 BLOCK ISLAND, R. l., Aug. l. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Block Island, the fisherman's paradise, has fairly outdone it's previous record this season. Never have striped bass been so abundant as at the present time and bass fishing is the all absorbing topic just now. There is in tense rivalry among the sportsmen, each be- ing determined to win the championship, the result of which has been some splendid catches. Mir Miner, of Providence, caught the largest fish of the week, weighing forty five pounds. Yesterday morning Mir. Triplen and Edward Earle, Esq, of New York, guests at the Ocean View Hotel, brought in several weighing from twenty five to forty five p0ands each Mir. Miner had photograph taken of his, three largest yesterday-the forty-fve pound one in the center and Q forty pound one on each side, with rod and reel and gaff hook crossed over them, from which card suspended marked ''125 pounds; enough for one morning. The largest bass ever caught here weighe d 106 pounds Novices find solace in bringing lake or io bIuefshing which latter must be better than at any other point on the coast, judging from the quantities of fish. shipped from the island. Swordfishing has been very productive here this summer, and near ly all caught are shipped to Boston. Yester- day fifteen were landed weighing from 200 to 400 pounds each.
 Tourists are coming in now in great num- bers and the hotels are doing @ large busi- ness, while ten days ago the prospect was a little better than at the neighboring resorts.

! the desire of authority, as well as prudence, l to make others the instruments for the actu- al work. Finally, when confronted with the galloWs, his nerves give way, and he turns lnformer, his intelligence and leadership making him more valuable witness than his associates, and securing him immunity in spite of the greater deteststion of his char acter. Such was the character and history of James Carey, as revealed by his own ad- missions and the testimony regarding the conspiracy and assassination, and the univer- sal feeling was that he much more deserved the gallows than his less responsible and more manly associates. It is a further sim gular illustration of his character that he re- tained SO much of his patriotism consisted of vindictive feeling against England, not withstanding that he had betrayed his own cause, or else was disappointed in the amount of his reward, and was conspicuous n his abuse of the government which sheltered him, under circumstances which left no doubt of his sincerity.
 But the character and fate of James Carey are of little consequence in themselves. What they illustrate is1the degrading inf1u- ence as well as the futiIity of secret conspir- acy. There is something demoralizing in conflict with the law by the methods of criminals which not even the firmest and most devoted natures can wholly avoid, and which deeply affects their lesser followers and instruments If a fervent enthusiasm
 
 smaller percentage of traitors and weddings as among the Russian Nihilists, their habits of life and moral conduct too often degene- rate into those of the merely criminal while in almost every instance secrecy and plotting invite or beget treachery and faithlessness to associates under temptation and fear. Such was the case among the Italian conspirators whom no severity of vengeance could make secure against traitors among themselves, and has been particularly so among the Irish, notwithstanding the infamy and the peril Of informers. There has not been an Irish con spiracy of any magnitude but what has been betrayed, and there is not likely to be. Ca- rey asserted, and probably with truth, that he merely forestalled some of his associates in the dock in turning Queens evidence, and, in spite of his fate, the direct fear of the gallows would have the same effect upon per
 sons of his character in the next case And persons of such character are sure to be
 members of conspiracy, or only in such va riation as will not affect their faithfulness. What the whole shameful business of the Phoenix Park murders teaches is of the fu- tility and the danger, as well as the crime, of conspiracy. The murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Secretary Burke was serious injury to the nationalist cause the assassins now the informer has perished by another crime. All these were the natural and al- 1 most inevitable results of conspiracy, and will be repeated if it is renewed. It seems | as though 1t was time the nature and tenden- | cy of secret conspiracy were understood, and that the warning examples had some effect.

The Weakness of conspIracIes.


 The report that Carey, the informer, had
 been shot and killed by self-constituted avenger on board an emigrant steamer for South Africa is confirmed and corroborated with much reiteration and circumstantiali. ty that it must be accepted as true. In fact, the chief suspicion that was thrown upon it was from it's dramatic nature and that it was too mach in accordance with what was threat ened and expected. It was just such story as would be invented for sensation, and there might have been some suspicion also that the English government might desire to spread the report of his death, as the best kindness it could do him, and would take as much pains to make it circumstantial and impres- sive as it had to afford him the means of es- cape from Ireland. Nevertheless, in the ha- tired which the treachery of Carey had aroused among the nationalist conspirators, in the general detestation of his race through out the world, and in the desire for vengeance among the immediate friends of his victims, it was not strange that he should have been pursued by an emissary of the conspiracy or the agent of private revenge, or that he should have been killed upon the impulse of the moment by some ardent nationalist to whom his identity had been accidentally made known. Such executions of vengeance upon traitor, and even more extraordinary in the cruelty and recklessness of their cir
 cumstances, have occurred not only in Irish history, but in Italian, Russian and other cOntlueuGhA consp1racloS, ana among SOue oL
 them, the Carbonari, for instance, have been
 a part of it's regular discipline and secret government The danger to Carey was in
 proportion to the notoriety and magnitude
 of tthe case, his main responsibility for the
 crime, and the number of his victims and the ebscurity which had been the safety of his fellow informers could not shelter one s0 widely known and deeply hated.
 As for the man himself, there can be but slight sympathy. He was ths~tgpe of the worst class of the Iris h sgitator and conspir-
 ator; the man with certain shre wdness and intelligence, with some means, generally ac- quired by the sale of liquor, and with inf1u- | ence derived from 8 sort of brutal joviality as well as vindictive determination and mas terfuI will in such an one, patriotism natu- | rally takes the form of hatred, and desire 1 for violence. even if the baser passions do | not become the main ingredient.

In 1865 and 1866 he was speaker of the New Hampshire House and was elected a member of the 43d Congress. He was q candidate for re election, but was defeated by Samuel N. Bell It was notori- ons at the time that Mir. Pike was counted out after midnight by the Democratic poli- ticiansl Of ward five in Manchester and the support that has been rendered him by the Manchester delegation is partially due to the sympathy felt for him by his friends in that city who were then powerless to help him. In Congress he served on the committee on elections. He has always been Republican and has served his party three years as chair man of the Republican State committee Since he retired from Congress he has de voted his whole attention to his profession, is eminent in his legal standing and has a large practice.

One of the ingenious devices of Shaw $ Brothers to make their financial condition seem better than it was is thus described At one time their paper ahoat was said to be over $I, 75O, 900. Suddenly the trade was informed that the amount had been reduced to $75O,OOo and the way this was done was as follows: They would say to one of their customers ,hsHides are gong to be higher We can buy now at low rates, and by the time you want to use the leather we can have it ready and supply you at low rate. Give us the use ofa your notes so that we can raise the money on them" This looked like 8 profitable thing for the customer because it apparently se- cured him certainty of supply of leather at fixed rates, so that he could make long contracts for manufacturing goods. and merely by lending the use of his name. One firm. customers of the Shaws, advanced $40o, GOO of notes in this way. The prncti- cal result of this was that gradually the notes of the Shaws disappeared from the market and the notes of their customers replaced them. These notes, being apparently given in the regular course of trade, were readily discounted at the banks, and comprise 8 large part of the assets.

In the natural course of things the majori- ty of those who live in cities are not town born" Thus, in Paris out of every 1000 only 322 are born there, while 38 come from the other communes of the department, 5G5 from the various departments and colonies, and 75 from foreign countries. Other conti- mental capitals do not contain so many foreigners as Paris, Berlin only possessing l 3 out Of 1000 and Pesth but If. At the time of the census of 1881, there were in Paris 45,2sl Belgians, 3l, 19O Germans, 21,577 Italians, 2O,S1o Swiss, 10. 7s9 English, 9,25O Dutch, 5,927 Americans. 5, 7s6 Russians, 4,- 9s2 Austrians, and 3,616 Spaniards. The German element has very largely increased since 1876, at which period they only mum bered 19,O24.

Anybody who wants to write new Eng fish as She is Spoke'' can get some useful hints from the little paper published at the Indian industrial school at Carlisle, Pennsyl- vania. A column or more of the last issue of this paper is filled with extracts of letters written by some of the boys and gir's who are supporting themselves during the sum- mer by farm-work or housework in different parts of the ceuntzys- S0msE of fllstE uzsEssAs arc decidedly funny. One who is feeling rather blue writes, "I have got bad sorry o-day." Another, who is too industrious ever to suffer from low spirits, declares that s'every morning got up about o'clock and doing my morning work all done before breakfast" Yet another, evidently boy, would seem to deserve equal credit for activi- ty and zeal ''We have clean the corn, about forty bushes in the three hours and have been work hard and make the sweat of my face"

The coming Luther quater-centennial is arousing great popular interest throughout Germany. Luther relics are bsing brought out all over the country, and the Museum at Halle, on the Saale, has just unearthed wax mask taken from Luther's features when his body lay in the Market church, in February, 1546, on the journey from Eisleben to Wit tenberg The Berlin Markfsh Museum owns the Bible used in Luther's preparatory stud les for his translation of the Scriptures. It is large Latin edition, printed at Basic in 1909, and the pages and inside of the covers are completely covered with his coarse hand writing. On the title page he wrote the quotation, 'If Thy Word, Oh Lord, do not comfort me, should perish in misery. 1542, Mart. Luther, D."
