DEATH 1u 1T. ; DoGFISH.
Government Aid to Be Sought for It E Determination on the Att
 lantic Coast.

One of the great problems which is interesting the people of the Atlantic
 coast, and especially that part of the coast lying between Casco bay. Me, and Cape Hatteras, N. O., is the extermina- tion of the dogfish. The dogf1sh, says the Boston Transcript, is a species of the shark and has habit of following it's prey in packs. The fish uses it's spine in a remarkable manner, bending itself into the form of a bow, and unbending with powerful spring. It is caught in nets which have ben set for other fish, and sometimes measures three or four feet in length. These fish have mul- tiplied very much of late, and as noth- ing has been done to exterminate them, the people of the Atlantic coast have thought it their duty to bring the mat ter before the government in the form of a petition which will be placed before congress Dogfish, the sea wolves of the ocean, infest the Atlantic coast within a great range of latitude in schools, and each dogfish, which weighs five pounds, will, 1t is estimated, eat and destroy a large quantity Of edible food fish yearly. Not only do the dogfish eat the valuable foodflsh, but they eat the food of the same food fish, thus doing double injury to the nations fisheries.

PHARAoH's CORN A FAKE.
European scientiats and Jourmalfstm Find Thut They Have Been
 Hoaxed.

Some time ago there was wonderful story in the European journals about certain grains of ancient Egyptian corn which had been planted in Germany and had come to life.
 The grains, they said, had been found In an Egyptian sarcophagus and had been planted by a Dresden florist Some days later the corn appeared above ground, much to the surprise of scien- tists, who did not suppose that there was any life in grains which were from 4,000 to 5000 years old. The corn, how ever. was certainly growing, and even the most incredulous among them soon became convinced that grains have a lease of life to which there Is practical ly no limit.
 Alas! A boy employed by the Ores den florist has now confessed that he planted some other grains in the same place where his master had planted the Egyptian ones, and only few hours after the florist completed his work This was sad news for the scientists and for the numerous journalists who had written enthusiastically about the mirac- ulous qualities Of the ancient grains of corn.

na1ly his father came and spoke to him and then he came down, still in dazed condition. He did rot fully recover consciousness until he had been taken home and put to bed. He then had but a dim consciousness of his experience
 All the circumstances indicate that he rose from bed early in the morning, put on his working clothes. took three books under his arm, and long knife used in cutting ferns, and started for the woods. where he cut a quantity of ferns and carried them to where be was found by the native
 When startled by the shout of the latter he still kept his books under his arm and his knife in his hand, and climbed the cocoanut palm to the top, distance of 40 or 50 feet, difficult feat to perform even to the natives with their hands free
 The boy was never known to walk in his sleep before, but is supposed to have been suffering from nervousness. following an attack of fever. One of the most surprising features of the in cident is that the boy had never climbed q scocoanut palm before

Card From Ur. Paul E. Eve.

Our attention has just recently been
called to an article in your Issue of
April 26th. in which in an interview
of Your reporter with DR.. H. E.
Thomas of Mccain, Tenn, our insti-
tuition has been placed in false light
before the public. Both DR.. Thomas
and DR.. Sharber graduated from our
Medical Department on April 4th,
1904. and both of these gentlemen ac-
Quilted themselves with credit in their
final examination upon the practical
branches. before our Faculty; but on
account of these gentlemen being
students of the Sewanee Medical Col
lege and not having taken their final
examination upon our fundamental
branches at the fixed time when these
examinations occurred; by rule of
our Faculty made two years ago, they
could not be contestants for honors.
AS TO DR.. Sharber's position now at
the City Hospital, the facts are these ::
Our first honor man, DR.. Miller, ac-
copied the position of Inferno Mt the
City Hospital, but short time after
accepting this duty, he was compelled
to resign the place was then open for
our second honor man, DR.. McMullen,

for his home in Texas and thus could

PitIsburc Men Arrive IN Nashville to
Hold a DIRECTORS and Stock
holders Meeting.
Special to the Herald.

Nashville. May 9.-Seve1al of the
promoters of the Gallatin Interurban
Electric Railway arrived from Pitts
burg Sunday night. Those IN the
marty are: Vice President a. NJ.
Gross. President J. H. Conner, L.. ..
Johnson. a member of the directorate,
and Thos. j. Hawkins, capitalist
interested in the road. Mr. conner
stated that the party was here to look
over the situation. and that NUMBER
of other capitalists interested in the
propOsed road would be in the city
about the middle of this week when
directors and stockholders meeting
would be held to arrange plans FOR
the construction of the road.
It is learned that the delay IN the
construction of the road is caused by
the unwillingness of the capitalists,
who have subscribed the necessary
funds. to finance the enterprise, TO
mt up the cash until after it is ascer-
tanned whether the franchise granted
the road by the city of Nashville VIII
he extended. This franchise expires
next September and, it is said that
the promoters Will not proceed with the
undertaking until after some action
with respect to an extension OF the
time limit is taken by the City Coun-
Gil. Assurances have been given that
all the money necessary TO finance the
road is in sight and that at the ensuing
meeting definite action will be taken
toward beginning the work OF con
structiOn.
