Durant Fined.

Capt. Harry A. Durant, the notorious
opium smuggler, has been convicted in the
United States court in Detroit, and sen
fenced to pay a fine of $1,000 and serve
seven months in the Detroit house OF cor
rection.
Durant was captain of the steamer
Emma, which was engaged in the SNUG
CLING business. About two years ago the
officers were about to seize it, when Du.
rant deserted the vessel at Sand Beach, and
took TO the woods. The officers were on
his trail and were about TO arrest him
when he made a vigorous resistance. He
was on horseback, but stopped long enough
TO fire several shots at the authorities.
The officers secured several thousand
packages of opium, but the smugglers es
capped. He was next located at Victoria,
British Columbia.
During election week he came back TO
visit neIr Holly. Word was sent to As
sistant District Attorney Wilkins Of De.
troit and the offender was arrested and
lodged in Jail.
The sentence was light, as Judge Brown
indicated, because the steamer had been
seized by the government, and this was u
heavy loss to the captain.

DIED AWAY FROM HOME.
George II. PendletOn, Ex-Minister 10
Germany Dead.

Hon. George II. Pendleton, minister
of the United States TO Germany, died in
Brussels Nov. D.
George III. Pendleton was born in Gin
cinnati, Ohio, on the 2jth OF July, 1925. He
received an academical education, read law
and was admitted TO the bar. After hav-
ing been member of the Ohio senate in
1854 and 1855 he was elected to congress as
a democrat, and served in the 35th, 36th,
18th and 3Sth congresses This gave him
seat in the house of representatives contin-
uously from Dec. Z, 1857, to March 3, 1865.
When, in 1864, George b. Mcclellan ran
unsuccessfully for the presidency, George
II. Pendleton's name was on the same tick
ct as candidate for the vice presidency. In
1869 he was nominated by the democratic
party for governor OF the state, but, being
unable TO make canvass, was defeated.
Since that time he has served "a most hon
orable and distinguished term in the Unit
ed States senate, and after his historic re-
tirement from that position he devoted his
time TO his private business, until his APP
pointment as minister to Germany by Pres
ident Cleveland.
He was the originator of the civil service
reform bill, which passed both houses of
congress, aud this probably gave him more
notoriety than any OF his civil acts.

Mrs. Parnell is Indignant.

Mrs. ParnelI claims That President
Fitzgerald, James Redputh and others of
the league have interfered with the raising
OF fund for her. She VS.:
When | would appeal to prominent mem
bers of the league, | would be tod that my
son Charles had sufficient means TO help
me. This is false. Charles Stewart Par
nell has not a dollar OF his own in the

tributed for the cause of ireland, and he
has no right to use it for my support. True,
he gave up his private fortune for the
cause, and when my boy entered Irish

ireland, but what is that if he wins home

WHITEFISH CATCH IMPROVED.
The Fish Law Regarded as Wise
and Just One.


The catching of fish Is one OF the leading
industries of Michigan, its extensive coast
lines furnishing the best fresh water fish
ing grounds In the world. For a number
OF years fishing on the Michigan shores was
remarkably poor, and was continually
growing worse, and would undoubtedly
have kept on in that bad way had not the
state passed a law regulating the size of
net mesh TO be used. j. N. Dewey OF Mon
roe, a we'll posted fish dealer. said recently
that before that law went into effect there
were ught annually on the east shore Of
Luke Michigan alone no less than 5000 900
young whitehsh, weighing from one-third
TO one-half a pound each. These were all
thrown away, but If they had been allowed
TO mature and reach their proper weight
they would have exceeded in pounds the
entire catch of marketable fish Tor any one
year. This is the first year that the pro
tective law has had "a chance to be of any
Bppreciable effect, as IL has allowed the
young fish uninterrupted growth of three
years, and the result is manifest in the in
creased catch of whitetish this fall For a
number of years there were practically no
fish in Grand Traverse bay; but this year
the fishermen are getting boatloads OF them
and the same is true OF the entire lake
coast, from Traverse bay TO the straits of
Mackinac and thence down TO the entrance
to Green Bay.

felicity.
Alexander Mckenzie Of Grand Rapids, n
Sc0tchman by birth, painter by trade and
recently arrived from Chicago shot his
wife the other morning The bullet from
the revolver entered the right temple and
will probably prove fatal.
Domestic infelicity is at the bottom OF
the trouble.
Mrs Mckenzie had recently applied for
a divorce The couple had two children, a
boy of eight and girl of IL. Mckenzie
has been arrested.
Mckenzie gives his age as SO and that of
that OF his wife as IS. When searched
there were found in his pockets a box OF
32.calibre cartridges, few pieces of soap
rolled up in paper, some horse chestnuts
and few matches. The revolver he had
previously given up.
He will neither deny nor affirm that
there is another man in the case, but says
time will show. He seems quite cool, but
says he now bitterly repents what he has
done.
Mrs. Mckenzie had left her husband on
accoEnt of his drinking, it is alleged, and
had gone with her children TO live with his
mother, Mrs. Catherine Wood. at Traverse
City. Mckenzie went TO Chicago. A few
days ago she came to visit her relative,
Mrs Freeman, la whose house the shoot
ing occurred. Mckenzie learned OF it and
followed her, not knowing that di-
vorce had been actually applied for. On
Saturday evening he went 10 the house and
asked her TO live with him again, but she
refused, and he swore he would shoot her.
He again asked her to live with her, she
again refused, and drawing the revolver
from his pocket he fired.
