To Christian EndeavOrOrS F:

Although the International Christian
Endeavor Convention, which meets in
Baltimore July to 10, is scarcely three
months off, the thousands of delegates
from all parts of this and foreign coun-
tries, are eager in their efforts to secure
desirable headquarters while attending
the convention. The Maryland delegates,
who will probably number 10000, will
have their headquarters at Northminis-
ter Presbyterian Church, on the corner
of North avenue and st. Paul Streets.
1t will be here, that the delegates from
every society in the state, including
those from this county, will be expect
ed to register, and secure the conven-
tion privileges, upon the contribution
of 81, for one share of the convention
stock. This small fee, which is an en-
tirely new feature. will entitle the dele
gate or the person so registering, to
souvenir program, which is to be
thing of beauty, a handsome official
badge; printed report of the conven-
tion and a handsomely engraved souve-
mir certificate of stock bearing the
autographs of the II member of the
Committee of 1905 The other states
and countries which will have their
headquarters at Northminister church,
will be Vermont, Mexico and South
America. Every State in the Union,
and foreign countries, have been as
signed to headquarters in some evang-
elical church in the convention city.
The headquarters of the juniors, who
are to give grand rally on the after
noon of July 6, in the Fifth Armory,
will be in Brown Memorial Presbyter-
ian Church. At least 1900 juniors are
now being trained for the rally, and it
will be one of the most interesting
features of the convention.
Another feature of the convention
will be the grand concert of 1000 train
ed voices, to be given in the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory on the evening of June
80. A singer of note, either Nordica,
Schumann- -Heink or Campanani, will be
engaged to render the solo numbers on
the program. Mr. Richard A Harris is
chairman of the music committee. Dur
ing the convention, Mr. Merritt B. Hol-
ley of Michigan, will exhibit his Won
derful Christian Endavor museum.
The delegates will be given excursions
to Annapolis, Washington, Colchester,
Gettysburg, Ocean City, Rehoboth
Beach and other places, and at nearly
all of them, patriotic and mass-meetings
will be held.
1t is likely that one or more members
of the general Committee of 1905"
will visit several of the socities in this
county very soon, and give complete
explanation of the convention affairs.
They are nearly 275 societies in the
state.

Atlantic Surf Fishing.

The steady and remunerative fishing
at Ocean City is by the pounds on the
bars of the coast. Formerly the At
lantic fishing was done solely by surf
men, who went out every morning in
their lifeboats and came in before
breakfast with load of sea trout, blue
fish or other varieties, caught with the
hook and line. This early morning fish
ing was favorite pastime of some of
the older habitues of Ocean City and it
is yet practicable. There is excitement
in pushing through the surf to get be-
yond the line of breakers; there is
pleasure in the rocking motion of the
boat riding at anchor on the bars for
those who do not get seasick and there
is continuous pleasure in finding the
strong fish of the sea, which bite so
savagely and resist capture so stenuous-
ly. Scarcely morning passes during
the summer months when it is not
possible for the boats crew of four
men to take with hook and line several
hundred pounds of game fighting fish.
Then when the fishing is over and
breakfast is awaiting on shore. the in
coming, with its hazard, keeps up the
glow of excitement.
To land safely through the tumbling
surf is no easy matter and it calls into
play all the resources of expert surf
men. Even then it sometimes happens
that tie craft is overturned that the
crew get entangled under the boat; that
the fish, those dead and those yet alive,
are dumped into the sea and the morn
ing work is lost. To the sportsman
who gets out of a mess of this kind
safely there is nothing to complain of.
A wetting in the surf is just what he
mainly goes to the seaside for, but to

Deep SEA FISHING OFF
OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND.
Sixty Thousand to One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars Worth of Food Fish Ship
ped From Ocean City Annually. The
Valuable Sturgeon.

If we of the Eastern Shore had prop
erly appreciated our fisheries a few
years ago and had encouraged the prop
agation and protection of the young fish,
we would not now be face to face with
the fact that shad and other food fish
are scarcer than for years.
A few years ago sturgeon, the most
valuable fish caught, were quite plenti-
full in Eastern Shore rivers, but the fish
ermen did not know their commercial
value. They did not know that caviare,
the dish priced of allothers by Russians,
was the roe of the despised sturgeon,
now worth from $50 to $lOO each.
An old Nanticoke fisherman told Fish
Commissioner Vincent that a dozen or
more years ago sturgeon were so plen-
tiful in the Nanticoke river that they
became nuisance and an everlasting
worry to the shad fishermen of that
river, who would find great holes torn
in their float seins nearly every day
they went out to fish. These were made
by sturgeon. large, powerful, swift
swimming fish, which can go through
an ordinary shad net as if it was tissue
paper At last these fishermen became
so desperate that they resolved to eX-
terminate the sturgeon. They set aside
several days for the job and used every
devise they could conceive of to help
them in the work of destruction. At
the end of three days they had the
shores of the Nanticoke lined with hun
dreds of dead sturgeon and the corn
fields in and around Sharptown and
Vienna were spread with them, left to
rot and furnish fertilizer for the crop of
corn soon to be planted. 1t is safe to
say that in that one drive over one
hundred thousand dollars worth of
surgeons were ruthlessly destroyed be-
cause the fishermen did not know what
they were doing. But, "of all sad words
of tongue or pen, the sadest are these,
1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN" Yes, if
they had only known the value of the
sturgeon roe, even then, it might have
been thousands of dollars Ito the good
for them.
Mr. Norval f. Ford, under the caption
Waters of Maryland, Prolific in Fish
for Commerce and Sport" had an in
teresting article in the Sun last Sunday
regarding Worcester fisheries, he said:
''On the Atlantic cost of Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia sturgeon fishing
is a prime industry in the months of
April and May. At Ocean City, on the
coast of Worcester county, pounds take
thousands of barrels of food fishes every
year, and at times drum fishing with
hook and line is practicable. Agentleman
who engaged in this sport told the writ
er that he tied bruised crab to his
hook and swung the heavy sinker Of his
line out into the surf as far as he could
sling it, and when a drum-fish bit he
had to put the line over his shoulder
and travel inshore as fast as he could
wade through the sand. 1t is true that
drumfish of great size, weighing 40 or
so pounds or more, may be taken here
with hook and line, but the fish do not
often come.

varieties of fish caught are mackerel in
April and bluefish in July. Sea trout
and butterfish are caught throughout
the season, and there is no more de-
lightful pan fish in the sea than the
butterfish. Bluefish are so valuable and
