up $500 On his wv bottle, says the

one of the ships oficers-where the
bottles were sent adrift and promised
the finder a liberal reward. Each bet
tor made out a check for $500 and
handed it to Miss Belle Harper, a fel-

BRYAN'S CURE FOR ANARCHY

Free Government, Springing as De
rect1y as Possible From the People.
Mr.. Bryan, in a recent issue of The
Commoner, suggests this cure for an
archy:
'The suppression Of anarchy Is only
q temporary relief. Stealing can and
SHOULD be suppressed by law, but steal
ing cannot be eradicated until people
are convinced that it Is wrong to steal.
So anarchy can and should be sup
pressed by law, but it cannot be entire
" eradicated until all are convinced
that anarchy Is wrong. Free govern
ment, springtng as directly as possible
from he people and made as respon-
sive as possible to their will, is the
emily permanent and complete cure for
anarchy. The arbitrary governments
OF the old world have tried suppress
sion, but have not succeeded. They
have lessened anarchy just in proper
ton as they have extended civil liberty
and participation in the government.
Stern measures must be invoked for
b suppression and punishment of
every manifestation Of andrchistic
spirit, but beyond this remedy there
must be education. All must be taught
that government is an absolute neces-
efty and that our form Of government
Is the best ever devised. We can only
bring absolute security TO our public
servants by making the government SO
just and so benefcent that every citi-
zen will be willing to give his life, If
need be, to preserve it to posterity."

BIGGEST LOBSTER POUND.
Being Built ON Maine Coast to Hold
Half q Million -Crustaceans.

Being Bull ON Maine Coast to Hold
Half q Million C-rustaceans.
At South Bluehill, on the Hancock
county coast, is being constructed the
largest lobster pound in the world, its
capacity being estimated at 10000 lob
STEERS, says a dispatch from Bangor,
Me-, to the New York Sun. The lobster
fisheries of Maine nave long been n
ofsthe most important industries Of the
state, the catch being valued at millions
Of dollars annually. The fishermen long
ago realised that by holding the lob
STEERS until the "of' season Of the year
they could get higher prices than If
the whole catch were marketed as fast
as taken.
For this purpose they constructed
pounds or Enclosures in which to on
fine the fish. There was much risk in
this, however. for storms frequently
wrecked the small psslnds ba1ts By fndf
ritual fsherxnea with limited Haeagss,
gna thus many o man loss his entire
sssEBcn's catch. Gradually the business
% pounding Holsters passed into the
hands OF men of large means, who In
recent years have purchased the catch
Of the fishermen and "yarded" the lob
sters In vast numbers in pounds of
great capacity, strongly constructed,
selling when the price Is high.
The new pound at South Bluehill is a
natural salt water basin, formerly the
| pond of one Of the old fashioned tide
sawmills which have now disappeared
from the Maine coast. The basin is con-
| hected with Bluehill bay by a narrow
( strait and fills and empties at every
tide. To convert the pond into a lob
ster pound 1t was simply necessary to
construct gates at the outlet SO that
/ the water could be held or lowered at
will. The pound Is on a steamboat
route, and Holsters taken one day may
be landed in Boston on the following
morning.
