Suffccated by MoIasses.

Charles Meth, baker at Chi
cago, suffocatcd himself with
molasses few days ago. He
was very fond of the stuff, and in
order to get enough he lay flat
OH his back on the floor, so that
when he opened the clip OH the
barrel The syrup would flow into
lis mouth. Then he opened his
rnouth and the clip, and was
literally drowncd by the syrup.
He was found dead with his
mouth open and the molasscs
pouring into it. He was known
as glutton, but was not strong
mentally, because Of all injury
on the head sustained III All acci-
dent some time since.

ing been packed Ill cal kegs con-
tanning 40 pounds each, is ship
ped via New York to Germany
and Russia, and for which the
fisherman receive from $50 to
$40 per keg on the beach. Said
caviar seems to be increasing in
value each year; the latter figure
being the price obtained this
season. This interest has in>
creased so rapidly that 100 boats
giving employment to over
zoo expert fishermen was
the outfit used for the present
season. The owner furnishing
boats valued at about sI25 each,
with netting, from one to two
thousand yards to the boat.
These boats are equipped with a
force of men who receive for
their wages specified value for
fish delivered ranging from $50
for male fish and S. 90 for female
fish. The flesh of these fish
goes packed II ice to New York
while the roe from the female is
converted into caviar as before
stated. Each fisherman receives
from $40 to 500 per week for the
fish they have delivered to the
oWuer of the outfit. These 25oI
men frequently receive as much
as $1,000 single week, while
the caviar maker, OF owner of
the outfit, not unfrequently OBJ
tains caviar valued at $40, the
eggs from three sturgeon which
has cost him about 5000.
