The Independent brings it's article
to a close by suggesting that over
all the nesting states there shall be,
in this year of grace, 1909, a Bird
Day-to be annually observed here
after-when we feast them and re-
new with them our treaties of alli-
ance. Make the day early enough,
it urges, to include the robins and
bluebirds, but late enough for cat
birds, grossbeaks and other late
Springs comers also.
The suggestion is wise and splen-
did one. Also, there is no reason
why the dwellers in our Northeast
ern Pennsylvania farming region and
suburban home sections should wait
for people anywhere else to be in
the lead of them in inaugurating
such a day.

Fish News.

NCNSs
An important discovery has been
made by Commissioner of Fisheries
William E. Meehan of Pennsylvania,
that may result in the restocking of
the Delaware river with sturgeon, a
fish that was practically exterminated
20 years ago by the extensive fishing
done to satisfy the demand for real"
Russian caviare, says the Philadel-
phia Record. He has found, after
five years of investigation, that eggs
may be procured from small sturg-
con, of evidently immature growth,
and there are now 100 such eggs in
the State hatcheries at Torresdale.
Within a week, Mr.. Meehan expects
to have million sturgeon eggs.
Years ago the Delaware was full of
sturgeon. A great industry grew up
around them, not because of their
flesh, although that is palatable, but
because of their roes, which were
used as caviare. Before 1890 much
of the so-called Russian" caviare
was procured from the Delaware
sturgeon, shipped from here to Rus
sia, put up in Russian boxes with
Russian labels and sent back here as
imported stuff. The fishermen were
so greedy that they practically ex-
terminated the sturgeon. For a
while the fish itself was a drug on
the market. So much of it came in
that it had no value. The flesh was
entirely subordinated to the roes.
Suddenly a scarcity came, because
no roes were left for breeding, and
since then sturgeon have been rare.
The price of a big sturgeon, to 10
feet long, was $40 in 1890; now it
is from 800 to $3.50.
Should Mr.. Meehan's experiments
prove successful the Delaware will
once again TEEN with sturgeon. The
former waste, however, will not be
repeated, since the fish laws will pro-
vide against this and the State fish
cries of New Jersey and Pennsylvania
will annually restock the river. Once
the river is successfully stocked, there
can be no determination as that pre-
vious to 1890.

BEACH HARGIs GUILTY..
Goes to Prison For Life For Murder
of His Father.


IRVINE, Ky, April 20.-On his
second trial for the murder of his
father, Beach Hargis, was found
guilty, and the jury fixed his punish
ment at imprisonment for life.
Young Hargis showed no emotion
when the verdict was rendered. Nei-
ther did his mother and sister, by
whom he sat.
The murder of Judge Hargis by his
son occurred in the judges store at
Jackson, Breathitt county, Feb. 6,
1908. Beach went to the Hargis
store, where his father asked him
what he had been doing. 1t is not
known what Beach answered, but
the two clinched.
In the struggle Beach shot his
father four times. The bullets were
fired through Beach's coat, he not
having had time, 1t is said, to draw
the weapon. The pistol belonged to
the murdered father, having been
taken from the store by young Har-
gis. The boys mother made every
effort to get his freedom.

She leaned toward him, and
caught the words, "I-pray-the-
d-my-soul-to-keep."
1t was a prayer learned at his
mothers knee, and as he breathed
it, his face wore look as peaceful
and innocent as little child's.
The nurse returned presently and
stopped beside the bed.
Your mission is fulfilled" she
whispered gently.-Boston Post.

The postage stamp made it's first

is due to James Chalmers, a printer
of Dundee, who died in 1868. Eng

and issued the first stamps for pub

THE FISH INDUSTRY.

Between three and four million
fish fry have been distributed dur
ing the past fortnight throughout
northeastern Pennsylvania from the
Pleasant Mount fish hatchery in
Wayne county. Each year the
hatchery produces about 100000
brook trout fry, 100000 yellow
perch, 100000 pickerel, 100000
catfish, 100000 bull frogs, 250,000
black bass, 100000 lake trout and
100000 silver sided salmon. The
hatchery is in charge of N. R. Butler,
who has been employed by the gov
ernment in this capacity for num-
ber of years, and is thoroughly ex-
perienced in fish breeding. In ship
ping the fry, ordinary milk cans are
used, 1000 tiny fry being used in
each can in which the purest of wa
ter and large chunks of ice are plac-
ed. The superintendent or an as
sistant accompanies each shipment,
and every twelve hours the water
and ice are replenished. Fishermen
have taken more interest than usual
this year in stocking the streams,
the drought last season having been
disastrous to the denizens of the
brooks.

The statistical reports that have recent.

Of opinions written annually by our su
preTDe court judges is likely TO be mis-
leading in respect to the amount of labor
performed by them. II, in the year 1908,
they wrote Is opinions apiece, then the
five judges wrote 90 opinions, which
made a fair sized volume But the Ia
Dor Of each judge does not consist in
merely writing opinions ia the cases as
signed him, fer the five judges hear all
the cases argued, and, in consultation
during the term, at their meetings be-
tween the terms aud at their homes in
their private libraries, they all study each
case, SO that when decision is arrived at
and an opinion promulgated It Is the de-
cision of all or at least OF majority, for
occasionally cften-there i dis
senting opinion.
Many cases are, OF course, easily decid-
ed; others, involving constitutional ques-
tiops, the construction OF statutes, the IL
ability of corporations for personal In
iuries and many others, require much
study and research, but when a decision
is made it is the opinion OF all the judges
and each should be able to have written
the opinion. In some courts the several
judges write their own views, differing
upon finer points, concurring in the gem
eral results, OF finally differing.
There is tradition that, some forty
years ago, two eminent judges Of our su-
preme court often discussed cases, in con-
sultation, with more Representatives
with more heat-than lawyers had shown
in arguing their cases, but such discuss
sions generally ended in harmony aud
right decisions. The United States SUI
preme court is noted for the differing
opinions Of the judges. We may add that
the opinions of the supreme court OF our
state have always held high rank and
have been widely quoted by courts OF
other ates.-Brattleboro Phoenix.
