Volunteers are in Morgantown on
Account of Sickness Contracted in
Camp.
Dwight Miller of the Second regi-
ment and son of Prof. t. c. Miller OF
the University arrived in town on
Wednesday morning. He has been
at home for long time having had
a very severe experience with fever.
He was taken sick while the regi-
ment was at Charleston and when
he was able to be moved he was
taken to his home at Fairmont.
There he has been ever since
Dwight is chief trumpeter of the
regiment and likes the service very
much. He is very popular with the
boys here and they are all very glad
to see him. They have been greet
ing him enthusiastically ever since
he struck the town.
Lawrence Cox is another Morgan
town boy who has come back home
on leave. He is with the first regi-
ment at Knoxville and has not been
well since he joined them few
weeks ago. He is on thirty days
sick leave and is at his home in
South Morgantown. We hope that
he may soon recover from his indis-
position. He and Paul Bayles left
here sometime after the regiment
went South and they went into the
band under Walter Mestrezat.

ate.
The state meeting of the Knights
of Pythias, at Sistersville, is now in
full blast. The town is full OF the
visiting Knights and the decorations
are unusually fine Large crowds
of visitors who are not members of
the order have been drawn to Sis
tersyille by the meeting and they
help to swell the occasion into some
thing great.
Morgantown' representatives are
on the ground and they are finding
a good sentiment regarding the invi-
tation which they have extended to
the lodge to come here next year. A
number of the delegates who passed
through Fairmont on their way to
the meeting stated that they were
in favor Of Morgantown for the next
meeting place and that they would
work for this town if the invitation
was extended to come here.
They have never been here and
they have never been invited but
this time the lodge is in earnest and
they will land the plum if they pos
sibly can do so.
The work of the session is in full
blast Yesterday was given up to
receiving the arriving delegations
and locating them. The afternoon
was devoted to an disqualification of
the Knight rank in amplified form
by Hope Lodge No. 3 of Parkersburg.
The program which has been fol-

silver look of the shingles is carried
out with light gray siIesia cut in the
shape of the shingles themselves, and
each one is finished with irregularly
buttonheie stitchings and marked like
the streaks seen In old wood. These
slabsare then literally shingled on.like
those on the side of house, and
against this background the holly
hooks are realistically carried out in
embroidery and applied work.

the same artist-for one mast be an
artist to obtain such results-is a

possibilities for such conceptions are

PIRATE OF FISH.
The Bluefish Is the Most Vicious and
Destructive of All the
FiRny Tribe.

The greatest enemy to the best
species of fish is found in the vicious,
Voracious, and dangerous bluefsh. In
size, ordinarily as long as your arm, with
teeth like barbs, he can snap in halves
u fish of his own size, and nearly all
fish stand in mortal dread of him. Cen
orally travelling in schools-sometimes
as much as five miles in length-they
will in short order decimate school of
shad, spot, menhGden or such like. In
his stomach can be found numbers of
smaller fish, according to size. We
have opened one which contained a
trout almost his own size, while another
contained shad nearly as large. Still
others are found having within them
kelves one or more of their own species
of smaller size. We have seen them be-
hind q school of shad, spot, or men,
haden,a sometimes schools of mack
erel and cod, swapping and slashing
their prey until the water was all afoam.
They eat until they can hold no more,
but their viciousness is not abated.
With a snap shad is sundered and
spit out, ard the next shares the same
fate. They never tire, and the fish de-
ktroyed, but uncaten, cover the surface
of the water.
Without question the bluefish is by
far the greatest factor to be reckoned
with. considering the preservation of
our food fishes. But mans effort seems
to be futile in his extinction or Danish
ment. Nets will not hold him. and only
the stoutest line (for he is game" in
every sense of the werd), protected
with metal about the hook, will with
stand his vicious swapping. The only
method by which he is procured for
market in our waters Is with hand lines,
baited with menhaden. Hundreds of
New England fishing vessels commonly
termed "downeaster smacks," are now,
and will continue during the summer
and fall, fishing off our eapes and in the
Chesapeake bay in this manner. Our
own people do little or none of this kind
of fishing. The fish, when caught by
these smacks, are iced in boxes and bar
reIs, and from Cape Charles or some
other railroad point are shipped to
northern markets. The numbers
caught by these craft in comparison
with the myriads to be found at present
in our waters do not count for any
thing. and yet hundreds of boats and
thousands of men are engaged III the in
dustry.
1t has long been n question among
our people II the benefits to be derived
from these northern visitors-in the
way of reducing the number CT blue
fish and the money they invest with our
people for bait and provisions-will
equal the damage they do in tolling the
bluefish into our Richmond
Dispatch.

JAPANESE EMBROIDERY.
by the Exercise of Some CIeVeFness
Really Startling Effects Can

For anyone with artistic instincts
and n fair knowledge Of drawing Jap
anese embroidery is most fascipat-
ing employment. The secret or the
wonderful effects produced by this KIND
of handiwork is that the japanese hest

duce the effect they aim at. If they
desire to initiate an evening sunset
even, in textiles, they attempt 1t, and
The result, although it may be weird
combination that requires an eXplana-
ton to be underst God. is likely at all
events to be q rich commingling OF
tints that is agreeable to the eye.
Take for instance the accompanying
sketch, which. is taken from a state
saddlecloth that belonged to the rid
ing outfit of japanese noble. Ihe
groundwork is Of light blue cloth, rep
resenting sky; the birds are cut out OF
thick. soft, white flannel; these are
applied with chainstitch OF white
embroidery silk which covers the
edges. The eyes are put In with black
beads, and curved stitches of white
silk are used as the markings of feath-
ers, which, sinking deep into the tian-
mel, give rounded effect to the BIRDS
that are supposed to be fiuttering over
waves dashing up against rocks. The
latter are cut boldly out of black satin
and chainstitched on with gold thread,
and the former marked out on the
lines indicated with a chainstitch In
heavy white silk. The whole thing is
most simple, but really decorative, and
anyone would know at once what was
the motif.

produced some wonderfully artistic
conceptions simply by having no fear

THE FIRST TORPEDO.

Having our system now perfected,
we established torpedo station, some
five or six miles below Richmond, by
submerginG two iron tanks, containing
1000 pounds Of powder each. in IL feet
of water, leading the wires ashore, and
connecting them with galvanic bat
terry concealed in q small hut in deep
ratine. From the battery house the
wires were led TO an elevated position
near by, where the man In charge ooHld
keep a lookout for passing vessels.
The position of the torpedoes in the
water was indicated by two sticks,
planted about ten feet apart on the
bluff. and in line with each other and
the torpedoess aad the Watchl!maln's in
structions were to explode them by con"
tracing the wires as soon as an en-
emy's vessel should be on the line with
the two pointers. All this being pre-
pared, we awaited the approach of
federal gaRpoat. AS was usually the
case. one came wheR last expected. on
beautiful clear day, when our eatire
force except the man stationed as look
out was absent in Richmond, preparing
other war material.
We were apprised by telegraph of the
rapid approach of the gunboat, and i'm
mediately hastened toward our first
station; but we arrived toR late. The
man in charge had not seen the United
States flag for long period, and never
having previously seen a gunboat so
near, lost his presence of mind, and
fired ore of the 1.ooo-pound powder
tanks when the gunboat was at least
20 TO 80 yards distant. A great explo-
sion took place, throwing mp q large
column of water to considerable
height; and the gunboat by hen mo-
mentum plunged into the great trough,
and caught the downward rush of Il
wave on her forward deck. The guards
were broken away, half dozen men
were thrown oserboard and other dam
age TO the gunboat was caused. The
steamer then turned about as quickly
as she could, and prepared to retrace
her route down the river, after picking
up the men who had been washed over
