TAMPA's FISHERIES CONGRESS-.
The Session Marked by Interesting
Discussions.

Tampa, Fla, Jan. 21.-The National
Fisheries Congress reconvened at the Tam
pa Bay Hotel to-day with a large number
of delegates present.
It was a purely business session, and
after the opening, T. T. Charlton made
a short talk, showing the benefits that
fishing for pleasure had given to his state.
SO well regulated is it, said he, that rec
ords are kept, and last year over $1,000
600 was spent by fishermen, who went there
from other states. AS wages are getting
lower and the army Of unemployed is
growing larger he thinks more attention
should be given fish culture TO provide
food for the people.
The committee on resolution reported,
and the report was adopted,
Vice President ID. p. Corwin of Penn
sylvania was called to the chair, and
President Cheney read a paper on the
Hudson river shad

the rainbow trout and salmon planting in
the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers

a paper on fish farming in Florida
Prof. s. G. Bumpus of Brown University
of Providence read an interesting paper
pointing out how unhealthy fish are for
food, handled as they are in the regular
channels of trade He advocated reform
in this and showed that they could be kept
in perfect condition with very little trou-
BILE, and would be worth a good deal more
and be more wholesome. His paper at
tracted a great deal of attention. and will
bear good fruit, as the people will demand
that their food fish be treated better after
being caught hereafter.
There were very many interesting dis
cussions on different papers by various
delegates present, and the interest was
greatly increased thereby.
Tomorrow the delegates will be carried
by special train to Port Tampa, and will
be carried down the bay 10 Egmont light

STOCK MARKET IRREGULAR.
Bulls in Control in Some Stocks ana
Bears at Others.

New York, Jan. q .-Bradstreets Finen-
cial Review tomorrow will say: 'Irreou-
lar speculative conditions have prevailed
during the week The rising of prices and
bear attacks on prices have been seen.
the latter based on the renewal of the Gu
ban agitation in the House of Represent
atiVes at Washington and silver measures
in the Senate
ION the other hand, there were evidences
of buying, and in one portion of the mar
ket the normal degree of strength has been
shown. This group included the stocks of
the Union Pacific and the companies
whose titles include the name of Oregon.
The basis for their activity and strength
was the growing belief that the companies
in question will obtain an enormous
amount of traffic in the coming spring
and summer from the transportation of
passengers and freight destined to the
Alaskan gold fields. The strength shown
in this part of the market to some extent
counteracted the bearish demonstrations
in other parts of the market.
In the bond lists, which were very act
i've, though not to such an extent as asst
week, the features were also largely FUR
nished by the so-called 'Klondike' group of
companies.

was not factor in the market here: in
fact the public there was inclined TO take
an unfavorahle view of Che revival Of the
silver agitation in Congress. On the other
hand, Berlin and Amsterdam have been
large purchasers of Northern and Union
Pacific securities. The indpstrials, with the
exception of sugar. were neglected and
that stock was generally speaking. weak,
except when the covering of short interest
gave it temporary advances. The Wander

In outside sDecialties the feature was

BABVs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

4 Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
AT the age OF two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used ell the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, 1 began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very
grateful. Ny boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. S. S. WRoTEN, Farming
ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.

SOLICITOR o'NEAL INDICTED.
The Action "A Result of His Attack on
Orth Stein.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 21.-Solicitor James F.
O'Neill of the City Court, was indicted by
the grand jury to-day for assaulting o. H.
Stein, the editor of the Looking Glass, in
the Kimbal House corridor several weeks
ago.
Ulla Hardeman, who was present when
the difficulty occurred, was the witness
before the grand jury, upon whose evil
dence the indictment was found. An eff
fort was made to get Editor Stein to go
before the county inquistors, but his phys
zeal condition prevented him from appear
ing. After the indictment of the editor of
the Looking Glass several days ago, for
carrying a concealed weapon, several citi-
zens approached the grand jurors, and
stated that Mr.. O'Neill ought to be made
to answer to the state for his part in the
affair, and these suggestions led to the ac-
ton to-day.
Mr.. O'Nelll was fined $40 by Recorder
Calhoun on the charge Of violating a city
ordinance at the time of the face slappng
incident which grew out of the prosecu-
ton by Solicitor O'Neill of several Savan-
nah gentlemen for playing poker in the
kimball House, while the legislature was
in session last December.

In 1893 the state levy was % cents on the

Inc county levies are on an average about
equal to the state rate. Thus the people of
Georgia paid IN 1888 in taxes to the state
and counties, when cotton brought 1015
cents pound, less than $4,000. 900
and in 1897, when cotton sold at a.
cents, they paid nearly 5000 600.
A few more years of annual increase at
this rate will mean to many people confis-
cation and ruin.
In the name of humanity, let us put on
the brakes. The people who pay the
taxes are entitled to as much consideration
as those who get the benefits of them.
