Urges Fishing Compact

In an effort to get the compact between
New Jersey and Delaware, embodying
uniform laws OIL fishing in the Delaware
River and Bay, speedily ratified by the
Legislature, Governor Lee on Monday
sent a special message to the Delawar
Assembly. He emphasized the need of
early action because the fishing season is
approaching.
The compact was drawn up by com
missioners representing the two States,
has been passed upon as to its legal form
by the Attorney Generals of both States
and has been approved by Congress. The
result of the commissioners report was
House bill No 1876, a similar bill being
also submitted to the New Jersey Legis-
lature for the ratification of the compact.

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. THE Cen
trail League race, which will end to-
morrow, is decided, except as between
Evansville, Canton and Terre Haute,
which are punched within a range of
eleven points for third position, as they
were a week ago, and in the order
named. The Springfield leaders i'm
proved their standing from .639 to .651
in the week. and Wheeling, in second
place, from $50 to .573. Dayton,
Grand Rapids and South Bend trail off
to the bottom of the column, with no
chance for change before the end in
their relative positions, which is es-
pecially disappointing to Dayton,
whose fans believed Malachi Kittridge,
the new manager. could land the club
in the first division. Now they are
calling for another manager for next
season. Seven men have served in
that capacity in two seasons.

But Poland persisted through her

Reign of Terror.
Most countries which have died have
gone down fighting. The Roman en-
pire persisted like that. and by the
irony OF fate the power of the Caesars
came TO an end far away from Rome.
After it had existed for centuries the
Roman em8ire became so vast and I'M
wieldy that il had TO be divided into
two, the empire Of the west and the
empire of the east. The capital of the
former was Rome.
The empire of the west became so
weak at last that it could make no
stand against its enemies. Rome was
sacked by the barbarians and eventu-
ally became not the capital of a vast
empire, but the city Of the popes. over
which the pontifs reigned as kings.
The temporal power of the popes last
ed till 1870, while the capital of Italy
was first Turin and then Milan. Final
" the city was taken without a real
fight by the soldiers of the king OF
Italy.
The empire of the east had it's CAPT
tai at Constantinople. For centuries it
was the greatest power in the world.
But it became honeycombed with vice
and enervated with pride and luxury:
also it grew old and weak. Then in

as time went on the great rajahs, or
tributary kings, rebelled against the
moguls. India was rent asunder by the
wars between rival raiahs. This gave
the Europeans n chance.
France at first held the upper hand
and nearly conquered the land, but
