Passing Of an Old Time Sport.

light the sport we had when one of thu
numerous mill dams on the small streams
OF the interior was drawn off How We
provided ourselves with wading boots ana
scoop nets, and went thigh-deep into the
subsiding flood scooping up great quantities
of the fish which rushed about bewildered
by the sudden shrinking of the water which
was to them at once refuge and a homo.
Pike, perch, trout, sunfish, carp cells min.
nows and bullfrogs-all was fish that came
to our nets, and we were disappointed If We
did not take two or three bucketfuls apiece
But the sport exists longer in thio
state. The fish laws, under the vigorous ad.
minstration of the state fish commission.
have changed all that. Last week a dam ia
Cambria county was drained and fisherI
mems carnival was arranged for the occae
sion. That 1t was successful and that plenty
of fish were caught is attested by the fate
of the first fisherman who was hailed into
court on a charge of Illegal fishing He had
to pay $93.SS for his days sport, and about
hundred others awaiting their turns
to plead guilty and pay up.

From the Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The Order of the Sulpicians, which NJ
Combes threatens to dissolve because It in
trigued against the bishop OF Dion, was
founded by Father Jean-Jacques Oiier in
1641. 1t exists for the purpose Of providing
seminaries for the education of priests, and
not only possesses twenty-four Summaries,
in which 21O members of the order are en-
gagged in teaching, in various parts of
France, but also controls similar educa-
tional establishments In Montreal, Balti-
more. Washington, New York and San
Francisco The seminaries were closed
during the revolution, but were reopened
through the influence of Father Emery in
1908. The present quarrel arose because
the Sulpicdans endeavored to persuade their
most promising pupils to join a monastic
order and the bishop accused them of ex-
ercsing undue influence in the matter.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Epidemic and the Cure.

Ellington O'Keefe stroiled home one day
only to find a large unw:eldly cask rolled
into his back yard.
What the DEVILS that?" he inquired or
the servants. No one knew 1t was for
him; upon 1t was carefully stenciled his
name and the town OF his address. A team
had drawn up to the sidewalk and two men
had rolled 1t in.
But there's a note they left with 1t,
suggested some one, in on your table"
Ellington O'Keefe stailked in and read the
note 1t was written in lead pencil on a
piece of wrapping paper. 1t read about as
follows:

But are not the European nations fight

factures?''
II would not say that they are fighting
u.s." replied the assistant secretary of state,
but they are doing all they can to manu-
facture for themselves and to compete with
us along the lines of American manufac-
ture. Frederic Emory of this department
called attention to that danger in his Re
view of the Worlds Commerce for 1902,
showing that American factory methods
were being introduced into the machine
shops of Europe, and that the manufactur-
ers there were initiating our labor-saving
machinery and everything else that we
have to bring about economies in the cost
of output. Large American concerns have
established branch plants in different parts
of Europe, and they are now making on
the spot goods of many varieties which
were previously exported from the United
States. The result is that there has been
curtailment along certain lines, but the
exports of manufactures have so grown
that the total is larger than ever. Our
banner year in the export trade was 1900.
but the exports Of this year have exceed
ed those of that time by almost two mil
hon dollars per month.
What kinds of American goods are being
displaced by these foreign manufactures,
Mr. LoGmis?" l asked
Shoes bicycles, machine tools, hardware
and furniture" was the reply. Indeed,
we formerly exported which now being
manufactured in Europe. We still sell
many American shoes in England, but the
English shoe factories have adopted the
more popular American styles and are US
ing American machinery and American
lasts In some of the factories they have
American foremen. In a recent report Con-
sui General Mason of Berlin says that Ger
many is now practically equipped with our
most improved machinery, and that her
mechanics have learned how to operate the
imported machines to their fullest capacity.
They are copying the best of the American
machines. and in some cases improving
upon them. They are also making other
machines along the same lines at a much
lower cost!
Indeed, the imitation and use of Ameri-
can machinery in Germany makes 1t more
and more difficult for American exporters
tools, hardware, furniture. vehicles and
other products than 1t was few years ago
Consul General Mason says the market
is steadily narrowing and growing more
difficult of access. and that this is SO in
almost every branch of American manufac-
ture, with the exception of such things as
typewriters, sewing machines, graphic
phones, monographs, cash registers, me-
chanical musical instruments. dental sup
plies. Office furniture and other American
specialties more or less covered by patents

Our Consuls as Business Agents.

The conversation here turned to the work
of our consuls in pushing American trade,
and l asked Secretary LOomis as to their
standing among the consuls of the world.
Said he:
1.-The efficiency of our consuls as business
agents, is best found in the testimony of
our largest manufacturing and exporting
houses, and In the almost unanimous trib-
ute of foreign trade bodies, journals and
publicists. There is no government which

typhoid fever cases on his farm. The de-

without informing the health department
of his intention and without getting the
necessary permit.
kanode explained the matter by saying
that he got certificate from his physician
to the effect that the fever patients had
recovered, and he did not know it was
necessary for him to have the permit re-
newed. The court, however, informed him
to the contrary and took the action stated.

Suit for Collection of Wages.

Suit has been filed in Magistrate Bundy's
court by fifteen-year-old boy named
Georgos Kavatas against three local mer-
chants for 1925 money alleged to be due
him for one years labor. The defendants
in the suit are Panajotis Chaconas, Geor-
gios Chaconas and Straits Chaconas, pro-
duce dealers The boy alleges that one or
more of the defendants sent $4S to his
father in Greece to pay his fare to this
country. He also alleges that after he had
returned the S4S to his employers he re-
manned in their employ and has not been
paid any salary. A year has elapsed since
he effected a settlement, he alleges, and he
now claims that he is entitled to the
amount mentioned in the suit.
The suit was entered by Attorney Sillers,
