MILLIONS IN MEhHADEN.
PROBABLE REVIVAL OF THE
OLD-TIME BUSINESS.
Curious Fishing Industry That
VIII Be Doomed by the New
Tariff.

Menhaden fishermen are jubilant.
The new tariff schedule contains a
clause which will effectually hinder
Japanese competition in fish oil, and it
is expected that the old menhaden fish
cries which have languished for years
will resume their oId-time activity.
Twenty years ago the fisheries en-
ployed over three hundred vessels and
twenty-five hundred men, and repre-
sented an investment of s., 100000.
At that time the menhaden fisheries
swept the whole Atlantic seaboard
results of their labors permeated more
different lines of business than per-
haps any single industry. The guano
obtained from the fish refuse was
spread over every one of the different
States, the fish oil was invaluable to
the tanner in preparing the leather
which he shipped to evry part of the
world, to the rope maker and in half
a dozen other kinds of work that occu-
pied many thusands of men and mill
lions of dollars of capital.
Fish oil then sold for 81 80 a gal
lon and the refuse for S25 per ton. At
present the oil is worth only twenty
to SIT per ton. This remarkable decline
in the price of oil, coupled with small
catches for the past few seasons, has
driven many of the old d-established
firms out of the business, while others
have continued to run at almost no
profit.
In the Japanese fisheries oil is a by
product There is no demand for 1t in
Japan, and therefore it could be sold
at almost any price in the American
and European markets. For this reason
the menhaden fisheries sought and OBJ
tanned from the committee that plan
ned the Dingley bill a duty of eight
cents per gallon on all fish oil imported
into the United States. 1t is antici-
patad that this will cause an increase
of about % per cent. in the price of OIL
and will give the fishermen and refin-
ers sufficient relief so that they can
continue their business at a fair profit
The story of the menhaden industry
is an interesting one because the
threads that go to make up the account
stretch clear across the world. 1t is
by no means an infant industry. When
Roger Williams settled Rhode Island he
found that the fish was highly esteemed
by the natives of that locality, ana the
very name menhaden is one that was
used by the Narragansett Indians. 1t
took the white man long time to find
out the value of the menhaden, how
ever. and the industry as it stands at
present was practically started by
Henry E. Wells of Greenpoint, Long Is
land. Mr. Wells, who was known in
the business as Daddy Wells, began
to catch menhaden and to sell them to
the Long Island farmers for use as fer
tilizers in the late 50s. In 1861 the
first fish oil factory was started at
Nara gansett, r. I. 1t was primitive
affair in which the oil was separated
from the fish by a process of fermen-
tation. During the war the business
gained but little in Importance, but di-
rectly after its close the wide demand
for fish oil and fish products, and the

A Peculiar Ohio Community.

There is a community at Amish,
Holmes County, O., that meets Bob In
gersoll's idea of Atlantis" said a guest
at the Planters yesterday. There are
no churches and no ministers in the
community, which consists of $4,000
or 10000 souls, residing on 160-acre
farms. Every member of the settle
ment is a producer Religious meetings
are held, but they are at the homes Of
various members, not in regularly es-
tablished meeting places. Draft horses,
the best in America, come from Amish.
The customs of the people are primitive
in their simplicity. No one ever thinks
of knocking at a neighbor's door; they
just walk in. Travellers who come
through the community are taken in
and entertained in literal interpreta
ton of the scriptural injunction and no
one is permitted to receive pay for the
entertainments. The most curious of the
customs of this peculiar people is that
relating to it's women. Married women
wear black caps, those who are en-
gagged go to church in brown headgear,
while the young girls proclaim the fact
that their affections are disengaged by
dainty white bonnets. There is conSid
erable sense at the bottom of this
quaint custom, and the social jealous
les and heart-burnings of other towns
are said to be practically unknown in

Grand Opera House,

The original Wilbur opera company,
numbering some fifty or more people,
opened a weeks engagement at the
Grand opera house last evening, pre-
senting THE Two Vagabonds" to q
large audience. The Wilbur company
have long been favorites here, rs the
audience last evening and advance sale
for the week surely indicate. There are
few managers in the country who
would attempt to carry as large a COM
pany and one costumed so well as is
this popular and long successful or
ganization. The cast is very much the
same as that of last season. The cho-
rus, however, has been mostly changed
and somewhat augmented. The wo-
men are attractive and the comedians
very clever.
The opera last evening, "The Two
Vagabonds," or otherwise known as
"Erminie,'' was capitally presented.
The life of the show is with the well
known comedians, E. A. Clark and w.
H, Kohnle, who were quite original as
as the vagabonds and, as always, very
clever AS a bit of news it might be
stated that Mr.. Kohnle left the Will
bur company soon after its last visit
here to appear in comedy role at the
Castle Square theater, Boston, but he
has again returned, playing his first
performance last evening. There are
few better light opera tenors than ].
e. Conley, who made the most of the
small part of Leon Garnet. He will be
heard to better advantage during the
remainder of the week. Emmett Drew
as the Count, with his new silk stock
ings, gave the part a very good French
Interpretation.
The prima donna of the company is
Miss Hattie Richardson, who imperson-
ated Rosalie last evening. Her voice
is strong soprano, and has improved
considerably since she was last here.
Miss Lille Taylor will not be forgot
ten as the vivacious coincidence who
has always created much fun as the
Princess. and last evening she fully
sustained her former reputation. The
chorus deserves special mention, and
in the goodnight chorus showed care
full training.
The living pictures. which have al
ways been a strong card for Wilbur
seemed as popular as ever, most of
them being entirely new. THE Seeley
Dinner is one of the latest additions.
