The life Of the Harboore fishermen
partakes, to a large extent, of the
character of a lottery. One month
they may make a rich haul, the next
month they may loose their entire
gear and even their lives. Some three
weeks ago an era of prosperity struck
the place. The briny deep teemed
with fish, and the demons of the air
were at rest for several days in sue
cession. The fishermen made three
trips from the shore to the fishing
grounds and back again. The catch
was sold for about $4,000, averaging
$40 a piece for the 100 men constitut-

very near spelling the whole game.

SKELETON UNDER WHITE HOUSE
Other Interesting Discoveries Made by
Workman on the Structure

Washington, Aug. 4.-Workmen employed
in tearing out the interior of the White
House last week unearthed. deep down I'M
der the basement, a portion of a human
skeleton. Strenuous efforts have been
made to keep the discovery a secret. pend
ing a more careful investigation of the
bones exhumed from such an unlocked for,
but historical, resting place The work
men have been cautioned not to discuss
the subject and the most rleid regulations
have been adopted to prevent persons not
actually employed in the mechanical work
from entering the building. Even clerks
and messengers belonging to the executive
force are excluded under the existing or
der.
The mysterious discovery was made
while the laborers were engaged in eV-
cavatng n vast pit or sub-Cellar below
the floor of the basement for the new heat
ing apparatus. After going down about
ten feet n massive stone vault was en-
countcred that proved to be what was az
parently the foundation walls Of an old
house, that had evidently stood on the
same spot where the White House was
afterward erected. 1t will be remembered
that the land upon which the White House
and adjacent public buildings are built IS
made land developed to its present Condi-
ton by filling in and grading In this
same excavation was found an immense
oven embedded in the stone wall and in
close proximity to the oven was found the
bones
During the tearing out process many oth-
or interesting discoveries have been made.
For instance in the famous east room, evil
dences of the fire of lSl4. when the mansion
was destroyed by the British, were dis
closed. AS the walls were cut out for the
placing of the new iron beams and supports
pieces of old burnt timbers were found,
having been burnt off close up to the stone
walls and left undsturbed when the por-
ton which was burnt was reconstructed

of the White House are OF pc + ct coHstruc-

found however, with some of the interior

be dangerously weak and In a state OF de-

was opened, and found to be in need OF re-
pair. New retaining walls have been erect

CLEMANT AND HIGH LICENSE

Mr. Clement comes before the people as
the prime mover of a high license local op-
ton law. This is no new thing. We have
had such statutes before and the Dem
ocratic party has been Contending for 1t
for the past 80 years. He said nothing that
they nave not said a thousand times.

man who honestly believes in such Il law.
1t Is a grave and serious question which

the evil of liquor drinking but ! must criti-
else MIR. Clements method as promulgated
by him in Senate bill IS introduced by him
into the Legislature of 1900. In section he
provided that licenses in a town shall not
exceed one to each 1000 people and then
put in that unholy and wicked proViso that
this should not apply to druggists licenses
In section he provides for five kinds or
classes of licenses. First, to sell liquor in
quantities less than five gallons at one
time at "A license of $500 to $1,000; second
for selling malt liquors and wines contain
Ing not exceeding 16 per cent of alcohol at
a license of 800 to $500: third. for selling
malt liquors in quantities of i've gallons or
less at one time at 500 to $3.50 a license
fourth, for druggists to sell liquors for
medicinal, mechanical or chemical pur-
poses at license of s.; and NTH, to sell

he proclaimed to his boilers headed by Mr.
Jones that II they wanted him as a leader

His own county convention was one of
