SELFISH APPEALS TO THE LEGISLATURE.

aggregate it makes a large amount, necessary for the preservation
Of game in the State and for restocking purposes. The demand for
the repeal of the tax is inspired by parsimonious rural sentiment and
BY the pothunters. The latter back up the demand for the privilege
of using dogs to destroy the States herds of deer. These narrowly

contempt they deserve, and it will be surprising indeed if they are

Complains of street Car Service.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t Is admitted by every intelligent
person that the street car company
does just about as 1t likes with the
city. Despite the fact that the officials
of the company make all sorts of
promises to the members of the Board
of Works at conferences, the promises
are disregarded and no effort made to
keep them. Are the laws of the city
so poorly constructed that the Public
Service cannot be punished for violat-
ing the city ordinances? The manner
in which the passenger Is treated on

The report that Captain William Van
Schaick, of the Inflated Slocum, which
was burned off North Brothers Island
with terrible loss of life in 1904, is to be
paroled, will be welcomed everywhere.
Captain Schaick married Just before
he began to serve his ten-year sentence,
and it is the bride he has to thank for
his release.
The American public was demanding
a victim in its well-known way, when
Captain Schaick was tried, but 1t was
generally felt when he was convicted
that he had been made a scapegoat.
1t was believed that tho officials guilty
of criminal neglect were men higher up.
No end of clamor was stirred up when
the Slocum's captain was led away to
prison, but 1t awaited him nothing, and
but for the energy and devotion of his
wife 1t is probable he would have
served the full ten years of his SEN
tence.

To Disperse Wrinkles
 In a Half Minute
(Frem Feminine world)

Many women in making their toilet for the theatre, dance or any social affair, bathe the face and hands in an astringent lotion having an inmedi- ate rejuvenating effect. An ounce of powdered saxolite dissolved in a half pint of witch hazel, makes an ideal preparation for this purpose It is wonderfully effective in promptly dis persing wrinkles and creases as well as bagginess of cheeks or chin. En- Iarged pores are reduced, the skin ap- pears softer and finer -textured, and one seems to have suddenly lost sev- eral years from her age.
 The results being so remarkable and coming so quickly. and the ingredi- ents being obtainable at any drug store, this is a good formula to re- member. The solution is entirely harmless.
