wbv any one should ever have de-
sired TO own or to visit an aquarium
Is mystery. The view Of fish. except
when nicely grilled or when suspended
at the end of a fishing line, Is one OF
the most uninteresting Of sights. The
other animals when in confinement dis
play traits which are more or less IN
teresting. The lion has a sense OF hu'
NOR and displays 1t in the most pleas
ing way when he devours the non
tanner who has entered too often INTO
his cage. The bear In his thirst for
buns seems SO much like the human
boy that the spectator Of his antics
frequently feels an irresistible desire
to hit him with stick.
But the fish has not a single inter-
esting trait. He will swim around the
tank in which he Is confined With q
persistence which Is maddening to the
nervous spectator. He never engages
in a genuine fight, but contents himself
with an occasional surreptitious bite
of an enemy's tail, which gives no true
satisfaction to the beholder. II he
happens to be a large snake thinly dis
guised as an eel or an octopus or some
other alarmingly ugly fish. he VIII
sometimes swim directly at the glass
through which the visitor Is looking at
him and thereby give the latter mo-
mentary sensation of horror, but the
average fish cares nothing for the pub
liz and treats his visitors with calm
contempt. An aquarium without fish,
like a seashore resort without the sea,
is unobjectionable, but an aquarium
with real water and real fish Is the
dreariest object in nature.-W. L. Al
den in Pearson's Magazine.

BARRE, VI, APRIL 8, 1901

1t is not often that matters entire

During what gave indication of being
the last moments on earth of Miss Char

yesterday unseemly dissension was going
On about the premises and considerable
excitement prevailed for time. While
the young woman lay on what appeared
TO be her deathbed, tine last spark of life
being expected to go out at any minute,
priests endeavored to secure admittance
to the house, and were repealed by the
inmates.
1t was said by Miss McI4ear's mother,
Mrs. q. V. Grier, and others that the
dying woman did not want to see a
priest. And it also was said that her
sister, Mrs. Toy, had sent for priests to
come to the house to minister to the dy
ing woman.
On Sunday the Rev. Edward McVeigh
went to the house and had talk with
Miss McLear, but it was said yesterday,
it was not known then that he was a
priest- The Rev. John A. Lyons went
to the house yesterday and was refused
admittante. Then it is said he went in

asked Chief of Police Massey for police
protection. Chief Massey said it was Il
matter for tho family to settle and that
he could not station an officer at the
house but he would have the policeman
on the heat notified to go by OCCASION

INTO the house who was not wanted there.
patrolman Abrahms was so instructed
| BY this time the whole neighborhood
was aroused and crowd had gathered
about the house. Soon afterward the
Rev. W. ]. Birmingham appeared and
sought to enter the house. He was pre-
vented from going in and was told by the
policeman that he was not wanted there
and had better go away. Father BERN
ingham was very indignant but left and
later called up the police station BY tele

about the course taken by the police.
After this no further attempt so fal

TROUBLE OVER FRUIT.
Samuel Hawley Held for Court OF
General Sessions.

Samuel Hawlcy has got into peck of
trouble owing to Il dispute about peck
of apples and two dozen oranges. He
was arraigncd in City Court last night
on the charge of stealing this quantity
of fruit from Fannie Classik, and Dep
lty Judge Townsend held him in $100
hail for the Court of General Sessions.
Hawlcy claimed the fruit was given
TO him but Fannie Classik said he stole
il from her and that after stealing il he
tried to sell her the same peck of apples
and the two dozen oranges.
The case against John Kotz, accused of
stealing bicycle, was dismissed.
james McGorern was fined SO and
costs on charge Of acting disorderly in
the Wilmington Theatre, preferred by
Special Officer Harry Dunbar. Dunbar,
L seems, had some trouble with Me-
Govern when bringing him to the police
station and clubbcd him.
There was some sharp criticism of the
officers action in this respect, but differ
ent stories of the matter are told. Some
say there was no reason for Dunbar 10
beat his prisoner and that he clubbed
the man numerically. On the other
hand ii is said that the tale of Dunbar's
treatment Of McGovern is exaggerated
and that he was right in doing as he
id as the prisoner resisted and several
men made an attempt to take him from
the officer before blow was struck.

Miss Ellen Kelly of No. 800 Walnut

Philadelphia on Saturday last by jump

Girurd avenue bridge. She was cescued
by Francis Shoemaker of No. 211a Pine

Although considerably shocked she
was not otherwise injured and it was
announced by the hospital authorities
yesterday morning that she would be
released from the institution in few
days.
Miss Kclly's relatives have long beer
of the opinion that occasionally her mind
became unbalanced and for the past Il
years her brothers, William j., Frank
and Charles Kelly, with whom she lived
have kept vigil over her as if she had
been child. There is no doubt in theil
minds that she was temporarily unbal

COAL PRICES FIXED.
No Increase in Anthracite This Month
and None Likely This Winter.

1t was most positively stated yesterday
by an authority upon matters pertaining
to the mining of anthracite coal that
there will be no further increase i'll the
price of this class of fuel this winter.
The schedule for December shows the
same figures for coal delivered at the
mines as did that of last month, and
these prices will pervail until April next.
I MS statement is given out Gdvisedly
and with due regard to the fact that
should complications arise at the mines
prices might go up; but as there is little
likelihood of labor troubles and as coal
is being shipped to repositories as fast
as possible il is hardly likely that any
difficulties will arise.
1t is estimated that during the month
of November there was mined 45O0,OO0
tons. or 700 tons less than the cores
pOnding month Of last year. The differ
ence or apparent shortage is explained
hy the coal strike of last year and the
extra effort put forth at its end to mine
all the coal possible. Then again, by
reason of the summer schedule making
Il reduction of so cents per ton to April
and grading 10-cent per month advance
until September. the mining of coal has
been more evenly distributed throughout
the year.
With the estimated tOnn 70 for No
vpmber added to the previous nths of
the year. the total number of tons mined
is approximately 4S,560,000 or an increase
of nenrly 5000, 900 over the corresponding
pernod Of last year. 1t is asserted that
in April next there will again be drop
in price of so cents per ton. increasing
thereafter, AS it did last year. 10 cents
per month until the so cents is regained

CHILDREN'S

That many citizens of Wilmington are
deeply interested in the work of the
Wilmington Institute Free Library is
attested by the several recent gifts that
have been received by this institution.
Within the past few days one gentle
man, whose benefactions are many, has
presented to the library a large crayon
portrait of the poet l4ongfelllow. TINS
portrait has been framed and now ,idornS
the children's room.
Ever since the chidren's room has
been fitted up with pictures and made
more cheerful. Howard Pyle has taken
great interest in the room. He has just
given expression to this interest by pre-
sentng to the library a set of nineteen
photographs of his Washington pictures
The originals OF these pictures wer,
made for his illustrations of Woodrow
Wilson's life of Washington" and ar,
now in the Boston Public Library. I'll,
set of photographs that Mr.. Pyle has JUS
given are of the largest size in which
reproductions are made and are admir-
ably adapted for framing. Mr.. Pyle ha:
promised to sign every picture thus addins
| to their interest and value. The pic
| ture will then he framed and hung in thu
children's room making special ex
hibit.
| Another citizen, VIM. f. Smalley, Jr.
has shown his interest in the library b.
presenting twenty-three portraits of Del
aware jurists. This unique collection
includes the portraits of early member
of the bar, including James A. Bayard
ST.. Nicholas Van Dyke, Jr., and Caesa
A. Rodney. 1t includes the chief Justice
of Common Pleas, Richard Bassett

George Read, Kensey Johns, ST., and
Samuel NJ. Harrington; the chief justices
of Delaware beginning with Thomas
Clayton and ending with Charles 3.

The library is especially fortunate in
securing this collection. They are now
on exhibition in one of the show cases
in the library. Each portrait is marked
with the name and term of Office of the
individual.
4 fruitful means of arousing the inter-
est on the part of the young in the read
ing Of books other than fiction is by the
use of bulletins on special topics. That
these bulletins do interest the children
| is attested by the fact that soon after
one is posted the books mentioned are
scarcely to be found on the library
shelves. Libraries throughout the coun-
/ try are employing this means of Stimu'
lnting reading and the designing Of bull
letins il made part of the courses Of
study mt library schools. The Whining
ton Institute Free Library has just Sc
cured from the New York State Library
School Mt Albany capital bulletin board
prepared on the subject Books about
dogs" In its preparation many pictures
on dogs were clipped from magazines and
mounted in artistic positions on the gray
lcar,lhoard background. Decorative bor-
ldcrs and the titles Of books and artic-
fleS on dogs are printed with white ink on
this background The effect is especially
pleasing and it will repay not simply
bows and girls but teachers and parents
to examine this bulletin board.

WILL BE BUSY SESSION
Levy Court Will Have Much Busi-
ness Today.
Final Decision May be Reached in
the Adams Tax
Matter.

Two interesting matters of business
will come before the Levy Court at its
regular meeting today. One is concern
ing the taxation of properties held by
religious bodies; the other is in relation
to the Adams tax money. Regarding
the first question if the court adopts the
report of Attorney Knowles, which was
presented ar the last meeting and re-
ferred to committee, civil action may
result.
Mr. Knowles held that under the law
the Ursuline Academy, among otherprop-
rites, is subject to taxation. William
Michael Byrnc, representing some Of the
property holders, probably will make a
contest regarding the Ursuline Academy
if Mr.. Knowles report is adopred.
Concerning the Adams tax money ques-
tion it is likely that final settlement
will be reached. 1t was stated at the
last meeting that the collectors were
willing to make the settlement desired by
the court if an indemnifying bond was
executed to insure their protection i'll case
Of any trouble arising that would involve
them. Accordingly Mr.. Knowles was in.
Structpd to have n bond drawn up and
report at today's meeting.

MILLER KNOWN HERE.
Man Arrested in Philadelphia Said to
Have Worked for j. NJ. Poole Co.

William II. Miller, the man who was
arrested in Philadelphia on Saturday af-
ternoon for making the remark that
"Roosevelt should he shot down like Nc
kinley" is said to have formerly worked
for the j. Morton Poole Company in this
city as a machinest. A local machinest
said last night that he remembered the
man and worked next to him in the
above company's shops.
Miller made the remark while in
crowd that had gathered to read the
bulletins of the Army-Navy football
game which President Roosevelt was
attending. He was Immediately arrested
and Il. Tracy Tobin, lawyer, who was
also standing in the crowd preferred
charges against him.
