Fisherman Betti.on's Big Bite.

]. Smith, proprietor of the Georgia
house, and /. S. Bettison, from Ash
land, Neb., were fishing at the long
dock at Punta Gorda, when a fish got
on the line held by Mr.. Bettison that
fairly made his hair stand on end.
When he felt him on the line, the
other men being some distance away,
he thought he would quietly draw his
game in and surprise the Others, but
the harder he pulled the more the fish
went the other way. Finally he yelled
for help, and Smith says Bettison's
eyes were as big as saucers when he
came up. To make the exciting story
short they held TO the fish until he
came TO the top and then finished his
career with a ball from Winchester
rife. 1t was a monster "Jew" fish,
measuring 6 feet inches in length,
weighing 292 pounds, and is one OF
largest fish of the kind caught in the
bay for some time.-Savannah News.

anxiety at the delay, and proposed a

had given pledge that he would moi
remove meritorious subordinates from

Drinking Beer in Bavaria.

"While travelling. in Germany and Ba
varia during the past summer l was much
interested in watching the people drink
beer" said Ralph L. Shainwald Of New
York SIN Bavaria there was keg of beer
on the platform Of every station. When the
tram stopped there was grand rush to get
at the key. Each man carried his own glass.
After drinking all he could before the train
started the beer drinker filed his glass to
the brim and carried it into the car. After
the glass was emptied it was set upon the
window sill of the car. All along the whole
length of the train on both sides these
glasses sat on the window sills, silent me-
mentoes of the bibulous tastes of the passen-
gers on the train. At ons station saw the
train delayed for five minutes because the keg
was empty. A full one had to be procured
before Q passengers would resume their
seats in the coaches" Mr.. Shainwald said
that each glass Contained a pint, ana that
the cost was about the equivalent OF 2
cents. AS an example of German beer
capacity in Munich, Mr.. Shainwald said
the beer was served in glasses nearly one
foot tall and containing nearly one quart.
An American friend OF the traveller tackled
one of these glasses and managed to stow it
away after half an hours hard work. A
corpulent German sitting near showed his
Contempt for this feat by pointing to the
half empty glass in front of him, and ex-
claiming: "Das ist mein acht und EVAN

From the Baltimore american.


Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is at it again.
She is after the scalps of certain New York
theatrical managers The "Poetess of Pas
sion" without calling names, max some
serious en- 1rges against the managers of
theaters there, and of theatrical companies
wi b headquarters there, to the effect that
promotion among the attractive female
members of company is often based-not
upon merit, but upon the applicants willing
ness to become the personal fsvorlte of the
manager himself, who is usually married
man, and often a man Of family.
These charges have been made before, but
in the latest case they are backed up by the
testimony of Mrs. Wilcox herself, who
knows girls who have left managers offices
in tears and without promotion, although
deserving it, because they were too good
for the manager. To such as these Mrs
Wilcox points as a cause of the wickedness
wrought among attractive women who
undertake to lift up or elevate the stage
1t is now the turn of the New York man
ayers TO say something in denial, but 1t is
not thought that they will make any elab-
crate statements in rebuttal of Mrs. Will
cox's emphatic testimony.

What 1t Costs the Government to
Wind and Set Its Clocks.
From the Omaha World Herald.

AA0 -Sb 40 OAONGDs
Prom the Omaha World Herald.
1t costs Uncle Sam thousands Of dollars a
year to have his clocks wound. Every
Monday morning You SEQ men going about
the departments carrying little ladders, like
those used by lamp-lighters. Their business
is to wind and keep in order the clocks in
the departments. Each man has his own
department or a section of the department
TO look altar the clocks, and this is his sole
business. In some places men are employed
by the month for this purpose, while
in other cases the contract Is let
by the month or year to some enter
prising clock repairer, who sends a
''journeymann around TO wind the clocks,
ami see whether they are in order and then
goes himself to make such repairs as are
necessary. The cost of winding and caring
for the clocks in the departments runs at
the rate of SIS to 500 a month in each
department. There are in the treasury
department nearly 400 clocks. Some Of
these are expensive ones and cost away up
in the hundreds Of dollars, though the aver
age value of departmental clocks is not
more than perhaps SIS or $50 apiece. A
good many of the clocks Ia the halls of the
public bulldogs and also those in the rooms
occupied by the heads of departments are
very valuable, costing away up in the
hundreds
