Early summer Weather Has Started

the Fish into Activity.
The warm days OF last week have done
much to hurry up bass fishing in the upper
Potomac, between Georgetown and the
Great Falls, old anglers say. -.....
The last traces of snow water disap-
peared from the shady hooks aud cCol
eddies last week under the Influence OF a
summer temperature, ranging from So
20 95 degrees, and black bass fishing Is
reported 10 be good this week.
The warm spell also had its effect upon
other fish. 1t started the GELS on their an
nual pilerima ge up the Potomac and Rock
Greek. brought the lively --hite and yellow
perch out or deep water to the warmer
shadows along shore, made the pugua-
cious eat fish more frisky and gave the
seine haulers down the river big catches
OF shad and herring.
The lazy carp also came out from their
mud beds at the bottom of the river and are
now being caught by anglers with the right
sort of bait.
Excellent perch fishing is reported in the
Eastern Branch from the navy yard to
Bladensburgh and Hyattsville.

Ever since Chairman Gideon, OF the

one-mile record of l minute 80 1-5 seconds
made by william w. Hamilton. of Denver,
wheelmen havctalked of but little else. The
favorable conditions of the event We're pre-

the decision was taken final proof that
Hamilton is justly entitled to rank first
among the speedy whcelmeD of the world.
The fact that the Denver lad is only
twenty-one years Old has given rise to the
prophecy that he has not reached the limit
of his powers or accomplished his ma ximum
speed. Those who know him well and have
watched his work say that he is capable
of far greater things when he has eached
a period of fuller physical development.
Hamilton's friends also contend that he
has been uDjustly deprived Of the $3.50

a Western firm for making the fastest IN

SAD END OF A COURTSHIP.
Prospective Groom Dies Al Short Time
R,.fOre His W t.idIny Day.

Before His Wedding Day.
Bclleviile, " j., April 23.-Wben the
grave closed in over the remains Of the
late Henry Smith at st. Peters Cemetery
Tuesday, the final scene OF q pathetic
drama OF real life had been enacted, for
a man who was to have been BRIDE
groom in one weeks time lay cold in
death, the remains clad in what was to have
been wedding raiment.
Mr.. Smith met Miss Charlotte Mcguire
last spring. and in the fan their engage
mcnt was announced. The wedding was
to have taken place To-Day, but the last
week AIR. Smith was taken i'll. The trou-
bic was pronounced pleurn -pne unonia. Nr.
Smith grew rapidly worse. His fiancee
nursed him day and night. almost con-
stantly, but the ravagcs OF disease could
not be overcome by medical skill, and on
Sunday last Mr.. Smith died. His sweet
heart was at the bedside. and when she
realized that the end had come she gave
a despairing shrek and fell in swoou Miss
lIaguire revived, but tainted again, and she
was taken to her home.
Tie body was brought to the brothers
home. and the funeral services We're held
yesterday morning. Hiss Maguirc, ac-
companied by several members of her
family, appeared to attend the funeral, but
she was so weak she could scarcely stand.
As Miss Mcguire took last look at the fea-
lures Of her dead lover she tainted again.
Fearing that the young woman could not
bear the ordeal Of accompanying the re.
mains to the cemetery, her friends induced
her toreturn to he r home in Ne W York before
the final services had been held.
