Stage Recollections.

The few articles by Clara Morris, which
have appeared in recent numbers of "Me.
Clure's Magazine" giving her recollections
of the stage and its people, will have given
the public foretaste Of a larger treat in
store for them in the volume consisting of
these and many additional "Recolections y
which Mcclure, Phillips & Co. are prepar.
ing to issue in the fall. Probably no actor
has come into such close professional and
social contact with so many great actors Of
the past thirty or forty years as Miss Morris.
She has retentive memory, an infinite
sense of humor, and an unusual faculty for
relating an incident. The book promises
something TO be enjoyed by everybody who
likes good story and true one. Some Of
the people of whom Miss Morris writes are
now living, while others are but memory.
but all of them she knew well or intimately.
and in many cases acted leading roles IN
their companies.

the other day. Their net had been
out for hours, and they were about
to pull ashore in despair when they
saw the big floats suddenly swish
around under the impetus of heavy
body. They knew at once that they
had made a strike, and no small one
at that, and they began to pull in
with renewed hope and energy.
DEM was at the front hauling on the
net and trying to suppress his ex-
citement while he toiled on the lines
and whistled for luck. He was grad
ually drawing the big fish to the boat
when it gave an extra heavy lunge
and started off to reach deep water
and liberty again. The pull was too
much for DEM. He tugged with all
his might, but the fish tugged hard
est, and over into the river went fish
erman, net and all.
Leaving the boat to care for itself,
Dennis hardy partner sprang nimbly
to the rescue, and after deal of
effort finally succeeded in getting
hook fast in the net and line out
to DEM. The two men then worked
together and landed the biggest stur-
geon of the season. 1t weighed 300
pounds, and besides the flesh yielded
full keg of caviar, worth $40 a keg.

Number and Cost of Edu-

In respect to the number of chill
dren in regular attendance at its pub
lie schools New York stands at the
head of American cities, with total
of 100000, exclusive of 10000 pupils
who attend parochial schools, says

The number of school children in
Philadelphia is 100000 in Chicago

When the sturgeon fishing season
opened John A. Dem was one of the
first men to come to Bayside, n. j..
from his home in Penns Grove and
join in the fishing colony. Denn is
one of the best known men in the
county, and at the last session of the
legislature he was doorkeeper in the

poor luck this season and many of
them have given up in disgust and

Phone to Displace Ticker.
lackawanna Railroad Will Abandon The
Telegraph

Following the example of Western
railroads the Lackawanna Railroad
Company is about to install raiload
telephone system to displace the tele-
graph. Both general Superintendent
T. E. Clarke and Superintendent of
the Telegraphic System L. B. Foley
are advocates of the latter system, and
have announced the company's decis-
ion.
This new system consists of tele-
phonIc service similar to that of the
telegraph. In the place of the tele-
graph instrument, telephone instru-
ments will be placed along the line.
Printed blanks numbered and running
consecu,ively to a. have been pre-
pared. 1t requires only few words
to fill in the complete order, which is
the only portion to be repeated, the
remainder being printed and absolute
ly proof against error. By the install
alton of telephones the company fig
ures out a saving of sixty per cent. for
operators.
1t is planned to connect each tele-
phone with phonograph to record
each order. Discussing the matter
General Superintendent Clarke stated
that the company had decided to
adopt the system after long communi-
cations with the officials of several
Western roads, where the service has
been IN vogue for some time. The
experience has found it highly salts
factory and after experimenting on the
Morris and Essex division of the
Lackawanna the decision was reached.
One other Eastern railroad, the Penn
sylvania, is employing the telephone,
but only on its branches, notably the
South Fork. The Lackawanna pro-
poses to install the telephones with as
much rapidity as is pr actical.

William Lawrence and Samuel

construction of fiat at the rivers
edge at Arch street, were first to arrive
on the scene and carried the bodies
of the injured boys up on the river

exception of Pulen and the younger

The "Montour" was recently pur-
chased from the Pennsylvania Canal
Company the purchase price being
$4,000. The boat was bought to be
used for excursions and a charter was
secured under the name of the Sum
bury Boat Company composed of the
following parties II. A. Reed, Harry
Guyer, II. T.. Davis, w. l.. Dewart
and DR.. c. H. Peters. At the time
of purchase Mr.. Reed had the boiler
thoroughly tested by experts by hy-
draulic pressure fifty per cent. in ex-
cess to the working pressure.
The test was thoroughly made and
was the same as required and used IN
that department of the service of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. The
boat was used last Sunday and every
thing worked perfectly satisfactorily.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
All plans had been made for
pleasure trip up the river and many
guests were in town from Harrisburg,
Williamsport and other places. The
party was beginning to assemble and
in twenty minutes time would have
embarked on their journey. The fact
that several trains were late prevented
the party from leaving before the time
of the accident.
The body of George Frymire was
recovered from the water Sunday
morning, torn almost beyond recogni-
tion.
A coroner's jury is investigating the
accident. Several witnesses have been
examined, but no verdict will be rem
dered until Friday. 1t appears to be
the general belief that the overpro-
ductlon of steam power caused the
explosion.

A Rare Lot of Birds Eggs,

NEW YORK, July 17.--More than
10000 birds eggs, representing years of
effort in finding them aud the expendi-
ture of thousands of dollars, make up the
collection which has just come into the
possession of John Lewis Childs of Floral
Park, \. y, a wealthy scotsman, who
founded the town where he lives. When
all these eggs come to him, Mr.. Childs
will have the largest and most valuable
collection of North American birds eggs
in existence. The collection, for which
he has paid $4,000 in cash, was sold to
him by Miss Jean Bell of Philadelphia,
noted ornithologist. Miss Bell spent
2S years in getting together this rare
assortment of eggs, and many an exciting
adventure was associated with the work.

To Get the Best Result from Refrigerators.

There are many people who from
false idea of economy fail to get the
best results from the use ice and re-
frigerators. a common mistake is
getting a small piece of ice every day
or every other day, instead of filling
the ice chamber two or three times
week. The small piece OF ice can't
reduce the temperature sufficiently,
and the result is that each new piece
melts rapidly and the food cannot be
kept long. 1t will be found at the
end of the season that the cost of ice
and waste Of food have been much
greater than if the ice chamber had
been kept hlled.-MARIA PARLoA, in
