Owing to the overproduction OF btu

have been reduced rs cents ton, and for
the lower. 10 cents a ton.
The overproduction was due to an ex-

The restriction of operations in the iron

caused the demand to slacken, with re-

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased 20 learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able TO cure in al its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls CataTrh Cure Is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
disease, requires a constl-
tutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease. and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much

pickNyicks In LIVERY.

The dignity of some fat coaehmen
in New York is very impressive. Their
development is outlined distinctly by
their coats. They have swelled steadily
and persistently year after year, and
every now and then the coats have
been let out and the buttons moved 10
accommodate increasing inches of
girth. A coachman's figure has a great
deal TO do with his success. The at
tempts of fat men 10 look lean some
times verge on the humorous. They
hold their heads high to escape the
imputation of obesity and puff out their
chests heroically. But with all their
hauteur pomposity and pretentious
bearing they look only like very fat
men in tight clothes. reminiscent of

TWO TON BLACKFISH.
A school That Was Driven Ashore
at Cape Cod.

One day in November, several years
ago the good people living on the
Massachusetts bay shore at the north
end of Cape Cod were wrought 10 the
highest pitch of excitement by the ar
rival of an immense school of black
fish which were on the fats chasing
bait, as the small fish they feed on are
called, and gradually working inshore.
The news spread Ike wildhre. Vii
lage stores were hastily closed. school
boys deserted schoolrooms, and even
women flocSed TO the shore. The flats
along the coast make out from half 10
mile and a half practically level and
almost dry at low tide where at high
tide Is four to eight feet of water. No
school of blackfsh so large as this had
ever been heard of And by good luck
the tide was ebbng.
Hastily the boats were launched,
each taking a half dozen men and
boys, those not rowing being armed
with sticks and pieces of board. In a
quarter of an hour they were in posi-
ton in half circle and TO leeward of
the fish
"Close in now" came from the com
modore," "and make all the noise you
cam And they did, fairly churning
the water with boards and sticks The
thousands of squid and herring ON
which the blackfish were feeding as
sisted in this movement by getting in.
to shoal water as far as possible SO
that the blackfish could not follow
them. The result was inevitable. The
fast ebbing tide soon began to leave
the big fish in such shoal water that
1t was difficult for the larger ones TO
swim. Gradually the circle of boats
drew nearer and nearer, and in two
hours 90 per cent of the entire school
was stranded on the flats. For weeks
after the villagers were engaged in
cutting up and trying out the oil. The
total catch netted some $4,000 many
of the fish weighing two tons apiece
