SAYS a Herald dispatch from Dunkirk'
N. Y.
Drastic measures are to be used by
the captains of 20 fishing tugs of this
port to protect themselves from the cap

ago captured and towed to Port Co

Although secrecy is being maintained
it has become known that several of
the captains are preparing to meet the

Dixon, III, August H.--Judge Peter

lief that In the supervision Of monop-
olies by the government lies the only
hope for the perpetuation of the AM

warning against the manipulation OF
securities In the interest of unscrupul-
Gus promoters and spectators.

last few years the deposits il savings

TO $40, 900, ,000, 900 sinister rather than
sanguine meaning was traced, the
Judge declaring that under normal con-
dItions this vast amount would have
been invested by the laboring classes,
but that IT was lying idle because po-
lite swindlers and high-up rascals were
able 10 subvert the laws and give TO
stocks value hat they do not really
possess.
we can never go back to the days of
our boyhood," said the speaker. but we
can go back 10 the days when the man
with $40 lid not have to hoard il or
entrust 1t to his neighbor for safekeep-
ing. but could put it into industries,
sure that II would return with earnings.
What should be done? Change the
laws so that no set of men can organ
ize corporation except on a strict le-
gal basis. Then put 1t under such sup
ervision as the National banks are sub
ject to, and believe, that little by lit
tie, this immense boarding in the saw

trickling into ownership again.

Royal Chinooks can move leis-

The close Of the season has been some
what spectacular. especially the eli.
max which was marked by new run of
fish, the quality and quantity being re-
,narkably good. All of yesterday tine
boats came In from the seining ground
with immense hauls and the gillnetters
were amply rewarded for the assidu-
Gus manner in which they applied them
selves 70 the work OF gathering in the
offspring OF the genus salmo. Every
body was satisfied. which is saying a
great deal sometimes. and no regrets
were heard yesterday from any source
that the season cannot be extended.
Neither canerymen, coldstorage men or
fishermen deny that the fish being
caught now are slightly inferior to the
run at the beginning of the season, and
as all have done well everything con-
sidered. there is manifest a feeling Of
general gladness that the close Of the
season has been reached.

Wolves are common on the steppes of Russia, and the finest dogs are not ex- empt from hunting them. Although, according to Captain Charles G. Treat U. s. A., in hunting jack rabbits and coyotes in Kansas the Borzoi in tack ling put their fore legs out of danger and slide up to their quarry, pushing themselves along on their chest with their hind legs, their head protruding and snapping In snake-like fashion. The hounds of Russia are not taught to kill. There the method of hunting is in connection with pack of fox hounds, which drive the wolves from the woods. The hunters and the Borzoi are waiting, twenty making a hunt. The Borzoi are held in couples, like greyhounds, on the leash, which are slipped when the wolf breaks cover, the hunters following on horseback When the first Borzoi gains the wolf he knocks it over with his shoulder, and the pack worries it until the first of the riders gets to the scene and kills the wolf with a thrust from his long Caucasian dagger.--New York Sun.

 Last winter a theater party of 30 or 40 exclusive society people was having a little supper at the Waldorf Astoria. They had been to see an actor of ex- ceptional talent, man, too, of undoubt- ed breeding, who prided himself on his honorable family. This actor was a guest at the supper.

AR1sTocRAcY A STATE OF PuRs.

ARIsToCRACY A STATE OF PURSE
 Enlightened Americans once had more or less of a creed that aristocracy was a state of mind; of late years it has come to mean state of purse. We see to-day in New York a fashionable society which has no place for states men, authors, scientists, editors, unless they are very rich. Newport is still more frank in this rigorous exclusion. The multi-millionaire set each summer ignores the naval officers as their ships lie in the harbor. Even President Roosevelt was suffered to visit the place without official recognition; in spite of his high and ancient lineage, he is not rich enough to be in the social swim. Once 1t happened that Speaker Thomas B. Reed, while at the climax of his power, when he was perhaps the most notable statesman in America, was on a friends yacht in Newport Harbor. That night social function was going on at house where MT. Reed was known and honored, but an invitation

The wife of a Virginia clergyman tells her coffee story thus: "one year ago was a wreck, only able to be up a part of the time and dragging myself around the house.
 My skin looked like a dead hickory leaf, no appetite, weight 112 pounds, no energy, and suffered most of the time with most dreadful headaches or nervous chills or spasms and could not bear the least excitement.
 At one time my left hand was drawn sF to my shoulder and for nine days could not be moved away. and often laid for six to eight weeks under the care of our best physicians.

YALE MAINS QUEST FOR PURE
 BRED ANIMALS.

Kennels of Russian Grand nnke
 Opened to Him-Czar's Dogs Not of
 the Best-ModeI Farm for Breeding
 Located at simsbnry.
 After taking his sheepskin at Yale last June, J. B. Thomas, Jr., set out for Russia on a quest for the pure type of Borzoi, or Russian wolfhound. As one of the band of Yale students who con- duct in simsbury, Conn, on practical lines the model Valley Farm for the breeding of fine, poultry and dogs and the training of hunters and ponies, MT. Thomas has made speciality of the Borzoi, and his kennel contains some of the most noted bench show winners in the country. The specimens in this country, the more study he gave to the lacking in uniformity of type, and he journeyed abroad to learn what the breeders at the fountain head would call the true sort. As a result, three dogs just from Russia were exhibited by MT. Thomas at the Brooklyn show last week, where, although differing in ,, many ways from what had been deemed the standard here, they won everything in their classes, while two, Bistri and Sorva, won the cup for the best brace of sporting dogs benched. MT. Thomas, who was captain of the track team at Yale, was accompanied abroad by George Goss of the football team. The English kennels were first visited, the most noted dogs being found of coarse aspect, the htads show ing prominent stops, while nearly all had almost straight hind legs unfit for a running dog. As a class, the Borzois varied as much in type as those in this country.
 At St. Petersburg MT. Thomas discov- cred one reason for the lack of type in the Englishand American kennels, for, in visiting the imperial kennels at Cat china, which has sent more dogs abroad than any other, no distinct type was to be seen. In fact, the collection was Q "weedy" one in every way, and, after such a long journey, great disappoint- ment to the American, Other kennels near St. Petersburg proved to be equal l ly disappointing in results. The trav- elers were then advised to make the | long journey to the kennels of the Grand Duke Nicolai Nicolaivitch and of MT. and Mrs. Artem Boldareff. To reach these kennels the tourists had to start from Moscow, and after an over night journey they arrived at Tula, a town some hundreds of versts to the southward, from which three hours ride on troikts across the steppes brought them to Porchina, where the kennels are situated. | THE IDEAL DOG.
 1 Here MT. Thomas found the ideal dag that he had been searching for, the re- alization of his dreams. At Porchina the dogs were white to dark tan in col or, none beig black, and the entire col- lection was of the one sort and this sort marked advance on anything that MT. Thomas had ever seen. He found similar dogs at the kennels of

NEW YORK A PLEASURE-GROUND
 -t FOR OUTSIDERS.

Here is an interesting comment from the outside upon recent municipal oc- currences in this city,. A correspondent writes: q am much interested to ob- serve that no one seems to realize the real reason why reform doesn't go in New York. There is little rnilliner in Blankville who goes to New York once a year to do her shopping. She blows herself off to the theatre. An opera in Cleveland < wouldn't do her half the good. Ben writes me that he is going to take ten days off and go to New York te have his hair cut What rich man who would do something rash ever thinks of blowing in his money at home? He always waits till he can go to New York, and while that town is the receptacle for the money spent in selfindulgence and vice by a large part of the American community, there will always be too much profit in wrong-do- ing to permit of reform It is true, as this correspondent points out, that New York is the pleasure ground of avast number of people who do not live here, and that the problem of keeping order and promoting righteousness on Man haitian island includes not only the regulation of the folk whose homes are here, or whose work is here, but of a great multitude of visitors; and it is true, too, that an important proportion of the visitors come here seeking pleas- ure and are not disposed to take 1t sad ly. But still 1t is the voters, not the visitors, who determine the character of the town. We never heard of a reform administration that made the town so good that the visitors stayed away.
 Cleaning the streets doesn't scare visf- tors off. Closing the gambling houses would displease some visitors, but not very many. The lawful gayeties of the town-the theatres and restaurants and the like-and the shops and streets are ample to attract visitors, and the law full profits of entertaining them are am- ple. too. Of course the tribute from vice is worth collecting, and of course it is vastly greater because of the patronage that comes from out of town, but it is not great enough to demoralize the town and determine the quality of its government provided the voters are getting what they want. We don't think the desire for a wickeder New York carried the late election. The milliner from Blankville finds 1t quite as reviving this fall as when Van Wyck was Mayor, nor need Ben be bored minute while his hair IS being cut.-Har- per's Weekly.

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC
May Change Winter Service from St.
John to Boston.

st. John. n. B., Oct. 23.-G. A. Bos-
worth fourth vice president of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, said here,
TODAY. that the company's plans may be
changed and instead of running three
lines of steamers from st. John to
British ports, this winter, two of them
NAV be operated from Boston instead.
Mr.. Rosworth was here to arrange
about berths. What caused him to talk
this way was that a difficulty has aris-
Ell about getting the wharf accommo-
dation which the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way wants here The Canadian Pacific
Railway proposed to run a line of
steamers weekly from this port to Liv-
erpool, another to Bristol. and a third
to London and Antwerp. The two lat
ter are new ventures following on the
recent acquisition of the Elder-Demp-
ster Co steamers by the Canadian Pa
cific Railway.
The Canadian Pacific applied to the
st. John board of works for Nos. and
harbor berths here for the business of
these three lines. The civic board, how
ever, granted them but one-No. 3
berth, and gave No. to the Donaldson
Line of GLASGOW steamers. Consent,
however, was given to an arrangement,
if one could be made by the Canadian
Pacific Railway and the Dominion gov
ernnent, Donoldson's to take the In
tercolonial terminal and give up No. 4
to the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Mr. BOsworth returned to Montreal,
this afternoon. He said he would see
the Donaldson management and
thought the arrangement talked of
could be made. But if it is not" said
Mr. Boswirth. then the Canadian Pa
cific Railroad will operate only the
Liverpool service from ST. John and
will run the Bristol and London Ant :
werp service from some other port
likely Boston. We will be compelled to
do this" he said. for We can't handle
the business of three steamship lines at
one wharf"
