The King Fishers.
HUBBARD LAKE. July 3, 1894.


Editor Roundabout:
Leaving Frankfort on the after
noon of June 18th Thursday the
writer and Mr.. R. Morris, after a
long ride by rail and steamer via
Cincinnati, Grand Rapids, Macki-
nae Island and AL ena, on west
coast Of Lake Huron, reached the
camp of the liking Fishers" on
Hubbard Lake, Alpena county,
Michigan, on Sunday afternoon.
July Ist.
The ride out from Alpena, 20
miles to camp. was rough beyond
description, much of it Of heavy
sand, bog holes and fast and loose
corduroy where the horses tumbled
and pulled by spasmodic jerks and
the wagon followed suit. We pre-
ferred often to walk to being jolted
till lite was burden. The driver
said the road was not very bad.
that he never minded it except
when there was fall Of foot or
eighteen inches between the cor.
duroy, some loose and some fast.
This gave us some degree of con-
ISOLATION to know that it might
have been some worse.
Our pleasing reflection was 20
recall the fact that Geo. Payne
and Charley Furr would have to
travel over the same route, We
expect them in camp to-day and
trust both have accident policies,
''ready to 60 if called"
Coming out we passed porcu-
pine on the road, amiably gentle,
as he scarcely deigned to get be-
yond reach Of the drivers whip.
Two members Of the club from
Cincinnati. with the cook. reached
camp the day before us and had
couple of tents already up. We
now have four tents up with flies
fer dining table and kitchen, and
the fifth tent will be up to-day.

This will accommodate the entire
gang" when all arrive; the party
to consist of Furr. Payne, Morris
and the writer, from Frankfort.
KY; Hickman, Culbertson, Foulds
and Hall, with the cook, from Gin
cinnati. and possibly Thurston,
from Central Lake. Michigan.
The king Fishers" are fish
ing club and are here for sport and
health. The air is bracing. the
thermometer this morning stand
ing at 500, but will probably rise
to 7o0 by noon. The camp is in a
delightful bay Of the lake. on high
ground, in the edge Of a dense
forest, with cold spring near. The
lake is eight to nine miles long
and two to three wide in widest
part; bottom gravelly and rocky
and shoaling out-a splendid habi-
tat for bass. Close by lives an old
hermit in his log cabin-solitary,
except his cats and chickens. The
next peighbor is four miles away.
He seldom has a visitor-one win
ter says he saw only one person.
Asked how he could be content,
especially in view of sudden sick
ness; his reply was he was happy
and not afraid to die at any time.
He seems intelligent and cheerful.
Our usual flag, "old glory" we
fly from ffty-foot pole we cut
from the woods and with much
labor hauled out and erecte in
front of camp. Little glory" flaps
saucily from the top and each tent
is ornamented with like compan-
ions.
The country is heavily wooded,
with few settlers, and soil sandy.
Some wheat, rye and timothy is
raised, the wheat and rye yet
green. The old hermit on yester-
day was spading his small plot and
planting potatoes. His patch of
corn barely shows above ground.
In the woods are deer, porcu-
pine and bear: we haven't lost
any bear.
We anticipate fine fishing. On
yesterday Morris and myself were
out on the lake two hours and
brought in eight small mouth
black bass that pulled the scales at
twenty-five pounds. One | took
was a four FOUNDER. They are
fighters from way back" one of
them turning two somersaults high
in the air in his efforts to escape.
The flesh is as firm and finely
favored as the Elkhorn bass.
With our steel rods they can BIZ
handled to 1.-The queens taste.
No better rod exists. Above us,
A mile or so. pike are said to be
found as long as ones arm. We
nope to make their acquaintance.

STATE OF TENNESSEE LOSSES.

The supreme Court Decides That 1t Can
Not Tax the Mobile and Ohio.
The Tennessee law, which the cffi
Gals of of that state contend authsl
ICES them to tax the property of the
Mobile and Ohio railroad company
for the years 1885 to 1889, inclusive,
was declared by the supreme court of
the United States Monday, in an
opinion read by Justice Jackson, to be
invalid as far as that company is con-
cerned.
The company was chartered by the
state of Tennessee in 1S4S, with 8
provision exempting its capital stock
flom taxation, and its property for q
period Of twenty five years from iti
completion, and that no tax should bt
levied which would reduce the divi-
dend below eight per cent per annun.
The supreme court decided that the
taxes for 1885 and 1886 could not be
collected because they were within the
period of 25 years subsequent to the
completion of the road, but that fol
subsequent years the taxes were prop
erly levied and should be collected,

All American cities grow towards
their suburbs, while their early centres
Of population are devoted almost ex-
clusiyely to business purposes. The
old part of New York city has not so
many people as it had forty years ago.
The substitution of electricity for
horse power in propelling street care
has, In the opinion of the Boston Gull
tivator, enormously increased this
suburban tendency, and it is destined
to do so to a greater extent than now.
1t will not be many years before will
ages ten to fifteen miles distant from
all large cities will be connected with
them by electric cars. This is being
done in New England to greater ex-
tent than elsewhere. 1t is one of the
advantages of the great water power
this section possesses that it will have
cheap transportation by electric power
in many places where these advantages
are not now enjoyed.

BURNED TO THE GROUND.
Or. Tnlmnge's tn bernacle mt Brooklyn
In Ashes.

In Ashes.
Fire seems to be the Nemesis of
Rev. Il. Dewitt Talmage and the
members of his congregation. Their
beautiful new tabernacle at the corner
of Clinton and Greene avenues, Brook
Ign, was destroyed by fire Sunday af-
ternoon. Flames broke out in the
church edifice just after those who at
tended the morning service had left
the building. Not only was the church
destroyed, but the near by hotel and
a number of buildings were also great
ly damaged. Had the fire broken out
one hour earlier, while the building
was filled with worshipers, it is al.
most certain that dreadful panic and
loss of life would have resulted.
This is the third time that the Tai.
mage tabernacle has been destroyed
by a fire. By singular coincidence
each fire occurred on Sunday.
Everything in the tabernacle was
destroyed with the building. Per-
haps the loss which will grieve DR..
;ralmage most is that of the memorable
stones which he had brought from the
east, and which were set in the wall
ut the right of the organ, encased in
stero-rellef work. They were four
in number. The top block was from
Mount Calvary, and bore the word
"Sacrifice." The stone below from
Mount Sinai, bearing OH it
1.-THE Law" The bottom stone is
from Mars Hill and bears the inscrip-
ton, Gospel" The front stone was
unmarked.
A more unique collection of stones
was never gathered in one place
The fire was discovered shortly after
~ O'Clock, just after the congregation
had been dismissed from the morning
service. DIR. Talmage was in the
church shaking hands with number
of people when flames burst from the
! organ.
Ex-Snpervisor Reed, who was in the
Summcrfield Methodist Episcopa
church, directly opposite from the tab
ermacle, had also seen the smoke com
| ing from the tabernacle window anc
lad sent in an alarm of fire By the
time the tirsmen arrived, the flames

windows. The extra alarms, ant
finally special call were sent in
bringing all of the engines in Brook
lyn and Williamsburg to the fire. Tn,
flames spread with lightnilg-lik'
rapidty and the sparks flew in all di-
reclions. The greatest excitemen
prevailed.
The interior of the church was |
seething, roaring mass of flames in
side OF thirty minutes after the fire
was discovered, and by o'clock thu

fallen in.
| The fire spread TO the adjoinin;

guests. No lives lost.

The CicBdm.

The woods are now vocal with
these insects. They are commonly
called seventeen year locusts, but are
not locusts at all. Their proper name
is "cicada septendecim." The letter
w on their wings does not mean war.
Nature gave it to them just as she
gave them their little red eyes. Their
mature life is short, only about twen-
ty days. The female cicada has at
the extremity of her body a piercer,
which she thrusts into the small
branches of trees selected as recep-
tacle for her eggs, then, by the aid of
two little saws with which she is pro-
vided, a crevice is made in which she
deposits her eggs. One female will
thus deposit about 200 eggs in the
few days of existence allotted to her.
Having deposited them she girdles-
cuts round the limb, between the de-
post and the body of the tree, SO
deeply that it dies and, after awhile
falls to the ground, where each egg
matches small worm. This worm
enters the ground, and after seven
teen years comes forth winged ci-
cada. The peculiar noise made by
the cicada is created by all elastic
| drum which it expands and contracts.
| There are also three year cicada.
