ing. under very unfavorable circum-
stances. as far as the weather goes in
making such an affair a success. How
ever a goodly number assembled and
showed their willingness to make it a
successful meeting. Secretary w. N.
Manchester introduced Mr.. S. S. Mey-
ers, of Cleveland, Ohio, who had been
chosen as director. Mr.. Meyers, in a
few well chosen Introductory remarks,
won the respect of his pupils, and they
al once settled down to musical work.
The class was examined upon sight
reading to some extent, and some val
liable points on vocal culture were
given by the director. The balance Of
the evening was taken up in hand
shaking and social chats.
Tuesday morning opened up bright,
and Uncle Sor' came out, and with
his genial face made everybody feel
happy and musically-inclned, conse-
quently the morning class was much
enlarged, about forty having entered.
This lesson was of much Importance
to the class, especially in vocal pune
tuation, and direct consonantal utter
ances. The afternoon session increased
the class to fifty voices and was de-
voted entirely to sight reading, while
the evening session was principally de-
voted to chorus work.
This morning the class was still
further increased to seventy-five
voices. Voice culture was again the
principal feature of the morning ses-
sion, and Mr.. Meyers interested his
audience by giving highly instruct

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Nov. 17.-Net declines to-
day were about TIE same as net gains
were yesterday in the stock market.
The range of prices is a little wider
as there was time during the day
when they were carried a fraction
above yesterdays close. The extreme
decline in some of the grangers and
the coalers in therefore something over
a point. Sugar ruled generally above
last nights close, rising at one time
IA, and this sustained the general
market for time. Total sales were
167, 400 shares.

Until some guest sends down an angered
And bellboys tell him he must stop 1t all
Oh. what life this life of his must be!
He goes to shows But no tramp dog is his
To play with him in shed or field or WOOD;

A forestry of blackened srnokestacks Is
The sum and substance of his 'neighoor-

His wealthy father buys him pretty clothes:
His mother garbs him out all trig ana

But, in all glory decked. do you suppose
That hungry hearted little magnate knows
One-half the blessings that accrue to him
He looks sometimes from out his window
high
Across the Intervening roof and sees
The watchman's child. who shouts greet

To some young neighbor of loft near by
He wishes well he might be one of these
With uncombed hair and patches at his

Has plays and toys. The Waterman )

But of all dreams the rich mans heir has

The fondest is to be the watchman's SON.

THE GERMAN CARP.
Its Introduction in American Waters Was
a Great Mistake.


Its Introduction in American Waters Was
a Great Mistake.
A recent dispatch from Swedesboro.
N. j., announced the poor success of
carp fishing in the tide-water streams
this winter. The few fish taken, it was
reported, were small and not market
able. The scarcity ct carp this season
in the South New Jersey streams IS at
tributed to the great catches of last
year.
Those who have studied the habits Of
the carp and become convinced OF its
destructiveness with respect to other
fishes will rejoice at the possibility of
its determination from American wa
tiers. There is an act of the New Jer-
sey legislature which imposes a heavy
fine on any person who introduces Ger
man carp into the waters of that state.
The coming Pennsylvania legislature
would do well to enact similar law
More than year ago the state board of
fish commissioners, after n careful in
vestigation, came TO the conclusion that
the presence of German carp in our wa
tiers is detrimental TO the increase of
much better food fishes, and decided TO
discontinue their distribution. The
commissioners of game and fisheries of
New York reached \ Identical decision
about the same time.
For years the United States fish com
mission defended the Introduction of
the German carp, and advocated its
wider distribution in the face of over
whelming evidence of its Unsuitable
spawn-eating habits; this was, perhaps.
since that body was first responsible for
its general planting in American wa
ters; but the present commissioner,
Commander Brice. is actrated by no
such considerations, and when he was
confronted with the proofs of the I'M
desirability of the carp, Immediately
ordered further output to be stopped.
The carp may be good food fish in
Germany, but if so it has sadly
deteriorated in this country. Az
table food 1T is pronounced scarce
ly better than our American suck
er; many, indeed, regard the lat
ter as much better for eating pur-
poses. Wherever II has gained a
foothold far better food fishes rapidly
decrease in number, through the former
devouring the eggs of the latter. Its
filth-loving habits foul clear water and
impart muddy, disagreeable taste to
its flesh. Except for its rapid growth,
there does not seem to be single quail
ity to recommend it; thus it is a matter
for congratulation that there are signs
of it's becoming scarce in the Delaware
river and tributaries.
Without exception, our American
fresh water fishes ere better than
those which have been introduced from
foreign countries, and it would be well
for the United States fish commission
and the different state bodies to dis
courage any further foreign introduc-
tons. Far from the New Jersey fisher
men advocating their legislature to pro-
hibit carp fishing fer two years, as
is reported to be the case, cow that they
have prospect of getting rid of it they
had better urge the legislature to in
crease the penalty in force against any
person who may plant more -Phila-

A TERRAPIN'S LOVE OF HOME
Caught, Marked and Released Three
Times, 1t Returns to It's Abode.


Times, 1t Returns to It's Abode.
The devotion of a land terrapin to it's
home is well illustrated by a story from
Paoli, Ind. In 1910 Miss Davie Peele, of
that city, was ten years old. While play
ing in the woods one day she came upon
one of the creatures and took it home.
It's curious ways pleased her and she
put it in box to keep as a pet. The
little prisoner refused food and chafed
at confinement. AS the young lady was
about to release the terrapin some enc
suggested that she carve her name in
it's shell. She did this, adding the
date. The little animal was let go.
Ten years later Miss Peele married
County Clerk While, of Orange county.
One day she found herself in the vicin-
ity where she had first discovered the
terrapin, To her great surprise she
again found the little fellow within
few feet of where she first saw it. Her
name and the date were as plain as when
she put them there. The terrapin was
again made prisoner to show her
friends the marvellous find. Again
tracing her new name on the shell she
released her captive. The date, 1850,
was put on.
After many years Mrs. While became
widow and removed to Hutchinson,
Kan. There she married DR.. Mckinney
and still resides there.
In the summer of 1872 Mrs. Mckinney
visited her old home at Paoli. A search
again revealed the terrapin at its first
abode. Again she carved her changed
name on the shell. 1t was the talk OF
the little town. Returning to her west
ern home Mrs. Mckinney thought little
of her terrapin until friend in 1895
sent her copy of a local paper contain
ing the facts. The terrapin had been
again found. and the date 1895 carved
on it's back. 1t was found right where
it had been first discovered by Miss
Peele. Each time it had been released
near the center of the little town and
found it's way to its original home
