H. L. Leonard, who has recently gone
into the fish hatchery business in Goshen,
received visit from State Fish Commits
sioner Titcomb and Sheriff W. c.
Fletcher recently. The officers found
that Mr.. Leonard had over 800 brook
trout under six inches long, besides
large number over six inches. AS it was
claimed that Mr.. Leonard had hired men
and boys TO catch these trout for him
the fish were taken from the hatchery
and put back into the brook, with the
exception of about 20 which were taken
away. 1t is not known just what the
fish commissioners intend to do in this
case.
Lufus Benson, aged twenty.one years,
met horrible death at Fair Haven,
Tuesday afternoon, June 10. His father
is proprietor of summer hotel in that
village and the young man had charge
of the barn. About. noon he went to
the barn to put up some horses that a
pleasure party had driven. Not return
ing in time for dinner and answering no
calls his father went to call him. A terri
BILE sight greeted his eyes. His son,
bruised, trampled and bleeding, lay un-
conscious under the heels of vicious
horse. He was extricated and taken to
the house but died in about an hour.
The manner in which the boy met his
death seems to be that he slipped or was
knocked down in the stall and the vic
ious horses cruel hoofs did the rest.
His face was mangled almost beyond
recognition.

Dewey 10 20, 500.

The navy department has issued
circular fixing the salaries OF navy
officers under the naval personnel bill.
Admiral Dewey will receive $13,500,
whether on duty at sea or on shore.
The senior rear admiral's pay is fixed at
$500 at sea and $6375 on shore. Rear
Admiral Schley is in this list, but only
receives the minimum amount, as he is
assigned to shore duty. The junior rear
admirals receive $500 while on sea
duty and $4675 on shore. Rear Admiral
Sampson is in the junior list, but having
a command at sea receives the maximum
pay. Should Schley be given an assign
ment at sea he would receive $4,000
more year than Sampson, but as it
now is his pay amounts to but 1915
more. Captains receive $500 at sea
and $4,000 on shore.

Sanitation as an investment.

In the United States alone the loss
through typhoid fever and other water
borne diseases is beyond ordinary COM
prehension. 1t is not far wrong to esti-
mate the number of persons annually
thus afflicted at 100000, of whom 50,-
900 die. At the lowest legal valuation
set upon human life the enormus total OF
$27S,OOO 900 is found to be the equiva-
lent cash loss. If by improvement OF
the water-supplies the death-rate could
be reduced eighty-fve per cent.
1896, 100000 would remain for this pur.
pose, and this amount at five per cent
annually for interest and sinking fund
charges for forty years, would justify an
an outlay of no less than Sd, 1854, SILL
900 for water publication.

The Burlington Daily News vouches
for this: A cat belonging to Peter
Gosselin of Archibald street has made
itself famous by developing an appetite
for needles and thread. About two
weeks ago bunch formed on the side
Of the cats neck just below the ear and
it was thought at first that the feline
had the mumps. The bunch remained
there for several days until one morning
Mrs. Goselin noticed something hang
ing from it and on examination it
proved to be needle which she pulled
out, and found about fifteen inches of
carpet thread attached to it. 1t is prob
able that the cat swallowed the needle in
piece of meat as Mr.. Gosselin was &C.
customed to feeding the cat in his work
shop.

Innings for Trunks.

A new fashion for the summer travel
ler's trunk is that of linen Innings to be
placed in the trays and compartments.
They can be simply made, with hem at
the finish. They have become so popu-
lar, owing to the ease with which they
can be washed, that they are taking the
place of satchels.
Another convenience made of linen is a
case for holding shirtwaists. These are
of a wash material, and made like a
nigbtgown case, the edges bound with
colored braid or with ribbon, the owners
initials being embroidered in cotton or
wash silks.

Something 10 Know.

It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centers in the stomach, gent
" stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and
aids these organs in throwing off inn
purities in the blood. Electric Bitters
improves the appetite, aids digestion,
and is pronounced by those who have
tried it as the very best blood purifier
and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC.
