FISH AND FRIDAY.

All of us have not the same tastes.
Yet what is more natural to most of
us when ordering our dinner for Fri
day, than to think of fish? Used to
have trouble, however, not only in get
ting the kind of fish we wanted, but
often had trouble about the quality,
too. Both these difficulties have now
been overcome, however, for we are
endeavoring to conduct our new fish
store-the only complete fish store in
the city-along proper lines-and you
will find in Mr.. T. E. Ainsworth, our
manager, one who is thoroughly IA
miliar with all branches of the fish
business. and who will supply you with
any kind that you may desire. Walla

MULAI ABDUL AZlZ.
M0rocco's Ruler and the France
German Episode.

MOrocco's Ruler and the France
German Episode.
The strained relations between Ger
many and France over the Morocco
situation have thrown under the lime
light once more the picturesque fig
ure Of Mulai Abdul Aziz, sultan of Mo-
rocco, whose rule of his domain pro-
vides none too great safety for the
persons and property of foreigners.
Many abuses exist in the sultan's
realm, and commercial intercourse with
European nations; is attended by diff
culties on this account. If some Euro
pean power were to assume protec-
torate over Morocco it would assure
conditions under which trade with 9th
er countries could be carried on to bet
ter advantage. But the action of the
French government in seeking to estab-
lish a predominance Of French influ-
ence in that part Of Africa aroused the
jealousy Of Germany, led to war talk
between the two countries and finally
resulted In q call for an international
conference to consider the status of
Morocco and the subject Of internal re-
forms in the interest Of commerce.
Abdul Aziz has now been ruler of
Morocco for eleven years and Is TWEEN
ty-six years Of age. He Is considered
q progressive monarch as monarchs 60
In Africa-to put it mildly, is eccentric.

DURHAM VERSUS WEAVER.
The Philadelphia Boss and His Con-
test With the Mayor.

Israel w. Durham used to be known
as boss Of Philadelphia" Since his
break with Mayor Weaver over the
gas lease proposition he has been
shorn Of much of the power that he
formerly possessed as the head Of a
political machine For about ten years
Durham has been leading figure in
the affairs Of Philadelphia. For half
a dozen years he was the power be-

hind the throne in the government of
the city, and it is said that nothing OF
Importance was done without his ap-
prevail and consent. He took up
Weaver when the latter was practical
" unknown and brought about his
nomination first for district attorney
and then for mayor, and for time
Weaver was criticised for accepting
machine dictat1on and being rDur-
hams man." but there came time
when the mayor thought fit to part
company with him.
Durham was born in Philadelphia in
1856. He attended the public schools,
including high school, and started to
learn the bricklayer's trade, but went
into the -four business with his father.
He began his political career as a re-
former, helping to beat the regular
organization candidate Of his party
and elect q representative of the op-
posite party to the select council. He
was chosen a magistrate in 1885; hence
Is known as Judge" He assisted Sen
ator Quay in overturning former
Philadelphia boss, David Martin, and
has been a lieutenant of Senator Pen
rose. He at present holds the Office of
insurance commissioner. Durham's
power as q political leader has been
attributed to his democratic ways and
afrability and to his reputation for fair
dealing with his political associates.

The Spring Bride

For the spring bride are provided
many lovely novelties. A vast number
of the wedding gowns are made Of
the most gauzy fabrics which replace
theNheavy satins once used almost ex-
cluslvely. A high silky finish that is
quite silvery is a feature of some Of
the most popular textiles which in
clude gauzes of every sort. as well as
such thin silks as messaline and soft
finished taffetas. These delicate ma
terials respond readily TO the styles Of
the hour, the draped bodices, shirred
sleeves and daintily trimmed skirts,
calling for suppleness.
The majority Of the imported gowns
are still of satin, made in the staid
way approved for French brides-that
is. with the skirt more frequently plain
than trimmed, and the bodice showing
at most a lace bertha and sleeve frills
or a drapery of tulle and orange bios

tries are apt to be more 'fussy the
French exaction for a high neck and
long sleeves is observed generally ev-
erywhere else.
The fad of the hour for transparent
materials brings lace into the field,
and never We're lace gowns more raw
ishing than those now designed for
bridal use. Here, too, is another inno-
vation. for instead of orange bios
SONS the flmy costumes are sometimes
garlanded with trails of tiny white
roses with green foliage.
These blooms are called, by cour-
tesy. bride roses. but they are merely
the close dwarf flowers which have
become stylish in the millinery world.
Sometimes they are put on a skirt in
wreaths, tied at the top with the rib

A Tramp Of the Sea.

The shark known as the elephant,
bone and basking shark roams near
ly all temperate seas. Its mouth is
comparatively small and bears six
or seven rows of very small teeth,
perhaps 200 in a row. The gill open
ings are enormous, the gill rakers
long, close together and slender, re-
calling whalebone; hence the name
whale shark. The skin is rough,
covered with short spines. Where
these monsters live in winter is not
known, but doubtless they roam the
temperate and semitropic seas. In
summer they are gregarious and are
seen il schools lying on the surface
seemingly asleep. They reach the
New England coast in June and
July, the HvbriCes and the Firth of
Clyde in June and leave in July. On
the Pacific coast they are found off
Monterey bay in July, large schools
beicg seen on the surface. when
they can readily be approached
