Nardshlps OF q Fisherman,s Life.

The Gloucester fishermen sail away full
of hope and with a full larder. Arrived
on the grounds they anchor in about forty
or fifty fathoms, and set their travis.
These are long lines, anchored on the bot
tom, and extending out from the schooner
many hundreds of yards. To these at in
tervals of fathom (the distance varies
for different fish, are attached shorter
lines. These lines have to be attended in
doraes, each containing two men, who
haul, bait and land the fish in the boat to
be transferred to the schooner. Herein lie
the danger and hardship, for the strong
tides of the banks and the shoal water pile
up great combing seas. The cold is cruel
and the work hard. Suddenly down comes
fog, not the soft mist of summer or au-
tumn, but thick, heavy bank, soaked
through with the penetrating cold of the
icebergs farther north. Horns are blown
from the vessel, but every year many dories
are lost.
One would think that common sense, il
not law, would make each dory carry a
breaker of water and pilot bread, but none
does, and either experience does not teach or
the fishermen like such chances, for year
after year comes the same old story of
lost dory and two men starved or dead Of
thirst. When the fog lifts they are many
miles from their schooner, and are carried
by the swift tides they know not whittier.
Then come days of hunger and thirst,
hands are frozen to the oars, madness
haunts them, and then-death. Some
times they make land or are picked up
by passing vessel, in which case they
often return before their own schooner,
but that great happiness is rare. Then
their vessel, which so gayly sailed out past
the light, comes home with her flag at half
mast.-R. Cleveland Coke in Century.

Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Sept. 22.-The Repub-
lican Central club rendered Hon. A.
J. Rosenthal a reception at their hall
tonight and elected him an honorary
member of the club. He in few
brief remarks extended his thanks to
the clu b for the honor conferred, but
stated thai he must be excused from
making a speech as he had agreed
with the Hon. Walter Gresham
to meet him in joint de-
bate at this and various
points in this congressional district.
Rosenthal, who has been here for the
past few days looking over the field,
is the Republican candidate for con-
gress from this (the Tenth) district,
and he returns to his home in the
morning. He feels much encouraged
at the outlook and speaks confidently
of carrying the district by from $500
1000 majority, while Gresham feels
equally confident of election by 5000
majority. They will open their joint
discussion at Hallettsville on October
5. These joint discussions will take
place in the various counties in the
district.

Card Playing Among the Ancient jews.

Card Playing Among the Ancient jews.
do not know If the Jews were the in.
ventors of card playing, but credit in that
matter is given to them by some researches,
and l am sure that the ancient Hebrews
were passionately fond of gambling. Isaiah
laments with the words, "Woe to those
who are preparing a table to Cad" For-
tune, or the god of the gamblers), "and
they fill drink to Meni" (the paying teller,
probably the banker; meni meaning in
Hebrew to number). To what game the
venerable seer is alluding, whether to the
royal baccarat or to the common poker, !
do not know. But it is a matter of fact
that at the time of the first temple every
Jewish home was Monte Carlo as regards
betting and gambling. = Boston Tran.

Poor Chollie.

Mrs. Younghusband, like every young
wife, was very proud of her experiments
in the art of cooking. One evening Chollie
was asked to stay to supper, and it was one
of the proudest moments in her life when
Mrs Younghusband handed him the plate
of piping hot tea biscuit.
'You must really tell me what you think
of them," she said, ''for l made them my
self"
''They are delicious" replied Chollie, in
vain attempt to say the proper thing.

The Filling In Of tho Harlem.

modified plan for filling in large part
OF the Harlem River was brought before
the Commissioners Of the Sinking Fund
yesterday. It would doubtless affect very
materially certain real estate interests
which are not specified and which we have
no means of Identifying: but it has decided
merits and 1t should receive the most care
full consideration.
Any intelligent plan that In part or In
whole will do away with the Harlem River
and give relief to the city on its northern
boundary deserves earnest attention. The
scheme presented yesterday Is most in
struotive in the light that 1t sheds upon the
true nature Of the alleged Harlem ship
canal and the other Harlem interests Of
purely private nature. in behalf Of which
the growth OF the whole city Of New York
is throttled and arrested.

We ought to have something Of this kind. at

Christmas Day Is pious holiday: New

WAsH1SGToN's Birthday and the Fourth OF

Term held In effect that IL any estate could
not bo appraised Immediately after testa-
tors death the appraisal could not he post-
