His Beneficial Work.

His Beneficial Work.
Probably nowhere on earth is the
sun kept more constantly down to
more grinding daily toll for the bena-
fit of mankind, for which he has been
created. than in Gloucester. Through
the whole year, on every pleasant day,
he is drying fish on the fakes. There
is nothing which takes more skill in
the business than this curing of the
fish. Winter and summer. without
Thermometer or any definite appl;-
ances, the curer must watch and an
ticipate the mad jumps of our New
england weather, and provide against
them. No cook can watch an oven SO
closely as this man. He is chef with
10000 pounds of meat to watch, and
Slip of a quarter of an hour may
mean a thousand dollars loss. The
chief dangers are cooking or burning
In the summer and freezing in the
winter. To provide against the first,
the fish flakes are protected all the
summer through with white canva,
awnings to protect them from the heat
of the sun. Even with these it is i'm
possible to put the fish out on very
hot days. When the fish are burned
it can be told by merely feeling Of
the backs of the fish underneath: they
have become cooked and sticky with
the heat. This means that the meat of
the fish will flake off when they are
being skinned, and will not hold to-
gether in the various processes of Pre-.
pairing.
Freezing the fish often occurs in the
winter, if the days are too cold and
the trouble from this is that they will
seem to be dry, when in reality they
are frozen, and will be found to be
moist when put into the store room.
When the fish is really cured the ex-
pert can tell it from it's appearance.
principally from the small crystals of
salt on its surface. 1t must be dried
just right, and it is often necessary to
hurry it off the flakes to get it in the
shed in time. For the United States
trade fish which is somewhat moist
is prepared. For the old West Indies
trade it is necessary to have the fish
hard and dry for preservation in the
tropics.-East Gloucester (Mass.) Cor

 He was not a seemingly robust man in middle life, as John Fisk was. Febru- ary brought his eighty-frst birthday, and 1t was known year ago that his health was failing.
 He was graduated at Yale in '49, wrestling the valedictory from Timo- thy wight-afterward president. Hon. Augustus Brandegee was a mem Der of that class, and so was Judge Francis M. Finch-"Psl U. Finch. Through the divinity school Fisk passed on to the Congregational minis try, but not to the work of the pasto- rate. He was called to another work the teaching and training of pastors. The Chicago Theological seminary one of whose halls bears his name-is his monument. He founded it and built it up. It stands for forty three years of his life.
 He was a very lovable man and a man greatly beloved. An admirable instructor, he was also an admirable preacher. As speaker at alumni meetings and assemblages of that sort he had few equals. His eloquence was ner was full of charm. The benignity that shone in his face was the genuine article. Before everything else Dr. Fisk was a Christian gentleman. Hartford Courant.

TROLLEY TO WATERTowN.
Traction Company Makes Application

Traction Company Makes Application
 to Judge Roraback. ! Waterbury, July 9,-The Connecticut Railway and Lighting company, through it's attorney, Allan w. Paige, of Bridgeport has made application to Judge Roraback, of the superior court, for permission to extend it's lines to WatertoWn. The papers, which were drawn up yesterday, have been served on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and the selectmen of Waterbury and Watertown. The hear ing has been set for Il o'clock on the morning of July 23 and will take place in the Waterbury superior court As the tracks of the Watertown branch of the Consolidated road run parallel to the proposed extension, the company will first have to get the con- sent of superior court judge before the extension can be made. At the present time the steam road runs ten trains day each way, but whether 1t is it's intention to combat the trolley company in it's application for an ex- tension is not known for a certainty as yet, although it is reported that the
 
 passing under it's bridge in Oakville. Attorney Robbins, it will be remem- bered, offered such objection when the hearing on the extension took place before the Waterbury selectmen few years ago. No other objection was raised by him.
 The company in it's application to Judge Roraback asks him to find that public necessity and convenience re- quire the extension. Should the court decide that the present number of train on the Consolidated road is suf- fcient to carry the people of Water town to and from Watertown, it will be the means of killing the petition. Where a trolley company parallels steam road it is necessary to enter up the finding asked for by the trolley com pany before an electric road can be | built.
 The trolley company proposes to run | from the present terminus in Oakville | along the Watertown road under the 1 trestle of the Watertown branch to the | brick store, or by departing from eaid | road at point near the stone arch bridge at Bradleys store and continuing on private property ad- iacent to the Watertown road for a distance of about two miles and re- turning to the Watertown road at a point south of the residence of George Harper.
 Many witnesses including Waterbury and Watertown people will be sum- noned to appear at the hearing.

YESTERDAYS BALL GAMES
NEW HAVEN LOST ATHOlETO THE
 MERIDEN TEAM.

The Score Was 5 to 3-Locais Unable to ] Hit Hodge When Hits Were Needed = ] New London Also Lose-Other Games New Haven lost to Meriden at the Savin Rock grounds yesterday after noon through their inability to solve the benders of Hodge. The Blues were able to make only four little hits, and these were in times when they dldn't t count for much. Meriden on the other hand made seven hits and the team could find the ball when runs were needed Daerng had plenty of speed and struck out five men, but he couldn stop Reilly's men from making hits when hits were needed. They scored in the second inning on two singles and sacrifice and followed it up in the third by another run. Rogers hit safe- ly in the fourth but was forced at second by Flanagan. Canavan failed to hold Kuhn's throw in an attempted double play and Flanagan got to sec ond. Moves got to first on another error of Canavan, who let ball so through him and Flanagan reached third. Moves stole the second bag and Kuhn made a mess of Luchias throw allowing Flanagan to score. As the re- suit of a two-bagger and q single in the sixth another run came across the pan and under the same circumstances in the ninth they scored another tally.
 New Haven made two in the sixth on hits by Bone and Hafford, Canavan's long fly to Flanagan and that players error of Bannon's fly. Luchla's base on balls and steal, followed by Vollen- dorf's single allowed the New Ravens to score their last run. Bernard after making two errors in the first three innings was taken out by Canavan and Ramon went to short. Vollendorf went out to right field and his nice hit was for a run.
 Tomorrow afternoon the strong Bris- tol team will be at Savln Rock grounds and the fight of the leaders will be a good one. The score of the game yes terday follows:

In the superior court yesterday morn ing Michael Daley changed his plea to one of guilty of third offense of theft. Daley was bound over from the city court q month ago, where he had been jarraigned for stealing some beer from the Belle Dock hotel, the property of the Hauptmann Brewing company. Daley had been in court many times for drunkenness, and his record was presented to Judge ShumWay by State Attorney Williams, who stated that the accused had been in state prison, but that his many incarcerations in jail seemed to have no reformatory effect. He recommended one year in state prison.
