"H1cKoRY" SHAp-It is said that some of the
ilsh hucksters in this city are swindling house
keepers by selling them "bIckory" shad for the
genuine article. The "hickoryn fish are worth
about 10 cents each, but are fraudulently sold as
shaf for four or five times that sum. There is
even more difference In the quality and flavor OF
the fish than in the prices mentioned A scientist
at the National Museum says the two kinds Of
fsh can be easily distinguished by one pecultaritv
The lower jaw OF the closed mouth OF the "hicI-
Dry" ptotrudeS, like the lip OF pouting Child
When the mouth Of the shad Is closed both Jaws

THE LETTER STATuE-Somc Of the pastors and
laymen OF the Lutheran churches in this city are
opposed TO the location OF the proposed statue OF
Martin Lnther on the triangular piece Of ground
placing It on one OF the public reservations In the
city, which they believe can be procured for the
purpose. The place for the statue Is OF far less
consequences than the statue itself. That should
be secured, one would think, before getting into
controversy a. to tte location.
