Near the EmnYreaIl.

A young bridal couple in the ordi-
nary at the Ebbitt House presented the
most abiect case of goneness ever seen,
even in that retreat for callow con-
pubiality. They had a great time over
the bill of fare and kept their heads
so close together, and looked so Ian
guishingly and yearnfully into each
others eyes, and showed such alarm
ing symptoms Of approaching oscula-
tion that crustv bachelor, who, with
dozen other people was enjoying the
scene, remarked, soto Uoce, that they
had better skip the breakfast and &c
into the private parlor or back to their
room Their conversation ran like this
You order something, Baby"
NO, you order"
"No, you"
mo, you
Then came moro yearnful looks that
were enough to lift human souls out Of
their sockets by the roots. Then more
of the same kind of talk
At last "Baby" suggested ice-cream,
and that was settled upon. Then the
"you order, "no, you order" soulful
chances were all gone through with
again over The question of what TO
drink, and at last, of all imaginable
drinks Suggested by HIM, cider was
decided upon.
And so the wedding breakfast con-
sisted of ice-cream and cider.
1t might have been anything else or
nothing else They were too near the
empyrean to consider base grub.

OUR FOOD FISH.
Work Laid Out for the Fish Commission
New Hatcheries.

WASHINGTON, May 9Th To an Associated
Press reporter to-day, Colonel Mcdonald
Fish Commissioner, set forth the plans pro-
posed by him for the summer. At the re-
quest of the Ohio Fish Commission the
United States Commission this spring added
to its regular programme distribution OF
pike perch. commonly called pickerel.
About S0,000 600 eggs were secured and
hatched and these are now being planted
in the waters of Illinois, Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania. A trip of the distributing
car to Illinois is reported to have been one
of the most successful ever made. The
distribution of shad eggs and fry is being
conducted from several hatcheries in the
East. A car will leave Washington to-
morrow on its second trip to the South
with 100000 eggs, going direct to Mont
gomery, Ala, whence the distribution to
local streams will be made
During the summer cars will be engaged
in the collecting and planting of indigenous
fishes in the Mississippi valley, in the
States of Nebraska, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana,
and Missouri, and new hatcheries are to be
located at Put-in-bay island in Lake Erie,
which will be the largest fish hatch ery in
the world, having capacity of 500 ,OOO, 900
eggs per year. Also. at Evergreen lake,
Colorado, and Baird's Point, California.
Several steamers attached to the Commits
sion have their summers work laid out for
them, and it is of great importance. The
Albatross will leave San Francisco about
June 1st, going as far as the Privilow
islands in Behring sea, where study will
be made of the seal fisheries, in accordance
with resolution of Congress adopted last
session, as well as of the general fisheries
along the Southern Alaska peninsula. On
the way up the Albatross will leave q party
of investigators in Alaska, who will exam
inc into the salmon fisheries there under
the terms of another Congressional resolu-

Palmer Likely to be Public Printer-Cla,
spreckeIs and the President.

faImer Likely Co De PubliC Prtnter-Claue
spreckeIs and the President.
WASHINGTON, May 6th.-As stated in
these dispatches last night, the belief is
very strong that the present week will be
prolific with appointments of all kinds.
Politicians who have seen the President
lately, and especially those who conversed
with him to-day, believe that number of
the more important, but heretofore ne
Among them is the First Comptroller of
the Treasury, the Solicitor of that depart
ment, Second Con, ptroller, Second and
Third Assistant Secl aries of State, Chief
of the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing,
and the Public Partnership. The first two
places are generally accredited TO A. C.
Matthews of Illinois and j. s. Ray of Ohio,
respectively.
As to the other places opinions differ.
Meredith is here hustling for the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and believes he
will get it, while Palmer, who was at the
White House to-day, seems confident of his
success as to being Public Printer Owing
to the fact that the Illinois delegation is
very much disgruntled over not being rec
ognlzed by having the men whom they
wanted appointed, the belief is that the
President will give them both of these
places as panacea for their trouble, and it
would be.
On the subject of the Public Printer the
Star tonight says: The Public Printer
puzzle, too, has reached that point where
1t can hardly be regarded as difficult of So
luton. Washington has been very much
excited over that matter, and the merits
and dement's of the various and numerous
candidates have been pretty thoroughly
discussed. Who would be appointed was
as much of mystery as the identity of
that puglllstic gentleman who was alleged
to have struck one William Patterson.
Suddenly the name of Frank w.
Palmer arose to the surface, and hum
dreds of office-seekers who had allied
themselves toSthe candidates already in the
field fastened to find out who knew Palmer
and where he was from. He comes from
Chicago, and was not an applicant for the
position, but he has evidently been asked
if he would like to succeed Benedict. He
was at the White House this morning. ac-
companied by editor Frank Hatton. and
together they went into the library to talk
the subject over with the President. Now
everybodyis is waiting to hear the announce
ment OF the signing of Palmer's commits
sion."
An evening paper says that visitors were
scarce at the White House to-day. The
Postmaster General had as his guest Claus
Spreckels, whom he wanted to present to
the President. When the two gentlemen
reached the White House the President was
holding a public reception in the East
Room, and both hurried together to catch
him before he went to luncheon. The
sugar king is not much taller than the Pre-
sident, and is about the same built, al
though his face is more ruddy and his chin
whiskers white. Mr.. Spreckels was not
after an office, but desired that the Admin
istration send the right kind of man to
Hawaii.

Romantic Marriage of q Wealthy Baltf-
MORGAN to "a School Cnmnaninn


PHILADELPHIA, May 6th-This city has
been treated TO most romantic marriage.
The couple were DR.. J. G. B. Berger, of
Baltimore, son of wealthy brewer of
that city, and Miss Nellie Smythe, of this
city. The bride is beautiful girl of nine
teen. She is the daughter of poor brick
layer.
Over ten years ago the young couple were
school companions in this city. They be-
came fondly attached 10 each other, but
were soon parted, young Berger being
obliged to return 10 his home in Baltimore.
He then went to college and graduated last
summer. But he never forgot his little
school companion.
After travelling in Europe last summer
he wrote letter to the Postmaster of this
city, asking if he knew of any young lady
living here by the name of Miss Nellie
Smythe.
Receiving an affirmative answer, he came
to this city and hunted up his old school
friend. They agreed to get married on the
oath of last month. After the ceremony
the couple went 10 Baltimore, and were
given reception by the father of the BRIDE
groom and also magnificent residence in

Agent Roman Said to Infiict Inhuman
Punishments

HELENA M. T), May 6th-Arlee the
venerable chief OF the Flathead tribe OF
Indians, makes serious complaint against
the management of affairs under Agent
Roman, who has been in charge of the
reservation for number of years, object
ing to the methods of punishment en-
ployed. He made complaint about these
things some months ago, but the same in
humsn forms of punishment seem to be
still in vogue as authorized.
According TO his statement, last week an
Indian who had broken Jail was hung up
by his hands and kept there for forty-eight
hours. An Indian woman, who is sup
posed TO have deserted her husband. was
given 40 lssnes, and is now lying in a pre-
carious condition, and her recovery is ex-
tremely doubtful
Chief Arlee wants all offenders to be
justly punished, but not in this inhuman
and barbaric manner. He wants them
punished just as white people are pun
ished, no more and no less.

+. H. Bell, of Bloomfield, Nevada coun-
ty, a leading lumberman of that county
and also having interests in Mendocino,
and George M. Hill, of this city, have con-
tracted with the Thompson-Houst Elec-

reach here by the middle of June. They
expect to be in full operation by the first

dwellings, that will bring the light into
close competition with kerosene lamps.
We congratulate the company and the
community on the near advent of city
lights at reasonable rates.

wATERBURY'S CIRCUS.
One Performance of the New York Dudes
Cost S3O,OOO

New YORK, May 6th.-Mr. Waterbury's
amateur circus is estimated to have cost
$50 900. Five trained horses are but a
small item. The programme cost small
fortune. and Lander and the Hungarian
Band cost more than trifie. The cos
tunes of the performers and supers were
all presented to them by Mr.. Waterbury,
and he even made the best people in the
show presents of the silk tights used, cost
ing $50 set, being of the finest silk. To
show the lavish way in which everything
was done, it may be said that on Friday
morning Mr.. Waterbury found out that the
riders in the quadrille had not duplicate
hunting caps. A telegram was sent to
town for eight similar sllver-mouDted caps
to be sent at once, and they arrived in
time.
