Mackerel Off Rockland.

RoCKLAND, Aug. % The fleet of six
Gloucester mackerel catchers which. were
in the harbor over Sunday left at day break
Monday morning for the mackerel grounds,
which at present seems to be in this coast
vicinity. The Priscilla, Captain Cochrane,
of Gloucester, arrived Saturday with 3OOC
mackerel for tine Rockland Fish Company.
This made 10000 mackerel since Friday.
The market was so active that the Rockland
Fish Company had shipped their entire
purchase yesterday morning to various
parts of Maine. The fish sold at about IA
cents apiece. Captain Sol. Jacobs, who laid
here since Friday with the Alice NJ. Jacobs,
left early in the morning yesterday for the
Matinicus grounds. Captain Jacobs was
late in getting his auxiliary into gear for
early fishing this season, but stated yester-
day that the season had not been SO disas-
trous but that he had managed to stock
$4,000. Captain Jacobs said that he ex-
pected great mackerel catches off shore in
the vicinity of Seal Island or Matinicus, as
they had chased the elusive speckled beau
ties along the coast from the Nova Scotia
coast and his idea was that they were
schooling off Rockland.

Does Expansion Pay?

Now that we are in the business of
owning islands, it is interesting and
necessary to keep track of their value
to US, from the point of view of what
we have to sell and what we need to
buy" Thus says Mr.. Walter J. Bal
lard in a letter in the New York Sun,
in which he shows by tables that own
ership does pay, and it pays we'll"
Porto Rico's purchases of us, he says,
exclusive of government supplies, dur
ing 1902 (the fiscal year ending June
800, amount to $40, 719, 444, which exceed
those of 1897, when we did not own the
island, by IS, $50, 500; the amount pur-
chased then being $l,9sS, Sss. Mr.. Bal
lard continues:
Further, in view of the fact that
money paid to members of our family
is not lost, as it would be if paid to
some other family, it is seen that own
ership pays, in that our purchases from
Porto Rico in 1902 were S, 297 422, as
against 81, Isl ,024 in 1897, al increase in
1902 over 1897 of $50 per cent.
The 1902 trade of Porto Rico with
outsiders was s., 406 GU imports against
81, 592, 505 exports, giving the island a
favorable balance of trade of -, 49,, SIS
for the year. This is a first-class re-
suit for practically only four-year-
old business. What the island did in
this direction under Spanish DONNA
ton cuts no figure beside what its peo-
pie are doing now under the Stars and
Stripes.

Improved Wage Conditions.

A number of notable wage increases
have taken place i'll the industrial world
recently, the more important being:
An increase OF one cent per hour to
motormen and conductors, nearly 5000
in number, on the Union Traction troll
ley lines in Philadelphia, This is prac-
tically a 10 per cent. raise.
An increase OF 10 per cent. to cotton
mill operatives in southern New Eng
land affecting more than fifty thousand.
An increase of - per cent. and an
eight-hour day for two thousand struc-
tural iron and bridge workers in and
about Pittsburg.
An increase of from ) to 10 per cent
to the one thousand employees of the
Barbour Flax Spinning Company Of
Paterson, \. j.
An increase of 10 per cent to the
four thousand employees of the John
A. Roeblings Sons Company of Tren-
ton, \. J.
An increase, amounting to S125, 900 a

dispatchers, telegraphers and tower
men on the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad
An increase of 10 per cent. to some
fifteen thousand employees of the
United Steel Corporation in mills and
furnaces in and about Pittsburg. This

tice, the amount being enclosed in the
pay envelopes of June Goth.
A substantial increase in varying
amounts to about fifty thousand iron
workers in the rolling mills throughout
the country. This increase takes place
under the sliding scale arranged with
the iron workers union, and follows
the advance in the price of bar iron.

misguided efforts to be affectionate.
Professor Stringer says the incident
affected him so much that he at once
set about the invention Of a machine
which should obviate such accidents
in the future.
Professor Brooks says that the re-
suits of his observation show that
there are 30,000,O QUO married people in
the United States. The majority Of
these, says the founder Of the College
Of Courtship, are unhappy; they are
enduring the life rather than enjoying
it. This, he believes. is a condition
which could be entirely prevented If
the 30,0OO,000 had been graduated from
his institution.
The College Of Courtship at Atwood,
Tenn, is now open for the reception Of
students, either for regular or post
graduate course. The latter, necessar-
lily, Is for married p, ople. 1t Is de-
signed to show quarrelsome couples the
errors Of their ways by causing them
to take a special course of instruction
in good temper. Professor Brooks says
he expects there will be great demand
for the graduates of his college. Sew
eral scholarships will be granted to
deserving young people who do not yet
know how to make love.

SAME ADVICE TO BoTH.-1n passing
Judgment in the cases of men arraign'
ed at the Central station on charges
of intoxication, Magistrate Cunning
ham, although he frequently reVerses
himself, offers to each offender some
sound advice.
Bill Jones, who had been found upon
the public highway minus the faculty
of navigation, was arraigned before
him.
Married or single?" asked the mag
istrate.
"Single, SIR" replied the shaking cul-
prit.
You ought to get married. II you
had a wife and family to occupy your
attention you would have no desire tc
drink" said the magistrate. I'll dis
charge you; but I hope you'll give te
matrimony more thought than you have
to liquor"
John Smith, who had also been ar
rested for being intoxicated, was mex
called.
Married or single, John?" querieo
the magistrate.
Married, your honor" was the pris'
oner's reply.
Then you have no business getting
drunk. Drinking should be done BY
single men who nave no family to re-
quire their attention and cash. YOU
ought to have remained single, ther
the damage you are doing would fal
upon you alone. Go home and think
it over."-Philadelph Evening Tele'

THE DECISION STooD.-He stood be-
fore the bar Of justice. 1t was doubt
less his first appearance in the role OF
defendant, but that there are other
bars was evidenced in his dishevelled
attire, his watery eyes and the obvious
trembling of his person. What is
known in the parlance Of the "rounder'
as a "bracer' was the one thing
needful to establish the culprit's equan-
unity; but refreshments are not found
behind the bar at which stood this
penitent and bedraggled victim of toe
much might before" The magistrate
regarded him with plying gaze.
You are accused" he said, "of wan
dering through the streets In a state
of beastly intoxication."
The prisoner nodded his head affirma-
lively.
1T is charged by the officer that yol
in a loud voice, proclaimed the fac'
that you didn't intend returning to the
bosom of your family until the first
CLEANS of sunlight announced the ad-
vent of another morning"
Again the defendant affirmed the
truth Of the accusation.
Have you anything to say in eXten'
uation of your offence?'
Your honor" murmured the bedrag'
eled specimen, II am married man
Yesterday my wife presented me with
a bouncing boy. 1 left the house
and"
You thought you would celebrate the
happy occasion in a beftting manner
You we're unwise. But as 1t appears
customary for a man to observe the
occasion Of his firstborn's appearance
in the manner which you selected, an
inclined to be lenient with you. Or
YOUR promise not to repeat the offense
I will discharge you with my congrat'
ulations."
ct thank your honor for your kind
ness and the sentiments" replied the
defendant, "but your congratulations
are misplaced. 1t was not the first, but
the tenth"
You are indeed worthy of commits
eration," returned the judge. Ge

can."-Philadelphia Evening Tele'

to any suitor who presents himself.
In all other points the instruction to
be given in scientific lovemaking will
be equally thorough. The object Of the
college Of Courtship" is to impart a
finished style to the lovemaking of Its
students. No graduate Of the tnstitu-
tion, for instance, will ever need to de-
scend to such subterfuges as saying,
IF you love me, squeeze my hand!"
He will know how to obtain an avowal
by methods that are less crude. Les
sons will be given, also, In language
Of flowers and Of stamps. These lee
lures will be finished productions, hav-
ing nothing in common with 1.-THE rose
Is red, the violets blue, pickles are
green" and the rest of that riducu-
lous and antiquated school. Modern
science demands better things in love,
says Professor Brooks. and it will be
the object Of the institution to develop
in it's pupils the highest grade Of art
in lovemaking.
AS far as possible the students will
be exercised without apparatus; but
members of the faculty have devised
several testing machines Of such un-
doubted value that they will be used
in the curriculum. One of the best Of
these, devised by Professor Strlnger,
is known as the hug tester" 1t con-
sists of a dressmaker's dummy, to the
top Of which is affixed a dial resemb-
ling that used on a weighing machine.
BY an ingenius arrangement OF
springs attached to the waist Of the
figures the exact value Of hug in
pounds avoirdupoise can be estimated
to nicely. By it's use Professor Strin-
ger hopes to develop to the proper ex-
tent the arms of those young men
whose hugs have hitherto lacked
strength, while at the same time the
machine will enable him to keep a
watch upon those muscular persons
who are unaware, perhaps, Of the en-
ergy they are employing. These will
be warned Of their excess and will be
shown the proper amount of pressure
to exert. They will then be exercised
upon the machine until they are per-
| feet in the art. Professor Stringer
mentions the sad case Of a young man
not a student Of the college-who
upon being accepted by the young wo-
man to whom he was paying atten-
tion, cracked three Of her ribs in his
