Poindexter, the Woman Beater.

Monday night constable Triplett
was summoned to Chinatown to put
e. G. PoiudeXter out of the domicile
OF the woman with whom he has been
living. The constable responded to
the summons and on entering the
house found that delectable duck in
bed. He was made to get UP and get
out and his clothing was put ont
after him. Later in the night Poin-
dexter asked the constable to 90 to
the house with him to get his clothes.
This the constable did and Poindex-
ter took all his belongings away.
Tuesday evening about six o'clock
PoindeXter went to the house and
seizmg hatchet threatened to brain
the woman. This he did not do, how
ever. but contented himself with bru-
tally striking her and knocking her
down. The woman was badly cut
over the left eye and DR.. Mcdowell
was called to sew up the wound. The
DR.. found her suffering severely from
the effects of the blows. her left eye
being swollen shut and her face bad
ly discolored. The cut is clean and
appears to have been made with some
sharp instrument.
Poindexter is in hiding today as the
victim of his brutalit, threatens to
swear out warrant for his arrest as
soon as she is able to get to justice
Morgan's Office. This is the third
scrape this contemplate cur has
been in since he struck the town and
it ought to be the last. We under
stand that it is his intention to leave
the town tonight if not arrested be-
fore he can get ont. II he does not
leave Of his own accord, he should
be notified to tako his dirty carcass
out of the town or suffer the conse-
quences Of remaining. There is no
place here for men OF his kind.

Uncle Timothy's Views.

4t was Uncle I1mothys first visit to
the city, and his nephew was doing
the best he could to make 1t pleasant
for him but there were some things
TO which Uncle Timothy was unac-
,customed, and it took him some time
to "get his breath" as he put it. How
ever, when he got his breath, he was
rich in original comment says the
Chicago Post.

there were some features about it
that rather startled him. ....

About Bicycles and other things.
"A bicycle is a luxury With
many it has come to be almost a me-
cessity. With thousands the buying
of the wheel means careful economy
to gather the money-with all, the
investment is worth being careful
about. Bicycles have cost too much.
They may cost too little. On the
whole, the dangerous mistake is
buying one that costs too little. 1t
may be guaranteed. But guarantees
are easily evaded; and, after all,
the wheel is meant for use, not to
be frequently sent in for repairs.
We have had experts studying BIZ
cycles since the time when we sold
the high-wheel affairs at S135-and
saved buyers money on them. Pro-
duction has enormously increased;
expenses for manufacturing have
almost correspondingly decreased,
but today no entirely safe and dur
able bicycle can be retailed under
$3.50. Not every low-price wheel
will quickly go to smash. But there
can be no assurance az to any par
ticular one proving really cheap.
We confidently state that no
wheel need sell for 800, if waste
full expenses are clipped off; or for

Byron D. Halsted, State Botanist
and Horticulturist in bulletin 100, Of
the New Jersey Experiment stations,
issued March 2, 1897, gives experiments
with sweet potatoes as follows, which
should be of interest to sweet potato
raisers.
In 1885 experiments were made with
sweet potatoes upon the farm of Mr..
George W. Jessup, Clnnaminson, N.
j., for the purpose of finding some pre-
Ventiye of the soil rot. There were six
series of plots in the field, three OF them
receiving fertilizers, namely, lime,
manure and kainit, and three others,
alternating with these, which received
chemicals that it was hoped might
clirck the soil rot, Lamely, sulphur,
corrosive sublimate and copper sulpbate.
The arrangement Of the experiment Of
fered au opportunity for combining the
materials in pairs and for leaving suffi-
cient check plots.
II WAS desired to determine how
much lime the crop would bear, and
the result shows that the poorest stand
oil plants was in the plot where no lime
was used, and adjoining The one receiv-
ing the l1Tgest amount. In the sui
phur series, the stand of vines inereas-
es as the amount of sulphur diminishes,
and it is not unlikely that the applica-
tions were too large, and, Of course,
u c quantities were not expected to
be practicable. The anu did not
affect the stand materially, it being an
unusually dry season, and at best the
crop upon any plot in the whole field
was small. With corrosive sublimate
the stand was full upon the plot receiv.
ing the largest amount and decreased
as the quantity diminished. In the
kainit and copper sulphate series no eff
feet was observed.
The potatoes at harvesting were all
inspected and assorted into those mark
ed with soil rot and those that were
clean. No other form of rot was pre-
sent in sufficient amount to enter into
the problem.
The following table Of averages was
constructed, followed by averages of
combinations, shown by the figures OPP

smAD FISHING

Shad fishing has been good this week,
but the prices is falling. On Monday
Edward Justice caught 245, Henry
Hates 24O, and John s. Dolbow ia.
The rest of the week from so to 15O
have been caught to a net daily. On
Thursday Henry Hates caught 12l, Jos.
X. Munyan 120.
In the Bay the catch has been from
100 to ove 200 to a net. The moso.
bunkers appeared in such numbers rs
to be very annoying this week. 1t is
hoped the rains will cause them to go
back to the sea.
The price has fallen SO that shad
have been clearing about $11 and S13 a
hundred this week.
The first mode of fishing for shad was
with shore seines. Nets with small
meshes were made to pull out into the
river and around the fish to another
point on the shore while the other end
was retained on shore at the starting
point. The fish were surrounded and
finally lifted to the surface in the net.
Prominent points on the river were
chosen for these seines to operate and
several points on river front properties
became valuable for their fisheries, and
commanded good rental values. Pre-.
vious to thirtY-live and forty years ago
that wss the principal way of taking
hsh, until gill nets cam into use. The
three most valuable fisheries near
Penn's Groveswer at Lawrence's farm,
about a mile above Penn's Grove, on
The Point just above the Cove, and ON
Carney's Point. The one on the Cove
Point was operated for years by Henry
Faunce. but its value dwindled until it
was abandoned about fifteen years age.
The value of the fisheries on Lawrence's
farm and Carney Point has dwindIed
rapidly the past few years until they
were abandoned this year. Capt. Jos.
smith, OF Chester. has leased the Law
renee fishery for the past several years
IL took from eight to 10 men to draw
the big seines besides a horse to a wind.
lass, The large expense and low price
OF shad the past few years has made
these fisheries Improbable, which had
heretofore been operated further back
IN the century than any one now living
can remember. The large gill nets
floating above, below and over the
grounds OF these fisheries swept them of
snad q helped destroy the value of
the fisheries until they are now of no
value and an historic thing of the past.
