CAN'T CORNER SEA FOOD.
a Fulton Market Man Explains Why
There Can Be No Combine.

New York, Sept 20.-Eugene S. Black
ford, of Fulton market, interviewed con-
corning the report from Minneapolis to
the effect that an organization has been
formed to control sea food, said among
other things:
Il don't think it possible, however, to
control the market for sea food in gen
eral, because it is too large. No single
organization could ever hope to control
the entire output of the whole seaboard
of the United States. If this sea food
company had limited itself to one or two
kinds of fish it's enterprise might not
seem so impractical, because it is fire.
quently possible to control the catch of
a single kind of fish. This has largely
been done in the case of halibut, for ex-
ample.
1.-The great difficulty that this COM
pany will have to contend with is the
extent of the field it has apparently pro-
posed to cover. The fish trade is differ
ent from other trades, in that its stock
is so extremely perishable Fish cannot
be .cornered. You cannot put fish on
your shelf and wait until people are
willing to pay your price, but you must
sell and sell at once. The element of
'cornering' which is generally the means
of such an organization as the Sea Food
company to attain its end, is thus inn
possible. Indeed, I fail to see how the
company hopes to succeed"
The Howard Searles and H. s. SearIes
mentioned in the dispatches are not
known in Fulton market.

SHOT At FATHER.
Bullet Misses Object But Hits
Harry Hart.

Charles Hoffman, proprietor of the
Hoffman House at the corner of First
and Adams streets. had fight with his
two sons, Louis and John, Wednesday
afternoon with the result that Louis
received a severe cut in the left arm and
Harry Hart. an innocent person. got a
bullet wound in the left leg.
It appears that Mr. Hoffman is in the
habit of running things with a high
hand when ne takes the notion and yes
terday the notion seemed to strike him.
The boys undertook to make their father
behave himself and he objected to their
interference, using as an argument a.
razor with which he cut Louis. The boy
drew revolver to protect himself and
fired three times at his father, none of
bullets struck Hart, who was unloading
some goods from his wagon half a block
away, and passed through his leg, caus-
ing a very painful, but not a serious
wound. He was taken to his home at
1904 North Van Buren, street where his
wound was dressed and it was found
that the ball had passed between the
bones without injuring them
Officer Frank Hendricks, who lives
near the Hoffman place, heard the shots
and at once went to the house and ar
rested all the fighters. Hoffman gave
cash security bond of 500 and the boys

already familiar with it. When Pop
Gregory XIII. reformed the Julian
calendar, he found that the legal year
was ten days behind the solar year.
so he ordered that the day after oct. J.
1882, should be Oct. IL And to pre-
vent the legal year getting so far be
hind the solar year again, he ordered.
lurther. that thereafter the centurial
years which could not be divided by
400 should not be leap years. That il.
we borrow from the future eleven
minutes each year for ninety-nine
years, and rather more than nav them
PACK IN three centural years by hay-
ihs no leap years, and on the fourth
eehturial year even matters up again

ing ana paying back. under Pona
"resorys rule, are 50 well balanced

elapsed, the legal year will be one da<,
