Strange Ftsh Captured,

The other day Al Schnepp and s.
Y. Fits observed . dark object in
the surf near the Big Elephant at South
Atlantic City, n. J. They found It to
be a monster fish of some unknown
species and 1t required horse and
tackle to pull it ashore. The fish is
nine feet in length, four feet in cir
cumference, and its mouth 10 ~
inches across. 1t has three rows of
saw teeth, some of them an inch
long, hns like Q walrus, and none of
the old fishermen who examined II
could name it.

A RUSSIAN SALT.
Found in Copper Mines and Known in Chemical ParIance as Mala-
 chite, Azurite, Etc.

N
 There is a strange kind of salt, which is blue and green and pink and all other colors combined. It is not at all like table salt and is not salt to the taste. It is found in copper mines, and is used to ornament chairs and cabinets and so forth, says the Chicago Chronicle. The largest and finest pieces of this strange substance are taken from the mines of Siberia, and it was the Russians who first found a way of using it. That required great deal of thought and patience, for the substance cannot be melted and it breaks easily. The only way to pre- pare it for use is to slice it into thin strips, join the strips together with cement and polish the surface. When this is done it looks like dark pearl, with it's wavy lines and changefuI color effects.
 The chemical name for this sub- stance is carbonate of copper, for it is formed of carbonic acid and copper. However, the green variety is known to dealers in it as malachite, and the blue kind is called azurite. In some of the churches in Russia there are large columns of malachite, which look as solid as marble and far handsomer. In the palace of Versailles, near Paris, there is a room in which the furniture and mantefs are made of this same salt. Azurite, because it is more britt tie than malachite, is less used.

DIAMONDS AT A DISCOUNT.
Aspirant for Fame Finds Tint Gems Are Not the Only Requisite of
 Success on the Stage.


 Once there was merry villager in solemn opera company who had as pirations to be whole constellation all by himself, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. She watched the starry Armament very carefully and noticed that every star had plen- teous collections of jewelry and so many diamond sunbursts that they got tanned wearing them. She for got to remember that all the stars had written testimonials to patent medicines, and that the picture of one of them or another went with every bottle of tonic. She thought all were stars who glittered and straightway saved up her salary for ten years and soon had bureau drawer full of kohinoors. She then applied for a job on the strength of her gem mu- scum. But the manager asked her if her pictures were all over the town recommending new sort of nutritious puppy biscuit. Then she sadly replied that it was not. He replied: "You won't do. The diamonds are all right, but we can't put them on billboard" ]" Whereupon he blew cigarette smoke through his nose, which signified that the interview was over.
 Moral: A bucket of paste on bill board is worth two real diamonds in the top drawer of Louis Seize chif- fonier.

ATTEMPT TO ..HooDoon EVANS
How a Virginia Negro Lighthouse Keeper Tried to "Infiuence's
 the Admiral.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans was once in the lighthouse service. In a Sailors Log" published by the Ap- pletons, he tells of one of his expert ences as follows:
 sI found most of. the lighthouse keepers in Virginia waters were col pred men put in office by Gen. Malone and his followers. Many of them had to be removed, generally because they would go to sleep and neglect their lights. One of them had to remove for very curious offense, or, rather, he removed himself when he found was going to do it. I visited the sta- tion where he was on watch, and was inspecting, when I noticed that he fol lowed me about, splitting frequently when he thought I was not observing him. learned from the principal keeper, colored Methodist minister, that the fellow was chewing herbs and splitting around me as a hoodoo to prevent me from reporting the various irregularities I discovered. When he found that had reported them all, and asked his removal as well, he jumped overheard and was not seen again"

STORY TELLER'S LOST CHANGE
Had Good Yarr, But Missed Most Glorious Opportunity to 1m-
 prove on 1t.

Dr. Joseph Walsh, of the University of Pennsylvania, saw the Passion Play at Oberammergau, and one evening lately he entertained party of friends with his impressions of the spectacle, relates the Philadelphia Record. "One day while we were staying there" he said. my sister and I were standing on bridge that crossed stream, when we noticed picturesque Tyro- lean peasant on the bank. He was a big, handsome fellow-as handsome specimen of physical manhood as I think have ever seen. He saw that we were watching him, and hereturned the compliment by sizing us up, and smiling. My sister was carrying a parasol, and this slipped from her hand and fell into the stream below.
 "The big peasant, without mo- ment's hesitation, waded out into the water, rescued the parasol, and re- tnrned it to us. We learned later that, he was one of the Passion Play actors, taking the character of St. John. Quite an interesting experience, wasn't it ?"
 SOh, don't know" remarked one of the doctors friends, whose bump of veneration is not largely developed. If had been telling the story I should have made the fellow play the part of St. Peter. In that case he might have simply walked out on the water for the parasol instead of wading in and get ting Wet.'

A British officer has recently said that in two states Missouri and Kansas-his government had spent $5,0O0,000 for 'horsefesh, and q gentleman from South Africa, L. O.. Munson-now in Washington-says shiploads of horses had been steadily arriving at Cape Town for a year or more before he left there and that an officer in a po- sition to know had told him that 100000 horses and mules had been used so far by the British in the Boer war.

When men put up their money to do a thing they must be credited with be- Iieving that it can be done and that it is a good thing. A joint committee from the Knights of Labor and the American Antitrust league have ap- propriated $500 to hire two lawyers and pay other expenses of gathering evidence, upon which the attorney gen eral will be asked to proceed against the steel strust for having violated the Sherman antitrust law. They will also begin proceedings against the trust under several state antitrust laws. Many are watching the move ment with interest. although they re- gard it as doubtful whether anything substantial will be accomplished by it.

Henry Clews, the banker, in his last letter says that our railroads were never in better physical and financial condition than to-day, and their pros poets as dividend-payers are excellent. Very few are paying all they earn; consequently any moderate reduction in gross earnings would not affect divi- dends for the reason that the present large outlays for new equipment and Improvements will not be permanent. Conservatism has been the rule in rail- road management for the last few years, and stockholders have been get ting the advantage of this new policy. Plans for railroad consolidation are not by any means complete. One combi- nation forces another. and the pres ent movement is not likely to end until the whole country has been divided into groups; this being the ultimate re- suit predicted years ago by far-sight- ed practical railroad men. This ten dency need cause no concern i'll the public mind. for suitable legislation will certainly be devised to control the powers of these great railroad mag mates. Public ownership of the rail- roads would plunge us into sea of unknown forces. National supervision could readily be made sufficiently ef- fective to prevent corporate abuses.

The Pennsylvania democrats in con- vention assembled pitched into the re- publicans and they call on all good citizens to put down the corruption which now exists. The following is a sample of the scoring given the g. O. D. in the platform adopted: "Consti- tutional restraints and commands, the sancity of law. the obligations of official oaths and the demands of com mon honesty are thrust aside by the substitution of a higher law-the de mands of an insatiatiate greed of pub lie plunderers for money, money, more money. Shamelessly and openly the votes of legislators are bought and so consistently and constantly that mar ket values for legislators have been es- tablished by settled custom. Even the public charities of the state-its hos pitals and asylums and the comfort of their unfortunate inmates were made the sport of political greed and their appropriations measured and deter mined by their use and services to the machine. No possible field of eorrup- ton was left uncultivated by the crew of public plunderers who have seized upon our state, plunderers who. in the name of great political party, have prostituted all the purposes and pow CTS of government to their own enrich ment- For these crimes we indict the republican organization of Pennsyl- yania as it is now controlled.

J. says the New York Trib- une. Barthman formerly kept a store in Broad street, Newark, but was burned out more than year ago
 Last winter he went to Europe and on his return said there were limitless opportunities for American shoes in Austria, and that he intend ed to open a number of American shoe stores in Vienna, and afterward in other cities of Austria and Ger many. MT. Barthman had capital, but also interested others in his project. He returned to Vienna and sent or ders to this country for large con. signments of shoes.

FEAR OUR SHOES.
Vienna Manufacturers Alarmed at Establishment of Shoe Depots.
Agents of American Syndicate Pre- pairing to Open Up several Large Stores for Sale of the su-
 Derior American Shoe.

The news of the ablishment of American shoe depots in Vienna has caused great uneasiness among the master shoemakers and in the coun. cils of the Shosmakers' guild, says the Vienna spondent of the New York Herald.
 Herr Bitza, president of the guild, says: "The establishment of Amer ican shoe depots in Vienna will be at tended with absolutely tragic con- sequences so far as the Vienna shoe- making industry is concerned. Agents of the American syndicate are already in Vienna engaged in hiring commodious premises in each ward wherein to establish shoe stores. What renders tine matter still more hard on Vienna shoemakers is the circumstance. that Americans will not send 'shoddy' goods to Vienna. The leather which they employ is already we'll known to the Viennese, being used by local shoemakers. It is fine, thin and soft, but a thoroughly durable leather, and has, been worn in Vienna for years past by people of the upper classes. It is only the workmanship that can be better in Viennese shoes, because Viennese shoemakers employ hand labor, while the Americans use machinery.
 "The American syndicate owns a big shoe factory in Philadelphia, in which pair of shoes can be made in from 30 to 35 minutes. A custom CT only needs to come to the factory to give measurements, and while he is reading newspaper the shoes are made and he can take them away spick and span in half an hour. The cost of labor amounts to 27 kreuser pair, consequently American shoes are from 21a to 3 gulden cheaper than those produced by Viennese shoemakers."
