CONCERNING POUND FISHING.

The Legislative Committee of the
Essex Fish and Game Protective Asso-
citation of Newark have caused two
bills to be introduced in the present
New jersey legislature affecting pound
fishing in certain places in the ocean
The following letter explaining the OBJ
ject of the bills has been sen out: The
above association desires to call your
attention to the reasons why we are ad-
vocating the passage of House Bill No.
| and Senate Bill No. IL, to prohibit
the placing or maintaining of pound
or fixed nets in the waters of Sandy
Hook and Raritan Bays and tributaries
thereof, and compelling the use of 5
inch mesh nets in all other tide waters
of this State respectively.
We POSITIVELY are not in favor
of abolishing the pound nets entirely,
as stated by ONE people who are try
ing to defeat all the above just and rea-
sonable bills. We claim that the legit-
innate demands of the markets can be
best served by properly regulating the
nets, SO as to avoid the unnecessary
slaughter of millions of small unmark-
etable food fish by the use of small
mesh nets, as are now being universally
used.
Senate Bill No. IL is intended, and
we are convinced will allow all small
edible fish to pass through and mature,
as nature and the demands of u mar
kets desire in order to supply the future.
AT the present time, the pound
nets are surely destroying them at a
ate that according to all history
means determination. To verify this
statement we cheerfully refer you to
the records of European Countries,
which may be found in the various
writings on the above subject.
AT the proper time we will produce
affidavits from old and professional
fishermen, showing that millions OF
small and unmarketable edible fish are
being destroyed by the numerous
pound nets and allowed to drift and
wash ashore. At some points along
our coast the above fish are SO numer-
Gus that the stencil is becoming very
annoying to the people who are spend.
ing their summers along the coast.
We advocate House Bill No. l, for
the purpose of allowing the fish 10
enter the waters of Sandy Hook and
Raritan Bays for the purpose OF
spawning. AS the above waters are
especially adapted for this purpose and
are also about the extreme northern
points of migration, we feel that after
they have escaped the hundreds of nets
and traps set for them they should not
be molested here.
All laws of nature demand that we
should allow propagation to take place
in order to prolong life. We are now
protecting all kinds of birds and game
during the above period, and why not
protect and prolong the fish entering
the above waters? Especially so on ac-
count of the large demand as a popular
and necessary commodity.

A Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm of fire at night
is the brassy cough of Group, which
sounds like the children's death knell
and it means death unless something is
done quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar
never fails to give instant relief and
quickly cures the worst forms of Group.
Mrs. p. l.. Cordier, of Warrington, KY,
says: My three year old girl had a Sc
we're case of Group; the doctor said she
could not live. l got a bottle of Foley's
Honey and Tar, the first dose gave quick
relief and saved her life" Foley's Hon.
ey and Tar is best for Group and whoop-
ing cough, contains no opiates, and
cures quickly. Careful mothers keep il
in the house. Refuse substitutes. Sold

Special Treatment for Consumption

The WilliamstOWn correspondent OF
the Glassboro Enterprise writes as
follows:
The special treatment undergoing by
Mrs. Alfred Baker, of this place for
consumption, is attracting much atten-
ton, and is of peculiar interest because
of the peculiar benefits which have thus
far resulted. Mrs. Baker is being treat
ed by DR.. Flick, the well known Phila-
delphia specialist on lung diseases.
When the treatment was first begun
Mrs. Baker was given c%reosote. The
dose at first prescribed vas one drop.
This was gradually increased until a
short time ago, when a maximum of
forty-fve drops per dose was reached.
Mrs. Baker continued to improve and
now the ~creosote treatment has been
abandoned. The patient sleeps every
night in a room with two windows wide
open, and spends some portion of the
day in the open air. If she lies down
at all during the day the windows in
the room are thrown open just the same
as in the bedroom. AT the time the
treatment was commenced there was a
cavity in the right lung and the left one
was also affected. Mrs. Baker has gain
ed twenty-five pounds since she began
the treatment. DIR. Flick is sure that
he can effect a complete cure in Mrs.
Bakers case, but says it will probably
take eight or nine years to accomplish
it. The patient is kept as quiet as
possible. The cough has greatly im-
proved since the present mode of treat
ment was begun.

suggested trying Foley's Honey and
Tar, which | did; and thanks be to this
great remedy it saved her life. She is

Marshal Ferris submitted in writing the
regular monthly report of the burning
of are lights, which was accepted. In Il
written communication to Councll
Solicitor Zeller stated that Senator
Crosse had been furnished with reading
matter and photos for a booklet TO be
distributed at the st. Louis Exposition
this summer. Mr.. Harris, chairman of
the law aud ordinance committee, re-
ported proposed ordinance No. 86, the
gas ordinance which Chas. a. Reynolds
and Francis Asbury are interested, as
amended and ii was read. The amend
ments provided that the Coast Gas
Company should not charge Tor the use
of meters and shall furnish service pipe
to buildings and also furnish gas free
of charge to borough hall for borough
purposes. Another amendment pro-
vided that if the gas works were erected
in Vile wood, they should be located
west of Park avenue. Instead of a $500
bond conditioned for the finishing of
the plant in six months, the bond was
increased to $4,000. Judge Voorhees,
who represented the Five Mile Beach
Gas Company whose ordinance was ill.,
troduced in Council sometime ago, was
present and raised a point as to the
method of passing the ordinance, and
spoke at considerable length concerning
the granting of the gas franchise. The
Council came in for a good share OF crltl-
cism during the speech of the Judge
and wound up with his having quite a
passage-at-arms with Councilman
Banks. John ID. McMullin, who rep
resented an ordinance known as the
Beach Gas Company and which was
introduced in Council some weeks ago,
was also present and spoke on the sub
ject, calling the attention OF Council TO
the fact hat his ordinance as amended
since its introduction provided for S1.35
gas, being lower than the other two
ordinances introduced in Council. Be-
fore the vote was taken the mayor in
vited any citizens present to give their
views ON the subject. X. Penn Smith
thought that gas could be furnished at
a rate lower than $3.50 and said that
now was the time to provide for 1t.
After much debate the ordinance WIS
adobted as amended and finally passed.
The vote on the passage of the ordln-
ance was as follows: Yeas-Banks,
Bright, Buck, Durham, Harris. Nays

The street committee was directed to

Tragedy Occurs in Business

PUEBLO, Colo. June 11.-Gilbert z.
Dodge, a livery keeper, shot and killed
his wife and Mrs. Maud Mckinney on
the principal business street OF this
city tonight. The women were sitting
in a carriage IN front Of fish market.
Dodge dismounted from horse on
which he was riding. shot one woman
in the head and the other In the heart
and then tried to kill himself but did
not succeed He was disarmed by the
police.
Mrs. Mckinney is said to have been
the wife of Charles Mckinney Of Grip
pie Creek, who was under arrest on the
charge of being one Of the men who
wrecked the Short Line train bearing
non-union miners some months ago.
The case dragged through the courts
for some months and several weeks
ago the case against Mckinney was
nolled in the courts at Cripple Creek.
In a statement, Dodge said he meant
to kill his wife and her companion, be-
cause his wife had been untrue and the
woman with her was responsible for
leading her astray.
