PACKING SARDINES.
How an interestinE and Important
New England Industry
Ii Conducted.

The packing of small herrings. or, az
they are often called. american sar.
dnes," is an important industry in
Maine. In that state there are so fac
tories, which give employment to
large number of hands during four or
five months Of the year. The annual
output is estimated to be of an average
value of $3,000,000, and about half OF
this amount finds its way into the pock-
cts of the factory employees in the form
of wages. The fish are caught in
seines scattered all along the coast for
distance of about hundred miles.
After the fish are taken in sailboats
to the factories they are thrown into
strong brine, where they remain for
some time. They are then laid on iron
crates and conveyed to an immense
oven, where the crates are laid on re-
volving shelves. After 90 minutes cook
Ing the fish are ready for packing.
There are two methods of packing, one
in oil, the other in mustard The
ground mustard is mixed with vinegar;
for oil packing cotton seed oil is used.
hDout III VI oii II put lHto Il cdU- anu
then the baked fish from the ovens are
carefully packed into it and the cover
snapped on. The pans then go TO the
sealer, who sits in front of little fur
mace in which his soldering inn is
plunged. Selling the can, he runs the
heated iron around the cover. holding
the solder just in front of it, and seals
the can so rapidly that the eye can
hardly follow his movements. The
sealed cans are thrown into a bath of
boiling water, in which they remain for
two hours. If any of them leak the
tops will bulge out, and these go back
to be reseaed. After the cans are
cleaned with sawdust they are packed
into cases and put on the market as
genuine American sardines in pure olive
oil

CHOATE THE LAWYER.

Mr.. Joseph H. Choate, who is he'd in
such high estimation by men OF all
parties, made at a public dinner. this
remark regarding himself:
4 know full well that the life spent
in forensic struggle is a wholly made
quate training for diplomacy / shall
have to rely upon other talents than
those that won success in the law. I
shall have to rely on a happy tempera-
Wentworth millions-an unfailing
good nature which no discussion can
ruffie, an honest intent, plain dealing,
and true speaking, conscious all the
| time Of the interests of my country.
paying just regard to the interests of
the country to which am credited. If l
| find that L have failed, then 1 will be
conscious at least that you and my
lcountrymen are with me-
Mr.. Choate makes a frank confession.
and presents his friends with a clear
biographical sketch OF himself in few
words
No man at the American bar exhibits
so much good nature which no discus
| sion can ruffle" IS he, and he is a
model in this respect for the younger
members of the bar
No doubt in every State and Terri
tory there are lawyers who exhibit the
same cautious temperament, but it is
| the general complaint OF judges that
/ the majority of lawyers lose their tenn
pers. when they cannot have their way
They forget that when clients retain
| them, an important part of the service
due 10 the clients is the keeping of the
temper. For when the temper rises
good management of the case falls
Mr.. Choate has repeatedly in his
long practice been assailed with the
most yituperative and offensive Ian
guage by his opponents. If he had a
humorous reply to make, he made it.
If he did not have it, he remained sill
ent.
| This sehivalrous manner, however,
entrapped opponents, and hostile wit
nesses. His apparent innocence and
| Indifference encouraged the belief that
| he was not interested in his case, and
| put opponent and witness off their
guard.
He is one of those lawyers who rarely
| cross examine a witness, and derives
much comfort in the severe cross-eX-
animation of his own witnesses by his
opponent, when they are telling the
truth.
| He has now probably finished his
career as a lawyer, and will enjoy his
new occupation. Whether he will ever
take office, through a popular vote, re-
mains an open question. He is not a
| favorite with the boys as he will
not submit to the bosses. His friends
claim that he will become conspic-
uous Republican in national affairs, as
his partner Mr. Evarts, was for sc
many years, although he was never
elected to Office.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Frederick E. Berg, of Washington Prai.
rie, Hangs Himself.

After several unsuccessful attempts
to end his life, Mr.. Frederick f. Berg,
living on Washington Prairie. about
seven miles southeast of this city, was
successful in an effort to hang himself
on Monday morning. He had suffered
stroke of paralysis several years ago.
from which he never fully recovered,
and his family have watched him care
fully; but early Monday morning he
went out to repair q fence, and not re-
turning after reasonable length of
time, the family instituted search for
him, and about $50 O'Clock his wife
found him hanging from rafter in the
cattle shed. The cause is attributed to
despondency over poor health.
He was native of Norway, about
fifty years old, and leaves wife and
six children. The funeral services
were held on Washington Prairie yes
terday afternoon.

LEAPED TO HIS DEATH.
W. H. Collins, Well Known Here,
Killed in Chicago.

J Decorah friends and acquaintance
of Will H. Collins were shocked ON
Monday morning to learn of his sud.
den death in Chicago OF Saturday
afternoon. He was quite well known
here and was very popular among his
friends. He brought his wife here q
few weeks ago and they spent some
time visiting with friends in the city.
We clip the following account of his
death from the Sunday Inter Ocean:
Collins was employed as q travelling
salesman by Hood, Falkroyd & Co.. q
branch of the firm Of John Wanamsk.
er. He had lived in Chicago from
b0yhood. About two weeks ago he
bought q cab horse in Iowa, which he
intended 20 drive himself. The nni.
NAL proved TO be unused to city ways,
however, and Z. llins left him with
the livery firm of p. X. Ryan & Co.,
on the North Side, with Instructions to
drive him until he became easily
handled. He concluded to try the
animal himself yesterday, and went
out in road wagon with the foreman
of the barn where the horse was kept.
The two drove down as far as Rush
street bridge, the foreman holding the
lines, and the horse was apparently
well broken.
After reaching Rush street bridge
Mr.. Collins concluded that the animal
was. all right, and decided to return to
his house, leaving the foreman at the
barn. When they had reached Wal
ton place there were number of boys
firing firecrackers, which caused the
horse to rear somewhat. He would
probably have passed all right, how.
ever, had not one of the boys suddenly
thrown one of the explosives just In
front of the animal.
his teeth end bolt up the avenue
While the driver was guiding him, Mr..
Collins apparently lost his head and
suddenly seized the left rein, intending
to get the horse into the middle of the
drive. The rein broke of close to the
bit. and the two men were at the
mercy of the horse.
Collins, seeing that there was nc
chance to stop him, made his fatal
leap. Bystanders picked him up, but
he lived less than five minutes aftel
being placed in the ambulance, which
was summoned. A doctor was called
but It was found that his services were
not needed. Collins neck was broken
and his skull was fractured.
The foreman who was with Collins
was thrown from the wagon and bad
" injured. He lost one eye and was
taken To a North Side hospital.
