DECLINE WITH REGRET.
Commissioners Unable to Comply
With Justice Mckenna's Request.

Mr.. Justice McKenna of the United States
Supreme Court, residing at 2I27 California
avenue, recently requested permission of
the District Commissioners to connect his
residence with the burglar alarm system of
the Mutual District Messenger Company.
Today the Commissioners wrote Justice
McKenna THAI they very much regret that
it is not within their power to grant his
request. as the law does not pervnh the
stringtng of wires for the purpose. Similar
requests, say the Commissioners, have been
made TO them, and In each case they have
been compelled to decide the matter as in
this instance. In view of the situation in
which the law unav oidably places them the
Commissioners feel assured that their en-
forced dec1ination will not be construed as
a lack of personal desire to serve the ap-
paicant.

NELSON DINGLEY's SUCCESSOR.

The apathy of voters was noticeable in all

under democratic regime, but were unsue-
cessful, Littlefield securing a majority of
over 500 In Bath, the home of the demo-

ANGLERS ARE Il ANIMATED
Small-Mouth Bass and Other Game Fish
Are Plentiful
Exodus Expected in the Next Few
Days-Pertinent Suggestions of
Interest to Fishermen.

The clearing condition of the Potomac
and its tributaries is animating anglers
with pleasant anticipation, and while there
has already been big advance guard on
the water, the great exodus is just about
to begin, and the next few days will prob
ably see the whole army in action.
The smali-mouth black bass is the most
coveted fish In this neighborhood, as it Is
the gamest. Reports from up-river points
indicate that they are plentiful and biting
freely. The early goers have been well
rewarded. Mr.. Frank Simons and Mr.. A.
Minnix have secured the largest string so
far heard from. They returned last night
from Point of Rocks, having caught nfty-
one bass, the top weight being a tour
FOUNDER. Nearly all the fish were caught
casting, showing the bass are hungry.
The two biggest bass thus far reported
weighed, respectively. four pounds Two ana
four pounds twelve ounces. The flrst was
landed by Adolph Loehe Of this city, June
l, near Seldens Island, just below the
mouth of Goose creek, at its conjunction
with the Potomac. The other was caught
last Sunday by Mr.. Oliver Moulden OF ROCK
viIe at the head of Katie's Island, near
George Pennyfield's place, about twelve
miles above Great Falls.
Large-mouth black bass and crappie are
biting freely at nearly al points near
the Virginia channel along the causeWay,
at Four Mile Run and at Riverside, Just
this side Of Mount Vernon. Fine sport
has been enjoyed at Occoquan, both above
and below the fails
The water at present is sufficiently clear
for uye-bait fishing, and by the latter part
of the week it is expected to be In proper
shape for fly fishing as well. Ihere Is
general inquiry by anglers regarding the
securing of live bait. such as pike smelt,
bull minnows. young catfish. chubs and
young carp. and the opinion is constantly
expressed that if some enterprislng man
would establish in Washington depot
where such bait could be secured at an
times, and advertise his location, he would
do a thriving business during the fishing
season, which will now last until the water
gets too cold for the sport to be pursued
1t would be a good !dea it Is said, for
anglers who are real sportsmen to keep
keen eye out for trap lines on their excur-
sions and cut and destroy them wherever
found. They are Illegal and consequently
any citizen has a right TO destroy them
From Great Falls UP to Point Of Rocks the
pot fishermen who supply the market adopt
this mode of taking fish. 1t is said, and
thousands of small-mouth bass are muir
dered every season by this system.

SELLING A MINE.
lite Prospec is Must not be Exae-
t.st 8erated.

Exaggerated statements concerning
mine development, ore in sight, produc-
ton and possibilities, are in these days
taken with much allowance. Twenty or
thirty years ago less attention was Civ
en- to the fact than now. A mine with
half million in sight would readily sell
then for double the amount. Now the
cost Of equipment and production is
charged against the half million, and
q reasonable allowance made for ore not
blocked cut, for experience has proven
that ore bodies are erratic; they often
fail to 60 down, or going down, have
been known to decrease materially in
value. There are some who cannot UNI
derstand why this is SO. They we're
known in the good old days" when
everything was taken for granted, and
they can see no reason why the same
condition should not obtain now. Then
all mining was looked upon as gamble
and investors had to take gamblers
chance. Now mining is legitimate
business, and it is yearly growing more
conservative. Capital is ready for in
vestment, but It must see something
tangible, and where this is possible i
