Here is somewhat new story Of the
Niagara falls hacxnan:
Two tourists, lady and a gentleman,
stopped off at the falls between trains.
A hackman engaged them for a brief
tour of sightseeing. The time actually
consumed was 90 minutes. The haclman
said he must have $40. The gentleman
remarked that it was an outrage. The
driver explained that he had been of
great assistance in pointing out the
places of interest and stood firm. The
gentleman prepared to pay under pro-
test
Unfortunately for himself, he handed
the man a SEQ bill
''Do you pay for the lady also?" asked
the hackman promptly.
edo pay for the LADY," repeated his
fare in establishment. "Of course do.
What do you mean?"
''Then there will be no change" re-
piled the hackman. "My charge of $40
is for one person, $50 for two persons.
The amount you have handed me is ex-
actly correct. Thank you, Sir. ',.-Buffa-

CAUGHT BLIND FISH
ASTONISHING LONG DISTANCE FISH.
ING DOWN A WELL.

The Line Was Three Hundred Feet Long.
Four Curious Blind Fish Caught In the
Bowels OF the Earth-Of Course the
Largest Escaped.
Thomas Mould Of the firm OF Thompson
& Mould, the well known dealers in grain
and feed. and Editor E. L. Roys Of the
Goshen Democrat are the heroes of a fish
ing story beside which the stories of orGli-
nary fishermen sink into insignifcance
Both are well known as ardent deyotees of
Izaak Walton, and whenever their business
permits they are usually found IN pursuit
of the gamy black bass or the voracious
pickerel. On Saturday they visited Glen
mere together The fish were not biting
with much enthusiasm, and at about 4
o'clock they started for home
AT Howell's condensery they stopped to
talk with some workmen who were repair
ing the pump AT the artesian well 1t twill
be remembered by readers of this paper
that at the time this well was sunk an
account was given of the striking Of sub
terranean stream at a depth of nearly 500
feet, the volume of which could not be as
certained except that soundings showed it
to be of considerable depth The stream
and its probable size were the subjects of
discussion among the little group at the
well, and somebody wondered If IL con-
tanned any fish.
A bright idea at once occurred to MessrS.
Mould and ROys. Each had in his basket
q long trolling line, and by uniting them
a line long enough TO reach easily TO the
bottom OF the well was formed. Amid the
good natured ''jollying" of the bystanders
the lines were rugged and hook attached.
1t was baited with big might walker"
fishworm and lowered POS feet through the
inch hole. The distance had been care
fully measured off on the line, TO which a
heavy sinker had been attached and the
hook fastened short distance above to a
stout piece of line.
Everybody laughed except Mr. Roys as
Mr.. Mould carefully lowered the line and
waited anxiousiy for the little tug at the
bait which brings JOY TO the heart of the
experienced fisherman. After few min
utes the expression on Toms face became
one Of rapt attention. by darn! ! be-
Ieve I've got bite" he said A moment
later he began TO pull in the line rapidly
hand over hand "I've got something, ="
he said, and IS everybody gathered about
the well he drew out fish. 1t was about
half a pound in weight and of the eyeless
species which are sometimes found in the
waters of caverns The fish was nearly a
foot long, shaped something like perch
and its struggles as it lay upon the ground
showed that il was game TO the backbone

this fish was OF q uniform color or light
| gray. 1t had very small scales, and where
| the eyes might be expected to exist there
were slight indentations as Of rudimentary
| eyes.
When the excitement attending the cap
| ture had died away, the hook was baited
| again and the line lowered. Editor Roys
| took charge this time, and. after waiting
| for about ten minutes, he drew TO the sur
| face another of the fish trifie larger than
! the first one. Five fish were caught alto
| gether, the largest of which weighed a
| plump y pounds. One fish was brought
f, part of the way TO the top, but lOOsened it
self from the hook and escaped. Mr..
Mould, who had hold OF the line at the
time, says it was TIA largest by far of any
| that fastened themselves On the hook, and
he is positive that the reason he was una
BILE to land the fish was that il was too big
to pass through the well, which is only 8
inches in diameter.
The singular appearance of these fish
and the remarkable manner in which they
were captured made them objects of curl
osity to the persons to whom they were
shown. Reference to the encyclopedia
shows that these fish are remarkable, aside
from their appearance, in that they are vi
viparous, bringing forth their young alive
and not depositing eggs after the manner
Of most other fish. They have rudiments
Of eyes, but no optic nerve, and are there
fore incapable of being affected by tho
most intense light. Those who tasted them
say they are of excellent favor, but rather
too plentifully supplied with bones.
