QUEER FISHING IN JAMAICA.
You Pound on the boat with Il Club
mud They Lumn Abnnrd.

A gentleman who had returned from
| Kingston Jamaica, tells how they catch
| red snappers" All you need in the way Of
| tackle is a club, with which you beat a
| tattoo on the side OF your boat. This seems
! TO charm the fish so that they leave their
| native element and jump aboard in
| schools, almost swapping the boat some
times Here is an account:
II have just returned from Kingston,
jamaica" said he, where | saw many in
teresting things, chief among them--to an
ardent fisherman like myself-being the
method of taking the red snapper. a large
fish common to the waters around that
island. Soon after my arrival l heard how
the natives caught these fish by knocking
on the sides of their boats with clubs,
which seemed either to attract or alarm
the fish so much that they jumped out Of
the water in all directions and many fell
into the boat.
In order to prove the truth or falseness
of the account to my own satisfaction /
made arrangements with one of the ma
tive fishermen TO take me with him on
one of his midnight excursions. all the
fishing there being done at night on ac-
count of the heat.
THE moon was high when we started
for the fishing grounds. couple of miles
outside Kingston harbor. AS 500 as
we got there my boatman ceased
rowing and peered round for signs of the

"One big fellow struck me in the chest

school had passed on and the flight WAS

had fallen on board. They were large
fish, resembling sea bass, except in color,

During the night we ran into several
more schools, and the same performance
was repeated, excepting that | kept my

Ex-Gov. Frank NJ Brown, Of Maryland
now in this city, told some political friends
the other day how sectional feeling is dy-
ing away In the South. He said
There still Is and there will be for
long time to come, the man who is 'un-
reconstructed and whose spirit is so well
described In a poem that recently went
the rounds of the press. one verse was
as folders:

story goes, saw a wooden-legged Union
veteran who had lost an arm. a nose. and
an ear, begging for aims in Washington
recently, and stopped to contemplate him.
You got them wounds fghtin' ag'in the

81 did, was the answer. Il fought all

THE Southerner drew a dollar from his
pocket and put 1t In the hat. Said he: 4

side. an you're the first Yankee son-of-a-
gun that ever saw carved up just to suit
my taste
You know there must be some of that
spirit left. and viii be till al the South
erners who lost everything in the war
have died. But the war with Spain did a
great deal to break down the lines be-
tween the sections The manner in which
the North tried to steal Fitzhugh Lee and
Gen. Joe Wheeler and make Yankees of

the return of complete good feeling. he

Newspaper men may know a whole lot.
ard may be right in what they say of
things In general but when 1t comes to
the subject CT chorus girl think they
are about as far away from the truth Of
things as the sky IS from the ground
The speaker was one of the dancing d.
whites who helped make popular the
vaudeville farce. "Tho Rogers Brot hers in
Wall Street" She is a Chicago girl, and
has been here for a week or more In at
tendance upon a sick mother. She Is as
bright as a cambria needle and has n
mind of her own.
Now, It's this way with me-" she went
on. 'Td rather people made fun OF me
than that they felt sorry for me. When
people make fad of feeling sorry for
other people they call themselves philan-
thropists, don't they?"
That's about right" admitted the news
paper man.
Sure. and these philanthropists need
the chorus girl in the charity business
But the chorus girl doesn't need them and
she's tired OF 'Lo the poor chorus giriv
racket How much do you suppose | earn,
anyhow"
Ten dollars a week"
Now, there 1t is. | earn SIS a week
The average wages of a chorus girl run
from SIS to $50 on the stage a girl makes
more money by far than in other work.

EFFECT OF ADOPTION OF COUNCIL

move Tint Concerns Property own
ers In the Residence Districts
six-Inch Mains to lie the Mini
mum and Owners to Pay for Them

A proposition before the city council TO
pass an ordinance providing that abuttng
property owners must pay all the expense
OF putting In water mains, and increasing
the minimum size OF mains to six inches
diameter Il considered one OF great import
ance to the water consumers OF Seattle.
The matter was presented to the council
IN the report OF the IRE and water COM
mittee Monday night. Petitions for the lay
ing OF mains In Yesler way, Bellevue ave
nue., Harvard avenue Mercer street and
blanchard street were referred to that COM
mittee for investigation. The committee
reported as follows:
THE committee begs to recommend that
said petitions be rejected. and that In the
future all petitions for two~inch mains, II
granted. be at the entire cost Of the rcii-
TONERS. without rebate on water rates: that
N the future the minimum size OF mains
laid shall be six inches or more except
In great emergencies whea a smailer-siLed
main may be laid We also recommend
that the unit system Of local assessment
be applied 10 water mains"
The principal reason assigned for this
departure Is that two4inch mains are en-
tirely inadequate for the growing needs Of
the city. or the liz miles OF mains in Sc
attic thirty-eight are of two inches or
smaller diameter. They cannot be attached
To hydrants. and are therefore useless Tor
fire protection, and on account OF their
small SIZE they are subject to speedy de-
sfructlon by rust. Six-iHeh mains, on the
contrary, are held TO be ample for fire
purposes, and at the same time 10 carry
sufficient water for all uses in some of the
prominent residence districts.
Most Of the two-inch mains are IN the
hill districts OF the city, and are sad not
10 carry sufficient water for irrigatIng
more than two or three lawns. besides sIp-
plying few houses, and leaving them ex-
posed 20 all the dangers OF fire.
The custom of the city's bearing half the
expense of establishing water mains is not
TO be IN existence any longer than II takes
for the preparation and adoption OF an ord-
nance " the present plans OF the council
committee are carried out. II has been
usual heretofore for property owners to pay
the total cost OF putting In two-nch mains,
ami then receive rebates OF half the amount
ir their water rates. This practice Is to he
followed no longer. In the event OF the
councils authorizing the laying OF mains

power 20 Law water mains without the con-
sent OF property owners, whenever such

(so-called)- republic. He ought to know
that England while monarchy in form is
a republic in fact. He ought to know the
doctrine of divine right" was fought out
upon English battle fields and exploded In
English parliaments long before he was born
and is no more believed in by Engllshmen
and the people in general OF the British en-
pire than by the people of this country. He
ought to know England is ruled by the
house Of commons, which is based upon
practically universal manhood suffrage in
the British isles; and that under the British
constitution the queen and cabinet have
less, and truth exercise less, governing
power than the president or the executive
branch OF our own government. In short
Mr.. Bryan ought TO know, and probably
does know, that the kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland Is in reality more
nearly a democracy than any other country
Of any considerable size or consequence.
Monarch against republic! he exclaims.
Mr.. Bryan tuggles with names. But fair,
intelligent men viii look to the substance
CT things and not be moved by epitnets
and eloquence. On the contrary. Republic
ans, like many who are not Of that party,
are divided upon the right or the wrong of
the Boer war, and until they obtain more
light upon this subject than Mr.. Bryan at
present appears able to give them will
probably remain so divided.
While this TRADE against England and his
artful references to the Boer war may gain
or keep him Fenian and German votes, of
which the former from prejudice and the
latter from racial interest may be expected
TO side with the Boer cause, intelligent
Americans ought not to be deceived, and
certainly, after Mr. Bryan's open insult,
when I'm a recent speech ''he prayed God
the British might never reach Ladysmltn, T"
an extraordinary occasion must arise before
any of the we'll nigh innumerable self-re-
specting naturalized American Br.tishers

Why Democrats Grumble.
Salt Lake Tribune.

Salt Lake Tribune.
The Democrats grumble because times
are too good and prices of products too
high; they say they would have things
different If they Were intrusted with
power And there is no doubt in the
world about it; they would change things
in the twinkling of an eye to ruin and de-
vastation. There is no joke good to
them as the joke that was told in grim
earnest after the Democrats elected
Cleveland and everything went to smash;
when starving workingmen applied for
work to get something to eat, they were
told to eat the ROSTERS they had paraded
on their hats
