Origin Of ssvote. y

"Voten is a word with a curious
history. TO the Roman votumn
was a solemn promise made to a
deity. From the solemn promise
itself the meaning of 'votum''
gradually became the prayer or in
tense wish that accompanied the
promise, and then any intense
wish whatever. So far the deveI-
opment proceeded in Latin and
vote passed into English with
the same sense. When Ben Jon
son wrote Of '.public votes" to
Heaven he meant not mass-meet
ing resolutions, but prayers.
Finally vote" acquired its pres
ent meaning - the formal and
emphatic expression Of a wish;
while the old sense remains with
its doublet wow"

HAVE AN OBJ OCCUPATION
Fishing for Lost Anchors Is Strange
Vocation Of Fishermen Along
Atlantic Coast.

Fishing for lost anchors and an
chor chains from the bottoms ol
hays and seas along the coast does
not seem to be very profitable
pursuit, and yet several sloope
and schooners are engaged excIu
sively in that ~trade." Such s'fish-
ing" is most profitable in the
stretch OF sea off Delaware break.
water, a place widely known
among seafaring men as a great
cemetery for anchors. This is due
to the large number of vessels
that are compelled to ride of the
breakwatsr and to their being
caught in gale while doing 80.
The sea foor at this point seems
to have peculiar facility for foul
ing anchors, and vessels are often
compelled to abandon them. But
all along the Atlantic coast there
is fruitful fishing" even the in
terror waters Of the harbor repay
ing a careful search, and surveys
have been made for some distance
up the North and East rivers.
Fishing for anchors is very
simple operation. A chain loop is
let down over the sides Of the
boat until it trails along the bot
tom, and as the boat sails on all
hands stand alert waiting for a
bite The tackle is plain, but IL
has never been improved on. An
chors invariably lie with one
fuke buried in the mud and the
other sticking straight up. If the
chain is dragging toward the in
ner curve Of the upturned fluke
the "catch" is easy. The anchor is
carefully hoisted by hand, or, if |
very heavy, by capstans. In the |
case of an anchor that weighs
1000 or 5000 pounds driving en- |
gine is employed. 1t is very sell
dom that the fishermen lose their
booty. Sometimes two vessels
work together dragging a chain
along the sea bottom between
them.
Generally anchors thus recov.
cred are sold to be used as anchors
again, for even considerable rust
does not impair their efficiency.
When they are deeply eaten by \
rust they are sold for old iron, but
anchors thus found are generally
fit for use. Being made OF
wrought iron, even when sold by
the pound they bring a good price.
The fishermen have two WAYS of
of their wares. They
either sell them to the fish chan
dlers or hawk them about among
the vessels of the harbor. Some
times they are placed for sale on
the wharfs, with the prices at.
tached.
Generally the recovered an
chors bring good prices. New
ones are sold for FIVE cents u
pound and the ones that have been
tished up seldom depreciate in
value more than a cent a pound.
The fisherman therefore makes
$40 on every thousand pounds re-
covered. If he captures one Of the
heaviest anchors 5000 pound
er--he is well paid for his tronble.
But the monsters of that size are
seldom captured. The average is
between 1.5OO and $500 pounds.

an individual cannot mail at regular post
age rates, and the other prevents commit
tees. organizations or associations of cid-
zens from enjoying the ranking privilege.
Members of the committee believe a great
saving will result to the government In
freeing the mails from furniture heavy re-
ports and supplies of a nature which de-
partments have been permitted to frank
but which an individual could not send by
mail.
These provisions will materially reduce
the weight of mail at weighing periods, and
consequently the weights, upon which the
remuneration of railways Is estimated, will
be Iessened.
Last years appropriation for the Post
Office Department was 1871. 022. 093 1t Is
estimated that the amount of mail In
creases 10 per centum annually and the in
crease in appropriation agreed upon is re-
as can satisfactorily meet the growth OF the
malls The only item in the bin upon
which the committee was not a unit was
the subsidy of 1861 coo for the continuance
Of the fast mall train on the Southern rail-
way from Washington to New Orleans,
leaving Washington at am. daily. This
is the only direct subsidy paid to any rail-
way company for fast mail service but It's
supporters, including Chairman Overstreet,

and commended that lack of competing lines

MR.. BEvERIDGE BEGINS.
Addresses the Senate on the Statehood
Bill,


The time of the Senate yesterday was
occupied by three senators. Mr.. Beveridge
supporting the statehood bill and Messrs.
McCumber and Patterson opposing 1t.
The Indiana senator did not begin to
speak until after 3 o'clock. He contended
that while Arizona and New Mexico were
unprepared for separate statehood 1t was
unjust to keep them out of the Union as
one state. He took positive ground against
the Foraker amendment. which allows each
territory to vote separately on the question
of jointure.
Mr.. McCumber opposed the Joining of
even Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and
Mr.. Patterson held that Arizona and New
Mexico should be admitted as separate
states.
Under agreement arrived at a week ago
the Senate will begin voting on the amend
ments offered to the bill at 4 pm today
and the final vote will be taken before adj
1ourntng for the day
MI Beyerfdge began his speech with
reply to Mr.. Patterson's observation con-
corning the origin of the joint statehood
idea, saying that 1t was not a matter upon
which the people of the territories should
be consulted. The people OF the entire
country were concerned over the creation OF
states. and the senator commended that Con-
gress should proceed upon that theory and
not upon the more contracted plan OF con-
sulting the residents OF the areas embraced
In proposed states. Congress has unlimited
power In the matter and should exercise II.
As going to show that Arizona might ulti-
mately accept union with favor. Mr.. Bever-
fdge said that while originally the people

bier located in Alexandria and separated a
large number OF gentlemen from their
money. He demoraHzed the entire COM
munity and the authorities could not get
rid of him because his victims were too
chivalrous or too proud to testify against
the sharper Finally somebody remem-
bered an old yangrant law which author
lied the police to arrest and sell at auction
for a term of years as laborer any per
son having no visible means of support In
order to prevent him from becoming
burden on the town. Under this Anticipated
statute the gambler was arrested and
broght before the police magistrate. When
placed upon the stand he testified that he
had no occupation or visible means of sup
port. whereupon the court decided that he
was a vagrant and sentenced him to three
years of labor for the benefit of the COM
munity.
According to the terms of the statute 1T
was ordered that his labor should be Of
fered at auction. The gambler at first
thought 1t was a great Joke, but he soon
changed his mind. When he was brought
out on the court house steps and heard
the sheriff explain that his time and labor
for three years could be purchased by the
highest bidder, he began to realize that he
was up against real thing. The nagis-
trate to whom he appealed explained to
itiiii that ~hcic Wds iiO kc1ooi why CuuAo
not bid for himself. and he did SO and kept
1t up desperately against several of his
victims until they ran the price up to 5000,
and his time and labor for three years
finally was knocked down to himself by the
observation-disclosures for 1900 a year. He
paid that sum and the costs Of the trial to
the clerk OF the court and left town. He
was never seen In Alexandria again.
The city authorities did not know what
to do with the money. The proceedings
were condemned by q great many good
people. They declared that 1t was tainted
money and should not be used Finally
1t was decided to use II to buy a clock
tower. and that seemed to satisfy the

WHERE LIGHTNING STRIKES
At functions and on Sharp Curves
and Bends of Trolley
Lines.

II. II. Adams, Baltimore street
railway man, has clever method of
finding out where lightning is likely
TO strike one of his cars
According to the Street Railway
Journal he keeps in his Office large
map of the system, and whenever a
car crew reports that car has been
damaged by lightning, he sticks a pin
in the map at the point where the car
was at the time.
1t is astonishing how quickly a rec
ord of this kind will show up the loca-
lions that seem to be especially sus-
ceptible to lightning discharges. In
the course of the season a few points
will have a miniature forest OF pins
grouped around them, while long
stretches of track will show no pins
at all
When a particular location begins
TO accumulate a collection Of these tell
tale pins, a lightning arrester can be
installed at this point and the trouble
at once eliminated or at least material
ally reduced. From graphic records
kept in this way over a period OF
years IL has been determined that the
most vulnerable points are at juno
tions OF lines and at sharp bends and
curves.

PICKING WAY ACROSS PAST
There Is Some Sport in Finding
Path Over Mountain
Businesses.

Picking a way Is good fun. You
must first scout ahead in general. Then
you determine more carefully just
where each hoof is to fall. For in
stance, says Outing Magazine, il is
question of whether you are to go
above or below certain small ledge.
You decide on going below, because
thus you will dodge a little climb, and
also a rather slippery looking rock
slide. But on investigation you find,
hidden by the bushes. riven bowlder.
There is no way around II. So, then,
retrace your steps to the place where
you made your first choice. The up
per route again offers you an alterna-
tive. You select one; II turns out
well; forks again. But you discover
both these forks utterly impracticable.
So back you must hike to the very be-
ginning to discover, If you can, per-
haps a third, and heretofore uncon-
sidered chance. Then, IL none are good,
you must cast in review the features
Of all your little explorations in order
to determine which best lends itself to
expedients. This consumes time, but Il
Is great fun.
