THE CATFISH ZONE.
And the Origin of the Philadelphia
Habit of Catfish and WmGIcS.

While pessimists have been ucn0unc-
ing the extension Of the pie belt
through the United States and the en-
largemcnt of the salcratus biscuit dis
trict. they have been entirely obivious
of the extraordinary development OF
the catfish zone. This mjschicvous

small boy and the rustic angler under
many names--in ono place as sucker

fish and, most outrageous Of all, in
northern Mississippi as a shad. But its
own only genuine tite is catfish. The
name Is derived from the fact that
when the creature is raised from the
water II emits gruutng protest which
poetical fishermen have pronounced
like the purring Of family eat.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might he eaten 10 prevent starvation
until one fine day a thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal and that this simple food not
only fattened the eater, but changed
the color of its belly from white to
yellow. He perceived the pecunlary
value Of the discovery and established
a catfish farm in which he fattened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in dine season sold them TO the phila-
delphia markets.
A Quakercss soon after that dlscov'
cred that the old fashioned waffle,
slightly salted and covered with melt
ed butter, made an irresistible accesso-
ry to the fish when well fried. This
started the catfish and waflies, for
which the City of Brotherly Love has
ever since been famous, The habit
spread like an epidemic, Gnd. like the

GRANGE FOR WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
Resolution Adopted by the National Organiza
tion Before Adjournment.

Lansing, Mich. Especially THE Ma
tional Grange renewed its recognition
of woman's equality by adopting the re-
port of its committee on good of the
order, which declared that every pos
'sble thing should be done ito put wo-
man in possession of all those political
rights and property interests that the
spirit of modern civilization demands.
The report further says that the vice
of intemperance should be checked and
the crime of easy divorces which has
made America too conspicuous in the
eyes of the world made impossible.
The duty of the Grange was declared
to be to impress upon the farmer that he
is an American citizen with political
duties to perform, and that the man who
neglects them because politics are too
dirty for him is Just as much criminal
as the man who neglects to drain cess
pool that threatens his family because it
is il-smelling."
A resolution indorsing the initiative
and referendum was defeated by the
committee on resolutions by a vote Of
8 to E. The Grange adjourned sine die.

GREAT DOCK FIRE.
Wisconsin Central Railroad Property Valued
at Over Half a Million Dollars Destroyed.

Ashland, Wis. (SpeciaD.-The Wis
consin Central Railroad ore dock was
destroyed by fire, the loss involved be-
ing about $525,ooo In falling the dock
carried with it a number of firemen and
dockmen, and several lives were lost
just how many probably will not be
known for several days. Several badly
injured hremen were rescued from the
burning ruins, one of them with both
legs broken.
The fire started, presumably, from
boat unloading lumber across the
slip. and before the hremen arrived the
entire ore dock, hall mile long. was
in flames. An engine was run on the
tramway as near to the fire as possible
and half hundred men began tearing
apart the timbers connecting the tram
way and the dock to keep it from fall
ing with the dock. Suddenly the dock
gave way. falling with a crash and car
rying with it 200 feet OF the tramway,
the engine just barely escaping the fall
into the bay.
Several hundred people were under
the tramway; but most Of them escap-
ed with slight injuries. AS the broken
tramway and the burning dock fell at
least dozen men were seen to 60
down into the ruins. The wreck fell
into 20 feet OF water, and it will be i'm
possible to recover the bodies for
sometime. A large force of men is en-
gagged in an effort to recover the re-
mains of the dead fremen.

The making of fireworks involves,
roughly, three processes, making the
"cases"-the paper tubes and shells;
combining the materials which give
the power and light and color of the
fireworks, and putting the explosive
and Illuminating material into the
cases, which completes the making of
the pyrotechnics. One of the simplest
of all fireworks is the Roman candle,
yet 1t is one of the most dangerous In
the making, according to Leslie's
Weekly. The row Of smallest build
ings in the fireworks village, line OF
tiny shanties not more than ten feet
square, is on the outer edge Of the
odd collection of houses. There Is
room in each for only one man to
work at a time. He stands facing a
small window with door behind him.
On his right is shelf loaded with
powder aid other inflammatory sub
stances which are component parts OF
the candle. On his left are the empty
tubes of hard, stiff paper and the
shells for the candles. In front of him
is the deadly machine at which he
works.

Curse Said to Rest on
POsseSSOr Of Diamond.

The large diamond which Mr.. Kru.
ger took with him when he left South
Africa has a very curious history. It
originally belonged to Meshhesh, a
Basuto chief, from whom it was ex-
torted by T'Chaka, the Zulu king.
T'Chaka's brother killed him and stole
It. The brother came to grief, and
the gem passed into the possession Of
q Zulu chief, who soon afterwards
was assassinated. The natives say
that no less than sixteen of the sue
cessive possessors of the diamond
either were killed or driven out of the
country. The diamond was then seen
by white men, who set out to get It.
A party of whites attacked the natives
who had the stone and a fierce fight
ensued, in which 300 lives, mostly ma
tive, were lost.
Memela, a native chief, took the
gem and concealed it in a wound
which he had received in battle. Az
forwards Memela was caught by the
Beers and set to work as slave. Kru-
ger, hearing his story, released him,
and in gratitude Memela gave the
stone to his liberator. Some years
passed and then Kruger shared the fate
