OYSTER SEASON OPENS
indications Of A Good Yield and Pros
perious Season

Yesterday the oyster season opened
and the prospects for a good season
are bright. The oysters are in good
condition, and the mussels which were
the cause of most disastrous season
last year, have entirely disappeared.
The prices for the opening day We're
fair, bringing from 80 to 45 cents a
bushel, according to quality. The
average catch was below normal, some
only catching ten bushels, which is a
por yield for a days work on the
bars.
The weather was warm. and the
oystermen were compelled to shorten
their days labor on account of the
heat. With the advent of cool wealth
er, these conditions are expected TO
improve
Haekett's Point bars. which last
year were afflicted with the mussels,
have cleared up entirely, and the BIZ
valves have rich, salty flavor. In
fact, none of the bars in this locality
have any mussels this year, and those
who depend upon this industry for
their livelihood look forward TO a most
prosperous season.
The first cargo of oysters to reach
Baltimore were those of Captain
Hartge, of this county, of the Flor
ence and JULIA, which had on l6O
bushels of West River plants. The
consignment. however, was in excel
lent condition, and were readily sold
at 80 cents a bushel. To Capt. Bert
Hartge belongs the distinction of beng
the first in port with the shellfish.
which, according to the talk around
the wharf, is good sign for his pros
perity during the remainder for the
season.
Captain Hartge found very &C tive
demand and regretted that he had not
laded his vessel. He reports that he
had strenuous trip from West River,
where he left at 4 o'clock Thursday
afternoon during a stiff northeaster.
Several other vessels, he stated. were
in his wake, but on rounding Sandy
Point their masters concluded to seek
harbor rather than brave the ele-
ments in reaching the market
AS an indication of the rough trip
the jib of the Florence and Julia
was badly torn, and although Cap
tain Hartge was anxious to return
for another cargo, he concluded to
make repairs before venturing again
into the Bay. According to Captain
Hartge, oysters on the Western Shore
look better this year than ever before
They are entirely free from mussels,
and the meats are fair for so early il
the season. What is now needed, he
said, was a little cool weather t
clear the water and the oysters would
then fatten quickly for the market

The Because Man.

Suppose everyone did just what he
intended to do and no one failed 'be.
cause" Then there would be no fail.
ures to point out. There would be no
subjects for sermons for those who
had no because" attached to their
names. The man without the title
could not point to the because" man
and say: He did not succeed be.
cause" So the because man may
take heart and feel that because he
did not he is surely at last the SUBJ
ject Of this sketch. True he did not
scale the rugged wall, nor climb to
heights unseen" by the masses who
are also other because" men.
Most of us are because" men. we
yearn for the unattainable; we feel
that life is failure. But maybe the
realities are dreams Of callow youth
did not come nearer the dreams than
we think Maybe the awakening will
show that the because" men climbed
higher than they thought and maybe
the Judge will show those who stood
on the heights that the clouds are
well worth striving for but In the
depths there is some sunlight" But
the man should never have because"
as an excuse.

Photograph Burned Manuscript.

The processes of color photography
have recently been applied to obtain
legible photograph OF the writing

WHAT ENGLAND FEARS
STARVATION RATHER THAN IN
VAslON is ITS DANGER.
In Case of War the islanders Food
Supply Might Be Exhausted In
Few Months.

With ships bringing foreign food
supplies into England at the rate OF
G434 worth every minute OF every
day in the year, Great Britain cannot
accumulate a stock of provisions large
enough for a years supply, some ex-
perts say not enough for half year
Others doubt If we could hold out
for three months without foreign sup
plies" says the Queen, "and all agree
that three weeks war, or even threat
Of war, would enormously increase
the price of foodstuffs. In the or.
dinary way the proportion of food
and drink brought over the sea is
over ~ per cent Of our total imports,
being in round figures G250,000.OOO
out OF a total of G 500, 100000. OF this
sum G7O,00OOO0 goes for grain and
flour alone, and nearly fifty millions
for food and drink not otherwise speci
fed, and excluding fifty millions for
food, drink and tobacco subject to
duty
What we as nation have to fear
is not invasion but starvation. To the
great mass of the people of this coun'
try the question is not Shall we win
or lose In war? but, shall we have
enough food to live on when the next
big war comes?' 1t is to meet such
an emergency that the use In this
country of silos for grain, or national
granaries, has been advocated.
"The cost OF creating and maintain.
ing silos might be considerable
though we suppose the cost of single
dreadnought would easily cover 1t;
but as an insurance against panic 1t
would well be worth the expense,
while as a safeguard in time of war
and against imminent famine 1t would
be invaluable, and might easily turn
defeat into victory and disaster to
safety.
Gibraltar is provisioned for two
years and Malta has silos which keep
corn good for as long as four years,
thus supporting the truth Of the Bib
lical statement that Joseph In the dry
climate of Egypt fed the people with
corn stored for seven years. The idea
is the gradual collection Of an amount
of wheat equal to one years import
and It's automatic renewal by exchang
ing it for the new grain as 1t arrives
at the different ports"

w. c. T. u. Notes.

The w. C. T. u. invites all
members of the Christian COM
munity to attend prayer meet
ing next Sunday afternoon
at 3 O'Clock at the M. E. church,
to pray for victory in the Maine
election, which will take place on
Monday. Sept. 11th. In case
liquordom should win, then a
mighty effort will be made to
overthrow prohibition in the
seven other states, which are
Kansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota,
Georgia, Tennessee, North Caro-
lima and Mississippi. Our church
es, our business, our education,
all our civilization would be set
back. Victory in Maine largely
means victory in the nation,
so that this is our affair. 1t is
especially the business of the
church; because God demands of
his people that this enemy of san
ity, decency, business righteous
ness and of souls be destroyed.

Tramp, tramp, the army of
school children is marching back
to the halls of learning. Some
mothers will shead tears as the
little one goes out to be controlled
by another and something of the
closeness of mother and child
seems broken. But growth is the
order Of life and the return of
school days is a joyous occasion,
and if you haven't a little shaver
to send you wish you had. 1t is
the time to welcome back the
teacher from the mountain, the
plain and the seashore. The
summer has been memorable for
the meeting of the National Edu-
cational Association. San Fran
cisco was to have entertained the
great army of teachers in the
year of'06, when mother nature
so shook the city up and down
that a new San Francisco had to
rise upon the ruins of the old be-
fore she could so bountifully en-
tertain the ten thousand guests
who came to this great meeting.
Parents will be glad to know that
the keynote of the convention
was: The end of education,
character building.
We would like to have been in
the Greek Theater of the Univer-
sity of California, Berkley, when
DR.. Davie Starr Jordan gave his
brilliant address upon scientific
temperance instruction. He said
in part: Success is conditioned
upon accuracy. Alcohol is a
deceiver. The man with his head
in an ash barrel on Market street
thinks that he feels good, but
any dog who sees him knows
| better. Alcohol and all narcotic
drugs teach the nerve to lie. y
The evil in alchohol does not lie
in drunkenness for the man who
becomes drunk occasionally is
much better OIL than the man
that is half drunk all the time.
The Scotch peasant with his ter
rible sprees is not in so danger
GUS condition as the Italian
peasant who is half drunk all the
time. The danger comes when
a man cannot tell an icicle from
a hot iron because his nerves are
paralyzed." In regard to the
social aspect of the question, DR..
Jordan said: THE saloon is also
the open door to the Red Light
districts and the white slave traf-
fic. Through them are contracted
the three worst diseases known
to men and the prostitutes go
there only when under the inhu-
ence of liquor. These districts
must de destroyed or the nation
will be destroyed. If this nation
is to continue, they must be de-
stroyed. &C. w. G.
