SIX JERSEY FISHERMAN PLEAD GUILTY.
Each Must Pay $50 and Costs For Taking
Terrapin from Delaware Waters.

Lewis Newcomb, Raymond Moore,
William S. Moore, Alfred Bradford,
Horace Blizzard and John Bass, all
residents of BridgetOn and Cedarvile.
n. j., were arralgned in General
Sessions Court at Dover Thursday,
having been indicted by the grand
jury for taking diamond-back terrapin
from Delaware waters near Leipsic.
The men decided to plead guilty on
each of the six charges against them,
and requested that the second case
against John Bass be nolle prosecuted.
When the fishermen lined mp in
court, Deputy Attorney General Rich
ards, who had arrived to conduct the
trial against the men, announced.
"YOur hOnOrs, it appears that there
were no boats, tackle or equipments
seized by the state, aud that we have
only the persons themselves for re-
dress" The court then fined each
man $50 and costs, which amounted to
about $3.50 Altogether, the affair will
cost the fishermen about $500, in
Guiding the cost of the fight at Tren-
ton. After the adjournment of court,
the men were entertained at dinner by
Sheriff Reedy.
The six Jerseymen arrived in Dover
early Thursday morning, having come
across the bay in their naphtha launch.
They expected to arrive there the night
before, in order to have a consultation
with their attorney, Henry Ridgely,
but their craft broke down in midstream
and the men were delayed until the
next day in getting to Dover. The
state has made three attempts to Sc
cure the fishermen from New jersey
by requisitlOn papers from Governor
Hum. John Bass who is grain
merchant, admitted that while buying
crops at Leipsic, he had frequently
spent some time fishing, not knowing
that it was a violation of the law.
The fishermen have retained Henry
Ridgely, Jr., aud Former Judge West
colt Of Camden, to appear for them in
a suit for $4,000, against the New
Jersey Game Association for the
seizure of terrapin and other game
which belonged to the defendants.

fill its mission is to send the children
regularly. We have no compulsory
educational law in this state and since
we have not it is all the more neces-
sary that parents know what a day
out of school means for the child. 1t
means loss of instruction of the day,
which means loss of interest in the
lessons, and this results in discourage
ment and soon comes a lack of inter
est in school. If parents could only
see the need of their greater interest
in the school believe it would be
cheerily and intelligently given.

Whooping Cough.

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our
baby boy being only three months old,
and owing to our giving them Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, they lost
none of their plumpness and came out
in much better health than other
children whose parents did not use
this remedy. Our oldest little girl

Correcting the ChIId,s Habits.

And this brings up the most impor-
tant relation Of the parent to the
school. When children have con
tracted some habits or dispositions
that can be traced to school life the
cause of it should be sought. But let
every parent know that there may be
inherent in their own children, that
which under the influence of the
changed surroundings of school life,
will develop into traits of character
never possessed by either parents or
once possessed, long ago overcome.
On the other hand parents should be
just as careful of any moral disease as
they are of physical disease. When
the parents once demand this there
will not be the possibility of their
children associating with moral lepers
day after day, with no power to pre-
vent it except by removing their own
children from the school.
The hearty cooperation of parent.
teacher and pupil in suppressing the
cigar vice will go far towards clearing
the moral atmosphere of our schools.
And the best way for parents and older
persons to aid in this battle is to set a
good example. This is true in every
particular Of life, but especially true
in the moral life. When men high in
Church life are daily setting the ex-
ample before the children by the use
Of tobacco, the schools can do but
little to counteract the cigarette vice
that is weakening the physical, mental
and moral condition of so many young
boys.

Dinner was served at o'clock at small
tables scattered throughout the rooms

been christened. and Mr.. Small suggested
TO the Dropagator that it would be
graceful tribute to Mrs. Westinghouse,
whose love for flowers is well known, to
name the new blossom in her honor.
/ he roses were arranged SO as TO form
three separate clusters. and at the close
OF the dinner were given the ladies as
corsage bouquets. The general effect was
very pretty, especially later on during
the dance
The cOtiIlion commenced at 10 o'clock,
and was led by Lieutenant Hicks, L. 5 N,
and Miss Brocklebank.
The favors were distributed by the hos
tess, assisted by Mrs. Corbin. For the
first figure there were chiffon boas of
dainty tints for the girls. and orders for
the men; for the second the girls were
awarded parasOl aigrettes and the men
