BASS AND p1oKEREL.
They Have q Rough and Tumble Con-
test in New YorE Lake.


Philadelphia, n. Y, Sept. 27.-To-day,
as Mr.. Irving Finch of Binghamton, was
walking across one OF the two bridges
over Indian river which connect East
with West Main street, he saw q curious
combat between a ten-pound pickerel and
a seven-pound black bass.
MIR. Finch happened TO glance into the
water and saw therein pickerel, whose
size caused him to stop and admire it,
swimming leisurely along. y moment
after Mr. Finch stopped the pickerel
turned sharply to the right and dived. A
moment later another fish, black bass,
jumped clear out Of the water aud tell
back with a splash, then poised with fins
and tail quivering, while its dorsal fin
was erect and rigid. Two white marks
Just above its tail showed where the pick
erel sei7ed it.
A momeut later the picEorel returned
TO the waters surface and swan ahead
Of the bass atoLt four feet apparently
not noticing the bass. As the pickerel
swan the bass darted forward, and, de-
pressing its course a little, went beneath
the pickerel so that the dorsll lin was
drawn across the pickorel's belly.
As every one knows, the end Of the
bass's dorsal fin is armed with little
spurs, and those Of this bass cut through
thepickerel'S skin into the IutesLiues. The
pitkerel 0struggled a few moments, then
turned on its side and died.
The bass would then have escaped had
not Archie Bolton.'a small boy who prides
himself with a target pistol Of Y cali
Der, stopped while on his way home from
IN unsuccessful hunt to watch the fight
The boy took careful aim and shot the
bass through the back killing IT, That,
of course, was violating the game laws,
but the focal game warden, because of
the peculiar circumstances of the shoot
ing has Decided not to push the charge
The bass weighed pounds ounces and
the pickerel 10 pounds ounces on Oscar

From the ST. Louis Republic.
New York, Sept. 29,-When the mystic

Hypnotism is 10 be set up as the bur-

be of almost incalculable Importance TO

Assistant District Attorney Mcintyre,

has been studying up on hypnotism Tor

after the conviction of the "poisoneru that
Mrs Myer would attempt to prove that

Mcintyre, when asked when the trial of
Mrs Myer would begin, said.

corded this Offense, which consisted in al
lowing Cottereau. an old-time French
fayorite, lead Of many lengths in the
heat of the two-kilometre international
race and then coming home with q win
ming rush.
A vein Of humor possessed the lanky
American as he saw Cottereau quietly
making sneak, aud he decided to give
the public q firss-class sensation without
extra price. He succeeded admirably,
for the inclosure of the Seine track never
held 10000 more amused, surprised and
excited people. Cottereau is one of the
old-timers of French racing, and still re-
tains considerable speed ia his legs.
There were Zimmerman, Louvet, Cot
tereau, Antony and Hewson in the second
heat, after George Banker OF Pittsburg
ana Edwards Of England had qualified in
the first. Cottereau, feeling satisfied that
he would stand no show by waiting for
the final sprint, adopted the running
away tactics. He was successful in run
elude pursuit by the Yankee Volant."
Less than lap-about $50 to 275 yards
remained ahead of the finish, and the
crowd was on tip-toe on the fence yelling
"Cottereau Cottereaul" in mingled sur
prise and satisfaction for, with his
twenty or thirty lengths lead, going with
head on ne looked sure winner, even
10 many who had seen zimmerman close
up gaps of that kind before.
Zimmerman had watched Cottereau
stealing the march, and concluded that
he would not start after him until he was
compelled. But the moment arrived

a hot pace. Nobody but q thinner
man could accomplish the task in
such q sensational, electrifying man
ner. Only Zimmerman could make
the people yell as those people
yell They were admiring Cottereau from
the spirit of patriotism and Zimmerman
because OF sportsmanship, and they
scarcely knew for whom they were shout
ing loudest. Zimmerman's colors appeared
10 leave a blue streak behind him as he
sailed after the krenchman and the lat
ter speed grew tame and slow by com
parisou. The other contestants tailed
on as Zimmerman 'sped after Cottereau
and were whipped around the turns like
the cracker end Of q lash. Cottereau
was oyerhauled twenty or thirty yards
from the tape, when he evolved a smile
and gave up the fight.

HOW BULLETS ARE CAUGHT.
One of the Great Conjuring Tricks
Neatly Explained.
From the Boston Sunny Post.

The adage that there is nothing new
under the sun has only been questioned in
the matter of tricks performed by ma
gicians, conjurers, prestidlgitateurs and
others who deal in that which is a mys-
terry to the eye. The catching Of bullets
by Prof. Hermann seemed to climax a
series of mysteries for which that clever
dealer in the mystic art was responsible
Speaking of the bullet-catchiug trick in
particular, Prof. +. d. Hewes, who is
also a dealer in the art mystic, said yes
terday:
There are literally but few tricks in
magic. The sO-called new ones presented
to the public from time to time by our
leading magioians, coniurers or whatever
they call themselves, are simply the re-
vival of some old experiments clothed in
a new form. The catching of bullets is
not by any means a new trick, for ii Is
almost as old as magic itself | remem-
Der seeing the old 'Fakir of Ava perform
the same trick, only in different manner,
when / was a small boy. Tho catching of
the bullet is very easily explained. In the
first place, to accomplish 1t the cOnlurer
must procure an old-style cap-lock,
smooth bore musket, some powder, caps
and a leaden bullet. All these must be
perfectly free from any deception. Now
we come TO the ramroC. Therein lies the
whole mystery Of the trick. 1t is con-
structed with small metallic tube, closed
at one end, and so arranged as to become
detached from the end OF the ramrod at
will.
Having explained the construction of
all the appliances we will now proceed TO
do the trick. The gun, bullet, powder
and caps are freely given for examination.
The performer requests some one to put
the charge of powder into the gun. Next
he inserts a small piece of paper and
rams ii down, and by twist Of the ram
rod to the left, the small metal tube is
dislodged from the point and remains
within the gun barrel. Now the bullet is
marked and placed in the gun by one Of
the audience; again the professor rams it
down. Now, by contrary twist, the
metal tube become fast to the ramrod so
that in withdrawing it the bullet is re.
moved.
The performer now palms the marked
bullet, and all that remains TO do Is TO 90
through tho motions of catching il when
the gun is discharged, and the spectators
are thoroughly mysttfied You see il is
all very simple when you know how. Not
withstanding this, Hermann is the
cleverest man with his hands that ever
donned a dress coat Kellar Is a great
inventor and a wonderful mathematician
but not the coniurer aud entertainer that
