Catching Turtles.

A curious mode of catching turtles is practice in the West Indies. Ii consists in attaching a ring and a line 10 the tail of species of sucker fish. which is then thrown overheard, and immediately makes for the first tnrtle he can spy, to which he at- taches himself very firmly by means of a sucking apparatus on the top of his head. The fisherman then hauls both turtle and sucking fish in.

The Electric Railroad.

Elsewhere in these columns will be
seen the advertisement of the w., F. &
G. Railway Company for crossties. This
is one among the first contracts to be
made.
The franchise for the use of 4th street,
Frederick, has been so amended as to
meet the approval of the company, and
active work will begin in very short
time to grade and otherwise construct
the road. The Board of Directors met
OH Saturday last and otdered certain con-
tracts to be let, and placed the matter of
building the road in the hands of the ex-
ecutive committee. The president was
authorized to proceed to get the balance
of the right of way, if not amicably, then
by condemnation proceedings.
1t was also decided to provide for the
building and financing of the road thro'
to Emmitsburg, provided, of course, that
a certain amount of stock be raised from
Thurmont north to and including En-
mitsburg. We trust the enterprising cit
liens of Emmitsburg will at once bestir
themselves and see that the road is built
to their town. 1t should all be built at
one time, as it is much easier to finance
the road to Emmitsburg, % miles, than
to Thurmont, 16 miles. Let US all work
together, and when our fondest hopes are
realized by having trolley road from
Emmitsburg and Thurmont to Frederick,
then we can rest assured that nothing
will prevent it from going to the objec-
tive points named in it's charter Wash
ington and Gettysburg and become a
reality instead of a name. Assuredly
bright days are coming for our town and
for all that section of Frederick county
through which the road will traverse,
and no one will be prouder than ourselves
when the first trolley lands in Thurmont.

That Acetylene Light.

The acetylene gas lamp erected last
week in front of the Citizens Savings
Bank illustrated on Sunday evening last
its worth in dark town. Atprescnt the
town is being lighted by the moon, but
on Sunday evening the light of the moon
was obscured by heavy clouds and the
town was very dark. The gas was left
burning until about $50 p. m. 1t made
a beautiful light and lit up much larger
portion of street than the lamps now in
use. We suppose the town commission
ers were on the streets during the even
ing and saw for themselves the great i'm
provement over the old kerosene light.
We hope to hear Of some action being TAX
en- to install an acetylene gas plant in the
near future, provided however, that there
is no opportunity for the town being
lighted by electricity.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.

Freight rates on agricultural lime have
been reduced from LeGore, Md, to all
points on the W. NJ. II. r. This is Of great
importance to you, as it puts you in posi-

Our lime is shipped hundreds of miles and
into ten (l0) different states for agricultural
Use, and its superior quality has been known
for years. We can manufacture the hest
lime on the market because we have the
best formation of limestone in the East
And we have had experience enough 10

A Monster Shark Captured.

Sharks often attain a very large
size along the Pacific coast, especially
off the shores of Southern California.
Very recently, a monster shark was
captured by two Italian fishermen in
San Pedro Bay, that is claimed to be
the largest fish of that kind ever
caught in the world. Beyond doubt
it is certainly one of the largest ever
captured anywhere.
When drawn out of the water and
killed, this sea monster weighed A.
600 pounds. 1t measured from tip
to tip 80 feet, and the circumference
Of the body just forward of the huge
dorsal fin was Is feet. Across the
fearful Observation-Disclosures
opened it was q feet, while from the
tip of the snout to the point of the
lower jaw it measured 81 feet. The
size of the huge mouth may be judg-
ed by being large enough for two
children to be comfortably seated
therein.
The shark became hopelessly en-
meshed in some 800 feet of the fish
ermen's net. The net he speedily
tore into strips, but in the giant Great
ure's efforts to escape, the strings and
ropes were wound many times around
its gills, and the shark was held a
fast prisoner. Despite its long and
frantic struggles for freedom, the
shark was finally stranded and killed
with harpoons. The struggle lasted
for more than an hour. The mon
stcr's stomach was found full of fish.
1t was engaged in robbing the net
when it became entangled.
So far as here known, the largest
shark yet caught was % feet long
10 feet shorter than the San Pedro
Bay monster. In capturing the lat
ter the two fishermen had many mar
row escapes from being snapped up
by the creature. 1t made a long,
savage, and desperate struggle for its
life. The shark was skinned and
stuffed, and has been placed on exhi-
bition. Efforts, it is understood. are
being made by the Smithsonian In
stitution to secure this splendid spec
linen of the shark family Scientific

Franchise Amended.

At special meeting of the Mayor and
Aldermen last night, petition from
owners of property on Fourth street, ask
ing that the section of the franchise
granted to the Washington, Frederick
& Gettysburg Railway Company, re-
lating to paving, be amended so as not to
require the company to pave between and
alongside the tracks until the balance of
= the street is paved, was presented.
Mr.. Frank v. Staub acted as spokes-
man for the committee of property own
ers which presented the petition. He
stated that there were seventy-five sig
natures to the petition and that these
represented more than half the owners
of property on Fourth street. The COM
mittee, he said, had not been able to see
all the property owners, but had learned
that some who had not been seen had ex-
pressed their willingness to sign the pc
tition. Only four who were seen, he said,
had refused to sign it.
The petition was as follows:
''To the Mayor and Board of Aldermen
of Frederick City, Maryland:
1--WE, the undersigned, taxpayers, res
idents and property owners of Fourth
street, in Frederick City, Maryland, do
hereby petition your honorable body to
allow the Washington, Frederick & Get
tysburg Railway Company to lay their
tracks on Fourth street without requir-
ing said company to pave with bricks or
material other than that which is now
used OH said street, until such time as
your honorable body and the property
owners of said Fourth street might de-
mand the paving of said street or any
block thereof"
After receiving this petition, members
of the board stated that they were per-
fectly willing to grant it. They were in
favor of the railroad, they said, and had
inserted the paving provision in the fran
chise only in the interest of the Fourth
street property owners. If the latter
were willing to have the railway put
down without the paving, the Aldermen
said, there would be no objection on the
part of the board.
City Attorney Levy then read an ordi-
nance amending the railway franchise,
as requested in the property owners pc
tition, and the ordinance was passed unan-
imously by the board. Daily Nesos of Ju-

It has been announced that a troll
ley line will soon be built from York
to Gettysburg via Hanover. The To-
cal line will be continued from the
McSherrytown terminus through
Edge Grove, Centennial and Bonneau-
vile to Gettysburg.
When the line is completed to Get
tysburg and the recently surveyed line
from York to Hanover is finished
there will be a continuous roadway
from Philadelphia to Gettysburg. The
distance of $50 miles will have only
one break, that being at the Susque-
hanna river, where a ferry will be
used.

German scientists announce that
the material for man weighing $50
pounds can be found in the whites
and yolks of 1, 200 hens eggs.
Reducted to a fluid, the average
man, says the New York Herald,
would yield 81 cubic meters of illum-
mating gas, and hydrogen enough to
fill balloon capable of lifting 155
pounds.
The normal human body has in it
the iron needed to make seven large
nails, the fat for IA pounds of cam
dies, the carbon for "a gross of cray
ons and phosphorus enough for $780,
600 matches. Out of it can be OBJ

Tournament stopped by Rain.

A thunderstorm on Friday afternoon
broke during the early part of the Tennis
Tournament at Aurora Cottage, between
teams representing the Thurmont Lawn
Tennis Association and the Frederick
Tennis Association, the score standing as
follows:
First set, DeGrange and R. Toms for
Frederick defeated Birely and 10y for
Thurmont GO. The second set stood
4-3 in favor of Thurmont when thegame
was called on account of rain.
The return geme was played on the
grounds of the Frederick Tennis Associa-
ton on Tuesday afternoon, the results
being as follows:
Jolliffe and X. Toms for Frederick de-
feated Birely and 10y for Thurmont two
sets out of three, the scores being as fol-
lows, TO, 81 and 6-3.
L. Toms and Hayden for Frederick de-
feated Seton and Matthias for Thurmont
two straight sets as follows, 6--3 and
Ga.
Jolliffe and r. Toms proved to be Fred
erick's strongest team, the feature OF
the game being the careful playing of
Jolliffe. Birely and 10y fought every
point to the finish and Frederick players
admit that they were not sure of the VIC
tory until the last stroke had been won.
The people of Frederick seem to be in
different about tennis, very few specta-
tors being present and in fact the attend
ance at the game i'll Thurmont was far
greater than that at Frederick.
The Thurmont people are to be COM
mended for their spirit of enthusiasm
and may it not only continue but increase.

wILHIDE.
The community was saddened to hear
of the sudden death of Mr.. Daniel L..
Wilhide, an old and respected citizen,
which occurred on Wednesday, July 25.
Mr.. Wilhide; always active and indus
trious, had gone to his corn field to plough,
seemingly in good health. The appear
ance of the horse which came home alone
caused Mr.. Wilhide's daughter, Miss
Rhua, to hasten to the field to see what
had happened. On arriving she was hor-
rified to see the dead body of her father
lying, having died of apoplexy, there.
The family has the sympathy of the en-
tire community. Funeral services were
held at the U. B. Church on Friday af'
ternoon at 2 o'clock and were largely at
tended. Rev. Rider pastor of the church
conducted the funeral services and was
assisted by Revs. w. L. Martin and J.
F. Kaiser. Col. John r. Rouzer spoke
feelingly in behalf of the G. A. r. and
referred to the fact that they both had
been in the same regiment during the
Civil War, and testified to the valued ser.
vices of the deceased to his country.
Mr.. Wilhide was a member Of Co. D,
9Th Maryland Regiment. He enlisted al
Baltimore, August 20, 1862 and was mus
tered out at the same place June2O, 1865

Enthusiastic For Canal.

The commission recently appoint
cd by President Roosevelt, under a
resolution of Congress, to inquire in
to the practicability of the Govern
ment building the proposed Chcsa..
peake and Delaware canal, met and
organized in Baltimore Monday, with
Gen. Felix Angus as chairman. The
other two members of the commission
are Major Clement A. Flagler, OF the
army, and Lieut.. Frank Taylor Cham
bers, of the navy.
Under the resolution, the commits
sion is to make a thorough invcstiga-
ton of the project and report to the
next Congress. If favorable to the
construction of the canal, the COM
mission is to recommend a route.
The commission intends to take a
trip of inspection this week over the
canal routes. The idea of the COM
mission is that the canal should be a
free and open waterway, which will
accommodate the largest vessels afloat.
