Gus Rubin, through his manager,
Billy Madden, has challenged jim
Jeifries for fight IN which the cham
plonship Is all that eau be gained or

ion Promised.
Bill Pepared by Ohio
Association.
Several Changes In the
Present Laws.
Fines to be Paid Into Special
Fund.

The Sportsmen's Protective Associa-
tion of Ohio, has formulated and had
printed a bill covering all matters of
game protection, and the same will go
before the next Legislature for the
purpose of making il II law. If en-
acted, this will cover the ground more
thoroughly than any other game laws
Ohio has ever had The bill is ex-
haustivc. 1t covers matters of tres
pass and the license fee necessary for
hunters. and hunter who cannot
show his license will straightway be
arrested by any game warden. consta>
bic or policeman by whom the demand
is made. The bill covers all matters
of game protection very fully and the
open seasons are very reasonable. An
objection is found to the matter of
duck hunting which the bill allows up
to April 10. There is a strong senti
ment against spring duck hunting.
Mongoian and English pheasants
and quail can be killed between No
vember / and December IL, inclusive;
woodcock between July a and Decem-
Der Is; squirrels, rabbits, phcasants
and rail birds between September 1
and December j., and wild duck be-
tween Sept. / and April 10.
The hunters license will be $125
and the money will be used to prose
cute all violation of game laws. The
killing Of all song, insectivorous and
plumage birds is strictly prohibited
by the new bill,
A feature of the bill is that it pro-
vdes against any license to hunt being
issued to person under 15 years of
age.
A new feature of the proposed law
says: "All fines imposed and collect
ed for violating any section of this
act shall he paid by the court collect
ing the same to the clerk of courts Of
the county in which said fine is col.
lected. The clerk Of the courts shall
pay all fines and Fees for license receiv-
ed by him under this act to the treas
urer of his county in June and Decem-
Der of each year. and at the same time
report to the county auditor the
amount so received. In February and
August of each year, the coun.
ty auditor shall remit, by war
rant on the county treasurer of his
county, the fines and licenses so col.
lectcd to the treasurer of state and
the same shall be placed to the credit
Of the fish and game fund of the state,
to be used for the protection of wild
animals, fowls or birds within the
state and for paying the costs of prose
cution under this act, and such other
expenses as may be incurred by and
through the Office of the commissioners
of fish and game of the state of Ohio.
The funds accruing under the pro-
visions of this act shall not be drawn
from the state treasury, except by war
rant issued by the secretary and chief
game warden of the state to the audi
tor OF state, and then only when such
order Is authorized by the commission
ers of fish and game.

AN OLD BEDsTEAD.
Bought for $75 and Finally Sold for
$500.

Bought for $15 and Finally Sold for
$500.
The story was told a few days ago OF
young lady in Poughkeepsie who was
the owner of beautiful piece of antique
furniture, which cost her SIS. and for
which she had been offered $500. The
story is true, the furniture being hand
somely carved o1d-fashioned four-posted
bedstead of mahogany. 1t was the pride of
the owner, and though not family heir
LOOM all her friends admired it. How
ever. when ex-Mayor Hull appeared on
the scene and pleaded for friend, who
had discovered that the bed had formerly
been the resting place of members of his
family, and who offered to duplicate the
bed and pay $500 besides, the owner, 1t
is said, at last reluctantly decided to part
with it.
The second piece of good fortune con-

John Barratt, of this city. In the con-
signment of Pan-American stamps sent

with the locomotive printed upside down.
Mr.. Brown. is something of collector.
and he recognized the fact that he had
something good. It is said that he sold
six of the stamps for SIS each, and is
holding the rest, the latest price offered
being $24. With the proct eds he has rent

for a week or sn-Poughkeepsie Eagle.

the public may be entertained. He believes
in, as far as possible, presenting some
thing that will prove not only diyerting,
but Instructive as well. The actor spoke
interestingly on this subject to repre-
sentative Of The Times during his en-
gagement at the Academy.
THE Man o'-Warsman, is a case in
point said Mr. Shea. In that play the
question Of the Nicaragua Canal is
handled in way that everybody can un-
derstand. Each year, and, in fact. as
many times during the season as may be
necessary. the lines are changed to fit the
situation as it develops. and in that way
interest is kept continually awake regard
ing it. / have been studying political his
tory for about eight years, ard read the
papers faithfully that l may keep abreast
of The times. l watch the cable despatch
es relative to the canal question, and de-
pend ON them for the changes made in
the play. We shall soon eliminate Spain
as the opposing power. for she is no long
er a force against this country. and an
other nation will De supplied in order to
make the story more probable.
such changes tend TO keep play frosk,
and good one may live for years under
similar conditions.
Another thing which helps US, though
there may be just a few who rebel
value of real criticism cannot be overes-
timated. What | mean by real criticism
is if a play, a scene, or an actor is bad,
to tell why anG where either is at fault
Then tie actor or author and reader may
profit. 1t never helps anybody to state
the fact without the reason l want to be
criticised, but in the way l speak OF. In

sion, perfection is never reached. There

gained. There remains always something
which may be improved upon, and though
this may be remedied, another takes its
place, and SO it goes.
Then, too, an actor has his limita-
tions, and the sooner he realizes it, the
better for him. For instance. a man may
be a fine surgeon, with delicate touch re-
quired of him, but in another line OF work
he is lost. So 1t is with us. An actor may
be thorough artist in heavy roles, but
he can't play juveniles. l believe in Civ
