Fish Law Unconstitutional.
President Judge Schuyler, of North

havihg violated the law by fishing with
a di| net in the Bushkill creek, a trout
stream. Alderman Brunner, of Easton,

the cost of prosecution. An appeal was
taken from the judgment of tbo alder
man, and now Judge Schuyler has de
clared the law to bo unconstitutional.

THEATRICAL.
Tuneful harmony, beautiful women,
magnificent dresses, and a rich scenic
display in conjunction with tho best
talent, tho most active dancers, and tho
sweetest singers of tho stage, help to
complete the most finished performance
in the farce comedy line now enfoute.
These excellent attributes belong to the
production of Hoyt's "A Day and a
Night." The company roster includes
names familiar to every theatre-goer
and the responsibility of tho name of
Hoyt's is unquestioned.
t t t
Miss Agnes Burroughs, who plays
hero on Friday evening, is generally
acknowledged to be tho host exponent
of the part of Lady Isabel in "East
Lynne" since tho time of Lucille West
ern. Eminently fitted for the role, en
dowed with a charming personality and
stage presence, she won unstinted praise
from the press and public during her
tour of tho principal cities of the coun
try last season, as well as upon the oc
casion of her New York debut last
week.
X X t
George W. Larson and his companv
presented "A Hindoo Hoodoo" last
evening in as good manner as tbo play
would permit. Tho plot of the comedy
is not of tho style that makes a Free
land audience clamor for a return date,
and while neither the plot nor the
actors-can ho adversely criticised the
general opinion of those who saw last
night's performance is that a lot of
good energy is being wasted in trying to
make "A Hindoo Hoodoo" go.
