BERGEZ'S BIG FISH.
4 Veteran Angler Lands q Twelye-Pound
Trout.

4 Veteran Angler Lands a Twelve-Pound
Trout.
From the San Francisco Examiner
A number of members of the Talmapais
Sporting Club went over to their preserves on
the great Throckmorton estate in Marin county
the other day. This place is thronged with
game, SO that it is even better sport than the
Country Clubs domain. Among the members
who went on horseback were DR.. William John
Berg and several friends. The veteran angler
Berger, with his friend Hooper, took small
cart and their fishing tackle.
The result was an excellent catch. The lagoon
which lies just below the Portuguese milk
ranch, only separated from the ocean by mar
row strip OF land, is swan ming with trout, and
Messrs. Berger and Hooper said yesterday that
they counted between sixty and seventy huge
fish in the clear waters. To one Of these Der-
gez gave battle for an hour and a quarter te-
fore he landed him.
The two fishermen expected to find only
medium-sized trout For that reason Bergez
had sit-ounce rod with him-an old fayorite
OF his. however. The contest was extremely
exciting, and Hooper said in describing it:
II was the moro excited Of the two. Bergez
let the big fish nearly carry his reel away a
dozen times but the way he would wind things
up az the fish came down on the back track was
marvel He worked him to perfection in zig
Gags toward the sandy part of the lagoon, where
there are shadows and where we could land the
fish with q net. We were both of MS tired out
before the hour and quarter had ended, but
BerSez is very proud of his fish,"
The salmon trout in question was a female,
and Weighed within two ounces of twelve
pounds. On the Sausalito boat last night it at
tracted the eyes OF all the Country Club men.
Many yachtsmen became excited. and vowed
that they would take to the woods with fishpoles
next week If 1t cost them a months salary.
William 7. Coleman, /. Quite Davidson and
DR.. Williams formed the committee that at
tested TO tho weight Of the fish, and they all in
tend to visit the Throckmorton lagoon ct an
early day.

A NEW ALLOY FOR SILVER.
Wild Theory of the Cause Of American
Dyspepsia.

From the London Telegraph.
1t is said that new alloy has been discoy-
cred which, mingled with silver prevents all
discoloration OF articles made of that metal
and an exhibition Of articles SO manufactured
has lately, indeed, taken place. Standard silver,
as employed for coinage and table plate, is
usually alloyed with a considerable percentage
Of copper, which hardens it against wear and
tear. but, unluckily, renders it more liable to
become furnished by oxidation. The new
compound, it is alleged, preserves its original
brilliancy indefinitely. which would lead to the
idea that alumni um is the alloy secretly en-
ployed. BE tina. as it may, now that silver is
growing 30 cheap, it would be distinct advant-
age to extend the domestic use Of the beau tiful
and cleanly metal; and perhaps in this direc-
ton lies one OF the only means Of readjusting a
little the balance between silver and gold.
Only, whatever the merits of the novel com =
pound advertised, and however easily it can be
cleaned, as is said, by touch with the cloth, it
is TO be hoped that the English people will
never initiate the fatal fashion of the Ameri-
cans and adopt plated knives for the dinner
table, except for dessert. The most curious and
universal punishment has fallen upon the
United States for pushing too far the doctrine
that everybody is as good as anybody else.
Service under this erroneous axiom is in such
disrepute that housewives cannot get ''helps'
to sharpen steel knives upon the knife board or
in machine. Hence, everybody uses plated
knives, which can be cleaned with a wet rag,
but will not cut worth a red cent
In consequence tho American man or woman
always in too much OF a hurry ut meal times
cannot and does not cut up the beefsteak which
furnishes tho eternal dish OF the land He or
she practically bolts 1t uncut and unmasticated
and goes back to business or pleasure with a
stomach which expiatcs in unayailing struggles
TO digest the leveling democratic tn cory. And
also in consequence the country is covered with
hideous and immense advertisements of pills.
drugs and patent drenches to cure this national
dyspepsia, which in direct result OF the scorn
OF honest service andof the villainous plated
knife. The American Congress which shonId
abolish that fatal implement In favor Of honest
Sheffield steel would do more for the states
than bimetallsm or anything else.

ALONG THE yvHARvFS.

Navigation closed again. The channel has
four to six inches Of ice throughout the Wash
ington reach. and an equally bad condition Of
affairs exists as far down as reports have been
received from. The propeller Norfolk, Chico
ghegan, arrived at her dock several hours late
this morning Hard ice and a northwest biz
card were the cause. 1t is more than probable
that the Wakefield, which ventured from this
port Wednesday for ports as far down as
Yeocomico, Ia frozen up in some Of the lower
creeks. Tho ferry steamer did not attempt to
make trip this morning, but her people
thought that they would try to get through
some time today.

Generals recommendation being as follows:
IAN examination Of the evidence submitted on

willing to consent to the execution Of the ex-
IRENE penalty of the law. I therefore recon-

His defense was tina: his wife shot herself in q
ut OF jealousy, because of his suspected intimacy
with another woman. He was twice convicted
