 A representative of THE TRIB- UNE interviewed privately and separately each member of the fishing party to Buffalo immedi- ately upon their return from Gil- bert last week and secured the following statements from the gentlemen who were in the party. George Thorn: I've caught goggled eyed perch and other fish. I caught one eel 27 inches. long. We caught in all about 75'.'' C.. c. O'Neal. "We caught 37 black bass, P cat fish; total number caught, TO-" John Buell.: "We caught one eel 27 inches long. l caught one Buffalo. Total num- Der caught, 3z." ," W. E. Trower: "We caught bass, trout, goggled eyed perch and one eel Total number caught about 100" R. l.. yernigan: "We caught bass, trout, one catfish 27 inches long. Total number caught about 80." Now it will be seen that there are some slight discrepancies in these statements but as every body knows that a fishing party is given considerable latitude we think the gentlemen are to be congratulated upon being able to make separate statements in which there areno greater differ ences. All of the party agree that they caught something 27 inches long but whether or not it was a catfish or an eel we will have to judge by the preponder- ance of the testimony.

 GREEN FOREST ARK.

Dear Sir: No matter what your ideas about paint and paintin g. may be, whether you believe in snothing so good as lead and oil," or have some mixed paint that you think is ''the best, '' here's little story that may teach you something.
 Henry Kirch, of Mazomanie, Wis.,, was told by his painter that it would need 14 gallons of Devoe lead land zinc Paint to dc agood jobon his house. The paint CT evidently had lead and oil or some mixed paint in mind.
 Mr. Kirch bought four gallons of the color he wanted, which was all that H. Lappley, the dealer, had on hand; and wired to us for the ten gallons. Wher the job was finished they counted six gallons left over; took then back to the dealer. They are al wondering how it happened.

Dr. Harbert a Benedick.

The following account of the marriage of Dr. Ellis Har5ert is taken from the Stockton Evening Mail of Stockton Cal.:
 Dr. E. Harbert, the we'll known surgeon and physician of this city, surprised his friends last Saturday evening by returning from San Francisco with bride, and a private reception was hastily arranged for them at his residence.
 The marriage took place Satur- day morning at the Hotel Sequoia in the metropolis, when Mrs. Nettie c. Jennings of San Francisco was made Mrs. Har- bert, Rev. J. w. Lundy of this city performing the ceremony. Mir. and Mrs. Lundy left Stockton Friday, accompanying the doctor to be present at the wedding. Although MT. and Mrs. Harbert had been we'll acquainted for two years, few of his friends knew of their betrothal, and the an nouncement of the marriage was, therefore big surprise to them.
 Dr. and Mrs. Harbert will re- side at the physicians cozy home at No. 420 East Magnolia street.
