GET 100000 MENHADEN
Report on Industry by New Jersey
Fish Commission Shows Sue
cessful Season.

Atlantic City, N. New jerseys
menhaden industry receives special
attention in the annual report of the
state fish and game commission just
presented to Gov. Stokes. -Four fac
tories are described-one on Crab is
land, near Tuckerton; one at Lees
burg, on the Maurice ricer, and one
each at Port Monmouth and Bedford,
Monmouth county. In 1899 these fac
tories were valued ct $1,000, and in
1904 this had increased to $125,ooo.
In 1904 100000 menhaden were
caught, 1900 barrels Of oil made, and
$500 tons Of fertilizer prepared. The
great increase developed at the Grab
island factory, owned by the Wharton
Fishing company and valued at $780,
900. This one company used six
steamers last year, employed 200 men,
caught 22,0O0,000 6sh, made 1000 bar
rels Of oil, and prepared 1000 tons Of
fertilizer.
One portion Of the report is of vital
interest to every fisherman along the
Jersey coast. This portion discusses
the law with reference to the rights
Of menhaden fishermen to catch food
Dish. The report says the law on this
subject is not generally understood,
and this has caused considerable
trouble all along the coast.

"Ye-es," faltered Mrs. Patterne.
That accounts for it. Who could
possibly be grammatical on the income
of a curate? 1t would be unkind to
expect it.
Mrs. Patterne was only humane.
Zone does not expect a servant in

bands grammar" she said, icily.
"Of course, if you put it in that inn

rather like Ollendorff, One has told me

The figures in this fresco appear
ridiculous as seen from the floor of the
rotunda. They are suggestive, of old
time wood cuts or the rudely executed
pictures in the Farmers Almanac"
There are impossible horses and still
more impossible men in the tumble of
figures. They do not appeal to the
artistic sense of anyone and without a
guidebook the subjects can only be
guessed at The fresco has cost a
pretty sum, and the only objection to
wiping the whole picture out is the
fact that it has cost money. In con-
trast with the fine oil paintings that
decorate the walls of the rotunda near
the floor this fresco is very amusing.
