisco.

Women penounee PolveamY.


When the resolutions deuouncing
plural marriages and Mormon prac-
tees were read in the Woman s
Board Of Home Missions Wednes-
day, several hundred women, prac-
tically representing the entire Pres
byterian church of America, united
in a vigorous protest against polyg-
amous Mormonism and every one of
them rose to her feet and made an
earnest response to a call for a vote.
The resolutions set forth that
there is increasing evidence that the
Mormon leaders do not intend to
keep faith with the government and
abandon polygamy, and that they
are urging the colonization of other
states to get legislation and secure a
balance of political power and so
prevent the passage Of an anti-po-
lygamous constitutional amend
ment.

The Valley Railroad.

Reports are current that the Del
aware Valley railroad will be ex-
tended up to Port Jervis to connect
with the Erie, and it is also intimat-
ed that the Pennsylvania railroad is
behind the enterprise, so as to OBJ
tain a feeder for its branch which
now extends to Manunka Chunk.
This road would give our Jersey
friends along the river easy access
to their capital city and no doubt
would divert a large portion of the
trade in this valley to Philadelphia,
where staple goods can be bought
cheaper than in New York. We
are now so isolated from all parts of
our own state that our people have
become practically New Workers in
sentiment and about all our trade
goes there, This road, if built, will
put us within the confines of our
own grand commonwealth in COM
merce and thought and make us

Senator German is playing for
a bigger stake than his old seat in
the senate in trying to e-establish
his hold on the state of Maryland
He wants the senatorship, of course,
if he can get Il, which Maryland re-
publicans do not believe he can do,
but it is to be only a stepping stone
to the democratic nomination for
president. According to a senator,
who presumably knows all about it,
Mr.. German has the promise of a
number of influential democrats
that if he can get himself back into
the senate and Maryland back into
the democratic column, they will
support him as n candidate for the
democratic presidential nomination.
This, however, is only interesting
as gossip, as the "if" which must
be surmounted to get this promised
support is a little too big for Mr..
German to get over
