Young Girl Commits Suicide.

A dispatch from Camden yesterday
says: One of the saddest tragedies
that ever occurred in Kershaw county
took place Monday evening at the home
of S. Tiller, formerly of Tiller's Ferry,
now residing few miles west of Cam
den. Leila, one of his twin daughters,
aged Ii years, it is alleged, had an alter
cation with her brother, for which their
father chastised them both. The girl
took the punishment 80 to heart that she
procured some strychnine and ended her
life. She was pupil of the Camden
graded school and her death was shock
to her schoolmates and teachers, who
had last seen her Monday morning.

CATCHING TROPICAL FISHES.
Captured in Bermuda Waters ano

Captured in Bermuda Waters auo

Collecting of tropical fishes for va
rious aquariums throughout the world,
and especially for the New York
aquarium, is now a recognized indus.
try in the Bermudas. 1t is carried on
at all seasons, though for obvious rea-
sons the fish are shipped north only
in the summer months. AS there are
more than $50 varieties of fish in Ber-
mudan waters, and every variety is
found in abundance, 1t is not a diff
cult problem to secure good specimens.
Only a few varieties reach New York,
according to the Post of that city, for
the reason that tropical fish, as a rule,
are unable to stand the trials of trans.
portation. The ones on exhibition are
the finest that can be caught.
The native fishermen go far and
wide In search of specimens, for the
aquarium will pay only for the best.
Possibly the most voracious fish they
have to deal with are the groupers
and morays. The groupers have pc
culiar habits. During the month of

are ready to bite at anything, from
a bare hook to a live dog.
The home of the spotted moray is
among the coral reefs, but the green
moray lives in deep water. The lat.
ter is exceedingly powerful, with a
law as strong as a steel trap. 10
bring a green moray ashore without
doing it serious injury is no easy
task, for it fights like a boa constructor
when taken out of the water. One of
the earliest specimens captured for
the aquarium bit a large piece from
the end of a two-inch board before
It was subdued.
Not many tropical fish are as Zero
eious as the moray, but most of the
larger varieties are truly sporting fish.
The hogfish. club and Dream are par.
ticularly game, and always fight to a
finish. The fishermen sometimes go
far beyond the outer line of reefs to
secure the rockfish and red snappers.
Their boats are provided with wells
for preserving the catch, and the fish,
although the confinement weakens
them, invariably regain their strength
when put into the reserve ponds al
the aquarium station.
