RESTITUTION is said by the
ologians and ministers to be very
rare indeed. Many men profess
and seem genuinely converted,
but few make either private OF
public restitution. But Charles
Atkins, of Delaware, comes out
in a card stating that if he has
wronged any one in word or deed
he wants to make amends as far
as possible. One debt he paid
was 21 cents to a railway COM
pany he had cheated out of q fare.

FISH AND OYsTEp NOTES.

Annual meeting Of Chesapeake Bay
Fisherman's Assn will be held at
Murphy's Hotel, Richmond, February
10th.
State Commission of Fisheries will
meet at Cape Charles Saturday-to-
morrow-in special session to hear cases
of planters encrouching on the Baylor

According to reports, the muskrat
trappers are making good money this
season. Not only are the rats selling
higher than usual, but the hides are
bringing an average of fifty cents each,
and are in great demand. -Crisfield
Times.
Everything to eat keeps high in these
parts except oysters. the best of all the
eatables. Oysters, nice and fat, are
selling for 35c. bushel, and as long as
we can buy them at this price the meat
trusts may raise their prices as high as
they like, but they can't starve us folks
down here.-Southside Sentinel.
Capt. o. w. Hudson, Of the steamer
James River, is patroling the Potomac
diligently. He reports q good many
vessels dredging in the Potomac and
catching the best of oysters. The Vir-
GINA police boats are to be commended
for their vigilance in these waters

Fish in enclosed waters has mystic
fed the initiated for years. For ex-
ample, one will find perch, Dream, and
crayfsh in newly made dam. In
some cases as in New South Wales, the
waters had scarcely settled after the
rain, when the fish were observed, so
that Australian farmers started the
theory of spontaneous production.
But you must not forget that the hum
BILE duck is a fine fish culturian, and in
his migrations. one may note fish ova
on his breasts almost Matched, and his
webbed feet carry millions of eggs into
ponds and enclosed waters. This is one
of natures ways of propagating fish.
ADULTERATING OYSTERS.
The United States government is
going after those who transplant oysters
from salt water to fresh water and
frequently near the mouth of sewers,
where they are allowed to fatten and
enlarge beyond their normal proportions,
thus making them much more market
able, but less desirable to the consumer.
This was developed in the testimony of
DR.. Wiley, the government chief chem
list, before the Congressional subcom-
mittee engaged in investigating the
high prices of food stuffs. DR.. Wiley
characterized it as very fragrant form
OF adulteration. The more sewage the
oyster receives, he said, the more cor
pulent and whittier it becomes, giving it
a very edible appearance. So far
as Virginia and Maryland are con-
cerned. their order does not affect
the oyster. In fact it will help our
product by driving out oysters around
northern cities.

IN OLD KENTUCKY.

The Attraction at the Grand Next
Week.
F'In Old Kentucky the popular
and successful Blue Grass drama of
national repute, whose record of sue
cess is greater than any dramatic Of
fering of the day, will open the regu-
lar season of the Grand Sunday mat
inee, Aug. 28. Since it's original pro-
duction more than seventeen years
ago, it has never been withdrawn
from the stage for single season
and has amassed a fortune for it's
owners. While it's story is an old and
familiar one nowadays, theater pat
rons seem to enjoy re-telling of it,
for it invariably attracts crowded
houses wherever it is presented.
With mountain maid for a heroine,
the action begins amid the peaks and
ravines of Eastern Kentucky. Here
the simple mountain lass meets her
Blue Grass sweetheart To save him
from impending danger, she follows
him to his home near Lexington,
there disguises herself as a jockey,
and to save his fortunes, rides his
horse, Queen Bess," to victory in a
famous Kentucky race on the Lex
lngLOn course. "A mOOnShlner, a Ken
lucky colonel a faithful old servant
and several other types are central
figures in the story, which holds the
interest of the playgoer from begin
ming to end. An attractive and novel
feature of I'm Old Kentucky" is it's
band of little Afro-American boys,
who sing, dance and unite to form
brass band. An elaborate scenic out
fit always forms part of I'm Old Ken
tucky's" charm, and a company OF
unusual excellence is invariably pro-
vided. There is more genuine en-
tertainment and interest in a per-
formance of this stirring drama than
in many of the so-called recent New
York successes. The company this
year includes Mildred Johnson, Frank
P. Conway, Bert G. Clark, Conrad
Cantzen, Paul Pilkington, Carol War
rem and Helen Gurney.'

! It is with much satisfaction and
pleasure that the announcement is
made that the magnificent new Junior
Pioneers Hall, cor. of West Ninth
and Exchange streets, has been Sc
cured in which to hold the QUARTO-
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION of
THE APPEAL. This is a hall Cor
rather a building, for the whole
building will be used), which we have
never had before, nor have we ever
had hall that in elegance approxi-
mates this except when the reception
to the Minnesota graduates was held
in the United Commercial Travellers,
or old Elks' hall, over Field &
Schlick's store; and which was gen.
orally conceded by those who were
there, to have been the swellest local
social function ever held in St. Paul.
The coming TO-CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATION is to follow along the
same general lines of the graduates
reception and as in some respects the
accommodations and appointments
surpass those of the old Elks' hall;
and as the number that will attend
is expected to be much larger there
is little, if any, doubt that that mag
nificent entertainment will be far sur
passed, as it is the general concensus
of opinion that the coming affair
must be a full dress one. Just go
by the corner of Ninth and Exchange
the next time you. are in that neigh
borhood and take look at the mag
nificent building with it's large gran
ite pillars and broad stone steps and
the outside will give you an idea of
what the inside must be. Then go
home and begin to get ready to par
ticipate (if you are to be so FORUM
ate) in the most recherche local So
cial function ever witnessed in St.
