/ NEW FISH in JERSEY WATERS

The report of Charles A. Shriner, Fish
and Game Protector, for the month of
May shows that during that month
so white bass, ia white perch, 254
strawberry bass and 80 channel cats
were distributed in the waters of the
State. Pompton Lake got 8 white bass,
Al pike perch, 5 strawberry bass and 10
channel catfish. The strawberry bass is
a stranger to New Jersey waters. 1t
comes from Lake Erie in the present
consignment. 1t is known throughout
the west by number of different names.
1t is frequently called the calico bass,
and this name is more appropriate than
any other, when the appearance OF the
fish is considered. 1t is also known in
the west as grass bass, bitterhead lamp
lighter and bank lick bass; in Lake
Michigan it is invariably called the bar
fish, and in the southern part of the west
it is referred to as goggled-eyed perch.
AS matter of fact the strawberry bass,
like the rock bass, the crappie and other
similar fish, belongs to the sunfish family.
The strawberry bass is of bright gold
and black, with numerous varying
shades, being one of the most beautiful
of fish. 1t is fond of grassy bottoms and
quite and clear water and objects to
mud. Although specimens weighing
tvvo Ioounds have haen found il ia sell
dom that the fish attains size of more
than one pound. 1t is very gamy on the
hook and rises rapidly to the fly. 1t is
frequently COMPOUNDED with the crappie,
a fish it very much resembles in general
appearance and structure, the principal
differences being that in the crappie the
white predominates, where the gold is
found in the strawberry. and that the
latter is not fond of muddy bottoms, as
is the crappie.

1t is said the future rival of the
trolley, for it has none at the present
time, is the automobile. For some weeks
Thomas A. Edison has been at work upon
a machine, with the result lis understood
that the great inventor will soon pro-
duce horseless carriage for the people,
one which can be sold at low price
less than one would have to pay for a
good team of horses, and the mainten-
ance of which will be only one-fifth
what the team would cost-which will
run $50 miles without recharging, which
any child can operate, and which will be
entirely noiseless.

The Chicago park authorities have sur
rendered to the automobilists, and the
new vehicle will not be excluded from
the pleasure drives of that city. The
question was bound to come up, and it
is well to have it settled as soon as
possible in such.large cities as Chicago
and New York. Horses will get used
to the automobile just as they did to the
trolley car and the bicycle. With any
thing like judicious treatment Ia holse,
however spirited, doesn't need to meet a
strange but harmless object on the road
more than dozen times to learn that it
will not harm him. Expert horsemen
know how to easily bring their animals

THE announcement that Secretary Al
ger has openly entered the race for the
Michigan senatorship, under the pro-
tecting wing of the capital-hating Pin
gree and against President McKinley's
personal friend, Senator Macmillan, is
interesting the whole country. Itseems
to be generally believed that the pro-
clamation is preliminary to retirement
from the cabinet and that the country
could continue to do business in that
emergency. Michigan politics are pecu-
liar goods, but it is thought that Mac
MILAN will easily beat out the combina-
ton, especially as Pingree and Alger
have followings that have no use for
each other and are naturally antagonis-
tic Alger's declaration in favor of
electing senators by direct vote of the
people is mere bid for .populistic a.
sistance.

San Francisco, June 30.-Dr. Babat,
Psychologist of the board of health, has
just returned a report of his examina-

bacilli to be those of the bubonic plague
and to make his determination doubly
sure will propagate their growth The
bodies of the Japanese We're cremated.
Passengers on board the Nippon Maru
have telegraphed the secretary of the
treasury protesting against their deten-
tion at quarantine, as they assert that
there is no proof that the victims who
died en- route from the orient We're suffer
ing from the plague. The local health
officials state that the passengers will not
be released until there is absolute certain
ty the disease does not exist on board the

IT is expected that after to-day the
sewage of Paris will no longer be turned
into the Seine. The great sewage farms,
sandy plains, will receive the sewage
holding the solid matter, while the water
drains away in filtered condition. The
tract selected is peculiarly adapted to
the experiment and complete success is
expected. This effort to save the valu-
able fertilizing material contained in
sewage and also to stop the fouling of
rivers will be studied with great inter-
est.

to which he returned, thus showing him

Men like General Wood, who are con-

in getting rich, are valuable reminders
of the generally forgotten fact that there
are host of ways in which men can be
more usefully and more agreeably en-

Have Lost Patience.

Taking the Shreveport Journal as
the mouthpiece of that city, we
learn that the people have at last
tired of putting up their money as
a bonus for everything and every
body that asked it of the city.
Here is the way the Journal speaks
of the matter:
There are some strange notions
in existence regarding the things
which elate the popular mind of
this city. Having literally subsid-
lied every railroad entering our
doors, it is looked upon as a matter
of course that we should continue
the system for the pleasure of add
ing to our facilities for increased
volume for shouting for ourselves.
Like the servant that was faithful
in few things, we are to be made
lord over many things and enter
into the joyous philanthropy of
building railroads and erecting al
legged industrial plants for every
promoter that has the gall to make
the demand upon our exuberance of
spirits and donations. "
