surprised the Fishermen.

One of the steamers of the State Board
OF Fisheries is in Potomac creek, a tribu-
tary of the Potomac river, in Stafford
county, 10 miles from Fredericksburg.
Its arrival there was great surprise to
the fishermen and created CONSERVATION.
Thi is much higher up the river than
the oyster SECTION, but Potomac creek Is
one of the best pieeeC of fishing grounds
in the State, and many fishermen live
nesr there and make their livelihood
from the sale of fish. The steamer went
there to enforce The payment of licenses
for fish nets, etc. This is the first time
the State steamer has ever beeG in the
creek within The recollection of the in
habitants of that section. The tax for
fishing nets is provided for by compsr-
itively new law, and the licenses have
heretofore been collected by inspectors.
The o6icials of the steamers will see that
the fish laws are o5eyed in every respect.

SOMEBODY was claiming lately tn

SOMEBODY was claiming lately that
the rates of moral insurance-that is, the
charges on surety bOnds--were going
down and inferred that either honesty or
vigilance was increasing and crime wa
growing more rare. But one OF the bank
ers at the convention in St. Louis cslcu-
oates that thers is bank embezzlement
somewherein the country every day in the
year. Still, there are good many thou
sand banks, sDd each employs several
men who are in 8 positions to steal. The
ratio ofcriminslity is not so very high,
but it is a great pity that meg have to
be watched so closely fron presidents
down to messengers.

Tx new YORK today fines totaliDg
$lOS, OO0-$l8, 900 on each count of six
counts--were imposed upon the New
York Central and Hudson River Rail
road by Judge Holt, in the U. 8. Dis
trict Court, on charge OF granting re-
bates to the American Sugar Refining
Company. In the case OF Frederick
Pomeroy, assistant traffic manager OF the
New York Central, the court imposed a
ine of $4,000 on each Of the counts In
the indictment. Pomeroy is che man
who made the arrangements for granting
the rebate. Upon the plea of Austin U.
Fox, attorney for the defendants, the
court granted stay of execution OF
sixty days pending an appeal to the
Supreme Court which Mr.. Fox declared
he would take. These fines are pretty
heavy but just, aud will go far towards
breaking up the granting of rebates. A
Jail sentence, however, would insure the
observance of the snt.rebate laws.

ing to escape. Four others were on a
stairway. None of them can be recog-
nized Seven others are missing and

RIoting In Valencia.

Valencia, Spain, Oct. l9 -Riotiug
is in progress here as the outcome of the
attempt ofthe government, following the
lead of France, to loosen the ties which
have bound it to the Vatican.
The rioting eliminated last night 10 an
attempt on the part OF the mob to lynch
the Archbishop who preached violent
sermon yesterday which has greatly
aroused the anti-clericals. A violent at
tack WAS made upon the government by
the Archbishop of Valencia for the
course which it is pursuing toward the
Vatican. He directed his attack prin-
cipally upon the new civil marriage law.
This, he declared, reduces marriage to
The plans oi concubinsge. When news
of the archbishop's utterances spread
through the city mobs began forming in
the streets. AS soon as the necessary leader
appeared the rioters took up their march
for the archbishOp's residence with the
deter animation to lynch him.
Threats were made against all clericsls
and for time it looked as if an attack
would be made upon every prelate 10
the city. So violent did the mob be-
come. aud so great was the number of
the rioters, that the police we're helpless
aud troops were ordered out. They sur
rounded the archbishOp's palace to pro-
tect the high prelate. Later the troops
attacked the mob and forced the rioters
to'disperse.
Riotiug was resumed today, however.
Violent agitstors have been at work
among the people arousing them to
great pitch of frenzy against the clericals
and urging them to demolish the arch
episcopal residence.
The government authorities are con-
sidering calling the archbishop whose
violent words caused the storm to break
to Madrid and demanding formal re-
traction of his words uttered yesterday.
Today troops guard the city.

George Meredith in Handy Shape.

A distinct service is rendered by Charles
Scribner's Sons to the reading public in
the publication Of "The Works Of George
Meredith" in a convenient, tasteful edition.
1t is called a pocket edition, and the
volumes certainly fit that description, but
In this age Of fiat jewellers the possibility
Of finding permanent space for the sixteen
little volumes, which in clear legible type.
on thin paper that is Opaque. contain the
complete works of a distin guished writer.
will be appreciated greatly.
BY the process Of survival Mr.. Meredith
at rs has become the chief Of English men
Of letters. What rank he will take in lit
erature the future must show; in his life
time, certainly, it has been chiefly to edu-
Gated readers that he has appealed. In
this edition the text is that of his latest
revision. He has never hesitated to re-
wise, and some day when a critical edition
Of his works appears the changes between
his first writing. particularly Of the earlier
books, and the last will make interesting
material for the commentators.
Four volumes in neat bindings are now
before us. These contain -The Ordeal Of
Richard Feverel," Diana Of the Cross
ways" "Sandra Belloni,' which was first
called Emilia in England, and 'Vittoria.'
The volumes are sold separately.

IL.

The author, for his part, Is convinced that
the dawn of life is not a subject o~f'research
that need be abandoned in despair. He
comedies that it must have taken place,
as Huxley AYERS, in the remote vista OF the
past, when the earth was passing through
physical and chemical conditions that
perhaps it can no moro see again than man
can recall his infancy. 1t is also admitted
that the living types upon our planet at the
present day are, for the most part at any
rate, II not altogether, the descendants Of a
long series of ancestors extending from a
remote past down to the present day. Con-
sidering this aspect Of his theme in his fifth
chapter, the author points out that the
types Of living matter which we see
around us constitute after all only a
fraction, and perhaps an enthusiastically
small fraction, Of the vast numbers Of such
types that once existed but have long since
perished. Amid this vast variety a few
possessed the qualities which enabled them
to perform the function Of transmitting
their kind, and a still smaller number the
power of transmitting the kind Of organ
isms which would persist in the surround
ines which nature had laid out for them:
till at length, as if against all opposition,
"a race was formed with conscience enough
to know that 1t was vile and intelligence
enough to know that 1T was insignificant"
This race itself, like the individuals which
constitute it, may die in its turn. 4The
uneasy oonsciousn ess which for a brief
time had in this obscure corner broken
the silence OF the universe will then be at
rest. Imperishable monument and i'm
mortal deeds. death itself, and love,
rong than death, will be as though
they never had been" From these con-
siderations it would not appear, as Mr..
A. j. Balfour has suggested, that anything
should be better or be woree for all
that the labor, genius, devotion and
suffering Of Man have striven through
countless generations to effect" In the
eleventh chapter Mr.. Burke maintains
that spontaneous generation cannot he
demonstrated, because in no experiment
can we he certain that oil forms
of life have been destroyed. inasmuch as
there may be, and probably are. organic
types quito invisible under the highest mi
croscopic powers at our disposal. I'm
doubtedly it may be asserted that in given
circumstances all visible organic forms
have been destroyed, but il cannot be-
shown that ultra-microscopic or even
ultra-atomic types Of organic life do not re-
main, Sterilizing Is always open to the
objection that some germs totally diff
ferent from those which had been eliminated
