Mary Albright, pretty little woman
who lives beyond Market street bridge,
entertained the idea yesterday that her
husband was paying more attention to
others than to her. Her opinion was
strengthened when Mr.. Albright left
home in the morning and did not return.
Taking possession of a Ratchet she re.
paired to the house of Jonas Guthrie and
demanded that her husband, whom she
asserted was in Guthrie's house, should
be yielded up. Her request was refused,
wbereupon she started in with her ham
mer to demolish the door, with the
view of entering the house to see fcr
herself. Officer Weldin was called and
he placed the woman under arrest. Nc
charge was preferred against her to day
and she was discharged.

While the Esquimaux have far
wider range east and west than any
other race, there is much evidence
that the north and south limits OF
their territory have greatly narrowed.
If the suggestion Of Capt Adams,
that the Smith Sound natives, about
200 in number, be removed to south
Greenland to prevent them from en-.
tirely succumbing to the hardshlps OF
their isolated home, were carried out,
the north and south range OF these
natives would be still further dimin-
ished. We know that the Esqui-
maux once hunted in the northern
part of Grant Land, over 200 miles
north of the present homes Of tho
Smith Sound highlanders. On the
other side Of Baffn's bay the Esqui-
maux not long ago often went to
Cape Sabine, where Greelys party
passed their last winter; but they have
not bcen heard of 80 far north for
some years. On Banks Land Mcclure
found very old remains Of Esquimaux
huts, but the natives south Of Banks
Land had not even any traditions OF
people living SO far north, and the
natives of Wollaston Land, who
would be most likely to 60 there to
hunt, have said they never go north
Of Prince Albert sound, which = TAR

SWORDFiSH KILLING.

How Il Il Carried On by the Block ISL
and and Connecticut Mariners.
There is both money and fun in
sword fishing. A few years ago few

solitary pirate fish Of the ocean; then
smacksmen chased him in their swift
craft for the sport the novel cruise af-
forded to idlers at summer resorts,
who paid 81 q head to see the fisher
men stand up to swordflsh and stick
a harpoon into him. Finally, since
the dietary merits of broiled swordfish
were recognized, swordfshing became
a steady and lucrative vocation.
New London, Stonington and espe-
cially Block island are the home Of
swordfishmen. To open the sword
fishing season it is necessary only for
a smacksman to fix board walk up to
the end of his bowsprit. where little
cage is erected for the harpooner to
stand in and lash long tailed harpoon
along the side of the bowsprit; then he
is ready to cruise. He sails right out
toward the Gulf stream, twenty, thir.
ty or forty miles, near whose tepid
water the swordfish loves to float laz-
lily near the surface, his dorsal fin just
showing above and cutting the water
like the coulter of sod pillow. The
smack swims smoothly up to the fin
and the harpooner drives his long ham
died trident into the big fish. To the
end of the spar is attached by a strong
cord floating bouy, which the har-
pooner lets go overheard as soon as he
strikes the fish. No sooner does the
fish feel the cold steel in his vitals than
he is off in a furious rush into the wide
ocean, dragging along the buoy,
which points out to the fisherman
the course he is taking. The smacks-
men sail after the fish until he tires
himself out; then they will kill him
at their leisure, lift him aboard. and

A Jonesboro (Ga., y correspondent Of
The Atlanta Oonstitution tells this
story on resident called Uncle Rad
Morrow:
On one occasion when Uncle Rad
went on to Virginia with clothing and
home cooked rations for the boys, he
did not get there until late in the eve
ming and found the Tenth Georgia in
line of battle, 80 he concluded to stay
all night with the regiment, as he had
frequently done.
That night about midnight the
''long rolf' sounded, and the alarm
was given that the Federals were ad-
vancing by thousands; couriers and
aids were dashing hither and yon or
dering all hands to look out and be
ready to advance at q moments no
tice. Uncle Rad was in dilemma,
but soon took in the situation. He
called Justify for gun and cartridge
box; they were furnished him, but in
the intense excitement of the moment
he found the belt was too short to
reach around him and then he
thought that he could wear It over his
shoulders like an old fashioned coon
skin shot bag.
This he did, and it drew the box Of
cartridges close up to his ermpits. 90
that he would have to mount stump
on tiptoe to get his handto it. At last
he got himself rugged as p soldier, and
Strengthening himself 4, his fiji sig
feet two, with sigh b said. ''Now,
let 'em come"
The boys say that il was false
alarm; at least the Federals did not
come, and Uncle Rad sffrns to this
day that it was because they got wind
somehow that he was in line with the
bloody Tenth, and by being there he
saved the boys hard fight.
