Fish Hooks,

People have been fishing for many hun
dreds of years, but, Of course, they have
not always had nice steel fish hooks,
such as we use. Often in digging in the
wood and even copper are found that
were used by the people of long ago
These hooks are larger and clumsier than
ours, but they caught fish with them
making up in patience for what inven-
ton has given us. Patience will do
wonderful things sometimes.

POSSIBLE LABOR CANDIDATE.
Union Men Talk of Having a Nom
inee of Their Own.

Talk of an independent candidate
for commissioner was quite prevalent
yesterday. The story going is to the
effect that the labor uniOnists look
upon the coming election as a rare op-
portunity for displaying their strength
and are determined upon naming and
electing a man of their own.
c. 7. Boland, the South Side con-
tractor, is the man, and the commits
sionership the office they have picked
upon. Mr. BOland's selection is due to
his friendliness to the union men he
being the first contractor to accede to
the union carpenters scale. His per-
sonal qualifications and the fact that
he is not very prominently identified
with politics made him all the more fit,
in the eyes of the labor men, The
union men claim to have a strength
of 10000 in LaCkawanna county.
The only development of the past
two days on the Democratic side was
the entrance of +. J. Hickey into the
fight for commissioner.
