NEGRO WHO RAISED BILLS.
George Lindsey Will BE Sentenced in
Federal Court To-day.

Federal Court To-Day.
George Lindsey. the colored man arrested
two weeks ago for passing raised bills, was
placed on trial in the Federal Court yester-
day, but pleaded guilty before the govern
ment had concluded its evidence. For five
or six months past Lindsey has been rails
ing 81 bills to the denomination of S.. doing
the work himself with an eraser and pen.
His work was very clumsy, and the wonder
is that he succeeded In passing any of the
bills, yet the authorities had no less than
twenty complaints of these raised bills that
had been passed upon saloons and grocers
by negro. Lindsey was hard man to
describe, and the chances are that he would
never have been caught had not one of his
victims trapped him into waiting in his
store while he went out, ostensibly to get
change, and telephoned for the police. This
man, Scott Osborne, testified against him
yesterday. and a number of Others identified
him. Lindsey finally gave up and entered
a plea of guilty. He will be sentenced
later.

Controller Johnson says the report that
no arrangements to place the police and
fire telegraph alarms underground has
been made by the city is incorrect. There
was meeting for discussion of this
question Saturday. Mr.. Johnson says that
as a matter of fact the Gamewell Company
Is required in its contract with the city to
place all police alarm wires underground.
A similar contract with the telephone
company required 1t to place fre-alarm
wires in its conduits. He says it is
now urged that both the police and fire
alarm wires should be in one cable, and
that this question was the subject at the
conference Saturday At the Office of the
Board of Safety it is said that the contract
with the telephone company only contem-
plated wires already in use and that 1t is
Insisted now that additional wires should go
into the cable for future use after the
present supply becomes inadequate. No
report of the meeting was given to report
ers Saturday afternoon, and the informa-
ton used was received in a roundabout
way.

The matter of n national fish commits
sion was brought to the attention of
Congress and the President many times
before anything was done about 1t. but
in February, 1871, Congress passed a
joint resolution which authorized the
appointment of a commission of fish
and fisheries. Prof. Baird was ap-
pointed and entered at once upon his
duties, and his efficient service won for
himself the title of the first fish cultur-
LIST in the world" and placed the Amer
lean fisheries in the front Of all others.
Al the present time there are stations
located all over the country.

UNCLE SANS FISH COMMISSION
Important Branch of the Government
of Which the Public Knows Little.

The work of the United States Fish
Commission is perhaps as little under
stood by the people of the country gen.
orally as any branch Of the govern
ment. While it is not a division of any
one of the nine great departments, it is
created by the President of the United
States, its officers are appointed by
him, and the work it Is accomplishing
is of great Importance to several indus
tries of the country.
In order to supply the demand for
food, fish culture must be resorted to in
every thickly-populated country, for
with the utmost protection the demand
Is always greater than the supply I'M
less nature is aided in Its production Of
fish. Benjamin Franklin and other
prominent Americans were strong ad-
vocates of fish culture and practiced
the transplanting of fish in the closing
years of the last century, but it was
not until the early sos that much at
tention was given to the matter in the
United States. At about this time the
scientific men of the country began to
Investigate the American streams, and
they were not long in discovering that
they were being rapidly cleared out.
They expressed grave fears that the
coast waters might also become deci-
mated of their finny inhabitants. Steps
were very o o taken by the different
States to prevent such a catastrophe;
in 1868 Massachusetts, appointed the
first fish commission; in 1868 New York
appropriated $1,000 for the same pur-
pose. Gradually the other States have
followed suit until now almost every
one has its fish commission, and since
its first appropriation New York has
spent over $%350,00O for this object. In
1870 Prof. Baird, then of the Smith
sonian Institution, fitted up a station
at Woods Holl, on the southern coast
of Massachusetts, at his own expense.
n maintained it for two years, max
Ing many valuable demonstrations of
what could be done with a hatchery.
