A NAVAL WARFARE.
Maiae sheriffs in Pursuit of Porgy
Steamers.
An Ellsworth despatch says:

An Ellsworth despatch says:
Sheriff L. r. Hooper of Hancock county
has returned from an interesting chase
after porgy steamers, which have been
illegally catching fish within the three
mile limit The bays along this section
alive with porgies during the past few
weeks, and the porgy steamers, which
have been following the schools from
place to place, were here almost as soon
as the fish were. They have been careless
regarding the prescribed three miles from
shore, and followed the fish into the bays
Last Friday Deputy Sheriff A. G. Os-
good Of Blue Hill saw three porgy
steamers in Blue Hill bay. He gave chase
and overlook the steamer Ieaconnet,
| Capt Gray The captain acknowledged
that he had been taking fish. 1t was I'M
derstood that he would pay the fine if the
deputy sheriff would accompany him to
Long Pond, in Bristol, Lincoln county,
the steamer hailing port.
The deputy sheriff consented, but when
| he arrived at Long Pond he states that
the captain of the steamer refused to
make settlement. The two steamers
which had been in company with the
Teaconnet-the George Church, Capt.
Dan Mason, and the Curtis, Capt. R. E.
| Mason-also went to Long Pond to dis
charge their fish.
This was the situation when Sheriff
| Hooper was notified, and he immed lately
started from Ellsworth for Brooklyn,
when he arrived before the owners of the
| three steamers had time to disharge their
| fish and get away to sea. Sheriff Hooper
seized one of the steamers, with fish on
board, but it is said no attachment could
be Effected
The captains of the three steamers
offered to settle for 5000 providing Sheriff
Hooper would give them written guar
antee that he would not seize the steam
ers for the illegal fishing they had done
up to date. Sheriff Hooper would not do
that.
In the meantime, while the man who
had been deputized by the Lincoln county
officers to hold the steamer which Sheriff
Hooper had seized went ashore for
moment, the steamer, without discharg-
ing her fish, sailed away. Sheriff Hooper
| went to Portland for legal advice and
on this advice he is home and intends to
get out warrants against the three Cap
tains, all of whom live in Long Pond.

GENESIS OF BRYANIsM.
Senator Kelly Helped Bryan to His
Choice.
(Kansas City Journal.)

The annual meeting of the transmits
sissippi congress recalls little political
history that is of interest Six years ago
this organization held its first meeting
in Kansas City, Mo. At that time there
was split over the money question. The
silver forces were led by the late Charles
Crisp of Georgia, ex-speaker of the House
of Representatives. 1t happened that W.
j. Bryan was delegate from Nebraska
to that congress. During the early hours
of the fierce fight over silver Bryan sat on
the fence. He did not know which way
to jump. Senator 81. B. Kelly was a
delegate from Kansas and presided over
the meeting. When the fight was the
hottest Bryan went to Kelly and asked
which horh OF the dilemma he should
take.

But ali! my angel lacks but wings!
Your nose is freckled some and tanned,
But you're the jewel Of the land.
Your skirts are wet and dabbod with

Oh, you're the homeliest thing in sight
