INDEPENDENT CROP.

Clinton and Sterling Friends of Can
ddates Dissatisfied.
Clinton, Sept. 2S.-There is much talk
of running an independent ticket in
Sterling. Edward P. Bartlett is be-
ing urged by his friends to get into the
game. The trouble comes in this way:
Mr.. Bartlett expected first chance to be
representative, because, as he says,
there was an understanding some years
ago, when it was Sterlingls turn to
have representative in the 18th dis
trict, and F. NJ. Bates was elected, that
he should have the next chance.
Mr. Bates, however, who is a keen,
shrewd politician, and a hard worker,
pulled the wires so as to land the nom
ination a second time, by a few votes.
He was stronger than Mr.. Bartlett or
Mr.. Chandler, the other candidate. Had
there not been three candidates in the
field, Mr. Bartlett would have been sue
cessful
Effort is being made by prominent
republicans to induce S. Ives Wallace
to run independently. Many republic
cans are not satisfied with the way in
which he and other leading members
of the party were thrown down by Guild
men.
Thus far Mr.. Wallace has not given
hint of his purpose. There is little
doubt but that he could take a large
proportion of the vote of Clinton, and
the votes Of enough democrats to elect
him. Democrats have neither hope nor
show of electiSg a man of their own,
the district is so heavily republican, and
many would vote for Mr. Wallace on
account of the sympathy they have.
Nobody was ever thrown down in that
way before in defiance of the long-es-
tablished custom of giving every man
two terms and sometimes three

alton. 1t takes two weeks for the
wound to heal up. But at the end OF
that time the fish RECEIVERS some of its
friendliness for its captor, who has
daily fed it. When the iron ring has
been in the tail for a couple of months
the first training of the fish is attempt
ed.
By this time it does not hurt the fish
to pull on the ring, and it can be lifted
up by it. A light, but very strong
braided cord is fastened into the ring
and the remora IS taken to the fishing
grounds for it's first lesson. When
plunged overheard its first effort is tc
attach itself to the bottom of the boat
and net has been arranged under the
boat to prevent this. The remora has
been fed very sparingly for a week OIL
two before it is given its first lesson
and it is very hungry when it goes in
to the water
Finding itself baked in trying to at
tach itself to the bottom of the boat the
creature swims out and looks for other
prey. If a shark, large turtle or por-
poise happens to be in the vicinity the
remora will make dive for it, and at
tach its suckers to the under side OF
it's body. Then the fishermen begin tc
haul in on the line. So powerful is the
suction of that fish that a hundred
pound turtle or shark can be pulled
through the water and lifted into the
boat.
There is simply no let up to the fish
after it has once attached itself to a
surface except to tear its body to
pieces. If it attaches itself to a small
worthless fish it is thrown overheard
for another catch. 1t it brings up a
particularly large and valuable fish OF
turtle, the fishermen reward it with an
extra allowance of food. In this way
the remoras learns to discriminate be-
tween the valuable and worthless fish
in a marvellous fashion.
Generally only one successful hau
can be made day with single remora
and if the fisherman is going to stay
out all day he will take several trained
sea falcons with him. Each one must
be confined in separate barrel of wa
ter as two put in the same tank would
fight for the food given them

SPORT WITH SEA FALCONS.
Natives of Porto Rico Use Trained
Remoras for Fishing.

Porto Rico has devised new method
of fishing that will prove interesting to
sportsmen The fishermen in many To-
calities are using trained remoras for
fishing. These queer creatures are reg
ular falcons of the sea, and their cap
tors use them very much the same as
| falcons were used in the middle cen
turtles. They are fierce, swift creatures
that can make better time than any
other fish in the southern waters, and
they are quite plentiful around Porto
Rico.
| Their bodies are eel-shaped, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Times, but with
a peculiar head over which a skin like
a bag is drawn. This baggy skin is
drawn up tight to the body at will, SO
that it offers no resistance to the water
when swimming, and it can be spread
out so that it makes wide, fiat sur
face. This surface is full of little suck
ers, which enable the fish to stick to an
object with the tenacity of bulldog.
The nature of the remora is to attach
| Itself to hard, fiat surfaces to secure its
food. 1t has learned that by attaching
| itself to large fishes, just near the
mouth, it can pick up a good living
without making any exertion. When a
shark secures its prey the parasitic re-
| mora secures all the small pieces be-
fore they can be gobbled up by its host
When it once attaches itself to the
shark or whale it cannot be loosened
by the big creature, and it steals a ride
| through the water until it is ready to
seek another host. In it's wild life in
the sea the sharks avoid it's presence
and seek to kill it whenever the two
come together, but the remora is too
quick for its antagonist and is rarely
caught.
The remora is frequently found four
and five feet in length, and is of great
service to the native fishermen. They
are caught by the Porto Ricans in va
| rious ways. Sometimes they will at
| tach themselves to the bottom of small
boats, and by dropping overheard a
| little food for them they can be induced
| to remain there until the boat reaches
shoal water Then the fishermen sud-
denly jump into the water and turn the
! boat over on its side, and before the
| fish can detach itself they grab ii.
| When it finds itself caught the remora
refuses to yield up its hold on the bot
tom of the boat, and no amount of pull
| ing can break its hold when jerked
straight up. But the fishermen have
found that by a few side twists the
suckers can be lifted with ease.
! When taken off the bottom of the
| boat the captured fish is put into a
| tank of water, where it is fed and cared
| for. In time 1t learns not to be afraid
of it's captors. But it must go through
a serious ordeal that tries it's friendship
| to a degree A small iron ring il
| fastened into it's tail near the end.
This is painful, but not serious, oper-

a NICE PLAN SPOILED.
Story That Charles G. Bancroft Had
Prepared for Stiff Campaign.

Clinton, Sept. 2S.-One of the stories
of the campaign is that in the event of
Gen. Curtis Guilds nomination to be
lieutenant governor, his manager in
the state, Charles G. Bancroft intended
to run for congress, Bancroft, with
the assistance of Gen. Guild, expected
to have little difficulty in turning down
George w Weymouth of Fitchburg.
Now the shoe is on the other foot Mr..
Bancroft has established his home in
Natick and is in the district Naturally
there is weeping and gnashing of teeth
among the large Guild following here.
Mr. Bancroft managed his campaign so
cleverly that there We're not a dozen
people in town but believed Guild has a
certainty.
Today the little band of Bates men
are smiling. There is no doubt but that
the town wanted to be in the vietor's
column, on account Of the struggle it is
conducting with the metropolitan water
board.
