things differently In building n war

work compared with merchantmen

An Old Time Hatch with RsvOlvsrs L
the Tenderloin Police Station.

An Old Tine Hatch Win beVolvers In
the Tenderloin Police Station.
"The recent order of the police board
that all patrolmen shall become prof.
cient in the use Of the revolver" said
retired sergeant. reminds me Of lit
tie target practice that took place in the
cellar of the Tenderloin station house on
West Thirtieth street three years ago
There was quite sporty crowd of pa
trolmen doing duty in that precinct in
those days, and there was always pok-
er game in the off platoon. The game
was run ON the dead quiet of course and
was played in small room in the cellar
used ordinarily for storing ballot boxes
and other election paraphernalia. The
boys smuggled stove down there. and
a poker table that was seized in raid
ON q gambling house was corralled and
placed in the room.
"Now, there were two wardmen do
ing duty in the Tenderloin then, and as
they had no regular hoars they were
able to play along with each platoon
without interruption. They were cou-
pie of pretty slick fellows, and ii was
only matter of time when they'd have
all the money on the table. Eventually
it got so that the patrolmen wouldn't
play with them any more, and this
source of revenue cut off, they hit on the
idea of shooting at a target with revolv-
ers at % cents a shot Now, some of
these coppers were crackajacks with pis-
tolls, and they seized the opportunity
thus offered to win back the money they
had lost at poker. So one night to-
mato can was set up at one end of the
long cellar, and lighted candle was
placed beside it. Then the men began to
shoot. Only two pistols were used, but
every time patrolman shot he missed,
while the wardmen bored hole in the
can each time.
"Every night for week the men
would shoot, and always with the same
result. The wardmen were winning
about $40 apiece night, when the game
came to sudden end. One of the patrol.
men suddenly opened the pistol which
a wardman had handed him to shoot
with and found it loaded with blank
cartridges. Then there was howl, and
the bad shooting of the platoon was ex.
planned. The other pistol, which the
wardmen had been using, was loaded
with 80 caliber bullets, and as both were
good shots of course they plumbed the
can each time. The patrolmen threaten
ed all sorts Of things, but the wardmer
only laughed and held on to the money
they had won. There was no use kick
ing to the captain about it, for he't
have preferred charges against every
mothers son Of them for gambling il
the station house, and SO the patrolmeI
swallowed their loss and let the matter
drop. But it was a long time before the.
got over it, and some Of them are laying
for a chance to get even to this day.

Ohio's Anniversary

To-day, February 10, is the ami
versary of ohio's statehood. The his
tory of her admission to the Union is
this: On April 80, 1902, Congress
passed an act to enable the people of
Ohio to frame q constitution and
form Of state government. A consti-
tutional convention composed Of dele
gates elected by the people, met at
Chillicothe on November /, and the
constitution was ratified and signed
by the members on November 20,
SO2. On February 10, 1903, an act
of Congress was approved for the due
execution of the laws of the United
States in the new state-and this
date, marking the complete establish
ment of statehood, is deemed the
birthday of Ohio.
Inc oay Is OF interest, because OF
the recent action of the General AS.
sembly in creating a centennial CON-
mission, to mature plans for fitting
celebration of the hundredth anniver-
sary of Ohio's statehood, and report
to the next General Assembly, two
years hence. The occasion is one
that should be thus commemorated

WEIGHT POSSIBILITIES or CARP.
If Well Fed and Treated, They Attain tt
Er,orrrnoua Giua

If Well Fed and Treated, They Attain to
Enormous Size.
Big fish chronicles are always inter
esting. Attention is just now being be-
slowed upon the weight possibilities Of
carp. These fish are notoriously long
lived, and, provided they are not caught
before they have had chance of living
long, and, provided again, they have
few enemies and solicitous keepers to
supplement their natural food supply
regularly, it is only natural that they
should grow to relatively great size.
Under normal conditions, Of course. they
do not exceed few pounds, and, as 1t
is the normal conditions that prevail,
discussion of what they might attain
may be regarded by not a few as some
thing Of futility. Still, they are some
times placed in peculiarly favorable cir
cumstances, and, as the question is
really concerned with what weight they
can reach, it is not such q futility after
all.
We must go abroad for the biggest
carp Of which angling history has to
tell. In private pond in Saxony there
used to be pair Of breeding carp whose
united weight in Saxony measure q per
cent heavier than English) reached 81
pounds. The male was 43 pounds and
the female 48 pounds. By good living
and attention they even exceeded this.
In II years the male put on pounds
and the female 10 pounds. The pond
which afforded home for these crea-
I lures was famous one. In one year
1000 pounds of carp were taken from it
Ito say nothing Of tench and jack. In
this same pond-which, by the way, Gov
cred II aores-the proprietor had left
several carp for breeding. Five Of these
weighed 10S pounds Saxon, and the
largest Of the five, Spiegel carp, aged
16 years, drew in the scale 81 16 pounds
English. The age of the two first alluded
to could not be estimated. They were on
the estate when it was purchased from
another family, 30 years before.
We have never to our personal knowl-
edge known carp that exceeded "a
pounds to be caught in English waters.
A brace which weighed So pounds was
once presented to the late Lord Eyre
mont. A curious thing about these big
fish is their tameness. Mr.. Pennell tells
! us he has seen carp in the garden ponds
