REED BIRD SEASON 100 EARLY.
Birds DO Not Have Time TO Fatten Before
Slaughter Begins.

Col. A. L. Ainscow, the veteran res
taurateur, thinks the Legislature made an
error when it fixed the time for the opening
of the reed bird season ut August 25th. In
the colonei's opinion the time is too early
by two weeks. The birds scarcely arrive in
this neighborhood before their slaughter
begins, and consequently the first bags show
thin birds. To be good, reed birds should
about the second week In September. The
colonsl balieves the law should be amended
30 as to make the season later.
one reason for the change to August 25tt
was that the New Jersey law opens on that
date, but that does not seem TO be suf
ficient reason, in the opinion of many,
against the bad results that follow the earlier
start here.

THE NEWS OF NEW CASTLE.

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
New Castle, Aug. GA meeting of the
Board Of Education was held last evening,
President Eliaeon presiding, and Mahoney,
Carrick, Phillips. Manlove, Stewart, Frazer
and Jemison present,
Mr.. Phillips reported on behalf of the
school property committee that stoves were
needed in the rooms of Miss Janvier, Miss
Goodley and the annex; that No. School
needed painting badly, inside and out |;
that the paving headed replacing about No.
School; that No. School needed attention
to keep water out OF the cellar, and that a
pump was needed at No. 3 School.
I Mr.. Mahoney advised laying a pavement
about No. School. The cost would be
about S140. He added that the cost Of paint
ing the roof OF No. 1 School would be about
$l4o; stoves, about S3s; the proposed pump,
about SIS.
Mr.. Phillips said he had inquired relative
to placing two heaters in No. 2 School.
The cellar in the school will admit of
erecting two heaters, which he considered
much better than the purchase of three
stoves, although more costly at first. He
also understood that two more stoves would
be needed before the winter was over.
Mr.. Frazer approved of the heater method
on account of it being more modern and
more healthy for the teachers and scholars,
as 1t would tend to secure proper ventilation
of the rooms.

believing that 1t was more economical and
serviceable. s,5s
On motion Of Mr.. Frazer, the committee
on school property was authorized to have
the necessary repairs and painting made.
The committee was instructed to receive
bids for the installation of two heaters in
the building and report at a special meeting.
Bills amounting TO 81. 30 were ordered paid.

Ole archbishop there has not yet gone
on record in regard to the play. but one
of his assistants has remarked that
AS the play seems to have a good eff
feet on those who go there, there will
be no interference"
The ministry of New York is strong
ly opposed to the play being produced
in that city. and their wishes in the
matter will be respected. The Rev. D.
Mcmahon expresses the sentiment of
the most of them when he says he can
see no place where good will come from
the play. and that in his opinion its
production would be a sacrilege. THE
production does not appeal to anything
but the dramatic and critical sense,
without regard to the inspiration which
comes from religious presentation.
The play at Oberammergau exercises a
good and valuable influence, but it
should never be produced in any other
place.

The Passion Play in America.

The proposed production of the Pas
sion Play in New York by profession
al theatrical company has aroused so
much opposition from the pulpit that it
will not be undertaken. Many of the
papers have agreed with the clergy
men that the presentation of the play
would be sacrilege and that the
character of Christ should be kept from
the stage. At Montreal the play has
been given this winter, and has made
a great sensation, filling the theatre
nightly. None of the Protestant clergy
there have demonstrated against the
play since they found that the company
was most capable, and that the play
was creating lasting and deep i'm
preston upon the people. and many Of
the Catholic priests have attended and
approved the performance. The Cath

The Aiding Of Cuba.

The Maine members of the national
House have never been opposed to ex-
tending generous aid to Cuba. They
have, however, differed from some of
their Republican colleagues as to the
form in which such assistance should
be given. In this they have been act
uated solely by what they believed to
be the interests of their own State.
Should any general movement for tariff
reduction be inaugurated starch and
pulp and lumber would certainly be
among the first interests to be involved
and all are very vital to the prosperity
of Maine. The question of Cuban re-
ciprocity it must be remembered, has
thus far been considered only in party
conference. 1t has not come up in the
House at all. Opinions expressed in
party conference are merely advisory
to the Ways and Means committee as
to the form of the measure they shall
draft. Having obtained in conference
an expression of the views of their COL
leagues the members of the Ways and
Means committee will soon report a
measure looking to the aid of Cuba
This will come before the House as a
party measure, and, as such, will I'M
doubtedly command the support of the
great majority of the Republican mem
bers. There can be little doubt of its
passage, and so far as it shall serve to
promote Cuban prosperity it will meet
the expectations and win the approval
of the American people.

More Trouble for q Tillman.

"OUG bUO00sC uOT
1t is Tillman Junior. who is In trouble
this time: that is. the nephew Of Pitch
fork Tillman. of senatorial and pugulis-
tic notoriety. The younger Tillman is
lieutenant governor of South Carolina
and is the same who thought it would
be nice to give Major Micah Jenkins, a
Cuban campaign hero. a sword. He
got up a subscriptions; got the
sword; asked President Roosevelt
to present the sword, got his promise
to do so. and then publicly revoked the
invitation, informing the President that
his services would not be required.
That was because the President had re-
voked his invitation to Tillman minors
uncle (then in contempt of the Senate)
to dine with Prince Henry at the
White House. Major Micah Jenkins
was so indignant and Disguised that he
at once refused to touch the Tillman
sword. Now representative South
Carolinans. who share his feelings, in
the matter have bought him another
sword described as "of an intrinsic
value ten times greater" and by their
request President Roosevelt is to PLACE
it in the ma jor's hands when he visits
Charleston. this month. All this was
unpleasant for Lieutenant Governor
Tillman, the nephew of his uncle, but
there was more trouble headed his way.
1t is his duty to preside over the
South Carolina senate and on a recent
occasion he ruled that motion to post
pone Indefinitely was not debatable. His
ruling was challenged, and the commit
tee on rules reported adversely to Till
man. Upon this he proceeded to address
the senate and used these words: "Since
making the ruling the chair has taken
occasion to inquire of the two highest
parliamentarians of this country as to
the correctness of the same and is much
gratified to learn that it is sustained
by them" After adjournment he told
the reporters tnat by the Two nlSneSt
parliamentarians' he meant Mr.. Frye
president pro tempore of the United
States Senate, and Speaker Henderson
of the House. A Columbia editor wrote
to those gentlemen, and has now pub
lished their replies. Mr.. Frye says he
telcgraphed to Tillman: "Jefferson's
manual silent, Motion necessarily de-
batable. Debatable under rules of
Senate" Speaker Henderson says he
telegraphed to Tillman: Yes. The
House of Representatives debates the
motion to postpone indefinitely and has
done so for many years. Had the
manual forbidden it, this would hardly
have been done without a special rule
giving positive PERMISSION"
New it seems to be up to Nephew
Tillman to explain a few things. The
country in general and South Carolina
in particular will believe Senator Frye
and Speaker Henderson who have
given him the lie direct. Perhaps his
eyes trouble him so that he read Eyes
for mo" More likely he is simply
troubled with the usual Tillman disease.
South Carolina is welcome to that type
of public official.

Or richly brown as Mother Earth
Now flushed with budding spring;
Or ra1r as streaming strands

Look like thirty cents
You are poem

That painters breathe
Into the pictures of their souls.

MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, March 31-The professional
element of the Stock Exchange had some
hopes that the favorable bank statement
published on Saturday during the holt
day interval in the trading would induce
some speculative activity and they mark
ed up prices at the opening with a show
ately developed the spotty character
which has been the rule of late and fei,
into heaviness and semi-stagnation. There
was another upward movement towards
the end of the day, based on the aSSump-
ton that the quarterly and monthly dis
burSementS to be made, tomorrow, and
the completion of the preparation for
them would result in a relaxation of the
money market. st. Paul was about the
only stock which is usually prominent
to show an advance of over a point in
spite of the decrease in net earnings for
February reported, today, while Union
Pacific fell short of the one point adj
vance and reacted again before the close.
Rock Islands point advance and the
gains by the Chicago and Northwestern
stocks were not very convincing, while
the rise of all the way from / to over .
points in a group of less conspicuous
stocks, was quite Intellectual to induce
speculative following. The Canadian Pa
cific group were most conspicuous in this
dwarfed by the overwhelming preponder-
ance of Colorado Fuel, Amalgamated
Copper and Sugar in the dealing, All of
these were depressed after the opening
but recovered sharply, Sugar rising
point above last week on account of re-
port from the committee on ways and
!! means of the Cuban reciprocity bill All
three stocks reacted again at the Close
which was irregular. Although the COM
pletion of the preparation for the April
first settlement seems to insure the mon
ey market against any present furry,
there is no expectation in well-informed
circles of an early relaxation in the mon
ey rate. Some Of the speculative bonds
were inclined to advance but there was
no general activity in the market. Total
sales, par value, A,675 ,OO0 United States
| bonds were all unchanged on the last call
