THE FALL OF THE BAsTiLE.
What an Anarchist Says About the Ann

What an Anarchist Says About tho Anni-
vcrs-4ry Of That Event. July IL.
An Anarchist of this city, who
shaves lis beard SO as to leave only
inustachc on his face, was interviewed
by Sun reporter In regard to the pre-
diction of Capt. Bonfeld, of Chicago,
that there will be widespread An
archist uprising on the 14th Of next
July, and that in Paris, where their
operations are to begin, the centenary
Of the fall of the Bastile is then 70 be
celebrated ills IS true,F Y the New York
Anarchist said, that there Will be a
big time in Paris on July Il next at
the Eastile celebration, and it is also
true that they had a big time there on
the same date in last July, and like
wise on that date OF every year since
the establishment Of the French pepuh1
lie. The IaIh Of July in France Is
like the 4th Of July in the United
States. 1t is the national annual hoi-
day, when all France, including the
French government and army, unites
in celebfa.ins the most memorapis

celebrated here next year, as Inspector
Bonield, OF Chicago, says But there
is no need Of being alarmed about the
celebration OF next year, any more
than there was about Thai pf last yeaf,
or Of the year before. Tie celebration
is not anarchistic, but republican, and
signalizes the downfall Of monarchy.
As the Americans in France and other
countries celebrate the Fourth of July,
50 tho Frenchmsn In America and
other countries celebrate the 14th of
July; and the sympathizers with
French liberty who live in France
join hands with the people there, just
as tho foreign sympathizers with
American liberty who live here join
hands with the natives on Independ.
ence day. That is all the ground there
is for the apprehensions OF Inspector
Boniield, Of Chicago, who probably
never was in France. There Is not
the slightest danger in this eoun.ry,
any more than there is in France, of'the
Anarchists raising any rumpus on the
coming French centenary. They ars
i O hundred iimes stronges ip sFfaheS
than they are here. but the French

Sturgeon Caught without Bait.

Lake St. Clair, Michigan, is believed
to be the only place where sturgeon are
caught for the markets without the use
of bait In Lake Ontario a line about
the size OF an ordinary clothes line is
stretched across the mouth of stream. To
this line, at intervals Of four to six feet.
are attached shorter lines about two
feet in length, to the lower ends of which
are tied hooks baited with fresh meat.
The larger line is heavily weighted and
sunk to the bottom BY this means
many sturgeon are taken by the market
men. In Lake Champlain strong nets
are used In China, where the fisher
men generally have ways and
good onesl of their own, An i'm
proyement is made upon the method
described by Robin Ruff Upon
a line about 1000 feet long. the Chinese
place about 800 barbless hooks that are
about eight inches apart. These they
hold by sinkers and floats about one and
one-haf feet from the bottom OF
the bay. The sturgeon is a tough
skinned fish, and when one of these
hooks gets into him he moves around a
little and twenty are into him in no
time These lines they pull two, three
or four times a day, and asone haul they
sometimes bring up 1000 pounds Of
