CATCHING A CARP.

One of Washington's prominent clubmen, who shrinks from publicity, was on of the principals in a battle royal a day or two ago while on a yachting party up the Potomac River, He was relating his experiences to an interested crowd of bystanders in one of the big downtown business offices.

I dare say that no man ever undertook a trick in horseplay with so much man. ufactured vim and terminated with as little courage left in his strong anatomy as in the case where I tried to establish the supremacy of man over fish.
 This would sound like something mythical if I hadn't a dozen friends to verify the fact. We were a. merry party gliding along the placid waters of the Potomac Palisades, and were enjoying life beautifully. It was late in the afternoon, at a time of day when carp indulge in one of their fav- orite pastimes, water polo With great glee they jump out of the water into the air. Sometimes they spring into the air as high as six or seven feet. Right near the feeder dam we ob- served that a huge carp had landed on rock not far from our craft. The fish weighed about 60 pounds, and was probably 15 feet in length.
 My real life and death experience happened at this juncture. Just to be dead game. I suggested that some member of the party tackle the mon" ster fish. No one volunteered, and I alighted from the boat on to the rock, where the carp lay, apparently dead. Upon my approach it's optics began ito roll and it's fins beat and slapped with evident fear. I boldly grabbed it by the head with both hand, hold ing it fast, but with great strength it made lunge for me and struck me, an awful blow with it's fins. This stunned me, and began to realize was not un against dead one. I wrestled with it while it squirmed as # in agony, and for a second time it

 And improvement has distinguished the career of the Chickering Piano since 1923.
 Its superiority has been universally admitted by the artists of every decade of the past century, and perhaps the most emphatic success ever won by any piano may be credited to the Chicker- ing Quarter Grand-a creation which has won the most enthusiastic plaudits from the music lovers in all sections of America.

No Decision In Mary Rogers Case.

No decision was handed down by the
supreme court at Washington Monday in
the case of Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers, who
husband at Bennington in 1902. In view
of the fact that the date fixed for her
execution by the last reprieve granted by
the governor of Vermont, Dec. 8, is less
than a month hence, and that the court
will not be in session again until Nov. 81
IL was expected that the decision would
be rendered Monday. While 1t Is impos-
sible to tell in what light the members of
the court view the unique points that were
raised in the case by Mrs. Rogers's coun-
sell II was thought by Washington lawyers
who are familiar with the practice Of the
court that there would be little difficulty
in disposing of the case, and that the
decision would be handed down Monday.
AS this action was not taken. 1t would
seem to indicate that the justices either
were unable to agree upon a decision at
once, or that the questions to be decided
are such that considerable research and
elaborate opinions are necessary. From
the fact that the court did not decide the
case offhand, it is thought the chances
that the court may intervene in the case
are somewhat brighter. The court will
spend the next two weeks in considering
the causes that have already been argued,
and the Rogers appeal will undoubtedly
be among those which will be decided
when it reconYenes Nov. "a. That would
still leave II days before the date fixed
for the execution. Another recess viii be
taken from Nov. 20 until Dec. 4.
