The cupidity of the fisherman on the
Atlantic coast is rapidly destroying near
ly every kind of sea food upon which the
people have been accustomed to rely
The complaints of the men who control
the fish markets are long and loud that
the supply of fish is much less for this
season than 1t was the last The lobster
factories ON the Maine coast are all
closed, and one has TO go down as far
east as Prince Edward island to find a
lobster with a shell on his back at fair
price The herring factories have be-
gun to exhaust the immense schools OF
herring that gather around Grand Ma
nan and work their way into the Bay Of
Fundy
The mackerel have been so scarce dur
ing the season, from the wholesale de-
struction Of schools that a single mack
erel is today more expensive than
pound of beef The bluetish are still
plenty, but there are signs that even this
species of fish is beginning to be preyed
upon by the methods employed by the
fishermen in catching them. The fisher
men say that they are obliged to use
these destructive methods in order to
protect themselves from the encroach-
ments of those who refuse to keep to the
old methods, and SO the wholesale de-
struction goes on without restraint.
The time has come when if the sea is

food which makes life on the Atlantic
coast delight to the people Of the west,

lection for them in the close season,
must be established by law, for which

Fight Between shark and Whale.

On the trip to Fin and back of the
steamer Ovalau Just concluded, Cap
tain A w Cameron and his officers
saw a strange encounter. The steamer
was going along at about ten knots in
midocean, when commotion was OBJ
served in the water ahead and the body
of huge marine animal or fish, with
what appeared to be great dippers, was
TO be seen rising and falling. Captain
Cameron steered direct for the stranger
On approaching close the commotion
was found to be caused by a whale,
over thirty feet long fighting with a
thrasher shark
The latter apparently was having the
best of the combat as the whale kept on
the surface of the water comparatively
quiet while the shark ever and anon
threw itself out of the water and
brought its tail down with a terrible
blow upon the whale. The Oyalau was
30 close to the animals, which were too
much occupied to heed the vessel, that
either could have been touched with a
pole The captain could not stop his
ship long enough to observe the result of
the conflict New Zealand Herald

The Once BOYS Excuse.

There is an office boy who caused a
great deal of trouble for the correspond
ing secretary of woman's club. The
lady felt sure she should make some
mistakes at first in the performance of
the duties Of her new position, but was
totally unprepared for the avalanche of
criticism, circumstances and fault find
ing which overwhelmed her after the
first meeting for which she sent out the
call.
Hardly anybody, it seemed, had re-
ceived notification, and twenty-five or
thirty of the $50 members had not even
heard there was to be a meeting. The
corresponding secretary interviewed her
husbands office boy, to whom had been
given the list of members, the circulars
and other requisite stationery, with or
ders to address the envelopes and mail
them as promptly as possible.
"Did you fold the circulars and put
them in the envelopeY
"Yes'm."
"And direct the envelopes and stamp
! them and mail themY
"Yes'm."
"Did you do it promptly
"Yes'm."
"Then how do you suppose so many
of the ladies failed to receive their Cir
cularsl"
"Oh, the envelopes didn't hold out to
go around, replied the boy innocently.

Coai Output for 1891.

The coal consumption is generally con
sidered to be the best measure Of the in
dustriai activity of a country. This rule
would mold good for this country during
the past year when general industry was
active and prosperous, though a few
branches suffered a reaction. We find
that the output Of anthracite, Of which
we have full and accurate returns,
amounted in 1891 to a., S39, 779 tons Of
2,240 pounds, while the production of
bituminous coat which is in part esti-
mated. amounted to 9S,000,OO0 tons.
Prices OF coal were, in general, lower
than in 1890. though the anthracite'trade
being regulated maintained, during a
portion of the year rather higher prices
than in the previous notwithstanding

The present method of making news
paper pictures, by what is called the
photo-engraving process, is so universal
that we seem to have always had it; yet
the inventor of this boon to newspaper
picture makers, Mr.. John Calvin Moss,
was only ffty-four years old when he
died in New York a few weeks ago.
He organized the first company to work
his process in 1871, and that company
failed. He shortly afterward started in
business again. and it has been within
the past ten years that newspaper illus
tration has had its boom.

An important decision has been rem
dered by Judge Lichtenberg, of the
superior court Of King county, affect

road law. The judge holds that "the
act of 1890, known as the road act, is
void in its provisions for the establish
ment of county road where the owner
of private property consents or does
not object, but when Directing or non
consenting, the land must be appropri-
ated under the right Of eminent do

Where the United States forms with
a nation treaty granting us the right
to try our own citizens by our own laws
for offenses committed in that country,
the foreign nation can only deliver
American criminals to our consuls or to
our minister resident there. This hap
pened when Lieutenant Hetherington
killed Robinson in Japan. He was tried
for the murder by the consular court
at Yokohama by what was said to be
American law and acquitted.

THE GREATEST OF ALL SOL.
EMNTTIES

EhNI Ties
What a comfort it must be to aching
hearts, rent by the poignant grief
which the fight of the spirit of loved
one across the slender drawbridge
which separates the present life from
the live eternal, ever causes, to be able
to believe with Longfellow that
"There is no death What seems so is
transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but the suburb of the life elysian
Whose portals we call death"
1t is hard to consign TO earth the in
animate clay of a loved one, and say
without bitterness toward Him who
"doeth all things well" Goods will be
DONE" but it would be harder still to
be deprived of the light of that loved
ones life, if death on earth was the end
of all. 1t is a comfort, cold, perhaps,
but comfort none the less, to know
that our dead can never be dead to us
unless we ourselves forget them.
Atheism must be terribly cold and com-
fortress. Infdelity intensifies the
shadows Of earth, and through its dark
glasses no silver lining can be dis
cerned beyond the clouds. Christianity
Is fall of comfort for the present be-
cause it teaches infinite hope for the
future. Death cannot end all, though

stones, and according as the worth and
work of the departed have left their
inn ress upon US. There is something
inexpressibly sad i'm the sudden cutting
off of young life in the midst of a
work of love and usefulness-such as
that of Miss Mcleod, whose funeral
occurs today. Talking last evening of
her death, friend of the writer, who,
by the way, is not a subscriber to any
particular creed, expressed himself so
eloquently and reverently that it seems
most appropriate to reproduce his
words. Said he:
Having just attained the age when
youths vigor surmounts all difficulties,
and the troubles in actual life, in the
passing vision, only rise as mounds
upon the plain to be readily feveIed or
easily climbed over in the joyous jour
ney, her going from amongst us seems
inopportune. Were the earth's vibra-
ton to blot from its surface the CHEEKY,
ripping brook, that for ages had car
ried delight along its whole course,
gratifying the love of all, its loss would
tie bad indeed. In the taking away of
this young lady her friends have not
only been deprived of the voice that
lent pleasure to life, the sunshine of
her character that made bright every
thing about her, but they are no longer
the visible recipients of that affection
and loving kindness which so deem.
ened and filled the channels of love i'm
all her associations The paths she
has trodden in this life were so blazed
by her kind acts and smoothed by her
generous conduct, that they are more
distinct and less rough for those that
may follow her. From apartments in
this life, carpeted with the affection
and embowered with the love of those
dear to her, she has passed into the be
yond where fondest hope and Christian
faith have builded for her a beacon
light to endless joy"

ALIOUIPPA ON THE OHIO.
Remarkable Interest Manifested by Buyers

Remarkable Interest Manifested by Buyers
in the New Town.
Although the Aliquippa Steel Company
have been advertising their property at the
old picnic grounds on the P. & L. E. r. r.
for less than a week, the interest manifested
by those who desire to buy lots with view
to locating there or for an investment is re-
markable. The interest is no doubt due to
the fact that Aliquippa is one of the most
picturesque points on the beautiful Ohio. It
has splendid drainage, pure water, is improved
with boardwalks, etc, etc. What is better,
it is the place to make money. Nature has
made it an admirable manufacturing site
A big steel plant and big shovel works
are up and almost ready to run, big tin
plate mill is under projection, and other
factories, glasshouses, etc, are daily apply
ing for space to locate. There are no taxes
the lots are low and are sure to become big
investment by rapid increase in value. The
steel company and shovel company own the
property, and, being desirous to found a
town about their works rather than figure
as specializing land company, have taken
care to have their works up and all improve
ments made before selling lots, rather than
sell the lots and promise the boom after
ward. No lots will be sold until the day of
the public sale. Watch for the date, and in
the meantime drop into the Office of the.
Aliquippa Steel Company, room 30, West
inghouse building, corner of Ninth and
Penn avenue, and examine the plans and

A Polieeman's Experience With . Drunken
Party on an Incline Car.
Officer George Storey, Of the Southside,
had an unpleasant experience with q quar-
tet of drunken Frenchmen last night. The
officer was coming down the South Twenty
second street incline to report for duty, and
the Frenchmen, who had been drink
ing freely, were acting disorderly.
The officer cautioned them to be
quiet, but this only angered them and they
turned on him, one of them striking him in
the face. The officer drew his mace, but
before he had chance to use it one of the
men jerked it from his hand. The officer
after sharp struggle finally regained the
mace and laid one OF his assailants low with
a blow over the head. By this time the
foot of the incline was reached and the
other three men made their escape The
officer held on TO one man and sent him to
the Twenty-eighth ward station, where he
registered as John Kerns.
Later three men were arrested on this
side of the river by Detective Bendle, they
having been pointed out to him as the men
who had assaulted Storey. They were
locked up in the Twelfth ward station,
but Storey failed to identity them as his as
sailants. The three men were held, how
ever, for drunkenness

THAT LIBRARY PLAN.
1t Came From Bostou-What Commissioner
Scott Says About II.

1t Came From Bostou-W hat Commissioner
Scott Says About II.
The receipt of a New York engineering
journal containing what purported to be the
modified plans for the Carnegie Library
caused quite stir in library circles yester-
day. Chief Bigelow, who received the plan
reproduced in THE DISPATCH, was in
formed that it was the new one to be SUBJ
mitted to the Commission by Longfellow,
Alden & Harlowe. As it met some of the
objections raised by Mr.. Carnegie, who pre-
ferred one to two towers, and as it came
from Boston direct to the Chief of Public
Works with the statement that it was the
architects modified design, he accepted it
as such in good faith, of course, well know
ing that it would have to be submitted to
and acted upon by the Commission.
THE DISPATCH presented the cut to the
public with the distinct statement that no
meeting of the Commission had yet been
called, and also referred to the points of
difference as CLEANED from the engraving,
stating that it was unaccompanied by any
descriptive details The word authorized
was meant to convey the idea that the pub
Gcation of the plan was authorized by the
architects through the journal in which it
originally appeared, and which was for
warded to Chief Bigelow from Boston.
Mr.. Scott, of the Library Commission,
expressed surprise yesterday over the state
ment that the plan was the Encouragement
of Longfellow, Alden & Harlowe's prize
winner He said he had no knowledge of
the receipt of any modified design by any
member of the Commission or other person,
and could not believe that the republished
cut was what it purported to be. He
thought Chief Bigelow had been led astray
by someone for some purpose. He also
stated that the design bore striking re-
semblance to one that was on exhibition in
the competition and was not accepted on ac-
count of its cost.
