HOW TO CATCH FISH
Alexander Starbeck, the Veter-
an Angler, Discusses
The ART OF FLY FISHING
The Men Who Use Bait for the Sake q
Catching More Fish Are Be-
ccming FEWER.

Alexander starheck of Cincinnati,
one OF the best known lovers of ang-
ling IA the United states. was a guest
at the Morton yesterday on his way
home from the north. Mr.. starbeek
has written much on the subject near
est his heart, aud bis contributions to
Forest and Stream" are eagerly read
by every expert disciple of Isaac Wal
tons art. To reporter for TIKI HER-
AID yesterday, Mr.. staroeeS said: Il
have been enjoying my usual fishing
trip To the north. / formerly spent
the summer fishing for bass IN Lake
Erie, but dunng the past few years |
have come 10 fish Tor trout aad find
enjoy that more than anything else.
Michigan has become great state Tor
hsn. | think there are more trout IN
Is streams than were ten years ago
when first began 10 cast fly IN the
/ northern rivers and creeks. The
game laws and the application
OF the state fish commission have
worked wonders in keeping
the stream stocked, and today there is
scarcely "A brook IN the state that does
not contain Its supply of speckled trout.
On my recent trip north | caught trout
/ that weighed from three 10 i've
| pounds. They were genuine brook
trout too. Many persons have claimed
that the large trout IN the northern
/ Michigan streams are cross between
a California trout and the speckled
| trout, but that Is not 90. so eminent
authority as Prof. Bean Of the Smith
son:an institute. has declared that they
are the genuine speckled trout.
Sport OF Fly Fishing
To my mind there is no other
| sport N the world that can
| compare to fly fishing. OF course
could catch four times as
many by using bait, but when you do
that you have lost all the sport. There
is something delightfully."- exhilirating
in casting a fly and then watching Il
| fish come to the surface and
pounce upon ii like hawk up
on chicken. Men tell me sometimes
| that they use bait because
they can catch more fish and conse-
| quentiy have more fun. But man
that feels that way isn't an angler. he
has none of the instincts of ii true fish
| erman. II all he cares for is the num-
| Der of fish he can catch, he had better
use a net and then CLUB them TO death.
Ii IS species of pot hunting, the same
as coming upon covey of quail and
shooting them without giving them q
chance for their lives. No true sports
man would think of doing anything
like that, and no true angler will use
bait IN preference to the fly. The num-
Der of fishermen who use the fly is con
stantly on the increase. Every year
more attention is being paid to expert
fishing, and the literature of the art is
receiving a great deal OF attention in
the magazines. This is as it should be.
| Fly fishing is an art aid deserves to be
cultivated.

NOT A SUCCESS.
The Suction Pipes of the Big Pumps
Must Be Changed.

1t was impossible to complete the
test of the new Gaskell pump yesterday
and it was postponed for month until
some repairs can be made. No trouble
Is experienced IN running the pump at
the minimum rate of speed, but the
suction pipes will not permit the maxi
mum speed. Prof. Cooley said yester-
day that the difficulty Is due to the
system of suction pipes used. "Mr.
Kirk, who was IN my estimation a COM
petent engineer" said Prot. Cooley,
conceived the idea of running sep
arate pipe to each pump, and conse-
quently reducing expenses In case of
accident to either pump. BY the double
system of pipes there would be no diff
Guilty IN operating either pump alone,
but by the single pipe system 1t would
be necessary TO change the valves on
the disabled pump IN case of an acct
dent. The Holly company did not see
anything wrong IN this plan and acqui-
esced. The scheme seemed all right,
but later developments show that 1t is
not. The engines are set at right angles
the same as locomotives. and when one
piston is dead against the head the
other Ia moving back. BY this means
the column of water IN the single pipe
system is kept constantly IN motion.
But by the double system the water in
each pipe is started and then brought
TO a sudden stop as the piston begins to
return. This causes pounding that
would seriously injure the pumps If run
at high rate of speed. 1t is not no
tced at the minimum rate. The Holly
company will remove the difficulty
and either use single pipe with an AIR
chamber r else connect the two pipe.
and ny using an air chamber on tho
shorter one reduce the pounding to q
minimum. ! think the first method u
preferable. When the repairs are com.
pleted we shall return aud make the
final test -

They Listen 10 a Patriotic Address by
Alfred Wolcott


The colored republican club met in
the Lincoln club rooms last evening.
The attendance was small, but an
unusual amount OF enthusiasm was
manifested. The meeting was called
10 order 10y Chairman George w. Cook.
The preamble to the constitution of
the club was adopted. Remarks Were
then made by j. c. Ford, Ct. w. Cook
and q. l.. Williams.
The club then listened 10 an able and
mastery speech especially suited 10
awaken the enthusiasm of the colored
republicans, delivered by the Hon.
Alfred WoIcott. Mr.. Wolcott portrayed
IN clear manner the contrast between
the free colored voter of the north and
the down-trodden colored voter of the
south. He said the members of the
club can step up TO the polls
and vote unchalenged by any man.
These rights to vote are not denied the
colored man here IN the free north.
How is 1t with their brethren south of
the Ohio river? The democrats claim
to be the friend of the working class,
but we do not need to GO back to the
time when this party held In subsection
a whole race OF people TO understand
that the claim Is false. And tins is the
same party that today is trying to en-
slave the ballot of this same people.
He also spoke of the appropriateness
of the clubs meeting III the lincoln
club rooms. The rooms are named
after the man who issued the emanci-
| patton proclamation, and IN them
hangs the picture of Gen. L. S. Grantand
| other heroes who were instrumental IN
breaking the shackles from the colored
race.
The club then adjourned. but most OF
| the members renamed to drill under
the instructions of Drill Master Bell.
