GREAT FIND OF OYSTERS.
A SheIIfish KIondike Being Worked
i'm the Great South Ray.

Sayville l.. l., Sept. 14.-Never in the
history of the Great South bay has such
a find of seed oysters been made as that
of the Zeigle brothers. On last Monday
the young men were sailing over a por-
ton of the bay known as Clam Pond
Cove, when one of them remarked that he
had been told by an old oysterman that
natural SEED oysters had been caught in
large quantities thirty years ago near
where they were sailing, but since that
time the ground had been regarded as
barren. Casting over a dredge that lay
on the deck of their sloop, the young men
let it drag along the bottom of the bay
for a short distance and were astounded,
upon pulling it to the surface, to find 1t
full to overhowing of oysters, large and
small, but all of perfect shape, fat, and
juicy Immediately the two men cast
overheard all their dredges, and in less
than two hours had loaded the sloop to
the waters edge.
Returning again at night in company
with four other boats they loaded again.
Wishing to keep their find a secret they
remained at home during the next day,
but started out after nightfail. In the
bright moonlight their boats were evil
IDENTIFY watched by other oystermen be-
longing to the large feet which lay an
chored off the shore, for soon they were
followed by at least a score of boats. The
discoverers of the beds had hardly begun
to dredge when the other boats struck the
beds, and before midnight every boat was
loaded. Fully 200 boats are now working
day and night, ard up to the present time
over 10000 bushels of oysters and oyster
seed have been taken form the beds.
The boatmen make from $40 to $50 a day
and hardly take time to sleep.

A GOOD THING


That in addressing Mrs. Pinllham they
are communicating with a woman--a
woman whose experience in treating wo-
mans i'll is greater than that OF any liv-
ing physiCian-male or female.
A woman can talk freely TO woman
when it is revolving to relate her pri-
vate troubles to a man-besides, a man
does not understand-simply because he
is a man.
Many woman suffer in silence and drift
along from bad to worse, knowing full
well that they should have immediate
assistance, but a natural modesty i'm
pcls them to shrink from exposing them
selves to the questions and probably eX-
aminations of even their family physi-
clan. 1t is unnecessary. Without money
or price they can consult woman, whose
knowledge from actual experience is
greater than any local physician living.
The following invitation is freely Of
fered; accept it in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened read and answered by women
only, thus has been established the etern-
al canfidence between Mrs. PinKham and
the women of America which has never
been broken and has induced more than
900 sufferers to write her for advice
during the last four months. Out of the
vast volume of experience which she
has to draw from. it Is more than pos
sible that she has gained the very knowl-
edge that will help your case. She asks
nothing in return except your goodwill,
and her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance

possibly a few minor demonstrations
in the outlying territory, so long as the

CANNOT DRAW THE MONEY
Governor Holcomb on the Error In the
salary Appropriation Biu.

Governor HolcOmb on the Error In the
SALARY Appropriation Bin.
When the salary appropriation bill
reached the governor II was discovered
that the salaries of the superintendent
of asylums had been increased from
81, 900 as passed by the legislature to
81, 500. There has been no light she'd
on the motive, II any there was. that
prompted the person or persons in the
enrolling room to make the increase.
While the governor approved the bill,
the extra $500 will not be Mt the dis
posal Of the supcrintendents. Govern
or Holcomb holds that the legislature
appropriated s. 900 and to support his
contention cites the case OF the State
OK rel. Casper ct al. ". Moore, 81 Neb.
page 10. This ease is one which arose
over an error in the enrolling OF "a bill
appropriating SIS, 900 to pay expenses
of impeachment proceedings In 1898.
The enrolling clerk raised the amount
to SIS, 900 after the conference com
mittee had reduced IL to $4,000. Both
houses of the legislature had adopted
the report of the conference commit
tee. The matter was taken to la SUI
preme court to have determined the
questions neither or not the legislat-
urc had appropriated $4,000, or Si5 900
or whether 1t had appropriated any
thing. The latter question was an
important one, as many believed i'm
parchment proceedings could not be
instituted in case the appropriation
was void. The supreme court formu-
lated an opinion, holding that Sl5 900
had been appropriated, and that the
will Of the people could not be thwart-
| ed by the error or dishonesty" of an
enrolling cleuk or those whose duty 1t
was to direct the work OF enrolling.
In relation to the matter, Governor
Holcomb Monday said that the error
was discovered and discussed In his Of
fee when the bill was before him for
consideration. He states that he ap-
proved the bill upon the theory that
the appropriation for the salaries OF
the three superintendent was for
". OOO-the amount actually passed by
each branch of the legislature. As "a
how the error come into the enrolled
bill, the governor stated that he wa
unable to say.
