A BIG DEvILFIsH.

A very large devilhsh caught in a
seine out near Cape Flattery was ex-
hibited recently at fish market on Pa
cifc avenue. II would measure ten feet
from tip to tip OF its feelers, being an
unusually large specimen.
Hon. Ross j. Alexander, OF Ohio, one
OF the Puyallup commission, saw the
fish, and was deeply interested in it..
After examining the monster he return
ed to his hotel and began to write up a
description of 1t to send east. When he
came to mentioning the number Of
suckers" it had on It's feelers, he put
the number at 25. Thinking upon re-
fiection that that was too many he re-
turned to the fish market to investigate.
After counting 40 suckers" on the feel
er, and not having counted more than
one-fourth of them, he gave up the task
as being too tedious. and put the num-
Der at 150. Mr.. Alexander made quite a
study OF the big fish, and a crowd soon
collected around the door Of the market.
Speaking to Ledger reporter, he said:
Such things as those fish should be
written up. They would interest every
person that picked up the paper. II
was one OF the most interesting things
that ever saw. No hook in the world
would bring one OF those monsters up
from the bottom OF the ocean, for II
would bring up the very bottom Of the
ocean with It. / can well understand
how fatal these devilGsh are when sew
eral Of those feelers are wrapped about
It's victim two or three times with those
suckers pumping the life
out Of it"-2Tacoma Ledger.

SPORTSMAN KNEEBEY ACCUsER
AN AMERICAN.

Copyright, 1894 by Associated Press)
Berlin, May 12.-The charges of fraud
ulent practices brought against the
American trotting horse owner, Robert
f. Kneebes, have been the sensation of
the sporting world during the past week
and they have aroused a great interest
among the members of the American
colony in this city. The chief witness
against Kneebes, who is one of the best
known trotting men in the western part
of the United States, was, strange to
say, an American named Heffner who
accompanied him here as a partner in
the trotting business. In this city the
two horsemen had dispute about some
money matters which eventually re-
suited in an explosion, which caused the
charges of fraud against Kneebes.

From the Chicago Record.
There is no argument against high

ton is as to cost. While certain
farming neighborhoods of the west
have excellent hard roads, made of
gravel and perfectly good the year
round, it will be a long time before
such improvements will become gen
eral. Meanwhile there should be an

Road taxes should be collected in
cash, as school taxes are, and ex-
pended in accordance with some well
defined plan looking to the perman-
ency of the work done. Suitable
machinery should be purchased
bitches should be dug. Thing should
be put in, and the use of wagons with
broad tires should be insisted on.
The work should be carried forward
year by year on scientific principles
by competent men, and the cost
would not be greater than the pres
ent wasteful methods.
The result would be that in few
years the highways would be practi
cally all that the farmer would re-
quire for the economical and easy
handling of his business.

doubt that her behavior was the main
influence which began the change in
his attitude. When all prejudice
seemed to be removed ut the birth of
Hannah's child. she was free to express
her heartfelt qualification. Hence
forth things went on as smoothly as
could be desired. 1t was not possible
for Wiley and Cullen to make show
of affection which neither felt, and
which each knew was not felt by the
other. Yet they behaved with decent
civility whenever they met, and their
wives came to trust that their family
relations would become as they ought
to be. The father, as happens often
with old men after the death Of their
wives, lapsed sensibly from the vigor
which hitherto he had maintained.
During this while he seemed to have
grown more and more fond of Cullen
and Hannah. At the beginning of his
last rapid decline, three years after,

HOUSEHOLD WORDS.
The Names of Two EminenI NORTH
CarOlfnianS.

The Names of Two Eminenl North
Carolinians.
From the Reidsville Review.]
The names of Vance and Jarvis are
inseparably associated as household
words around North Carolina hearth
stones. These great names were con-
jured to redeem the State in 1876.
When Vance was called from the
Gubernatorial chair to the United
Stat Senate Jarvis succeeded him,
and now that the great statesman
is called to his 'long home," who is
better fitted to walk in his footsteps
in the council halls of the nation tina
Jarvis? They belong to common
type of men, and Governor Carr
faithfully observed his promise when
he said that the man he appointed
for the place should hold views in
alignment with those of the late Sen
ator Vance. Both have been men
very much after the North Carolina
heart. The caprice of political for
tune has not kept Jarvis in as close
and constant touch with his people
as Vance, but in point of personal
popularity he partakes of the pecul-
iarly magnetic qualities which have
30 much endeared his predecessor to
his followers.

sition, suggested that Hannah should
stay with them in the house, as her own
strength was not sufficient for con-
slant attendance upon his increasing
needs This was done. He was care
fully watched by both sons and their
wives: but it was easy to see that Of
all their ministrations those of Cullen
were most acceptable to him. With
Cullen he sometimes held brief consul
tations which ended abruptly when
Wiley came in. Yet he professed to
have equal affection toward all of
them, held to his faculties until near
the last, and died calmly, as if he
krew full well that vain would be any
attempt to withstand an enemy who
was irresistible.

her other troubles, seemed to have

''I tell you it's SO, Hannah. can't

never cared for anybody except him
self since he was born, and hos always
been regarding me as thing in his

to give him more than his share of the
property. Mother told me that, and
she told me that Sister Julia's remon-
strances more than anything else pre-
vented its being done. Father, towards
the last, said he had boon intending TO
