HOW STURGEON IS CAPTURED.

TO fish whiie mounted on the back
of a horse probably would be beyond
the capacity of gentle Izaak Walton of
delightful memory, yet that is the way
sturgeon is captured in the frozen riv-
ers of the Ural mountains. Russian
Cossacks fish in large bands They
gallop along until they reach the point
in the river where the current has it's
swiftest flight. There they dismount
and cut into the ice until they have
cleared a small pool of water which
extends across the rapid current al
most from one bank of the river to the
other. A net is then sunk to the bot
tom of the stream and stretched across
it at the open pool SO that not sin
gle fish can swim beyond its meshes.
Then the horses are mounted and the
Cossacks turn back anu ride along the
edge of the river for about four or five
miles. Then the band wheels about
and gallops rapidly along the ice-cov
cred stream, making picture that
would delight a Schreyer or Fromen-
tin. The loud cannonade caused by
the beating of the horses hoofs on the
surface of the ice terrifes the sturgeon
and they swim quickly in advance of
their pursuers, tumbling finally in
swarms into the net that waits their
capture.

A HAVEMEYER ROMANCE.
Death of Thomas Reveals Secret That
He Was Married.

New York, May 13.-The recent
death of Thomas j. Havemeyer, broth
err of Henry o. Havemeyer, president of
the sugar trust, brought to light a new
romance in the wealthy but unhappy
Havemeyer family. Thomas j. Have
meyer was regarded as a confirmed
bachelor, but he hau wife at 154 West
Forty-sixth street, where he lived for
five years with her. Her maiden name
was Anna M. Wright.
Through James w. Ridgeway, form
er district attorney of Kings county,
she has applied to Henry o. Havemeyer
for her dover rights in the estate.
FOR fifteen years this woman has
kept her secret from all except her i'm
mediate family.
On Sept. 8, 1884, Thomas j. Have
meyer succeeded in inducing her
secretly to become his wife.
Anna took up her residence four or
remainder of her family at 154 West
Forty-sixth street. She and her family
still live there. About one-half the
time Mr.. Hayemeyer lived there also.
When about two years ago Theodore
A. Havemeyer died, r. j. Havemeyer
thought the time of publicly acknowl-
edging his wife was near at hand and
even discussed it with her.
Mr.. Havemeyer regularly sent his
wife a large check for her support.
During his last illness Mr.. Havemeyer
was in his bachelor apartments. He
sent frequent messages to his wife and
she came to see him. On April Mr..
Havemeyer died, leaving an estate of
$1,500,000.

INGENIOUS TOBACCO MACHINE.

Many tobacco men have visited the
Suffer tobacco warehouse here to see
the Dahl sizing machine operate.
This Qevice consists of series of par
allel belts of different lengths running
over rollers. The tobacco is fed into
the machine cross ways and is carried
along until it is released by the belt
when they drop into receptacle be-
low. The shorter belts first release
the short leaves, while the longer are
held by the tips and carried on by the
longer belts. The machine makes five
grades or sizes and will certainly do
what is claimed for it in separating
the different lengths. The device is
somewhat crude as yet but the opiu-
ion of the tobacco men is that some
thing practical will come out of the in
ventiou.

HEIR is MISSING.
Former University Student Who Took
Trip with GAINESVILLE Companion.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, May 13.-Frank
Glass, a former student at the state
university at Madison, whose home is
in Minneapolis, is at present missing
and relatives fear that something of
serious nature has happened to him.
Last August Glass, accompanied by
fellow student, Roy Sanborn of James
Vile, left this city in rowboat MAX
ing a several days trip to St Louis by
water. After visiting in st. Louis for
several days the young men parted
and Sanborn returned home alone, as
Glass stated that he wanted to remain
longer. From that day toS this moth
ing has been heard of Glass. He should
have returned to the state university
last fall and finished course, but the
state university officials say that they
have never heard from him. Since
leaving for st. Louis his stepfather
has died, leaving young Glass con-
siderable money. Madison attorneys
are now endeavoring to locate him.
Relatives say they fear that he is dead
or has entered the army.

MOTHERHOOD AS A PROFESSION.
Lack of Proper Training for 1t the
Cause of Illness Among Children.

Ideal motherhood is the work not
of instinct, but of enlightened knowl-
edge conscientiously acquired and
carefully digested," writes Helen Wat
terson Moody, of The True Meaning
of Motherhood, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. IF maternity Is an instinct
motherhood is a profession; and yet
many a girl undertakes it with less
understanding of it's duties and less
anxiety for their discharge than she
gives to the selection of the tailor
who is to make her new gowns, or the
costumes of the bridesmaids in her
wedding procession. 1t is quite the
fashion, nowadays, in well-to-do faml-
lies, to provide the daughters with
some special training by means of
which they could earn their own
bread and butter If the family for
tunes should suddenly fail. 1t is held
to be altogether wise and proper to
educate a daughter for possible
profession in remote contingency,
yet while nineteen out of twenty of
our girls marry and become mothers,
no training whatever for the real
profession Of their lives is thought to
be necessary. Any practcing ply
sician will tell you that four-ffths
of the illness among children could
be avoided by proper knowledge and
car, on the part of the mothers, and
yet our girls feel that they must take
up college settlement work, and sclen-
tific whist and the banjo to get
little excitement into their lack-lustre
lives until the great excitement of
marriage comes"

1869, when he went to New York to
take charge of the estate of Henry
Keep, whose widow was Mrs. Flowers
sister. In 1870 he formed the firm OF
Benedict, Flower g. Co. Two years
later he organized the banking firm of
Flow & Co., which has since been a
power in Wall street. Flowe" was al
ways a democrat. In the early 70's he
helped Samuel j. Tilden develop the ia
nous organization which exposed
Tweed, and enjoyed many other tri-
umphs. In 1881 he defeated Waldorf
Astor for congress after a hot cam
paign. He was elected governor of
the state in 1891. Flower took up the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit less than two
years ago, and bought 100000 worth of
stock. At yesterdays market price

founders of the Federal Steel trust.
Good authorities estimate that Flow
