STURGEON STORIES.
How a HaIf-TOn Fish Is Landed by
Two Men.

Victoria Correspondence of Toronto Globe
l saw a sturgeon here on the cannery
floor measuring twelve feet by the tape
and weighing more than six hundred
pounds. Any one wishing td deceive the
public by aid of a prevaricating camera
should pose beside this twelve-foot fish
The men who skillfully and laboriously
reduced 1t to sections with an ak, said it
was not an uncommon fish, though the
biggest on the floor, that they often found
them far larger and weighing as much as
twelve hundred pounds.
Two men lifting a half ton fish into
their boat is the exciting feature of stur-
geon fishing. The sturgeon, if not fas-
tened in his thick hide is apt to resent it,
He shakes his head in emphatic dissent;
and a head three feet long and as big as
a log, when vigorously shaken by a half
ton body, is a thing to be avoided. The
tail, too, is a source Of danger, for It not
only slaps with energy, but can cover a
large surface with one application The

operation of the butcher is to chop off the

A SUCCESSFUL EVANGELIST
Rev. w. A. Dunnett Man Whose Good Work Is
Widely KnOWn-He Relates Events in His
Career of General Interest.
Fon ths SMITHS Faus Record.

Throughout Canada, from the western
boundary of Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean,
there is no name more widely known in tenn
perance and evangelistic work than that of the
Rev. w. A. Dunnett. Mr.. Dunnett has been
the Grand Vice-Councillor of Ontario and
Quebec in the Royal Templars, and so popular
Is he among the members of the order that in
Montreal there is a Royal Templars council
named "Dunnett Council" in his honor. For
more than ten years Mr.. Dunnett has been 60
ing from place to place pursuing his good
work, sometimes assisting resident ministers,
sometimes conducting q series of gospel tenn
perance meetings Independently, but always
laboring for the good of his fellows. While
In Smiths Falls few months ago in connection
With his work he dropped into the Record office
Tor little visit with the editor. During the
conversation the Record ventured to remark
that his duties entailed an enormous amount of
hard work. Tothis Mr.. Dunnett assented but
added that in his present physical condition
he was equal to any amount of hard work
But 1t was not always So he said, and then
he gave the writer the following little per-
sonal history. with permission to make it
public: He said that for the past thirteen
years he had been greatly troubled with q
pain IN the region of his heart from which
he was unable to get any relief. At times it
was dull, heavy pain, at others sharp and
severe. Oftentimes it rendered him unfit
for his engagements, and at all times it
made it difficult to move His trouble was
always visible to the public and frequently
when conducting service he would give out
and doctors had to be called in to attend
him. This occurred to him in the Yonge
Street Church, Toronto; the Baptist Church,
Woodstock, N. B.; the Methodist Church,

people in the franklin Street Congregational
Church, at Manchester, n. IL. Five doctors
had arrived and were in attendance before
he regained consciousness. In all these cities
and towns the newspapers freely mentioned
his aflliction at the time. Mr.. Dunnett said
he had consulted many physicians, though he
said. to be entirely fair, he had never been any
great length of time under treatment by any
one doctor because of his itinerant mode of
life. In the early part of the summer of 1896
while in Brockvllle assisting the pastor of the
Wall Street Methodist Church in evangelistic
services, he was speaking of his trouble to a
friend who urged him to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, and next day presented him with q
dozen boxes. " | took the pills" said Mr..
Dunnett "and | declare TO you | am well
man to-day. | used to worry a great deal
over the pain about my heart but that is all
gone now, and feel like new man." All
this the reverend gentleman told in a simple
conversational way, and when it was sug-
gested that he let it be known, he rather
demurred because, as he put it, 9 am almost
afraid to say | am cured, and yet there is no
man enjoying better health to-day than do"
At that time, at Mr.. Dunnett's request,
his statement was only published locally,
but now writing under the date of Jan. 2lsS,
from Fitchburg Mass, where he has been
conducting a very successful series of evan
gelistic meetings. he says: had held back
from writing in regard to my health not he
cause l had forgotten, but because it seemed
too good to be true that the old time pain
had gone. / cannot say whether it will ever
return but / can certainly say il has not
troubled me for months, and | am in better
health than / have been for years. / have
gained in flesh, hence in weight. I would
prefer not to say anything about my appel

Split in the Ranks.
Hong Kong, July 1-According to private
letters from Cavite, dated June q, the in
surgents occupy the whole of Bulucan
province. Occasional skirmishes occur.
The insurgents captured the Spanish
ship Behul in Kayabao bay while she
was landing 500 troops. A stubborn fight
ensued, in which the Spanish commander,
a lieutenant colonel, was killed.
The insurgents have captured the Gov
ernor of Bulucan, together with his wife
and children.
Gen. Aguinaldo placed under arrest the
rebel leaders Artachio and Sandico for
having revealed the fact that the steamer
Pasig, recently seized by the Hong Kong
authorities, was laden WITH arms for The
insurgents. Sandieo applied to Consul
Williams and was liberated. He is now
on board the Nanshan.
II IS feared the incident will cause a
split in the insurgent party. The insur-
gents fear that Gen. Aguinaldo will shoot
Artachio unless Admiral Dewey lnterferes,
as he is suspicious that Sandlco and Ar
tachio intended to form an opposition

maintained that the question was in no
sense a party issue, but the proposition
was one which ought to command in the
circumstances the support of men of all
parties. He had a heated colloquy with
Mr.. Caffery, Dem, of Louisiana. in the
