Oyster Dredging in the Potomac.

The large fleet of boats which were en-
ployed in dredging for oysters on Chesa-
peake bay and it's tributaries have been put
out of that service and are either laid up
or will be employed in fish running during
the shad and herring season now about to
open. The oyster taking season for the
oystermen using tongs does not terminate
until April %, but along the Potomac it
will be brought to an end April !. This
shutting down of the oyster season on the
river is by law for the purpose of lowing
the oyster beds four months in which to
recuperate from the seasons attack on
them. September next will be the begin
ming of the longing season on the river but
it will be several weeks later before the
dredge boats can go to work again. That
does not mean that after April l oysters
cannot be obtained in this city for many
oystermen have private beds from which
they can ship oysters IL there is demand
for them The outlook is, however, for
warm weather this spring, and in that
event the demand for the bivalves will be
very light.
Those who are acquainted with cond-
tons on the river say that the supply of
small oysters left on the beds is larger this
year than 1t has been for several years,
and the outlook for a good supply of fine
oysters next season is excellent The oys-
ter business. it is stated, has been very sat
isfactory during the season just closed.
The supply has been fair and the prices
good, SO that the oyster tongers and dredg-
ers down river have made some money and
the oyster runners have also done well.
The sale of shucked stock brought here
from Norfolk and other points has inter
fered somewhat with the sale of the home
opened stock.
to operate dredge winders has proved ex-
ceedingly satisfactory, and it is probable
that nearly every dredge boat operating on
the Chesapeake bay will be equipped next

landscape work. Charming indeed are many
of the bits OF country which are here set
forth. Whatever the camerists have left
undone they have at least recognized
beauty when they found it and realized the
value of good composition. And the charm
of many of these views has depended more
upon light and atmospheric effect than
upon mere line and contour There are
gray days and sunny ones, twilight pic
lures and gliCnpses of the sunrise, subtle
renderings and evidences OF strong, bid
treatment. Many are faithful transcript
tons. but not few are interpretations sym
pathetically rendered. And the manner of
rendering is extremely dssimilar. Some
are broadly handled with a wash, 9TH
ers delicate and refined as an etching
while still many suggest chalk or charcoal
drawing. and not a few might be Ekened to
steel engravings. 1t is just here that the
individuality CT the worker is displayed and
that the personal equation gains admission.
Strange as 1t may seem, it is very easy to
distinguish between the work of pictorial

Tile sixteenth annual exhibition of the

interesting pictures and much excellent

camera medium of expression, it mani

years In pictorial photography. Over three

greater number than ever before. and the

Photography. it has been said. Is not a
fine art, but 1t is something more than a
craft. The pictorial photographer has many
of the same problems to solve as the paint
er and, while his mechanical aids are
greater, his limitations are proportionately
more. There are very few ready made pic
lures awaiting either the camera hunts

Married Men Not Wanted.

WlLkESBARRE. Pa, March 30.-Capt.
Groome of Philadelphia. commander of the
state constabulary, has issued orders that
any private who gets married shall receive
an honorable discharge, while no married
men shall be enlisted.
This order was necessary. says Capt.
Groome. because married troopers live out
side the barracks and are not readily avail
able in case of sudden call for duty,
making most of the work of this kind fal

duced through applied photography. And
next in order attention will be drawn to the
prints contributed by Mr.. w. S. Cline be-
cause of their originality and daring. A
year ago Mr.. Cline was trying experiments
with color, and though he has not yet at
tanned perfect results he has approached
nearer it. His Corn Shocks are as good
as anything trat has been done along this
line. but the excellence of his monOtnts dis
credit the effort. No amount of color, no
matter how skillfully introduced, could for
example. improve the 'Cedlrs'' tNo. 54.

manner of red chalk drawing ana with

photographers through a knowledge OF their
manner when one is at all familiar with 1t.
In this exhibition the work of each con-
tr!butor is grouped and all are hung and
numbered consecutively. In measure this
initiates against the effect of the collection
as a whole, but 1t adds exceedingly to the
pleasure and value of the exhibition. Gu
riously enough, no single exhibitor seems to
be specialist, but each contributes work
embracing a variety of themes. Every
group is in this way a type of the whole,
and the visitor passing around the gallery
will be more engaged by the incidents of
the exhibit than by any broad prime pies
which il might have displayed.
