SHAD FISHING In DELAWARE

The shad fishing season is al
most at hand. From present indl-
cations there will be larger mum
Der of fishermen than usual on
hand at New Castle. Last year the
fishermen made from $500 to 800
for the season. and this years pros
pect is an even brighter one.
The shad fisherman who makes
the money is the one who on every
occasion. takes the tides, when the
weather or the condition of his net
will permit. Some OF the men
practically live in their boats, I'M
less driven ashore by bad weather
or the overhauline Of their nets.
They cook in their boat or have food
sent to them. The cost Of equip
ment aggregates 1925, without the
cost of the boat. The greater part
of the fishermen have craft that
are propelled by gasoline engines.
Nearly all the men have their
nets hung up and are practically
ready to get out on short notice.
, They hope to see the season open
about March IS. while some OF the
more knowing ones assert no Della
ware shad will be caught here be-
fore the early part of April, when
they will sell at the rate OF 81 tc
$3.50 for the prime or choice roe
fish.

A Good Record.

The executive officer of the Forest
Park Reservation Commission, H. B
Kumme1, has collected during the fiscal
year ending October 81, 1911, 81, 1T. 81, of
which s., OH. ID was paid as penalties by
vio1stors of the forest fire law. Of the
latter amount 81, 866.93 was turned over to
the treasurers of townships in which
forest fires occurred. The State forestry
laws are thus working in a way to punish
those who set fires in the forest and at
the same time to relieve local treasures
of large part of the expense of putting
out such fires.
This is very practical answer to the
oft made charge that law intended to
restrict the setting of forest fires cannot
be enforced. That New jerseys law is
enforced is clearly proven by the above
figures, and by the further statement that
in no less than in asa cases during the
past year individuals or corporations,
chiefly railroads, were penalized for caus-
ing forest fires.
The organization by which these results
are accomplished under the Forest Com
mission consists of a State Firewarden
with four assistant or division, hrewar-
dens each of whom is in immediate charge
of section of the State, and of proper
ton of the 23o local firewardens who issue
brush burning permits, look out for forest
fires, and call out men to fight them when
necessary. The total not cost of the fire
service to the townships is less than
5000 year while the State spent last
year $4,000, and is prepared to spend
during the current year $4,000 if so much
shall be necessary. 1t looks like a good
plan for the State to carry the greater
part of the cost while each community
bears enough to give it vital interest in
maintaining an efficient service.

Theatres.
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.

CHESTNUT 1dEAIkE.
For the week commencing January 8,
the management of the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, will present Henry
Dixey's great success, 'Mary James Pa. +"
This play was written by Edith Ellis
Baker, as starring medium for the talented
actor, Henry E. Dixey, SO well known to
all American theatre goers. tits, without
exception, one of the best plays ever put
on the stage, carrying with it an element
of comedy and romance subsidiary to the
main plot seldom equalled in any play.
The story of MARY James Pa" includes
an easy-going, dissolute son OF humble
parents, who suddenly develops into the
talented member of the family. He
marries a girl because "she reads books
and understands them" but after a brief
experience of life he deserts his family, a
wife and two daughters, one of them Mary
Jane. The widow tries hard to get along
but finally sells her printing business and
goes to another town where she again
starts business under the name of Per
kins, the printer" becoming the proprie-
tor of an influential newspaper, which
takes part in an interesting political fight
Getting into financial straits she is forced
to give notes for needed money and the
notes are purchased by one of the candi-
dates who uses them as club to compel
her to withdraw her support from his OPP
ponent. She is about to take steps to be-
come the latter's wife when the first hus-
band appears on the scene, after she had
given him him up for dead. He agrees
to be the servant in the house and she
pays him wages Then there comes poll
teal complications in which the wife dis
covers rasca1ity on the part OF the fellow
who holds her notes, and threatens to
publish the transaction, refusing to be
bribed or bulldozed. The foreman of the
office, however, succumbs to the influence
of money and destroys the forms, but the
husband finds an old press, resets the
type and sends it out on the streets in
time to defeat the man who had made all
the trouble. The latter is so enraged at
what happened that he led mob with
the idea of tarring and feathering the
supposed servant, when the latter reveals
his identity and puts the tarring expedi-
ton to flight The family is reunited, the
father discloses that he has made lot OF
money writing a book and everything
ends happily. William Ingerson will
take the part which Henry E. Dixey
made such a success ard those who know
the ability of Ingersoll can readily i'm
agine that the character of Hiram Perkins
will be kept up to the standard set by the
other actor.
