Raised by Mr.. Arthur T. Goldsborough on

The strawberry season just closing las

District it has been made memorable by
the production of the largest berries on
record. Several days ago Mr.. Arthur T.

Agriculture some berries he had raised at
his place on Wesley Heights. Secretary

them over to Mr.. William A. Taylor act

of each was three ounces and six one-hun-

two-iifths ounces The largest berry weigh

inches in circumference. Some idea can be
formed as to the size of these berries, when
it IS known that one-ounce berry is rarely
seen in our market. quart of berries
usually weighs between seventeen and
eighteen ouLces, and a box of good berries

QUEER THINGS AT QUANTICO
Veracious Chronicles of Remarkable Angling
Experiences.
Catches Recently Made by Charlie
Laird, Jesse Middleton and
Henry Talbot.

The fish story season is opening this year
with more than promising prospects. Usu-
ally these anecdotes, like the men from
Bitter creek, get tougher the father up the
Potomac one goes, but they will have to
assume miraculous proportions If the up
river expects TO get a place in the years
chronicle with the lower part of the stream.
The first crop comes from Quantico and
is vouched for by most verac,ous gentle
men, and there can be no question of the
truth of the recitals.
The first event of unusual character oc-
CURED about two weeks ago at Quantico.
Mr. Charlie Laird of the Post Office De-
partment, who is one of the most unremit-
ting and successful sportsmen in the Dis
trlct, was down at Occoquan after the willy
Small-mouth bass. Batting his hook with
a bull minnow. he cast 1t into an inviting
rifle. Suddenly he had a bite that startled
him. His wide piscatorial experience had
never before embraced such an incident
Equal to the occasion, however, Mr.. Laird
reeled in his line and at the end of 1t two
swapping turtles met his aStonished gaze
Investigation showed that both turtles had
evidently struck the mlnnow at once and
their beaks became impaled on the hook
simultaneously.
Subsequently to this Messrs. Jesse Middle
ton and Mr.. Henry Talbot, both equally
redoubtable anglers as Mr.. Laird, went
down to Quantico.
Mr.. MIDI eton saw catfish fioundering
near the surface, and remarked that he
would catch it. Deity casting his hook in
advance of the fish, he gratified to
see the latter grab it. Bringing it in, he
discovered that moccasin snake had re-
garded the fish as an appropriate luncheon
and had proceeded to swallow it tail first.
The fish too large for the snakes
thorax and its fins had caught therein.
Mr.. Middleton took the small rifle he al
ways carries on his fishing excursions and
shot the snake and then landed his remark
able catch.
Mr.. Talbot, not to be outdone in double
catches, proceeded to even up matters. even
if the design unintentiona.. He is a
fly fisherman and knows the pleasure the
pike at Quantico afford to adopts. He cast
fly, and it struck hard. After play
ing the fish he supposed had taken it until
the latter was weary he proceeded to coax
it to the landing net. When he utilized
the latter he drew up two pike in it. The
fly had been taken by one and had pro-
truded through its gill, when it quick
ly taken by the ether.
Affidavits, if necessary, will substantiate
the above trio of remarkable fish stories.

PASSES TWO MILLION MARK.
Police Census Gives Chicago a POpu.
IatiOn of 2,OSS,O43.

According to a police census the total
population of Chicago is 2uSS,0i3.
Before last November it exceeded the
2,OG1,000 mark, ard al the present time the
popuia ton may be in excess of the ngures
given here. These are the deductions made
by Sergeant a. T. DelOng of the police bu-
reau of records, from the estimates of the
number of residents given by the police de-
partment
This is not a census of actual count, but
is regarded by the police as being very near
the actual number-not more than 10000,
more or less, out of the way.
The police department takes a census
each year on which to base the apportion-
ment of officers and patrolmen by precincts
and to regulate the estimate of the number
of men needed to properly police the terri
tory within its jurisdiction. The census is
taken by the patrolmen on the respective
beats. Each patrolman reports how many
persons reside on the beat he patrols. the
total of the reports from the patrolmen is
returned as the population of the precinct
in which they serve. The aggregate of the
precinct is reported and recapitu,ation OF
the figures given by officers in charge Of
the precinct Is made to obtain the grand
total population of the city.

Finger Nail Fancies.

In early times it was considered that bad
luck would certainly attend any person
who neglected to either burn or bury the
parlng OF his finger nails. Among the
Hebrews it was the custom to pare the
halls on Friday, and the operation had
to be conducted in certain manner The
little finger on the left hand had first to
be operated on, then the middle finger.
followed by the fourth finger, thumb and
forefinger. The nail of the middle finger
OF the right hand had to be cut; then came
the thumb. then the forefnger, and after
ward the fourth and little finger
When fortune telling was more in Vogue
than at present the shape and appearance
of the finger nails was looked on as hay-
ing reference to ones destiny. The nails
were first rubbed over with a mixtare of
wax and SCOT, and after being thus pre-
pared, were held SO that the sunlight fell
full upon them. On the horny Transparent
substance were supposed to appear signs
and characters from which the future
could be interpreted.
Persons. too, with certain descriptions of
nails were supposed to possess certain
characteristics. For instance, man with
red and spotted nails was of fiery hot
tempered disposition, while pale, lead
permanent.
Ambitious and quarrelsome people were
distinguished by narrow nails, while lovers
of knowledge and liberal sentiment had
round-shaped nails.
Cenceited. obstinate and narrow minded
persons were possessed of small nails; law.
indolent individuals of fieshy nails, and
those of gentle, timid nature of broad
nails.
Those persons whose nails grow into the
flesh at the sides are generally luxurious
ly inclined. while those with very pale
nails are subject to both bodily and mental
suffering.

MINISTER sTORER RECEIVED.
Spain's Queen Regent Inquiries Re-
gardinE the Presidents Health.

A dispatch from Madrid says: The newly
appointed minister 10 Spain, Mr.. Bellamy
Storer, was received in formal audience by
the queen regent yesterday. There were no
speeches, only few cordial phrases beng
exchanged.
Two state carriages from the royal sta
bles conveyed Mr.. Storer from the Hotel de
Rome to the palace, and took him back TO
the hotel after the audience. Premier Sill
vela presented Mr.. Storer to her majesty.
There We're no crowds about the palace,
Mr.. Storer's reception being unannounced
in order to avoid disagreeabe inciaen,s 5.
The fact that there were no speeches is not
surprising, as this is the practice when
ministers are received. Speeches are only
made in the case of ambassadors.
Nevertheless, the queen regent was very
amiable and complimentary toward Mr..
Storer, and inquired cordially concerning
the health of President Mckinley.

Men Who Will Form, the Metropolitan
COElpany DIRECTORY.

Some idea of the method to be followed in
the handling of the various street railroad
and electric lighting companies, which have
recently been purchased in the same inter-
ests, it Is thought, is given in the transfer
to the new owners of the stock of the
Metropolitan company, which has been
made, now that the payment for the stock
has been completed. The $1,000 odd shares
have been placed in the name of the new
holding company, the Washington Traction
and Electric Company, with the exception
of six shares which Were made out in the
names of as many individuals The names
OF the latter are Mr.. Kountze, the New
YORK BANKER; {. A. Leih, O. T. Crosby, +.
I. stevens, Nathaniel Wilson and Arthur
+. German. These men are to be chosen
in the place of the members of the present
board of directors of the Metropolitan road
when the reorganization is made next week
and 1t is supposed that they will also be

MES controlled by these interests, as well
