TWO BIG EELS.
one Caught or Point Judith Weighed Thir-
ty-four Pounds, They Say.

NEW LONDON, Conn, April 30.-The
crew of the fishing steamer Annie l.. Viii.
cox Of Mystic took on board the largest
sea eel that any one hereabouts can re-
member. Lost week the crew captured a
remarkably large eel, but this last capture
beat the first one.
The largest Of the two cells weighed 34
pounds. 1t was feet 9 inches long and
10 inches in circumference. The smaller
eel weighed 25 pounds was feet inches
long and Is inches in circumference.
These cells were taken in pounds be-
tween Watch Hill and Point Judith. They
were not so lively IN proportion TO their
size as little eels usually are, or they
would probably have made things inter
esting, but they looked decidedly ugly as
they struggled in the nets.

The Most important

Matter demanding attention at thia

Your health depends upon it, for as
the quality and quantity of the blood
vary, you are better or worse.
The blood conveys all the elements
which go to make up the organs, nerves
and tissues of the body, and carries
away all dissolved, useless material.
Every bone, muscle, nerve and tissue,
lives upon what the blood feeds to it.
The whole world knows that Hoods

Education tonight, some action will be
taken for a new teacher for the grammar
grade in school building No 2 Miss
Nellie G. Wise having resigned as
teacher there. the resignation taking
effect tonight. at the Boards last
meeting there we're six applicants,
mostly from graduates Of the high
School, to hll this vacancy, bat they
laid over until the April meeting pend
ing a question as 70 the qualification OF
the applicants Some members OF the
board argue that the holding OF q
diploma SIS graduate, signifies that the
applicant has passed through the most
difficult examinations that can be held In
the schools, and that they are, therefore,
well qualified.
Applicants now before the board are
Misses Reba Case, May Goodley, Julis
Mahoney, Sarah Laboube, Anna Fleming
Gertrude Knntz and others. All these
are believed to be well qualified for thii
school It is thought, however, that
as there is only few weeks Of time be

aboda in a New York hostelry. Al
though located in the midst OF
veritabIe hot-bed of politics. the i've
rooms which Mr.. PIatt calls home
are free Of all political invasion.
Mr.. PIatt jumps into the business
of the day the minute he gets his
foot out of bed. A tribute to the
mans versatile genius has always
been the perpetual wonder of his
friends how he manages to main
tain his wonderful leadership OF his
party. and at the same time conduct
Gigantic commercial and financial
enterprises. any one of which de-
nands as much attention and energy
as two ordinary men are capable OF
eXpending.
Tom PIatt succeeds in accom-
plishing this by Iaboring seventeen.
eighteen and nineteen hours a day.
Just what he does in an average
eighteen-hour day this story will tell:
THE PAPERS THAT HE READS.
Nj. PIatt is no dude. 1t takes him
less than twenty minutes to dress,
and as his breakfast hour is s o'clock
he has something like ten minutes
to spend in reading the morning
papers. Mr.. Platt takes every news
paper published in the city.
The few papers that favor him and
his policy he seldom reads. He
knows they are all right. But he is
always on the alert to know what
the enemy is about.
He goes through paper after paper
with the speed Of a race horse. read
ing Washington. Albany and politi-
cal news of all kinds for the utter
ances of any men of note in the
political field. Particularly he reads
everything published about himself

ingly call 1.-The Tioga Statesman.

Too. of Penn Yam
Mr.. PIatt's birthplace may have
been rural. but there all rusticity in
his makeup ends.
By the time breakfast is served Mr.
PIatt is pretty we'll posted on the po-
liticaI developments of the nation in
twenty-four hours. He also knows
in how many new ways he has been
abused.
Right here it might be stated that
Mr.. Piatt is SO accustomed to news
paper condemnation, and the abuse
of people in search of an easy vic
tim upon whom can be fastened the
guilt of all public misfortunes, that
the bitterest denunciation no more
worries him than does a rain storm

BAD MAN IN TEXAS.

An Army ORicer7s Experience
Which Included a Drink of
Poor whisky
Only on one occasion in my life
nave L felt the need of a weapon. ="
said an officer of the United States
army to a Washington Star writer.
nave never carried a gun. but il
has sometimes occurred to me that
no man ought ever to be without one.
One cannot be sure but that some
time the weapon would save ones
life. For instance, 1 will relate to
you a little experience of my own.
1 was in wild mountain region of
Texas. l was riding along a lonely
path, mounted on a government
mule. Not a thing did I have on
my person which could have been re-
garded by the most impoverished cit
izen as of value. Whistling as 1 went,
[ approached a large rock, about
which the path ran to avoid a sharp
ascent. Just as [ reached it q fierce
looking man rose out of the bushes
and cried Haiti
What could 1 do? Perhaps you
will say that l ought to have charged
upon him with my government mule,
OVerpOWeTed him, taken away his
arms and demanded why he should
thus obstruct what was the best sub
stitute available for a public high
way. I did nothing of the kind.
The only reason 1 can allege is that
I was afraid. Such a method of
dealing with highwaymen does well
enough in story books, but in real
life it is dangerous Accordingly, L
obeyed the suggestion of the bold
bandit and halted. For a moment
my heart jumped into my throat as
| saw him thrust a hand into his hip
pocket He drew from it something,
and pointed it at me point-blank. I
perceived that the something was not
a pistol; it was bottle. Said the
highwayman:
Drink
II held out my hand and graSped
the bottle with more than ordinary
eagerness. I drank. 1t was the
worst whisky 1 have ever tasted;
and that is saying a good deal, for
[ had lived in the wiIds of the West
for a number of years. But to me at
that moment it was grateful
draught. [ handed the bottle back
to the highwaynan, and, as he went
his way with a benevolent smile upon
his countenance, I resumed with
thankful heart my journey upon my
government mule. / had meant 10
offer him that mule, but would hard-
ly have had the nerve perhaps, for
he might have regarded the protfer
of such an obviously VaIueiesS GIT
as 4 insult"

there. and he replies to the first be-
fore dinner.
He and Mrs. Plat dine at o'clock.
and from that time until $50 he rests
quietly in his own home. He always
manages to devote two hours and a
half in the day to Mrs. Plat, and it
would require something of gigantic
Importance to break this rule.
At $50 he appears down stairs in
the corridor First he is tackled by
the political reporters of the various
papers who make the Fifth Avenue
hotel their night headquarters. Then
the visiting leaders from all over the
state pour tales of politics into his ear.
Some have great schemes for crushing
the enemy. Mr.. Platt compliments all
these schemes and doesn't use one
out of thousand.
So it goes until u o'clock. Then the
BOSS" and some chosen visitor dis
appear to map out and plan and
scheme until or a. m.
It isn't much wonder that the great
chieftain always looks tired and ex-
hausted.

again.
He takes the 5 o'clock train back to
the city, and at o'clock at night is
pacing the marble floor of the Fifth
Avenue hotel corridor as if a 150-mile
Jump on a train to Albany and another
Jump back again in an afternoon, be-
sides doing a mass of other work, were
nothing at all
Sometimes the center of excitement
is in Washington. On these days he
doesn't go to his office at all. But he
takes an early morning train for the
capital. spends a couple of hours on
the floor of the senate or house, talk
ing with the members about some
measure he is interested in, then takes
the congressional limited back to New
York and is in the Fifth Avenue hotel
corridor at 10 o'clock. listening to what
the little leaders have to report.
If things are running smoothly in
Washington and Albany, Mr.. Platt
keeps driving away at the express office
until o'clock. Then he takes a Broad
way car, which lands him at the hotel
at $50 o'clock. There are a number of
