A CURIOUS CATCH.
Strange Manner in Which n Stolen
Bicycle Was Recovered.
From the Boston Transcript

From the Boston transcript
Among the residents of Bermuda are
two brothers, one of whom, besides being
an enthusiastic yachtsman, is also a swift
and skilful rider of the bicycle. Some
time ago shortly before the da tie set for
a bicycle race in which he was to be one
of the contestants, his wheel mysteriously
disappeared, and all efforts to find trace
of it proved fruitless.
One day, about fourteen months after
the bicycle had been presumably stolen,
a fisherman, who was angling out In the
middle of st. Georges harbor for floating
fish, hooked a large one, which instantly
plunged into the depths of the harbor in
a vain endeavor to escape. The angler
played with him for a while. and then,
feeling the line tighten in his hand and
the strain become steady began to haul
up. He soon realized that he had at the
end of his line one of the heaviest catches
which he had ever made, and (what he
could not understand about it, that it was
apparently almost a dead weight. He
hauled away however, until their appear
ed above the water not only the fish that
ne had hooked, but a bicycle, round the
handles Of which the fish, in its efforts TO
escape, had wound the line a number OF
times.
When the astonished fisherman had suf-
ficienty recovered from his amazement
at his curious CATCH he took the bicycle
ashore. There it was soon identified as
the one which had so ineXplicably disap-
peared. Strange to say the machine, in
spite Of the fact that It had been at the
bottom of the harbor for fourteen months,
was but little damaged, and was easily
put in running order again.
For some time no clew as TO how it
found its way to It's watery hidng-place
could be discovered. Eventually, how
ever, several circumstances came to light
that pointed TO a man with whom the Di-
cycle rider had once had trouble. At one
time whenever he rode past this mans
place the dogs which were kept there,
would run out and bark and snap at the
rider, causing him considerable annoy
ance and trouble. At first he contented
himself with simply driving off the brutes
as best he could, but when he found that
they were set upon him by their master he
took prompt measures TO have the man
arrested, brought into court and fined.
From various circumstances that were
found out regarding the disappearance or
the bicycle, there seemed to be no doubt
that the owner Of the ugly dogs Was re-
sponsible for a., and that he stole the
machine and sunk lt In the harbor in
order to be revcnged on its owner.

LEIGH FARMING IN NEW JERSEY.
A Handsome Return From "A Few
Acres of Mud swamp.


Lacy. N. j., Aug 2S.--A leech farm,
where the blood-sucking creatures are
raised for profit, is one Of the latest in
dustries in this country, and James Par
tit, Jersey farmer living on Toms river,
about five miles from Lacy, is response
BILE for its introduction. The farm really
consists Of an old muddy swamp cover
ing several acres of territory, with the
water up to the knees flooding the greater
part Of it. 1t might have made a good
cranberry bog had the owner drained It,
or a FISH pond If It had been cleaned out,
or probably better stila, a good frog pond
But Farmer Partit is OF an original turn
of mind and having heard of the trade
in leeches he determined 10 find out II
there was not an opening for him. He
knew that the common leech fiourished In
his swampy pond, for they had often at
tached themselves TO the legs OF his boys
while wadlng through the water after
bulfrogs and fish.
A little investigation convinced him that
the trade I'm leeches even In these days Is
sufficiently large to warrant the establish
ment Of a regular Ieech pond. The annual
consumption Of leeches In Paris amounts
to nearly 100000, and London receives
about 100000 monthly Commercially re-
garded. the leech is a subject of great in
terest in Europe, and vast quantities are
raised in Germany. Hungary and Russia.
Hamburg is the chief exporting point,and
they are obtained there from the lakes OF
Pornerania and Bradenburg and from Po-
sen In Prussia. Thousands Of the leech-
es grow naturally in the muddy waters
of these lakes, and they are captured by
the men. who wade in the water and al
low them TO attach themselves TO their
legs The fishermen pull them OFF and
throw them in a bag slung over their
shoulder. They are then packed In damp

(Applause.) Remember. the President
cannot act until congress has acted. and
it may be that the vote of one member of
congress may determine whether free
coinage will be successful. l know not
what position you may take on other sub

domination in our financial affairs, If you
are opposed to syndicates running this

in favor of the immediate restoration of

let your ballots express what you think
and let no one have your suffrage who
does not stand squarely on that platform.

RICHMOND's POPULIsTs.
They VIII BE Allowed Managers at
the POIIs-Big Cotton Receipts.

lhG OllS-DA& 0OANOh ACCelDNSs
Augusta, Ga. Sept lin an interview
to-day Judge w. F. Eve of the city court
announces to the populists that he will
allow them representation at the polls in
Richmond county. He says he will not al
low the populists to say who he shall APP
point as he is responsible for the election
managers. and will appoint only men that
he thinks are suited for the work While
not obhgating himself to name the one re-
commended by the populists, he never
theless invites them to suggest suitable
names for each precinct from which he
can choose. This is not a new departure
in Richmond county, however, as the pop
ulists have been accorded representation
in every election from 1892 on.
This year is a record breaker in cotton
receipts for Augusta. To-day the receipts
were 5O66, the largest receipts on record
for any single day. Since Sept. l, the
opening of the new cotton year, the re-
ceipts at Augusta have been 81, SlS bales
aginst S,545 at the same date last year.
The exact registration for Richmond
county is STA. The percentage of blacks
is not known, but less than 1000 populists
have registered.

Most of the leeches are shipped either to
New York or Philadelphia. and from these
points they are distributed to the trade
throughout the country Nearly half a
million leeches are annually taken from
the farm, and as they are sold to the
wholesale trade at 20 to 30 cents per hum
dred, the farmer makes a pretty good
profit from his few acres of waste swamp
land.

some reason, best known himself. called
the game on account of darkness. 1t was
then only 4:45 O'Clock, and the Philadel-

The man whe struggled to give
this republic to their children
showed good sense in not bequeath-
ing Gu aristocray to them. The
great Washington refused to be
made a king and generations of
freemen will hold him in reverence
for that act while men live. There
are Americans who wish to ape for
eign lords and others who strive
to marry their daughters to mobiles
with great titles, but the majority
of Americans are satisfied with
plain democratic ways. We have
monopolies enough at home with
out importing them. The too
countries need not fight over their
different forms Of government. They
need not quarrel over national
traits. Both countries have great
aims, and the citizens of each land
have great faults. There is way
out which Christianity and civiliz-
alton can reach. That is arbitra-
ton.
1t it said that Justice Harlan of
the United State Supreme Court
advocates theory, "that differences
between the United States and
Great Britain be settled by COM
mission composed by an equal
number of judges of Her Majesties
High Court of Justice and of the
United States Supreme Court"
This should be satisfactory to
all right minded men. It is the
Christian way to settle disputes.
It would exalt our religion.
1t would honor Christ.
It would be bond of unity
among all English speaking people
It would set an example to all
nations and be the beginning of
universal brotherhood without war
It would do away with expensive
ornaments between to great powers
and lessen taxation and take bur-
dens away from the people and be
loving, sensible and godlike.

English troubles were greater
magnitude and the prospect of a
European war demanded wisdom
among princes and citizens. Some
think that the English speaking
people have reached such a pitch
of civilization that it would be a
difficult matter to create open
hostilties between them even
though the Monroe doctrine con-
tains great principle. It is GER
tain that war would cause much
suffering and desolation in many
homes in our own happy country,
devastate great cities on the border
and cause disaster and ruin to COM
merical relations for which small
strip of land in South America

cans are proud and decidedly stub

their respective governments. A
mericans think that England is in
clined to push other nations. In
years gone by Englishmen have
looked down upon the literature,
commerce and social relations of
Americans: "They had a nosal

Said he knew that Joseph Smith
was prophet of God and that he
was always friend to the Poor.
Said it was the duly Of the
Saints to know for themselves that
the gospel was true. Advised the
saints, young and old, to SO live
that we can be recommended to
the Temple of the Lord and per-
form the labor necessary for the
redemption of our dead.
James L. Bunting, of Kanab,
said it is very gratifying to meet
with the saints and perform duty
in partaking os the sacrament of
the Lords supper and thereby
show to God that we do remember
Him and are united in keeping his
commandments. Spoke of the
time when he, with others, 38
years ago, crossed the ocean and

"come let us 60 up to the house of

raise from the earth the comforts
