Six Hundred Fish Successfully
Moved from Lake Erie
to This State.

Charles A. Shriner, State Fish and Game
Protector, in his November report to the
Commission says
The principal work accomplished during
the month was the successful removal OF
adult pike-perch or wall-eyed pike from
Lake Erie to Greenwood Lake. A great
deal has been don by a number of the
States in the East towards the propaga-
ton and planting of pike-perch in the
waters in this part of the country, but
n every instance, as far as / am aware,
this work was mi by procuring the
eggs from the great lakes, developing
them In State ~hatcherses and then dis
~tributing the fry. This system of intro
ducing this valuable FISH is open 10 the
objection mat the young fry are fire.
cuently devoured by large fish indigenous
10 the water where h fry are placed,
there is also danger OF the fry succumb-
ing to h effects of a change of waiter,
the fry being sensitive to such changes.
For he purpose of propagating p~ike-perch
by distributing the adult fish a number
OF wardens were sent to Toledo Ohio. the
Erie Railroad having kindly placed a car
at my disposal from Jersey City to
Marion. AT the latter place the car was
attached to a train IN the Hooking val-
ley Railroad and taken to Toledo. Here
six hundred adult pike-perch and
about a dozen white bass were procured
me these were remove to Greenwood
Lake. the loss being only six fish About

THEY have a police justice in Newark
wbo seems to have a spice OF Recorder
Marlborough about him. A girl of seven
teen, named Nellie Hoffman, was brought
before him at the instance of her parents
because she left home There was not a
particle OF evidence against her character.
She showed that she had taken refuge in
a respectable heuse n had a respectable
situation to support herself. She asserted,
herself, and produced evidence of others
to prove that she was iu-used at home.
Indeed her mothers story i~nferentially
admitted this. The girls only fault
seemed to be q violent tongue. This is
what the Newark Justice said to her,
Well, ] believe shat you're a disorderly
girl. or els you wouldn't talk as you do
To this u~nwarranted attack on her
character b girl replied
You amt prove it, nor anybody else

about ten minutes.
When she was released. she went

nrrn. PooIk,s PHea or .sGuiitY.v

The case of Mrs. Kate Pook is one
which should receive Judge Hudspefh's
most earnest attention before the woman
IS allowed to go free with some trifiing
penalty. She is in jail for systematic
Apindiing conducted by an ingenious de-
vice. and pract;ned upon several persons.
She is of altogether mature age, and.
having been once a school teacher. is pre-
sumably of more than average intelh-
genoe. Her offence is therefore lnmiti-
gated by any suggestion that she might
have been unawar Of its w~iekedness- In
q word, the woman is. or the face OF the
facts, about as undeserying of leniency
as anyone who was ever arraigned in the
courts. This is not to say that thAsre
may not be other elements in the case
unknown TO the public, it is merely to
show why the Court should order a
thorough n public examination before
yielding to the plea of clemeuey which
IS, no doubt, going to be made in her
favor.
Another circumstance which makes
uch an inquiry imperative is the preva-
lent rnrnor that b woman indulged in
some strange threats and ~innnendoes when
she was arrested. IT is generally under
stood thai she intimated that she had in
fuentfal friends whp would look after her
interests, and, If they failed to do SO, well.
there would be a heap of trouble. Finally
there is the way In which she was taken
over to court, after the reporters were
supposed to have gone, TO enter her plea
OF guilty. OF course, we do not for a
moment him that this was anything but
accidental; burt 1T is one of those acci-
dents which render greater rigidity in the
subsequent proceedings desirable.
Finally. we have the astonishing dis
covery, given to the public in the Sun
Of this morning. that she only pleaded
guilty IN a Psckwiektan sense. This is
what the SUM has to say about it,
Mrs. Kate Pook withdrew
ene q not guilty with which last
Gepten4Der she answered the charges of
obtaining money under false pretences
brought against her by the Jersey City
police. Then, as the court officers, the
prosecuting attorney. and her own u
sci believed, she did plead guilty to OBJ
tanning 81 from Undertaken George Stew
ems, so from Undertaken Edward N.
Faherty and $40 from Undertaken Thomas
+. Carey, all under false p~retences. But
Mrs Pook told tSpn" reporter yester-
day that b had pleaded guilty to no
such crime.
How could T." she said, "when there
was no false pretence about it2 I pleaded
guilty to borrowing the money, that's all:
Just Borrowing it. Today my husband
paid All those debts and I'm guilty Of just
nothing at all"
Sweet. innocent creature. It is unkind
OF the Sum to go and tell just what she
is guilty OF to the tun of a column.
Taking It all ia all, 1t looks as If some
one was trying to play horse with the
court. 1t is to be hoped Judge Hudspeth
VIA be able to get at the bottom of the
affair.

This Week.

New Diamond 10 FisG Ship VIII BE Down
This week.
The new steamer Quincy, of the
Diamond 10 line, will be down on
her first trip the last of the week,
possibly tomorrow. The crew is
now selected and the greater part of
them are on the vessel. The steamer
Sidney on her last trip coaled her mp
so that the arrangement of a few de-
tails is all that keeps her at her dock
in the city OF Dubuque. The new
vessel will be oilicered as follows:
Captain. John Killeen; chief clerk,
{. c. Matther: second clerk, Ed Paul,
mate. Tom MCGEE; pilots, Ed West
and Al Hill; steward, Tommy Rear
don; engineer, Ed SaueIs; roof watch,
Bart Losett.
The boat is one of the finest
on the river anywhere between st.
Paul and New Orleans. Those who
have seen her state that she is a
beauty. The officers of the boat will
have much to do with making her
popular, and she will have some fine
trips between now and the time for
the close Of navigation this fall.
Tommy Reardon is the most populor
steward anywhere on the river and
the officers and crew are congratu-
lating themselves tina. they are TO
ship with him.

- Deputy Coroner Eckhart has or
dered the human bones, unearthed
at Rapids City several days ago.
buried. There were all sorts of stor-
les circulated intima,ing foul PLAY
and suggesting that an inve s;igatiou
he made of what would unravel a
ghoulish mystery.
MIR. Eckhart visited Rapids City
and viewed the skeleton, which in
his opinion has reposed beneath the
sod 10 these many years. He thinks
the bones are those of a body which
was buciet on the hillside a lone
time ago and washed down by the
rains. The deputy coroner was told
by an old settler that in 1864 a
woman who came down the river in
a Hat boat died and was buried in the
locality where the bones were found.
But others tell different stories.
