A Decision Of Interest to Fisherman.

The Collector of Customs of Gloucester,
Mass, has presented a question to the Treasury
Department as to whether certain fish caught by
natives of Iceland for the captain of an Ameri-
can schooner can be considered as the product
of American fisheries and therefore exempt
from duty. 1t appears that the captain of the
schooner Landseer. during fishing voyage,
landed at Dyselfiord, Iceland, a quantity of
fishing gear, provisions, sails and salt, and en-
ployed some Of the inhabitants to catch fish for
him. to be delivered on his return; that he then
resumed his fishing voyage, returning OCCASION
ally to land some of his catch and to take stores
and that on his final return he took on board
all the fish at hand and took them to Gloucester.
Assistant Secretary Maynard, in reply. says
that, ''after a careful consideration, the de-
partment is of the opinion that consistent
Interpretation of the several decisions rendered
in somewhat similar cases would make the fish
in question, which were caught by foreigners
in foreign vessels or from foreign shores, and
which would appear to have been cured by
them, subject to duty, Notwithstanding such
foreigners were to an extent In the employ of
an American fishing vessel"

The Danger Of Poor Glasses.

''it Is my candid opinion" said promnt Mt
oculst to an Evening sun reporter the other
day, "that the cyesight Of more people have
been ruined from buying poor glrsses from
peddlcrs than from any other cause. The eve
is the most sensitive organ of the body. and too
much care cannot be taken with ones sight.
'These street opticians are not opticians at
all. and in many eases do not know whether a
convex, concave or plain glass should be worn
BY a person with weak eyes. Take for instance
the ped'llcrs who sell glasses for quarter.
The purchaser OF this kind of glasses always
regrets his folly. for in many cases they lead to
even more serious difficulty than that first eX-
perienced by the patient. This style of goods
is made from wretchedIy poor glass, and often
the lenses are so tawed that three or four
daVS' use of them will completely ruin one )
sight
SIS there much profit in these cheap glasses:'
''ics. much more than there is in higll-priced
ones. Glasses that peddlers sell for a quarter
cost from to 10 cents pair and are imperfect
in nncty-nine cases out of a hundred. Lenses
which contain flaws and cannot be used in
second grade glasses are put into cheap rub
ber frames and sold in big lots at price which
just clears the cost Of making, and even then
the manufacturer clears a good profit, for if
not disposed of in this way the glasses would
have to be thrown away,
eff you get perfect pair of these glasses are
they good for anything!''
"They are affected by heat or cold, and in
both hot and cold weather there is always a
mist over their surfaces. This is also true in
the best glasses, but pair of pebbles will not
retain moisture as easily as the poorer glasses
do. From business point of view l ought
not to say what ! have sold, for get dozens
of cases a week of persons who through try.
ing to be economical have ruined their eyes
There should be a law passed making it mis-.
demeanor to sell glasses or spectacles which
are imperfect New York Evening Sun.

despatch from Newark New Jersey, to the
Boston Record says;
The Democrats claim victory at the charter
election, Tuesday, but the figures are against
them. The city went Democratic, ii is true, on the
popular vote. but it has been Democratic for scv.
eral years. Last year Mayor Haynes. the present
Democratic incumbent, received Il plurality of L.
30S votes. Tuesday the Democrats elected their
tax commissioner and school trustee by slightly
over 800 majority. The truth is, the Republicans
aimed 200 votes, because they reduced the
Democratic majority 200 votes from last year.

Pullman Yestibuled Trains.

It is universally conceded that, notwith-
standing the advent of old and new lines in
to the field of competition for passenger
traffic between St. Paul and Minneapolis ard
Milwaukee and Chicago, the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway maintains its pre-:
eminent position as the leading line, and
carries the bulk of business between these
points. It is not hard to account for this,
when we consider that it was the first in the
field, and gained its popularity by long
years of Erst.class service. 1t has kept up to
the times by adopting all modern improve
ments IN equipment and methods, the latest
being complete Pullman Vestibuled trains
running daily between Chicago and st. Paul
and Minneapolis, and its route being along
the banks of the Mississippi, through the
finest farming country, the most populous
and prosperous towns and villages, it offers
to it's patrons the very best service their
money can buy.
Its dining cars are celebrated througout
the length and breadth of the land as being
the finest in the world. Its sleeping cars
are the best belonging to the Pullman COM
pany, being marvels of elegance, comfort
and luxury; its day coaches are the best
made. and its employees, by long continued
service in their respective capacities, are ex-
perts-courteous and accommodating to all.
It is not at all strange, therefore, that an IN
telligent and discriminating travelling public
should almost exclusively patronize this
great railway. 9V
