OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE.
Submarine Boats win Make the Blvalvs
 Moro Accessible.


 The submarine boat will revolution ize the oyster industry When in Ches- apeake bay cruising the old Argonaut frequently settled down on oyster beds and, with the permission of the owners, procured all the oysters desired by reaching down through the sea door. The new Argonaut can employ this method of gathering oysters, rising to the surface when her diving-room is full, or send out divers, who can place the oysters collected in buckets or re- ceptacles, which those on the surface ean haul up. When bays and rivers are fsezen over and oystermen cannot r = trade the Argonaut can go
 ae ice. Fishing can also be e-9isd on easily on the bottom with object they evidently consider whale, ard swim from every direction toward the glare of the electric lights shining through the ports. Sponge fishing will engage the attention of the first suc- eessful submarine voyagers. Good sponges are becoming dearer, for the supply in shallow water is running short. The divers cannot go deeper than twenty-five feet. and the best sponges are found in deep water. To this deep water the Argonaut will go and, gathering the finest sponges, put them on the market at price no great CT than that paid for the common va rieties. She will also try pearl fishing. now conducted at an enormous expense of life, for by strange freak of na- ture pearl oysters are generally found in localities where bad weather pre- vails and hurricanes and typhoons are frequent. These the Argonaut, under the water, need not fear, and her div CTS, insead of gathering up the oysters by the single handful, can gather them by the bushel.-Lippineott'

Making Ducks Lay Black Eggs.

According to writer in a French scientific paper, ducks fed on aeorns, which they will eat ravenously, rot unfrequenSIy lay black eggs. The rea- son is that their eggshell is naturally rich in iron. and this combines with the tannin in the acorn to produce q good fast black. The same paper states that if fowls are fed on boiled lobster shells they will lay bright rcd eggs.

Mako an erestfng Fino.

Some chalk digsers have made an interesting find of a skeleton at Swans eombe, Kent. England. It was that of short, very thick-sst man. and it is thought he was probably : Roman. A careful search was made for coins CT weapons. or anything that could give clue to the period or nationality of the skeleton. but nothing was found except some fiints, rudely shaped with some kind of splitting or chipping im- plement. The skeleton must have been where it was found for many hundreds of years. It was in the heart of chalk hill which had never been exea- yated before.

THE LONGEST STAIRWAY.
It Is in the Tower of the Philadelphia
 City Hall.

It Is In the Tower of the Philadelphia
 City Hall.
 A novel diversion is about to be in- stituted at the Philadelphia city hall Within a few weeks this noble pile, already distinguished as being the highest municipal building in the world, will contain, according to the Press, the highest continuous stair way in the world, and tourists who have hitherto boasted of their mus eular ability in climbing the stone steps of the Bunker Hill monument at Charlestown, the Washington monu- ment or the monument to Gen. Brock, near Queenstown, Ont, will tell their friends of their feat in ascending the 598 steps which lead from the seventh floor of the city hall of Philadelphia to the landing about the feet of Will liam Penn. Tower-climbing is one of the fads of tourists. Hitherto the Bunker Hill monument, with it's 400- odd stone steps, and the Washington monument. which has 8 few more, have represented the acme of oppor- seaAe% M eSoto Ol pl1y o1Cc1 SitIil oilC6 Ascent or descent of these steps has been boasted of, and though both so cramp the muscles of the leg that the climber for an hour afterward is hard ly able to walk upright, the distinction has the requited pain. The building commission, adds the Philadelphia Press, is pushing forward the work on the tower stairway, and within two months it is expected that it will be in readiness. for climbers. It will extend from the seventh to the sixteenth floor and will contain just 59S steps of iron arranged about square, central shaft, in which will run an electric elevator. To reach the tower stairway the climber may mount the 245 granite stairs in the hanging stairways at the northern end of the building. thus making total climb of 743 steps.

PEOPLE OF one ACCORD.
Union Republicans Confident Of
Ability to Defeat All
Opposition.
ADDICKS ON THE SITUATION
National Committeeman Says That
the Boilers Mistake When They
Think He Gauges Every
thing by the Sena-
torial Seat.

In an interview with a well known |
newspaper man that was published IN
the Baltimore Sun yesterday, National |
Committeeman j. Edward Addicks out
lined the Union Republican political
Sit uation.
1--WE are getting stronger all the time
and the boilers are growing weaker,
said the National Committeeman, smil-
ing. i do not for a moment imagine
that the Union Republican Convention
will pay any attention to the convention
of the boilers. Our people a,e all Of one
accord. There is not the slightest friction
in the Union Republican ranks. The
boilers think | gauge everything with a
view of obtaining seat in the United
States Senate, but they are mistaken.
None of the Union Republicans are
thinking about the United States Senate.
/ see the New Castle county boters'
committee had appointed comm; ttee to
confer with the Union Republican county
committee about common primaries in
this county. In my opinion this will be
useless. There will be no harmony in
patches. There must be straight ticket
from top to bottom, including candidates
for the Legislature, or there will be two
tickets from top to bottom. / am firm in
a belief that the Union Republican ticket
can win against all opposition, and whv
should we bother about small faction?
When they agree to any OF our fair
propositions we, the majority party,
will treat with them.
s'Their demand for this Governorship
is preposterous.
''The Union Republicans, think, will
nominate DR.. George w. Marshall, OF
Milford, for Governor; DIR. Caleb f. Lay
ton of Georgetown, Tor the long and
short terms n Congress, aud Water IL.
Hayes, of Wilmington, for Attorney
General. They will insist on these posi-.
4 ns.
election OF President Mckinley. This is
of more concern to me than the United
States Senatorship personally. The
election { Bryan would mean at least
two years of uncertainty and the bust
ness interests could not afford it,"
The National Committeeman was ask
ed if the Regulars agree to harmony
what place they would get on the State
ticket, but he said this had not been de
cided. He added that some OF the Reg
ulors would be nominated for places a
the Union Republican Convention anC
some of these nominees would be mel
who had been bitterly opposed to th'
Union Republicans. However, thi
phase of the question has not been def
nitely settled.
MI. Addicks ventured the opinion
that State Treasurer t. Fl. Ball woult
not be indorsed by the Union Conven
tion. He spoke in commentator Q
William S. HiIles of this city, who, a
the ratification meeting at Augustin
Pier, spoke earnestly in favor OF hai
mony and asked Republicans to get te
gether.'

SAULSBURY'S ASSUMPTION.

From the Georgetown Union Republican.
The Delawarean is mistaken. The Re.
publicans Of Delaware have no fear OF
Willard Salisbury as a political leader.
They simply object to his assumption,
that under his leadership, only, can the
credit of the State be maintained, and to
the stupendous impudence displayed in
his recent utterances. He casts the
t.first stone" being himself, what? 1t i
our judgment and desire that the pres,
ent campaign be one OF National and
State consideratioI.-one of issues and oi
principles, conducted by argument and
reason in a fair and manly way. But We
are ready to defend all forms of attacl'
fair or unfair, and do not propose t.
kindly submit to party villification with

There is more catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For II great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
Scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to he Il constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by r. j. Cheney,
< Co. Toledo, Ohio. is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. Ii is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to Il

tenn. They offer one hundred dollars for
