THE STRIPED BASS.
An glers Can Catch Them with Hool,
and Line Near San PahIn

An glers Can Catch Them With Hook
and Line Near San Pablo.
Anglers who have yearned for an op-
portunity 10 catch striped bass with hook
and line can now look forward to some
good sport. On Sunday two fishermen.
John Wilson and Edward Mogan, were
bait-fishing in San Pablo slough for cat
fish when Wilson hooked bass which he
judged was five or SIX pounds in weight.
Not being properly rugged for game fishes.
Mr.. Bass made short work of his tackle.
He then attached larger hooks to his line
and succeeded in hooking and landing a
three-pound bass. The angler states that
he had seen several bass jumping and
they appeared to be chasing some small
fishes which are quite plentiful in the
slough. Wilson thinks that with the
proper paraphernalia good sport can be
had near the mouth of the slough where
the water Is deep.

election last year, and the World for
several days had, in open letters to the
President, been calling upon him to
90 there and save the State. In the
meantime" said President Cleveland
to the gentleman, II received such
urgent letters from the State as caused
me to write letter accepting the in
vitation. The letter of acceptance had
been mailed. and later l saw copy
of the World for the first time that
dav; it demanded that / should go to
Rhode Island" and here the President
added: ''The only thing | minded 60
ing there for was because that paper
might have thought it had something
to do with it, but | had to go because
| had accepted before | saw this So
called demand" The gentleman said
the President was entirely unin-
fuenced by press demands" and
comments, and, in this light, the claim
this morning by the World that 1T had
made the President reconsider and
make a public loan may no doubt be
put down in the buncombe class of the
Rhode Island incidents. Moreover,
Mr.. Hill said in the Senate that he did
not believe the President had made
any contract with Morgan, and Mr..
Carlisle's circular proves the correct
ness of Mr.. Hills surmise, SO that it
has seemingly been a case of much
clamor with little basis. Moreover,
Sherman was. silenced effectually
when Mr.. Hill read to him his con-
tracts with the same crowd in 1878
and 1879 Sherman seemed almost
confused as he fngured the leaves of
the book, while the New Yorker
pounded him. 1t was, perhaps, the
worst drubbing he has got in many
a day, unless that given by Mills
few moments later was worse. Mills
told him that the Mckinley bill was
entitled bill ''To Raise Revenue"
and did decrease revenue, which cut
all the core out of the old Ohio foX's
contention.

A BIG BANK CHECK FORGERY.
4 Nevada Bank is Much Wiser and just
$4,000 Poorer.

Chicago, H., Jan GA dispatch
from San Francisco says:
One of the cleverest check forgeries
perpetrated here for years has just
leaked out 1t cost Nevada bank 500
600. and it presents some new wrinkles
in forgery to local experts. December
10th, A. IL. Holmes, a merchandise
broker who has office in the Chronicle
building, and who had done some bust
ness through the Nevada bank, pre-
scented check at that bank drawn to
his order on the Crocker-Woolwo
bank, of this city, for $4,000. The
check was drawn in Woodland, Cal,
and Holmes explained that he turned it
in for collection to save the trouble of
identifying himself at the Croker
Woolworth bank.
As he had had an account at the Ne
vada bank for several months, and had
deposited and drawn considerable
sums, the Cashier did not suspect any
thing. The check appeared all right
SO the cashier put $4,000 to Holmes
credit and paid him in gold $4,000.
That is the last that has been seen of
Holmes or the coin.
When the check reached the Wood
land bank through the Clearing House,
inquiry was made at once, as the only
check drawn by this bank on the
Croker bank, near the date of this
bogus check, was for $12. Experts
were put on the case and microscopic
examination showed that Holmes had
raised the SIP check to $4,000, and
had not only made erasures so as to
defy naything but microscopic in
vestigation, but had filled in the per-
forated figures. and had made new
peIforations of $4,000.

another drink?-Roanoke Herald.

TO SAIL FASTER.

Scheme of an italian Sea Captain For
Improving Sail Power.
1t is hard to believe that the speed of
a sailing vessel can be increased by bor-
ing holes in her sails; but an Italian sea
captain claims to have conducted expert
ments which go a long way toward prov
ing it. His theory is that the force of the
wind cannot fairly take effect on an in
f1ated sail, because of the cushion of i'm
movable air which fills up the hollow.
To prevent the formation of this cushion,
the captain bored number of holes in
the sail. These holes let through the air
which would otherwise have been retain
ed in the hollow of the SAIL and allow
ed the wind to exercise its whole power
by striking fairly against the sail itself.
Several trials of this device have been
made, and it has been found that in a
light wind a boat with ordinary sails
made four knots, while with the perforat-
ed sails she covered five and a quarter
knots. In fresh breeze she made seven
knots with the ordinary, and eight and
three-quarter knots with the perforated
sails; and in a strong wind she made eight
knots with the old, and ten knots with the
new sails. This gain-from twenty to
twenty-five per CENTS of so much i'm
portance that the experience will be re-
peated on a larger scale.
