WORD FROM A HUNTER.
Thinks Long Range Guns Shonld Be Cut
Out" as More Deer are Crippled Than
Killed by Them. Season
SHOULD BE REDUCED TO TEN DAYS.

Now that another hunting sea-
son has closed, few observations
might be III order from one who
thoroughly enjoys the sport, and
who is IN sympathy with any eff
tort for the protection of lame
out of season, and for the preven-
ton of unnecessary cruelty 20
dumb animals.
Deer have been fairly plentiful
this season, and the hunter has
been rewarded for the time he
has spent in the woods; but the
truth is. that while many deer
have been killed and carried away
by the lucky sportsman, many,
many more, have been crippled
or wounded and got away, only to
suffer and die IN some secluded
spot.
The long range repeating rifle
is responsible for most of this
mischief. A hunter with one of
those guns begins to shoot as soon
as he sees anything in the SEM
blance of a deer and blazes ava i
as long as he sees a bush shake,
regardless of the direction, or of
other hunters who may be in the
same neighborhood.
A hunter that shoots at a deer
more than two hundred yards
away, is dong 1t more to hear his
gun crack, than with any expecta-
tion of getting his game. 1t Is
this indiscrlmlnate long range
shooting that Is responsible for
;. the finding of so many skeletons
of deer that have perished in the
f,rests from having been slightly
wounded.
Hence, I would suggest to State
Game Warden Kalbfus that he
use his influence with the neon
ing legislature to restrict the use
OF those long range repeating
guns; to limit the number of deer
to be killed by any one person IN
one season, to one deer, and to
make the open season but ten
davs.
If further protection Is not af-
forded, it will not be many years
until there will not be any deer in
Fulton county.

SABBATH ASSOCIATION.
Annual Convention in McConnels sburg,
Last Tuesday Afternoon and
Evening.
INTERESTING SESSIONS THROUGHOUT.

The Fulton Cou lty Sabbath
Association held Its annual con-
venton in this place on Tuesday
Of last week. Although the at.
tendance was not as large as was
much to be desired, yet the con-
ventlon was good one, and tie
interest on the part Of those pres
ent was very manifest. The pro-
gram previously published IN the
County papers, was fully carried
out. The two papers read-oue
by Miss Catherine Cook and the
other by Miss Mary Houston
showed much thoughtfulness and
care IN preparation, and were
thought by the convention worthy
of a larger hearing; hence were
asked for publication, and they

About twenty lew members
were added to the roll of the AS
soclatlon.

er, M. r.. Shaffner. These Off
GERS, by the constitution, are a

and the president and secretary

com mittee. Other items of bust.
ness of interest to the general
public were also transacted.
The subject Of Sabbath Day
Funerals was discussed, and the
following action was unanimous
ly taken, viz Whereas Sabbath
day funerals are, IN most cases,
unnecessary, and are hlndrance
to proper Sabbath observance,
therefore resolved, that W e earn
estly call upon all the Christian
ministry TO unite theil testimony
against this practice; and all
Christian people to guard against
all such appointments, except in
cases of positive necessity.
Concerning the violation of the
Sabbath law, the Executive Com
mlttee was Instructed that IN all
cases where they have knowledge
of violations of the Sabbath law,
in any part of this county, they
take the necessary STEPS to have
the law enforced. Each of the
pastors is asked by the Assocla-
ton to preach IN their respective
congregations through )ut the
county, on the Sabbath Question
on Dec. 16, 1906; or as soon there
after as may suit their appoint
ments, and to lift contribution
and send the same to the secre-
tary, j. l.. Grove, McConnells-
burg, Pa, for the work of the
Sabbath cause. And the Secre-
tary was instructed to draw an
order on the treasury IN favor OF
the State AS oclatlon to the
am )unt of twelve dollars, so soon
as the fun Is IN the treasury will
Justify it, as our annual contrlbu-
lion TO the State work.
Inc Association feels that these
matters are OF the most vital inn
portan 6 for the interest of the
Christian public, and for the hon
or of Him who Is Lord of the
Sabbath day. After few items
OF closing business, the conven.
ton adjourned and was closed
with singing and the Denedictlon.

FRANCE md CHURCH.
Cabinet Decides on Seizure of Prop
ertu and ReUenueS.

Paris. Oct. 26-The Cabinet has reached de-
cison regarding the application of the separa-
ton law, by which the property and revenues OF
the churches if the clergy persist in their pres
ent attitude, will be seQuestrated on December
H. but the churches themselves will remain open
for public worship during the ensuing year pe-
fore the law goes finally into effect In the
mean time should the clergy refuse to yield,
ministerial declaration will be issued indicating
clearly the intention of the Cabinet TO ask par
lament for special legislation to meet the situa-
ton.
According to well informed persons, drastic
action has been decided upon by the Cabinet.
1t is understood that the government declara-
ton at the reassembling of Parliament on No
vernber will contain a proposal TO extend to
the clergy the clause of the enactment dated
June 26 1899 which makes Frenchmen holding
public office under foreign government lose
their French nationality and rights of citizen
shin if they refuse to resign within fixed period
when called on to do so by the French gov
eminent Should parliamentary powers TO this
effect be obtained, these persons say. it is not
the intention of the government to apply them
unless acts by the clergy assume the character
Of open rebellion or are of really grave nature.
Their simple refusal to form cultural assoca-
tions will not be considered a sufficient motive
for proceeding TO the extreme limits Of the
measure.
It is said that the sarren Cabinet. before its
resignation had fully agreed upon the pro-
posaI of this measure, but hitherto the secret
has been closely guarded. In clerical circles 1t
is considered that the governments action is
intended for the purpose of promoting schis-
matte movement in the Church.
Some Of the newspapers say that the Council
of State, after consideration of the question Of
what constitutes a legal association, Is prepared
to render a decision that only associations
formed with the consent of the former church
wardens and parish priests are legally entitled
TO take over church property If this proves To
be correct the decision will give an impetus 70
schism, as of all the associations thus far con-
sttuted only two have the concurrence of both
the parish priest and church wardens, and these
have been interdicted by the bishops.
Bordeaux. Oct 26.-Cardinal Lecot Arch
bishop Of Bordeaux has issued appeal to the
faithful not TO Join false Catholics and bad
priests" in the formation of associations to take
over church property, warns the parishioners
who dfsobey his injunction that they will lose
the right 10 confess and receive the sacrament,
and informs the priests that they will be pro-
hibited from preaching and administering the
sacrament adding that those who thus wrong
fully acquire church property will not only die
in a state of sim but the obligation will rest
upon their posterity long the memory of
the robbery endures."
