He richly deserves any honor that the

to say of the weather for September just
passed: The month has been in many
respects a record breaker 1t has been
by far the warmest, clearest and calm
est September in our thirty years rec

the mercury reached 80 degrees, this
being nine more than the average num-

not the slightest touch of frost during

deficient. Only five Septembers have
had less rain, and only one fewer rainy
days. The mean cloudiness was near
~ per cent less than the avera sc,

HANNA IS SUED.
Former Business Associate of
the Senator Begins Action.

Cleveland, o., Oct. 4.-The trouble be-
tween stockholders in the Cleveland
city railway company, of which SEN
ator NJ. A Hanna, is president, and +.
De Hass Robson. president of the
Cleveland base ball club, was a large
stockholder and at one time vice pres
ldent, has eliminated in the fling in
the court of common pleas of bill in
equity on the part of Mr.. Robson
against the Cleveland City Railway
company, MA. Hanna, J.B. Hanna the
secretary of the street railway compa-
ny, and a number of national and pri-
Vate hanks.
The whole trouble grows out of the
hypOthecation to banks by J. J. Ship
herd, transfer agent Of the company, of
d large block of stock, much of which
was owned by Robson.
The company and Senator Hanna re-
pudiate the obligation of Shepherds
transactions and Robison's suit is the
result.
The petition says among other things
that Senator Hanna is the whole thing
in the street railway company and that
j. 3. Hanna, his nephew, the secretary,
is but his servant.
The street railway company is declar-
ed to be insolvent in the petition, and
altogether the suit is the biggest legal
sensation for months.
There is talk that politics is in it. as
Robson and Hanna are now distinct
ly unfriendly The court is asked to
wind UP the corporation.
The road has plenty of money back
of it and Will make a big fight.

PITTSBURG is DARK.
Fog and Smoke Combine to
Shut Out the Day.

Pittsburg, Oct. 4.-Pittsburg has
been enveloped in a heavy fog all day
which caused the smoke to hang low,
causing a dense darkness not equaled
by night.
Frank Ridgeway, the local forecaster,
said the darkness was caused by smoke
and not fog, and that if the smoke from
the thousands of chimneys was not ris-
ing in the calm air, it would have been
an ideal autumn day.
All the electric lights were lit from
morn till night. kilograms from neigh
boring towns proved that the sun was
shining brightly and the Stygian gloom
Was only local.

FISH AS FOOD.

The Dark Is Better Than the White For
an Active Person.
Mrs s. 7. Rorer, in The Ladies'
Home Journal, contends that there has
not been a sufficiently accurate analysis
upon which to base any table regarding
the chemical composition OF fish at all
reliable. 1.-THE albuminoid matter in
white fish, as cod, paddock and halibut,
is in about the same proportion as in
beef and mutton. They. contain, how
ever, more phosphorus-the active fish,
such as trout and pickerel, containing a
still greater amount, due no doubt to
their activity. The amount Of carbon
depends largely upon the amount of fat
they contain. The whitefish are, there
fore, deficient in carbon. If you should
ask an intelligent cook what vegetable
to serve with boiled white fish she
would answer quickly, potatoes, as they
supply the wanting carbohydrates.
"There are other kinds Of fish, how
ever, such as salmon, catfish and stur
geon, that are quite well supplied will
carbohydrates, in consequence of whicl
they are not so easily digested as tn
white fish. Tho more oil they have dis
persed through the body, the more diff
cult the digestion. In the white fish tn
fat is held in the liver; in the dark fis
it is dispersed through the entire fest
From this fact we learn that dark fis
make much better diet for the actiy
man. Many authorities affirm that II
more active fish, as well as the mo-
active animals, give better muscle NAL
