Double Barreled Shot Gun Doomed ? Commenting on one of the pro visions of the new game laws, the Greensburg Daily Tribune says "Hunters are greatly puzzled in endeavoring to interpret the Blue stone law, passed at the last ses sion of the legislature. This law prohibits the use of the automatic gun, imposing a penalty of $50 fine and a jail sentence of fifty days for the first offense. The question is "What constitutes an automatic gun?" The word automatic is de rived from the word automaton, which means a ma.'hine moved by interior machinery, which imitates action of men or animals. This would include nil repeating rifles and revolvers, but would it include the double barreled shot gun ? Several lawyers in the State have been heard to express their opinion on the subject and in all instances were of the opinion that the double barrel shotgun must go, according to the Bluestone law.

There are no douht more highly prized varieties of game those which call forth greater skill on the part of the sportsman, but it is the r.ibbit which brings out the great est number of hunters. Even in seasons when the scarcest, rabbits are pretty evenly distributed and there is not a field, tract of wood land or clump of bushes that may not be reasonably expected to yield a cottontail to the persevering hunter. Rabbits are reported as very plentiful this year. The report, however, as in the case of wood cock and some other game, may prove to be unfounded. This is a question, however, that each hun ter likes to decide for himself, by actu d experiment. There are a few points about the law relating to rabl its that are worth remembering. It is unlaw ful to have in possession the dead body of a rabbit or a hare taken in this Commonwealth except during the open season, between the fifteenth-day of October mid the fir-t day of December and for a period of fifteen days thereafter, unless the same shall have been kil'cd by land owners to whom they are do ing damage. Rabbits may b-j taken or killed in this Commonwealth in any manner during the open sea son except through or with the aid of a ferret. The number that may be shot is unlimited. There is a penalty of ten dollars for violating the provisions of this section. . . . . . Double Tracking Sunbury Division. The Sunbury Daily has given the following information about the much exploited, but as yet not ac complished, double tracking of the Sunbury division: The Pennsylvania railroad has definitely decided to double track the Sunbury division for its entire length and now has the work well under way. For some time past large gangs of laborers have been widening the roadbed in the vicini ty of Nescopeck, and now a consid erable portion of the track has been laid. The work will be pushed southward all the way to Sunbury and it will not be many months be fore it will reach here. At some points serious difficul ties must be overcome. For miles the line skirts the base of deep and rugged mountains and the engi neers in charge are confronted with the proposition of either blasting away the rock or else making heavy fills in the river bed for long dis tances. The traffic on the Sunbury divis ion is probably as great as that on any other single track road in the Pennsylvania system. And it is generally admitted that any man who can satisfactorily handle the business on this road can well fill the same position on any other di vision. For many years the local officials have asked the directors to double track the line, but it was not until the past summer that their wishes were granted. Nuptial Serenades Are Riots, Says Judge BelL Wedding serenades may soon be a thing of the past. Judge Martin Bell, in the Blair County Court, has pronounced them "a species of not, and says they ought to be suppressed. He even grants per sons so annoyed the right of sup pressing them. This edict against common cus tom of treating newly-married cou ples was announced in the Judge's charge to the jury in the case of James Fasic, of Altoona, who was charged with aggravated assault and battery. Fasic's sister was to be married, and a crowd of cah- thumpians gathered in front of the house, and made such a racket that the ceremony of tying the nuptial knot had to be postponed for two hours. Meantime the family telephoned for the police, but no officer appear ed. Finally, in desperation, Fasic went out to disperse the mob, and when George Smith refused to go, Fasic punched him in the face, breaking his nose. "This serenading business is a bad custom," said Judge Bell to the jury. "It is a species of not. The householder has a right to use due, force to clear his premises from serenaders. Even spectators at such affairs are as guilty as those who make the noise." Fasic was acquitted on the strength of his Honor's remarks.

Nearly 500c people attended an old-fashioned barbecue at the year ly meeting of the Democratic Coun ty Committee of Northampton county at the fair grounds at Naz areth, last Saturday. It was per haps the first ox roast held in that vicinity in the last quarter ol a cen tury, and the revival of this once popular method of out-door feast- i ing was a gieat success. All roads in the county led to this historic Moiavian town. Hundreds came. by special trolley car and hundreds more in vehicles of ull descriptions. The largest gathering of farmers in jears was present, tue attraction being "Farmer" W. T. Creasy, who was the principal speaker at the meeting. Mr. Creasy, in his first speech of the campaign, was unsparing in criticism of the Republican State machine and of John O Sheatz, the Republicm nominee for State Treas- 1 urer. He said the machine desired I a Treasurer who would demand and collect fundi from the common peo I pie while the corporations paid lit- It.L- Till M f-mitilirvm mrirhllliv Mr. ; Creasy declared, always nominated j lor Treasurer a man it could de pend upon. "No man in the la.it Legislature was readier to please 'Jim' McNichol and 'Iz' Durham than Sheatz.," said Mr. Creasy, who added that Sheatz lacked the liackbone needed for the position, and that he serves a boss. When the bos was out with the machine, Creasy declared, Sheatz was against it, and when the boss was with the machine Sheatz was with it. "If Sheatz is elected," asserted Mr. Creasy, "the Capitol grafters will go scot free, the same as Sam Salter did in Philadelphia." In closing, the speaker blamed Sheatz for the Governor's veto of the pen sion bill, declaring that Sheatz went to Penrose, who referred him to General Mtilholland, and the latter prepared padded figures to fool the Governor. After the speechmakingcatue the ox roast. - The ox weighed 2040 pounds. The roasting took place on the fair grounds in view of the thousands of visitors. Fifty butch ers in full regalia were utilized in carving the beef. Generous slices on pointed sticks of wood were handed to the crowds, with other lunch accessories. The Jamestown Exposition As It Is, So much has been written in be littlement of the Jamestown expo sition that the majority of Ameri cans have been inclined to regard the enterprise as a failure. That it is, however, both an attractive and a successful affair is shown in Har riet Quimby's article, and an ac companying page of illustrations in the current issue of Leslie s Weekly, Miss Quimby's statements are the result of personal observation, and she relates the facts without bias The number contains many inter esting pictorial features. Note worthy among them are Sigurd Schou's cover drawing representing an exciting chase after a wild steer in the streets of New York: exten or and interior views of New York's new $6,000,000 custom-house; a page of foreign pictures; theatrical portraits and scenes; the photo con tests; panoramic views of the naval academy at Annapolis and of Bat' tery Park, New York, and photO' graphs relating to the anti-Oriental riots in Britisn Columbia and the State of Washington. Charles M Harvey contributes a strong article on New York's pre-eminence as a seaport; Frances van Etten writes entertainingly of deer hunting in the Adirondacks, and Harriet Quimby supplies chatty comments on things theatrical. I he sayings of notable men and topics and pic tures of fifty years ago are up to the high mark of interest. "Ros- coe" deals with the copper situa tion, and gives valuable hints to those who seek to make money in mining. "Jasper" discusses popu lar hallucinations which have mili tated against prosperity and shrewd ly advises his readers who would court fortune in the stock market. Dr. David Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y. Dbar Sir : Some time since I was troubled with blotches coming out on my breast, of a scrofulous character, and my general system seemed to be out of order.
