DIPLOMATS RESORT TO Blows

Members OF the Spanish Legation Rescue
Their French Brethren From Peril.
PARIS, Aug. 18-Further details of the
insult offered to the French Minister to
Morocco aud the Secretary of the French
Legation by Moorish soldiers show that the
incident occurred while they were riding on
the beach . short distance from Tangier.
After they had been attacked by the
soldiers the Secretary struck one Of the
Moors, whereupon the latter drew knives
The outcome of the affair would probably
have been very serious had it not been that
at that moment several members of the
Spanish Legation arrived on the scene and
rescued the Minister and Secretary. The
soldiers took to flight, and as yet there is
no trace of their identity.

JUDGMENT AGAINST JOHN L.

For S365 Duo . Man He Once Had EN-

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-[SpecsaI IA judg-
ment for 1866 against John L. Sullivan was
recorded to-day in Brooklyn. The man who
got the Judgment was John 7. vallette, of
Brooklyn. Vallette says that in
1889 he became interested in q
combination that the champion
and Jack Barnett we're going to
take on the road, and was engaged as ad-
vance and press agent He transacted con-
siderable business for the show, which,
however, was only in embryo shape, when
John L. suddenly renewed his acquaintance
with the flowing cup. With the star at
traction on the rampage there was nothing
left for Barnett and Vallette to do but give
up the enterprise.
vallette asked Sullivan repeatedly to re-
imburse him for his monetary loss, but all
be received was empty promises from the
big fellow. While Sullivan was playing in
Brooklyn, Q couple Of months ago, papers
were served upon him to appear in court
and show cause why he should not settle
claims made by his old advance agent. He
was to appear in court the next day after

LIFE on A WATER FARM.
There Is Profit in Raising Fish and Frogs
for Market.

ETnRa
for Market
1t has not been many years since water
farming was added to the possibilities of
"agriculture'' in Indiana. It began as a
diversion. 1t has become a business.
Enough time has now elapsed to demon
strate that water farming may be made
practicable and proftable-at least as prof
liable as some other rural occupation, and
more enticing than the ordinary life of an
fgriculturist As much money can be
made off an acre of water as off au acre of
land, including well located fish and frog
ponds on the one hand and ordinary farm
Ing on the other.
One of the pioneers of water farming In
Indiana is Mr.. Joseph Manlove, of Milton.
Seven years ago he bought small piece OF
low land lying between the White Water
canal and White Water river He deter
mined to flood the low land and to add to
his possessions the adjoining high land for
park purposes. His place now includes
fourteen acres of water and twenty-one OF
land. His business is largely with the
water and only incidentally with the dry
iand. His first purpose was to establish q
carp pond, from which the fish market
might be supplied. This was accomplished
in two years with comparative ease. Now
be has practically an unlimited quantity
OF this variety of fish. However, the pub
lie taste also calls for bass, and Manlove
determined to add this variety to his sup
ply. His lake is now stocked with vast
supply of black bass. They have grown
finely, and bass fishing will be put on the
market" Bass promise SO much better
than carp that Farmer Manlove uses his
young carp as food for his bass.
Still another department" has been add
ed to the "farm"-frogs. Four acres of
shallow water, we'll grown in flags, were
set apart rs breeding place for frogs
They breed and grow rapidly. Four thou
sand tadpoles were put into this breeding
pen. Many of them are now of a market
able size, and are worth $3.50 and So a
dozen. In catching them for market a
light at night is used They stare ut the
light, and can be caught and handled with
case in its glare. In catching large guam
titles of carp the lake is drained off In
winter the marketable fish are kept in
small ponds.
1t is interesting to observe the water
farmer at his work. He can use a horse
for side purposes, but be needs neither.
plow, planter nor reaper. Suppose he has
gone out to feed. He has with him mid
dlings or other grain. He goes to the breed
ing pond, sounds gong or blows a whistle
and thousands of frogs come hopping from
their shelter. They eat the food ravenous-
ly, and become so tame that the farmer
handles them as woman does her pet
chickens. The same food is just the thing
for young and old carp. Fish and frogs
take to grain and grain products" said
Mr.. Manlove, like boy does to apple
dumping. Part of the season it is not
necessary to feed my stock at all. The
water grass seeas make the finest food for
fish, and at certain times of the year |
rarely prepare fish for the table that
do not find him filled with grass seed ~

A Clever Method of Stealing.

johnson called and, giving his name
was of course allowed to wait in Mr..
Grey's apartments. which he de-
nuded of everything of portable
value" in ten minutes, and then
walked out, observing as he passed
the porter, that he could wait no
longer. Except from a moral stand
