men regularly engaged in fishing find
species that are hew to them and which
they send for identification to the near

special attention to zoology, OF perhaps
to the Smithsonian institution at Wash

New York aquarium, whose present
head, DR.. Tarleton Ii. Bean, was for
merly ichthyclogist Of the United States

here for Identification. These have been
Chiefly from points within few hun

come from as far away as Mexico and
Alaska, of whose fishes Dr. Bean has
made special study.
Sometimes fishes sent for identified

their identification to the sender may
be in some instances the means OF eX-

Drawings of fishes are sometimes sent
for identification, but the fish itself Is
sent when it can be, and when it is pos
sible two specimens Of the same kind
are sent. When two are sent, ono is in
tended for the institution making the
Identification, to be added to it's own
collection or to be given to some other
institution, if it sees fit to dispose Of it
in that manner, being itself perhaps al
ready provided with specimens of that
kind. The other is returned to the send

prevail among naturalists and scientific
institutions the world over, and for the

The Independent Theatcr In Russia.

The organization Of the Free theater
was a notable event i'll our dramatic
life Early last year the first attempts
were made to produce literary and ar
tistic plays, and although there was no
regular company, the degree Of success
attained was gratifying. Among the
plays produced were Henry "" and
other Shakespearean dramas. Gerhardt
Hauptmann' ''Hannele" followed, and
had to be given Is times, the audiences
being large and enthusiastic. Encour-
aged by this sign Of public favor, the
managers leased theater, organized q
regular company and inaugurated q
series of remarkable productions of Rus
sian plays, new and old. Tolstoi's
Power of Darkness" was given, and
this alone was great service to art as
well as literature. The play was dis
cussed widely and thoroughly, and
created q sensation.
The Free Theater also secured special
permission of the authorities to produce
play by Potekhin. 1t is safe to say
that neither Of these plays would ever
have been staged by private managers.
A number of great foreign plays fol-
lowed-by Ibsen, Sudermann, Maeter-
linck, Victor Hugo and others. In all
70 performances were given, and the
average receipts were S02 rubles (said to
be unusually large for Russia). Consid
ering the great financial and artistic
obstacles which the movers in this en-
terprise had to overcome, the record of
the first year is excellent. The public
willingly patronized the Free theatcr,
and, at all events, there remains the
fact that new private theater has been
established which subordinates all con-
siderations to the true interests Of liter
ature and the drama Petersburg

Played Poker In a Poorhouse.

There has been pronounced stand
taken against gambling in some quar-
tiers at Portsmouth recently. The fire
and police departments have been Or
dered to abandon card playing, and a
full grown poker game has been broken
up at the infrmary.
1t appears that several of the inmates
receive small pensions and others earn
trifie occasionally for tobacco money

losing most Of it to some of their fellow
unfortunates who are skilled in the

crackers and grains of coffee as chips
and played in the basement Of the build
ing. A poker game in q poorhouse
might be considered sufficiently unusual
to be worth permitting to proceed as a
curiosity, but Superintendent Mershon
thought not and placed the participants

III the evening is he was about to so

,, his head to remove the needle and was
surprised to find that it was gone. Two
days later Mr.. Cummings began to feel
cxcruciating pains i'll tho right shoulder
and down the right side These pains
were so severe that on July 10 he was
obliged to quit work and consulted DR..
, Myron T. GARNER, who, thinking that
rheumatism was to blame, prescribed
liniments and mustard plasters, both of
which were used with good effects, and
lat the end of u week MI. Cummings
went to work again.
Then the pains began bothering him
again, and seemed to keep moving down
the right side, lower each day. 1t was
with great difficulty that Mr.. Cummings
was able to keep his position until March

was bothered so much by rhuematism
that he must leave the place, as it was
damp. On April 1 Mr. Cummings was
seized with sharp pains right below tho
right hip, which bothered him so much
that he began an investigation, which
revealed little bunch about the size OF
a pea. The spot was very much inflam-
ed and applications Of liniment did not
! allay the pain.
At last Mr. Cummings went to DIR.

an examination. After examining the

his room, when he was seized with more
