The wsakfsh
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Most people who go to the fish mar
ket and bring home a weal1iish are
when it is served on the
table. AS a rule, It is tasteless thing
and, consequently, as a food fish, its
reputation in the market is not high.
This is unfortunate, because it is pre-
Icisely on account of its extnsme deli
cacy that the fish loses its flavor be-
fore it reaches the market. Now, as
IA matter of fact, the weal1fsh, when
properly treated for the table, has no
superior in the sea.
Now the weakfish which we get in
the market does not get fair play. II
is caught in a pound net where it re-
mains struggling for hours, some
times two days, and when the net is
lifted it is either dead or close to
death. Then IL is tossed on ice on
beard q boat, and often thrown into
the hold where there is no ice, and
carried TO the market where the deal
.ers keep 70 on ice sometimes for two
or three days. The result is that the
consumer finds that it has neither
flavor nor delicacy, that, in fact. it is
a worthless fish.
All this is the result of excessive
netting, a decidedly vicious practice
for which the State of New Jersey is
principally blamed. But now there is
a bill before the Legislature of New
Jersey to limit the pound netting and
o stop the wanton destruction of food
fishes. 1t should at once become law.
Hundreds of thousands OF good citi-
Eeus would welcome it, and even tn.
rombers on the Jersey coast would
wave their caps and cheer. To be sure
they roar nearly all the time; but
there is no reason why they should moi
shout specially for the Protective
i-...,ne "a oalt Water Fishermen and
the emancipation of the weakish.

WANTED-A CONVICTION

In the opinion Of the people OF the
United Statss Mrs Cordela Bot
Kin is guilty of the murder Of
Mrs. John p. Dunning and Mrs. Joshua
d. Deane Of this State. The fact that
the Supreme Court OF California has
granted her plea for a new trial in
no sense affects that opinion in her
favor. 1t rather increases the senti-
mcnt against her. On all sides the wish
Is heard expressed that the second
tu.al may result in a speedy conviction,
and that she may be sentenced once
more to spend the remainder OF her
life behind prison walls.
While Attorney General Ward had
newspaper knowledge that a new trial
had been granted this modern BE'gia.
IL was not until Saturday afternoon
that he received an official communi-
cation from the California authorities
bearing on the subject II came in
the shape of letter from Attorney
General Ford. He recitod the circum-
stances leading up 10 the granting Of

able length in respect TO circumstantial
evidence This instruction had been
given previously In murder cases in
California, and the courts were ac-
customed 10 give 10 In all cases involv-
ing circumstantial evidence. The pro-
ceedings were taken in the Hoff case.
and involved tha Brandes and Botkin
cases. In the Hon and Brandes cases
the question Of the jurisdiction OF the
California courts was not in conto-
vcrsy In the Botkin case it was.
Counsel for Mrs Bctkin contended that
California had no jurisdiction. Attor-
ney-Ceneral Ford argued to the con-
trary. and o decision was rendered es-
tablishing Californias jurisdiction; but
the decision in the Hon case applied to
Che Botkin case, and a new trial was
ordered.
Attorney General Ward is Informed
by Attorney General Ford that the neN
trial viii be under the auspices and
supervision of the district attorney OF
San Franc SEQ, who is anxious to OBJ
tain a conviction in the case, and
would welcome any assistance from the
authorities of Delaware. The Califor-

assures Attorney-General Ward tina
everything that could be done has beer

it coolly. Saying few more words
of prayer he crossed the heated
oven back again, thus finishing the
fret part OF the performance. The
second part was simply repetition
of the first after about ten minutes
intermission.
Then those who wanted to de
nounce Papa TIA fake and others
who wanted to be sure whether the
stones were really hot or not climbed
the oven-with their shoes on Of
course-and felt the stones stepped
on by Papa Ita-which they dared
not to before Papa 1ta's gods had
reduced the heat of the stones.
1t is an injustice to call Papa Ita's
performance a fake, for he really
fulfilled what he had promised to
do--that of stepping on heated
rocks. He is not to blame for
peoples over-expectations
There was little rumpus be-
tween Manager Lewis and the SOL
dier after the performance, which
resulted in their being accompanied
by the police to the Station.
Although the performance was
not an extraordinary feat, it does

IS SUICIDE EPIDEMIop

Hardly day goes by without we
read the report Of suicide and the
coroner is a very busy man. What
is the reason of this frightful in
crease in suicide all over the world?
Is the theory often advanced that
suicidal mania is epidemic correct?
1t appears to be, because, whenever
suicide occurs, it is generally fol
lowed by others who make up their
minds to take the short route out OF
the world.
