Prepared for the City
Markets Cutters Who
Arc Distinguished for
Their RdDid Work. :. :.

THE post-Lenten season seems a
most propitious time for review
ing the fish industry, inasmuch as
no season Of the year brings this par
ticuIar trade more forcibly into ones
notice, There will be, no doubt, that
portion OF humanity who. for obvious
reasons. will not care to hear about fish
for many days to come. But the indI-
viduaI whose tendency is to probe into
things and widen the sphere of his in
formation. will be interested to know
the method of bringing the sea food to
this city and its distribution
When one hears of river Iandings-that
is, in Washington-one has visions of
the attractive steamers that carry
crowds of pleasure seekers down the
Potomac summer evenings. where a ride
on the erry-go-round or a dash down
the chute affords keen enjoyment and
takes ones mind from the cares and
worries OF existence. So far does the
knowledge and interest of the ordinary
person carry him. However, from the
decks Of those same steamers as they
back out into the stream over toward the
fats. there can be seen toward the west
ward line of masts shooting up into
the sky and giving the river front the
appearance of commercialism, rarely ap-
piled to the Capital OF the United
States
This maze of shafts means the cen
ter Of local fish trade. It is here that
the fish are brought from the Potomac
River and from here shipped through
Maryland, Virginia and the surrounding
country.
A Visit to the Fish Wharf.
a visit to the fish wharf is not only
productive of interest, but of much val
liable information as well. One walks
through long sheds onto the wharf sur
rounded by numerous vessels of differ
ent sizes and pattern. These are the
boats used IN hauling.
The scene about the wharf IS one of
picturesque interest. People from Wash
ington travel South and 80 into eestasies
over the cotton fields and the scores OF
darky pickers. Log cabins, tobacco car
ing, and other features Of Southern life
are OF absorbing moment to them. yet
10 the eye none of these Is more novel
than the scene TO be viewed on the fish
wharves every day of the week.

sorted and given over to the army of
cleaners employed on the wharf. Strange
as it may seem, a proficient cleaner
stands a far better chance of getting
rich than does the average Government
clerk The quickest of these is enabled
to earn $40 and S12 day, according to
the rapidity with which they work Two
good cleaners can easily prepare 5000
fish in two hours It mystiaes and at
the same time fascinates one to watch
the manipulation of the fish knife. In
the twinkling OF an eye the head of the
fish Is cut Off. the body slit and cleaned
and another one in the mans hand
When a basket is filled with the clean
ed fish they are dumped into a large
tub. a hose turned on them. and a man
with mop rinses them thoroughly. They
are then sent into the shed set apart for
sailing and packing. and in less than 10
time are ready for shipment
A Scene of Activity.
The scene about the wharf Is one Of
continual activity. From early in the
morning until the DAYS work is done
everything is hustle and hustle. Every
man Is assigned to a specific duty and
there are several overseers to see that
no one neEIects his work. 1t is happy
crowd. and one hears sallies OF all kinds
passed along the line and through the
crowd. Th5 cleaners sit about on the
floor OF the wharf and while their hands
work with marvellous rapidity their
tongues keep pace and # IS a con-
.stant chatter

New School Laws.

of Public Schools distributed forty
thousand copies of the revised
school law. No revision has been
made since and few changes have
been made affecting the general
operation Of the schools.
There is a demand now for
copies of the law, and fifty thousand
copies of a revision for 1903 will be
ready for distribution in May.
The last General Assembly did
not pass any bill affecting the
schools generally that will take
effect before June 20. Below are
given the changes recently made:
City, town and village school
boards must select repositories for
their money as county repositories
are selected.
When county supervision is
adopted the county commissioner
elect becomes superintendent.
When a city, town or village dis
trict is divided by county lines the
part in either county cannot with
draw as may be done in rural dis
tricts.
Money derived from sale of
bonds may be used to purchase sites
as we'll as to erect buildings.
Any school district having 200
children by enumeration may organ
ize with six directors, provide a
high school and as many district or
ward schools as are necessary to ac-
commodate all children.
Authority is given to the State
Superintendent to classify high
schools and prescribe minimum re-
quirements and compels higher edu-
cational institutions to credit pupils
with work done in such school in
any approved subjects. Its object
is to provide complete articulation
of the entire public school system.
Teachers certificates shall be re-
issued without examination and
without fee-third grade once,
second grade twice and first grade
unlimited number of times so long
as the holder continues to teach or
to attend approved summer.schools.
When an applicant for certificate
fails to complete or pass on all sub
jects at a regular examination he
may have a second trial without adj
ditional fee. This does not apply
to special examinations and limits
the trial to a second and prohibits
a third.
The law requiring a summer IN
s%titute is repealed and a three days
meeting is substituted. The fees
that have been used to pay expenses
of the institute must be set aside to
pay expenses of the fall meeting.
Full explanation of the operation
of all these will be given in the
laws which will be ready for distri-
button about May /. This will
give everyone an opportunity to be
informed before they take effect.
Let every annual meeting pro
vide for library. The law says
that not less than FIVE cents pei
child shall be spent for library.
This is important and must not be
neglected. An excellent test of
teacher is how wisely he can use
few library and supplementary
books.

MISSOURl's WAR GOVERNOR.
Rebel Obituary on Claib Jackson.

Prom the Little Rock True Democrat.
DIED.-In the vicinity of Little
Rock, on Saturday, the 9th day of
December 1862, Claiborne F..
jackson, Governor of the State of
Missouri. The disease of which he
died was the cancer of the stomach,
from which he has been a sufferer
for the last twenty years. He was
confined to his bed for six weeks
before his death, and during the
last week was cheered by the
presence of his family, who ar
rived here some ten days since.
Governor jackson was born in
Fleming county, KY, on the 4th
day of April, 1907, and when
eighteen years of age emigrated to
Missouri, where he made his home.
In the war with the Indians on the
the frontier he raised a volunteer
company and served as captain.
He was afterwards elected to the
Legislature of Missouri, both as
Representative and Senator for
ten or twelve terms, and was
Speaker of the House for a term.
During the session of 194S, the
famous "Jackson resolutions"
were passed by the Legislature of
Missouri, named after their author,
and saved the State from political
thraldom.
Governor Jackson was also the
author of the system of banking
IN Missouri was bank commission
err for a long time, and connected
with these institutions since their
adoption. In 1860 he was elected
Governor over all opposing fac
tons.
He was a man of energy and
ability, a States Right Democrat
of the Calhoun school, and a
natural hater of tyrants. His re-
ply to Cameron, and his unwearied
exertions to secure for his beloved
Missouri a place in the Confed-
eracy, and to break the shackles
with which her fair limbs are
bound, are known to us all. He
lived and died a patriot.

NEGLECT WAS CRIMINAL.

grinding feed was in operation on the
farm Of Frederick Rocker, in Deuel.
county, on January 16 last, the boiler
exploded, almost instantly killing AL
bert Klemm, who was acting as fire.
man of the engine.
1t is said the old engine had been
considered unsafe for years, but not
outstanding this Rocker purchased it,
and after making a few repairs fired
It up for grinding feed. Since the ac-
,ldent mutterings in reference to Rock
sr's carelessness IL using the engine
have day by day grown louder among
ais nelghbors, who a few days ago sue
seeded in inducing the coroner to
an investigation.
After an exhaustive examination the
Jury returned a verdict holding Rock
sr responsible for the death OF Klemm,
Ind his arrest followed. He furnished
bonds for his appearance at the next

It is believed a suit for damages in
addition to the criminal charge will be
instituted against Rocker, and the in
LEGATIONS are that there is considerable
litigation ahead as the result OF the
filing of Klemm.
