An Open Letter to CounciImen.

To the Honorable Members of the City Council:
In this mornings Journal L read of the
proposed bill to tax astrologers 800 per
year, as we'll as sc-caled fortune tellers"
Under which name all mediums, palmists
and astrologers are classed, indiscriminate-
ly) If there be also the same sum levied
upon every lawyer, physician. dentist and
minister in the city of Indianapolis it will
be fair, but there cannot be class legisla-
tion," directed against honest citizens who
conscientiously practice their profession,
simply because the city is in need of
fundsI' If men and women consulted as
trOlOgers TO ascertain their own best tai
ents and their childrens there would not
be so many failures among the human race.
Many persons are in lowly walks of life
to-day only because they did not in time
get into their proper sphere. Even now,
there is little disposition to become prop
erly enlightened as TO the best line of
work TO pursue. Persons are endowed in
different manner; some are pre-eIninently
fitted for the pulpit, or bar; some are nat
ural physicians, chemists, or merchants.
Astrology is a science, and has always been
held in repute by intelligent persons. The
best use TO which money can be put is,
in my opinion, to ascertain ones true char
acter and talents, then expend all energy
in developing the strongest gift. Instead,
some parents spend hundreds, often thou
sans OF dollars, TO train youth for some
profession or business for which he has
not the least natural fitness, without when
there will be no success worthy of the
name.
Be just Allow others 10 become en-
lightened and fill their true niche in life.
Were more astrologers consulted and their
advice followed the state of society would
be vastly improved; there would be fewer
divorces, better children and fewer in
mates in eleemosynary institutions and
prisons.

NEW SEAL ROOKERY.
Herd of Fur-Bearers Found at West.
ern End of the AIeutian Islands.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Captain Shoe
maker, of the revenue-cutter service, has
received a report from Captain Charles H.
Mcclellan, commanding the cutter Man
ming, recording the discovery of a new fur
seal rookery in the Aleutian islands. The
Manning went to the Aleutian islands in
accordance with instructions from Captain
Shoemaker, who had received information
through the natives of the existence of a
seal herd near the western end of the long
chain of islands. While cruising among the
islands early in July as the executive Off
Ger of the Manning, Lieutenant Berthoff
went ashore with a boat crew on the
Island of BOuldyer There he found a
rookery of fur seals similar to those found
on the Pribyloff islands. BOuldyer is be-
tween Boring sea and the Pacific ocean.
fully $500 miles west of San Francisco, but
still within American jurisdiction. Lieut..
Berthoff approached the herd closely
enough TO observe that none of the seals
had been branded, and there was no sign
that white men in search of fur seal had
ever been near the island
The Manning will continue searching to
discover if there are other rookeries in
that locality. The discovery is considered
important by the officials here, in view of
the gradual decline of the fur seal on the
Pribyloff islands.

BEER PLENTY, CRABS FEW
POPULAR WASHINGTON PICNIC COM
BINATION KNOCKED OUT.
No Scarcity of Drink, but the Tooth
some Crustacean Is Hard to Get
HOLSTERS More Plentiful.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Crab feasts are
no longer the thing in Washington. For
merly they were fashionable summer dis
sipation. Crabs and beer were quite the
thing for picnics They are in vogue no
more, not because the popular taste for
crabs has disappeared, but because crabs
are no longer available There is a crab
famine. Even in this crustacean market
which, with the exception of Baltimore
is the best in the United States, there are
not enough hard shells or soft shells TO sup
ply the hunger of those who feast on those
in midsummer, when it is too hot to do
anything else. The government has taken
serious notice of the affairs Ii has sent
through the fish commission, a number of
experts to the Chesapeake bay to discover
the reason of the disappearance of this
popular food shell fish. Their report will
not be ready until fall.
The government Is carrying the same
sort of work with reference to the lobster
The investigation of the lobster has been
going on longer than that relating 10 the
crab and the result is much more conclu-
sive and satisfactory. There were two
great troubles with the lobster One was
that it ate itself and the other was that
everything else alive wanted to eat il. Put
twelve young Holsters in a tub of water
and in a week there will be but one lob
ster. This one contains all the others.
Left alone in the sea and thousand other
living things in the sea are living off the
lobster. Furthermore the fishermen were
catching the mothers and stripping them
of their eggs. All these combined caused
the lobster to be the point of final dis
appearance. The government now buys
from the fishermen all female Holsters
with eggs at the market price. The eggs are
taken, Matched and the Holsters given back
10 the fishermen. He can then get double
price by selling them in the market The
government carefully matches and nurtures
the young Holsters with the result that the
sea is becoming plentifully restocked The
danger of a lobster famine is rapidly dis
appearing.

DEVELOPING THE WABASH
SELECTING THE ROUTE To REACH
ITS PITTsBURG TERMINAL.
Fast Runs on Baltimore & Ohio South
western-Aggressive of Big
Four Passenger Men.

The next move Of the Wabash will be
watched with a good deal of interest, and
within a few days its intentions in south
eastern Ohio in its efforts to reach Pitts
burg will be known. -Four routes have
been surveyed to determine the best line
from GAINESVILLE TO connect the Wheeling
& Lake Erie with the West Virginia Cen
trail at Parkersburg, and the selection Of
the most suitable one is expected to be
made by President Ramsey within the
next few days. Three of the four routes
traverse the west side of the Muskingum
river passing through Muskingum. Nor
gan. Perry and Washington counties. The
other survey follows the east bank of the
Muskingum to McConnellsville and crosses
there to the west. The average distance
from GAINESVILLE to Parkersburg by these
routes Is sixty-one miles, and there is a
difference of but one or two miles between
any two Of them. All four of the surveys
pass through the 10000 acres OF coal lands
Gould interests.
In 1870, when the Cincinnati & Musking-
UNI Valley Railway was built. President
Ramsey was assistant 70 the late G. c.
Waite. He was then only twenty years
old, but since then his rise in the railway
world has been very rapid. Well-informed
| railway men here are inclined TO think that
| President Ramsey may postpone making a
| choice from the four Parkersburg surveys
until the sale of the Columbus. Sandusky
| & Hooking Railway, which takes place at
| Columbus next month. Should the Goulds
| secure that road, its terminal facilities
/ here would simplify matters so far as
| GAINESVILLE is concerned, and a few miles OF
/ it's track could be utilized in the extension
/ to Parkersburg. Its use would vitality af-
| feet the choice of the routes.

Fierce Moro IntertribaI Fight.

MANILA, Aug. 19.-There have been no
developments to-day in the Moro situation
on the island of Mindanao. General Chaffee
was expected to reach Cebu on the army
transport ingalls, this morning, but the
vessels arrival at that port has not yet
been reported. 1t is possible General
Chaffee has decided to shorten his trip to
the southern islands and return to Manila
direct 1t is believed here that General
Chaffee will increase the American forces
on Mindanao and issue an ultimatum to
the hostile MOros. There are at present
1900 American troops in the Philippine
islands, a goodly portion of which could be
spared for active service.
Captain John T. Pershing, of the Fiji
teenth Cavalry, who is in command of the
American column at Lanao, MndanaO, has
reported a fierce Moro intertribal fight
near Camp Vickers. Mindanao. The con-
tending factions met at Wedding. Forty
five men were killed outright and many
others were wounded. No Americans were
concerned in the trouble.
