Carp in the Potomac Within few
months at least a dozen specimens of the
German carp, now being propagated at the
government fish ponds, have been caught in
the Potomac near Washington Yesterday
Mr.. George Raub caught fine carp at -Four
Mile Run. With the remarkable capacity
of living out of water, possessed by this fish,
it seemed to suffer no Inconvenience from be-
ing taken by hand to considerable dis
lance to Raub's house, and when placed in
water commenced swimming about as if
nothing had happened. To-day Mr. Raub
brought it to the city wrapped in damp
cloth, yet after its long journey out of water
itseemed to be as lively and vigorous as ever.
In fact, this fish can live and keep in excel
lent condition for months in mud that is
only moderately damp. 1t is easily propa-
gated and raised, and is an excellent food
fish. The indications are that the carp are
increasing rapidly in the Potomac and that
the river will soon swarm with them if they
can escape the perils of the seine and gill.

The Shipping Association.

AT a meeting of the members of the Maine
Legislature, representing the cities and towns
interested in navigation, holden on the 25th
ult., it was voted to obtain a charter at the
present session of the Legislature, for the Or
ganization of Maine Ship Masters and Ship
Owners Association. Pursuant to said vote, a
charter has been applied for, the corporators
of which comprise many of the leading ship
owners and ship masters of the State. Under
this charter an organization will be completed
at Augusta, on the 10Th, at the State House.
The object Of the association will be the pro-
lection of the rights of ship owners and ship
masters, and to promote the interests of nayi-
cation. One of the immediate points in view
will be the testing of the constitutionality of
the He'll Gate pilot laws which is an unjust
charge upon our coasting trade.
Arrangements have been made with Mr..
Payson Tucker, Superintendent of the Maine
Central, to sell half fare tickets on the line of
that road. This reduction in rates ought to
secure full attendance.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
ALL THE RAGE.

ALL IHE RAGE.
When this play was presented by Mr.. Hills
excellent company at old Portland Theatre
last June had occasion to speak of its
laughable qualities, albeit there is consider
able "slanginess'' in the text. To recoun-
these amusing incidents, which required four
acts and two hours and half of time to de-
velope, would require mole space than can be
commanded this morning, and, besides, would
take away the element of surprise, upon
which SO much of their humor depends. Suf-
fice it to say that the fun begins early, and in
creases momentarily, until it becomes up
roarious at the end. The company which
Manager Hill presents in this play is strong
and somewhat changed from that of last
season. Mr.. Hardenbergh finds in Dr. Good
win an eccentric character after his own heart,
and he plays it con amore. His features, his
voice, his hands, and his feet all come into
play in depicting the peculiarities of the old
ch1ropodist, and a look, an infection, a
gesture, even the gait he adopts, often alone
raised storm of laughter and applause last
night Mr.. Davidge made DR.. Briggs worthy
companion to Goodwin and his very presence
on the stage was source of laughter. Miss
Bartlett makes a good deal of her part and
the other character are we'll taken. A matinee
will be given to-day, and the last performance
tonight.
ROBSON & CRANE.
The sale of tickets for Robson and Crane at
New Portland Theatre has. we are glad to
know, already been very large. These ad-
mirable actors will appear Monday evening in
"Our Bachelors" and on the following even
ing in "Comedy of Errors" All lovers of the
drama in this city will rejoice to know that
these great artists are to appear here, and
those who have not secured their seats should
do so at once, as they are going very rapidly
Such an opportunity should not be neglected
1t will be one of the dramatic events of the
season.
NOTES.
Havery's celebrated Mastodon Minstrels
will crowd Portland Theatre next Wednesday
night.
There is great interest in musical circles in
the approaching performances of "Olivette."
In compliance with the wishes of his friends
Prof. Saucier will give second concert in the
course of next week. assisted by some of the
best talent of this city at the elegant piano
warerooms of Messrs. W. NJ Furbush & Son.

American Gems.

American Gems.
At the late inaugural ball at Washington
the famous parure of American gems was
worn by one of the members of the Hamlin
family OF Maine, to whom it belongs, and by
whom it has been constructed from collections
of the past sixty years. Previously to the ball
it was examined by number of the natural
lists of Washington, one of whom has Kindly
furnished brief description of the charming
jewels. 1t has been intimated that they may
eventually become the property of the nation,
and be deposited at the Smithsonian Institute,
as the proper receptacle for them. This rare
collection of our native productions should
certainly be preserved entire, as it is repre-
fish gems presented by the loyal Scots to
Queen Caroline many years ago.
The parure consists of bandeau ear drops,
brooch and necklace. The bandeau is COM
posed of a line of beryls from Massachusetts,
upon which are placed in separate points red,
white and green tourmalines from Maine, a
yellow emerald from Massachusetts, and gar
nets and other gems from the West. The ear
drops are composed of red and green tourma-
lines set with white aquamarines from Maine
duu MdSSdCuuSoGlS. Inc BROOCH is arranged IN
the form OF large cross, and contains twenty
gems, tourmalines, sapphires and beryls, Of
fine colors, from Maine, Montana and: Massa-
chusetts. The necklace is composed Of twen-
ty-fye links OF gold, each link containing a
beryl from Massachusetts,, and from which is
suspended a pendant formed of fine gems.
Some of these pendants contain stones of ex-
traordinary beauty, and, in fact, they exhibit
most of the finest stones found in the United
States during the last half century, ex-
cepting the big diamond found in Virginia,
which was purchased by John Morrissey, the
prize fighter. The central stone is magnifi-
cent green tourmaline from Maine, weighing
twenty-eight karats, and is without flaw
fresh water CLANS of New England brooks.
On either side of the tourmaline are two
matchless opals of more than an inch in diam
eter, without imperfection, and exhibiting
wondrous display of prismatic colors "Obe-
ron" and '"Titania" are the names given
them, from midsummer Nights Dream,S and
certainly nothing on earth gives more entranc-
ing glimpses of fairy-land than these perfect
gems. Montana is we'll represented with beaW-
tlful garnets and sapphires of red, white and
blue colors. New Mexico contributes, besides
the garnets of blood-red hue, a superb tur-
quolse more than an inch in length. 1t is a
gem that would have gladdened the hearts of
Cortez and his followers when they despoiled
the Mexicans of their fine emeralds, turquoise
and other varieties. The display of native
tourmalines is quite extraordinary, and COM
prises fine stones of green, red, white, blue
and yellow colors. The necklace contains over
$50 gems, which form altogether Jewel of re-
markable beauty, and is, in fact, museum in
itself of the rarest and most beautiful of our
gem productions Advertiser.

THE MAYORS DINNER.
Pleasant End of the Session of '8O-'81

A Pleasant End of the Session Of 1921
Last evening after the adjournment of the
City Government meeting a company COM
posed of some fifty-nine gentlemen, all of
them connected with the departments of tn
city, or the City Council, repaired to the Fall
mouth Hotel by invitation of His Honor
Mayor Senter where an elegant supper was in
readiness. The tables were decorated with
flowers, and the entertainment was not only
worthy the house, but it was also admirably
served.
After the appetites of the guests had been
fully satisfied Mayor Senter arose, amidst
great applause, and in brief speech said he
thought it would be found on examination of
the accounts of the year that considering the
appropriations, the city government had
averaged at least as we'll as former CITY
governments He also thought that the chair
man of the Board of Alderman was best fitted
to commence retrospective view of what the
city had accomplished.
Chairman Taylor of the Board of Alderman
responded briefly and, pertinently, after which
Shaw's Enthusiastically, Tewksbury, Fol-
A"AooOO anu OHdW-SduS u0llClOuSly, duu were
followed by Alderman c.. j. Chapman who
mentioned most appropriately some of the
good things the city had accomplished the
past year.
Speeches followed from Councilmen R. X.
Galley and E. A. Jordan, the latter concluding
with humorous poem full of bright wit
ticsms. After a song by the Quartette re-
marks were made by Alderman Andrews,
Councilman Fiske, City Solicitor Hale, En-
gineer Goodwin, Aldermen Deering, Hassett
and Sargent. Aud Lang Syne was then sung
by the company, and City Clerk H. l. Robin
son pronounced what was called benediction.
1t would be impossible within the usual
limits of daily paper to even touch upon the
many good things said by the various speakers,
and to more than refer to the capital music
furnished by the quartette. The affair was
delightful ending to most agreeable associa-
ton which will live long in the memory of all
present.
