lone Of the new inventions consists
Of copper wire fish line connected with
d battery which is carried in the boat.
When fish is hooked the fisherman
turns on the current by touching a lever
with his foot and the fish Is killed
deader than the proverbial door nail"
The man who fishes with such con-
trivance is a beast, and the quality Of
decency is not in him. Fishing by
electric shock? Why, the fellow who
will not pit his wit against the caution
of the wary fish and take his chances is
not q sportsman. The pleasure of fish
ing Is in the elusive character Of the
beautiful game, and the pleasant thrill
that shoots up the line, tingles along
the arm and quickens the brain of the
sportsman when he feels the shrewd
fellow take the hook. Why, there Is no
other sport comparable with it for keen,
genteel pleasure. Wild boars in Ger
man forests, elephants in the hot fast
nesses of India, and tigers in the jungle
are nothing in the taking compared with
the true nerve-thrilling delight of out
whiting the scaIy beauty that plays at
first and then battles with you at the
other end Of the line. Shock such to
death by electricity? Let the man who
has dared to suggest it be hunted down
and given a thousand volts himself.

DAVIS WAS HELD.
Brindupky Tells How He Was Robbed
of His Coin.

The examination of Joe Davis for rob-
berry was taken up again in the Police
Court yesterday morning.
Charles j. Brindupky, who lives near
Shingle Springs, testified that he came
to this city in the afternoon on the day
Of ths robbery. In the evening he was
down by the freight sheds. While there
he was assaulted by two or three men.
One of the men pinioned his hands
behind him, while another put his arm
over witness throat and mouth. They
went through all his pockets and took
his watch and $14 in gold and silver.
One Of them said: Hold on, he may
have some more somewhere else
He had $495 when he arrived in town,
but deposited all but about SIS in the
Hibernia Hotel before he went out He
had been drinking some beer The men
came UP behind him.
Other witnesses had on Tuesday tes-
tilted positively to seeing Davis commit
the robbery. The Court said that it was
evident that a robbery had been COM
mitted, and he thought the testimony
was strong enough to hold the defend
ant for trial. There was also a prior
conviction for petit larceny against him.
He would therefore hold him to answer
with bail fixed at $1,000

WHO'S SHOES?
Officer Bagley Captures Man Who
Was Trying to Sell a Pair.

About midnight on Tuesday night
officer Bagley received information that
a man had been trying to sell a pair OF
shoes at a saloon. He began a search
for him and finally located him at an
other saloon, on Seventh street.
AS Captain Ash was visiting the
beat they went to the place and found
the fellow trying to sell the shoes to the
barkeeper for four bits, and he finally
offered them for two bits. Bagley tipped
him the wink to buy them, and he did
So and Bagley then arrested the fellow,
who gave the name of Tom Smith. Be-
sides the shoes, he had in his posses
sion a pointed knife, such as cobblers
use in cutting leather.
The prisoner had been drinking some
but yesterday afternoon, when sober, he
admitted that the shoes were not his
but stoutly denied all knowledge of how
he came by them. The shoes, which
had just been half-soled and had not
since been worn, are at the police sta
ton awaiting an owner.

There will be a general meeting of
members of the Humane Society at
Justice Henry's office this evening. 1t
is desired that every member who can
attend will be on hand, as there will

are deserving Of humane treatment
should manifest an interest in the work
of the society and strengthen it's hands
as much as possible.

feeling for their dumb animals have
been forced to alter their mode Of treat
ment, while scores of persons have been
arrested and punished for acts Of in
humanity inflicted where tender care
and gentleness should have been prac-
ticed.
The society deserves to be fostered
and helped along in its efforts to pro-
tect dumb creatures from needless tor
ture, wherefore all persons who believe
in its noble aims are requested to at
tend to-night'S meeting.

THE CLASSY EYE.
What Citizens Receive in Response
to Their Petitions.

Much complaint has been made about
the manner in which the street sprink-
ling is being done-namely, the flooding
Of the entire width of the streets, one
block at a time. 1t is the old style Of
doing things, no restrictions whatever
having been placed by the Trustees on
the contractors, who are allowed to
follow their own sweet will. The wishes
of the people who pay them and the
Trustees for their services are entirely
ignored.
A Record Union" reporter yesterday
asked Henry Dehn, one of the contract
ors, If it would not be just as easy to
sprinkle one side Of street at time,
the whole length of his district, as to
do it block by block, soaking the whole
width of the street.
Mr.. Dehn replied that the improved
method could be followed just as easily
as the old one, and he would inaugurate
it in his district.
The City Trustees were petitioned by
scores of the citizens who placed them
in office to have the street sprinkling
regulated according to modern methods
in vogue in other cities, but their re-
quest has been ignored. AS usual, their
