OPENS THE MEETING.

The matter of the Quinn bill was
presented to the Governors considera-
ton by Mr.. McInerny as follows:
Your Excellency: The business
which brings US here this morning,
can in a sense be said to have been
precipitated by no less a parsonage
than yourself With the recent change
in the personnel of the Police Depart
ment came the enforcement of our ex-
istings Sunday law, and if we are to
believe what we read in our daily
news journals this enforcement was
approved, if not authorized by you, on
the ground that Sunday law that
was open to any construction as to the
enforcement or otherwise or its terms,
by the mere whim of caprice, of who
ever might be filling the position of
High Sheriff of this Territory at the
time, was unsatisfactory.
ALSO that the best way to secure
such Sunday laws as would best suit
the people was to enforce those that
We're Objectionable. and in this way
compel the enactment of suitable laws.
This 1 submit your excellency is exact
ly what has been done, and we are
here today to ask your respectful con-
sideration of a law, framed by a son of
labor, and approved by the representa-
tives of the people in legislature assem-
bled,-The Quinn Bill My position in
this matter is that of a practical bust
ness man.
Il submit your excellency that any
law that permits the enforcement or
ignoring of its terms, as the mood
suits any individual is unsatisfactory
and dangerous and a perpetual source
of irritation.
I submit that our isolated position,
| our peculiar and cosmopolitan popula-
| ton with their various beliefs. religions
and practices. require a consideration
| in applying our Sunday laws, not
equaled in any part of the mainland.
I believe and insist that the divine
| worship of God, by all creeds and sects.
should be protected and respected. but
L also believe that that part of Sunday
| not set apart for the worship of God,
| should be left free to the individual to
enjoy as he sees fit, provided always
that he does not so conduct himself as
| to become a nuisance as the term ap-
plies to our every day life.
NECEssARIEs OF LIFE.
| Il believe that the necessities of life
should be sold on Sunday. within pre-
| scribed hours and that some of the
| luxuries, such as fruits. ices. aerated
waters and cigars should be available
| all day.
II believe that our ever increasing
| commerce should be fostered to the END
that vessels arriving in port on Sun
day should be facilitated in their de.
spatch. and permitted to secure theil
necessary requirements without hind
rance.
u believe that outdoor sports wher,
they do not conflict with the hours o.
worship should be permitted and fos

Capt. Geo. p. Squires, the big
hearted citizen and prosperous bust
ness man of Lancaster county, while
attending the Grand Lodge Of
Iasons, in Richmond, this week,
was so much pleased with an enCer-
tainment, given during the sessions
by the orphans of the Masonic Home,
that he drew his check for $1OO as a
donation. Mr.. w. Med. Lee, of
lrvipgton, upon request made the
presentation speech, and aroused so
much enthusiasm that Capt. Squires
was called for and would not be
excused until he also had addressed
the Grand Lodge.
SESSION OF THE GRAND LODGE.
The Grand Lodge of Masons, in
session last week in Richmond, re-
elected its old officers as follows:

satisfactory. The increase in mem

Wednesday afternoon gavel made

nal timbers of the Virginia State
capitol was presented to the grand
lodge on behalf of Colonel John w.
Richardson by the Right Worshipful

The same afternoon members of
the grand lodge and hundreds of their
friends were entertained by the
children of the Masonic Home of
Richmond, which charitable institu-
ton is under the management of the
grand lodge. There are now about
sixty orphans of Virginia Masons
being cared for in this home. They
appeared before the grand lodge, and
under the guidance of Mrs. III. NJ.

matron, and other teachers, rendered
musical selections, recitations, etc.

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

The State Board of Fisheries has
awarded the contract for furnishing
metal oyster tubs to the Smith Court
ney Company, Richmond.
Some reports say quantities of
oysters have been winter killed
that is, frozen on their beds. This,
however, just yet cannot be verified
1t will take some weeks to fiud out.
Some days ago some fishermen
made a hole in the ice near the
mouth of Nomini creek in Westmore-
land county, and succeeded in get
ting fifty bushels of fine fish, mostly
of the white perch variety.
A few days previous to the closing
of navigation on the Potomac. a
colored man, Taylor, who works a
small seine, among other fish caught
six herring. The lot was shipped to
New Y ork and the herring sold for
ten cents each.
The annual report of the State
Board of Fisheries, as submitted by
the board in Norfolk Thursday,
shows the following: 1t cost the
State $20,3S6 rs to maintain the
oyster navy, consisting of three
steamers and schooner, for the year.
The net revenue of the State from
the products of the sea, collected in
licenses and fines. Amounted To S4S.-
68S.7l. The total receipts for the
last three years show gradual in
crease. The operating expenses for
the last year were $24, 044.74. The
total revenues to the State for
seventy-eight months amount to
$370,249.71, and the total expenses
during the same period were $780,
164.08. Virginia, during the last
six years, has been enriched from the
sea products of her Tidewater by the
sum of $217,485.65.

SOME weeks ago we mentioned the
fact that the Baltimore egg market
slumped from 50 cents to % cents
within 48 hours because refrigerator
eggs had been thrown upon themarket.
Packers-chieay the Armours, who
corner beef and wheat-siuce the
cold-storage process has come into
successful operation have been, dur
ing the past two years, buying eggs
when low, their limits beng s to II
cents per dozen, and sailing" them
away in cold storage. When prices
are up they throw them upon the
market. A dispatch from Chicago
says it is estimated that in that CITY
alone there are 100000 eggs in
cold storage. notwithstanding this
a famine in the product exists in
Chicago, and householders are paying
SO cents dozen. The big meat
packers are said to have a corner on
the market. Last spring when eggs
were cheap, the meat packers and a
few heavy dealers secured hundreds
OF thousands of cases of eggs, which
were at once put away. If these
operations were confined to Chicago,
or the West, we could not murmur,
but the ssme policy is being operated
all throughout the north and east.
Doubtless it rebounds to the advan-
tage of city jewellers, as they are
enabled to buy cheaper, but the
main-stay of the rural housewife,
the hen, seems doomed in the
clutches of the trusts. Merchants
throughout this section have bought
millions of eggs, in exchange for
other commodities, and, unable to
ship for lack of transportation, will
find 1t a losing game when their
wares are put upon the market
Confronted with the iDsipid, taste

must suffer the collapse of the
market.
