ANGLERS NAY SWEAR.
Cleveland Tells When Use of ''Cussn
Words Is Permissible.
New York Correspondence Chicago
Record-HeraldD

tNew York Correspondence Chicago
Record-Herald)
Former President Grover Cleveland
declares IL is not only permissible for
hsherInen to say damn but often
duty. This dictun win be as the
balm in Gilead TO the army of anglers,
for ii comes not only with the author
ity OF former president of the United
states. but with the sanctity that may
cling TO the son of Presbyterian min
lister and to member of the FACULTY or
Presbyterian university.
Mr.. Cleveland qualities his state
ment with the explanation that the ex-
pletive must not be delivered in wrath.
but with the slowness and impressive
ness OF genuine conviction. More
over. he says the proper use of damn"
is cardinal .rinciple OF the Walton
ian cult This declaTsltion. which may
take away the breath of some ortho-
dox people, was made in the course OF
an interview on the former presidents
experiences as a fisherman
My biggest catch?" repeated Mr.
Cleveland in response to a question
1T is rather q difficult question 10
answer. Last year l landed twenty
five pound drum when I was down in
Virginia. but bigger ones have been
caught there I remember losing one
that must have weighed forty or fifty
pounds. from the stress and strain on
the rod. l will never cease to regret
losing that fish, because / wanted Ad-
miral Evans to suffer at the sight of
it. But the confounded line got caught
and the fish escaped.
Yes, I Swore. Under those circum-
stances it is permissible, and in fact
incumbent upon the true fisherman.
But it must be mild and measured
The phrase is a part of the rubric
of the disciples of Walton. l uttered
them slowly and impressively-'Dam
that fish, Z"
Mr.. Cleveland's reference to Admiral
Evans may explain his conversion to
the Waftoniar faith. Ii should be no
ticed that in setting the seal of his
favor on the ancient and now honora-
Bile crossword, the former presidents
dispensation extends only to true fish
ermen." On that subject he said:
The whole matter SINNERS down to
this. There are fishermen and there
are hog fishermen. The hog fisher
man is closely allied to the squaw fish
errnan, and both should be ruled out
of the fishing fraternity for all time.
The former may be skiliful with rod
and line, but he has neither forbear-
ance nor moderation. He is never sat
isfied with filing his creel with a fair
catch. He wants everything in sight
and under the waters. He is nothing
more than hog.
THE Squaw fisherman hasn't any
love for the sport He doesn't derive
any real pleasure from it, He takes it
up as fad or to acquire a reputation
He only wants to catch fish to boast
about - He doesn't catch many as a
rule, and he is gwen 10 whining about
his i'll luck. His sole capital is his
tackle and a little fish language
Neither a. hog fisherman nor squaw
fisherman should be accepted as true
angler"

AS TO FAILURES.

i UN'S REVIEW, which has just been
- issued, contains number of in
teresting statistics relative TO the bust
ness failures in the United States dur
ing the first six months of 1902. The
showing is not particularly encourag-
ing, especially to those who have been
indulging in ford talk about the great
wave of prosperity in the United
States and rosy prophecies for the fu-
ture- The Dun statements open with
the following figures:
Reports to r. G. Dun & Co. show com
mereial failures for the half year 6.165 in
number with se9.S74, $50 liabilities against
5,I09 lnsolyencies in the corresponding
months of 1901 involving s55.S04. go. OF
this years aggregate, LIS were in man
ofaclurfng for $24.940. 020 T. 40 in trading
lor ~, i49.6zz. and 337 in other commercial
lines for S6.2S9. 214; as compared with 1896
IN manufacturing last year for S21, 6e1, O4S.
4.1SS in trading for s24s64. 207, and 800
miscellaneous with liabilities of 50. 249, Asa.
Defaults of banks and othes fiduciary in
situations murderer 81 with an indebted
ness of Sl6,D7.163. against IS in the cor
responding six months Of 1891 involving
SIS, So. $50 .
A glance at the local figures does not
indicate that all classes of business are
sharing in the prosperity. For in
stance. during the first six months Of
1901 there We're twenty-six failures for
Sf2s,744 in Utah. During the CORE
spending period in 1902 the aggregate
was thirty-f1ye failures for $4Os, 1888. In
Idaho there were thirty~one failures for
$12O,S5O in 1902, as against seventeen for
s50,75 in 1861. Arizona shows "A de.
crease in the amount of liability,
though the total number of failures in
1902 was exactly the same as the 1901
total.
Colorado seems to be in particularly
bad way. Its record for the first six
months of 1902 was seventy failures for
$1,2S6,59S. During the first six months
of 1901 the failures in Colorado aggre-
gated forty, with liabilities amounting
to $12S,2s1. Wyoming had seven fail
ures for $4,000 in 1902, as compared
with one failure for 81 600 in the first
six months of 1901. Montana's figures
are exactly the same in regard to num-
bers. but the liabilities for 1902 exceed
those for 1901 by $47. 4sO.
OF all the so-called far western and
Pacific states the only ones that show
Improvement over 1901 are Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Oregon and
California The total decrease in num-
bers is eighty-eight, and in liabilities,
S2.22O,1SS. The grand total of liabilities
Tor the far western and Pacific states in
1902 is Ss,020,956. and for 1901, s5.2I0, $40,
a net increase in liabilities of s., $40 O07.
The net increase in numbers for 1902,
as compared with 1901. is 1s5.

POLLUTION OF
THE DELAWARE.
Complaints About The Oil and
Refuse From Marcus Hook
Oil Barges.
YACHTSMEN UP In ARMS.
The Government Will Be Ask
ed to Take Action as
The Oil Kills The
Fish.

Yachtsmen along the Delaware
River are UP IN arms over the alleg
ed pollution of the Delaware river.
1t is said that :he vessels which bring
Texas oil t. the plant at Marcuu
Hook clean out their tanks and til Q
refuse goes into the Delaware. as Il
Consequence there is heavy oily
scum on the Delaware. From New
Castle TO Philadelphia is h-arl the
same outcry against the oil. Trouble
has 6eeu noted for several weeks
past, but OF late it has become more
marked aud the complaints have
beeu more numerous
The vessel owners were the first
to notice the scum on The surface Of
the water about the vicinity Of Mlr-
Gus Hook. aud the most vigorous
protests so far have come from The
owners OF pleasure yachts The
members OF the Philadelphia anl
Corinthian Yacht Clubs, whose
headquarters are at EssinS ton, and
the various clubs south Of Marcus
Hook are loud in their protests OF
how the surface OF the broad Della
ware has been letiled by great quaint
tiles Of oily filth. carelessly let
flow from vessels or pipes about the
oil works. The dark, grimy fluid
floats OF the top Of the water and
makes dirty line on the white
huls Of the vessels. in addition to
giving otTense by itsuupleas ant odor.
A prominent yacht owner in
speaking of the nuisance said that
his vessel, after sailing a mile, had
the fine appearance Of her hull spoil
cd by the thick, nasty fluid floating
ON the water.
Rivermen say that gradually this
oil will become a tirst-class nuisance.
as it is deposited on the flats by the
receding tide and pollutes the at
mOsphere with its smell. The pres
ence of quantities of oil on the water
will kill the fish, and make Chesters
water supply unfit for use unless
something is done to prevent its be-
ing thrown into the river. Then the
oil men at Hook will have a lawsuit
on their hands which will make the
little case brought by the people of
Marcus Hook sink into insigniiicance.
The attention Of the United States
authorities will DC called to the mat.
ter. Only few years ago the shad
fishermen were losers of thousands
Of dollars on aceount of the pollution
of the Delaware river by refuse from
the Point Breeze Oh Works. The
shad became tainted by the oil and
whole consignmen,s for week were

vessel owners may be annoyed yet the
Hundreds Of men who make their
living bv fishing on the river must

of Boston Convention.

The Rev. William NJ. Jeffries, of
Calvary P. Z. Church, has returned
from Boston, where he attended the
convention of the Brotherhood Of
st. Andrew.
The meetings were held in two
large halls. and were noticeable for
large attendance, the enthusiasm
shown, and for a chorus of 1000
male voices, which brought consid-
cradle applause from the Boston
people.
1t being decided to employ Dis
trict Secretaries, 10000 was sub
scribed, to pay for their services, in
five minutes.
Dr. Jeffries while in Boston, met st.
Andrews delegates from all parts of
the country, and made an addressto

Calvary Church, which has two
chapters holding weekly meetings,
was represented at the convention
