the astute village tax collector assessed
at three times what he paid for it--but
he runs up from Riverdale occasionally
to look at 1t and see that no local Huck
Finn has broken out the windows.
There were no cabs at the station
one hot day recently when he arrived,
so he essayed to walk up the Main
street hill. The Tarrytown hill is eX-
ceeded in steepness by the Newburg
hill alone. When half way up he SAT
down on a stone carriage block to rest,
holding his hat in Il hand. A street
piano man struck UP a tune in his i'm
mediate neighborhood, but the humor-
ist sat unmoved. An elderly lady hap
pened along, conceived him to be the
musicians helper, and dropped a penny
in his hat. Mr.. Twain rose and bowed
solemnly, with a stately thank you"
The lady took o backward step, ap-
parently vaguely suspicious that she
had made a mistake. Don't be

TO PROTECT THE FISH.
Laws to be introduced in the Legislature
this Winter.

The Essex Game and Fish Protec-
tive association has decided to have
three bills introduced at the coming
session Of the State legislature. Two
of the bills are aimed at the pound
fishing industry. One will MAXI fish
ing with nets having a Pmesh smaller
Nthan five inches, illegal. At present
the ocean fisherman use a n and a
half inch mesh exclusively. The
sportsmen of this State contend that
millions of young game fish are thus
DESTROYED each week and that blue
fishing along the Jersey coats has, be-
cause of this fact, become q thing of
the past.
The second bill is to prohibit all
net fishing III New Jersey waters, In
Sandy Hook bay, Raritan bay and
Staten Island sound and its tributaries
from May 81 to November l of each
year. These waters, it is asserted,
are now almost devoid of game fish
because of the pound nets. The third
bill will ask that the sale of all game
in New Jersey be made illegal. 1t il
intended to abolish the trapping Of
birds, squirrels and rabbits.

Soner. a passenger on wesr-bound
Rock Island train. was taken from the
car yesterday morning by the train
crew and placed in charge of officer
James Quinn at the Union s,ransfer
statioA. Soner had been acting queerly
en- his journey and showed symptoms of
insanity. He was later brought before
the local county board OF ineanity COM
and was examined and or
dered sent to ST. Bernard's for obser-
vation.
Soner had no papers upon his person
as means of identity save a signed
ticket over the PENNSYLVANIA system
and allied roads from Pictsburg, Pa, to
San Francisco. He talked continually
about his long journey and declared
that he had just come from Dublin
Ireland. and that a few days ago he
landed at Philadelphia. Here he de-
cares that his baggage was stolen and
that he lost considerable money. He
could not tell his own name.
The members of the insanity COM
are wont to believe that Soner
and arduous journey ana that rest
OF few days will result in his being
able to give a clear account of himself.
He had in his possession Union Pacific

he blessed the crowds as he passed; in

better impart his benediction. and it
was only when he descended from the

of Jews in Rus
This action hes ! aeter ma
ture consideration. y; iGst 1t was de-
cided that the petition should not be
presented because it might be resented
by Russia and lead to response that
will cause a break in the relations Of
the two countries. However, the first
conclusion has been reconsidered and
by direction of the president. the PEE
tition will now go forward. What the
result will be is problematical. AS in
dicated in the following note from Sec
retary Hay to Simon Wolf. the presen-
tation will probably be made to the
Russian government thru the United
States charge at st. Petersburg. The
note reads:
Dear Sir: The president has con-
rcluded TO transact TO the RUSSIAN gov
ernment the petition, of which you
presented him draft on June Is. The
matter which he had to consider most
seriously was whether or not such pro-
ceeding would be to the advantage of
your prosecuted and outraged CORE
ligionists In Russia On this point he
has decided to accept your opinion and
that of numerous and intelligent groups
of American citizens of the Jewish faith
whom you represent He requests that
you will send him the petition In due
form at your earliest convenience. Of
course, you will understand that the
president cannot tell you what recep-
ton, your petition will meet with at the
hands OF the Russian government,
Eam, sir, faithfully yours.

last April. The portrait was eXhlplted
in the Hotel Julien, where MIR. Thorpe
is staying, for the first time this morn
ing and Mrs. Henderson and n number
of the eX-speakers close friends Were
enthusiastic in their admiration of it.
MIR. Thorpe is brought into special
prominence because of the fact that he
has recently painted Il portrait for
former President Cleveland, which has
been hailed as one of the best ever
turned out by an artist in America.
Moreover it is a tribute to his genius
10 be commissioned to paint the por-
trait of Mr.. Henderson, for it is the
height of every artists ambition to
have one of their pictures grace the
walls of the Capitol building. Ex-
Speaker Reeds portrait was the work
OF Sergeant and the artist was paid
81 500 for his work. When 1t is con-
sidered that the friends of the speak
er pay for the portrait out of their
own pockets it can be seen that there
is no favortism shown when the art
list is selected, it being the desire to
get the best work done, no matter
what the cost.
Mr.. Henderson will give Mr.. Thorpe
another sitting tomorrow morning
when the picture will be completed. 1t
will be on exhibition in Noye's Art
store tomorrow afternoon.
Other noted portraits painted by Mr..
Thorpe are those Of Secretary Wilson,
General Kesler of New York, Associate
Justice Nelson President Grant.
From Dubuque Mr.. Thorpe will go to
Omaha, where he will paint the por-
trait of Count Creighton. He will then
go TO Montana where he will do work
for the state house.

A HUSTLING LAD.
[shenandoah sentinel.l


Justice Ed German of Imogene, has
now running in his yard nine chickens
of new breed here. They are Buff
Opingtons His son WILL with his
grandpa at Volga, iowa, is raising that
variety of chickens, and sent his father
a setting of fifteen eggs. nine of which
hatched after an express journey of
100 miles. This breed is a combination
of the Golden Spang!ed Hamburg, and
the English Dorking, and the Buff Co
chins, and have the good qualities OF
each to degree. Willie German is as
sisting his grandfather in his lumber
yard. but he always had a fondness for
chickens, and felt a keen desire TO raise
them. His uncle set him up in the bust
ness by buying him an incubator. But
grandpa was not favorable to the
chicken business. For a long time Will
lie would suddenly disappear, when
work in the lumber yard was not push
ing, and it puzzled grandpa not little
till at last he discovered the secret.
Willie had excavated a cave in the hill
side and there had his incubator in
full operation. 1t was all right with
grandpa until the yard began to
swarm with chicks, and then he prob
ably thought some hard words. when
he could hardly avoid stepping on
them. At market time they brought lots
of money. and Willie began to improve
his business. He paid 50 for u setting
of eggs of this new breed. and took
first premium at Cedar Rapids last
year. Last winter he had five hens
that laid one egg a day, and he sold
these at SO per setting of 10 eggs. That
meant dollar a day. or 20 cents an
egg. He is on the road to fortune.
