Visitors to Europe to be Many.

NlSlCOfS 10 Europe TO %
Indications point to larger European
travel during the coming summer than
in any season in recent years. Already
the various excursion and steamship
companies having offices in this city have
booked large number of passengers.
From bookings already made the excur-
sion companies conclude that next sea-
son will outstrip that OF 1892, and come
very near the figure of the Paris Exposi-
ton year. Excursion companies notice
with satisfaction that despite the hnan-
ciai depression there is a call for expen-
sive tours covering several weeks of the
season, and for such more tickets have
been sold for the months of June and
July than for the less expensive
trips advertised by the same companies
in the same catalogues. Steamship COM
panies doing regular business are also
preparing for heavy travel. and the
Cunard Company has put on one finer
boat than it has ever before found profit
able for the line between Boston and Liv-
erpool. Boston Transcript.

Fishing at the Park.

When the City Council on Tuesday night
of last week, adopted all ordinance permit
ting the public, for 80 days, to fish at the
Fair Ground pond from A. M. to $50 P.
NJ, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
they filled "a long felt WANT and every
DESIGNATED morning since, the shores OF the
pond have been crowded. People of all
ages, sexes and conditions. joined in the
sport. On the morning after the ordinance
was passed there were, by count, one hun
dred and thirty three people on one side OF
the pond alone. Some Of the fishing tackle
was astounding; bottle corks, nail sinkers,
hoop poles, formed a part of the outfits,
and one youth was found fishing diligently
with corset string fol- line, a hook made
out of safety pin and pole made out of
his fathers walking cane.
" hen the fish walked up Wednesday
morning and saw the crowd they were
utterly astounded. One old carp who had
gone to thesurface and looked around. went
down again and said to a sun perch that he
believed the whole of Coxey's army had
arrived. The fish had to give up their
morning promenade on the sidewalk around
the shallow edges Of the pond, the water
was SO full of lines and hooks and worms.
A few fish, very few. lost their lives in
attempting to discover what the worms
were attached to, and a good many fisher
men. very many, lost their souls in at
tempting to give an accurate account of
the weight of the big carp that got off their
hook just as they had almost landed him.
Men of good character in the community
for twenty years, have yielded to the temp
tel since the Fair Ground pond was
opened and have fallen into the slough
OF exaggeration. If this competitive
effort Of Staunton fishermen is to GO
on for the ninety days allowed 10y the coun-
Gil. it would not be out Of place for that
body to pass another resolution respectfully
requesting the clergymen of the city to ap-
point a day of fasting and prayer.
