when all men will come into
possession of their birthright, the
right and opportunity for a larger
life and truer liberty, and all will

Rev. w. B. Young made a masterly
talk that more than met the expecta-
tions of his friends. He told how the
status of labor is rising before us like
the sun in the east. We see the COM
ing Of new day in which every breath
Of joy, in which no woman shall wear
gorgeous raiment woven from the rags
and with the tears of her sisters toll;
no man shall be surfeited in wealth
by the coinage Of the crystalized
sweat of his brother. All men and
all women of all lands shall be free
men and free women. Then shall we
be brothers indeed; then shall the
golden rule be the rule of all human
ity.
State Supt. W. w. Welch, the old
time fayorite among Havre unionists,
did not dissappoint the boys and
made everybody glad with an offhand
address that held his hearers in rapt

Twenty.Ninth Anniversary.

On Sunday, Jan. II, Bishop
William Forbes Adams, of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese OF
Easton, celebrated the twenty ninth
anniversary of his conservation to
the episcopate. The House OF
Bishops, at the General Conven-
tion of 1874, which met in Balti-
more, elected him Missionary
Bishop of New Mexico and Arizona,
and he was consecrated in New
Orleans, La, January II, 1875.
He fell a victim to yellow fever,
which incapacitated him for duty
as missionary bishop, and he sent
his resignation to the House of
Bishops in 1877, which was accept
ed. He then became rector at
Holy Trinity Church, Vicksburg,
Miss, where he remained until
elected Bishop of Easton in June,
1887. The Diocese of Easton,
which comprises all the Protestant
Episcopal Churches ON the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, was formed in
1868 and its first convention was
held in Easton on November 20 of
that year.

Salaries of Rural Free Delivery.

A bill has been introduced in
Congress to further increase the
pay of rural free delivery mail
carriers. On the establishment of
the service the pay was fixed at
$500 a year. The law of 1902 fix
ed the maximum salary at 5000.
For routes less than 20 miles the
pay is graded as follows: Routes
not less than Ii miles and under 20
miles, $500; routes not less than IL
and under 16 miles, S400; routes
not less than s and under IL miles,
$500; routes not less than 4 and
under s miles, 5000.
In Maryland, up to January 1st,
1902, there were appointed 22l
rural carriers, and during the past
year about 100 more were added,
making in all nearly $50 carriers in
the State. These $50 carriers, at
less than one half the expense to
the Government, cover % counties,
thereby giving the rural residents
the same conveniences and rights
that are accorded the residents of
the city of Baltimore, which alone
has 351 carriers.

SURE SHOTS
The pop1ars of Havre de Grace,
Famous Duck Shots.
$50 DUCKS KILLED in ONE DAY.

The Baltimore Sun publishes the
following interesting narrative of
the exploits of family of celebrat-
ed duck shooters who reside in
Havre de Grace:
"Jesse Poplar is recognized as
the greatest duck shooter of Mary
land. He has been the premier
shot on the Susquehanna river flats
for many years. He began by
shooting two muzzle leaders, and
with these succeeded by emptying
the four barrels in killing nine can
vasbacks, this being the entire
number which decoyed. He con-
siders it the best shot he ever made.
Out of large punches his biggest
killing was 16 out of big block of
redheads. He has frequently kill
ed six or seven out of a bunch with
two guns. He has never used more
than two guns in sink box.
About Is years ago Jesse Poplar
changed from the muzzle- loaded to
the breech- loading gun. Today he
uses a 10 and II gauge, using first
his 12- bore and then his 10. His
strength comes in part from his
knowledge Of how the birds will fly
and in shooting when they bunch.
He is also great at calling any
species of ducks and in making
them decoy to his sink box. He
can fool the oldest duck that flies
in this work. The greatest num-
Der he ever bagged in one day was
313. In one hour he killed 122.
In another days shooting he killed
121 canvasbacks before noon, and
once again he brought down 126
redheads.
civilian Poplar, a brother of
Jesse, is the Oldest man now shoot
ing as business on the flats.
While not so good a shot or judge
of BIRDS habits as Jesse, he is
nevertheless successful one.
"John Poplar, the father Of Jesse,
is still living. He only shoots oc.
casionally for little sport. He is
70 years old and has lain out in a
box, sat in a blind or stood on a
point shooting in the toughest kind
of weather, yet he has been immune
from sickness and his eyesight is
still good. He has the record of
having killed more ducks individ-
ually in any day than was ever
otherwise recorded. With two
muzzle leaders he. has killed 530-
ducks, all of the finer sort. This
was done in 1878. He killed 275
canvasbacks in one day, and did
not begin shooting until 8 a. m. In
cunning day and a half he has
bagged 500 canvasbacks and has
receipts to show for these ducks.
He also has receipts to show for
5000 ducks killed in three weeks.
"The Poplar family is one of
marksmen that is not likely to de-
teriorate, although ducking is be-
coming more and more difficult be-
cause of the scarcity of the fowls.
A son of Jesse is now 10 years old;
he is Jesse Poplar, Jr. He has
proved wonder in shooting at the
traps and is perpetuating the glory
of his sire and grandsire by the
duck killing route. Little Jesse
has killed 80 ducks in day from a
blind"

A January ThaW-The Ice Gorge at
Port Deposit.

Port Deposit.
The warm rain and wind of Friday
last had the effect of melting the snow
and ice so rapidly as to cause it to disap-
pear as tho by magic. Fields and roads
ran rivers of water, which soon swelled
the streams to such proportions as to
cause them to overflow their banks, the
torrent of water and large cakes of ice
doing considerable damage to mill dams
and bridges in numerous localities.
The Octoraro was on a rampage, un-
uusually high water being recorded. The
teams employed in hauling to and from
Rising Sun and the Cecil Paper mill were
unable to make their trips on Saturday,
the flood rendering the road impassable
below the mill.
The residents Of Port Deposit have
been kept in state of expectancy the past
week, on account of the gorged condi-
tion Of the Susquehanna. The first break
in the ice on the river occurred at about
ten o'clock Saturday night, when gorge
was formed at a short distance above the
town. AS the result the railroad tracks
were flooded for a short distance and traf-
fic delayed until the ice could be removed
from the tracks after the water receded.
Water was in the streets at the northern
end of the town to depth of few
inches also, but no damage was done.
This gorge was caused by the move.
ment of the ice from Octoraro and other
streams emptying into the Susquehanna
River few miles above.
The residents of the exposed sections
have taken the precaution to move their
household goods to the second floor OF
their dwellings and boats are kept in
readiness for the threatened food. Rail-
road traffic has been more or less delayed
since Monday, when traffic was suspend
ed for few hours. Tome Institute was
closed on Monday on account of the
threatening aspect of the gorge.
