Good Exhibition of Base
Ball Given Yesterday
Afternoon at the Tigers
Park.
The annual visit of the Cuban X
Giants to town is sure to be greeted by
a large audience. Yesterday was no
exception to the rule, when several
hundred people turned out to see these
clever players. The Tigers, not having
a pitcher, tbo manager loaned his best
man, I)an McClellan, who pitched a
good game.
The contest was very interesting from
the start, and, with the exception of tho
errors made by a few of the Tigers in
the first inning, good ball was played
by both teams.
Tho Tigers outfield was much com
mented on, while Friel, McClellan,
Ferry and Cannon played fine ball.

NEW FISH LAW.
Radical CliangcH Made In the Statute
Relating to Dame Flub.
Last week Governor Stone signed a
bill passed by the legislature which
makes radical changes In the fish law of
the state. The act became effective at
once, and its provisions are so stringent
that all persons who fish will do well to
acquaint themselves with tho more im
portant sections of this law, else they
may unknowingly violate the act and be
arrested and heavily fined.
The new law is the result of several
years labor on tho part of Pennsylvania
fishermen, or rather of those who desire
to see the game fish of tho state fully
protected. The members of the Free
land Game and Fish Protective Associa
tion are very much pleased with the
law, as they have had incorporated into
the act many of tho suggestions they
made to the State Fish Commission. •
Tho act signed by the governor last
week is a lengthy document, treating
the subject in all Its details. The Tri
bune gives below, in brief, tlie more im
portant sections of the bill:
Fish are divided into two classes,
game and food. The former class in
cludes all species of trout, salmon, bass,
pike, sunflsh, pickerel, perch, etc.; those
may be caught only with rod, hook and
line or handline not having more than
three hooks. Fine, $25.
The open seasons are as follows:
Brook trout, April 15 to July 31; lake
trout, January 1 to September 1; sun fish,
pike, pickerel, perch, salmon, and all
species of bass except striped, June 15
to February 15; striped bass, rock fish,
shad and herring, with rod and hook at
any time. Fine, $lO for each fish.
Must not catch white, rock or straw
berry bass less than five inches; brook
trout, less than six inches: black bass,
seven inches; lako trout, striped bass,
pike, pickerel, salmon, nine inches.
Fine, $lO for each fish.
It is unlawful to catch more than fifty
brook trout in any one day. A fine of
$lO per fish over that number is provided.
The use of nets, seinos and the like is
carefully provided for, and lines ranging
from $lO to SIOO and imprisonment arc
placed in tho law for violations.
Fish caught out of season or unlaw
fully mijst be returned unharmed to the
water. Fine, $lO for eacli fish.
It is unlawful to purchase, sell or offer
for sale any dead game or food fish, ex
cept during the open season and six days
thereafter. Fine, $lO for each fish.
Explosives are strictly prohibited from
use in fishing: nor can they bo used in
any waters of the state for any but en
gineering purposes, and then only with
written permission from tho authorities.
Fine, SIOO and six months imprisonment.
For planting German carp or using
tliis fish for bait, SIOO fine.
The Fish Commission, after stocking
a stream, may close the same fur threo
years. Catching fish in such stream
costs $lO per fish.
Possession of fishes out of season, or
illegal size, or illegal nets, is considered
prima facie evidence of guilt.
Arrests for violation of tho law may
bo made at any time within one year
after.
One-half of all fines paid by persons
arrested and found guilty shall go to the
Informer.
The new law provides a more efficient
system of enforcement than was furnish
ed by the act It succeeds. The prosent
Fish Commissioners are retained, and
they are authorized to appoint and fix
tho salaries of twelve wardens, the chief
warden to reside in Ilarrisburg. The
wardens will bo distributed throughout
tho state, each being assigned to a clear
ly defined district. Tho real value of
tho law as a protection to the game and
food fish of the state will be determined
by tho efficiency and activity of these
wardens.
The chief dofoct of the old law was
that people in all parts of tho state vio
lated Its provisions with very littlo
danger'of being detected, and still less
of being punished If caught in the act.
"Tho Doctors told me my cough was
incurable. One Minute Cough Cure mad
me a well man." Norrls Silver, North
Stratford, N. H.—Because you've not
found relief from a stubborn cough, don't
despair. One Minute Cough Cure has
cured thousands and it will cure you.
Safe and sure. Grover's City drug storo.
A request for a nine-hour day was
presented this morning to tho Drifton
company by several of the employes of
the shops. The men feel that they
should receive as' good treatment as Is
given employes of similar shops through
out the country. Nearly all tho large
manufacturing plants have granted
their men nine hours a day with no re
duction iu pay.
The bilious, tired, nervous man can
not successfully compete with his
healthy rival. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers, tho famous pills for constipation,
will remove the cause of your troubles.
