Webster's Remarks to a Fish.

Though this should be enough to sup
port concusively the contention that in
cidents of Mr.. Webster's great achieve
ments prove the close relationship be-
tween fishing and the Hottest attachments
of mankind, this branch OF our subject
ought not to be dismissed without refer
ence to a conversation l once had with
old John Attaquin, then a patriarch
among the few survivors of the Mashpee
Indians. He had often been Mr.. Web
ster's guide and companion on his fishing
trips and remembered clearly many of
their happenings. 1t was with glow of
love and admiration amounting almost 20
worship that he related how this great
fisherman, after landing a large trout on
the bank of the stream, talked mighty
strong and fine to that fish and told him
what a mistake he had made, and what
fool he was to take that fly and that
he would have been all right If he had let
1t alone" Who can doubt that patient
search would disclose, somewhere in Mr..
Webster's speeches and writings, the elab-
Grafton, with high intent, of that mighty
strong and fine talk addressed TO the
fish at Mashpee?

Lenient With Tenors.

The comment of II Temps. a Milan

1t shows that tenors have more
liberties abroad than in this country Says
II Temps:
.'Our italian ladies' have always looked
with indulgent eyes on the audacity Of
professional artists as though. like hunch-
backs, they dispense good luck
II fear Caruso has not comprehanled
the vast difference between his social
environment in Italy and in the United
states: he does not realize the gr>vi.y
of his position. In Italy a similar af-
fair. so far from arousing public indiS-
nation. would result in tremendous "e-

Caruso INDICATED.

Enrico Caruso, the Metropolitan opera
tenor who was convicted OF insulting
woman in the monkey house of the Cen
trail Park Zoo, has been indicated by the
New York public. The tenor made his nfst
appearance of the season wednesday
night in LA Boheme." and the immense
audience Numbered it's vindication from
the beginning to the end of the perform
ance.
Meantime a newspaper has fouGd the
mysterious Mrs. Hannah Graham, the
complainant against Caruso, whom inc po-
lice declared they were unable to proouee
in court. Her name Is not Graham. She
is Mrs. Hannah Stanhope, the wife Oh a
former baseball player. She says that
Caruso did to her just what the police
said he did, but she did not care 20 ap-
near in court because of the notoriety.
The woman is probably safe from court
subpoenas now for, though Caruso mas Cd
tanned the order granting an appeal the

review the case on the evidence that has
alreadv heen presented and admit no new
evidence.
The talk over the Caruso affair has i'm
pelled Deputy Police Commissioner Ma
thot. who prosecuted the tenor, to declare
that numerous offences similsT to that for
which the singer was convicted had been
perefertated in New York. Said he:
Numerous arrests have been made for
the same offence and it has always been
the policy of the police department TO
have as little publicity about such cases
as is possible. Such disclosures would
wreck the homes of a good many peoo,e.
"Only a few days ago musician cen
nected with the Metropolitan opera house
was arrested for the same offence and
fined so.
"In Caruso's case, he was convicted
and fined. But IL we get any more of
these people we shall try to make 1t
states prison offence.
'All kinds of professional men, clergy
men doctors. lawyers and actores have
been arrested, in cases similar to that
of Caruso. but it would never do to make
their names public. We have also had
arrested the secretary OF one of the
branches of the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION. He skipped his bail"

Trinity's Taxes.

The richTrlnity church corporation is
slow in pay its taxes this year. and the
financial community is wondering If with
it's reported income of 100000 year it
finds itself short fmoney. The value Of
the Trinity corporations property, ex-
elusive of that which is exempt, Is as
much a mystery as what it does with its
enormous income. The corporation pays
taxes of s91, 41203 on about 900 as
sessed value This assessed valuation is
extremely low as compared with that in
other sections-praeticaly one-third or
even less than the real or market value.
On this basis the Trinity corporations
property on which it pays taxes IS VAL
ued at about $20,000,000. But Trinity
church does not pay taxes on all Its tax
able real estate. 1t has scores OF leases,
some running for numbers of years, in
which it is provided that the lessee shall
paw taxes and in these cases the taxes,are
assessed agains and paid by the COR
poration's tenant. The same applies in
rents, etc Real estate men, conversan.
with the section in which the greater
part of the Trinity property is situated,
say that it has marketable property ex-
elusive of that exempt from taxation of
a value of at least $75.0o0,000. Some real
estate experts place the figure higher
and say that it is worth s1O0,0O0,00o The
exempt property, consisting OF the
churches. cemeteries. chapels etc, is
estimated by real estate men to be worth
worth from 900 to 500, 900 900.

Many diseases of the allmentary canal

SUNFLoWERS FARMS.

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A sunhower farm is rather novelty in
the agricultural line An Iowa farmer
this past season planted five acres, all in
one field to sunfiowers. 1t made the
most gorgeous crop in the state.
The seed was put in with a corn
planter and the field was afterward cul-
tivated as If 1t had been a corniield The
entire crop was contracted for in adj
vance by seed firm.
The yield was about 100 pounds Of
seed to the acre. The price was from
$i.75 to 81 hundred weight.
Even at the lower price this would
bring a revenue of more than S26 an acre.
As sort OF extra profit the stalks made
good lindlng wood for winter morning.

and is said to be liked ny parrots. 1t
