GREEN PEAS FOR EELS.
DR.. Pease Discovers . New Bait-Wfl
Try Canned Peas Next.

DR. Frederick o. Peaae OF Chicago IA
fond OF eels fried, stewed or potted, and
always fishes for them when on waters
that contain them. He holds that the
electric variety is a. good IA any other
kind after II IL dead and It's storage battery
has quit working. On little lake above
Ludington, Mich. not long ago he used
a queer bait with success
He had tried bits OF fish, earthworms.
dead minnows and crawfish tails without
getting a bite. An old farmer happened
along and askcd what he was fishing for.
Pease said "Eels.- shortly and resumed
work.
The farmer watched him awhile, then
said. tentatively:
They come up into my garden every
night"
For green peas, was the answer.

The doctor rceled in his line and went
with III" farmer; he was in a frame of mind
when ha was ready 20 try anything In

| tanning the peas The farmer Instructed
| him To hang pod on his hook, just as if
| it we're live bait, cast in, let 1t sink and
| await results
| Peas" did So. He got a nibble in little
| while, r"cled in and found that the pea-pod
| had been bitten half in two. He rnhaited

| Thereafter the sailing was plain He

| A. the strikes seemed 10 br surer With

and had "A good time. He got back to

GELS, which weighed in the aggregate

MYERS TO DISCUSS
DISTRICT JUDGESHIP
Bar Association Urges Local
Man for Vacancy.
Will Told Special Meeting Today When
Some Action Will Be Taken and
Opinion Will Be Expressed.

A meeting of the members of the
Washington Bar Association will be held
this afternoon at 3:15 to consider the
propriety OF urging President Roosevelt
to appoint resident of the District as
the successor to the late Justice Andrew
c. Bradley. OF the Supreme Court OF the
District
The petition Oh which the board of d
rectors bases the call for the meeting
was signed by nearly twice as many
members as were necessary under the
constitution to insure its issuance. The
signers were mostly members OF long
standing at the District bar and inc!ud-
practice among the local practitioners.
Signers Equally Divided.
The signers were almost equally di-
vided, it is believed, between friends OF
the three leading local candidates, AMI
to all who signed the call the explicit
explanation was made that it was not
thu purpose TO indorse any candidate OF
set 90 candidates, but to secure public
expression OF the Bar Association on tha
one matter rs to which there appeared
to be unanimity of opinion-namely,
that the public interests of the clients

resentatives and of the lawyers practic-
ing before the District bar. den inded

Attorney Charles H. Merllat who

The movement is not in the interest
of any particular member of the Dis

meeting should be held came from any
of the gentlemen who have been named
in connection with the vacancy. The
proposition found encoura cement from
supporters Of all the leading candidates.
and likewise found discourag cement from
some of the chief advocates of each OF
the local men. The latter gentlemen
were of this opinion because they be-
lieved such a meeting would be futile.

parties concerned-that is, it will mean
the saving of several hundred thousand
dollars to the railroad company in con-

sums to the taxpayers of the District of

The Original Bill.
"In conclusion. we would state that
the bill of February u, 1901, was advo-
Gated and supported by the Board of
Trade of this city, because it appeared
1t that time to be the only plan and
route which would allow the railroad to
get into its station on the Mall, and
1T the same time abolish grade cross
ngs on Maryland and Virginia Avenues,
and now that the station site is to be
