ALL HONOR FOR FUSHIMI
BY W. T. MANNING.

Washington, November 5.-Washing- tons eccentric millionaire, Dr. Leroy M.
 Taylor. who died recently, was one of the oldest characters of this city. For q number of years Dr. Taylor made his home in an impregnable and fortified castle" in the heart of an alley in north west Washington. He was a man of great wealth, and of refinement and edu- cation, yet he chose to make his home during the latter years of his life next door to a stable and in a narrow court, inhabited mainly by negroes. The "cas- tle," which is two stories in height has an exterior as grim as a mad house. It is protected from intruders by heavy sheet iron doors and windows and iron bars protect every aperture. Inside are luxuriousy furnished chambers, contain ing costly furniture and one of the most unique and valuable libraries in the country. Among the trophies are many from India, where the former owner had spent much time in the study of the mustic religions of the east and many of the articles would attract none but man of peculiar sensibilities and discrim- mating taste. The library was be- queathed to the Scottish Rits Masons of this city and a large bequest was left for the benehl of the Lutheran Home, but owing to complications in the will it may be some time before the estate is settled.

HOW coDFIsH ARE CAUGHT.
Travis With 5000 Hooks 5aited in
 Day and Left Over Night.
le Booklovers Magazine.

From the Booklovers Magazine.
 Codfshing is done with dories and travis The dories are flat bottomed sloping sided boats, which fit into one another in the ships waist, economizing space thereby.
 Each dory takes two men, and the whole crew, except the captain and the cook, go off in them every suitable day and set the travis in the water outward from the ship, like spokes from the hub of q wheel. Travis are long lines each with 5000 hooks attached at intervals of a yard, every hook baited with some smaller fish. either herring, caplin, or squid that the cod affects. The travis are anchored at each end, baited in the day, left lying over night, and are strip ped of their accumulation of fish next morning, being baited again when "over- hauled"
 The fish are taken to the vessels in the dories, eviscerated, washed, and salted. This routine continues until the bait is exhausted and then the vessel returns home, lands the fish, takes more bait and salt and goes out again. At St. Pierre her catch is taken in hand by the graviers and women, who submerge 1t in crates ullLll lHt salt lldS DceD NdS0eu OH. | Htn they scrub each fish with a hard coarse brush. and pile them in heaps to drain. This done, they are next spread on the beaches to dry in the sunlight and air. The beaches consist of several acres of fiat ground covered with basalt stones worn round by the motion of the sea for ages.
 These stony fields surround St. Pierre, and thousands of cod are displayed there on a fine day. Every evening. or if fog or rain threatens. the fish are gath cred up again and covered with tarpau- lins. The process is repeated until the fish are quite dry and hard. Dry fish are piled in round stacks. the rest in oblong ones. When sufficient quantity to load a vessel is obtained. it Is packed into her hold and shipped to market. The extent of the codfishing of Miquelon and St. Pierre may be indicated by the record of the catch of those islands in 1902, which was 72, 800 GOO pounds

FrarNIln's Picture Brought Out.

Benjamin Franklins portrait has at last been brought out of the obscurity a t the postoffice department and now the face of the first postmaster general is almost the first object thal attracts the attention of the visitor to the present postmaster general. The collection of portraits in the office of the postmaster general and in the ante room adjoining is a weird one. There are about thirty five of them and some of them are bad enough to be called, at the best, carica- lures and of the collection only two are approved by artists. These are the DOT traits of the late postmaster general Wilson and Bssell The portraits of the

The portrait of the late Post master General Payne has not yet been received In the Treasury pictures or former secretaries may be found in the office of Secretary Shaw, and in the dark corridors safely hidden from the eye. There is said to be in the building an excellent portrait of Alexander Hamilton the author of American finance, but in- quiry was made concerning it recently and not a single person in the secretary office was able to locate 1t.

More Pay for Musicians.

Brigadier General Elliott command ant of the marine corps is tryi.es to se- cure better pay for the members of the marine band. This is rendered necessary, it is claimed, because of the opposition of the musical unions who have by their opposition prevented the band from se- curing any outside engagements upon which they formerly depended to equal ize their earnings with those of civil life. General Elliott suggests that the leader be given the pay and allowances of d captain In the corps, the second leader the pay and allowance or second lieutenant and the first and second class musicians be paid $10O and $75 a month respectively. It is thought by many if the change in pay is not made that many of the best musicians now in the band will not re-inlist a the end of their term and it will be difficult to supply the vacancies with limited pay that is now allowed.

DISPENSARY MADE TO PAY.
Revenue Department Collects Whole
sale License and Penalty.

Acting under the direction Of Collec-
tor E. c. Duncan, Deputy j. P. H.
Adams yesterday collected from the
Raleigh Dispensary $41.6S as whole
sale government license from Septem-
Der to July, 1905, and penalty Of
S20.84 for failure to take out license
as wholesale dealer in malt liquors
before selling beer by the barrel.
This action grew out of the error
neous publication in the Morning Post
OF Friday to the effect that a restau-
rant keeper had bought barrel of
beer from the DiSpensary and was
selling it over his counter at twenty
cents a bottle
Under the government law, the sale
of as much as a barrel of beer con-
stitutes a wholesale, hence the action
of the revenue authorities.
When confronted with the law and
asked for license from Thursday until
July and the penalty provided for nom
conformance with the law, Manager
Bachelor not only promptly agreed to
pay the amount demanded, but stated
that if the dispensary had violated the
law by selling beer in barrels, the Ii
cenSe and penalty should be estimated
from September goth, when the first
wholesale transaction occurred, instead
of from the date of the Denton Incl
dent, and the matter was adjusted on
that basis.
The government license is $50 a
year, figured from July LIST; the Dis
pensary paid eight and a fraction
months, or $41.6S, and also the pen
atty provided for selling without IL
cense, which is one half of the tax, or
in this case $20.84.
