So serious has become the scarcity Of
edible fish In the Atlantic Coast states,
that a conference Of the fisheries au-
thorlties Of the states from Maine to
Virginia has been called to meet In
New York tomorrow. 1t will be the
object of this conference to inquire
into the causes Of the scarcity and TO
devise some means for remedylng it,
The matter is considered a most i'm
portant one. affecting all classes Of
people in that part Of the country,
and at the same time the problem
which the conference will be called on
to solve is extremely puZzling. Scien-
lists have been trying for ages to solve
the mystery of the appearance and
disappearance of fish. From a conii-
tion of plentlfulness blueflsh once be-
came entirely unknown in Eastern wa
ters; so much so that when after the
lapse of a number of years they reap
peared, fishermen did not know them.
No one can tell where that fish went
at that time, and no one knows today
TO a certainty where it goes in the
winter season. In occasional years
fish in the East have been so plentiful
that 1t was impossible to sell them,
and in other seasons they are scarce.
Various persons, including some ex-
perts, give variety of reasons for the
great difference in the supply,
The scarcity which is now troubling
the fish authorities is not peculia- -
one section, but extends along the At
lantic coast from Maine to Virginia,
and In this respect 1t seems to differ
from similar manifestations. The con-
ference win be an important event in
the progress of fish propagation and
protection, and the conclusions arrived
at will be awaited with interest

OF that neighborhood, and her mother
was Miss Maria Thompson, of Lincoln

she was a young girl and she made her
home with half sister near Stanford
until the marriage of her sister Maria to
Benz. p. Hawkins. Since that time,
1850, she has been with this sister.
Several years ago she met with an &C.

shattered health. This was followed by
