TARPoN FISHING.
4 Texans Experience With the Most
Thrilling Sport In the World.

q Texans Experience With the Most
Thrilling Sport In the World.
A Texas sportsman, in Forest and
Stream, gives an account Of an exciting
experience while fishing for tarpon in
Galveston bay. He says:
AS had made my arrangements to
return to Houston at 2 O'Clock, told
the boatman that if he would give me
one more fresh mullet would bait the
hook, and, when that was taken, we
would go in. He gave me the mullet,
put his oars in the locks and was ready
to start when I threw my bait over
board. I had not got three feet from the
boat before there was mighty splash.
Water was thrown all over me, and my
mullet was taken by tarpon. was
scarcely prepared for him, but at the
same time prevented his getting too
much line, and the reel sang the pret
tiest kind of song, until he had gone
about SO feet, that I ever heard. At
this distance he jumped at least 10 feet
out of the water, and, finding l had
him safe, I gave him no more slack
whatever. He turned Immediately out
the channel to sea against the tide and
continued his rapid gait, jumping clear
of the water every 100 feet or SO until
he had jumped nine times. He kept up
the pace until he had gone 8 miles to
sea and into very deep water.
II had no control of him whatever,
and he had taken on several occasions
during this outward sea movement
nearly all my line, at least $50 feet.
After. this distance he turned to the left
and went at least miles, until he
got into Or feet of water. Then
he turned back across the channel and
went on the opposite side of it, probably
~ miles. After ~ hours he went
back into water 81 or feet deep, and
had some hope of getting him into
water where 1 could gaff him. But,
without warning, he turned to sea again
and did not stop until he had gone 1 u
miles. This fish took us around over
the bay for 51s hours, and distance of
not less than IL or 13 miles I found 1
had no control over him, and knew
had him foul in some way, because no
pressure that dared bring to bear
seemed to turn his head, and when |
got him broadside toward me and en-
deavored to hold him would draw him |
broadside to me, and not head foremost,
which told me I had him hooked some
where in the side.
After I had worn out Captain frank |
Marsh, my boatman and myself, and |
we had on several occasions almost de- |
cided to cut the line and let the fish go, |
we began to have a little control over |
him, and worked him toward shallow |
water, and at 81 got him into water |
about 3 y feet deep, and the captain got |
into the water himself and worked up |
to the fish and gated him, as he had a |
gaff with handle about 6 feet long |
After he got the gaff into the tarpon he |
drew him toward the boat, and killed |
him with an oar -

TDe Demand for Wheat.

LONDON, Oct 27.-In an article on
the demand for wheat and the supply
of that cereal the Daily Telegraph
says: The stoch of foreign wheat at
the principal British ports, it is said,
would not suffice to feed the country
for fortnight. The slight fall in
American exchanges on Saturday gave
the English markets downward ten
dency, but it is the opinion of one of
the best known corn factors in Mar
ket Lane that American wheat will
speedily rise with a bang, and that by
Christmas prices will be much further
enhanced. During the recent excite
ment speculation in England and
America was carried beyond reason
able bounds, but in the market the
opinion is expressed that at least
proportion of the rise will be retained.
and that the era of low prices is for
the time being ended.

Gen. Lees Vacation Postponed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, consul general at Havana,
has given up his proposed visit to his
home in Virginia, which he had ex-
pected to make within the next few
days. The determination to remain at
his post is understood to be due to the
reports current in the United States
that he was dissatisfied with his in
strlctions and desired to be relieved.
AS his return might give seeming ap-
proval to the reports. the consul gen.
eral determined to give up the vaca-
tion he had planned, although he is
much in need of change of scene,
owing to the hardships of the Havana
during tns last six months.

HARMONIOUS HINTS.

/ must not be forgotten that the lamp
shade greatly adds 10. or detrac cts from,
the effect OF our table decoration. A
table arranged with da ffodils the other
day was completely spoiled by the
heavy crimson silk shade in use. 1t threw
such strong light direct upon the flow
ers that they appeared To be of dirty
white instead OF a deep yellow color, nd
the rest OF the room was in almost total
darkness. light green shade would have
thrown up the yellow tints and have been
pleasant TO the eyes and tn the appearance
of the room. An orange or deep pink shade
would have cast a ooppery glow over the
flowers, whilst yellow silk shade with
lining of white, or with frilis of white lace,
would have completed the harmony OF the
table, whereas the dark crimson had totally
marred the effect. Where expense has to
be considered. the shades need not be made
of silk, but OF the fine crinkled paper which,
when prettily arranged very closely re-
scmbles silk. In this way they will not
cost much, and can be frequently changed,
using colors that will harmonic with cur
flowers, for, after all, it is the harmony,
and not the oostliness, of our table decora-
tons which produces the most charming
results.
