I have not IN years allowed myself to
travel without. With this money
made my way back to New York on
that nights ''fast line, number four"
having broken out of Mr.. tablets shop
and before ten o'clock the next day
was walking up Broadway.
So ended the lesson of my 1mlucky
astralization, and my story is done, ex-
cept that deem it due to Marian to de-
clare explicitly she had not been guilty
of any such impropriety as l seemed to
witness. In fact, she not only had no
visitor that evening, but was not even
at home, having gone to spend the night
at her sisters. The scene which APP
peared SO shockingly real to me was
simply an artful illusion, got up by a
couple of waggish "elementals," who
impersonated her and the total stranger
with such skill as to completely deceive
me. Their trick could not have been
successful but for the perturbation of
mind / was in at the time, but am not
now sorry it was played, for it will en-
nance my caution in accepting as real
even the most plausible appearances on
the astral plane:

A gerry creditdble piece of pdntOmime.
Last summer made one of party of
millionaire Comstockers" who went
over to Washoe lake on piscatorial ex-
petition. The fish there to be caught
are principally that species of catfish
known in the Atlantic states as horned
pouts or bullheads.
knights of the angle" of the present
day are apt to turn up their noses when
mention is made of bullhead fishing.
Generally, however, when a man goes
out after catfish he sinks all artistic
feeling-he goes in for "meat." 5r-a
1t is an easy matter to catch catfish.
You have only to procure tackle strong
enough to draw them out of the water.
using hook according to the expected
size of your game. The size of the cat
fish appears to be good deal regulated
by the size of the stream or lake in which
it is found. The larger the body of water
the bigger the fish.
AS already stated, we were small
party of Comstockers, and were at
,Washoe lake more for 'meat" than
sport. Of course all fishing is to some
extent satisfying to mans inherent in
stinct for the capture and slaughter
of all wild creatures of land, water and
air.
We had strewed the shore with several
score of bullheads when we saw ap-
preaching us through the tules border
ing the lake three men, who by their
dress and lack of both coat and vest
appeared to be ranch hands employed in
the neighborhood. The men seemed to
be merely strolling about in the enjoy
ment of half holiday, as they carried
neither guns nor fishing tackle.
The trio had probably sighted our
tent and wagon from afar, and knowing
from previous pleasant experiences that

COOPERATIVE BEER.
Monti and Pretti Get Into Trouble on Ac-
count of 1t.

4
A case came UP before United States
Commissioner Bradley yesterday after
noon that had connected with it some
circumstances and legal questions not
common. Two italians from Hallowell,
Marcello Monti and Alexander Pretti,
were arrested by United States Marshal
Saunders and Deputy Marshal Smith on
complaint that they had been violating
the internal revenue laws by selling Ii
quor without United States license.
When the two men were arraigned be-
fore the commissioner it appeared that
they were quiet, industrious men who
work in the granite quarries, and also
keep boarding houses for their fellow
laborers. All of them like beer, and it
has been customary for the boarders to
direct the keeper of the house to buy a
barrel. Then each boarder would keep an
account of the number of glasses he
drank, and when the barrel was exhaust
ed, would contribute his proportion to
pay for it. This arrangement made the
boarding houses of Monti and Pretti
very poplar, and they, said they could
not keep their boarders without it. The
question is whether they were retail
dealers within the meaning of the law.
The case was continued and, will be
concluded today.

A Miraculous Escape.

During one of the great eruptions
of Etna a tremendous stream Of lava
burst from the side of the mountain,
and descended toward the town of
Catania, threatening it with destruc-
ton.
The terror-stricken inhabitants be-
sought their patroness. ST. Agatha,
to avert the impending catastrophe,
but for while prayers seemed all in
van. Closer and closer crept the
dreaded lava stream. before whose
powerful thrust even the town wall
must give way, when 10, a miracle!
"A few inches from the wall the
stream was arrested in Its progress,
and began to pile itself up in a heap
Higher and higher it grew, fed by
fresh lava from behind, until before
it had quite cooled and hardened it
had actually overtopped the wall
Saint Agatha, as might be ex-
pected. obtained the credit of this
miracle, as it was thought to be; but
science very soon after robbed her of
it. Lava, it has been discovered is
full of gas, which gushes out IN little
jets, and so strong are these jets that
the lava actually blew itself back
from the wall, and as the wall was
luckily strong enough not to be blown
down, the lava kept,on blowing itself
back till 1t had time to coo:.
