SHAD FISHING.
The Fish with Many Bones Bring Many DOL
lars Into the State.

RICHMOND, May 23.-(Special. )-Shat
fishing is not the small business that i,
might be taken to be. On the contrary, il
is source of revenue to the State. Every
spring thousands of dollars are distributec
among the owners of weirs on the kenne-
bee. In years agone one catch often
turned the owner several hundred dollars.
Shad are not so abundant this season as
tney usually are, but good many dollars
will come into the State in the next few
weeks in exchange for the fish with many
bones. Several New York and Boston
buyers are in town this week, and, owing to
their great scarcity, shad are bringing fancy
prices. A New York gentleman states that
shad and salmon caught in Maine
waters readily sell for so per
cent. more in the New York markets than
those brought from the Pacific coast, the
former being far more palatable than the
latter. Several devices for catching shad
are in use, weirs and seines being the mos,
Effective. For the better protection OF
fresh water fish, a close time has been
established between April l and July l5,
during which time all weirs, seines, nets
Ind movable apparatus must be removed
from the water at sunrise each Saturday
and not to be used until the same hour on
the following Monday. The old time drift
net still has its use, but is not much in
favor with the modern fresh water fisher
man.

ond comptrollers of the treasury and COM
missioner of customs (these offices having
been abolished by the Dockery commits
sion) Caruth moved to strike out the words
within the classified service" Caruth's
amendment, which he said was to leave the
selection of these clerks to Secretary Car
Isle, was agreed to.
Dingley gave notice that he would call
for yea and nay vote in the House. He
said the men now on this work should be
retained to close it up. The bill reduced

The Boys From Bow doia Won the { anne by
Superior Playing.

WArERvlLLE. May %. Special -
There was a large attendance at the ball
game between the Colby 3 and the Bowdoins
ON the campus this afternoon. The game
vas not all that the friends of Colby could
wish it to be, for they lost it by score of
l3 to I.
The home team made some costly errors,
but none of them threw the game away, for
the visitors won by superior playing, both
1t the bat and in the field. Our boys were
puzzled over Plaisted's left hand delivery
their nine hits being scattered all through
the nine innings. On the other hand the
Bowdoius hit Whitman hard and punched
their hits in such way that they were
bound to score. The game, however, was
won in the first inning, when five men
scored after two hands were out on rank
decision by Umpire Kelly. Colby worked
hard but could not get in the lead at an,
time after that.
The game commenced with Bowdoin at
the bat. Sykes went out on a fly to Pat
terson. Hull got base on balls and got
round to third and was caught trying 10
steal home. Williams got q two-baggef
and PlAisted base on balls. Chapm sn
got his first on an attempted out, Williams
scoring. Latlip's muff of Fairbanks hot
liner gave the runner his first and let two
scores in. Bodge followed with hit, an 1
before Leighton " as out both had crossed
the plate.
In Colby's half Purinton got base op
balls, stole second and came home on
Cotfin's hit, and Coffin came in on hit by
Totman, who scored when Patterson made
a clean hit to left field.
One, two, three was the way Bowdoin
went out in the second, and in the last half
O.good got his first on Fairbanks fumbleI
stole second and came home on Hoxie's hit.
Purinton's error gave Williams his FIRST
in the third, Chapman's sacrifice sent bin
To second and he scored on Fairbanks hit,
who went home ON an-error by Hoxie. Pat.
terson closed the inning by beautiful
catch of Haine's high fly to left. Patter.
son got hit, which, with an error, gave
him run in the last half.
An error by Latlip and hit by Williams
gave Bowdoia run in the fourth and in the

FRENCH CRISIS.
General Mercier ConditionaIIy
at Head of Cabinet.
Casimir-Perier's Chances for Pres
idencv in Ascendancy.


PARIS. May 23 The ministerial crisis is
tolo"ing its normal course, President
Carnot received. to-day, collectively, the
resignation of the cabinet which they de-
cLned 10 ietract. The President pressed
Gen. Mercier to remain at the head of the
ministry Of war and in conditional way he
assented.
An effort is being made to construct a
combination ministry, including NM. Du-
puy and Bourgeois Radical deputies, to-
day, passed resolutions demanding Re-
publican concentration of the ministry with
strong progressive tendencies and opposing
all clerical concessions on the part of the
government.
The Republicans passed resolution
favoring the formation of another homog-
enous cabinet, but this is only certain to
result in another crisis. M. Casimir-
Periers chances for the presidency are not
essened in the slightest by his esgnston,
but rather have been increased.

last half Colby scored their last two runs
for the game.
In the fifth Fairbanks got hit but was
caught between first and second. Bodge
was out, Hoxie to Osborn, Leighton struck
at the air three times and cipher was hung
up for the visitors. For Colby, Osborn
struck out, Purington hit grounder which
was gathered 10 by Sykes and Osgood was
caught trying to steal second and another
| cipher was hung out
Bowdoin punched three hits two tw o. bag
gers, in the sixth, which gave them three
runs. For Colby, Hoxie struck out and
Coffin popped up a flv for Syk.s y. Whitman
got good clesn hi 10 night field and the
1all was losr the grass and in trying to
unke the circuit of the bases was caught at
the home plate. A little coaching here
might have made difference in the score.
Two of Bowdoin's men scored in the sew
enth, three hits beiog made, and for the
home team, the frst three men at bat went
out on fys.
One, two, three was the way the men
went after that.
Sykes played fine game for the visitors,
and Osborne accepted 10 chances for the
Colbys without an error.
The following is the score:
