WHO STRUCK BILLY PATTERSON -
Billy Patterson, the man who was struck,
was the father Of Miss Patterson who
married Jerome Bonaparte. The striking
was done at a country gathering in
Franklin County, Tennessee. After the
blow, which was dealt surruptitiously,
Mr.. Patterson inquired, "Who struck
Billy Patterson but there was no reply.
He continued the inquiry at regular and
irregular periods IS long o. he lived, until
it became national question, and in his
will he provided for reward Of 81 900

quisite information. And it has come at
last. Mrs. Jennie Conely of Athol, New
York, writes to the officials Of Franklin
County that it was her father, George
Tillerton, who dealt the blow, that the
blow broke his thumb. and that shortly
after the disturbance he fed the country
and died abroad. Mrs. Conely is old and
an invalid, and her proofs are such as to
leave no doubt that she will get the leg.

failed to answer him, and made this re-.

Senator Fair has an exalted opinion of
Senator Edmunds- In his Chicago in.
terview he said: Senator Edmunds is
a great man, an able man; no better
could be put in the chair he now occu-
pies He is to great to be even Presi-
dent of the United States. He is a giant.
There are two or three other giants in
the Presidential field, and they all fight
one another. They will not mind seeing
a pigmy in the White House. They
would rather see pigmy attain success
than to permit a giant to become Presi-
dent"

The National Fish Commission has be-
come one Of the institutions of the coun.
try which meets with universal approval
1t is constantly enlarging and extending
its benefits. Professor Baird, who stands
at its head, has taught the cod fishermen
q valuable lesson. He has introduced
the gill nets among them, which have the
advantage Of securing them greater sue
cess in their "catches, of saving a con-
siderable sum that has heretofore been
expended far bait, and in preventing
the destruction of young fishes, as the
meshes of the nets are sufficiently large
to permit them to escape, 1t is estimated
that by the new means of capture over
half million pounds of cod were taken
off the "banks" in December. Professor
Baird, it is said, intends to employ the
steamer Fish Hawk in scattering one
hundred million of eggs annually, from
ripe cod, along the coast from Maine to
Virginia. A vast increase Of the cod in.
dustry is predicted in consequence. The
entire product of the United States is es.
timated to be worth S45, 600, 900 to those
engaged in it. The Importance, there.
fore, for introducing facilities for captur-
ing fish, at the same time their number is
multiplied by artificial means, cannot be
overestimated.

There recently died in town near st.
Louis a woman named Latimer, who had
morbid appetite for paper. She liter.
ally devoured books, newspapers and all
kinds of literature. She would chew up
magazine with the same relish that an
ordinary person would manifest in eating
a sirloin steak. She was specially fond
of printed matter. The ink seemed to
add an additional flavor to the proven
der. She would tear from their bindings
and masticate the leaves, or, if nothing
more delectable was at hand, she fed
upon common straw wrapping-paper, such
as grocers' and butchers parcels are
wrapped up in. She is said to have in.
herited the curious appetite, and to have
begun to chew paper simultaneously with
the cutting Of her first teeth. Paper was
monomania with her. She was an in
telligent woman, and INDUCED in no
other freaks. During the closing years
of her life her friends had to keep con.
slant guard over her to prevent her from
swallowing the contents of the book cases
and despoiling the parlor table of its
poetry and its art.
