THRILLING FIGHT WITH a FIST
Monster Tuna Landed After q Contes
Lasting -Four Hours.

From the San Francisco Examiner
Professor Charles F. Holder, the
naturalist and author, describes how
he caught what he believe to be ths
largest tuna ever taken with rod and
reel 1t was early morning, outside oil
Avalon bay, Catalina island, when ne
got a strike which threw the heavy
flying fish bait which he was trolling
far up the line. "Then," says the pro-
lessor, ''the magnificent fish came
boiling along the surface, throwing the
foam high in the air, in manner that
has given some anglers here the DUCK
fever Fortunately 1 hooked the hsh'
and it's first rush took about 400 rect

reel, and had not the heavy brake

to reel in the slack, and when the flsh
reached within twenty feet OF the boat
it turned and was away again, taking
500 feet of the thread Of line. Again
I turned it, and again it came IN al
me. Turning once more, the fish dash
ed away, towing the heavy boat mile
out to sea at rapid rate. Finally 1
turned it, and, after a superb play on
the surface, circling the boat, it turned
toward us mile inshore, so near the
rocks that thought we should lose II
in the kelp. Here the fish fought me for
nearly three hours, rushing in and out,
plunging down into the blue channel,
circling around, darting away, and then
coming at me from unexpected points,
showing the most remarkable cunning

experience in rod and reel fishing. Al
$50 o'clock, after 1 had played the
tuna three hours, 1 turned it after one
of its rushes, when it gathered its en-
ergies and headed for Avalon, max

Coming Home to Itoost.

No one class of men worked
more industriously for the election
Of Mckinley and the success Of
tho single gold standard than the
commercial drummers. There were
some exceptions to the rule, but
those who did not work were eX-
captions. Early in the campaign
Hanna made an arrangement with
tho officers of the National Com
mercial Travlers Association to do
line of work i'll connection with
tho Republican committee. The
drummers had an excellent oppOr-
tunity for doing most effective
work and they used the opportuni-
ty to the utmost extent. They
frightened the country merchants
with spectre of "cheap money"
and represented that in the event
of the election of Bryan no credit
would be extended by wholesale
houses. Some drummers retailed
buCu IOI u5 llllS "ICn Viz illIliS
that they represented were support
ing Bryan.
But if ever any class of men have
had occasion to repent in "sack.
cloth and ashes" it has been the
drummers. Immediately after the
Inauguration of Mckinley the
drummers association asked for
some recognition and recited the
effective work that had been done
by them. This is how the ante
election deal between them and
Hanna became exposed. They
were turned down. Now, Hannu's
single gold standard administra-
ton has not only suppressed silver,
but seems to be tending largely in
the direction of abolishing drum
mers. A tobacco drummer stated
Il few days ago that he knew of 300
men who had been thrown out of
employment by one order of the to-
bacco trust.
The jolly and genial drummer
has had the right of way for long
time, but it now looks like the
hour of his tribulation hath como.

Vacation Time.

The vacation idea has become
fixed in the creed and practice of
tho American people The man of
millions and tho man of hundreds,
the manufacturer and the clerk, the
merchant and the cash boy, the
lawyer, tho preacher, tho artist and
the salesman, representatives of
every social grade and occupation
lock forward with eager anticipa-
ton to their summer holiday and
spend it as inclination or finance
dictates. Tho summer exodus from
THE country to Europe has become
enormous. The low steamship rates
have made a European tour within
the reach of tens of thousands,
whore before only few hundred
could afford to go. Summer hotels
have sprung up in almost number.
less quantities, and country homes
and seaside cottages are charac-
teristic of American life. The
scenes at the railroad stations an
nounce moro plainly than words
that the summer migration has be-
gun, trunks tower high on the ex-
press wagons.
The railroads have sent forth
their guide books showing tho pc
culiar advantages of trip to some
point on their respective lines and
tho newspapers are toeming with
the announcements of delightful
places to spend the summer. From
now until next fall the foot of the
American will leave its imprint up
on every highway of travel from
England to Egypt, from Atlanti3
City to Alaska, as he seeks new
scenes for Incorporation of body
and the relaxation of mind.

Peonle Not DeceiveG.

Thinking people are not deceived
by the lusty shouts the Republi-
can newspapers are sending up over
what they term the great prosper
ity that pervades the country. AS
yet, there is no general prosperity
abroad in the land. One has only
to get in among business men to as
certain this. Local conditions OK
list in some spots that are moro en-
oouraging than they have been for
several months, this is ell. 1t is
not general condition nor does 1T
apply to all people. 1t is due to
natural causes and not to any polit-
ical party nor is it affected by any
political policy. The people have
to live as they have lived in the
past. Some business will contin-
ne to be done, however dull the
times may be. When any particu-
lar line of products become exhaust
cd by the natural demands of the
people and III the due course OF
trade, the mills that mako those pro-
ducts will start up until the demand
is supplied. If it is because of the
Republican Administration why
has it not exercised its benifi-
cent powers sooner? The greater
number of mills stopped under the
same policies that exist to-day. If
these policies are to take credit for
starting them, it must also bear the
blame for having stopped them
The action of the Republican news
papers leads one to infer that they
are ready to go into compton fits
because it is possible for any mill
to run at all under q Republican
administration. The people ate
viotuals and wore clothes long be-
fore Mckinley was born. The
oarth revolved OH its axis years be-
foro the Republican party WAS
founded Business was brisk at
times prior to the conception of the
iniquity of the single gold standard
Yet every time farmer sells n bag
of potatoes some Republican news
paper is ready to claim that it is Il
special blessing made to order ty
the Republican party. That party
should have credit for everything
duo it, for it's credits are small at
best. But it should not take cred.
it for local results and natural coz.
ditions that exist and always have
existed under any policy and every
political party.-Charleston Gin.

No Ordinary Man.

nobler type of American man
hood exists in this country to-day
than is embodied in the parsonage
of VIM j. Bryan. Men may attack
him upon pretense of his opposi-
tion to imperialism, when, in fact,
those attacks are born of his steady
and unflinching adherence to the
great doctrine of bimetallism or the
"free coinage of silver" if you
please, but this young Nebraskan
occupies place in the hearts of the
plain, common people" of this
country which is entirely out of
the roach of all the shafts of malice
and hate which can be hurled
against him from any source.
The man who, at the age OF 36
years, can be made the leader of
the greatest political party in this
world, and who can receive the
practically unanimous nomination
of that party for the Presidency of
tho United States, is no ordinary
man" and those who denounce him
as such and attack his sincerity, by
that means only expose their ignor
unce or make public exhibition of
their vindictiveness and their
spleen. Bryan is nota man of ex-
pediency, nor is he of that fungus
growth which springs up in the
night time and fades away before
the rays of tho next days sun.
His strength has grown since 1896,
and oven many of his orstwhile
enemies are forced to admit it, AS
evidence of this, witness the fol-
lowing from the New Work World,
a puper which opposed him three
years ago:
"NTr. BrYan's speech at Topeka.
printed in the World yesterday,
justilies tho belief expressed in
these columns on Saturday that he
will improve the great and obvious
opportunity before him of leading
tho popular movements, broader
than party lines, stronger than
party spirit, far n radical change in
our government. The inspiration
of this strong and eloquent speech
was the struggle between Democra.
cy and plutocracy-botween Re.
publicanism and imperialism
which the arrogance and blindness
of the men in power have thrust
to the front as the dominating issue
for the coming campaign.
"Nlro Bryan's warming and his
appeal will not fall on needless
ears. And if Mr.. Bryan shall re.
move the upprehensio L of the Dom.
ocrats who distrusted him before
which his present course is calcu.
lated to do-he can win the sup.
port of enough moderate Republi.
cans on the issue of anti-monopoly
and anti-imperialism to win the
election, Great opportunities i'm.
