FISHING.

The shad fishing season has opened
very discouIagingly, as but few shad
have been caught yet. Some of the
fishermen have been in the Bay over
two weeks and have not caught 100
shad. About 40 has been the high
catch there the first of the week, while
the catch ON Thursday improved, the
steamer having 1900 up Thursday night.
: The catch at Penn's Grove has been
next to nothing, 0, l, 2 and 8 to a drift
being the usual catch this week. This
time last year from rs to 100 were being
caught. Some nets caught Is this Fri
day morning.
The sturgeon fishermen are busy rig
ging out for Cape Shore and Bay Side.
Some left this week and the remainder
will leave next week.
Some of the sturgeon fishermen had a
very profitable season last year and
many have rugged out new boats and
made a good season for our boat build
ers. Samuel Simpkins has built nine
new sturgeon skiffs for u fishermen
the past year aud rebuilt one. Harry
Sailor has built Eve and Samuel Town
send four, making a total of 10. Two
or three were built elsewhere for our
fishermen. These boats cost S210 full
rig, so it will be seen u sturgeon fish
ermen have invested about $4,000 in
new boats for this springs fishing.
Peter Keen who is our Oldest boat
builder has built two or three shad
skiffs for fishermen.

TOUCHES OF BEAUTY

Greet you at every turn. The
old rambling buildings are as
plain as a greenhouse without.
A step and you are in the
midst of the brightness of
Spring. Merchandise from
three continents contributes
most of the beauty. 1t has
been CLEANED by a corps of
globe-trotters especially for
Philadelphia shoppers, No
wonder that such unmatched
collections of goods should
tempt women from far and
near to become Philadelphia
shippers, no matter where they
live. A bright style-hunter
says she has made her last
trip to Paris, for a day at
Wanamaker's is as instructive
as six weeks stay in Paris.
And she is right. To this
gathering of style and beauty
a hearty welcome!

1t was the lady's hour for her evening bath,

admission to the French Academy, but on only
one occasion has he como anywhere near an
election. He first presented himself as q candi-

without result on May In an effort to make a

eight. At this balloting Zola began with five
votes and ended with one. At the election at
which Pierre Lott was chosen. after six ballots.
in May. 1891, Zola began with eight votes and
ended with none. He got ten votes out OF thirty
1892. which chose Ernest Lavisse.
This was for long time high-water mark.
He was a candidate at each OF the Ave elections
held in 1898 and eight was the highest figure

mician, was chosen. When an election was

of their sactons-sometmcs they win and
sometimes they lose. The last Government
crop report concerning cotton was Issued on
Friday last, and indicated II crop of something
like $3.50, 900 bales, which would make the
next crop about 100000 bales in excess of the
last crop. 1t had been indicated that the report

THE ONLY MYSTERY
ABOUT A WATCH

is in the marvellous instruments of precision
used in its construction. Pocket
timepieces are not called upon to produce
anything, like looms and sewing machines,
or furnish or transmit power, like steam
engines or d ynamos. All that is asked of
them is to run their allotted number of
hours with extreme regularity, measuring
the last hour of the twenty-four with
exactly the same number of minutes and
seconds as the first, through all changes
of temperature or varying positions.
The secret of success here is sim
plicity and absolute accuracy. These
have been made possible by the Waltham
model, the wonderful machinery at
Waltham and the skilled American
mechanics there. Such combination
of perfect watch and a reasonable
price has never before been possible in
the history of matchmaking.
