NEW MAIL SERVICE.
Towns and Villages on Lake Tahoe IL
Daily Communication With the
Outside World.

The towns and villages along the shores
of placid Lake Tahoe will after July be
in daily communication with the outside
world. The postal authorities have deter
mined to establish regular daily mail
service on the lake, and the owners of the
elegant new steamer Tahoe havelsecured
the contract. The towns principally bene-
flied by the change are InchuI Emmerald
Bay, Hobart, Glenwood, Biiou, Tallac,
Lake Valley and Mckinney.
Heretofore visitors and permanent
dwellers in the lake region have been sub
jected to all manner of inconvenience,
lucky often if they received mail once a
week. All this is to be changed, however.
A miniature postoffice has been fitted UP
on the steamer Tahoe with d. l.. Bliss as
mail agent. The steamer will connect
with all stage and mailing points.

BURGLARY PREVENTED.
Policemen Clark and Richter Have q
Lively Early Morning Chase on
Kearny Street.

Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, Policeman L. G. Clark saw man run
ming up California street from Kearny.
The officer gave chase and succeeded in
stopping the fugitive. The man, however,
managed to break away from him and ran
down Kearny street, toward Pine.
He was finally stopped by Policeman
Ric hter on the corner of Pine street.
When first seized by Clark, the man had a
steel jimmy in his hand.
AT the station he gave his name as

$2l In silver and gold watch. In his hat
he had hidden a paddock, which he had
pried off some door. 1t was afterwards
discovered that Ballard had taken the pad

Saloon" on Kearny street, between Cali
fornia and Sacramento. The door had not
been opened.
Ballard gave his age as 20 years.
Soon after his arrest young man
entered the station to ask if friend of
his by the name of Gus Anderson had
been arrested on vagrancy charge. He
gave his name as Ernest Collins. He was
placed in cell.
The police believe the two to be MEM

who are responsible for petty robberies
recently committed in several saloons
1t Is said that some $1,000 was in the
saloon at the time of the attempted burg
larry, and that the gang were undoubtedly
aware of this fact

A TRUE FISH STORY.

to Believe 1t.

Don't Read 1t IL You Are Not Prepared
to Believe 1t.
We give every one fair warning that
this is fish story. More than that, it
is story of fish with legs Now, all
who are not prepared to believe may
stop right here for this is true story,
and to doubt it would be to qucstion the
veracity Of che Of Ellsworth's best citi-
zens, a man held high in the esteem Of
his fellows. and whose word is good.
This is tho story as he told it to the re-
porter:
Some years ago he was employed i'll
numbering OH the west branch of the
Penobscot. His camp was at North
Twin lake. In camp with him was
man who declared he had caught trout
with legs. OF course he was laughed at.
but bided his time to prove his story.
One Sunday he proposed to the Els
worth man q fishing trip. 1t was ten
mile tramp across country to the pond
he wished to visit. but that was consid-
cred but q short jaunt to these woods
men experienced in the use Of snowshoes.
The trip was made, and in the course
Of few hours fishing dozen CT mole
trout were caught. As the Ellsworth
man stopped to pick up his fish he no.
ticed something peculiar about one Ct
them that was breathing his last. In
unison with the opening and the closing
Of the gills something having the APP
pearance of legs was stretched out from
the fish g body. He called to his compan
ion to see what manner of fish he had
caught, but that individual calmly re-
marked: ooh, that's one of those trout
with legs was telling you about.
They're all that way i'll this pend. -
Examination proved this to be tho
fact. Each fish was supplied with SIX
legs-three On each side-which folded
SO closely to the body as to be hardy
noticea.. ie except Oh close inspection.
But they were legs sure enough. The
pond where these remarkable fish were
caught is situated on Saddleback noun
tain. 1t is small pond. covering c,!!7
about 30 acres, and has neither i'll s
nor outlet. It is said that there IL 81
similar pond on Mount Katabdin where
the six legged trout are caught The
fish caught ~ the Ellsworth man were
exhibited at Bangor. lie will not say
that the trout may still be caught. Pos
sibly they have taken, to the land and
walked off.-Ellsworth (Mc. Amcri-

The ONLY Way.

Mr.. William spark in his Musical
Memoirs" tells u story Of the famous
Wesley which was related to him by
Mr.. Bishop. the London organ builder.
Wesley was great extemporaneous
fugue player, and on the occasion to
which Mr. Bishop referred had been
asked to show eff new organ by play
ing voluntary ut TIE afternoon service
previous to the reading Of the first les
son. Before going to the organ he asked
the vicar, who was all amateur organ
list, how long the voluntary should last.
"Oh," replied the vicar, ''please
yourself, Mr.. Wesley. Say five or ten
minutes, but we should like to hear as
much Of the different stops as you can
oblige Us with. f"
When the time came. after q few pre-
liminary chords, Wesley started fugal
subject, which he worked out in mas
terly way in about a quarter of an hour,
and the vicar was about to commence
reading the Lesson when the inexhausti-
BILE organist started second subject,
and this he developed in the same alb.
struse, elaborate manner as the first.
The congregation at the end Of half
an hour began to show signs Of weari-
ness The vicar beckoned to Mr.. Bish-
op and begged him to stop the too prolix
oeRanist.
''Oh, +" replied the organ builder, Il
can soon stop him if you give me au-
thority and will take the consequences. -
He approached the organ blower, and
holding up half q crown he said hur-
riedly: "Come and take this am just
going"
The blower pumped the bellows full
and made for the half crown. Bishop
detained him until the wind went out
with suck and grunt, and poor Yves.
ley was left high and dry in the middle
Of his double fugue.

Drawing Room Weaving.

A new occupation and fashion among
English women is that of drawing room
weaving upon light house looms. Upon
these looms hand woven table linen and
towels, with and without borders, are
made. Though the world is not suffer-
ing for those hand woven products, they
are thought by some to have all artistic
value that machine woven fabrics have
not, and as we copy English fashions
sooner OF later, it is predicted that ere
long\ American women, too, will per-
haps return to bygone occupation,
from Which their grandmothers were
very hahkful to be free.

BURIED YESTERDAY.

Two Societies Participate in the Funeral
Services of the Late Charles J. Meter.
The funeral of Charles ]. Metzger was
attended yesterday afternoon by a large
number of relatives and friends. Tho
remains lay in the front parlor encased
in a handsome black casket surrounded
by floral offerings. The religious SER
vices were in charge of Rev. Mr.. Levy
of the Court street synagogue, and were
the simple Hebrew rites.
Two societies, Connecticut Rock lodge,
A. r. and A. NJ, and Horeb lodge, 7. 0.
B. b., participated in the last ceremo-
nies. The bearers were from the He
brew society, and were Max Adler,
Lewis Osterweis, David Coleman, Isaac
Strouse, Edward Engel. At the grave
the Masonic services were participant
ed in by a delegation of thirty, Worship
full Master A. r. Speiss, master of cer-
emonies; M. Hessler, marshal. Many
of the member of Germania lodge, I. o.
o. F., were also present at the services.
Thus was laid to rest sterling citi-
zen, d. kind husband and father, a man
who was a true and loyal friend, and
one whose word was as good as his
bond. He was a man of quiet tastes,
unpretentions, unostentatious, yet a
man of thorough business capacity and
training, who had acquired wealth and
won the esteem of all, and his asso-
ciates, many of whom are men of in
fiuenee and prominent men of business,
speak of him in words that show that
he held an honored place in their hearts.

THE BERN UDA Sails.
She is Undoubtedly Laden With Arms for
Cuban Insurgents.

Cuban Insurgents.
New York, March 15.-The steamship
Bermuda, which cleared February %
and seized and detained by the United
States marshal, it being alleged that
she was bound on a tllibustering expedi-
tion to Cuba, was cleared yesterday for
Vera Cruz and passed out at Sandy
Hook at 10 a. m. to-day.
The Bermuda is laden with arms
and ammunition which are undoubtedly
for the Cuban insurgents.
1t was said last night that groups of
men were on shore, ready to go out to
her, but only three men We're observed
on deck, besides the officers in charge,
when she sailed.
A tug followed the Bermuda, and, it
is understood, was in the employ of the
Spanish consul. Dispatches from
points along the coast say that the
tug followed her out past Asbury Park,
but how far and for what purpose is
not known, but she was far behind the
steamer. The Bermuda, when last
seen, had a full head of steam on and
was headed south.
If, as was rumored, a steamer is to
meet and transfer men to the Ber-
muda, it will undoubtedly be some ways
down the coast.
Captain OBrien, an old Hell Gate
pilot, who is in command of the Ber-
muda, has taken out filibustering ex-
petitions in years gone by.
