each boat and net, the latter being from
three-fourths of mile to one mile long.
lhe catch OF the 100 boats during an aver
age season is about 200, 600, the catch daily
being sent to the Philadelphia, Baltimore
and New York markets. The "gillers'
start down the river at about Poole's Island
and gradually work up until they reach
Spesuta Island, and then they cannot 90
much farther on account of the shoal water
When the "gillers' reach this place the
Battery Fish Matching Station is put in
operation and gives employment to about
40 persons, who are used in collecting the
spawn.
The Matching station employees are taken
in steam launch and distributed among
the "gillers." After the "drift" they are
taken up again by the launch and brought
back to the Matching station They are
provided with pans and implements neces-
sary for spawn-taking. This branch is a
source of revenue for the ''gillers," as they
are allowed to retain the fish, which is sold
with the others, not much of the oe having
been taken.
An interesting feature of the Susque-
hanna fishing is the seine nets, which are
operated northward of Spesutia Island.
There are dozen or more OF these large
nets, some of them making a circuit of
three miles and requiring four hours to
make haul. Sometimes as many as GO
men are employed with one net, and either
a steam engine at each end or several
horses to haul the net into shore. These
large seines give employment to something
like 110O men, most of whom ale oyster
dtedgers; they, having endured the expos
ure of winter, are better able to endure the
hard work. Most OF the men are negroes,
they being recognized as the best oarsmen,
and it requires some strength for 20 or %
men to prope one of these large seinehoats
loaded with miles of rope and net. The
seine fishermen now largely depend on their
catch OF pack herring, although large guam
titles of shad and other fish are taken
In the vicinity OF this place there are
SaIted annually about 10000 barrels of
herring, representing something like 20
0ho, 900 herring, and when the remaining
fresh herring are sold the catch will amount
t" about 81, 0O0,00 1t is not unusual for
800 or 400 barrels of fish to be caught in
one haul, sometimes as high as 800 being
made, although the fish are now disappear
ing and the catches are not quite so large
AS they were three or four years ago. The
salt product of these fisheries is mostly
sold and used in the Southern States, par
ticularly ViIginia.-J. A. c. in Pliladel-
pha Ledge.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes ears and throat, and is in
fact the great enemy OF the mucous mem
brane. Neglected colds in the head al
most invariably precede catarrh causing
an excessive flow OF mucus, and if the mu-
cous discharge becomes interrupted the
disagraeable results OF catarrh will follow,
such as bad breath, severe pain across fore
head and about the eyes, a roaring and
buzzisg sound in the ears and oftentimes
very offensive discharge. Elys Cream
Balm is the acknowledged cure for these
troubles.

GRANTLEY HAD A GUN.
Mr.. MAYOR Took It From Him and Had
Him Locked I'm

John j. Grantley was arrested last even
Ing for drawing a loaded revolver on Mr.
c. E. Naylor OF Brooklyn, N. Y. and locked
up at the Second. precinct station on tie
charge of carrying concealed weapons.
Mr.. MAYOR has been in the city only q
few days and is visiting his father, Mr..
James G. Naylor, who lives at No. 456 NJ

Mr.. MAYORS head. On reaching o street
Mr.. Nayiot aligned and proceeded to his
fathers house He had only gone few
steps when, turning around, he saw Grant
ley in the rear. The latter followed him to
Sixth street and again drew his revolver.
Mr.: sNaylor took the weapon from him
and for few moments there was des-
perate struggle. GIaDtley was finally
thrown and held down until Policeman

Opposite his name is entered the word

at Emergency summed up the case After
a careful diagnosis of the patient, they

was found by the POLICE at the corner of

His eyes were wild and his gaze intent.
He was mute on any subject except the
subject of religion. He tried TO convert the
policeman who arrested him. The police
man resented this. He was taken TO the
station and then to the Emergency Hos
pital. Tie surgeons found that the only
thing from which he suffered was" whe els. g"
He was discharged. Later he returned to
