THINKS AMERICAN
STURGEON GOOD ENOUGH

Joseph Anderson. of Delaware City.
was in Wilmington today and talked
at length regarding the stocking of tho
Delaware river with Danube sturgeon.
To an EVENING JOURNAL reporter
he said "All this talk about Danube
sturgeon is really remarkable. Just
say for me that such a movems at would
block our own system of propagating
the sturgeon. After an experience in
sturgeon fishing l say that we need no
Danube sturgeon. We need a hatchery.
The government would have had No
trouble this year in getting all the
spawn necessary TO start propagation
on a large scale. have seen the day
when 400 sturgeon boats were on the
Delaware and many times there would
be eighty boats in view on one tide
! have paid men $1,000 season, four
months being used in the business.
We can get along nicely with tho
American sturgeon.
Why should we have to depend on
the Danube sturgeon when plenty OF
American sturgeon can be had for a
hatchery along the Delaware

Trustee Of the Poor A. V. Leslie George

Farmers may come and go but like the

Hospital at Farnhurst goes on forever
with its champion yields. We threshed this

We do not use much fertilizer but culti-

ON WATCH FOR
LOTTERY TICKETS
United States Inspectors Hope
To Prevent Their Sale In
The States

United States postofiice inspectors
throughout the east are watching for
evidence Of lottery tickets which are
expected soon TO make their appear
ance as the result Of the national lot
terry law recently passed by the Cuban
Congress. This fact was admitted by
Albert F. Furniss, an inspector from
Philadelphia
"Of course" said he, I'VE are always
on the lookout for lottery agents and
the transportation of lottery tickets or
he money obtained therefore, but the
closeness of Cuba and the fact the
government has nationalized the busi-
ness will cause even greater vigilance
Although II has been reported that large
orders were placed for tickets In this
country, even prior to the passage Of
the Cuban lottery law, on the assusnp-
tion that the bill would pass. there has
ben no evidence as yet that any of the
tickets have found their way here
with the actual sale of them. Of
course, we have nothing whatever to
do. That is State matter But the
knowledge that they are being sold
gives us our clue. and starts us on
the road 20 running down the manner
in which they came The lottery tick
cts from foreign countries, Germany,
Honduras and Havana, the latter hav-
ing been heretofore conducted pri-
vately do come in there is little doubt.
The best evidence Of tits that we are
constantly making arrests and procur-
ing evidence but since the govern
ments recent crusade against the busi-
ness and the passage of the most strin-
gent laws the disposal OF tickets has
been reduced 10 a minimum. don't
believe anything like the amount eN-
pected 20 be sold in the United States

SHORT GLOVES FOR STREET.
The smartest CoIors Are Old Leather,
Dark Tan and Gray.

Short gloves are to the fore for
street wear, inasmuch as the long,
close sleeve has rendered the long
gloves unnecessary except for evening
wear or other full dress. These walk
ing gloves have one or two clasps,
pioue-sewn seams, and corded stitched
backs. The colors most in evidence are
old leather, dark tan and gray. Channels
gloves are out In an excellent new
form for winter, and are much more
satisfactory than formerly, as they can
be washed very successfully. They
are heavy enough for comfortable
warmth, and have remarkable wearing
qualities, which is an important Item
for consideration. For washing the
gloves satisfactorily, care must be ex'
ercised in both washing and drying
them. Use a suds of warm water and
rub the chamois very gently; but In
order to get the seams quite clean II
may be necessary to use Drush'
which should not be too stiff. Many
women prefer not to rinse out quite
all the soap as when left In the
chamois is less apt to be stif. Snake
them well, and as they dry pull them
into shape. The drying process Is
very, very slow, so they can be handled
and pulled into shape from time 10
time, thereby having less chance TO
shrink and become misshapen.
White gloves are worn for evening
and afternoon dress affairs. Glace kid
Is considered more dressy at present
whether in black, tan or white, SUEDE
being more used for street wear than
for dress.-From the Delineator.

Two Charming Wraps.

one that will hold its own until time

Of the cape caught under the arm with
a passementerie button and loop. Inc

green satin.
Another charming wrap OF direc'oire
persuasion is OF Hudson bay sable
with the skins matched to give q
striped erect. Short wide sleeves
ending with deep turned-back Guns
