proved at all; it was, IL anything,
bit worse than it had been, and the
worry OF that had clouded our holiday.
We were not in high spirit when finally
we decided 90 break camp the next
afternoon.
Tip had everything ready for our
journey home Each day Gerald had
grown paler and thinner As we
wrapped him in a shawl and tenderly
helped him into the wagon l read his
doom in his face. We saw so much Of
that kind Of thing in our stern climate
we knew what It meant Our fun was
over. We sat in silence. speeding down
the long hills in the fading light Of the
afternoon Those few solemn hours in
which / heard only the wagons rumble
and the sweet calls Of the whippoorwill
waves Of music on a sea Of silence
started me IN way Of thought which
has led me high and low these many
years and still invites me. The day
was near its end when we got to the
first big clearing From the top Of a
high hill we could see above the far
forest the red rim Of the setting sun,
big with winding from the slein OF
day, that was now flying off the tree
tops Ia the west
We stopped to feed the horses and to
take a bite Of jerked venison, wrapped
ourselves warmer, for it was now dusk
and chilly. and went on again. The
road went mostly downhill going out
Of the woods and we could make good
time. IL was near midnight when we
drove in at our gate There was a
light in the sitting room, and Uncle
Eb and went in with Gerald at once.
Elizabeth Brewer knelt at the feet Of
her son, unbuttoned bis coat and took

FIve SUICIDES IN pHlLAOELpHIA
Train Wheels, Pistol and Poison Were
Resorted To.

Philadelphia, April s. - Suffering
from nervous prostration, due, it is
said to the death of her father,
coupled with an extraordinary passion
for music, Miss Mary E. Munce, aged
"a years, threw herself in front of a
freight train near Swarthmore, a
suburb, and was ground to death. Miss
Munce had been undergoing treat
ment in a local hospital, and she was
taken to her uncle's home at Swarth-
more, where she was to stay a short
time while convalescing. She eiuded a
nurse, and the last seen of her she
was walking along the railroad tracks
near Swarthmore A searching party
started after her and while nearing
the woods along the railroad tracks
she was seen to emerge from the
woods, dash down a steep embank-
ment and throw herself in front of a
moving freight train. The engineer did
not have time to stop, and her death
was almost instantaneous.
Five other persons sought death by
suicide in this city, and four Of them
were successful. Rudolph Blanz, IS
years old, shot himself through the
head and died almost instantly. M
reason is known for the deed.
Lewis Enyetkraut, so years Of age
drank a quantity Of disinfectant and
oxalic acid and died before a physi
clan could be summoned. Dreading tC
seek another boarding house is the
only reason assigned for the suicide.
A druggist named John H. Krause
aged AZ, drank chloral and died in q
hospital. He had been drinking heav
lily for some time.
John Holohan, aged about 2S years
threw himself in front of Reading
railway train and died from his in
juries.
Abel X. Cassel, an elderly man, at
tempted suicide by shooting himsel
in the heart. He is not expected t,

'DUN's REVEW OF
TRADE OUTLOON
Recent Gains in Volume OF
Business Are Fully Main
tanned
The COLLECTIONS ARE PROMPT

New York, April S.-R. G. Dun &
60. s Weekly Review of Trade says;
Recent gains in the volume Of busi-
ness are fully maintained, but further
Improvement is somewhat REGARDED by
unfavorable weather in some sections.
Buyers are still arriving at tSe lead
ing cities, placing additionttN spring
orders, and most fall lines that have
been opened are meeting with an en-
couraging reception. Despite occa-
sional requests for extensions, collec-
tions are more prompt on the whole.
Manufacturing returns are all that
could be desired, building operations
expand as the season advances, and
agricultural prospects are better than
normal. There is little friction be-
tween capital and labor, most new
wage scales being arranged on the old
basis, and in some cases advances are
granted. while the number of unem-
ployed is steadily decreasing. Freight
traffic is very heavy, some congestion
occurring. and railway earnings in
March were 9.2. per. cent larger than
last year. Foreign commerce at this
port is very heavy. exports for the last
week exceeding the same week in 1904
by $1,590.7O9, while imports increased
$1,975,2 296.
A general increase of wages at the
plants of the greatest iron and steel
producer is another tangible evidence
of the Improvement in that industry.
New orders are coming forward con-
stantly, and it is probable that the
tonnage Of advance business on the
books now surpasses all previous high
water marks, although there is some
discussion regarding the low prices at
which some of this business was ac-
cepted last fall. Railway equipment
Of all kinds continues to find a ready
market and there is sensational ac-
tivity in structural steel. while ma
chine shops in all parts OF the coun-
try are working at full capacity.
Increased activity is noted in the
hide market. New England footwear
factories are receiving a fair volume
of fall contracts from western and
southern jobbers. but duplicate ship

new has developed in the textile in
dustries. The cotton situation is some
what remarkable. because sicbuyers
make little effort to prepare for the
future, although such scarcity exists
in many lines that not only are pre-
miums paid for prompt delivery, but
poorer quality and short lengths are
often accepted without questioning.
More expert business has appeared.
and it is evident that domestic buyers
of this class Of goods will be comN
PEELED TO resort to much substitution.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 2S2, against 244
last week. 255 the preceding week. andi
235 the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number 2S against
80 last week. 16 the preceding week.

VETOED BY GOV. PENNYPAckER
Bill to Erect Hospitals For consump-
tiVes Disapproved.

Harrisburg. Pa, April S.-Governor
Pennypacker vetoed the Plummer bill
appropriating 100000 for the erection
of two state institutions for the treat
ment of incipient tuberculosis, to be
located within the limits Of the state
forestry reservation, one in the South
Mountain reservation and the other in
Western Pennsylvania, and for the
creation of a board Of trustees TO have
charge of the proposed institutions.
The governor says that the bill pro-
vides for a preliminary step in a
movement, the results of which are of
the most extensive character. The
provisions for charitable work in this
commonwealth have already reached
formidable proportions.
"At the outset" he continues, I'VE
ought not to shut our eyes to the fact
that If we are to provide for consump-
tives, we may have in time to take
care also Of those afflicted with the
dangerous and contagious or infectious
diseases. such as smallpox leprosy,
cholera, yellow fever, the bubonic
plague, typhoid fever, pneumonia and

.STURGE0N CAMPS ON
THE MARYLAND COAST
Never Before Were They So
Numerous and SO Sue
cessful

Ocean City. Nd, April Never in the
history of the present generation has
sturgeon fishing been so successful or
fishermen 50 numerous along this coast
as at present. Sturgeon camps are
scattered along the ocean shore from
,the Delaware line down into Virginia
A camp consists of a frame house or
a tent or a. canvas-c0vered-b -boat, a
small cooking outfit and almost any
kind Of a bed. IL there are four men
i'm the camp they are equipped with
10 nets, or IL seven men with 20 nets.
The nets are about 100 yards long and
are anchored at each end in the ocean.
They have hollow glass balls attached
10 the top, far enough above the nets
for ships TO pass over them without
injurlng the net.
The balls keep the nets spread and
at the same time furnish the fishermen
with means of locating the nets
after they are planted. A boat Is mani
ned by three men assisted by a fourth
man. who constitute the crew. The
fourth mans business is TO keep house,
do the cooking, carry the fish to the
shipping point and help the other three
get the boat in and out Of the ocean.
Where the outfit consists OF twenty nets
there are two boats with three men
for each, and the extra man on shore
has a double crew TO keep house for.
Roe Sturgeon are the most valuable
and the ones that delight the men who
are so willing TO. engage in this pre-
carious business. From the roe OF the
sturgeon is made the Russian caviar.
which Is sold Ia the restaurants. II
Is shipped from here to Russia and
prepared. It is also prepared in this
country and sold as Russian caviar.
Imported sturgeon roe is sold In the
/ United States at soc. to S1.25 a pound.
A roe sturgeon will have from so 10
100 pounds of this unprepared caviar,
50 the roe sturgeon Is valued at about
$50 for the roe. while the meat is sold
at from IA 10 16 cents a pound. and also
sOld in our home markets as chipped
beef. Albany steak ana sturgeon steak.
A sturgeon viii weigh from 200 to 400
pounds.
/ The nshermen's reward is Sometimes
great, the largest average catch being
from is TO 20 surgeons a day. but the
lcrews frequently have the puoveu5al
! Ifsherman's luck. The sturgeon season
Commences about the first of April and
lasts tin about July. IL is a very ooln-
mon thing for the crews to make
enough during that time TO keep them
over tan the season comes again.

BOYS GARDEN
GUSTS RUBBISH.
HERTIG PUTS IDLE
LOTS TO GOOD USE.
Twelve-Year-old Boy Realized $25 Last
Year on Small Truck Garden-FIouse-
wives Saved Orders for the Small
Gardener-He Now Cultivates More

Marshall Hertig, a little chap of 12
has discovered way to utilize vacant
lots which lie about the city and to
employ his own time SO that the i'm
.provement in the appearance Of the city
is most marked and the remuneration to
him most gratifying. In short, Mar
shall has become a truck gardener in a
small way. At present the vacant lot
on the corner Of Sixth street and
room for his work. Where other years
weeds, discarded tin cans and other rub
bish lay undisturbed neat rows of beans,
corn, lettuce and radishes now bear tes-
timony to the foresight and energy of
Marshall Hertig.
When Marshall first conceived the
idea of making big garden year ago,
his father had little faith in the boy s
that his zeal would soon be spent and
the garden would soon run to weeds
Whether it was the vision Of that large
silver dollar which lightened Marshall 5
labor and kept alive his interest or the
pure love of JhesWork, can only be de-
cided by Marshall's own statement
Even when strongly denying the dol
lars potency he freely says he was
glad to get it. Last year the little gar.
dener planted but two crops, corn and
to house and it was not long before the
housewives Of the nei ghborhood came
to watch for Marshall and his beans
and corn, fresh from the garden, instead
Of purchasing from the groceries. This
| year Marshall secured more room anC
he has added to. the two vegetables
.radlshes, lettuce, Ons, beets, peas an(
/ even az few, potatoess
In the spring he finds it necessary t
vI71 have some one Piow=Stthe greund for him
I Then he goes over it. carefully with !;
rake, preparing for the planting. 1t i
| at this time Marshall finds the worl
hardest, for the planting must be dom
! before school closes, In the vacation
he spends about half of each day in hi
garden, while the other boys play ball
and he finds it no sacrifice, for he ha
not the small boys usual fondness TO
| the game. Again in the fall the hare
work comes on, for the corn crop con
tinues into September.
Last year Marshall earned $25 witt
his garden, and by spending this Judi
ciously he proudly declares he has bee1
able to buy his clothes and meet what
ever expenses he incurred. Tho tn
trade has hardly commenced yet thi
year he confidently looks forward to
greater profit and hopes to buy a benc
and tools with his earnings. In tn
meantime the garden makes very pret
ty corner Of what might be an eyesore
and the women Of the neighborhoOd ar
looking forward as much as Marshal
to the time when the produce shall
mature and ready for delivery.
