A Singing Fish.

A reader of the st. Louis Republic
residing at Bentonville. Ark, writes as
follows: II read your note on vocal
fishes in Notes for the Curios' on Sep
TENDER 12 and wish to say that along
the coast of Florida and Georgia have
often heard the musical notes of what
the old fishermen call the singing
shad.'' They differ from the common
shad in being smaller and also in the
formation of their mouths. Their
singing is pleasant at first, but soon
grows monotonous. owing to the fact
that it is constant repetition of the
same sounds"

Suicide In Lauan.

An essay on the prevalence OF suicide
IN Japan has been written by Mr.. Saito
kokufu. II native statistician. The sta
tistics extend over ten years and show
that suicide hns been on the increase
in Japan, both actually and in proper
tion to the total number of deaths. In
1885 and 1886 the number in proportion
TO the population reached its highest.
Mr.. Snito observes that during these
years there was great rise in the price
OF the necessaries of life. In the case
OF japanese women the age at which
suicide is most frequent is about 20;
the corresponding period with men is
%. Comparatively few women commit
snicidc after the twcnty-fifth year. hut
men are not safe until they are past 40

Special to the Register.
Huntington, W. Va, May 3.-The
largest gathering Of Democracy known
in Southern West Virginia assembled al
Wayne C. H. yesterday. This was prac-
tically the first meeting OF the cam
paign, and was marked with the great
est enthusiasm from the beginning TO
the end. Early in the morning persons
from ali the neighboring counties began
10 arrive, and every train on the Nor
folk and Western brought vast crowds
Of enthusiastic Democrats.
THE MEETING
was called at the instance OF Hon ". b.
Chiffon. OF the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee, and was for the pur-
pose OF uniting the Democracy OF Wayne
county, which, since the last campaign
has been badly divided, and as a result
lost the county TO the Democracy in the
last election. The difficulties in the
party arose over the fight made by the
friends OF ex-senator Camden and eX-
Governor Wilson. while each was as
piring for the United States Senator
ship. The fight was bitter one, and
for a time il looked as though the trou-
bic would never De healed. The fac
tional feeling became intense. and as a
result persons who had even been life
long friends became the bitterest enc
mics and would refuse even 20 recognize
each other in business affairs. The
trouble led TO the election OF two Demo-
cratic Executive Committees, Will Fry
being chairman Of one. and Edward Fry,
his brother, chairman Of the other.
The meeting yesterday was 10 bring
harmony to the party. and many
PROMINENT DEMOCRATIC WORK
ERS
OF the State were present. AT the con-
vening OF the meeting each Of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committees agreed
to retire 10 a room, and proceeded to
name man for chairman, and that
each side be allowed 10 select three
members each OF the committee. This
was done and the result was satisfac-
tory. Hon. C. W. Ferguson, ex-mem-
Der of the Legislature was named as
chairman, and the other members OF
the committee are as follows: II. F.
Bowen, Frank Millinder. Nathan Per-
ry. Jr., A. Mills. William Ferguson and
Mitchell Wellman.
The vote was then taken by the vast
crowd present. and there was
NOT A DISSENTING VOICE
to the selection made by the two COM
mirtees. After this Hon. W. E. Chiffon
addressed the meeting for an hour in a
forcible and eloquent manner putting
forth the principles OF the party. He
was greeted with prolonged applause,
and was followed by Hon. Walter Pen
dleton. OF Roane county. who is an as
pirant for Congress in this district In
fact. the meeting was a regular love
feast among Democrats. and tonight
the Democrats of Wayne county are
united 10 a man and are ready TO turn
