Starving Fishermen.

The German fishermen in tho Baltic,
who subsist only from their fisheries.
have had narrow escape of being
starved to death owing to an imperial
fishery law recently passed prohibiting
fishing during spawning time. One
day delegation headed by a gigantic
fisherman from near Dantzic, arrived
OF the palace of the crown prince in
Berlin and requested an audience. The
spokesman appealed to the crown
prince as the protector of the German
Fishery Unioif and asked for his in
tervention. The crown prince inquired
of him if they had applied to the pro-
vincial governor ut Koenigsburg, who
was known to be most amiable man.
THAT fellow" replied the spokesman
of the party, "can not distinguish day
from night. He simply told us law is
law. He takes his roast meat every
day and smokes his Havana cigar after
dinner. But when we go without fish
ing but single day we have nothing
TO cat" And he went on to describe.
in his pa'ois, the condition of his col
leagues that sent him, saying, among
other things. that there was grow
lnS OH tuC pcpDlg SuoiC as Nv
tie as there was on the floor of the
princes room; that he was considered
a rich man because he was able to keep
q COW; that the gales prevalent on the
coast prevented them but too often
from going to sea, and that, therefore,
the fish were disturbed little enough,
etc. The crown prince promised to say
good word for them, and gently limited
that the audience was at an end; but
his herculean interlocutor coolly went
on: "Your imperial highness, l can not
leave without some written promise to
that effect. We are poor folk and have
barely been able to scratch money to-
gether for the long journey. Ishouldn't
dare to 90 back without line or two,
lest those that sent us would not be-
lieve had seen you" The crown
prince smiled, wrote q short note,
caused telegram to be sont to Koenigs-
burg, and gave orders that the men
should be we'll treated and fed and
their return journey paid for. Through
his intervention the law in question was
modified so as to exempt the fishermen
of the Kurian Nchrung from its strin-
gent provisions. The fish there have
no specified spawning time set aside for
them; on the other hand, no fishermen
in that section were allowed TO starve
owing to tho resolute action of their
spokesman.-North German Gazette.

The Failure of Stout & Co.

New YORK, June 26.-The Tribune says of
the failure of Stout & Co.: mo statement of
the firms affairs can be made for several days,
but negotiations are pending which may end in
a speedy resumption of business. The failure
is understood to have been caused primarily
by the calling of loans on Metropolitan Elevated
railroad stock, of which the firm had been car
rying large amount for several years. The
most interesting feature OF the failure was the
action of G. T. Hudson G. Co., a firm of which
Henry A. Smith is a special partner. o.
receipt Of notice from Stout & Co. to sell
quietly 200 shares of New York Central
stock loaned it, the word quietly was read
quickly and Hudson at once sent notice to the
chairman of the Stock Echange to sell the stock
under the rule on account of the failure of
Stout & Co. The letter was not read
but the stock was sold in accordance
with its terms. Soon after the sale was made
the firm was to announce it's suspension. No
little feeling was m anifested by members of the
Exchange, because the action of Hudson & Co. was
regarded as an attempt to depress the market.
Hudson denies that he intended committing a
