departed at a. m. taking the road

enough OF breeze blowing to make the
ride enjoyable. Along New creek there
are numbers OF farmers and cattle rails

buildings, showing that they were pros
porous and well-to-do farmers. II is
five miles from Keyser to the foot of
the mountains, where we took the road
leading to the top of the mountain,
which Is three miles. This road is
graded and the ascent is very gradual.
Here we take the Northwestern pike,
leading from Parkersburg to stanton.

graded and macadamizad roads in the
country. The descent down the noun

Something About Fish.

| To the Editor OF the Register.
There Is no more enthusiastic fisher
man In Wheeling than Col. Thomas A.
Little. He frequently buys whole
strings of fish, and he is on the fish
commissioners list at Washington. He
receives at times a large volume on the
/ fish business. They are about as large
as an unabridged dictionary, and filled
full OF the most exciting statistics The
colonel loaned us volume upon which
TO base this artlcle-the matter In
question being the relative value OF
| different fishes as edible matter.
| This particular book starts with
whales and comes down the list to oys-
tiers and crawfish.
| 80
The difficulty experienced in the study
OF fishes from scientific standpoint Is
| the number of aliases the fish sails
| under and the wonderful amount OF
! chemicals he carries around with him.
Take for exaomple the "chaenobyyttuos
| gulosus antistius" that we have In the
river here, and who carries with him
various percentages of albuminoids,
protein, sodium chloride, prosphoric
| acid potash. &c, &c. Now, II a man
would jerk fish out OF Inc river and
the accompanying drug store, he would
be more or less unnerved, unless he
had the right kind of bait.
After severe study, the following
facts are CLEANED, viz:--that the bass
and other game fish which have posed
for long time as table delicies are not
to be compared with the humble mullet
even. This of course includes the
sucker, SO common in the Ohio river.
The one is good to catch-the other to
eat The great mistake has been, that
the table value Of the bass has been
measured by the fun and excitement
required to catch him. The excitement
attending the catching OF sucker
would not rufie the calmness of a
Quaker minister. He simply sucks in
the bait, then waits to be pulled up.
But with all his quietness he Is bird
fit for feast of Lucullus.

we will not confuse the reader by
entering into the nutritive qualities as
given in the Report. But 1t would
seem that II person desired a good
table fish that he would catch his bass,
then give them away and buy a string
Of suckers to take home and eat.

Mayor Taggart Crawford Fairbanks and
Joseph w. Tanning sat in corner of the
Grand Hotel and inquired about the new
hotel deal.
you may say. since you have asked the
question:" said the mayor, that the new
hotel will be built at French Lick. While
X is hardly true that the option on the
real estate has been closed, the matter will
probably be settled within a few days.
We are going to build the hotel and 1t will
be a fine one. We will have three hundred
guest rooms alone Work will be COM
menced on the house about the first of
July and we expect the building to be ready
for occupancy by next February"
Being importuned as TO his intentions in
regard to the mayoralty, Mr. Taggart said
You may say that you asked Mayor Tag
CART If he would be a candidate again, AMI
he replied that he was positively not a
candidate for reelection. You may say
further that when you asked him, a you
have already put ii, If he would run Il
taken by the head and shoulders and
forced into the race, that the mayor merely
smiled"
Then you don't care to come out like
President Mckinley and declare that you
will not make the race again. even if nom
inated?' the mayor asked.
well, the difference between Mckinley
and myself is this" replied the mayor.
Mckinley is smart and knows that ne
couldn't get the office again. Now you may
draw your own inference" Mayor Tag
CART says the new hotel TO be erected at
French Lick will cost about $500 600.
