HELPING CLEAN STREETS.

The effort of Mrs. Edith ". Pierce. re
Gently appointed an inspector of street.
to enlist the children as well as their
parents in the work of keeping clean our
streets should have the enthusiastic CO.
operation of all citizens.
The litter in the streets has been one
Of the reproaehes to Philadelphia. a re-
proach the more heavy because it is as
much the result of carelessness upon
the part Of the general public as it is of
inefticiency upon the part of municipal
officials. Such litter is not only un-
sightly-it spreads disease.
1t is a reproach the lifting of which
rests mostly with the individual. Let a
man practice the same care in the street
that he does in his own house in the
matter Of throwing away paper and
discarded tobacco and all other manner
Of refuse, and prevail upon his children
to do their share, and a wonderful i'm
provement is sure to follow.
Any great city can take care of the
inevitable accumulations Of litter. The
thoughtlessness of the general public
adds enormously to the burden of keep
ing a city clean and thoughtlessness costs
nothing to overcome while it greatly in
,reases the expense of administration.

FIRST DELAWARE REGIMENT
HOLDS ITS ANNUAL REUNION

Recalling the days when as they left
Hare's Corner in response to orders tc
go into service in the Civil War, forty
surviving veterans of the First Delaware
Regiment gathered around the "camu
fire" in the New Century Club at Smyrna
and swapped war time yarns last Satur-
day afternoon.
This followed an interesting fifteen
minutes address by Governor Charles R.
Miller, during which he referred in touch
ing manner to the thinning ranks of the
veterans and congratulated the surviving
comrades of the regiment upon their
having attained the fifty-second ami
versary of the departure from Hare's
Corner, after having so gallantly, fear
iessly and nobly fought for their coun-
try's union. The old heroes Of the First
Delaware formed the intimate acquain-
ance Of Govrnor Miller at the Gettysburg
reunion and his presence Saturday served |
to more strongly bind the tie of comrades |
ship between them. In appreciation the 1
veterans rendered him a reception in the /
Colonial Hotel.

1t was just fifty-two years ago that
as gallant a regiment of patriotic young
men as ever departed for the Civil War
shouldered arms at Hares Corner, took
cars to Newport and went by steamer to
Baltimore, Nd, and then to Norfolk.
Va. As their name indicates, this regi-
ment of brave men were among the first
10 inlist. and after their short terms ex-

MUST have LICENSES
TO HUNT FOR FOXES

IN answer TO letter written him ask
ing whether it was unlawful tn hunt
foxes at night. and also asking for Othel
information. John P LeFevre. Chief
Game and Fish Warden, has written a
gentleman here as follows:
Dear Sir
Your letter Of the 18th inst. at hand
and noted.
Enclosed is a marked copy Of the game
laws. On page IA you will find specified
The animals which it is lawful to hunt at
night. Il does not mention foxes, so it
is unlawful to hunt foxes at night.
A fox is a game animal under our laws,
and can be hunted from September lst
70 April Both, therefore a license is re-
CURED to hunt foxes. In fact, a license
ls required to do any kind of hunting.
However, if any one hunts at night and
makes such a noise as to disturb the
peace they could be arrested and pun
'shed as disturbers of the peace by order
Of any Of the justices of the peace. On
page 80 you will see that a farmer has
plenty Of law to prevent trespassing on
MS premises by hunters Of any descrip-
ton. If the dogs alone trespass on the
premises and you do not know whom
they belong to, / would suggest, if posi-
bic, pen them up or impound them just
IS you would horses, cattle or other ami
mails of unknown ownership that tres
pass on your land.
Signed Charles P. LeFevre.
Chief Game and Fish Warden.
The letter is published in order that
any persons who hunt the foxes and who
have not taken out license for so doing
may know that they are violating the
av, and that a license is required.

College Removal Not Likely.

The efforts put forth by Frederick
county people to have the Maryland Ag-
ricultural College move to Frederick coun-
ty has amounted to very little, and the
chances are that the College will remain
at its present location. Frederick city
industrial organizations have held meet
ings and appointed committees to confer
with Governor Goldsborough in regard to
moving the college, but we fear this will
amount to naught.
Plans have already been made by the
State for the erection of buildings to re-
place those burned at College Park, and
contractors are at work clearing the de-
bris of the burned buildings and prepar-
ing to erect new ones.
Ground has been broken for new
dining room 70 by 80; pantries, cold stor-
age room 80 by 80, and kitchen "a by 80
with steel bake oven annex has been in
stalled Plans have been drawn and a
site selected for building to be used as
an auditorium, chapel, muster and drill
hall. The contract calls for the compile
ton of the building before March LIST.
This building will be 1OOx3O feet with a
l4-foot ceiling. and will be provided with
all modern and sanitary conveniences.
If the college is ever moved it will be
by act of the Legislature, and with all
the above now buildings and equipment
this is not likely to be done for some
years to come.
