many anglers in this city who like to
go out to the Belgrade ponds and catch
bass but who persist that the fish are
not worth the eating, after they are

equally sure that the bass makes as
good dish as any fish caught in
fresh water. Neither are right. The
bass can hardly be compared with
smelt or trout and the majority of
people would doubtless prefer to them

Here is an appreciatiVe eulogy OF a
Portland electric car conductor. Would
that were true of every conductor in
Maine. instead Of only one of them:
con the Congress street line there is an
electric car conductor who is a model
of courtesy and efficiency. He is al
ways alert to assist passengers on and
off the car. especially the aged and in
firm and ladies with small children.
He doesn't bother himself particularly
about the young and handsome ladies.
for they are usually able to take care
of themselves and don't thank a con.
ductor if he is too offcious. If the car
is crowded he jumps off and helps a
new passenger find seat. lie doesn't
lady seat" but politely asks if it is
possible to make a little more room.
If a window in the front of the car is
down he does not let a passenger
struggle to put it up. but ut once comes
cheerfully to his assistance. He
watches for any indication of the
wishes of a passenger. so if person
wishes To get off he can always get the
conductors attention by raising his
hand. He always replies courteously
to a passengers question. no matter
how foolish the question is in his estl-
nation. In short this conductor is a
gentleman and attends strictly Ia bust
ness from morning until night. lie
has thousands of friends of whom he
has no knowledge"

ABOUT BARBECUES.
How This Sort of Feast Is Managed
in Georgia.

Mayor Harrison'S strong advocacy of a
barbecue as a feature of the peace jubilee
is just now being warmly seconded by
some zoo postal clerks in the railway mail
service. The clerks went down to At
lanta on junket the other day and while
there were treated to real old-fashioned
Georgia roast. In less time than il re-
quires to tell it the Northerners ate up
ten lambs, five kids, five shoats, and fifty
chickens.
But that wasn't all they got. The most
important feature of the Georgia feast is
Brunswick stew. If Mr.. Harrison was
given a mess of this preparation he would
| still hold out for his idea of a jubilee
attraction. Brunswick stew is made of
| the meat of fifty chickens which have
been cooked until the flesh may be pulled
| from the bones. 1t is then put in a pot
with twenty pounds of calf liver, fifty
| cans of corn, fifty cans of tomatoes, ten
| pounds of butter, and ten gallons of milk
1t is seasoned with red peppers and other
hot stuff and cooked in one mess from
| daylight till noon.
The Georgia people have special plates
| made for their barbecue. One of these
plates holds a quantity of lamb, kid
shoat, and chicken, together with a
gourdful of Brunswick. Beside each plate
| is half-pepper pod filled with chicken
| salad and half pound bun. The edibles
are washed down with Georgia beer,
which is accounted as good as the Mil
| waukee product.
The roasting of the meat has been re-
duced to science. 1t is done over a long
trench in which wood has burned to red
Goals. The carcasses are roasted whole,
| the sides being spread apart until they
| lie as fiat as a pelt spread out to dry.
| Hickory sticks five feet long and as thick
| as a hoe handle are run lengthwise
| through the lambs, one on each side, the
sticks projecting out foot at both ends.
The carcasses, placed across the trench,
rest on these ends. The attendants, all
colored people, keep turning the carcasses
| and basting them with a dressing made
| of a dozen hot ingredients, which is mop
ped on the sizzling meat by means of
| cloth fastened to the end of a stick In
| regular mop fashion. The meat is put on
| the trench at 4 o'clock in the morning

and cooked until o'clock The odor as

There are many features about the bar
becues held near Atlanta which have
unique character. Nearly all of them are
held at Stone Mountain, sixteen miles
out on the Georgia Railroad. The noun
tain and adjoining lands comprise 1000
acres, owned by the Venab!e family At
the base of the mountain is the Summer
home of the Venables, and near ii is a
large grove surrounded by cotton fields
and orchards. In this grove the barbe-
cues are given. Fifty barbecues a year
are given there. most of them being en-
tertainments given by the Venable broth
ers, who are experts in such roasting
affairs.

THIEF IN THE ARLINGTON.
Capt. Howell and Gov. Bullock Are
Among the Victims.

Capt. Howell and Gov. bullock Are
Among the Victims.
Guests at the Arlington Hotel have been
victimized by sneak thief who in the
guise of clergyman made quite rich
haul in money and jewelry.
Among those who suffered most were
clergymen and lay delegates to the trien-
nial convention now being held here.
The police department was notified of
the thefts and detectives have been quiet
ly at work for two days trying to locate
the thief but so far have not been sue
cessful.
Every effort was made to keep the mat
ter quiet but the facts leaked out last
night. Guests at the hotel were loath to
talk about 1t and would not state the ex-
tent of their losses. 1t is known. however,
that the total valuation amounts 20 con-
siderable sum.
Among those victimized were Gov. R.
B. Bullock, of Georgia, and his wife. The.
governor and his wife returned to Georgia
Sunday. They were here as delegates to
the Episcopal convention. Mrs. Bullock
brought with her some valuable jewels 20
wear to the reception given by the fresi-
dent. Some of them were taken by the
thief.
Capt Evan p Howell, of the War Invest
tigating Commission, lost a sum of money.
The captain and his wife and daughter o.
.cupied rooms As and 40. Last Saturday
Mrs. Howell and her daughter went out
shopping. Before leaving Miss Howell
bolted the door of room As and with her
mother left by the door or room 49, which
they locked after them and carried the
key with them. When they returned
few hours later they could not unlock the
door of 40 with their key, but found the
door of As unbolted. 1t was not until sun
day that the discovery was made that n

The suppostion is that the thefts were

FITZ DEMANDS DAMAGES.
Sues Landlord Bresiin for $50. 900
for Refusing Him Entertainment

New York, Oct. 1.-THE refusal of Pro-
prietor James Bres!in. of the Gilsey
House, to allow Robert Fitzsimmons TO
absorb a bowl Of soup in the hotel re-
taurant constituted an insult in the ju G.
ment of the pugiiist, that can be wiped
out only with money-preferably bills Of
large denomination. The champion has
brought suit against Mr.. Breslin for s5y-
coo damages. The papers were served last
night, and there is a prospect that the
people may have a chance to see cham
pion pugilist in battle before long, even
though il be but legal battle.
Stripped of its legal yerbiage, the intro
ductory paragraph in Fitzsimmons COM
plant which was drawn by the law firm
of Boese S Cahart, recites how he en-
tered the restaurant of the Gilsey House
on the afternoon of October I, and or
dered one of certain designated articles
of food" He AYERS that he gave the or
der "in proper manner" that 1t was not
served in a reasonable time, and that he
made appeal to the head waiter.
This functionary, according to the com
plaint, refused to serve the chamI ion
with a bowl of soup, publicly, in the
hearing OF many persons. and in a loud
and insulting tone, which tended TO in
lure and did injure the plaintiff in imput-
ing that he was not a proper or desirable
person with whom the others present
might or should associate, greatly to the
humiliation and disagrace Of the pain
tiff and to his great and irrepar2ble dam
age"
The complaint goes on to relate how
/ Fitzsimmons went meekly to Mr.. Bres-
lin and asked him why he could not eat
soup in peace in the Gilsey House. Mr.
Bresin's reply, he AYERS, in addition TO
being delivered in a loud and offensive
tone, was such as would bring on MIN
.iiscredit. humiliation and mortifica-
ton" and TO cause him great ana irre-
parable damage"
The romplaint sets forth that FitZsim-
mons makes his living by appearing be-
| fore the public of the United States and
| other parts of the worId, and that his
| success and well-being depends on the
esteem and popularity with which he IS
| regarded by the said public. He has al
WAYS been accustomed, the complaint
saws. in his travels, to stay at the most
respectable and proper inns and hotels.
! Garbled statements of the affair of Mr..
! Rreslin have been sent out, he asserts,
which will cause hotel proprietors and
| managers to look at him with CLASSY
/ eve and will incite the public to stay
away from his theatrical performances.
In conclusion Fitzsommons says that
! his good name fame and credit. have
been Injured: that he has been held up to
public scandal and Disgrace" that his
feelings have been outraged" and that
| his business has received great and last
| ing injury and damage"
For all of which he requests the court
! to award him possession of $4,000 of Mr.
Breslins bank roll.
