"PocgY" IN PeARL FISHING.
A Fetid Fluid by straining which Germ

Little Is known of the life of the pearl

are engaged in the actual fishing,
which IL chiefly done by "niggers."
The wh;te man usually works ashore
i'm the CAMP. which consists Of a row of
galvanized iron buts and a store. gen.

search the oysters for pearls.
When the fishermen return their car

into a shed. the floor of which is COW

shore hands assemble and open the
oysters. which are much larger than
our own natives and examine the
shells for pearls.

thrown into pals, and the shells put

CAUGHT 4 TYPEWRITER
A Clever Capture by City Detec-

City Detective Jerry Murphy captur-

hour yesterday morning. II was not

plain. ordinary Densmore. The type
writer made no resistance. but the fell
lows who were getting away with II
are said to have made things rather
lively for the oficer by taking a couple
Of shots at him. Incidentally. Detec-
tive Murphy recovered the books that
are said to have been stolen some days
ago from the Observation-Disclosures
central committee headquarters. He
failed to capture the men VINO wanted
to puncture his skin.
About 4 o'clock in the morning De-
tective Murphy was walking along
Granite street and as he passed Main
alley, he saw a couple of fellows stand
ing in the alley. He thought their ac-
lions suplcious and concluded to inves-
tigate. Approaching the two men he
was about to accost them when they
broke and ran. He ordered them to
halt. but they kept going and then he
took after them. One of the pair turn
ed, and observing they were being fol-
lowed. drew a gun and fireu a couple
of shots, which few unpleasantly near
the officer. Reaching the alley be-
tween Broadway inc Park street. the
fellows turned west and Detective
Murphy stumbling. fell just as he was
about to return the fire. He picked
himself up and sent a couple Of shots
after the .fugftives. but they went wild
and the pair mad good their escape.
Seeing further pursuit was useless.
Detective Murphy retraced his steps
to the point at which he had first seen
the men n there found a typewriter
and the books referred to. The officer
did not know the men and has no idea
who they were.

OLD AND NEW JOKES.
Thayer Gets One from Walker That He
Seemed TO Appreeiate.

The annual banquet Of the Fur Club,
with its fusilade of jokes, call downs
and friendly ISLANDERS with which the
members assail each other on such oc-
casions, took place at the Bay State
House at 7.30 o'clock last night.
After the success of the day, the
huntsmen were in a jolly mood, and if
a banquet is ever said to be enjoyed in
Worcester it will have to be compared
with the one last evening as a stand
ard of joyous excellence. 1t was a sea-
son of settling UP old scores, and every
one took the opportunity to get into
somebody else with an anecdote tend
ing TO show his entire inability to shoot
or hunt according to accepted methods,
only to be the recipient Of similar and
more pointed shafts from the one at
tackled.
President John r. Thayer presided at
the exercises that took place after the
abundance of good things that the
landlord had provided had been suit
ably discussed, in very witty manner,
but he himself was the victim of the
sharpest dart that any one got during
the evening in the letter that was read
from Hon. J. H. Walker. The letter
was as follows:
Ham2ton. n. H.. Oct 25. 1898.
DR.. Charles r. H. Higgins:
My Dear Sir:-I very much regret
that shall not be able to be in Wor-
cester on the 26th and 10Th of this
month to participate in the annual
hunt Of the Worcester Fur Club.
Please convey to the club and its guests
my best wishes for each and all of our
friends, and especially that the hunt
ana annual dinner be a success. Allow
me TO congratulate myself and all OF
you that our worthy and accomplished
president does not seriously contem-
plate any extended absence from Wor-
cester In the next few years Very
truly yours. (Signed) j. II. Walker.
The reading OF this letter was greet
ed with immense applause and laugh
ter, IN which Mr.. Thayer was the first
to join.
The addresses of the evening were OF
spirited order. most of the prominent
members Of the club having bright
and timely things to say about the sue
cess of the organization and the pleas
ure that they derived from the exhil-
arating sport that it is its mission Il
promote.
The first speaker Of the evening was
Mayor Rufus y. Dodge who accounted
for his connection with the club by saw
ing that he had once seen a live fog
which was more than some of the
members could say. The mayor was
followed by ex-MayorA A. b. X. Sprague
President J. r. Way of the Westfield
Club. Salem ID. Charles, chairman Of
the license commission Of Boston, w
II. Sawyer. d. NJ Earle. j. e. Fuller
A. B. i, Kinney and several others
An honored guest at the head of the
table was the veteran Uncle Nathan
Harrington, the oldest fox hunter in
the county.
At the business session Of the club
just at the conclusion Of the dinner II
was voted. on motion Of A. y. r. Kin
neg, to hunt today on Asnebumskit and
the surrounding territory, and the
start viii be made by a number Of the
members at o'clock this morning for
the grounds.

PERHAPS THE 9TH.
Emmsts Waiting For News About Their
Tour of Duty.

The Emmets are anxiously awaiting
definite decisions regarding the muster
ing out of their regiment. 1t is now
understood that the boys tour Of duty
in the Worcester armory will commence
Nov. 6, and that they will be mustered
out on the 18th at Boston
Lieut.. Col. Logan's request to the
army authorities that the regiment be
allowed so days longer before they are
mustered out, has not as far as known,
been either granted or refused. The
Emmets are in fairly good health, and
are ready for the call to do 10 days
duty if the war department will not
grant them a further respite.
The government has said that it win
not pay but 65 cents per man for meals
during the 10 days at the armory. AT
this price no caterer could furnish the
food that has been given during the
week to the members of the I'd regi-
ment. This fact does not enthuse the
Emmets who think that they are just
as good as the rest, and deserve the
same kind of treatment.
