HAHNE & CO.'S GRAND CHRISTMAS BAZAAR, NEWARK

with the open portion facing upstream.
When in this shape it makes two traps.
When only one is to be built, the shape
Is a "V," with the open portion up
stream. A framework of planks is
then built around these stakes. At the
two lower tips of the wv" a small open
irg is left, which is later occupied by the
trap itself, This is usually made OF lat
tice work, built either rectangular or
rounded, and with the lower end Of a
larger diameter than the upper. From
the sides Of the mouth long laths run
back into the trap, until they almost
meet in the center, leaving only a mar
row opening about four or five inches in
diameter between the ends Of the laths.
During certain seasons of the year the
cells migrate down stream to Lake On
tario. and thence to the ocean, and it
is then that the fishermen reap their
harvest. When the eel reaches the side
wall it follows slowly along this until
it finds a narrow opening which seems
to present a way Of escape; but upon
~wriesling along it a few feet, it finds it.
self in the large end Of the trap, with 70
means of escape.
For many years each iehcrman did all
his own work, from the making of the
trap to the marketing Of the product;
but a few years ego the trust fever
seized even them. and they held a meet
ing and decided that they would com
bine; hence there is now only smoke
house among them all, while the finished
product is sold ard the money equally
divided, whether the fisherman catches
one eel or 900. In this way the losses
and profits are divided in the same pro-
portion.
All the cells caught are smoEed, none
being. sold fresh. AS soon as brought
ashore they are split from the head tc
the vent and the viscera removed. The
head and skin are then taken off, after
which the eeIs are immersed in n strong
brine for "a hours. On removal from
the brine, they are washed with stiff
brushes to remove the slime and sur
plus salt. They are then strung or iron
or steel rods, ard are hun In the smoke
house. A hot fire of kindlings and
later of corn cobs is first used in cooling
them, after which the fire is covered
with sawdust, which partially smothers

must be exercised during the early
stages, for if the heat becomes too great,
the fish will curl out Of shape. Smoked
cells keep a shorter length of time than
almost any other smoked fish, from five
to twelve days being about the limit;
hence they must be marketed as o as
possible after being removed from the
smokehouses.
The Caughdenhoy fishermen drive to
Syracuse with their smoked cells, ard
find a ready market for all they can pos
sibly bring in. They are unable to ex-
pand their business, howevtr, as they
find it more and more difficult each year
to secure enough to supply the local de-
mand. Last year was very poor from
a financial standpoint. while this year,
so far, has been even worse. owing to the
excessively high water which has pre-
vailed in the river.

Now that Robert Davis, who con

has declared for Judge Parker. of
New York, for President and the Re-

Roosevelt, nothing remains but to be-

start the presidential campaign of
1904, but the coming contest IS going
to be one after the Presidents own
heart-very strenuous, and it takes a
good start to get up the momentum.

In considering the request of the
Staten Island Rapid Transit for q new
lease on the site at the foot of Smith
street for ferry purposes, the Commit
tee ON Public Grounds and Buildings
should think carefully before taking
action in the matter. There are two
points, particularly, which should be
borne in mind.
In the first place, twenty-five years
is a long time. At Perth Amboy's
present rate of growth, this will be a
large city by that time and the water
frontage will be q hundred times more
valuable than it is now. An annual
rental of 800 would seem to be pretty
small. OF course the advantages to
be derived from the ferry and i'm
proved Service must be considered,
but will not the Rapid Transit's ad-
vantage be even greater?
Secondly, when granting the lease
the company should be made to sign
an agreement to have the improve
a4-aaisAsa-~asAla4IAsai time,
kay a zeal from next March. This
Mtauld avoid all delay and insure
speedy relief which is badly needed.
Lot tho city fathers give the matter
the careful consideration which is due
it. They are acting for the future
generations and should do nothing for
which the citizens..will be sorry
