IN THE FISH LINE.
Price of Fresh Lobsters Has Dropped
During Past Month.
HaIibut is Cheaper and Founders Are
in the Market.

r-rasb Iobcters do not cost much
,o,,, &c they did a month ago. The rea-
son for the lowering of retail prices Is
not given. but probably IT is because
moro people are now engaged in eaten
ina them than there We're last mohth,
and a larger supply Of the crustaceouS
fish is in the market as a consequence.
But whatever the cause the fact exists
that % cents will now buy a pound of
lobster, shell and all, while only short
time ago the price was 80 cents pound.
The reduction in price is gratifying to
those who love to eat this most tempt
ing Of salt water fish and it is hoped
the price will keep on its downward
course.
Halibut, too, has fallen in price. The
best cuts cost IS cents pound, but
really good halibut- can be bought for
II cents. Fresh founders from Belfast
bay are in the market and they retail
for II cents pound. Haddock, cod and
hake. the old reliable deep water fish
remain about the same in price as fol-
some time past. The price is from 6 t.
10 cents n pound.
CLAIMS retail for % cents a peck anG
oysters sell for the same old price, ac-
cording to quality.
There is no fresh bluefish in the mar
ket, the season not having opened as
vet. But one can buy chilled bluefisf
ut II to IS cents per pound. and chilled
salmon retails for IS and 20 cents.

For this reason they are scarce anC
high. Usually when the season start:
in the price is s or cents each, some
times even more. Later on they do no

The Golden Stars and. the Eastern
Stars again met in the baseball arena,
yesterday, on the East side, and for
some time the game went along with
thu honors constantly dropping into the
laps of the Golden Stars. Then trouble
arose over close play and the East
ern Stars protested, threatened and
finally quit the game. The umpire, Will
Mcnamara, declared the game forfeited
to the Golden Stars, 8 to 0. Once more
the latter challenges the juvenile teams
of the city, between the ages of and

Mrs Besant's passion and hunger for "mys-

'.theosophy' of which the lady speaks is not
penned up in grand lodge of Central Asia
or Egypt. The mystic and esoteric teach
ing of Christianity, whatever that may be
over and beyond the great doctrine OF the
incarnation, is not guarded by few mysta-
gogues OF hierophants. All nations and in
dividuals are, in the Bible, included in the
blessings of the incarnation. Little children
can comprehend what Jesus called 'the way,
the truth and the life Mrs. Besant objects
to this. She would hedge off her 'esoterc
Christianity in a special sanctuary and
carefully guard it from all but the mi
tiated." Occult Christianity, she says,
will again descend into the Adytum, dwell
ing behind the veil which guards the Holy of
Holes into which only the initiated may
enter Christianity, on the contrary, holds
that, at the moment Of the effectuation OF the
tragedy on Calvary, the veil of the Holy
Of Holes in the temple was rent from top tc
bottom in token of the fact that the one
perfect and sufficient sacrifice for sin offered
by the atoning Christ had given to every one
desiring it perfect access TO the Very throne
Of God. The elmer teachings Of Chris
tianity are, in fact, open to- all who desire
to be taught. The author throughout the
book delivers her determinations with the
assurance of a judge laying down the law.
Being up in occult literature, she decides
points like hierarch. She writes well and
gracefully, however, and her bigotry can
easily be borne.
