Likely to Accept.


BOSTON. July 14.-Curtis Guild, jr., yes
terday received telegram from Postmas-
ter General Smith rendering to him the
position Of First Assistant Postmaster
General. made vacant by the resignation
of Mr.. Heath.
In an interview he said: II have not
been a candidate for Mr.. Heath's position.
and no person has asked for it for ale.
Indeed. doubt very much whether it will
be possible for me to accept it. 1t is
very fattering compliment, as the posi-
ton is by no means n snecure.
"All can say is that the Postmaster
General has had the kindness to ask me
to consider the matter and l am consid-
ering it, There are very many business
reasons that make the acceptance OF any
Government position that involves aban-
dcning my private business almost impos-
sible."

THIS was my hrst Sight OF this part OF
the Potomac since the tangle OF underbrush
had been cleared away and the fine syca-
more trees trimmed. Now one may get a
wide view OF the river and islands. So fine
picture is a fitting end to this first moon
light ramble with my friend, The Model
This view. 1t should be borne in mind, can
only be half seen from the bridge. One must
walk hundred yards along the towpa: III
above the bridge to see it in its entirety.
This view is very fine by daylight and
charming at shutdown. but by moonlight no
words can convey an idea of its surpass-
Ing beauty. One cannot go there too otter.
for by either sunlight or moonlight It is
the most attractive landscape composition
to be found in or near the District.

A FISH STORY.

L am going to tell you a few
truths and untruths about fishing
for salt water fish off the coast Of
Mexico. One beauty Of fishing
there is, that no man can consci-
entiously lay his hand on his
heart and say what genus, species
or variety of fish he will get when
he goes fishing; nor can he deter
mine the size.
l remember one day being ap-
preached by an Englishman, who's
physician had ordered him south
for his nerves, he said: Il beg
pawdon sir, but could you tell me
where [ could catch a tarpon you
know" [ advised him to leave
"tarpon" alone and went off to
fish. had some heavy tackle and
rowed out and dropped my line
into 800 feet Of gulf stream, the
only result was fish seven inches
long, looking very much like a
baby in the first stage of the
measels. The poor fish having

FOURTH OF JULY.

The entertainment in chapel
hall on the Fourth consisted main
ly of musical selections. Warden
Reeve acted as master of cere-
monies, and before beginning the
program he made short address
to the men in regard to their past
and future department. His re-
marks were attentively listened to
and should awaken a keen interest
in every manly man in the insti-
tuition to so shape their conduct in
order to merit the rewards which
he mentioned.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill were again
with US and delightfully."- enter
tanned us, both in instrumental
and vocal selections. They are
both professional musicians. Mrs.
Hill is also a master Of 'coon"
songs. She sang several numbers
of the latter and was heartily ap-
plauded by the men. Mrs.
Graham's orchestra, from Still
water, was also present, which, in
Guiding our choir, contributed
greatly toward rounding off an ex-
ceptionally good program.
After the completion of exercises
in the chapel, the pris oners were
given lengthy outdoor holiday
in the park. Deputy Warden
Alexander lent considerable zest
to the outdoor exercises by getting
up foot races, sack races, etc.
Both the chapel and park were
tastely decorated with bunting
and flags.

line, and promptly got bite, but
the tarpon did not jump when
struck, either sleepy or absent
minded I guess, and even when I
and the niger hauled him in
hand over hand into the boat,
he never moved. I gave a yell of
triumph, and then the tarpon
woke up. His tactics were simple
but rapid. First he swatted the
niger across the face with his
tail, and the niger disappeared to
starboard ten feet from the boat.

utes we lay together in the bottom
of the boat, smuggling and slugged,
while the damaged niger swan
cautiously to the stern and peeped
over with his one unbunged, eye,
lodging the flying tail, splitting out
loose teeth and giving advice to
his boss.
It all ended in a capsize, and
the tarpon with fifty yards of good
line started for Vera Cruez and no
doubt reached there in two hours
if he kept up his gait. Doc.

No. 4342:-An anagram is the
formation of a new word, phrase

the element of sarcasm, surprise

No. 4559:-Copyright is the
exclusive right to multiply copies
Of writing or printed composition,
or of work Of art. Such rights
were claimed by authors before
the introduction of printing. After
the invention of printing, the right
to publish books became the sub
ject of licenses and patents. The
terms of copyright and the legal
questions bearing upon them was
so complex as to demand study in
special treatises. The first steps
to secure international copyright
to protect the works of artists and
authors was taken at Berne, Sep
TENDER, 1885. Prominence in the
proceedings was taken by repre-
sentatives from Great Britain,
France, Germany, Italy, Spain,
Netherlands, Sweden and Norway,
Switzerland, Tunis, Hayti and
Honduras. A draft of a conven-
ton was settled to secure in each
of these countries International
copyright; an Office of International
union for protection of literary
and artistic works was established
under the supervision of the Swiss
government. In Great Britain,
acts of Parliament were passed
successfully in 1874, 1852, 1875
and 1886, to secure to foreign
authors and artists the copyright
to their works, provided British
artists and authors were recipro-
cally protected in such foreign
countries, discretion was given to
their Majesty, by order of council,
to fix conditions of compliance.
In the United States an Inter-
national copyright act came into
force July LIST, 1891, securing
under certain conditions artistic
and literary copyright between
Great Britain and the United
States. One important condition
of the new act is it's requirement
that the work must be- printed in
the United States to secure the
advantage of International copy
right.

years from graduation necessitates

died of general debility on the


way up.
Coming in shore to where there
was about a yard of water and
throwing out some light tackle, |
hooked onto a submarine Internal
machine, which I never saw, for
he violently borrowed all my line
and two-thirds Of my rod within
four seconds after he struck.
The true sportsman likes to use
light tackle; it gives the fish a
fighting chance. But I have come
to the conclusion that down there
it's the angler who needs the fight
ing chance and nothing but a
steam derrick, hawser and an an
Choir for a hook can give it to him.
By this time I looked over to see
how the English dude was getting
along, and found he was ostensi-
bly, fishing for little whiting, but
had hooked fast to about six
square yards of devil ray, which
was doing it's best to climb into
the boat. The repairs to his con-
stitution were set back about six
months.
In point of looks they also vary.
Some of them would draw CRATE
full enthusiasm from a deIirium
tremens patient. One thing is
clear, nature never meant southern
fish for household pets. Take the
jew fish for instance, he averages
five feet in length, three in depth
and two and a half in thickness,
has a vil1ainous temper, a mouth
like an old-fashioned carpet bag,
and could, occasion arising, swal-
low a mule. I shall not attempt
to catalogue the fish Of the south
ern waters, the encyclopedia says
there are 1,641 species, but here
are few.
Monarch of them all is the tar
pom, more of him later. Then
there is the king fish, he is known
as the ''scomberomorus regalus,"
by the criminal authorities; but [
think they are prejudiced.. He is
a great fighter. The amber fish,
they have his picture in the ma
tional rogues gallery and have
labeled it ''seriola punctatus," but
1 think it's a case of libel. Then
there is the bone fish; he has been
called 'lagodon rhomboides'' in
open court and did not resent it.
He never swims, but telegraphs
himself from place to place.
There are many others, but [
will relate to you how I tried to
capture my first tarpon. I secured
a boat, and a niger whom I after

In freedoms cause.
YOkes and chains they burst with might
Hireling hordes they put to fight,
Firmly stood for human right,
And righteous laws.
When the bloody strife was done,
Eagles screech'd for victory won;
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Turn the sword, to plowshare bright.
Turn the glebe, with hopeful might.

Tyranny has had its day.

Nor bend the knee.
We, the people, do declare;
Each shall have the Nations care,
From sea, to sea.
Church and state shall severd be;
Secular our pOlity,
Liberty! Equality
