WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.
Mrs. Patterson's Astonishing Be-
fore-Bre akfast Catch.
She Lands Two Fish Weighing in All aa7
Pounds-It Took Twenty Minutes
to Land One, and Sixteen
to Get the Other.

A picture of the new woman angler,
with two of her catches, is shown here
with. The lady's name is Mrs. j. N.
Patterson, and she lives in Philadel-
phia. The fish were caught while Mr..
Patterson lay asleep in bed at his hotel
in Florida, Mr.. Patterson is himself
n good angler, but he is not so earnest
the two fish weighs 12o pounds, and is
six feet long. The smaller weighs 107
pounds and is five feet eight inches in
length. They are both tarpons, or
silver kings" as they are known
among the sportsmen of the south.
They are fine to look at, having beau
tiful scales, but are not very good to
eat. 1t is said that none but a colored
person will eat tarpon. The same is
said with regard to sturgeon and
coon.
Both beautiful specimens were caught
by Mrs. Patterson after the exercise of
considerable patience and skill. On
the day before Mr.. Patterson had made
a fairly large catch, and had taunted
Mrs. Patterson thereat, saying that a
woman might ride the bicycle, but she
couldn't catch fish. Stung by this
bantering Mrs. Patterson rose early the
next morning, called her boatman and
rowed out on the Caloosahatchie river,
where tarpons are said>to abound. The
morning was pleasant and there was
every indication that the tarpons were
hungry.
In very short time one was hooked,
and then began an exciting struggle.

How to Purify rurbId Water.

Turbid water is, in some way as yet
insuficiently explained, made clear by
the Indian plan of putting a piece of
alum into it. The alum appears to
unite with the mud, and to form a
clayey deposit. Independently of this
action it has an astringent effect on
organic matters; it hardens them, and
they subside to the bottom Of the YES
sci, instead of being diffused in a glairy,
viscous state throughout the water.
No taste of alum remains in the water,
unless it has been used in great excess
Three thimblefuls of alum will clarity
q bucketful of turbid water.

The tarpon is very timid fish OF the
herring kind, and his timidity, coupled
with his great size and strength, make
him desirable prey to the angler. In
fishing for them strong, stiff rod is
used, about seven feet long, TO which
is attached $50 yards of strong line,
wound Ground reel. The hook is
about as big as gaff, The bait is a
piece of mullet, fresh cut from the fish.
The tarpon nibbles the bait slowly,
and on account of the hardness of the
jaws Il is useless to attempt to catch
him until he has swallowed the hook.
Altogether, the creature may be said
to be in every way fit to provide sport
for the new woman angler.
After Mrs. Patterson had hooked her
fish it took 20 minutes of hard
fighting to tire him out. Then he was
hauled mp alongside and gated by an
enormous hook fastened to a pole.
This implement was handled by the
boatman, Mrs. Patterson relaxing the
feminine character of the proceedings
far enough to permit Of his humble as
sistance.
A 1O7-pound fish is pretty fair catch
for a woman, especially before break
fast, and it might have been expected
that the lady would have returned to
the hnte! satisfied. But not so. The
hook was baitcd afresh, and in less
than an hour another bite was had; the
line slowly ran over the side of the
boat, and then the time for striking
came. The monster made heroic efforts
to break away, but there was new
woman on the other end of the line and
all his struggles were unavailing. She
let the fish leap and roll and plunge
and dive as il would, the line was al
ways stretched out to the proper de-
gree of tautness.
1t took 16 minutes to kill this fish.
Mrs. Patterson was back at the hotel
before IL o'clock, and her husband
could scarce believe his ears when she
told him the story. But he believed his
eyes when he saw the fish. Mrs. Pat
terson now claims the championship in
the matter of tarpon-catching before
breakfast. Hers is the biggest basket
that has ever been caught by woman.
Of course none but the new woman
could have done it.
The tarpon contains great quantity
of oil, for which reason it is not very
choice article of food. The beautiful
silvery scales with which it is covered
constitute it's greatest value. They vary
IN size, being from two to four inches
in diameter, and are not unlike the in
side of native oyster shell, although
more silvery. When dried they are re-
markedly tough, and do not lose any OF
that brilliancy they display on the live
creature

EIGHTH DISTRICT.

On last Saturday there was q Sun
day School celebration at Antioch.
The exercises consisted of some excel
lent speeches from various speakers.on
the great subject of Sunday School
work. The choir at that place also
gave some music of rare and cultured
qualities. At noon, as the politicians
say, the audience wanted a change"
So the good people of that place set
forth their hospitality by spreading
out to the public q magnificent repast
which could not have been otherwise
than both pleasing and palatable to the
most f%astidious. Rev. James Bass
preached at Union on last Sunday.
He took as a basis for his remarks the
Subject of Conversion. He certainly
handled his subject with ungioved
hands. w. II. H. Dunn is slowly re,
covering from a severe case of typhoid
fever. Rapturous smiles are beaming
from w. II. Faust's face in numbers
inhumerable. Its q girl and a gold
standard Republican. The Sunday
School at Union is in a thriving condi
ton. 1t has continued necessarily fol
over twenty years maintaining an av
erage that can not be surpassed by any
country school in the county. Quite
number of people from this vicinity
attended the meeting at Pleasant Val
day. The schools have all opened in
this district. The attendance is toler
ably good, but not as good as the pa
irons should make it. They don't seem
to realize the great responsibility that
rests upon them. They should bear II
mind that teachers receive the same pay
whether..the school be small or large.
The speaking at Greenwood last
Thursday night was very enthusiastic
Judge Lindsay and Maj. Pettibone
made stirring speeches for sound
money and protection. Ebert Reeves,
of johnson City, made a talk for free
silver. The crowd was 10 to 1 in favor
of the Republicans. The sound money
spirit is running very high in this dis
trict. We now have $40 members in
the Mckinley club and it will soon
reach about 200. Last Saturday night
WAS a hilarious" time at BELLS School
House. Hon. Edward Duncan and T.
b. Hacker discussed the issues of the
day from an intelligent standpoint,
also Mr.. Hoss, of johnson City, gave
some clean cut, far reaching argu-
ments in favor of sound money. BILL.
