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.

Rabbit Season Opens.
The rabbit season opened Tues
day to continue until December 1st.
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.

Five Thousand at a Barbecue.
Democrat Rout an Ox, and Crtaiy "Roast"
Sheatz.
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. I was
induced to try Dr., David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy. The first
bottle drove the eruption away and
I feel better every way. It is a
splendid blood medicine. Henry

For You Only
Read this announcement. It is your opportunity.
If you don't read it you will miss your chance. The
greatest magazines in this country have combined to be
offered together at a greatly reduced rate. Never before
was such an offer given to the public, and it is safe to
say never will be made again. This year several maga
zines have increased their subscription price, which
shows how much greater this offer really is. The only
reason we are making it to the people of this vicinity is
because the magazine finds they have not as many sub
scribers as they desire in this particular locality. But
only a limited number will be sold at this price, there
fore we advise every one to accept this offer without
delay. When we have received a certain number we
shall withdraw the offer.
