her agonized words. Don't shoot" The

Fish Feel Little Pain.

From the London Telegraph.
In reference to a recent prosecution,
the question has been raised as to the
sensibility of fish to pain. Writing on
this subject, Adrian Lumley sends us
some striking instances which tend to
show fish do not feel pain to anything
like the extent that might be imag-
ined." while fishing for pike at
Bedgebury, in Kent he writes. 81 left
out at night what is known as a VIM
mer. a large float. wound with several
yards of line attached to a dead bait,
impaled upon a double hook. Next
morning the line was found to be
broken. and an hour later pike took
my bait. which. on being landed, proved
to have the missing hook and lead
embedded in it's eye, and about six
yards of line trailing. Is there any
warm-blooded animal. which, having a
sharp hook freshly embedded in the
most sensitive part of the body, would
be able to feed under the circum-
stances ?''

AtIanta's Plan to Keep From Being

the Idea.

AtIanta's Plan to Keep From Being
Bottled Up-GOv. Gambler Endorses
the Idea.
Atlanta. April 16.-Governor Gambler
and many prominent citizens of Allan
ia and state officials. indorse the sug-
gestion that the state should extend its
railroad to Savannah or some other
place on the seacoast as a means of
protecting its property against being
bottled up as the result of any railway
combinations that might be formed.
The plan was suggested editorially
by the Constitution to-day. Governor
Gambler said it was on the same line as
was the policy urged by himself in the
Legislature over twenty-five years ago.
At that time when the State took over
the Macon and Brunswick railroad be-
cause it had to pay the bonds which 1t
had Endorsed, Governor Gambler said he
suggested that the State build a line
between Macon and Atlanta connect
ing it with the State road. He believes
that is the one remedy for any attempt
that may be made to bottle up the
States property and render it value
less. Prominent citizens of Atlanta in
dorse the idea and express the opinion
that it would be wise policy on the part
of the State to extend its line to the
sea which cannot be controlled by syn
dicates.

liceman James B. Duncan, the woman
fell in dead faint on the floor caus-
ing furry of excitement in the court
room. Lawyers and others rushed to
her assistance and she was removed
from the room and given medical at
tention.
Whether the fainting was genuine
or designed is not known, but the jury
had not retired at the time, and as
soon as Mrs. Duncan was removed
Judge Gambler asked the attorneys for
the defense why mistrial should not
be declared. They protested against it
and Solicitor General Hill declined to
ask for it himself. The jury was then
sent to a hotel by Judge Gambler and
ordered not to discuss the case. The
court announced he would take up the
question as to whether the action of
the defendant should be considered
sufficient ground for a mistrial the
first thing tomorrow morning.
