Mr.. Editor: One Of your CON
temporaries has rightly said that
"thc innocent oyster is the cause Of
more trouble in New Jersey than
any other one thing; bills upon bills
have been introduced, but still the
oystcrlnen fight That editor also
says that one oysternlan is fighting
along with the commission for leas-
ed propogating grounds, while an
other one living in the same COM
munity thinks leasing them would
create a trust.
The last time that the oyster
planters made a public declaration
as to whether they wanted to lease
their grounds was in 1905, when a
petition with over 500 names Of
planters signed thereto asking that
these lands be set apart, and not
leased, was presented to the legis-
lature.
In addition to this about 40
planters asked for the appointment
of commissioners who would have
authority to lease the grounds. This
was granted. The newspaper to
which | have referred tells us that
500 oyster planters are not salts
fed to have the commissioners lease
their grounds.
A few facts should prove whc-
ther the planters are right in fight
ing the commissioners bills: In
Cumberland County where the
State does not lease the propogating
grounds, the planters can get plants
for from 25 cents to 40 cents per
bushel. In New England where
the grounds are leased to trusts and
corporations, the prices are from
so to so cents per bushel accord
ing to size.

HE THAT LIvETH

Rev. l :18-sI am He that liv-
eth and was dead; and behold
am alive forevermore, amen; and
have the keys Of hell and Of death. Y
These words were addressed by
the glorifed Saviour to John, the
beloved disciple, sixty years after
Christ's resurrection. All the
other Apostles had finished their
earthly work and, like Jesus, had
been put to death by enemies fol
the gospels sake. John, near 100
years Of age, still lived, but was a
prisoner-banished to the Isle OF
Patinos because of his christian
ity. When the Saviour appeared tc
him and uttered our text in which
he claims to be the living Lord.
'Fhe life he represents Himself az
possessing; is:
~. Life after death. II am
He that liveth and was dead" He
had lived in-heaven from before its
beginning, III the fullness Of time
came to earth as a little child, lived
50 years, the average Of human
life on earth, was put to death on
the cross, and rose again the Sd
day. This dying and rising again
were parts Of the plans Of His
earthly career. In the old testa-
lnent it had been fortold Of Him,
and He Himself, before it occurr-
ed, predicted it. Destroy this
temple" {" Said He, and in three
days | will raise it up again. As
Jonah was three days and three
nights in the whales belly, 50 shall
the Son Of Man be three days in
the heart Of the earth" He told
His disciples that He must 90 to
Jerusalem be killed and rise
again the third day. The predic-
tion was precisely fulfilled. He
was crucifed, died for the sins Of
His people made an atonenent
Tor them-was laid in the grave
and after three days rose again.
Ills own disciples at first doubted
Ills resurrection, but after they
had seen Him, talked with Him,
ate with Him, witnessed the spear
mark in His side and the nail
prints in His hands and had re-
ceived much instructions from
Him, they believed 50 implicitly in
His rising again that nothing, not
even death could lead them to deny
Him or keep them from bearing
witness to this important truth.

SOMETHING WE ALL KNOW

The Pleasantville Heat, Light and
Power Company announces elsewhere
in this issue reduction in the price of
gas and electricity, which will prove in
teresting news to the public. Since this
Company obtained control of the local
lighting plants there has been mark
ed improvement in the service. The quail
ity of the gas has been much improved,
the candle power has been raised and the
service generally shows changed con
dition that is highly satisfactory to the
consumer.

THE HEN BUSINESS.
The Road to Success Lies in Good
Breeds-Hints by an Expert.

w. H. Card of the Manchester Poul-
try association, who has acted as a
judge at the local shows, has some
interesting ideas about hens. He has
this advantage over many of the men
who talk about hens. that he is one of
the few who ever made a living off
just hens and nothing else.
He says frankly that he is not go
ing to put any false frills on the hen
business. No one is going to get rich
irs it. Only one man ever did. 1t is a
business Of small proportions. When
it comes to hiring help, the profit is
all knocked out. One peculiar thing
about the hen business is that so many
are in it who have made failures in
something else. Why on earth should
a man who has failed elsewhere think
he can succeed in the hen business. a
most peculiar and trying one? If a
man cannot succee din some other line
of business, he should let hens alone.
Everyone who makes success with
hens is going to do it on business
principles. He is going to know what
his outgo is and his income. He isn't
even going to keep a fifty-cent hen if
she doesn't pay interest on the money.
Mr.. Card said that he learned that
much out of the hardware business,
which he started in to learn in his
youth. but which he was lured from by
the attractions of the hen. He always
did like hens, anyhow, and what was
the use of spending the one life we
were sure Of doing something we did
not like so well as something else.
just because there was more money
in it?
He was hardened to being called a
Chicken man" and a 'fancier" He
was fancier, and glad Of it, and so
must any man be who is going to take
any interest in his hens. When a
man starts in every morning to clean
235 feet of dropping boards, he has
cot to have something else to think of
besides those dropping boards, or he
must get out of the business quick.
There is about the most monotonous
drudgery in the care of hens conceiv-
able. But, if a man is thinking of
breeding up his stock to a higher
standard, or trying to find a bird to
win at a show. che work gets done,
and the man forgets that it is drudgery
because he has an interest.
Then, too. the thoroughbred fowls
win over strictly dollars and cents
Dressed thoroughbred chickens bring
more per pound, as they are more uni
form in appearance. The eggs of the
same kind of thoroughbreds are also
more uniform in size and color and SO
command the highest prices. 1t was
disgrace to find how few yards of
thoroughbred fowls there were in
New England.
Two hints about raising chickens, as

Hugh G. Willis is captain, but may not

All the players in the lineup have
played in different positions for sew
eral years, and all have good records.
The battery, Moore and Robertson,
are rated among the topnotchers.
Moore has pitched under salary two
seasons for the Catskill team of Hud-
son, N. Y, with a record for games
won. Robertson's work behind the bat
was seen ad admired by everyone last
season. Two years ago the home team
won 81 out of 80 games played, and

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL.
MARROW PRICE MOVEMENT.
Selling to Take Profits the Order of
the Day.

New York, April 20.-The strength
Of Reading was the principal sustain
ing influence IN today's stock market.
Without that prices apparently would
have sagged, as sales to take profits
were the order of the day in the ma
jority Of the list. The special strength
of Reading was the outgrowth, partly,
of the persistent rice in price Of Cen
trail Railroad OF New Jersey, Of which
Reading is large holder. This
strength was transferred today to Bal
timore and Ohio, owing to the fact that
that company shares with the Lake
Shore the central of Reading itself
The sympathetic effect Of the strength
of this group and Of a miscellaneous
collection of specialties was not con-
vineing, and the general list did not,
at any time, respond. While the de-
msnd in the general list failed to re-
spond, there was hesitation about sell
ing. The consequence was q consider

selling became more CONSPICUOUS late

for export to South America. and there
was an option on part of the engage
ment for export to France. A slight
advance in sterling exchange rates
here and a similar fall in Paris would
precipitate an outgo of gold to France.
The money market is not notably af-
fected, but the bank surplus is at q

JEALOUS RIVALRY
Said to Have Caused Separation of
Sculptor Frederick MacMonnies and
His Wife.

Because jealous rivalry as artists
grew up and choked the affection
which had made them man and wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick acMonnies,
who have been living in Paris, have
been legally separated from each other.
Frederick MacMonnies is one of the
most famous sculptors in the world,
a man of international fame, and, al
though American born, regarded on
the continent of Europe as one of the
most brilliant men in his art in the
world. Mrs. MacMonnies. who is a
New Haven girl being formerly Miss
May Fairchild, the daughter of Sidney
P. Fairchild. in civil war times super
irtendent of the Western Union Tele-
graph company's New Haven office, is
gifted painter, so gifted, in fact that
it has led to the separation from her
husband.
A great surprise and sensation in
artistic circles has been occasioned by
the report from Paris of the separa-
ton. This report is confirmed by
Frederick Fairchild, the present man
ager of the New Haven Western
Union office, an uncle of Mrs. Mac
Monnies. He stated last week that
he had just received a letter from his
niece confirming the facts as stated
and containing this statement:
Il have left my husband and my
proach of scandal connected with the
case. but we have decided to live
apart"
Mrs. MacMonnies was born in New
Haven. In 1870 with her father she
removed to New Orleans, where the
family stayed until about 1880, at
which time they removed to st. Louis.
There the young woman won a prize
for her excellent painting which en-
| titled her to two years of study in
Paris. 1t was while in Paris in 1888
that she met the famous sculptor and
his genius captured the young wo-
| mans heart. They were married in
Paris that year and have had two
children. who are with the mother.
