New York, March 4.-Spurred on by the

ANGLING FOR SEA GULLS.
Great Birds From the North Caught
With n Hook,

SEA Isle, y. j.. March AFTER the bliz-
zard had heaped snow and ice ten and
twelve feet high on the meadows and
beaches of Cape May county, thousands of
big white and gray winter guils made their
appearance along the shore. They had
evidently been blown hither by the winds
that tore along the coast for four days.
They came, no doubt, from the northern
New England coast, many hundred of miles
away. Their appearance has recalled TO
many of the residents the fact that only
once before in the last quarter of CEN
tury have these handsome sea birds been
so plentiful. That was during the winter
of 1892, when immense flocks of gulls came
from the northland and for two months
used the marshes of Cape May as feed
ing ground.
The gray gull. called the Iceland gull is
the most graceful and strongest in flight
of the gull family. The birds are very shy,
and so hard of approach that the gunner
who shoots one is considered lucky They
are much sought after, as they make hand
some ornaments once they receive the at
tention of an expert taXidermist The last
time they appeared hereabouts many eff
forts were made TO trap them, but not
bird was taken in that way. 1t remained
for Capt. Samuel Shick, of Sea Isle City
to discover a way of catching them. He
fished for his gulls. Rigging up dozen
stout lines. each twelve feet long, attached
to which were medium-siZed hooks, he
waited until the gulls had left their favor
ite feeding ground on the meadows half
mile from his home. Captain Shick had
studied the habits of the gulls and had OBJ
served that each afternoon the birds took
flight and went far out TO sea, where they
spent the night. Batting his hooks with
pieces of CLANS the captain reached the
spot frequented by the birds an hour before
dark. Selecting a suitable place. he drove
a stout stake into the ground and to it
fastened his lines.
At daylight the next morning, when he
walked out upon the veranda, he saw hun
dreds of gulls flying wildly about Eight
of the birds had been caught and the
others didn't know what to make of it.
The captive gulls showed fight, and with
their powerful beaks and long, sharp claws,
presented rather formidable front 1t
did not take the captain long to ascertain
what damage the monster birds were ca
pable of doing. for a water spaniel. a most
expert retriever, which accompanied him,
attacked one of the BIRDS and after a bat
tie of several minutes retired TO safe
distance with badly lacerated nose, head
and ears
Captain Shick finally gathered in the
birds with a long-handled shrimp net The
largest of the gulls measured fully five
feet six inches from tip to tip of wings.
The handsomest pair OF the lot found their
way into a large cage at the Geological
Gardens in Philadelphia and at last ac-
counts were alive and active. ss..tse

Denton, Nd, March 4.-The loss of prop

beginning of the year and invested his all

goods and furniture AS he was without
insurance, his loss is complete.
The ladies of Denton held a supper last
night, which will probably realize si00 for
the benefit of the sufferers by the fire who
are most needy. Much of Thursday was

What Became of the EDITORIAL.

(From the New Orleans Times -DemOcrat.)
An old newspaper man tells story
about Col. j. F. Barton. The colonel was
Southern man; he died in Alabama in
'97, and dozen years ago he was famous
throughout the Middle West as an editorial
writer of great power and versatility. The
unusual thing about him was that his nor
NAL penmanship looked almost like copper
plata beautiful flowing script, but let
him get excited or hurried and it double
discounts the chicken tracks on Cleopa
tra's needle. There used to be a funny
story about him, current among printers
One night according to the yarn. a tramp
printer drifted into a Western Office where
the colonel was in charge, and applied for
job The foreman put him to work, and
he pegged along all right until just before
the hour for going to press, when Barton
sent in a hurry-up editorial based on late
news telegram. Nearly all the printers
had left, so the new man got piece of the
copy page from about the middle. He
carried it to his case, looked at it, frown-
ingly, turned it upside down, looked at it
again, and finally put it in position before
him and began to snatch up type. Read
that in your sticks.' yelled the foreman
we amt got time for proofs,' And when
the new man carried his matter over it
was dumped into the forms without further
ceremony. What he had set up ran about
like this: The miscreant who wrote the
copy / have before me is responsible for
my fate. No human being can read it. He
cannot read it. himself. Tonight / shall
Jump a freight, and as / am somewhat
shaky from recent DRINKS, will probably
fall off and be killed. My blood be on his
head, This remarkable paragraph, appear
ing without rhyme or reason in the middle
of Barton's brilliant editorial, astonished
the readers of the paper next morning.
When the colonel recovered himself suffi-
ciently to rush down to the Office the tramp
