An improvement In Pig Pens.


A few days ago, after fire which partly
consumed dwelling house ON Third street,
the owner permitted gang Of Poles to carry
of a lot Of the damaged furniture. Aspiring
bed fell to the lot of an old man The cover
had been destroyed and several of the coils
were missing, but he accepted the present
with every expression Of gratitude, and as he
carried it away his fellow countrymen cast
many an envious glance in his direction.
That same afternoon the donor had business
In Poletown, and as he rode along the Pole
to whom he had given the bed ran out and
made motions for him to come In.
.sBless his old soul! but he's got those
springs fixed up and wants me to see what q
nice bed he has, said the citizen to himself,
and he followed the man around to the house
There was the spring bed. The man had
built pig pen and the gift just made front
for it. The wire coils were placed on the
inside, and the occupant Of the pen was
scratching against them and squealing with
delight. lt-- tMhat4 LE4a6

pen.

There Is where you are mistaken Not
only where the diamond backs well and
hearty, but their average weight was four
pounds and one ounce each. They had
gained an ounce on nothing. have tried
the same experiment before, and always
with similar results. 1t doesn't cost much
TO board terrapins, does itp Ia.
Mr.. Scoggins related an instance Of the
recuperatiye powers Of the terrapin- One
night healthy rat made stable meal of
a terrapin's hind foot, and left an ugly sore.
The terrapin was placed in a box by itself.
Nothing was applied to the sore, and in the
space of twenty-four hours the wound was
completely healed.
There are several methods OF catching the
terrapin. One Is by dredge. another by q
refine, another by net, and still another by
three-pronged stick. With the latter, the
catcher prods In the mud until he feels
something move, and then he reaches down
for the diamond hack. The element Of luck
naturally enters largely into tsrrapin CATCH
ing, but experience frequently shows where
they most abound. Good catcbers know
the reptiles peculiarities, and when they
discover luxurious growth OF water cress,
they lie low for their prey, rs that il sure to
prove a terrapin feeding ground. The In
dians used to have great liking for the ter
rapin. In 1861, when the big men OF all the
Indian tribes met ut Sresutia island, ut the
mouth OF the Susquehanna, toInake treaty
with Governor Philip Calvert, the biggest
chief Of them all was Dahadaghossa, OF the
great Torrepine-i Q. terrapin-family.

Thirty years ago, with the hardest kind
of labor" said Mr.. l. r. Scoggins, the game
and fish dealer, al succeeded In selling 81
600 worth OF diamond-back rerrapins ut from
S8 TO $40 u doxsn. In the season which
closed ON the 1t OF April sold over $780,

they were purchased TO any great extent
My grandfather leaves it on record that he
bought the best tsrrapin In the Annapolis
market for i2A cents each, and his slaves
once rebelled because he gave them terrapin
nm would not give them pork. OF course,
time, have greatly changed since then.
Now there are 81 500, 900 worth Of terra7in
caught out Of the Chesapeake bay and Its
tributaries every year. Az the price averages
fully $50 dozen, this represents GOO, 600 ter
rapins annually. During the season over
600 men are engaged In catching them. They
are caught on both sides OF the bay, from
the Rappahannock 10 Spring Gardens They
are found wherever the water crosses grow,

bay Is the best body Of water for this grass

Pacific Coast Business from the Mid.

Commissioner Midgley of the Pacific
Coast association announces that until

vania, Ohio and West Virginia, may be
forwarded upon the following basis:
The lines upon which traffic originates
are at liberty to quote from the competitive
points above referred to, to any point on the
Mississippi river-to Dubuque, Ia, to Lou

classification from which may be current
from such common points to East st. Louis,
provided that such rates to the Mississippi
river are divided SO as to allow the lines

WASHINGTON, April lot is under

with regard to appointments to places in

CHICAGO, April 16.-It seems to be
almost settled fact that the Northwestern
Traffic association will soon cease to oper-
ate, so far as its provisions remaining a
binding force go. The milling in-transit"
question is a rock on which it has struck
and which threatens to shatter it. 1t was
expected that General Manager Roswell Mill
ler's presence could be secured at a proposed
meeting to be held to-day, but he has signi-
fed his intention of being present, and as
Marvin Hughitt, of the Northwestern,
leaves for New York tomorrow morning
for week or ten days, any conference
before his return is impossible. The St.
Paul is evidently determined to
STAND BY ITS INTERPRETATION
of that traffic, and will not agree to report
it to the association. On the other hand,
the other roads concerned will not yield a
point. They cite the fact that milling in
transit" does not appear on the list Of traf-
fic exempted from the provisions, and, still
further, that nothing of the kind was un-
derStood at the time OF the formation of the
agreement. That there could have been no
mistake is shown by the fact that for pc
period of three months the st. Paul road
not only reported this business, but
its freight department aided in
regulation of tariffs and applied
to the commission for instructions regard
ing the same. Proofs, arguments or pre-
cedents fail. However, when there exists
determination not to agree even arbitration
is of no avail, and it follows that nothing but
general breaking up and war of rates is
in store for the future. AS consequence
lively times among the Northwestern roads
can be looked for shortly.

CRIME RECORD.
The ST. Louis Trapedv.

New YORK, April 16.-The st. Loui:
tragedy continues to be the absorbing SEN
sation. Intimate friends of Preller state
that his religious convictions were very
singular. His relatives did not fully un-
derstand them and refrained from talking
with him about the subject He belonged tC
curious undenominated committee of dis
tictive views very small as yet in America,
but with quite foothold in England. The
believers refer to one another in such de-
voted terms as kindred Spirit" '.Dea,
Brother" and similar expressions. The
few believers in this city have no regular
place of worship. They meet in public
halls and private houses, devoting much OF
their labor TO young men. PreIler's con-
nection with this people made him ac-
quainted with Richard A. Owens. Mr..
Owens saw Preller frequently during his
last visit here, but he never spoke to him OF
Maxwell. Mr.. Owens supposed that his
friend was going to Australia alone. He
said yesterday that the printed circum-
stances almost forced him to the sorrowful
belief that the body found in the trunk was
ali that was
MORTAL OF HIS FRIEND PRELLER.
Frank Schleisinger OF the firm OF II. Sci
lenbaek & Co. is a cousin of Mr.. Prellef
and has been very intimate with him. Mr..
Schleisinger took charge of Preller's letters
while he was travelling and forwarded them
TO him on request. Before he babe his
cousin goodbye PreIler spoke of Maxwell.
and said he had arranged to meet him in St.
Lonis April 4. Preller telegraphed Mr..
Schleisinger from st. Louis: Kindly di-
rect all post to San Francisco. This is the
last that has been heard from him. Letters
that he had promised to write. business ar
rangements that he had promised to make.
which his friends believe he surely would
have carried out were he alive. have ne
mained unattended to. 1T is the fact that
we have not heard from him for so long
that suggests TO me that the body
FOUND IN THE TRUNK
must be that of my cousin said Mr..
Schleisinger when . reporter asked him
about the matter yesterday. Have you
