FISH HAUNT sUNKEN SHIPS.
"sweepins for Wrecks" Is an Inter-
esting Process Practiced by
New York Bay Anglers.

Reefs, mussel beds and old sunken
wrecks are always frequented by fish,
and the anglers search for them with
great patience. Sweeping" for wrecks
is an interesting operation. When the
men have an idea of just about where a
wreck is located they start off to
asweep." When they believe that they
have reached the neighborhood of the
wreck they shorten sail, if the wind is
stiff, and lower little drags or grapnels,
sometimes formed of big squids dashed
together. With the shortened sail the
boat is made to waltz about gently un-
til the drags catch the wreck Then
she is Shaken OUT and killed" All
hands except the skipper commence to
fish on the bottom with small hooks,
and convincing evidence that the boat
is over the wreck is produced by the
hooking of a blackfsh. Ranges or land
marks are then taken and the wreck is
captured. In among the old rotting
timbers sheepshead and big Blacklist
love to Turk, and in the eddies formed by
the old hulk all sorts of game fish are
apt to loiter. 1t is believed that there
are many old wrecks, which, if located,
would delight the hearts of the anglers.

HAMADAN IN PERSIA.
Tomb of Esther and Mordecai Has
Been Found There.
Its Discovery Establishes the Truth
of the Biblical Story and the Au-
thenticity of the Festival
of Purim.

The tomb of Esther aud Mordecai,
the famous characters in the Biblical
book of Esther, has been discovered
in Hamadan, Persia, and the inscrip-
tions on the sarcophagi and the tomb
itself read and translated. This. dis
covery is most timely, for some writer's
have tried to discredit the Biblical story
and the festival of Purim, which goes
back to it for basis.
Every reader of Scripture is familiar
with that strange tale of the Jewish
maiden whose beauty so touched the
king of Persia that he took her for his
wife and placed her on the throne by
his side. The Jews of Hamadan show
this tomb of the hero and heroine of
the Bible story to all travellers with no
small pride, for in it lies their title to
nobility, one of their own people hav-
ing actually reigned with the king.
This tomb has evidently been added
to at various periods, and is now 60 feet
high. The entrance is to the left of the
center, leading into an outer passage.
To the left is the tomb of some ancient
savage and to the right the tomb of an.
old physician, with stand bearing
lamps and oil in front of it.
A wall separates the sacred part
from this outer section. Al western
end door leads to the principal part
OF the tomb. To the right is Mordecai's
tomb and to the left Esther's, sepa-
rated from each other by a corridor
along which pilgrims pass going
around the sarcophagi. In a niche is a
scroll of the law, and an ostrich egg is
suspended beneath the dome, as is'the
custom in all Persian tombs.
The sarcophagi, says the New York
Herald, are made of dark wood, evil
IDENTIFY of great antiquity. and are COW
cred with inscriptions in Hebrew. On

Sky scraper. Are Ancient.

Lanciani, the famous Roman arch
eologist, has shown that in the Rome of
the Caesars trouble was experienced
with high buildings, says the Green
Bag. A law was passed restricting the
height of fronts to 60 feet. In order
to ewade it, builders adopted the prac-
tice of carrying up the rear portion sew
eral stories more. Other laws bearing
on the heights of buildings were passed
In olden times. There was tendency
to diminish the height of stories as the
buildings increased in size, and height
OF 100 feet was probably attained. is
believed that the ceilings were so low
that man could not stand upright in
the rooms.

Mordecai's sarcophagus is this inscrip-
ton:
Here is the holy ark of Mor1ecai the
Righteous. May his merits protect us!
Amen
The same inscription is repeated or
each side of the coffin, besides these.
verses from the Bible:
''Now, in Shushan, the palace, there
was a certain Jew, whose name was
Mordecai, the son of shimei, the son of
Kish, Benjamite, son Of"
'Then shall thy light break forth as
the morning, and thine health shall
spring forth speedily; and thy right
eousness shall go before thee; the glory
of the Lord shall be thy reward
Therefore, my heart is glad, and my
glory rejoices; my flesh also shall res t.
in hope. For thou wilt not leave my
soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.
Thou wilt show me the path of life; in
thy presence is fulness CT joy, at thy,
right hand there are pleasures forever
more"
On the sarcophagus of Esther are
these inscriptions:
"Here is the ark in which is Inferred
Esther the Righteous. May her merit
protect us! Amen"
'Then Esther, the queen, the daugh-
ter of Abihail, and Mordecai, the Jew,
wrote with all authority. to confirm
this second letter of Purim.''
"And the decree of Esther confirmed
these matters of Purim; and it was
written in the book. Aud the king.
Ahasuerus, laid tribute upon the
Land, and upon the isles IF the sea-"
Facsimiles of the inscriptions have
been taken from plaster impressions

Fight Brought on by Cubnns Seek
ing Puyment-Fiye Men Killed.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, August "a
Five men dead and ten wounded make up
the result Of a fight Tuesday night be-
tween gendarmes and disappointed Cuban
soldiers at Cuevitas, three miles from San
tiago, where the payment OF Cuban troops
is progressing. Five thousand Cubans lad
gathered there 10 receive pay, and after
three days only $3.50 had been paid. Thou
sands who had been disappointed at other
points had come TO Cueyitas, as the last
place of payment I'm the province.
The imperfect list causes great dissat-
isfaction. and q rumor circulated yester-
day that the paymasters would leave to-
day. alarmed the men who had not been
paid. They began to collect in groups and
TO show their annoyance. Finally their
threats became serious.
Captain Beiat with twenty gendarmes
was present 10 preserve order among the
applicants, and the United States troops
protected Colonel Moale, the officer hay-
ing charge of the payments. Suddenly
Captain Belat, who was mounted, was
surrounded, struck with stones and bot
ties. and hurt on the arm. His men fired
a volley, instantly killing three men and
wounding ten, two Of whom died this
morning. The United States troops sur
rounded the money office but took no
part in the fight. For a few minutes there
was a lively fight. carblnes and machetes
being used freely. Captain Beliat was
only slightly wounded on the arm. All the
killed and wounded were colored.
Payment was resumed this morning
under a heavy guard, as there We're ru-
mors THAI the pay Office would be attack
ed. but these reports were probably un-
founded. General Castillas was at Cue
vitas, and soon restored order.
Many veterans have vainly followed the
United States commissioners for six
weeks. only to find that their names are
not on the inaccurate lists.
General Leonard Wood does not anti
cipate further trouble.
