WHITE BAIT.
Formerly Indigenous to England
Now Abundant in America.

1t seems that not many persons are aware
that the delicate whitehall, which are con-
,s!dered such delicacy in England. are ma
-tives OF the waters hereabouts and that aft a
certain season they swarm in the 'ncIosed
waters about New York, says the New York
Sun. They are the fry of the alew.fe and
during the latter part Of the summer thew are
TO be found in the harbor and the inlets and
rivers connected with it in enormous num-
bers. They travel about in schools and are
apparently as playful kittens If Won
drift down upon a school OF this little fish
they VIII let you approach until you can
almost. touch them. but if you make a single
movement every little tail goes UP With a
flash and they disappear.
An 1dIer watching a school Of white bait on
the shrewsbury river one day last summer
saw them cutting up some amusing capers. A
little stick had drifted into the swarm of DEL
ieate striped fishes. Presently one little
whitehall darted out Of the water and sprang
clear over the stick. Then another went over
it. Others followed, leaping from the same
side and then another lot of them began
leaping over the stick from the other side.
Pretty soon the air in the eighborhood- of the
stick was alive with the fishes, some leaping
over 1t in one direction and some In another
and as the sunlight was caught and reflected
from their silvery sides and from the broken
water they threw up as they played IL
was sent forth in brilliant prismatic colors.
The watcher drifted slowly nearer and the
play was going on more furiously than ever
just under his eyes and not four feet away,
when he incautiously moved his head. There
was one wild flash and then the game ended
and moment later there was nothing left
Of the fish circus except the little stick.

Urday was the climax of a remarka-
BILE comedy Of love and woe, in which
q number of cookers from Adelaide and
Leisenring, two tickle maidens and the
law played prominent parts, says the

ago Mrs. Fred Munk employed as a
domestic in her home a dainty and
laughing Hungarian maiden named Eft

lovski, of Adelaide, began to court the
fair Elite, but she rejected all offers of
marriage which always comes early III
Hungarian coUrtships. Elite objected
TO John because he was an OVerZeai-
Gus apostle of Bacchus. The tragic
scene came on Christmas day. John
was more tiDsy than usual, and when
he was Invited to leave he started out
of the house with a naughty stride. He
slipped and fell on the step, which so
angered him that he no longer visited
the unwilling Elite, who was glad OF
it.
But john was not disconsolate. Like
Miles StandiSh, he sought another
sweetheart, whom he found in Lessen
ring. Her name was Mary KrascaK
Coy as the fair maid of Perth. she had
enslaved quartet of Slavic hearts AMI
dearly, and he resolved to risk the
recklessness Of her changing temper
and lead her to the altar as Mary had
already willingly enough become en-
gagged.
All the arrangements were made for
the wedding. John bought his bride

out Of the opposition which has developed TO

view was presented. Its passage was looked
upon as certain when opposition bill, known
as the Hanna measure, was introduced. II
was reported that every possible means was
being used to force the bill through but no
open reference had been made to the alleged
methods of the opposition until Senator Titus

Mr.. Bayard arrived and was received with
marked signs of respectful attention: The
guests proceeded to. the Egyptian hall, the
lord mayor escorting Mr.. Bayard.
Mr.. Bayard, said: you, sir, not only repre-
sent the greatest republic the world has ever
known, but you are our brother by ties Of
blood, and one who has done much to cement
together the two nations. You have inspired
love and affection in English breasts and
you are taking back with you to the United
States the heart Of Great Britain
Mr.. Bayard, on rising to respond, was re-
ceived with loud cheers. He spoke for nearly
an hour and often exhibited the greatest
emotion as he dwelt upon the relations which
should exist and which he hoped did exist
between the two nations.
Continuing, Mr.. Bayard referred to the
long continued friendly relations between the
United States and the Dominion of Canada, to
the significance CT the response of Sir Ed
mund Monson to the sentiment, washington
and the Mother Country in Paris on Wash
ingtons birthday, and to the participation of
English blue jackets in the parade in Cali

he said, that a treaty of arbitration was

months ago, to examine and decide
upon the location Of a deep-water har-
Dor for commerce and of refuge, either
at San Pedro or San Monica, in South
ern California, today made it's report
to the secretary of war. 1t definitely
defines the harbor at San Pedro, at
an estimated cost of $2,901, 1877. Richard
P. Morgan Of the commission, did not
sign the report, but, by the wording Of
the law under which the board acts,
the finding Of a majority of it's mem
bers is final. The report recites in de-
tail the operations Of the board and
then makes a comparison of the two
harbors for the purpose named. At
each place, it says, a good deep-water
anchorage in six to eight fathoms Of
water can be obtained. At either place
the necessary accessories for the con-
venient transfer Of business from ship
ping to land can be constructed. In
determining which harbor will be the
most useful, five different considera-
tons are reviewed, convenience for
construction for accessory works; APP
prOaches from the sea and from the
land; availability as harbOr Of refuge,
and capacity for extension and enlarge
ment as demands Of commerce may
require. After a careful examination
Of all Of these considerations, the board
finds that the greatest advantages are
with San Pedro.

MELODRAMA AND AN AK.
when London Sleeps Chopped to
Some Extent

The English melodrama entitled, When
London Sleeps" written by Charles Darrell
and the current attraction at the Grand, seems
to have met with objections from some PEG
pie Of this city. These people stated their OBJ
jections al the city hall yesterday and were
given the assurance that personal nvestiga-
ton would be made, and while it might be
deemed something of an injustice to the Bijou
management to insist that the performance be
stopped without any opportunity for the the
alter people to make improvements or altera-
tons, if necessary, in the performance the
authorities decided to make a personal inves-
tigation in the matter.
A representative was, therefore, sent to the
Bijou last evening, and made several notes
and suggestions where dialogue scenes and
situations in the play should be eradicated.
These suggestions were presented to Manager
Hayes and J. w. Wallack, both of whom took
the matter very kindly, and agreed that at the
next performance the erasures as suggested
would be made in every particular. Manager
Jacob Lift telegraphed instructions that ev-
erything Objectionable should be cut out Of
the performance, else the Bijou should be
closed With the cuts made as suggested,
however, much of the objectionable portions
of a somewhat interesting melodrama will be
oblterated during the remainder of the en-
gagement in this city.

quieted by the attendant, shortly after
died.
The conclusions Of the official reports
of the two governments being thus

Indispensable, and that the Spanish

request. He says that Ruiz did not
make known his American citizenship
when arrested, a circumstance, he
says, which often occurs.

The Trinity Norwegian Lutheran church,
Ninth street and Twentieth avenue south, was
visited by burglars during the still hours of
Monday night Rev. NJ. Falk Gjertsen's desk
and every board and box in the study was
broken into and the back was taken out of
the organ-al in the vain endeavor on the

of value was taken from the place of worship.
1t is thought that the burglars were the same
who stole a collection amounting to $40 from
the church some time ago.
