The Fishery.

A few struggling shad are being Melted
below this city, but the fishing season Is
virtually over. The scarcity OF shad for
two consecutive years has caused some
TO suppose that the species OF the
finny tribe is destined to become as stur-
seon-few and far between. 1t Is gen.
orally believed that trapnetS in the bay
and in the mouth of the river are re,
sponsible for these conditions, as shad
are intercepted before they reach this
section. A few of this species were Of
feed for sale by OILERS this morning.
They brought from % to 40 cents each.

Nan Patterson Threatened.

Interest in the fate of Nan Patterson,
the chorus girl thrice on trial Tor the a.
legged murder of Caesar Young, was 10
vived bit yesterday by the publication
of threatening letter received by the
woman's mother, 10 Washington.
The letter, which was forwarded to
Lawyer Abraham Levy, was addressed
to Mrs. J. B. Patterson, Washington, ID.
c.. Mans fathers correct name is John
B, Patterson, but he has been known
throughout the trial as ~. Randolph
Patterson. Mr.. Levy remarked that
the writer of the letter evidently knew
the proper name OF the girls father.
The letter was as follows
New York, Station B, May 5, 1905
Mrs. J. B. Patterson am sorry to cause
you some pain, but you will not see Nan.
Although she cheated justice Of the law she
has more to deal with. and she will never go
far away from the Tombs. am the. victim
of another such woman as your daughter. /
have sworn that Caesar Ioung's murderess
shall not go unpunlshed,
Wednesday night, ifthe jury acquitted Nan
I would have shot her as she left the Tombs.
If she was convicted could have committed
suicide, as have wished to for. the last ten
months But my name will be famous yet as
a lover Of Justice. The American people shall
know that one man had the courage to.syenge
Young's murder. | write this so you VIII
know that | am in no way connected WIN
Young's friends. Yours in death.

Mr.. Levy said he regarded the letter
as having been written BY crank.

Man and HI. Pockets.

The average tailor made man, when
fully clothed, will be found to be in
possession, more or less ignorantly, 1t
is true, of fifteen or sixteen pocket
There will be two side and two hip
pockets and watch pocket in his
trousers. His coat will have two lower
and one upper pocket eXteriorally and
two inner pockets. There is sometimes
small pocket i'll addition. the counter
part Of the trousers watch pocket.
Then there is his vest with two lower
pockets, two upper pockets and one or
two inside pockets. Now, no man living
can possibly utilize all of this equip
ment. He may find half or three
fourths of them sometimes convenient.
but even then he can't keep track OF
what he puts in them. If he seeks o
key or a coin, letter or memoran-
dunn, 1t means a search through all of
them and frequently results in bring.
ing to light some article that he had
long forgotten or given up for lost.
