Trout on Tap.

In the days when the only means of
rapid communication with Eastport, Me,
was by steamboat from Portland and st.
John, N. B., Bert Bean, a commercial
traveller from Boston, paid a visit to
Campobello Island, which belongs to
New Brunswick, though only a short
distance down the harbor. Bean had a
little money, and liking the island he
bought a tract OF land on top of the hill.
His purchase contained about 100 acres,
in the middle of which was a small pond
in a hollow about 200 feet above tide
water, which washed the shore less than
seventy five rods away. AS the pond
was fed by springs, Bean had it stocked
with trout. which were caught in brooks
on the mainland and brought over in
pals. Then he went away for four
years. On his return the pond was
warming with the tro ut. Though the
place had been fshed by expert anglers
thew had never met with any luck, be-
cause there were SO many caddlce

that the fish had no need for taking the
hook.
Bean consulted a lawyer and found
that as his pond contained less than ten
acres it was his to hold and protect
against all Corners. He waited a few
years longer and sent down a crew OF
men, who bored a hole from the shore
through the bank facing the ocean,, in
serting a water main in the opening
When he had put a turn tap in the pipt
so far inside the hill that it would no
freeze in winter he was ready to supply
fish to order. Orders were taken in Bos
ton and other large places for as man,
trout as he could furnish. Then Bean
came to Campobello, turned the stol
: cock, drew off the water and picked VI
his fish as easily as he could kindlings
, He always left enough to stock the pom
!. with young fry, after which he close
the faucet and allowed the springs to ii

Committee Of Five Named to Confer
With Governor Aycock.
NO DECISION WAS REACHED YESTERDAY
The Agricultural Borrd Will Visit The College
This Morning and Again Confer With
The Governor Dr. Winston
Wants Separate Oormitory

The State Board of Agriculture met
tee of five TO wait en- the Governor and
confer with MIN about rebuilding VIZ,
tauga ball, which was destroyed by fire
at the A. and NJ. College last week.
DR.. George T. Winston, President of
the Agricultural and Mechanic College
appeared before the board shortly after
the board met at 5 o'clock and stated
the situation at the college.
Wr. Winston asked that Watauga Hall
be rebuilt for dormitory purposes en-
tirely, and that separate bwuilding BE-
erected for dining hall.
President Winston pointed out that the
walls of the Watauga building are still
intact and that the dormitory needs Of
the college did not begin to equal the
demand before the fire. Since then
thirty-eight young rlen have been forced
to return home, because there is uo
room for then. He also dwelt on the
necessity for separating the dining room
and kitchen from the other buildings
The board heard DR.. Winston and then
appointed a special committee to confer
with the Governor for the purpose OF
securing his sanction before undertaking
to rebuild and also to get his ideas.
The committee was under the impress
sion that the Governor would leave the
city this morning. II being ascertained
and no action was taken yesterdas.
An
after the entire board has visited the
college and investigated the situation.
1t will be necessary for the Governor TO

placing w atauga Hall can be under
taken. The members of the committee
that waited en- the Governor are: Col.
John S. Cunningham, Mr.. VIM. Duncan,
Mr.. G. N. Allen, Mr.. A. T. McCollunt
and Mr.. A. Connor.
! The board will undoubtedly take steps
to replace the building destroyed by fire,
but the character of the building is yet
to be agreed upon. Or. Winston did not
give an opinion as to the probable cost
of the two buildings he desires.
The board aill meet again this morn
ing at $50 o'clock, and at 10 a. m. will
visit the college. The day will be &c :
voted largely to college matters. The
Finance Committee was in session yes
terday and inspected the books of the
department.

TWO YEARS ON ROADS
DR." R. R. aasseII, the
Pleaded Guilty.
Sentenced Yesterday to Serve on Wake Roads
in J,hnsion Superior Court Stripes
Are Not New to Him.

DR." C. r. Hassel, the insurance
fakir, who was recently arrested in
Robson county for violation of the
State insurance laws, was yesterday
sentenced to two years Imprisonment on
the county roads of Wake.
The sentence was imposed in Johnson
County Superior Court, where DR.
Hassell, through his counsel, Mr.. E. S.
Abel, plead guilty and threw himself
upon the mercy of the court
The Insurance Commissioner, Mr.
Jas. r. Young, left here yesterday
morning to attend the trial and the
plea of guilty on the part of the insur-
ance swindler enabled him to return in
the afternoon.
Hassell was charged with soliciting in
surance without license and with rep
resenting an unlicensed company. He
was also charged with securing money
under false pretences, but Judgment
was suspended on the latter charge.
The record of Hassell is a checkered
one. He is about fifty years of age and
has been engaged in fraudulent insur-
ance work a good part of his life. He
first came into notoriety as one of the
men engaged in the graveyard swim
die" of insurance companies at Beau
fort. For this he. received a term in
the State prison, but he was pardoned
by Governor Russell.
Hasscll was representing the old
Wayne Mutual Company when captured
this last time. 1t will be remembered
| that he attempted unique method of
escape when captured. Hassell is a
man of tremendous weight and he in
duced the officer to accompany him a
distance of several hundred yards in
the woods. He fell down, feigning sick
| ness, and it required the services of
several able bodied men to drag him
back 20 the public road.

THE MAN IN THE BOX.
He Tells His Story-Boxed Himself Up to
Come Here and Seek Work.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press)
New York, Dec. 3.-The man who was
discovered in the hold of the Hamburg
American steamer Palatia yesterday after
having made the trip across the ocean in
box, had recovered sufficiently today to
be able to establish his identity posi-
lively. He said his name was Johan
Beck and that he had lived up to about
a year ago in Buda Pest, Hungary. The
doctors would not allow him to tell all
his story but enough was learned from
him and other sources to show that Beck
was house painter and that he had come
across the card of an uptown hotel in this
city, the proprietors of which have Ger
man names. Though stranger to them
he wrote that he could get no work in
Germany and was coming to America and
hoped the hotel men could find him
something to do. Then he fitted up a
packing case, paid freight charges on it
and engaged a carter to take it to the
Hamburg pier at certain time. He
then returned to his lodgings and boxed
himself up after he had provisioned HIM
self dozen cans of condensed milk, a
box Of prunes, three dozen cakes OF
chocolate, coffee in bottles and some
bread. The carter called and got the
box, not knowing of it's living contents
and shipped it.
Beck declares he was in the box until
the ship reached the Hoboken pier. a
period of about fifteen days, where he
found he was almost dead from hunger,
cold and terror. Tonight he was reported
to be still exceedingly weak but the ply
sicians hope for his recovery.

or west.

The following truth came from
the fertile brain of the editor Of the
Washington Post, the most indie
pendent daily newspaper in the
United States:
"Rich as the country is there
are urgent demands for many mil
lions Of dollars to meet the most
pressing public necessities. There
are poor asylums packed almost to
sufocation and hospitals that dis>
grace humanity in cities that squan>
der the products of tax levies.
There are armies of children turned
away from the school houses be-
cause there is no room for them in
cities where rings Of rascals riot in
the spoils of extravagant appropri,
ations. But for the diversion of
public funds to wasteful uses there
would be ample means at present
rates of taxation to meet the wants
of state and city governments"
