money for Mckee Rankin, Louis Aldricn

the popular and accomplished young
actress Miss Eva Taylor and Frank j.
keenan, in the principal parts. It's play
representing life in California soon after

Miss Eva Taylor impersonated the helpless
Nancy the last OF her doomed race, who,
to escape the ceaseiess effort on her life
becomes q miner in a male attire In this
out OF The way camp. And her simulation
OF fear, real and imag mary, gave promi-
nence TO the fact that she 10 capable
actress. Mr.. keenan, had a rough, blus-
tering character and he gave it vigor aud

VICTORIOUS wHALERS.
They Defeated the Grays in Rough Game
al Infantry Hall.

The Providence Grays met the Whalers
last night and were defeated because OF
their utter inability to break the strong
defense put up by the visiting club. limo
and time again they had the sphere
around the New Bsdford's cage, hut TO
no purpose and when scoring seemed
possible we're met with a block and could
hit nothing bur the air. The visitors
started in for the game at hot pace and
the Grays staid with them up to the mid
die OF the second period when they weak
ened, New Bedford taking five goals In
succession. They Kept Sword busy dur
ing this time while Smiths stops were
few and far between. The game
opened up by New Bedford securing the
first goal on a side shot by Roberts In 30
seconds play. Providence made the next
on a juggling shot from Csnavan to
Pierce, and then Doe on q pass from
Roberts on the side tailed for the
Whaiers. The period went out in quick
order on Menard's play in 10 seconds,
leaving the score even. On the next the
Grays secured the lead but could not
hold il for Does men we're working like
beavers and putting up a defense that
was impregusble. Thev scored twice In
the remaining few minutes on plays by
Doe and Roberts, Doe making both
goals. Conwsy's playing in this halt
was rank for he showered his spite on
Monard, deliberately holding him several
times and strove hard to disable him.
The period ended with New Bedfords In
the lead. Score: Providence, 8; New
Bedforde, A. The Whalers still kept up
their fast gait on the last part OF the
game with the Grays weakening, though
they worked hard but luck was against
them. With opportunities to score tpsy
could not connect with the ball in time
and when they did the Whalers' defense
wss i'm passible Menard had to leave tine
surface uring the play tired out at the
rough usage he Sustained. New Bedford
Gagged the ball three successive times ON
hot drives py Roberts, and placed them
SO far ahead that IL could not be over
ccme in tho space of time left. The rest
of tie period died out IN good defense
WORK by the Whalers, they not trying 10
tcore, with seven goals TO their credit
ana three for Providence.

Proctor entered the plac ce and making q
low salaam, said:
''Mornin', mstah, Use go two ooops er

The chickens We're weighed and trans
ferred TO one OF the large commission
house cages. Then the merchant Informed
Proctor that the amount due him accord
ing 10 the weight Of the fowls was 81 80.
"Dat'sall right, boss answered the ven
cradle colorcd agriculturst.
Proctor was invited back to the cashiers
office 10 receive his money and as the old
fellow came up 10 the window the merchant
proceeded to count out the amount in silver
pieces, dimes, quarters and halves.
Hold on, dar, bUss!' exclaimed Proc

The merchant protested that silver was

PROP PAGATING THE STURGEON.
Efforts Being Made to Replenish Dis
trict Waters.

tIiCb W a'tls >.
Sturgeon are now seen in compurat lively
large numbers in the Washington markets
and at the wharves, the season for this fish
being u its height.
From Ma until autumn these game-finned
Tertebrates frequent tie nearby waters, and
Ill the Potomac they are especially abundant.
The fishermen are especially anxious TO Cap
ture the sturgeon, but they are very willy.
and good catch is rare.
Hooks are employed with Indifferent sue
Cess. The ma jority OF those caught are
taken in the nets which have been set for
smaller fish. In some cases several buDdred
have been found entang gledin tn e meshes Of u
large seine.
The local fishermen find n ready market
for the sturgeon. Some are shipped to the
dealers III inland cities, but a large proper
tion Of the catch is disposed of in the local
markets and on the wharves. Restaurant
and hotel keepers seek the sturgeon, and
many u dish is placed upon the tables Of
fashionable hostelres labelled salmon, but
which is really sturgeon from the local
wa ters.
Baltimore packers are unable TO obtain
the fish in large quantities, and sharp bid
ding is sometimes seen when fine lot has
been caught. The catch was much greater
few years ago than it is at present, and
each year the supply is diminishing.
1t was proposed to establish an Industry
for the manufacture OF ca -iare from the roe
of the sturgeon, but since the dimin ution
in the catch the measures have been aban-
doned. The manufacture of caviare by tl.is
means is extensively employed in Russia,
and is 4 source of considerable revenue.
The European species used for this purpose
is from twenty to thirty feet in length, and
about one-eighth of the entire bulk of the
female fish can be utilized in the process.
Some firms, it is said, are again seriously
considering entering into the making of
caviare for the United States. Consul
General Karrel, at st. Petersburg reports
to the State Department that he has been
asked by several commercial houses in tlis
country to obtain information in regard to
the process Of making, and the market for
the article.
The Potomac is now more pientifully
stocked with sturgeon than at any other
time during the season, and hooks and nets
are being used in endeavoring to catch the
fish. The average output of the Potomac is
about 1000 fish ann ually. A movements
on foot to importune the fish commission to
replenish the District waters with the fish,
and then to take measures to protect them
until the supply is sufficiently abundant to
allow large catching.
