In an interview with Hon. George ".
Bowers. the United States Fish Comnlis-
sioner Monday before he returned
TO Washington on tram No. 8. alter, as
usual. spending sunday with bis family At
bis beautiful Nlartlns0urg residence, The
question Of where the new hsh hatchery
10 be established in West Virgin a. would
likely be located. was preached 70 him.
The Fish Commissioner reply was: II
can tell YOU better in about a month. He
stated that he had already received about
twenty-five offers Of sites for the hatchery
and that he had as yet made no decision
as TO the selection, as ne had not yet seen
the sites offered.
The hatchery is to be erected under the
terms OF the bill passed at the last session
Of Congress, which appropriated S25 1000
for the purpose. Mr.. Bowers SAID he
would personally inspect the sites offered
in month or so, after which he viii Sc
lect the most desirable one.
The hatchery will be located where
there is pure water and other natural re-
SOU ces essential to the breeding Of the
inny tribe. There are no better Induce
men offered by any county in the State
than by Berkeley county, with its pure
sparkling water and its excellent location.
There are numerous sites that have been
suggested, among them the grounds at
Kilmer's Grove, mile from town. with
its excellent springs, beautiful grounds
and the Tuscarora creek passing nearby.
Besides this site there are the springs be
longing TO Mr.. O. b. LaFevre, at Bunker
Hill, on Mill Greek, and the Bedington
Grove, with its numerous springs, the
property of Mr.. John Kennedy.
There is certainly evey reason why
Berkeley county should receive the hatch
cry and no plausible reason why it should
not. The county has been heretofore en-
tirely over looked yes sighted, in the loca-
ton OF all institution in the State. Mar
tinsburg. as one of the leading Cities of
the State and tie leading city Of the cas-
tern panhandle, has not been favored
with the location of any State or Govern.
ment institution whatever while all the
other towns the size of Martinsburg, and
many Of the small ones, have public in.
stitution OF some kind. Berkeley county
wants this much anyhow, and there is no
-eason why it should not have it.
The hatchery will consist OF one or two
big buildings, probably handsome resi-
dense for the uprnlendant, several ponds
etc. and beautiful and well kept grounds
surrounding them.

ATLANTIC CITY. July 31.-There are
more things in this neck Of Jersey
than the great board walk. the swash
Of the sea, the myriad Of bathers and
the dainty summer girls. Next, Of

that have most interested me is the
life saver He is a sun Drowned, quiet.

the life savers seated on their perch
overlooking the beach. or idly pulling
their boat around among the bathers,
or now and then rescuing a too ven
turesome swimmer from treacherOus
sea puss. the life Of these keen eyed.
strong limbed guardians and rescuers
does not appear to be especially siren
uOus.
The careful observer looks into the
eyes of these apparently indolent men
and sees "A certain something written
there which tells of indomitable cour.
age, waiting only for the supreme mo
ment TO be called into action. 1t is
when the angry seas beat wildly
against the shore and the mocking cry
storm that the splendid courage of the
life savers is brought into full play.
There is nothing indolent In their life
then. They are no amateurs in danger,
who laugh and think heroism a cheap
and easy thing. They know the task
before them and launch their cookie
shell out on the giant waves, fully real
izing, every man of them, that the
chances are against them.
Along the Jersey coast, from Cape
May to Sandy Hook, embracing what
is known as the fourth district, there
are 40 life saving stations, about every
one of which some thrilling story of
wreck and rescue, of devotion and dar-
ing, could be told 1t takes nerve and
promptness of decision to be a life
saver, and the men whom | have met
along this coast display these qualities
in marked degree. Many of them have
medals awarded by the United States
for feats of especial daring. and right
well have they deserved them. Among
these medal wearers Is Christopher
Ludlam of the Hereford inlet station,
who was decorated for running a boat
out through a great gale and snow
storm to the rescue of lime schooner.
She was stranded and afre, and there
was no sane reason for one of that
little body of rescuers ever coming
back alive. But there was an insane
risk, and they took it and did come
back, not only with themselves, but the
men they went to get
An instance of the characteristic de
votion to duty of the life savers is
shown by an incident in the experience

WORK AHEAD.
National Success Dependent ON New
York Republicans.

The Republicans of the state of New
York cannot understand too soon or
too well that success in this election
depends upon them. This is the EN-
pire State, which casts the largest cleo
toral vote in the Union, and it is also
the pivotal state, upon which the re-
suit depends. 1t is also a close and
doubtful state. The whole result de-
ponds upon what the issues are, how
they are regarded by the voters here
and how active and enthusiastic the
Republicans are. Division. apathy OF
overconfdence win be fatal.
The issues are well in favor of Re
publican success. The chief issue is
the approval of an administration
which has been singularly fortunate
in avoiding mistakes. The administra--
tons policies have all led TO success
and prosperity. The greatest pros
perity in the history of the United
States has occurred during the past
three years and since the restoration
of public confidence and under the
operations OF the Dngley tariff. The
free silver and free trade hobbies of
the Democrats and side show parties
under the wings of the Democratic
party had accomplished the ruination
of business when the advance agent
of prosperity" was permitted to move
into the White House. Every aspect
was changed Immediately and as if
by magic. All the bowls about ''im-
perialism" and wasteful and wicked
wars and un-American policies do not
change the fact that the policies con
demned have brought order out of
chaos and industrial prosperity out of
stagnation and industrial despair.
The national policies Of the admins
tration are all right and beneficial to
the country, and the best thing the
country can do is to sustain them. In
dorsement will please President Me
Kinley, but 1t will benefit the country
and help it to continue to prosper and
grow rich Tee masses of this country
are never poor from choice, and there
fore it is not reasonable to suppose that
they will deliberately vote to return TO
the poverty making Democratic policies
from which they recently escaped
