their wagons and spread the mackerel
10 fertilize the SOIL
The most potent of all the reasons
for the failing of these fisheries is best
given in the words of Captain "Sol"
Jacobs, king of the Mackerel Fishers"
at Gloucester, who said:
The chief crime against the fisheries
IS the practice of catching mackerel
during the spawning season. 1T one
tenth Of the eggs of the spawn macker-
Ell caught last season had matured
mackerel would be plentiful this year
along our shore"
1t is easy to understand why, after
severe fishing along certain stretch
of the coast, the supply of fish will be
reduced to a considerable extent, for
although the supply of fish in the sea
may be practically inexhaustible, yet,
if the fish of particular region are all
caught, there is no hope that others
from surrounding localities will take
their place. The exhaustion Of local
fishery is not like dipping water out of
a bucket, where the vacancy is imme-
diately filed, but is more like scooping
lard out of keg, where there is space
left that remains an empty hole, un-
occupied by anything else, for it is q
habit of fish to spawn on the ground
where they were Matched, and the fish
of any particular spawning ground
having been destroyed, no others will
come to take their place.
Other reasons, too numerous to men,
ton within the space of magazine ar
ticle, are advanced to explain the de-
cline of these fisheries. But the only
tangible one which we may hope to con-
troll is their devastation by the fisher
men, and the sole remedy is to regulate
the pounds and traps and the purse
seines during the spawning season.

MANY APPLICANTS.
Some Talk of Having a Water Com
missiOner-TOo Much for One.

1t is said that the number of APP
plicants for the office of borough
clerk is way up in the ~fifties, but the
impression with some is that Frank
Fulton will be the lucky n out
the number. There is another ill.,
preston prevailing with a number
of our citizens which is that it would
be to the advantage of the borough
If they would have a water commits
sioner as they did formerly, instead
of having one man fill the two posi-
lions, of street and water commits
sioner.
The appointing of a water COM
missioner is being earnestly discuss
ed and that is right. 1t will be re-
membered that the NEWS cores
pondent contended that that was the
proper thing to do, when both posi-
tions were given to Mr.. Quinlan and
that 1t was altogether o much work
for one man to do successfully. This
may sound like 81 told you so" but
it is a fact, nevertheless, and
Others are tumbling to it. Mr.. Quin-
Ian has worked hard TO please the
public and has been faithful to his
duties. If he has not always pleased
the people, it is not for want of try
ing. but too much has been expected
of him and one knows that 1t is inn
possible to please everybody. We
will say for Mr.. Quinlan that he has
done well and when ever his atten-
tion has been called to some needed
work in the streets, he has attended
to it.

Polish Butc.er Was Driving Over

AS a Polish butcher was driving
over the Henry street crossing OF the
Central railroad the Gao O'Clock Cen
trial train going to New York came
along and struck the hind wheels OF
the wagon, smashing it. The horse
was u%ninjured, it is said, but the
man must have received some bruis-
es, as he was thrown out of the wag-
on. The vehicle was loaded with
straw which the man was bringing
from Capner's Mills in Henry street,
near Roosevelt avenue. The gateman
at that crossing has the reputation of
being very careful and particular re-
garding those who pass over it, so
it is singular why the man was al
lowed to cross with a train so nearby.

IDENTIFIED DILL.
Mrs. Drum Says He Is the Fellow
Who HeIdsHer Up.

Mrs. Drum, of Mechanicsville,
identified Herman Dill as the young
man who held her up at the point of
a pistol a short time ago, when she
was on her way to her home at about
noontime. The story told here is to
the effect that young Dill and another
young fellow were about to start on
a trip and that they stole Gus Hamil-
tons dress suit case and pistol and
hid the case in the basement of the
Baptist church. Dill was looked up
Wednesday and in the evening rumor
had it that he was suspected of being
the young man in the holdup affair.
The clothes of the other young fell
low were searched while he was in
bed and asleep, but nothing suspic-
ious was found in them, although he
was the one said to have taken the
pistol, etc. So nothing was done with
him, but Dill was taken to New
Brunswick and some ladies who trav-
ell up that road to their homes feel
greatly relieved, for they were afraid
that at any time they, too, might re-
ceive the same treatment that Mrs.
Drum received. 1t is said that men
tally, young Dill is not altogether
right.

BURGLAR FOND OF LOWERS
The Luxurious Taste of a House.
breaker Betrays Him to
the Police.

A recent English robbery case, which
reads almost like one OF the Sherlock
Holmes stories, related to the detec-
tion Of a thief through his fondness
for flowers.
The only clew left by the robber
of a house near Northampton was a
fragment of a flower. whose petals
were scattered owe. the floor. No
flowers of the same sort were grown
in the garden of the house robbed or
by the neighbors, but an investigation
of the florist shops in the nearby
town showed that a flower of that sort
had been purchased the evening be-
fore by a man who was recognized
from the description given to be a
well-known burglar.
At the trial it was shown that, al
though the night had been warm, the
thief, who was of delicate health, had
worm a light overcoat, which crushed
the petals of the flower beneath, and
these had fallen to the carpet when he
had opened his coat tc stow away the
Jewels. which constituted the greater
part of the spoils.
Although the clew was a slight one,
1t was correct, and the luxury loving
crook will have no need of flowers
to decorate his broad arrow suit for
some time to come.

DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN.

Yesterday afternoon Chris Straub,
who was driving through First street
into Broadway, was heard to call out
and seer to stop his horse and wagon
on the crossing between Salz & Stein
er's and S%ullivan's stores. AS close
as possible to Straub's wagon, just
between the front and back wheels
when his horse had stopped, was Il
good-sized child's wagon, containing
two boys. They were just saved
from going under the hind wheel of
the wagon. No sooner had Straub's
wagon started than the owner of the
wagon, Melvin Roll, took hold of the
tongue of the little go-cart and he
began pulling it. He must have
dropped the tongue of the wagon and
ran just as Mr.. Straub hollered.
With the automobiles, trolleys and
wagons in Broadway, it is rather a
dangerous place for little children to
play in.

Tally Sticks.

An old time way of proving ones
right to the payment of money loaned
was by tally sticks. A plain stick Was
used, and when a man loaned e sum
a stick was broken and the creditor
and debtor each took a part. When
the time for payment came the man
who had the stick which fitted exactly
to the stick held by the creditor re-
ceived the money. Two sticks lever
break exactly in the same shape, so
there was never any dispute about who

Executive Council Of Public Education
Association Appealed to School Board.


The executive council of the Pub
lie Education Association has appeal
ed to the Board of Education to de-
feat the report of the special commit
tee on examinations. In it's protest
the council holds that "the abolition
of the academic examination for
license No. ] would lower the stand
ard of scholarship" and that for this
purpose the professional examina-
ton is not a sufficient test" An APP
peal from the decisions Of the exam
liners to a committee of the Board of
Education would confuse the func-
tons" of the two bodies and divide
a responsibility which should rest
entirely with the board of examin-
ers."
Objection is also made to making
the official ratings the sole basis for
the marks in record in examination"
for higher license, as it is essential
that the examiners alone ''be respon-
sible for the eligibility of those who
obtain places on it's lists" This
would not be the case if they were
required to take the ratings made by
the principals and superintendent,
which ratings often vary, tending
thereby to work serious injustice"
while the council agrees hat
faithfulness and ability in subordin-
ate positions and devotion to duty in
New York city schools should receive
substantial credit in granting high
-er licenses, it does not believe hat
this record should be the principal
element in determining the rank of
the candidates on the eligible lists"
