FIsHERMEN's FRIEND.
Preservation Which Reduces Decay Of
Nets. Seins, Ropes and Can
vas Ninety Per cent.

When to the hazard Of losing his life
and property through the perils Of the
sea. to which the Columbia river fish
erman is constantly exposed, Is ad-
ded the rapid decay of his nets, seins,
tarpaulines, canvas, ETC., from mildew
ard decay, it may safely be said Of
linn that his lot is not happy one"
Fortunately the deterioration OF
these articles can be arrested and con-
seTuent losses reduced to a minimum.
Many preservatives have been tried
in the past but it remained for Ger
man chemist with practical ideas to
discover the boon so earnestly sought.
So far as experience goes, as shown
by the testimonials Of representative
fishermen from the fishing grounds Of
Europe and America, the only sure
preparation for the preservation Of
nets. seins, tarpaulins and ropes from
the ravages of alternate land and wa
ter exposure is the celebrated German
discovery Ayenarius Carbolineum. This
remarkable compound renders rot and
decay impossible, through It's antisep
tic qualities, and tackle treated re-
quires replacement only when its use
fulaess is impaired by actual wear
and tear. This represents a saving to
the fishermen Of ninety per cent Of their
loss.
Avenarius Carbolineum renders rope
canvas, etc, pliable and prevents freez-
ing or stiffening in the severest wealth
er, thus guarding the property Of
the Columbia river fishermen not only

EruptlonS of Vesuvlus.

Naples, May 9.-The activity
of Vesuvius is becoming more
formidable and the observatory
officials announce that the seis
mic instruments are extremely
agitated. A thick column of
smoke is rising from the crater
and the earth shocks are vio-
lent.
The cable car service up Mt.
Vesuvius has been suspended in
consequence Of the eruption
Four Englishmen attempted to
ascend the mountain on foot,
and ,eluding the vigilance of the
carbineers, who form a Gordon
at a height beyond which the
ascent is considered unsafe,
they approached the summit.
Suddenly the volcano belched
forth a stream Of lava and large
stones, which descended upon
5he foolhardy tourists, who were
rescued in a terribly bruised
and battered condition and re-
moved to the hospital.

A CARD.


Sheriff, | would respectfully ask
you to do me the kindness to
publish this communication in
the columns of your valuable
paper; for the reason that it
will be impossible for me to
make a house to house canvass
during the campaign. 1t is
known to the people of Lancas-
ter that | have served my coun-
ty as sheriff for q number of
years, and my State as U. S.
Marshal for one term. 1t now
remains with my fellow citizens
to say whether or not | have
been true and faithful in the
discharge of my official duties
in the past. Should they con-
clude that | have been, and
choose to favor me with an cleo
ton to the Office of sheriff again,
| promise with the help of a
kind Providence to render as
faithful service in the future as
| endeayored to perform when |
was their servant in the past !;
and shall always be guided by
that golden rule "Do unto
others as | would wish them to
do unto me-" Some would
feign persuade my friends to
believe that I committed an
offense by resigning the sheriff's
office and accepting the U. S.
Marshal's office, which was pro-
cured for me by strong friends
in this county and State-after
persistent persuasion to allow
my name to be used for said
office. In this matter / did only
what my friends urged me to do :;
and | am confident that no one
can say truthfully that | have
ever, in any instance, been dis
loyal to those who have so kind
ly given me their confidence
and support. If any one has
suffered any detriment whatever
by the course Of my friends, in
promoting me to the office of U.
S. Marshall, | have never yet
heard Of it.
While l have been highly
honored by my good friends of
this county and State, for which
| shall ever feel very grateful, |
am nevertheless a poor man to-
day. Nor am | at all ashamed
of my poverty for it is no dis
grace to be poor if honest, any
more than it is to be rich, if
riches be honestly obtained. If
| had been a cOvetous man, as
some would like to have my
friends believe, | would have
been independent today, so far
as this worlds goods are con-
cerned and the very fact that |
am still a poor man refutes
the insinuations of those who
maiign me.
All of these matters, how
ever, shall leave to the good
people of Lancaster county to
determine ; and let them say
whether or not / have ever
turned a deaf ear to cries for
help, or have ever been blind to
the needs of poor struggling
humanity, when it was in my
power to relieve want or suffer-
ing.
The question of selecting q
sheriff for the next four years is
before the voters and with con-
tidence in their judgment l shall
await their decision at the pri-
mary, as TO achO shall serve them,
and pledge myself to abide by
the result of their ballot.
Very respectfully,
J. p. HUNTER.

pilkerton Won the Race.

AT one of the regattas of the Nation
al Association of American Oarsmen
during the early nineties James Pilker-
ton, for many years the champion soul
Ter Of America, was matched to row
double against another team. He and
his mate were the champions, and the
general belief was that they would win
without effort. But the night before
the regatta public opinion suddenly
and mysteriously changed. Mr. Pill
kerton knew that this was not caused
by any new development of strength
in his opponent or any loss of skill on
his own part. After making some quiet
inquiries he discovered that there was
talk of his rowing mate having been
bought up by the other side and of an
arrangement to throw the race.
He didn't say anything about his sus-
picions, but when the two men We're
seated in the shell and were we'll out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
Look her. you blooming cutthroat!
You've got to swim, drown or win this
race! You know mel" He won.-Sat-

silva AND DEW.
The Fearful Devil of the Hindoos
and His Principal Wife.

The Fearful Devil of the HindOOs
and His Principal Wife.
silva is both typical Of destruction
and of reproduction. But the latter at
tribute was doubtless later addition
to the sum of his qualities. The orig
inal conception of this deity was that
of power delighting in destruction,
in the achievement of physical evil and
wrong and in hurting death and devas-
tation upon the people and their land.
He is represented in the sacred books
of the Hindoos as ''the terrible destroy
er," 1.-THE one who delights in the de-
structon of men," But in all this there
is no whisper as yet of any moral quail
tiles of evil. The conception is entirely
one of physical power, used with the
utmost malevolence and injustice
against men.
Along with his principal wife, who
is variously called Dew, Durga, Una
and Kali, he is portrayed as the incar-
nation of physical evil, wrong, injus-
tice or misfortune. In the "Puranas"
silva is described as wandering about
surrounded by ghosts and COLLINS, in
ebriated, naked and with disheveled
hair, covered with the ashes of fu-
neral pile. ornamented with human
skulls and bones, sometimes laughing
and sometimes crying. Devi, his con-
sort, is represented with hideous and
terrible countenance streaming with
blood, encircled with snakes, hung
round with skulls and human heads
and in all respects resembling a fury
rather than goddess The only pleas
ure which silva and Dew feel is when
their affairs are drenched with blood.
