railway train.
Capt. Boardman. following the doctrine
that an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, has instructed the members
of his staff and the visiting detectives to
characters as soon as they see them upon
the streets. He does not believe in waiting
until robberies have been committed, when
1t may be too late.
Several arrests have already been made
by the detectives. Two young women from
New York were arrested last night by De-
tectives Horne and Warren and New York
detectives. They gave their names as Mil
dred Miller and Mildred Delmar. 1t Is
stated by the New York officers that they
are known as the Heavenly Twins" The
detectives were not satisfied with the ex-
plantations made by the women and held
them prisoners at the house of detention.

CLEANING THE AVENUE.
No Money to Be Asked From Congress
for the Work.

After a conference with Superintendent
Stidham of the street cleaning department
this morning Commissioner West announced
that he will not ask Congress for an add
tional appropriation with which to clean
snow and dirt off of Pennsylvania avenue
for the inaugural parade unless there
should be a heavy snow storm tonight or
tomorrow morning. Mr.. West does not be-
lieve there will be another storm before the
4th Of March, and he thinks the District
will be able to handle the conditions with
the facilities now at the disposal OF the au-
thorities. wfn1oi
AT the direction of Commissioner West
road 'scrapers were put to work on the ave-
nue. this afternoons followed by the machine
sweepers, and 1t is thought these machines
will clean the roadwayoo OF the avenue, push
ing the snow and slush into the cutters.
The cutters will then be cleaned by the
force of white wings, and 1t Is thought that
the avenue will be In good condition by the
morning Of March A. re
The District engineer department will
sprinkle sand on Pennsylvania avenue
along the route of the inaugural parade to-
morrow night, ass wits suggested several
weeks ago by Maj.a Sylvester. Superinten-
dent Stidham of the street cleaning depart
ment today made the following suggestion
relative to the sprinkling of sand on the
avenue: t9tn
This work should be so supervised that
the coat of sand, be, r only the ordinary
sprinkling used wherever such work Is sys-
tematically performed. From some infor-
NAL observations that have come to my at
tention in the last few days fear that the
idea Is to put four times as much sand on
Pennsylvania avenue as is necessary for
the purpose in view, which is to prevent
slipping.
If such heavy coat of sand is placed
on this street it simply means that there
will be an intolerable nuisance to specta-
tors and paraders alike in the form of a
choking. binding dust cloud that will set
tie over the line of march"

utors of the estate of Julia Hanson, de-
ceased, to recover a total Of S10,700 was

BALTIMORE. Nd. March 2.-Dr. Edward
B. Dawson, the Roland Park dentist who
was arrested in Hamilton on the charge of
having raped fifteen orphan girls at the
Kelso home in this city, and who has al
ready undergone two mistriaIs, appeared in
court again this morning and. much to
every ones surprise. pleaded guilty to COM
mon assault in the fourth count in the in
dctments.
The plea was made in the cases of Ruth
Landers and India Bond, and in each case
the court sentenced Dawson to serve ten
years in prison, the sentences to run con-
currently.
DawsonS appearance in court this morn
ing Indicated that he was a physical and
mental wreck. Since last Sunday he has
refused food, and his queer actions since
that time prompted the states attorney
yesterday to have an examination made OF
his sanity.
The physicians who performed this task
declined to discuss the result of their In
vestigation, and it was believed that their
evidence along this line at today's trial
would furnish something interesting.
Dawson's determination. however, to plead
guilty put an end TO this prospect.
Dawson had nothing to say after sentence
had been pronounced, and he was lmme-
diately taken to prison to begin his penal
term.
Wife and Her Mother Absent.
Dawson's wife and her mother refused
to come to court sthis morning to testify
in his behalf. and the prisoner. realizing
that he had been deserted by those upon
whom he based his fondest hopes. de-
cided to plead guilty and take his chances
with the court.
At the first trial Mrs. Dawson testified
that she had applied for divorce, but
the proceedings had been suspended I'M
til she was convinced either of her hus-
bands innocence or guilt. 1t seems now
evident that Mrs. Dawson will Immediately
institute divorce proceedings.

as high as ninetyseven per cent of
the eggs have been Matched and the
young fry returned to the water suffi-
GENTLY strong to care for themselves.
The science of fish culture has
grown very rapidly during the last
fifty years. The general government
and several of the states are now
making liberal appropriations to sup
ply certain waters with artificially
Matched fry. The increased profit
from fisheries so encouraged amounts
to many millions of dollars Some
years ago Governor BloXham, when
preparing his address to the Florida
Legislature, asked me to write up the
facts relative to the possible results
of faithful fish culture i'm Florida.
He had the kindness to embOdy my
letter in his address. As result,
the Legislature passed a few laws
designed for the protection of the
fish, appointed a commissioner and
appropriated $1,000 for his support and
work. The small appropriation killed
the plan that could have made FlOri-
da waters and coasts the most prOduc-
tive fisheries in the world. Private
individuals, with proper care, can
make fish raising source of both
profit and pleasure. Leesburg with
but little expense, could so fill the
waters of Lakes Harris and Griffin
with fish as not only to bring in tens
of thousands of dollars to the fisher
men but draw tourists from all parts
of our great country to enjoy the
sport of angling. This would mean
to LeeSburg more and well filled
hotels, more residents and greater

paratively level, high and well drained
land. After getting the land in good
filth and the trees well started, L
should put it in grass for hay. Cher
ry trees will not stand cultivation,
but will do well on most any well
drained land in sod. 1t is better to
use the orchard for hay crops than
allow it to grow up in sassafras BUSH
es. You get money, or its equivalent,
for the hay, and better fruit and more
of it besides.

Science of Fish Culture.

There are nations that live very
largely upon fish. 1t is universally
accounted good wholesome food. If
it is true, as claimed, that an acre of
water, well filled with fish, will yield
as much food as an acre of the best
our opportunities. Rev. T. w. Moore
DID. wrote an article, for the Lees
burg Commercial, which we quote be-
low:
The best authorities assure us that
each acre of water surface may be
made equal i'm food production to a
like area of the best land under the
best cultivation. Good land in the vi
cinity of Leesburg readily rents at $40
per acre. Where planted in orange
trees with no frost to interfere, the
rent is worth hundreds of dollars per
acre. The two lakes, Harris and
Griffin, alone have an area of fifty
square miles equal to thirty-two thou
sand acres. At a rental of $40 per
acre, this would yield $32O,OOO per
annum, as public domain for Lees
burg, if these resources of wealth and
pleasure were attached to LeeSburg
by canals and cultivation, as might
be at little cost. These waters give
fine sport and to a few fishermen
some thousands of dollars profit. But
the fish, unprotected in these lakes as
i'm Florida, bring to maturi-
ty only about one in a thousand of the
eggs laid by the mother fish. To Sc
cure even this low percentage of life,
the parent Dream have to combine
against all enemies. Hundreds of
them will combine to dig up the grass
and bOnnets within a circle ten or
twelve feet in diameter, carrying out |
side the circle every particle of mat |
ter, save the sand for the floor and the |
water in which to work. After the /
bed has been prepared, the parent |
fish deposit their eggs and by constant
through the water turns
The eggs over and over as sitting
hen turns over her eggs. Until the
young fry are Matched and are able
% take care of themselves by flight,
he parent fish combine to fight off
Ill enemies If a fiSh-hOOk is dropped |

nay have on it no bait to conceal the
nook, some careful mother will take

ut the same risk of being caught,
