HUNTERS GET BUSY.
Lose No Time Seeking Rabbits and
Quail in Nearby States.

In most Of the counties of Maryland and
Virginia the fall cunning season opens
November l. but yesterday being Sunday
it was against the law to do any shoot
ing. Reports received here this morning
indicate that the law was openly vio-
lated in many places.
Market dealers here this morning had
sufficient rabbits and quail on their
benches to indicate that somebody did
considerable shooting before today. Rab-
bits sold for p. 80 and So cents, while
quail were quoted at 81 dozen.
Some quail that had been in cold stor-
age were also offered for sale. They are
not considered as good as the fresh killed
birds however, although consumers were
willing to buy them. 1t was said by one
dealer that rabbits cannot be kept in cold
storage. the cold air having an injurious
effect upon them.
Tomorrow, it is thought, there will be
the usual large number of gunners in the
surrounding country who attack game
election days. Many of the voters Joined
the army of sportsmen yesterday. some
went away today. and still others will
depart tomorrow.
While the quail and rabbit season open
ed today. shippers also sent local dealers
other game. Ducks of all varieties ara
being received. although not in large num-
bers. The supply. however. is greater
than the demand and prices are consider
ed as fairly reasonable. Canvasbacks
are quoted at from So to SIS pair. NAL
lards at 81 each. blackheads. rudy and
butterballs at 80 cents each, and redheads
at $1.5O and So a pair.
Snipe, plover and reedbirds are also to
be had. Snipe and plover are scarce at
b cents each. while reedbirds from the
cold storage plant are IS cents a dozen.
1t is said by the dealers that the reed
birds from cold storage are as good as
the fresh killed birds.

BISHOP SCORES NoN-voTER.
Criminal, Skulker and Coward. Says
Fallows of Chicago.

CHICAGO, November 1.-THE man
who does not vote is a criminal a
skulker and a coward"
Thus declared Bishop Fallows yes
terday in st. Pauls Reformed Episco-
pal Church in his sermon prelude The
Citizens Duty at Election" Disfran-
chisement of the man who has the
power to vote and fails to exercise it
was suggested by the bishop as the
remedy for apathy on the part of the
voters
The pulpits Of the land ought to
ring out the strongest utterance on the
high crime of not voting. 1t would be
drastic measure which doubtless
would not carry to disfranchise the
man who had the power to vote and
deliberately refused to exercise it.
THE republics affairs cannot be car
ried on without his aid any more than
the conduct of an army without the sol
dier's loyal response to the word of
command. And he is a skulker and a
coward in the civil ranks of life who
does not vote, as the soldier is who
hides or shows the white feather in the
time of an engagement"

In every organized community. it is
a peculiar thing that a policeman is look

CONTINENTAL. Ohio. November "A
good-Sized crowd was on hand at the rail-
road station to greet John w. Kern. the

intimate personal friends, in the volume entitled
"Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln published
in 1885, wrote follows of this period of
Lincoln's life:
"a difference, however, soon arose between him
and the old proprietor, the present partner of
Lincoln in reference to the introduction of whisky
into the establishment. The partner insisted that,
the principle that honey catches flies, barrel of
whisky in the store would invite custom and their
sales would increase while Lincoln, who never
liked liquor, opposed the innovation. He told me
not more than a year before he elected Presi-
dent that he had never tasted liquor in his life.
WHAT | said do you mean to say you never
tasted it? Yes; | never tasted it. The result
that bargain made by which Lincoln
should retire from his partnership in the store"
Lincoln retired from the partnership with Berry
with heavy debt resting upon him that it took
him years to pay.
Mr. Lincoln not only did not use liquor, even
when young man, but he urged others not to
do so. Several biographers relate the incidents,
in which, being urged to show his strength, he
lifted barrel of whisky above his head and took
a drink of the liquor out of the bunghole. Some
one remarked, "Well, Abe, you have taken drink
of whisky for once in your life and broken your

staner from the use of liquor. The declaration
that Lincoln sold liquor is based upon the fact
that he was at one time clerk in a store in which
liquor may have been sold, and that he was asso-
cated in business with named Berry, who
applied for hotel license to sell liquor, and the
name of Lincoln as we'll as that of Berry was
signed to this application. 1t would not have
been surprising if he had done so, for liquor was
common article of commerce, in all stores in his
day, but there is evidence that either clerk
or as the associate of Berry, Lincoln sold liquor

now" DR.. Robert H. Browne author of "Abra-
ham Lincoln and the Men of His Time" one of
the best of the biographies of Lincoln, says that
Lincoln followed his action with few words to
his friends standing around, which Lincoln after
ward spoke of as his first temperance speech
MY friends" Lincoln said, you will do well and
the best you can with it to empty this barrel of
liquor the ground as I threw it out of my
mouth. AS good friend, without count
ing the distress and wreckage of mind let me
advise that if you wish to remain healthy and
strong, turn it away from your lips"
Even Ward Lamon, who is quoted as one
authority for the statement that Lincoln was not
Prohibtionist, declares:
For many years he ardent agitator
against the use of Intoxicating beverages, and
made speeches far and near in favor of total
abstinence Some of them were printed and of
one he not little proud He abstained him
self not so much principle as because of total
lack of appetite. He had taste for spirituous
liquors, and when he took them it was punish
ment to him, not indulgence. But he disliked
sumptuary laws and would not prescribe by
statute what other men should eat or drink When
the temperance men ran to the legislature to in
woke the powers of the state, his voice-the most
eloquent among thenl-was silent. He did not
oppose them, but quietly withdrew from the cause
and left others to manage it"
The reasons given by Mr.. Lamon for Mr..
Lncolns abstinence from liquor and of his opposi-
ton to so-called sumptuary legislation merely
the expression of his Oamon's) personal opinion.
They are not logical consequence of Lincolns
lack of taste for spirituous liquors; indeed the
reverse would be the case, for Mr.. Lincoln would
not have been making speeches far and near in
favor of total abstinence if he had not been sincere
in his opposition to liquor and if he were adj
vocating total abstinence simply because he him
self had no taste for liquor. His temperance adj
