PET TROUT In A POND.
It Takes Worms from the Hand
and Lets Itself Ee Tickled.
The Fish Is Twenty-One Inches Long
and Nine Years Old and. Weighs
Over Five POunds-Tyyo others
Nearly as Large.

In the rear of a little shoe factory at
New City, in Rockland county, N. Y,
there is small trout pond, the fish in
which have excited the wonder of every
one who has seen them, on account of
their extraordinary tameness and ur-
usual size. The trout is naturally one
of the most timid of fish; but so tame
are the trout of this little pond that one
of them takes worms from persons
hand, and its latest accomplishment is
TO lie still while some one tickles it
under the belly.
The size of the fish alone would be
enough to excite interest. The largest
and ytamest measures 81 inches and
weighs more than 5h pounds. Two of
the others are more than 16 inches long,
and, while their weight is not known
exactly, it is probable that it is more
than four pounds apiece, The pond in
which they are kept was built nine
years ago by the Ederling brothers, the
owners of the little shoe factory, and
was designed to supply water for the
factory. There is asmall brook running
through the place, the water OF which
is as clear as crystal. The pond is about
25 feet wide and so feet long, and It's
greatest depth is hardly five feet. One
day a short time after the pond had
been made one of the Ederling children
caught a young trout in, neighboring
brook twas too small to eat and was
thrown into the pond. Later two more
trout were added, and then for a time
the trio were almost forgotten.
When the fish first grew large enough
TO attract notice they were so timid that
it was difficult to catch glimpse of
them at all. The approach of a,visitor
to the pond would cause them to ,disap-
pear under the stones and the bank of
the pond, and 1T would be long time
before their whereabouts could be, dis
covered. The children got into the habit
of throwing in worms in the hope of
drawing them from their hiding place,
and they did this so1nuch that the trout
finally began to become tame. Last
year, to the great delight of the children,
the trout would come up and cautiously

other two large fish are not so tame.
They will come up for worms with great
avidity, but they have not been induced
yet to take them from tn hand.
The latest and greatest accomplish
ment of the tamest trout is to come
up to little low platform built out into
the pond, on which the children stand,
and to allow them to touch and even
tickle it gently on the belly.
The weight of the big fellow was dis
cussed in the village for a long time,
and in view of it's tameness it was de-
cided to catch and weigh the trout. The
weighing was set down for the first
clear day The weather satisfying all
conditions recently, the persons inter-
ested gathered at the pond to watch the
experiment of catching fish without a
hook. The day before Mr.. Ederling
had spent most of his time in his chair
feeding the fish on worms, and they got
a repast such as it has seldom been
their privilege to enjoy. Consequently
when the trout came up to be caught it
was unusually sleek and corpulent. 1t
came up expecting as usual the tickling
process, but instead became entangled
in the meshes of a net which soon
brought it to land. A bag had been pre-
pared for its temporary quarters while
on land, and into this it was put. The
fish was found to weigh trifle more
than 51s pounds and to measure exactly
81 inches Last year it measured 20A
inches, so that its growth, considering
its age more than nine years, was con-
siderable.

TO USE THIRD RAIL SYSTEM.
Manhattan Elevated Company De-
cides to Change It's Power.

Manhattan Elevated Company De-
cides to Change It's Power.
After more than two years of search
for the most practicable and eco
nomical motive power, the Manhattan
Railway company of New York city
has finally decided to adopt electricity
and the system to be used is what is
known as the "third rail-"
The astonishing success of the ex.
pertinent on the New York & New Eng
land railroad between Hartford and
Berlin on May /, which President
Clarke, of the New Haven road, predict.
cd would result in revolutionizing
travel on every railroad in the coun-
try, determined the system to be in.
troduced on the elevated roads in New
York city, and at an early date the
various electric companies will be in.
vited to submit bids for equipping the
entire system with the third rail. 1t is
estimated that the change will require
an outlay of 100000.
The saving that will accrue to the
Manhattan company from the change
to the third rail system of electricity
is variously estimated from $3.50, 900 tc
S1,o00,oo0 year. The interest charge
of 100000 of bonds at four per cent.
which will probably be issued to pay
for the cost of the new equipment
would amount TO $3.50, 1000 a year.

SILVER SIXTY CENTS AN OUNCE.
Reaches the Lowest Point In History,
with n Single Exception.

Reaches the Lowest Point in History,
with n Single Exception.
Silver bullion at New York the other
day sold at 60 cents an ounce, the lowest
point it has ever touched, except for a
short period in 1894, when it sold at So
cents an ounce. Later it rallied to COZ
This rally is believed to be only tenn
porary and to be due to demand for
the white metal to be exported on the
steamer Campania to Europe. This ves-
sci has just taken out $50, 900 ounces.
The steady decline in silver is at
tracing considerable attention abroad.
Paris has been fairly flooded with
been sold on this side as low as two
francs % centimes for the dollar. The
price of silver in the Indian bazars
has fallen to rs rupees, the lowest price
ON record. The exchange between Lon
don and Shanghai has also fallen to al
most the lowest, and even at the low
rate does not absorb o large quantity
of silver.
Dating from the declaration of Japan
of it's intention to abandon the use of
silver in its standard coinage and go
upon gold basis, the price of the white
metal has been steadily declining. The
full effect of the change by Japan from
silver to gold has not yet been fully felt
in the silver market, but is being
thoroughly discounted by the dealers.
1t is expected that several other coun-
tries will adopt the gold standard.

take worm thrown to them, providing
it was well off shore.
This year they make no bones of COM
ing boldly for the proffered food, and
its proximity 10 the bank does not less
en- in the slightest It's attractiyeness. A
short time ago some one thought of
trying if the trout would eat from the
hand, and held worm down III the wa
ter. To his great surprise one of the
trout, the largest, came up cautiously,
and, after short time spent in getting
up its courage, made a dash for the
worm and bore it away triumphantly.
This has been done quite frequently
since then. The trout no longer dashes
for the worms, but comes up gently,
as horse would for lump of sugar.
Neither is the fish now in haste to get
away, and, indeed, has degenerated to
an Oliver Twist refusing to be satisfied
until another worm is offered. The

SIX Beasts Take Part in an Exciting
battle Mt Lexington.
Lexington's first bull fight took place
lnthepasture ofW. c. Lyme, ex-secretary
of the Kentucky association, the other
night. The battle was witnessed by
DR.. Louis Mulligan and Willoughby w.
williams. Lyne's two Jersey bulls got
to fighting and Judge Jim Mulligan's
Jersey bull BALKAN, which was in an adj
joining pasture, scented'the battle and
rushed to the scene. The ten-rail
staked-and-ridered fence was no bar
rier for BALKAN and he was soon in the
midst of the fray, goring the Lyme bulls
right and left. Ex-Lieut.- Gov. Affords
Jersey bull was in his pasture, which adj
joins the Lyme pasture on the opposite
side from Judge Mulligan's. The gov
ernor's bull broke the fence down and
was soon fighting. Two stray bulls
which were grazing in the pasture in
Clifton Heights subdivision heard the
noise of battle. They ran believing to
Lyne's pasture and joined the fighters
and the six-cornered battle ragged for
several hours. DR.. Mulligan, who is a
son of the judge, and his friend Will
liams, the judges brother-in-law, tried
to separate the infatuated beasts. The
governors bull turned his attention to
the peacemakers and chased them out
of the pasture. They fought until late
in the night. The next morning one Of
the stray bulls was found dead. AL
five of the others were badly injured.

subscribe capital for placing this
machine on the market they not
only exposed themselves t, crit

he would go so far as to
say that it was the duty of a pub

OF journalist whose duty it was
to advise the public on financial
matters, to criticise closely, thor.
ouehly, aye, aud severely, the
claims to public support which
these persons were making. If
ever there was time when jury
should hold the shield of protec
ton over an honest journalist
who had honestly criticised the
scheme of company and its
claims to public support, this was
the time. The journalist, how
ever, who from dishonest or
sordid motives made an attack up
on the owners of property with the
object of damaging that property
ought, OF course, to receive the
severest condemnation and pun
i-hment, but the journalist who in
honest execution of his duty
warned the public to scan closely
the claims Of persons asking for
pablo support deserved the
utmost protection which the law
could give him. If the jury be-

which we are agents. We have
recently imported a fresh lot of
these convenient stoves and
they contain two new improve

which the burners are brought
to the top of the stove when it
is desired to light them. These

In coal and wood stoves we
