ATLANTIC SHAD
GOVERNMENT EXPERT DECLARES
 THEY ARE DISAPPEARING.
States Must Protect Them--Fish Commis- sion Able to Send Out Only A5.000, 900 Fry With Facilities for Matching
 3O0,OOO, GOO.

Washington Special to New York Herald.
 ''shad fisheries of the Atlantic coast are doomed unless the States take immediate steps to protect them from the rapacity of the fishermen" is the opinion held by John W. Tttcomb in charge of the matching ser vice of the United States Fish Commission.
 The great demand for shad roe prevents natural spawning and perpetuation of the species. The bureau is now closing the matching and distribution of shad for this year. and reports from various stations give startling evidence that the supply Of shad on the Atlantic seaboard Is rapidly diminishing Facilities of the bureau allow the matching and setting free in the streams of the country of 300. 900. 900 shad fry nually. but this year only about 4S, 1000 have been handled, The output was e5, 49S.- 900 in 1904 and last year it was below 57.~ eoc. 900.
 Mr. Titconb predicts that in ten years without the intervention of State protec- tive laws. shad will become so scarce in the Atlantic rivers that they will be pur- chased only by the stewards of big hotels and those who supply the tables Of tn" very wealthy.
 Habits of the shad lend themselves ad- mirably to the extermination of the fish They approach the shores in immense schools, actually crowdinE one another in their efforts to reach the head of the fresh water streams, where the spawn Is deposit ed. The fishermen have learned how 10 intercept the run by nets in the bays and in the broad mouths of the rivers. and the marketable shad are now nearly all caught in this way.
 Few roe shad escape the nets. The rivers are thus much depleted. the natural spawning of the fish intertered with and tn" supply of eggs available for the matching bureau shut off.
 Tn pointing out q remedy Mir, Titcomb says 1t is incumbent on the States to enact restricting laws against the taking of fish in the brackish waters of the bays and at the mouths of the rivers. He believes the fish should be allowed to ascend the rivers unmolested. at least during one of the ap- nuaI runs. possibly that in May, and during a considerable part of the shad season the catch should be limited to fresh water. Streams on the Pacific coast have been stocked and the shad transported from it's native waters in the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific with good results. Shad are increasing in California and other Western rivers under the restrictive laws there en- forced

The Tariff, Mother of Trusts.

Chicago Journal
 The bitterness with which tariff re- form has lately been attacked in the House of Representatives by Congress men Payne, Dalxell. BouteH and Lam dis and the excessive energy with which these congressman defended the Dingley law are evidence of growing public sentiment against tariff robbery. Those interests which have been made so powerful by excessive protection that they are able to oppress the coun- try are evidently alarmed. They see the beginning of the end and they are determined to postpone the day of reckoning as long as possible.
 But their efforts, frantic as they are, will be in vain. The time has passed in the United States when protection Is regarded by the great masses of people as 6 scared COW, criticism of which is sacrilege They still believe in the principle of protection for American industries, but they do not believe in protection for American pi- rates. They still think that American manufacturers. compelled to pay high CT wages and higher prices for raw materials than their competitors in for eign lands should have the protection of tariff tax equalizing matters. But they do not believe that trusts, like the United Steel corporation, which can and do undersell their competitors in foreign markets, after paying the cost of freightage across the ocean, should be enabled longer to gouge the American consumer in the home mar ket
 That is the position of the vast ma- jority of American citizens today. They would do no injury to honest manu- lecturers, but they do not propose to allow manufacturers who have proved that they do not need protection to go on inJuring them.
 Republicans in Congress are making a terrible mistake in shutting their eyes to these facts. The tariff is going to be revised; if not by its friends. then by it's enemies. the Democrats. It would be much better for the coun- try to have the tariff revised by it's friends, but, so intolerable Is the op- pression of the tariff-protected trusts, the people will intrust the duty to the tariffs enemies rather than allow these abuses to continue.
 The interested bigotry displayed in such speeches as that of Dalzell Is as offensive to the people as such tom myrot as Dalzell's request to God to help the man or the party that would put out the furnace fires, silence the music of industrial activity and send the workmen home to hungry house. hold" is ridiculous.
 Nobody wants to destroy industrial activity or starve the workman All that the people want to do is to end the system that enables few trusts to pay enormous dividends on millions of dollars worth of watered stock, | representing nothing in the world but the trusts license to rob the American consumer,
 And it will be ended. Public pa | tience is nearly exhausted. and Republican Congress turns a dear ear to the country's demands, while listen ing attentively to the wishes or lne trusts the country will elect a Demo cratic Congress and send 1t to Wasn- . ineton with a direct and unmistakao pie mandate to put a stop to legalized roo' berY.

AGGRAVATED CASE
 OF ECZEMA
Troubled Badly for Several Years With Eczema on Limbs and Wrists = Physicians Prescribe Without Any Benefit - BIOtches Now All Gone.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
 CURE BY CUTICURA

"For several years I was troubled badly with an eczema on my limbs and wrists. Physicians in several towns had prescribed for me without giving me any results. I had often used Cuticura Ointment and received relief temporarily. In the spring of 1904 took the Cuticura Resolvent Pills and used the Cuticura Ointment for about five weeks, and at the end of that time there was not blotch on me anywhere. This spring l took a few vials of the Cuticura Resolvent Pills as a precautionary measure, and will continue to do so every spring simply as a spring tonic, as they are so easy to carry with you, and they certainly fix your blood for the ensuing year. I now use only Cuticura Soap.
 "The Cuticura Ointment and Pills certainly cured me of an aggravated case of eczema, and if it will help any other sufferer you are at liberty to use this letter. Respectfully, St. Clair Me Vicar, San Antonio, Texas, July 6, 1905"

AWARDS NOT MADE

Execut1ve Committee Holds Meeting But Postpones Action--Madfson County Will lCompete For
 Exhibit Prise.

The contracts for the erection of buildings for the big State Fair, which is to be held by the Alabama Agricul- tural Association in Montgomery, De- tober 22 to 27. were not awarded yes terday. as had been expected. the mat ter being held up until this morning. when the awards will be made.
 Difficulties which made it necessary for the members of the executive coni- mittee to secure additional informa- tion. regarding certain legal points re- 1ating to the contractors bonds. arose during the meeting. and although the bids were opened, no definite acton was taken toward awarding the con- tracts
 The meeting of the executive com mittee was called at the headquar- ters of the Association at o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the bids were opened. There were seven bid- ders for the contracts. five of whom had made bids on all the Fair struc- lures, and two who had entered bids on few of the buildings only.
 In the discussion which followed, 1t became apparent that additional in- formation would be necessary before a decision could be reached by the committee.
 Accordingly, an adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock this morning, when the matter will be settled by the awarding of the contracts.
 Announcement was made yesterday. that Madison county has made known Its intention of entering the compe- tition for the $1,0o0 prize offered by the Association, for the county fur nishing the best agricultural and fruit exhibit at the Fair. The addition of Madison to the other counties which have already entered the race. makes certain a splendid lot of entries in the exhibition for the prize.
