CATCHING GOLDFISH.
A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF
THEIR CAPTURE.

The Trip Was Better for Sick Man Than
Six Months of DOctoring- Handling the
Shining Beauties from the ''Kid'' to the
Salted Pile.
On the right and left of the fisherman
as he stands at the rail are pegs driven
into and extending some two inches above
the rail. These are the ''pull hobbies" for
the lines to run against A small cleat is
attached to the bulwark, to which the
line is made fast, each man having two
lines, one at each hand. A small pen or
"kid" is built against the side of the
vessel near each mans fishing berth into
which the fish are thrown when taken
from the hook and larger one called the
"gurry kid" is built amidships for the re-
ception of the offal from the dressing
down tables Two large butts are lashed
to the bulwarks amidships into which the
cod livers are thrown and left to ''try
OUT of their own accord, the oil being
drawn off now and then as occasion re-
quires from spigot near the bottom OF
the butt. Everything is now ready and
I commence fishing.
BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Two or three partly picked CLAIMS are
placed on each hook and the leads are
then thrown over the side and soon l
feel them thump on the bottom. The
lines are then drawn in about three feet
and made fast to the cleats. Now |
stand with ''nippers" on my hands and
arrayed in my barvil, or long oilcloth
apron, and grasping one line in each
hand ''saw" them back and forth alter
nately against the pull bobbles, thus
striving to entice the inny beauties to
take my bait
Soon "a dispatch is sent from the bot
tom of the Atlantic up along my hempen
telegraph that some poor victim has par
taken of his last meal and, dropping the
other line, l quickly haul in hand over
hand and soon have my first fish over
the rail and into the kid.
Batting my hook once more / throw
the lead overheard and while it is run
ming down, grasp the other line and
find that this too has secured prize.
Surely this is getting exciting, and as l
pulled in our second line, it's dripping
coils formed graceful circles on the little
platform at my feet. forgot that was
ever an invalid and our whole thought
was centered on the one idea of dis
covering whether I have one or two cod
fish at the end of that line. 1t surely
draws more steadily and with less furry
than did the first one, and as the lead
shoots up through the sparkling water l
discover that both hooks are treasure
laden, and with loud and joyful hurrah
lean over the rail
Talk about pills and boluses to quick
en- sluggish circulationl That last haul
really did me more good than all the
drugs I had taken for the past six
months.
LIKE A LARGE SLAUGHTER HOUSE.
The fish were all gathered from the
several kids and thrown into the one
amidships which adjoins the ''gurry
kid" The dressing table is then set up
against the side of the latter, and, TAX
ing our several positions, we are ready
for action.
Our throater, Lowell by name, stands
facing the dressing kid and, reaching
down, seizes fish with his left hand,
the thumb grasping the under jaw and
lifting him. places the back Of the hshs

FROM THE LAKE CITY.

Mr.. Gran Vile Still Very nI-Cheap

Election Last Friday-MayOr Mace
Reelected.
[From our Regular Correspondent
Paul Long shot fine deer the other
day.
Mr.. Hurst calls his place Mount Breeze
Farm.
Mr.. DeLand's horse is in fair way of
recovery.
The indications are that the oranges
are going to split badly.
There was cheap excursion to the
coast on Sunday-50 cents the round
trip.
Mr.. Granville's illness has taken the
form of pneumonia. He is still very i'll,
as is also dear little Edith.
Mr.. Hurst lost a valuable cow some
DAYS ago. She waded into the muck
pond, and sank SO deep in the mud that
she was drowned.
Mrs. Maring has spent most of the
summer at Harrison, near Cincin natl,
where her child was buried. She is now
visiting in Chicago.
Mr.. Westlake, in letter in Life, ad-
vocates the loaning or appropriation OF
money by the town council, for the re-
pair and refurnishing ofthe school-house.
Why not?
Efforts are being made to induce J. q.
Coon, senior editor of Life, to remain in
Scranton and take charge of one of the
leading papers. We hope they will not
succeed. Mr.. Coon is man we don't
want to lose.
Republicans condemn the selection of
the new school board in emphatic terms.
Democrats say but little, but keep up a
"deal of thinking" Such appointments
are we'll calculated to help the party
the other party.
Our people thought they had chosen a
school supurvisor, but the recommends
ton was not in the exact form required
by the new county school board, though
it was in exact compliance with the re-
quest of the county superintendent. So
the whole bother must be gone over
again. And it is so throughout the
county. NO00 UuC pdCrOuS \pdr0uGS OF
guardians) are to participate in the
choice of supervisor, and the names OF
all participating must be given in the
recommendation.
If there is anything dear to our people
--all our people--it is our public schools,
and the management of them should be
kept clear of partisan politics. In some
States the county superintendent is
chosen by convention of local school
directors, which is much better than the
Florida plan of making it political of
fee. So too, the Board of Public In
struction, charged with the management
of all the schools, should be chosen on
account of their fitness for the place, not
on account of their skill in managing
elections.
The election passed off very quietly On
Friday. Not much interest was mani
tested, except among the colored voters,
who had two candidates for marshal.
The result was excellent: Mayor, J. P.
Mace (re-elected) clerk and treasurer, c..
p. Russell collector, w. d. Sheldon ire
elected; marshal, B. HI. Blaine; alder
men, A. HI. Pelton (re-elected), Rev. E.
Macy, j. X. Hazel. The election of Rev.
E. Macy as alderman is eminentlv fit.

whether he or Mount Rainier came

He lays no claim to be a public speak

not generally known that he is mar

lady friends, but may be of service to
him. Mr.. Stiles is a native of Ohio
about 40 years of age, tall, of COM
manding presence, and with counte-
nance portraying high degree OF cul-
ture. He stands in the front rank of
his profession, having large and lu-
crative practice at Tacoma. Being a
clear thinker and an unusually fine
speaker, in fact, one of the few ora

speaks he has the ear of his fellow
members. He will make his impress

Some men can run hotel, others
can run steamboat, others still can
run farm; but the greatest achieve
ment OF all is to know how to run a
sailing craft 1t is said to be essential
to absolute perfection in the last
named art that man should be an
Ex-Governor. AS Governor, he learns
how to command, and large residuum
of this power remains with him after
the official scepter has departed. We
hear it said that our jolly friend, ex-
Governor Semple, intends soon to open
school in this city to teach the sail
ing art. His pupils will be taught
that wharfs and piles are no obstruc-
tons to navigation; that it is an easy
matter to run over them or through
them, and what may seem to be nau-
tical paradox, that it is not absolutely
necessary to loosen the downhaul'
in raising sail. Call on the Professor
and listen to his graphic description of
his last achievement in this line. You
will find as you listen that truth is in
deed stranger than fiction.
Mrs William l.. Clancey died at the
residence of her son, Capt. Charles E.
Clancey, of Tacoma, on Friday, July
18th, aged Is years. The funeral will
be held in that city to morrow, Sunday,
at nine o'clock A. NJ, and the remains
will be brought to this city on the
steamer North Pacific, in the after
noon for interment in the Masonic
cemetery Deceased may truly be said
to have been one of the olden-time res
ilents of Olympia. She and her hus-
band. accompanied by two sons, Chas.
and William, came here more than a
quarter of a century ago. Mr.. Clan
cey died about the year 1865, and
since that time the widow has lived
with her chillren in this city and Ia
coma. She was a woman possessing
rare intellectual and social qualities,
shedding a halo of light wherever she
went. Widely and favorably known
throughout the Sound country and
Eastern Washington, her death will
be deeply regretted in the communi-
ties in which she has for so many years
mingled.

CAPTAIN Gil Parker, who has beer
running the T. J Potter on the Sound
came round with the steamer yesterday
the result Of wager. The timid steam
boat men on the Sound look upon trip
out through the straits as something aw'
ful to contemplate. Some of these Of
fered to bet Parker wine supper that
he dare not come round, and as he wished
to get few pointers on gilt-edge steam
boating, as it is done on the Columbia,
he accepted. Captain Parker is one OF
the Youngest and most skillfuI steamboat
men on the Sound, and like the Colum-
bia captains, logan as deck-hand,-
astoria Pioneer.
The idea that Puget Sound skipper
would go to the Columbia river to get
pointers on navigation causes ripple
of merriment to run all over the us
ually placid surface of Whulge. Gil
won the wine, however, not that he
dare not go across the Columbia bar,
but because it was thought he was so
welded to the grand Inland Sea he
would consider a trip to fresh water a
sacrifice of the dignity of true salt.
McCloud, who made the banter, will
have to stand the wine.
