WORST FISHING SEASON.
Reports from virginian Waters Show
Great Decrease
Special Correspondence of The Star.

speclsf correspondence OF The star
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. July %, 1905.
Fishermen in the lower Chesapeake re-
port that this Is the worst season in the
memory of this important industry. The
catches from the nets have dwind.ed to
such small proportions that the yield will
hardly pay for the labor. and there is now
practically no profit whatever.
Captain J. w. Foster of Hampton. who is
one of the largest operators in this section,
has announced that he has put his boats
out of commission and will not operate
them again until the condition grows bet
ter Captain Foster is the owner of a
number of boats that are used in connec-
ton with his large nets. and formerly en-
ployed a great many men. Other packers
report the same condition, and many of
them are giving up operations for the pres
ent.
The cause for this unusual condition Is a
mystery to the packers. 1t was at first
attributed to the army and navy maneu-
vers. when the firing of the large guns Of
the warShiDS undoubtedly drove the fish
away from that vicinity. but It was ex-
pected that they would return in short
while. However. the catch has constantly
grown smaller, until now il is practically
nothing.
Formerly there was shipped from the
wharf at Old Point alone not less than
$50 COO worth of fish a week, but agents on
the reservation now state that the weekly
shipments are hardly fourth of this. At
Buckroe Beach, where formerly it was
a constant sight to see the fishermen in
Their boats raising the nets in the bay, the
sight of fishing smack is now rarity.
a scarcity of crabs is also reported, but
the condition is much better than that of
fish A strike at the crab factories last
week came a relief to the packers, who
had seriously considered the ACCESSIBILITY of
closing down for a short while. The strike
has now been adjusted and the yield has
improved considerably.
Oyster planters are complaining about the
work of pirates in James river and claim
that great deDredations are being made.
Last Tuesday Captain Hudgins of the oys-
ter boat RapDahannock of the Virginia
oyster navy discovered some men working
on the rocks and Immediately opened fire
on them. He reported here that he shot
the mast out of their boat, but they man
aged to get ashore before he came up
with them and escaped.
Captain Hudgins has had several similar
experiences during the week ard has been
forced to fire on the pirates to make them
quit their depredations; but this is the
only instance where any damage was done.

I went back to my chair and applied my
self to my cigar; I hardly dared look at
Godfrey. his disappointment would be so
intense. A silence of three or four minutes
followed. broken only by the rustling or
paper and the bowling OF the wind about
the building.

The Correct Writers.

Prof. Thomas r. Lounsbury, in Harper's Magazine.
There is not a single great author in our
literature In whose works numerous er-
rors have not been pointed out. or thought
to be pointed out. They are charged with
violating rules involving the purity II not
the permanence OF the language. A some
what depressing inference follows from the
situation thus revealed. The ability to
write English correctly does not belong to
the great masters of our speech. II is
limited tC the obscure men who have de-
voted themselves to the task of showing
how far these Wanted writers have fallen
short of the ideas of linguistic proprieiy
entertained by their unrecognized betters.
AS result of these critical crusades there
Is no escape from the dismal conclusion
that the correct use of the language is not
to be found in the authors whom every one
reads with pleasure but is an accomplish
ment reserved exclusively for those whom
nobody can succeed in reading at all.

Man-horse of Japan.
rom Everybody's Magazine


What wonderful institution the intellf-
gent man-horse of Japan has become! He
has all the virtues of his equine brother
and none of his vices. You becken to
your horse to come across the street, and
he at once obeys you. He never SHES at a
piece of white paper and cares naught for a
steam-roller. Without bit bride or
check-rein he goes just where you tell him.
Moreover he may be much wiser than you
yourself are in many matters, and will tell
you the direction, and all the turnings that
lie between you and your destination, des-
canting, If you desire him to do so. upon
the points Of interest your route and
the viewpoints from which you can get the
best glimpses OF the surrounding country.
II the robe that keeps you warm in winter
gets untucked, the man-horse stops and ad-
justs It. and II you wish to buy a news
paper to while away the time, or basket
of oranges and persimmons wherewith to
refresh yourself, he lets down the shafts
and trots of to the nearest store to make
the purchase.
II you wish for no refreshment and for no
information, he respects your feelings and
acknowledges your right to taciturnity,
and keeps on his steady jog-trot. making
five miles an hour for hours at time.
coming to the end of his journey as ready
for another pull as IL he had four legs
instead of two.
