Anxiety. EG
London, Nov. IL. = The scanty and
conflicting news from the seat of war
and the fact that Gen. White has not
yet said a word about the alleged fight
ing around l.adysmith are again pro-
ducing II feeling of great anxiety, and
that Gen. White has sent news and
that Gen. Butler has thought best to
keep it to himself. And that is the
version which is becoming to be be-
llevetl. as it is held impossible that
news of the heavy fighting brought by
kaffirs In such circumstantial detail
can he wholly groundlcss. So 1t is re-
garled as ominous that the govern.

maidens CT Highland Falls have organized
the first kissing Bug Club in the world.
1t is a secret organization. The girls will
not deny if you ask them that its object
is 10 catch specimens of melanolestes pici-

men, The girls say the club is benevolent
as well as social: but wise old society men
OF Highland Falls declare that the clubs
only benevolence will be the benevolent as
similation of men via the altar. One Of
the most active charter members of the
club is handsome maiden of forty years,
who was bitten on both lips a week ago.
and both lips swelIed till they looked like

enough bachelors are stung by the kissing
bug there will soon be an osculato- matri-

Van NOrden who for seven years has been
a hard-working officer in the field. Miss
Cora then became mistress of the Van Nor
den mansion. at 16 West Forty eighth
Street, where she lived with her father and
brother.
Young Mr.. Van Norden year ago mar
ried Miss Grace Talcott, daughter OF the
millionaire dry goods merchant.

his younger daughter redoubled car

Miss Cora is now Lieutenant Van Norden

WHERE CRABS ARE CAUGHT.
A Busy Scene mt the Mussel Hole
Grounds.

A
Grounds.
CrisfeId, Md, Aug. 1.-One of the best
places for Grabbing in this section is the
Mussel Hole, on the north side of Hedges
Strait. The crabbers from Deals Island
and other places in Somerset county have
built shanties there, so that they can be
on the grounds at all favorable opportuni-
ties OF the tide and wind. The Mussei
Hole contains about ten acres of marsh
land, and at the present time looks like a
small village. On a low tide from 75 TO
100 men can be seen wading around the
island, as il is possible then to walk two
miles in either direction Crabs are taken
there in great numbers, and boats from
different portions of the Chesapeake Bay
find ii an excellent place TO buy crabs for
packers.
The crabbers either work from a skiff
sharp AZ both ends and styled a sharpie,
or they wade about the bars towing a live
box. In Grabbing from sharpie the crab
Der is provided with a net and a box COW
cred with a funnel-shaped piece of canvas,
so that the crabs when caught and thrown
on the canvas naturally slide down through
the opening. This breaks the fall and also
protects the crabs from the sun. The live
box is boat-shaped box perforated with
holes, which is always full of water and
preserves the crabs alive
The crabbers at the Mussel Hole are well
posted on this species of sea food, and it Is
interesting to hear them talk of slobs, or
cannibals box-peelers, net-peelers, bust
ers, and soft crabs. The cannibals are at
once thrown back, for If placed in a foat
they bite the crabs while shedding, which
invariably ends in death. Box-peelers be-
come net-peelers after being kept in floats
for few days. The net-peelers are ready
to shed as soon as caught.
In visiting the Mussel Hole the buyboats
do not anchor, but drift about with seven
or eight skiffs fastened TO them, all the
occupants of which seem to be talking at
once. The subject is always crabs, and
woeful tales are told of the counting of
preceding buyboats- "Myi that's a good
crab" will be heard time and again as the
skillful counter breaks the claws of the
eannibal and throws him overheard.

was Michael Kurtz, and he first came to
notice in connection with the robbery of

1876 he was arrested at Baltimore for the
robbery of a Broadway cloak house and
of the Boston Silk Store. He was SEN
fenced to the Massachusetts, penitentiary
for twelve years.
After four years he was pardoned on the
ground that he was dying. His complaint
baffied the prison surgeons. 1t was Pc
cuiar wasting disease, they reported.
"Sheeny'' Mike for several months had
been swallowing pills made of soap, and
his pitiable condition was produced in this
way. After his release his health rapidly
returned, and within three months he was
arrested in this city for the robbery of
the leading dry goods establishments, and,
with John Love, was implicated in the rob-
berry Of Washington jewelry store
