Rich Hill, where he formerly resided, and OF

Alligators In Deadly Battle.

Two alligators i'll the big basin of the
fountain at the Anderson (Ind. water

to death. Superintendent S. A. Towel
has had two "gators" that were sent
from Florida, and they had grown to be
quite large and were docile as a dog A
week ago another gator" was sent to
the superintendent from the lower Mis-
sissippi, and he was consigned to the
basin along with the others. He was
soon on friendly terms with his fellows
and disported in the big tank to the in
finite delight of all the visitors.
A few days ago, however, the reptiles
had falling out, and the Mississippi
gator" kept to himself. He was at
tackled by the large Florida male rep
tile, and a duel lasting an hour resulted.
The other Florida gator crawled out
of the way and looked on in apparent
fright. The two reared and clawed each
other till the water of the basin was dis
colored The Florida reptile was the
larger, but did not excel in pluck. But
the Mississippi reptile was outclasSed,
and when he showed signs of weakening
his adversary redoubled his vicious
lunges, and in few more minutes the
stranger was dead. Not content with
his victory, the conqueror, after short
rest, proceeded to devour his opponent.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Romance of the Dowaser Empress al
China, Once a Slave.

Romance of the Dowaser Empress al
China, Once Slave.
There is no more dramatic story in
the world of fiction than that of the
dowager empress of China. She was
the child of poor peasants living in the
suburbs of Canton and was remarkable
for her beauty and intelligence. When
her parents were actually starving, she
proposed that they should sell her for a
slave This course was followed, and
she became the property of famous gen
eral, who was so delighted with her
beauty and ready wit that he adopted
her as his daughter.
At Picking she came under the en-
peror's notice, and his majesty made
the former slave his wife. So highly did
he value her intelligence that at his
death he left her regent of the empire,
and she is accredited with administering
the affairs of state better than almost
any of her predecessors. Her views in
regard to the mission question III China
are most sensible. Her majesty thinks
that if the missionaries would interpret
the teachings of Confucius in accordance
with Christian principles they would
have great success among the people.
But to tell the Chinese that everything
they have heretofore believed is all
wrong results in Confucian worse con-
founded. New York World.

FlSHERMEN'S NETS.
aT0at of Them Made by Machine Nows-
days-Their Many Uses.

0Ay3-AnelT many OSeSs
Most fishermen'S nets nowadays ara
made by machinery, excepting the small
round crab nets and dip nets, and bait
nets that sportsmen use. These are made
by hand, for the machines cannot make
anything but straight fat web. Many
larger circular nets, however, are con-
structed from machine made netting,
cut up.
Machines have been used generally in
netmaking for about 80 years. Before
that nets were knitted in the families of
the fishermen. Some fishermen ON the
Atlantic coast still make their own nets,
and on one part of the Pacific coast
there is close union of fishermen using
nets made by hand, but factory made
nets have displaced most nets of do
nestle make.
There are six netting factories in the
United States, all on the Atlantic coast.
Carload lots Of nets are not uncommon
shipments from this coast to the Pacific,
and the same is true of netting Irvine.
Nets are made of various sizes of

sired, and they can be made Of any
length, but nets of certain kinds are
made commonly in certain lengths, and
then joined together if greater length be
desired. In this way nets have been set
in the great lakes in one straight string
Of II miles. Nets three or four miles
long are not unusual there. Such nets
are fished with steamboats,
A pound net, 100 feet in depth, has
been set in Lake Superior. It was neces-
sary to splice the poles for it. The aver
age depth of pound nets on the lakes is
40 feet. On the Atlantic coast the aver
age depth of pound nets is 35 feet. Lead
ers are made Is to 70 rods in length.
In the sounds of North Carolina very
long hauling seines are @sed, some Of
them about a mile long. They are oper-
ated by steamboats,. Formerly, hauling
seines were used generally. Within the
last Is years the use Of pound nets has
increased rapidly. Purse seines are made
300 to $50 fathoms long and perhaps 100
feet deep.

although it might not all be used at one
time; shore seine, from SO to $500.
There are other kinds of nets and seines
The life Of net depends on the water
it is used in and circumstances. A heavy
pound net might get thrashed out in
season. Some nets and seines last three
or four years or longer.
Nets are made for various uses other
than for fishing. They are made for use
On horses, in laundries to hold collars
and cuffs, for decorative purposes, for
lawn tennis, and all sorts Of backstops,
for banners and for hammocks, for poul- |
try yards and for fruit trees and straw
berry beds. Some bird traps are made
with nets. There are steamboat nets,
which, however, are not knotted, but

CONTROL OF The CONVICTS
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRIN-
CIPAL KEEPER.
Nc Recommends the Establishment of a
ReformatorY for Juvenile Or
tenders.

ReformatOry for Juvenile VI
tenders.
PRINCIPAL Keeper Turner of the penl'
Tertiary department has completed Ills
first annual report to the governor, ana
in IT makes some exceedingly timely OBJ
seyations and recommendations wlth
regard to the present system OF handing
convicts in this state.
The report is especially important at
this time. in view of the fact that the
onastion of continuing the lease system
will have to be settled by the next legs
lature at the furthest.
Judge Turner recommends the estao-
7shment of reformatOry for the juvenile
offenders. and in case the Legislature
fails to do that, he suggests that the gov
ernor take the matter into his own hands,
as he has the authority to do under the
lessee contract. and see that the youthful
and unhardened criminals are separated
from those who have grown old IN vice
and crime. Many of this class are now
serving their third and fourth terms in
the Georgia penitentiary. Associatlng
fine Younger ones with these makes the
penitentiary, Judge Turner says, veri.
table school of crime.
The whole system, Judge Turner says,
is open to objections, as individuals re-
sponsible to the state only to limited
degree are delegated authority to control
and punish, making the idea embodied
in this punishment only revenge, which
br1talizes and makes the criminal more
vicious.
The principal keeper is of the opinion
that the system can be remedied by max
ing every man who comes in contact
with the prisoners sworn officer of the
state, selected for his duties with the
greatest Judgment and care, not only to
see that the convict labors, but men who
are capable of accomplishing results that
will tend to elevate him morally as well.
The separatioDIof thesprisoners is rec
commended so that those who are guilty
of crimes involving moral turpitude will
not come in contact with those who are
not guilty of such offenses.
Judge Turner's of the opinion that the
best plan is to lease the cOnvicts again,
with notifications of the act that will
get better results than the present lease.
1t would cost too much to work them on
the public roads, he believes, and the
system would be unequal and unjust to
taxpayers, the lease system being the
most economical and desirable for the
class of criminals in the state.

The Boot and Shoe Trick.

A coquettish trick has been revealed
to me. 1t seems to be widely practiced
at seaside and watering place hotels.
Those who resort to it are ladies solicit
Gus to captivate, but who have no rea-
son to be proud of their feet. To give
rise to the idea that they have pieds
d'enfants they have pairs Of tiny boots
and shoes not made for wear, but to be
left outside their bedroom doors to be
cleaned. To give them a quite natural
appearance the soles and parts of the
uppers are smeared with liquid mud
kept In a bottle like patent backing.
AS one must souffrir pour etre belle, the
boots intended for daily wear are slyly
cleaned by the owner, when she has not
a maid with her. It appears that
Frenchmen are apt TO scan the boots Of
ladies in the corridors of hotels. There
is no more curious sight than a long
double row of pairs of boots. 1t is a
most suggestive sight, and may be
amusing as a rebus. If where beauty
ends modesty begins, it is, perhaps,
modest as well as coquettish to have
