THE FISHING SHORES.

An old fisherman, who has IL lowed
the business for many years, said on
Saturday that oy sters and fish are get
ting very scare in the Potomac river,
and it is bis belief that something will
have to be done to protect them. The
laws on the statute looks Of Maryland
aud Virginia, be says, sf rd Potomac
river products no protection whatever.
Many people say the spring ii hing sea-
SOD is bst k ward this year, but this vet.
ersn fisherman says poor resulis are
due TO the scarcity of 6.h.
Years ago, be said, 6sh and oysters
we're plentiful Fishermen on the Po'
tomac river always did we'll with their
nets. Now, he ssys, there are 90 many
pound nets from Alexandria to the
bay that it is hard for the fish to es-
cape them. Something, he thinks,
should be done to prevent this whole
sale slaughter of the fish, 30 that the
good seasons of years ago will return.
Terrspin and ducks, be says, prom
ise to become extinct unless some pro-
tectiye measure is adopted. The
spring fs hing season he's opened and
the big seiues are now In operation.
Thus far the catch has been anything
but large, although there has been q
fair supply from the Carolipa wsters.
Captain A. Faupce is operating the
shore known as "Psssapatanza" this
wear. This is the Virginia fishing shore
iartbe.t from this city. Twenty men
and 500 fathoms of net are employed.
"Passa patar "a" is fisbed early 10 the
season, the chief catch consisting OF rock.
fsn and percn, hut at this season chad
and herring are the principal product.
Windmill Point" is the next shore on
the Virginia side Of the river, and 1t is
considered one of the best for shad and
herring. X. A. Golden, who is fishing
the shore now, employs forty men, sew
eral horses and uses steam power
in hauling 1,000.fathom net. Ballen-
ger & Gibson are fishing what is known
as the "Gums," famous place for
rock and perch although few sbad and
herring are caught there. Three miles
to the north MIR. Waller operates q net
of / 900 fathoms with forty men and
about six horses. This shore is noted
for the big catches Of herring early 10
the season. "Freestone Point" is ten
miles away, and this shore is being
fishe1 by BAllenger & Gibson, who use
l 200 fathoms Of seine.
Perhaps the most important fishery
on the Virginia side of the river is
"Stony Point" where Mr.. Nel,zsy uses
steam power to haul 600 fatboms Of
seine. Seventy. i've men are employed
at this shore. Two hauls q day are
made, and q steam tug is constantly
employed 10 carry the fish away. On
the Msrylsnd side OF the river there
are not so many fishing shores, and the
nets are not very lengthy ones.
Besides these nets there are small
seines operated in the numerous cree k'
on both sides OF the river, besides The
numerous stationary neis, SO that tho
shad and herring have no easy time
reaching the spawning grounds witbir
the District, where they are properly
protected.

MEDICINE AND FAITH.

Rev. John w. Daugherty, pastor OF
the Fulton Apostolic Church, of Rich
mond, and bis large congregation have
come to the conclusion that medicine
and Christianity are not compatible
The official organ OF the church is the
"Everls ing Gospel" and in it's col
umns Cd Saturday DR.. Daug heriy said:
ITO our way of thinking medicine
and Christianity are opposed to each
other, and are utterly beyond recon-
C liatiop. 1t Is continual stumbling
block of faith. aud is frequently the
cause Of painful failure on the part OF
those who pray sincerely.
"Our personal experience has led us
to inquire into the cause of our own
personal failure 10 certain. cases, and
we bslieve it was all because physicians
we're in charge and medicines in use.
We ask no one to give up the physician
aud the physic; for they will not and
cannot do so from the heart, unless
it is a matter of genuine faith, but We
have ds fiuitely decided never to pray
with the sick for healing when the peo'
ple retain the services of physician or
us % dicine. We may pray, but not
for healing"
Mr.. Daugherty explains this by say.
ing that while he holds to the teach.
inSs that Christians should obey the
Scriptures in regard to sickness and
call for the elders OF the church and
LET them do rs prescribed, they should
not have the services Of the elders and
the physician at the same time. They
should hold on to the doctor until they
can fully trust God and let the services
of the elders alone.
"There are two we'll known ply
sicisns In my church." said Mr.. Daugh
erty, "but neither of them takes medi
cine. When needed they call for the
services of the elders to pray over then
and snuoint them with oil, as required
by the Scriptures"
