lney nave peen legally changed Is
AFFORDED by Lemoyne. Lemoyne is
| comparatively new municipality. 1t
was made a borough some years ago.
1t used to be known as Riverton,
but there are lot of other River ~,
tons and the name was changed to
the less-widely used Lemoyne. But
there were some industries and wa
ter and other companies which kept
the old name and in some sections,
which ought to be better informed,
the old name was never stricken off.
me result was that both Riverton
and Lemoyne figured on the lists of
the county. Now If it had only been
in a matter of coal allotment IL
would have been fine, but was more
in the listing line and the fact that
| Riverton is officially known as Le-
moyne is probably now known In
some quarters. Harrisburg people
still talk of East End and Riverside,
although they are safely inside of
the municipal arms and we continue
to refer to districts which had local
names long after they were built-up
parts OF this city.
Where state 3ame seasons are
within the limits prescribed in fed
eral game regulations the laws of
| the Commonwealth will govern, ac-
the State Game Commission. The
federal government has taken to
regulating killing of various birds
which have hitherto been wholly
within control of the states and some
of the -sportsmen have been writing
here for information on the subject.
The three classes on which the fed
eral government has legislated are
snipe, ducks and woodcock. The
| hoc ,to %
it's. In the case of wild ducks the
state makes no limit, but Uncle Sam
has set twenty-five and limiting
geese and brant to eight each. The
state limit on woodcock is ten and
the United States limit is six. The
United States allows woodcock to be
shot from October /, but the state
season runs from October 20 to No
lvember 80. Just what will happen
If a man hunts woodcock before the
twentieth of next month and a state
game protector catches him will not
be hard to figure out. On the other
hand, the state authorities are not
worrying about violations of federal
laws, especially on reedbirds. The
chances are that there will be some
questions raised during the coming
legislative season as to the right of
the United States to regulate game
in the state. Some men are not in
clined to let the propositions :n-
volved in restrictions on migratory
birds go without some rulings. Plover
and reed birds which are expressly
made legal game in the state laws
are forbidden to be shot by the
United States government and not
as war measure, either.
Before her trunk was unpacked,
Mrs. w. H. Franklin, 1900 State
street, wife of Lieutenant w. H.
Franklin, who has been at the Marsh
Run government operations, volun-
teered her service to the Harrisburg
Chapter of the American Red Cross
in any possible capacity. 1t is now
a common sight to see Mrs. Frank
lin enact the role of stenographer
organization. This is an exempljA
fication of the western spirit" comx
mented officials when they saw the
lady from Spokane don Red Cross
attire and get to work.
The campaign for clothing to be
given, the Belgians recalls the letter
received from q prominent Belgian
by President Wilson shortly after
the campaign waged last year. The
President had contributed a guam
tity of clothing to the cause and the
Belgian was extravagant in his
praise and thanks. 1t so happened
that the Belgian, whose name was
not made public for obvious reasons,
was former ambassador to the
United States.
George Hensel, the sage of Quar-
ryVille, writing in the Philadelphia
North American says, with the
passing of ]. Donald Cameron the
glories of Donegal fade, for there
is no one to succeed him. This gen.
Grafton scarcely remembers Simon,
the elder Cameron, and indeed j.
Donald has been living a quiet life.
| but with some of the older folks
the memories of Donegal will con-
tinue to linger. 1t was the mecca
for many of Americas greatest men,
and around the famous spring, near
the historical Donegal church, states
men of all parties gathered 'Tis
said a quorum of the United States
Senate has been counted there on
more than one occasion. Cameron
numbered among his warm friends
bitter political enemies and no one
found a warmer welcome at Done
gal than Senator Vest, of Missouri,
whose fame partly rests on his trib-
ute to the dog, and Senator M. c.
Butler, who, with Wade Hampton,
for years before the advent of Pitch
fork Tillman, literally ruled South
Carolina. No two Pennsylvania lives
were more interesting than those of
Simon Cameron, the father, and j.
| Donald Cameron, his son, but, alas,
there is no one of this generation to
write the story and make a master
job of it,
| Lieutenant Governor Frank B. Nc
Claim, who presided at the meeting
of the State Board of Pardons here
| this week, made some pretty yigor-
| Gus expressions of his opinions in re-
gard to the foreign element which
| furnishes so many of the cases for
the Commonwealth clemency tri-
bunal. "The time has come when
the people of this state must be pro-
tected from lawlessness by foreign
| ers. They must be made to under
stand that and I am not in favor
of granting pardons to that kind
upon sentimental pleas" he said.
