Against Killing Pigeons for Sport
At an annual meeting of the Maryland Game
and Fish Protective Association, held in Bal
timore on Tuesday night, Secretary Oregon
Milton Dennis submitted his annual report,
from which we copy the following paragraph,
with our hearty approval of it:
Some means should be taken by this as
ISOLATION to prevent the cruel slaughter of
pigeons as targets by the shooting associations
of this city 1t has come to the knowledge
of the secretary within the past few weeks that
this means of showing proficiency in marks
manship is more than cruel. Workmanship
can as well be demonstrated by clay pigeons
as by live ones, and this association should
put itself on record as being opposed to this in
human slaughter"
The association elected the following officers
for the ensuing year: President, j. Olney
Norris vice-president, Marion II. Ould treas
urer, Henry Brauns; secretary, Oregon Milton
Dennis attorney, Richard F. Kimball.

THE BALTIMORE Neaos has come out fiat-footed
in favor of the election of the Republican
State ticket and pays this splendid tribute to
the character and qualities of Mr. Stevenson
A. Williams our candidate for Governor:
"Mr. Williams is sure to make a pre-eminently
excellent Governor if he attains that high
office. He represents in his views everything
that the NewS, in common with earnest
independents generally, has been fighting for;
he represents in his character and career those
qualities of manliness, courage, sincerity, and
high civic purpose upon the possession of
which in our public men, and upon the
appreciation of which by the mass of the
people, the salvation of this Republic in the
last resort depends. Upon the loyal and hearty
support of those who value these qualities,
those who wish to see Republican William
T. Hamilton in the Governors chair who
sincerely and practically desire that publication
of government for which Grover Cleveland
has Just made SO earnest plea-upon the
support of all such men Mr.. Stevenson A.
Williams has the fullest reason to reckon, and
we are confident that the expectation will not
be disappointed"

Long Green, 18th District.-The oyster
supper given on Saturday night by Long Green
Cornet Band was fairly well attended and
about $40 was realized, despite the unfavora-
BILE weather Many were disappointed because
they missed the good supper that was provi-
ded. Perhaps 1.-THE boys" may try it again
shortly.
The ladies of Wilson's M. E. Church will
hold their annual supper in the church hall,
on the evenings of October 29th and Both, and
if they are as successful as their friends of
Waugh Chapel were they will be highly de-
lighted. The Waugh people had the active as
sistance of Mr.. A. A. Piper and Chief of Police
Street,, and to them much of the credit for the
success of the affair is due. They were ably
assisted also by a number of ladies and gen.
tlemen.
Several of the county candidates attended
the Waugh supper and this added interest to
the occasion. They spent money freely and
this greatly helped the cause. They also made
contributions in the way of barrels of flour,
hams etc., and these were disposed of to good
advantage. Mr.. George W. Yellott and Mr..
John B. Longnecker were among the candi-
dates who made donations. l also noted the
presence of Mr.. John s. Biddison, Democratic
candidate for State Senator, and Mr.. o. Peter
Grau, of this district, Republican candidate for
the House of Delegates. The latter, who is a
highly esteemed neighbor, has the best wishes
of many people for his success. INGoe.

claiming $4,000 damages. The case was tried
by o. Parker Baker for Mr.. Tawney and Chas.
