THE NEW SCHEME
OF FISH HATCHER|Es
One In Garrett County Visited And
Pronounced a Grand Success.
R. T. BROWNING GAVE A DINNER
State Fish Commissioner Brook Ac-
companied the Party and Gave Ex-
ceilent New ideas-PIan Now is to
Keep Fish Until They Are Large.

BY kind invitation of r. T. Brown
ing, fish commissioner, we spent day
with several gentlemen who had met to
accompany Mr.. Brooke, state fish COM
missioner, in an inspection of the fish
nurseries established at Lake Brown.
The day was an ideal one and the
drive from Oakland to Lake Brown over
good road gave an opportunity to en-
joy the beautiful scenery. A hearty
welcome awaited us at the hospitable
home of Mr.. Browning, and nature
seemed to vie in making the day an en-
joyable one.
After a short and pleasant chat, the
party started for the nurseries, about a
quarter of a mile from the house. Mr..
Brooke explained the object of these
nurseries, now in the third year of trial
The Matching process is conducted at
Druid Hill Park, Baltimore, and the
young frye are transported in cans to
be placed in these nurseries and fed
daily for several months until the young
trout reach a size of two or three
inches when they are transferred to the
streams in this section of our state.
Placing the young and recently hatch
ed fish in our streams, before they We're
large enough to secure their proper
food or escape the attacks of their
numerous enemies, was found very I'M
profitable, and it might be said useless.
Mr.. Brooke adopted the plan Of protec-
ton these nurseries afford, and thus be
able to put into our streams young trout
large enough to reasonably guarantee
they would reach maturity. Thus far
the experiment has worked very salts
tactorily and the encouragement thus
: far Justifies the conclusion, that con-
tinuation of this admirable plan will re-
suit in stocking our mountain streams
with that speckled beauty, the brook
trout, the JOY Of the angler and the
dream of the epicurean. This new de-
partment in fish culture, will certainly
entitle our fish commissioners to the
gratitude of all disciples of Sir Isaac
Walton.
After some time spent inspecting the
nurseries and listening attentively to
Mr.. Brooke's very interesting explana-
lions Of his plans and expectations, the
party returned to the cottage home Of
Mr.. Browning, where a dinner awaited
them, which needed no assistance from
the bracing, invigorating mountain air,

Between Home And Business.

There is great army of Newt Y rk
business men who think, as commuters,
they travel, are doing pretty well when
they travel, some of them as high as
100 miles between their places Of bust
ness and their homes each night and
morning. But the longest road toIbusi-
ness is probably that traversednby Mr..
John H. Watkins, president. of the
National Bank of Commerce, of Mem
phis, Tenn. He has a country home at
Mount Kisco, in Westminster county,
New York. He travels between his
business in Memphis and his home in
Mount Kisco in large automobile,
which is specially equipped and built
machine The machine is 60-horse-
power, and contains a writing desk, a
typewriter, many facilities for business,
and a library of about 100 volumes
Mr.. Watkins travels with a stenogra-
pher all the time. and he attends to
most of his correspondence and lot of
other business while travelling. 1t takes
about six days to make the run from
his country home to his business.

COMMUNICATED.
Correction From Selbysport in Which
There are more Church Affairs.

To the Editor Of The Republican:
The best correction we can give so
called Correction" occurring in!an is
sue of your paper as published above
the signature of B.F. Friend, of here,
who styles himself as president of the
Board of Election" is, to quote to you
the law upon the question which says:
'In every charge which consists of
more than one Church or Society, the
Judges of Election shall constitute
Returning Board for the Charge and
shall meet as soon as convenient after
the elections shall have been held,
shall canvass the returns, declare the
results, and issue the certificates of
election as Delegate and Reserve dele
gate to the persons receiving the high
est number of votes - The elections
resulted in 50 votes for Nathan r. Sell
by, SO votes for Clarence V. Guard, and
l36 votes for Geo. Bishof. The certifi-
cate issued, was done in private session
by two Of the judges, and given to the
one receiving the smallest number of
votes, making it q false issue. We
hereby correct the so called "Correc-
ton" by stating that we have issued
certificates to the two receiving the
highest number of votes" who alone
have a lawful right to the same. The
Delegate named in the Correction, "
was chosen by Sc votes and the consent
of the two Judges (himself being one)
and one teller. BY the vote of 50 mem
bers of the church (53 at Selbysport and
2 at Friendsville, none of whom voted
but once) Nathan r. Selby is chosen as
Delegate, which is in harmony with the
law, as copied from the Discipline, as
quoted above The main reason we
give for this reply is, we believe that
it is time for the affairs of the Charge
to be attended to by the majority and
not by two or three Our Judge was
present to meet with the Returning
| Board, but upon the refusal Of the
other two to accept his returns, he
took it as an insult and left before any
business was transacted. 1t would be
but an easy thing for US to send you a
protest against the illegal proceedings
of the Correction, with the signature
of all the members of the Selbysport,
and many from the other points of the
charge. We will have more to say upon
the matter, if necessary.

Franhlin's Famous Toast.

Franklin was dining with small par
ty Of distinguished gentlemen, when
one of them said: Here are three
nationalihes represented am French,
and my friend here is English, and Mr.
Franklin is an American. Let each one
propose a toast.
1t was agreed to, and the English
mans turn came first. He arose, and,
in the tone of Briton bold, said:
Here's to Great Britain, the sun
that gives light to all nations of the
earth "
The Frenchman was rather taken
back at this, but he proposed; Here
to France, the moon whose magic
rays moves the world.
Franklin then arose, with an air of
quaint modesty, and said; Here's to
George Washington, the Joshua of
America, who commanded the sun and
moon to stand still-and they obeyed. -
