OVER TWO HUNDRED FISH
Caught in tho River ut tho Mouth of tho
Creek Yesterday,

Caught in tho Hivor ut tho Mouth OF tho
Creek Yesterday.
There was great fishing in the river
just at the mouth OF Wheeling creek
yesterday. The fishing has been good
all along the river front for several days,
but the luck OF those who we're angling
ut the spot named yesterday was phe-
nomenal. There seemed to be n great
school Of herring there, and news OF it
quickly spread. Men and bows and one
woman were fishing most OF the day,
and the woman had the best luck OF all.
She caught over forty good sized fish,
and did not fish all the time. either.
She lives on y boat house there, and
fishes from her front door. Sho keeps
the fish alive in n barrel OF water, and
Eclls them when a buyer chances along.
Moro people watched the angling
than were engaged in it, the Ohio River
railroad trcstle and bridge being well
lined. Numerous strings OF fish avcrag-
ing q foot long danglcd in tho water,
and considerably over two hundred
werc taken. D. Il. Brooks caught
twcnty-ninc in 4 few hours, and then
quit fishing because he ran out OF
worms. 1t is Seldom as good success is
met with ordinary worms ior bait.
1t Is said on good authority that on
Sunday Conrad Bradley, a well known
fisherman Of the South Side, caught a
cot fish weighing thir.y-seven pounda,
at tho>La Belle landing. I, is evident
that fish stories are ripe and the late
frosts did not affect their size or quality.

Do Water COlorS Fade?

A case very interesting to authors
has lately been before the courts in
London, but the artists have been d
good deal disappointed in the out
come, as no decision was reached on
the critical question, whether
water color paintings are liable
to fade Ruskin maintains that a
properly protected water color will
not fade, while other eminent author
tiles maintain the contrary. 1t seems
that lady, who bought beautiful
water color last year, allowed a
firm of engravers to take it for
reproduction. It came back with the
colors destroyed, and she sued them
for its value. A great deal of inter-
esting testimony was adduced as to
what might injure the colors. 1t ap-
pears that direct sunlight will alter
some, while acid fumes will destroy
others, and even exposure to the air
is injurious to some. The jury, after
listening to many experts. found it
impossible to decide how the picture
had been injured, but as the injury
was manifest, they gave the owner
verdict fol damages.
