Blnensh Havoc Along the Carolina
Coast.

Norfolk (Va.) Telegram: lntelli-
gence received here from the fisheries
of Albemarle and Pamlico sounds, ana
their estuaries, gives US the startling
information that the fishermen all
through that section are greatly
alarmed and discouraged by the de-
yastation made upon the herring
schools by the myriads OF bluefish IN
testing the entrance to the 1nlets, par
ticularly near Nag's Head. Vessels
coming up the coast, when between
Cane Hatteras and Body Island, can
easily trace the course of the ravenous
blueiish by the tracks of blood from
the slaughtered herrings, streaming on
the surface of the sea for miles. Inc
bluefish feed on the herrings, anu
when their appetites are satlated tney
DESTROY them by the million, ana they
are washed upon the beach with every
tide. In consequence of this destruc-
ton. the seines have done very poorly
this season, and the fishermen despair
altogether of a profitable yield: Inc
Carolina shad and herring fisheries are
the most extensive in the country, anu
the depredations Of the bllieiisn VII,
inflict a most serious pecuniary loss, ~
the outlay for increased facilities was
much larger this year than usuai,
Such immense shoals of bluehsh on
the coast were never known before o,
this period Of the year, and the oldes.
fishermen say they never knew the
herrinp-catchers to be interrupted III
like manner.

his life. The other was for many years
master of greater wealth than any
other American held so long. Mr.. As
tors colossal fortune was possibly ex-
ccoded during the past few years by
the greater gains of Commodore Van
derbilt and A. L. Stewart, but there is
pcrmanence in the Astor estate, con-
sisting SO largely of real estate in New
York City, that no other or more tluctu-
ating property could rival. For this
very reason possibly MIR. Astor's death
will make less sensation through the
country and in business circles than
that of many less wealthy capitalists.
The vast estates will remain with little
change and probably be administered
on the same wise, careful and just prin.
ciples which have governed their man.
agement through two generations. SO
large an estate, thus administered, cam
not fail to increase in value. The tenn
porary depreciation of New York real
estate makes it seem less, possibly, than
it is. With better times and the natural
real estate prices, VIM. B. Astors estate
cannot be much less than 500, 100000,
and may exceed that sum. Such gains
during the lifetime of two men, are ex-
traordinary illustrations of what may
be accomplished in this country by econ

Death Of William Is. AstOr.

ing of the death Of William b. Astor
says:
One of the wealthiest--if not the
most wealthy-of American citizens,
died last week, Yet the current Of
business goes on with little apparent
interruption. William Il. Aston, eldest
son of the late John Jacob Aston, died
at his residence in New York, Nov.
Gath, aged SO years. While the coun-
try was enjoying its Thanksgiving hol-

following items from Kansas City,
which may perhaps be of interest to
the general reader:
Kansas City organized an Acade-
my of Science a day or two ago, and
now things will be conducted in a
scientific manner, where they have
hitherto been accomplished by main
strength and awkardncss.
Strangers stopping over III the
city to see the sights are shocked at
an exhibition which is seldom seen
in civilized communities. In OPEN
ing a street recently the cxcavators
passed through graveyard on a hill
near humble little church. The
person below on the road-bcd is
shocked by seeing protruding coffins
and ovcrhanging tombstones. The
city papers tell of some one stealing
the collins for fircwood and leaving
the human bones to public gaze.
The first house ever built in the
place was erected in 1914. The city
| now numbers $4,000 inhabitants.
The city is spreading east and
west over very uneven ground.
Some of the new streets are being
cut through hills thirty TO sixty feet
high from the road-bcd. In doing
this, old buildings arc left totcring
upon the top of a cliff, looking in
many cases as if they were just ready
to fall. In some places hills have
been cvclcd to fill up valleys. But
deep and impossible basins, gulies
and ravincs are everywhere to be
seen, in some Of which stagnant wa
ter remains the year round. 1t is

Thirteen persons were poisoned at
a Christmas Dinner in Baton Rogue,
by colored man and woman. They
were put in jail, but party of armed
men took them out and hanged the
woman, and what they did with the
man is not known.
There is a siX-foot Texan at Wash

prove successful, it will show dis

George +. Seward, the recently
nominated Minister to China, is a
nephew of the late William ii. Sew
ard, and was for som years Consular
General of the United States at
Shanghac. His nomination is gen
orally acknowledged to be very
appropriate one.
Congressman Page, of Oakland
District Cal, made very unlucky
hit when he introduced his third
term resolution in the House recent

was greeted with dcrisivc laughter
from both sides of the House. Wont
his constituency remember him with
