PERILS OF THE FISHERMAN.

TO SECURE THE CRAFTY SHELLFISH.
A Salt Herring Fixed in Net Is the
Bait Which TemptS the Crabs
Appetite.

Some one once wrote a definition for
crab, saying it was a red fish that walked
backward, and critic answered that the
definition was correct, only crab was not
a fish, and was not red and didn't walk
backward.
To the epicures who search the restau-
rant bills of fare for that toothsome edible,
the crab, whether in salad or in its native
shell, the going and coming of the men
who entice those many armed crustacea up
from the subterranean rocks of the sea are
always of interest.
The crab-catcher does not rise to the
social plane of the man who enmeshes the
fierce rock cod or the sturdy sturgeon that

The following letter from Axel Yacht
meister has been received by THE CALL:
ADYAR, India, Dec. Is.
The nineteenth anniversary convention of
the Theosophical Society has just been con-
Guided. The attendance was unusually large,
there being over 800 delegates, representing all
parts of India and Ceylon, also America, Great
Britain, Sweden and Germany.
President Henry Olcott in addressing the
convention referred to the great growth of the
society from a mere informal gathering in
1875 in New York. Attacks from without, the
president said, though often made, had never
impeded its progress, but the attacks from
within had been a source of dread, as they
aimed at disruption. He deeply deplored
the slanderous accusation of black magic
made by Vice-President W. Q. Judge of
New York against Mrs Annie Besant
and Professor Chakravarte. There was burst

relations Of Catherine Cling and the
defendant? They were lovers, be,
tween whom there was not quarrel.
The jury had listened to the story OF
Louise Ireland, the very personiiica-
ton of truth, as well as the companion
and conf1dante of Catherine Cling. On
the Saturday night before Catherine
Cling drove to her death, Harry Hay
ward was with her, and they are as
lovers usually are. 1t was but natural
that they should take an interest in
each others affairs, and that Harry
Hayward, influenced not only ly the
highest respect, but the deepest per-
sonal regard, should feel inclined to
help Kittie Cling In her ambition to
establish a larger business, which.
would furnish her more complete
livelihood.
If this loan was bona ffde, then what
motive was there for Harry Hayward
to kill Kittie Cling, as he was accused,
and If the fraudulent cha acartAr OF this
loan was IN essential link IL .he chain
of circumstantial evidence against this
man, what then was the proof OF
fraud? The mere ipse dixit of this red
handed murderer, Blixt. GoodselI and
Garrity and Witherspoon and Weld
had all seen Harry Hayward with
large amounts of money, but above
all and over all-there came the testi-
mony from the grave, the letters CT
Kate Cling herself, and her utterances
to Mrs. Hawkins, to Waterman, TO
Goldsmith and to Mrs. Murray. Bl;xt
did not know of these, Or, Mr.. I,rw In
believed, he would have gone on and
swore that Harry told him that he
as he swore that Harry told him about
making Kate Cling write these letters.
incidentally, Mr.. Erwin referred to
the different stories of the scene be>
tween the brothers In the Oneida
block, and asked the jury which of the
two was more worthy of credence.
The highwaynIan and insulter Of his
parents. the weak-minded, insane one,
or the boy who had been so shocked
by his brothers confession of no con-
science, that he made inquiries OF
others as to the power Of their con-
sciences.
1t was then o'clock, and Mr.. Nye
asked an adjournment until mornins.
but Judge Smith was averse. and
asked the jury to decide whether they
would remain an hour for the counsel
to conclude.
There was short consultation, at
the close of which Mr.. Timberlake an
nounced that the jury was willing to

promising to finish In an hour. or an
hour and half at the outside. So
Judge Smith said that if the jury was
not anxious, he would consent and

Inquiry into the Charges of n Packers

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Secretary of
Agriculture Morton yesterday beganan
inquiry into the recent increase in the
price of meats, for the purpose of as
pertaining if any combination in viola
ton of law exists for the purpose of

structions for the inquiry is as follows,
DIR. ID. f.. Salmon. chief of bureau of animal
industry-Sir: Furnish at you- earliest con-
venience n statement OF the number OF cattle
received ut the stock yards in Omaha, in Kan
sas City. in East ST. Louis and In Chicago dur
ing the months OF January. February and
March for the years 1894 and 1895. 1t is impor-
tant just ut this time to ascertain rs nearly as
may be from these sources what falling OF
there Is in the cattle supply of the United
States as compared with previous years.
In January. 1881, cattle sold for s,.T0. in Feb
ruary, the same year, for 1915. and in March,
the same year. 70: sh.17H per ID weight at the
Kansas City stock yards. In I39. they sold in
The same marSet. In January at q, In February
OF 3+8o. sni in March at Mo per 100 weight:
while In 1893 th5y sold In January at $500. In
February at S15,, in March ut s. ~. In Janu-
airy, 1891, at the Kansas City stock yards. they
sold at si"j, in February ut sis), and in March
Ut 3A.5O. l wish now to ascertain ths prices
paid ut Kansas City and Chicago during jan
uary. February AMI Marsh of 1897, and also the
number of cattle received at these points dur
ing that time.
The largest cattle receipts at Chicago in any
one day occurred, l believe, April q, 1872. when
32.677 head were received: ana the largest cat
tie receipts in Chicago in a single week were
0o,52s head. received during the seven days
ending September ~. 1871. and the largest re-
ceipts for a single month at Chicago were in
September. 1S31, whom 3si,4 6j head were re.
ceived.
Be kind enough to instruct the agents OF the
bureau OF animal in iustry of the United States
department of agriculture, wherever they may
be stationed, to collect and send In as rapidly
as possible ali re.iab C data at their command
which may tcni to truthfuilys show what dimi-
mutton, II aay, there Is 10 the cattle supply Of the
United States for the year 1898, as compared
with previous years.
Also instruct the agents of the bureau Of
animal Industry to make thorough inquiry Q.
to whether, In their Judgment, there Is any
combination, in violation of law, by which Z
cattle trust" is putting up the price OF bee
products while It is putting down the pc
capita price OF cattle. Very respectfully yours
J. MORTON, Secretary.
This investigation Is due to the fac
that in all of the cities of the country
the prices of beef have been raised ma
terially since March /. Charges have
been freely made that the big Four
packers combine has been responsible
Tor the rise and that cattlemen have
not proited by 1t.
