Sea gulls, now protected from gunners by Jersey laws, may soon offer a target for the sportsmen, as the result of agitation' that has been stirred up along the the Jersey coast between Cape May and Bay Head. 1 A hllt-ta now. being framed by Harry WSotton, of the Atlantic Oountv Hook and Line Fishermen's Association, ask- 1 ing the legislature during the current session to pepe&l the law which for six | ' years has maintained s closed season . for the gulls. I < Since the enactment of this art the f gulls hare multiplied, until there areJ-' millions of them skimming around rite ) ' hays and the ocean; and they have pe- ' i ftlre— — . ,

oome so tame that they will dart to the decks of the fishing smacks and steal ■ fish while the crews are busy nearby. Because of the closed season the fisber- ' men are powerless to shoot them. s TVs is only one of the nuisances < . charged np to the gulls, which got legal * protection because they were considered j scavengers and useful clearing away refuse from traveled waters. It is claimed 1 that they are ruining the soft-shell crab f business, destroying a million or more t of these much -sought crustaceans each year. ~ '' Pleasure resorts have still another crime to charge against the gulls. It is claimed that the birds employ the boardwalks to break open shellfish they hsve beaked. They have often been observed carrying the dams from the beach, flying about fifty feet in the air t over the wooden deckings and then-drop- . ping the sheU fish from their talons to the planks below in order to smash the s shells so that they can get at the food j , inside. In every resort where there is a boardwalk along the ocean front this . nuisance has become common, and each ■ . moraing sees some sections of the I planked way strewn with shells that i develop a strong odor before: they can i be removed.— Camden Post Telegram. Dwellers at the seashore will he sur- ] ■ prised at the above information. There are lot* of gulls at Cape May but who f ever saw them catch any soft-shelled crabs? How could they do it? Who ' ever saw them break their dams by ' dropping them on the boardwalk or , ' wharves Suppose they did do this, I would they be brave enough to come after the broken clams? Gulls do not > fish or dig at night as seems to be intimated but if they did they would not venture near the people who frequent the boardwalk at all resorts during both ' dav and night. i Gulls fish along the beach all the , [ year round and they sometimes dig up < from the sand, sea clams, bat. go | through no gymnastic exercises with l i them. A drop of ten feet on the beach | would break the shdl, but"* strong | poke wj^h the beak does the trick just i as well. When gulls are fishing and < feeding -along shore, no man, woman or ( child, whether peacefully, or hostilely | inclined, ever gets within a hundred i yards of them, therefore, the tale about ( their going to the deck of a boat for i fish will not do. There is a colored gem- < men in this woodpile. Some commercial i profit is to be sought and the protec- c tive laws are to be repealed, if possible, i to allow the market gunner to slaughter them for plumage or something else. ] There is no other good reason. The gulls are as harmless as anything in the world and interfere with no jnan and ( no thing. The protection of the law should be continued. Make it an open season for . gunning pirate menhaden fishing steam- i i-ets. if something must be done and the < coast will have an opportunity for some ( fine artillery practice, also there would

soon be enough fish for everybody, the gulls, included. Hw easy ijj is to say millions! Now suppose there were one million gulls along the whole coast of New Jersey, hundred and fifty miles, let us say, for argument's sake, and suppose we agree that from the point of the Cape to Sewell'e Point there is seven and a miles. This - would make our stretch of coast" one-twentieth of the whole and it would be neoessary to have gulls here to make the mltlttoi on the coast of New Jersey. This would make 6,667 to every mile. As a matteof fact there is not one hundred to the mile, probably the same proportion eleswhere. One hundred to the mile would make fifteen thousand on the who'e coast, as a commercial proposition n»t forth bothering aboutN. BARESDALE OF PENNA R. R. DIES. Advertising Agent Passes Away at the Continental Hotel at the Age of Sixty. Francis Nelson Barksdale, advertising agent of .the Pennsylvania Railroad, in whose service he had been since 1883, died this morning at the Continental Hotel, at the age of sixty.

Mr. Barksdale, who, to his legion of friends, was always "OolOnel," a title ' of affection 'which had been bestowed upi on him, had been ill for weeks with a , complication of diseases. A widow and , a daughter survive him. Mr. Barksdale was born March 19, r 1855, at Charlottesville, Va. His family 1 was a promient one in the South. His uncle Brigadier -General William Barks- ; dale, of Mississippi, was one of the Oon- ! federate generals killed in the second 1 day's fight at Gettysburg. | Practically his whole early life was spent in and about the Great Valley of 1 Virginia. His education was received in private schools, and at the University f of Virginia in his native totrn. After being graduated from the -University, he " taught school for a while and persued studies in law. He was admitted to the bar of Albermarle County, Va., in 1878. In 1879 he became the proprietor and • editor of the '"Jeffersonian ' Republican," a weekly newspaper, founded by Thos. , ; Jefferson, and published at Charlottes- i ville. Mr. Barksdale continued its pub- | lication along Jeffersonian lines for I about four years. In Mar., 1883, he came to Philadelphia ^ ' and en tor Aw the service of the Pennsyl- j vania Railroad. He was assigned to duty in the advertising department of R the railroad and his entire lifetime of service with the company has been spent 6 in the development of its publicity and » genera' advertising. Mr. Barksdle was placed at the head of the advertising department in the spring of 1890. In the twenty-five years . since that date as the advertising as- I sistant of George W. Boyd passenger I traffic manager he has developed the science of railroad advertising to such a degree that the Pennsylvania's methods have stood for the best in transportation publicity. Mr. Barksdale was the first to bring railroad advertising up from the mere publication of its time cards from day to day in the newspapers to the point where varied and forceful presentments of the advantage of modern railway service were creators of travel as well as subjects of comment for literary excellence. He was in charge of the famous run of the "John Bull Train" from New York to Chicago at the timo of the Columbian Exposition in 1893 and was conspicuous in the arranging of the first •Presidential Tours"— those of Presidents Harrison and McKinley. He was also personally in charge of the itinerary for the American tour of Prince Henry of Prussia during his visit in 1902. He personally planned all the adverrising in connection with the opening of - Pennsylvania Station New York and various campaigns during the past quarter of a century which have made Atlantic City, Cape, May and other seashore resorts noted. His easy personality and Cultured address made him a- well-known figure in the railroad world, and anfongst newspaper men Mr. Barksdale was a wellloved companion. Allen's Foot-Ease for the Troops.
