A FRANKFORT LADY's CATCH.

The Biggest Fish Ever Taken by Reel
and Rod the Prize of Mrs. Stage.
Fort MYERS. FLA, May 7.-Mr. and
Mrs. George 7. Stage of Frankfort, KY,
are here in their naptha launch fishing for
tarpon. Saturday afternoon Mrs. Stage
hooked a tarpon, and after hard and gallant
fight of one hour and twenty-five minutes
brought to gaff and secured 205- pound
tarpon, the largest silver king ever caught
with rod and reel, or in any other manner,
for that matter. When the news was first
known the citizens hardly believed it, and
in this town. where tarpon have ceased to
be novelty, crowds were going and coming
all day to view the king. Its length was
seven feet three inches, and it girted four
feet two inches. Mrs. Stage is justly proud
OF her achievement, and declares she will
try and beat her own record. The largest
tarpon caught with rod and reel heretofore
known weighed 1874 pounds, and was caught
in 1888 by John G. Hectucher of Missouri
at st. James City.

POKER IN A DUGOUT.
An Interesting Game of Draw with
Simple Dakota Hayseed.

An Interesting Game of Draw with a
Simple Dakota Hayseed.
1t was about ten years ago that took a
trip through the west with party of Kan
sas City men, says a writer in the Times of
that city. Several weeks were spent in Da-
kota in the summer of 1881. One day the
four members of our party were driving
along a trail few miles from Yankton,
when we espied a 'dugout" OFF to the
north of the trail. We decided to alght
and have chat with the settler, who was
seated on the roof of his humble abode
with his feet on the ground. To the uniui~
tiated this would seem strange, but these
houses are four-flfths under ground, and
contain about SIS worth OF lumber, two
rooms aud thousand centipedeS
Upon the invitation of Mr.. Jones, the set
tier, we entered mis- abode, where he intro
duced as to his wife. Brown, one of our
party, suggested right in the midst OF our
conversation on the crops that we play a
game OF seven~up. The scheme met with ap-
proval, and We played several games. Jones
didn't seem to know much about the game.
After awhile another of our party-Tll call
him Johnson-leaned over to me and said /:
Jim, you reckon this hayseed could have
dollar or two about hing 1t wasn't long
before johnson asked Mr.. Jones if he ever
played poker. Jones said: oval, gentlemen,
l do play now an then, and wouldn't
mind dealin' few hands O. poker.n They
began playing penny ante,n and the old
man won about a dollar at it. didn't play,
but johnson, who is now United States
senator, put up good game generally, and
did not like to be beaten, even for dollar.
He proposed making a jackpot 1t was
made. No one could open it without pair
of jacks or better. Three deals were made
before any one could open 1t. johnson
finally said: AS it was progressive he
had to have at least pair of kings" He
bet 50, and Jones raised him So, but the
others dropped out of the game. S'manthy,
the settlers wife. saw S6 on the table and
said; ZONES, do wish you would quit a
foolin' with them keards." Jones said (:
Never mind. old woman, two pairs is purity
good" So the betting went on until Jones

she made her will, which bestowed

The Philadelphia Ledger tells one
part of the reason why the Repub-
lican party will be held responsible
for the lootihg of the city and State
treasures:
The defalcation and the loss oil
public money to the city and State
and the manifcstly wretched fiscal
system and practice in both State
and city as TO State funds, all
come to light while Republican in
cumbents are in charge of all the
fiscal Offices and while the legisla
ton of the State on all these subjects
has been for u generation in almost
uninterrupted control of the Repub-
lican organization.
There is vast amount of truth
in this, but still more remains to be
told. The party that follows Quay
and teaches the doctrine that the
public is quarry for the smart
breeds Beardsicys, Wanamakers

THE NEXT spEAKRRsmrP.
Wilson, OF West Virginia. the Most Dam
gerous Rival OF Crisp and Mills.

eoi""S hi'Ii oI trfSp ana NILS.
WASHINGTON, July 2l.--The
recent visit of Congressman C. f.
Crisp to New York appears to have
greatly strengthened the confidence
of his friends in the success of his
candidacy for the Speakership.
They believe that if the nomina-
tions were TO be made Immediately
he would certainly be chosen to
preside over the new Congress.
They do not claim that the whole
of the New York delegation is for
Mr.. Crisp. On the contrary they
concede that McMiIlin, Wilson, of
West Virginia. and Mills, have
warm supporters among New
Workers, but when the time comes
to act the delegation will get
together in favor of one candidate,
and the chances of uniting on the
Georgian are most favorable.
Mr.. Wilson. of West Virginia is
thought to be the most dangerous
rival of the two leading candidates
Crisp and Mills. His popularity,
ability and geographical location
give him great strength as dark
horse, and in the event that Mills
can't win, it is said he wRissaes his
utmost TO help Wilson to beat Crisp,
whose aspirations to reach the
Speakers chair has done most to
put the honor beyond the reach of
the Texas leader. The political
gossips say that Bynum, of Indiana,
is not really in the race, and while
McMillen and Springer will have a
good following, it has been appar-
ent from the beginning that they
cannot hope for more support than to
cntitle them to first. rate Chairman
ships of committees. However,
their respective careers in Congress
have won them the right to expect
high consideration, whoever may
be elected Speaker.
The candidates for the Clerkship
are ex- Congressman James Kerr, of
Pennsylvania, who managed the
last campaign in which Pattison
was elected Governor; ex Congress-
man Charles Gibson, of Maryland,
who was rated as the handsomest
man in the last Congress, and ex-
Congressman Clark, of Missouri,
who was the Clerk of the House in
the Forty eighth, Forty ninth and
Fiftieth Congresses. Mr. Kerr APP.
pears to havc the lead of his com
pctitors, but the filing of this office
and those of Sergeant at Arms,
Doorkeeper and Postmaster will
depend to some extent upon what
part of the country gets the Speak
ership. For each OF these offices
there are several candidates, who
arc putting in great deal of hard
work for themselves and for their
favorites for the Speakersiiip.

Great Object-Lesson.

"The American people have had
three months of free sugar." says
the Presidents home organ, "and
they have revealed in it; the result
has been a great increase in the con-
sumption of sugar and a corresponds
ing increase to the comfort of the
people"
1t has come to pass that pretty
much all the boasting of the friends
of the Mckinley Bill is now con-
fined to the removal of the tax on
sugar and to the reciprocity pro.
vision for a freer trade. The hun
dreds of increased duties-that
characteristic feature of the law
they rarely mention.
The people do indeed "revcl'' in
untaxed sugar. And they have not
failed to observe that the reduction
in price corresponds very closely to
the reduction in the duty. Even
the dullest have learned that the
tariff was tax.
The people would also be glad to
"revel' in untaxed clothing, food,
fuel and shelter. Reasoning from
free sugar they learn that untaxing
necessaries cheapens them and leads
10 increased consumption and "a
corresponding increase to the COM
fort of the people"
"Three months of free sugar
have proved a valuable object-lesson
in the campaign of education.-N

VIM. L. Wilson, of West Virginia
is prominently mentioned in con
nection with the speakcrship of the
next congress. 1t is believed that
should Mills find himself unable to
win in his contest with Crisp for
that position the Texas Congress
man will throw his strength to
Wilson and that this, with his own
strength and popularity, will elect
him. OF course no reliable predic-
tons can be made as the contest
now stands, but Mr.. Wilson's par
liamentary knowledge, scholarly
attachments and great ability would
make him an ideal speaker and his
selection as such would be a deserved
honor.
