$500 bonds to answer to the charge
of fraud in putting bundles of laths
between ceilings and floors, and thus
charging the contractor for the laths
put out of sight.
Contractor Donagan has been Won
dering for many weeks where all the
laths went on a number of houses he
was building, and the workmen told
him he had m~iscalculated the number
used. Dohagan knew better, and be-
coming suspicious of the looks of a
ceiling, tore a hole in it, and found
laths in bundles placed between the
floor studding and the ceiling. He
went over the houses and has rescued
many thousands of laths.

SHAD WILL SOON
BECOME EXTINCT

The season for catching shad is
again closed and the record of the
catch shows a large decrease over last
year, and thus it has been since the
season of 1898.
During that year, the catch was
phenomenal, but since then there has
been a rapid and regular decrease in
the catch until the season just closed
has been written down as the poorest
in the history of the industry. Prices
have advanced proportionally with
the decrease in the catch until the
last season, when the quality was so
poor that prices could be forced no
higher, and, consequently the poor
catch of the season has had a telling
effect upon the finances of every one
interested or engaged in the industry.
Everything points to an early ex-
termination of the shad. Artificial
propagation has been proven to be
entirely inadequate to keep up the
supply of this succulent and profita-
BILE variety of fish. The obstacles and
conditions as they exist at present
prevent its perpetuation and nothing
but stringent laws against existing
evils and their proper enforcement
will save it.
