the same rights that any form of incorpora-

the condition that the persons and property of

been accidental; or it might have implied

that those who proclaimed the creed are in

In any event it would be ell for the Labor

THE FISHERY QUESTION.
The Fishery dispute between the United
States and Great Britain has passed through
many singular phases in the last seventy
years but never before, / think, was it surround
ed with such extraordinary circumstances as
we find existing at this moment. Before dis
cussing the merits of the American case it
may be interesting to recall the process by
which the question has been placed in its
present attitude.
On the 3lst day of January, 1885, several
months before the fishing season of that year
began, President Arthur issued a proclama-
tlon giving notice to the people that the fish
cry articles of the Treaty of Washington
(lo7l) had, according to the conditions of
the Treaty, been formally terminated The
President made the results that would flow
from this action plain and unmistakable by
warning all citizens of the United States that
none of the privileges secured to them by
these articles will exist after July LIST, 1885,
This termination of the treaty had been de-
creed by an overwhelming vote of both
branches of Congress and was now made
final and effective by the Presidents procla-
nation. This course had been earnestly de-
sired by the American fishermen, was fully
understood by them and was completed with
out protest from single citizen of the Uni
ted States.
Five weeks after President Arthur's pro-
clamation was issued, his term closed, and
with the new Administration Mr.. Baysrd be-
came Secretary of State. In three or four
days after he had been installed ia office the
British Minister, Honorable Sackvlle West,
submitted proposal to continue the recipro-
cal fishing arrangements until January l,
1886. After brief correspondence Mr..
Bayard accepted the offer. In other words,
Mr.. West and Mr.. Bayard made a treaty of
their own by which American fishermen were
to be allowed to fish in British waters six
months longer, and British fishermen should
freely fish in American waters for the same
period. When Mr.. West first proposed this
extension of time, in his note of March II, he
based his suggestion solely upon the gener-
GUS ground that as the treaty would terminate
during the fishing season considerable hard
ship might be occasioned to American fish
ermen if they were compelled to desst fish
ing at that time" This exact point had been
foreseen, had been carefully considered by
Congress, by the President, by the State
Department, and by the American fishermen
themselves. In popular parlance,
they had discounted it" and were
fully prepared for it, when to
their exceeding surprise the British Minister
seemed to be moved with compassion for
their possible sufferings. Apparently with
out other motive than disnterested benevo
lence, Mr.. West was anxious to allow them
six months more of that precious time which
the Halifax Commission had declared to be

a CHINESE JEWELER.

One OF ChicaGo's Metropolitan Institu-
tions-Designs for Ring.
In an obscure little shop on West
Madison street there is Il Chinese
laundryman who devotes his spare
moments to the lapidary's art. His
name is Kung Chong. AT the bottom
of small sign, which is nearly covered
with Chinese characters, passers-by are
informed in line or two of English
that he is prepared to make or repair
jewelry.
A man who wished to see what kind
of work was turned out under such
peculiar circumstances, pushed open
the low door and entered the laundry
yesterday afternoon.
''Wantee ring" said the stranger,
making a painful attempt to approx
mate the celestial vernacular. Instant
ly three black irons ceased sliding over
as many spotless shirts, and three pairs
of bright eyes were fastened on the
stranger. After gazing half suspicious
ly, half curiously for a moment or two,
The irons began to move again, and
the three Cinnamon laughed rather
discourteously at the sad figure the
stranger cut in trying to talk Chinese.
The latter, meanwhile, had been sur
veying their faces carefully and at
tempting to decide which one of them
looked most like a lapidary. Finally his
scrutiny was rewarded by the sight of
large mole on the cheek of one of the
Cinnamon, which was covered by a
thick growth of black hair at least two

one the stranger addressed him, and
by dint of much gesticulation, sign
making and monoSyllablic jargon the
latter was made to understand what
was wanted.
Dropping his iron, Kung Chong-for
it was he-led the way to dingy corner
of the room where there was small
table. Taking then very finely pointed
hair brush and dipping it into small
saucer of black paint, he quickly drew
two parallel lines about three inches
long and half an inch apart on a piece
of MANILA paper. Touching the paper
very lightly, he then proceeded to fill
in the space between the lines with
curious figures, and his idea dawned on
the stranger. He was designing ring.

of the zodiac, for the first three designs
which he drew We're those of crab, a
scorpion and 4 fish. The rest of the
space was filed in with one or two
flowers, 2 very jolly-looking bug and a
small snail.
Having completed this grotesque
drawing, Kung Chong quickly rolled
the paper around his finger so that the
ENDS of the parallel lines met, indicat-
ing thus the character Of the design.
Having examined it with due circum-
.spection, the stranger asked the price.
"Ten dolla', plure gold, no solba
(shoddy) gold, replied Kung Chong.
Taking the paper and turning it over
he then quickly designed scarf-pin
(which looked like Il decorated Greek
cross. Instead of the conventional figure,
however, the chief design was that of a
small bird with a long bill rummaging
about in a large flower, presumably a
poppy or other examples of Chinese
dora. This could also be had in ''plure
gold, no solba gold, for ten dollars.

pocket and said he would call the next

Nourishing Food.

The kind of food which we take is a
matter of great importance, more or
less affecting our physical mental and
moral character. Only wholesome
food should ever be selected, if we
would have sound and good health, if
we care more about our health and
usefulness than of mere sensual graft
hcations. No purer food can be found
than the grains and fruits, none con-
tanning more to support the whole sys-
tenn than the grains, wheat containing
every element which enters into the
body The spices do not contain any
valuable nourishment, do not aid d.
gestiOn, but really retard it, deranging
the whole system.-GoldG2 Rule.

NATURAL GAS.
Some OF the Changes Wrought by Its GEN
eraI Introduction.

Sohe Oh inc changes wrought by Its Gem
eraI Introduction.
Though the Introduction of petroleum
as fuel has met with little favor. nat
ural gas, chemically identical with De-
troleum, has of late attracted wide at
tentlOn. The existence of natural Gas
IN this country was known long before
petroleum wells were drilled; and as
early as 1921 a gas spring at Fredonia.
N. l., was discovered, a well dug, and
the gas was conveyed to several
houses, which We're illuminated bv it
IN 1924, when Lafayette passed through
the village.
In the early days of the oil industry
natural gas was found to exist with the
oil, and its presence causes oil wells to
flow. As early as the spring of 1861
Rouse's well was opened as large
producer of petroleum, with large
volume of escaping gas that filled the
nelghboring valley like fog. Coming
in contact with fire somewhere in the
vicinity, terrific explosion occurred,
killing nineteen persons. During the
last decade natural gas has been intro
duced into most of the towns of the oil
regions, both as fuel and illuminant.
Prominent among towns using this
natural agent are, first, Pittsburgh and
Allegheny City, where it is extensively
employed in manufactures, and next
to these Oil City, Bradford, Warren,
Titusville, Franklin, Butler, Beaver
Falls, Bolivar, Allentown, Friendship,
etc, in Pennsylvania, and Cuba, FIRE.
