FISH FOR FOOD.
The State Commissioners' Explanation of Why
Food Fish are Scarce.

Food Fish arc Scarce.
The report of the commissioners of state
fisheries, which will soon be published, gives
the following as the principal reason why
food fish in Pennsylvania are not more plen-
tiful
l. The dams which obstruct nearly all the
large streams
q The lack of adequate fishways.
3. The non-observance of the close of
spawning seasons
I. The many illegal and deadly devices
employed at all seasons for the capturing and
killing Of fish.
5. The pollution of streams with material
poisonous to the fish.
DELAWARE sHAD.
The shad fishing season In the Delaware
began this morning at sunrise, and accord
ing TO the rules laid down by old shad
hahermen the prospects are that shad will be
numerous. The heavy ice that remained in
the river until very recently has had the ef-
feet Of keeping the fish down the bay, but
when the ''run'' begins 1t is believed that
heavy catches will be made by both the
gillerB and shore fisheries. For two weeks
pest gillers have been busy In repairing
their nets and getting their boats in readiness
for the opening day, but numbers OF them
VIII not make their first drift for week or
ten days yet At Red Bank yesterday seven
fine Bhad were netted by some gillers. This
is the first lot that has been caught north of

Mr.. VIM. 8. Roose, tho well known cigar
dealer, of Washington, says that In his belief
the real cause Of Gen. Grants disease has
never yet been correctly stated. Mr.. Roose,
from the time that Gen. Graut came to WASH
ington to take charge of army headquarters
until he left the White House, always sup
piled him with cigars, and in all the subse-
quent visits OF the general to Washington he
invariably dealt with Mr.. Roose. Mr.. Roose
says the statement which has 80 frequently
been made as to the strength and tho number
OF cigars smoked by Gen. Grant is entirely
erroneous. He says that General Grant did
not smoke strong cigars, neither did he use
half so many per day as is popularity sup
posed. He always called for a cigar of fine
flavor and ofmedium strength, and paid good
prices 1t was his habit constantly to retain q
cigar in his mouth after the fire was extin-
gufshed, which would be the case very often
when he was engaged In conversation. Mr..
X. says no has many times noticed the gen.
eral stand or sit for an hour or two with a
half-smoked cigar, which had gone out In
his mouth, and people seeing him constantly
with a cigar obtained the idea, which has be-
come prevalent, that the number consumed
by him was enormous. Gen. Grant never
expeotorated as so many smokers do Scarcely
anything Is more noxious to the smell than
an unlighted cigar partially consumed and
the mixture which It makes with the saliva
cannot be regarded as a healthy solution.
MIR. Roose is of the belief that 1t was neither
the strength nor the number of cigars con-
sumed by Gen. Grant which was the origin
OF his disease, but that 1t was due to the re-
tentfon of tho deadly nicotine expectorated
by most smokers, and its continued contact
with the tongue and the palate before Il was
received Into the stomach
