Shad on Sale In Markets.

Shad and herring from the waters of the
Carolina sounds have been on sale at the
wholesale fish market on the wharf for
several days past and are commanding
high prices. the roe shad selling at s1.5O
each and the bucks at go cents each. Flor
ida shad are also on sale. but they bring
about half the price of the Carolina fish.
The recent cold weather and the making of
ics on the river has interfered greatly with
the preparations at several Of the larger
hshing shores to get the big haul seines
into the water. and 1t may be month
before they are in operation. The move
ment of the shad and herring northward Is
taken by the fishermen to mean that the
hshing season on the Potomac will open
this year about the LIST of April.
All forecasts as to the success of the
season are but guesses." is what an old Po-
ton:ac fisherman told a Star reporter yes
terday afternoon, when asked what he
thought of the outlook.
ASK me next June and I will be better
able to give you an answer" was the reply
of another fisherman when asked the same
question by The Star man.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
Expenses More Than Those of the
Capitol.

Expenditures by the Library Of Congress
were generally investigated yesterday by
the subcommittee of the House committee
on appropriations, which is preparing the
legislative bill. The annual cost of the
care and maintenance Of the library build
ing and grounds Is $4,000 or nearly $4,000
more than the cost for similar service In the
Capitol, a much larger building.
Superintendent Green of the library build
ing and grounds was before the subcom-
mittee much Of the day. Mr.. Green's sal
airy for his service at the library Is S., 900
a year. and he draws another government
salary of $1,000 from the National Mu-
scum. Several members of the subcom-
mittee suggested that 1t might be well in
reducing the expenses to begin with the
superintendent salary, and said they be-
lieved an 81 800 man would be fully compe-
tent to perform the service rendered by the
superintendent
The subcommittee has also gone into lists
of persons employed as assistants to the IL
brarian, and Librarian Putnam's state
ments have shown that Massachusetts has
been drawn upon more than any other part
of the country for assistants, and the south
has furnished onlf thirty-four of a staff
of more than 800.

JUDGE MULLowNY THANKED.
Commendatory Resolutions Adopted
by Mothers' Club.

Judge Alexander Mulowny of the Police
Court was congratulated and thanked at
meeting of the North Washington Mothers
Club last right in resolutions that were
unanimously adopted The resolutions re-
cited that Judge Mullowny has already
earned the appreciation and thanks of the
humane people of this community by his
disposition to temper justice with mercy
in cases that come before him, and that
appear to him to be deserving of such con-
sheraton
The cases of several young men arrested
for drunkenness were cited In which Judge
Mulowny instead of degrading the erring
ones by consigning them to the work house
allowed them to sign the temperance pledge,
thus giving them chance to make another
effort to lead correct lives"
An article in The Star yesterday referring
to three young men who came into court
with their pledges and were given words of
encouragement by the judge was read and
applauded. Mrs. Mary Kennedy was dele
gated to present the resolutions to, Judge
Mullowny. They set forth also that "Presi-
dent Roosevelt made no mistake in appoint
ing the successor of the late Judge Scott"
and expressing the hope that other appoint
ments of the same kind may be made in
the future.

PAUL DUNBAR DEAD
NOTED POET OF NEGRO RACE
sUccuMBED TO CONSUMPTION.

Paul Lawrence Dunbar. the poet of the
negro race, died at his home in Dayton.
Ohio, yesterday afternoon of consumption.
For three years he had been seriously III,
and for year critically Ill. but he kept at
his work internationally, and wrote his last
poem for his Christmas book. "Howdy.
Honey Howdy," just before Christmas.
Mr. Dunbar is survived by his mother. his
widow and two half-brothers. Robert and
William Murphy who reside in Chicago. He
will be buried in Woodland cemetery. Day
ton, the first of next week, many persons
of note being expected to attend.
Paul Laurence Dunbar was born In 1877 at
Dayton, Ohio, and there, at the common
and high schools, he received all the school
education he ever had. However. there was
something in the lad that defed the lack of
means to go to college, as he desired, and
he read all the books he could command, and
his conversation and work in later years
demonstrated that he was a man of broad
education. He was a delicate boy and did
not care for outdoor sports. He preferred

LIFE INSURANCE CASES
PLAN TO PROSECUTE MCCALL

There were two developments OF extreme
importance In life insurance matters in

First That unless District Attorney Je-

against both John A. Mccall and Andrew
Hamilton. and for the extradition OF HAM
ilton. Attorney General Mayer will seek
authority from Gov Higgins to fmpanei
an extraordinary grand jury and ask that

Immediately follow.

tncloss being ranged on one side. Mr. Fish
on the other All OF the lawyers retained
by the committee-James B. Dill, ID. Cady
Herrick and cambridge Colby-are with
Mr. Fish. The split was caused by a reso-
lutte refusal on the part OF Mr.. Fish and
the lawyers to longer continue q fake"
investigation. M. Auchincloss and Mr..
Truesdale have sided with President Charles
A. peabody, who was placed at the head
Of the company by Fl. H. Rogers.
The Standard OH interests In the Mutual
have tied the hands of the investigating
CoHlIHittee ever since the latter part or
November, when the first report resulted in
the retirement Of President Richard A. Nc

garded as beyond repair.
Fowler Report Stirred Mayor.
The report of the Fowler committee, 1t
can be authoritatively stated, is regarded
by both Gov. Higgins and Attorney General
Mayer as sufficient evidence in Itself for
the criminal prosecution OF both Mccall and
Hamilton.
The attorney general, 1t was learned yes
terday, has been in close touch with the
Fowler committee, and has been kept in
formed of each discovery as 1t was made
The attorney general kept Gov. Higgins
posted. and in consequence the amazing
disclosures made by the committees report
did not surprise either official.
1t is the purpose Of the attorney general
to have conference early next week with
District Attorney Jerome, and learn
whether he intends to move against Mccall
and Hamilton. 1t Is the hope OF the ofti-
GERS OF the state that Mr.. Jerome will in
itiate the proceedings, and they expect Rim

Dear Sir: Here's a tale with three or
four tails 20 it.
Professor Irvine has al Academy,
Mercersburg, Penn. He paints the
floors in summer vacation. 1t used to
take 80 gallons of pant. There were
two paint stores there. and he used to
buy Zone pear one, next year oi the
other 80 gallons year after year.
Now he paints Devoe; 90 gallons and
the difference is a saving of $50 a
Year.
ii G Fallon was one of those dealers,
good man; but he wouldn't take-up
Devoe; so we turned to tho other, j A
Boyd. But Fallon has found il neces-
saIy TO get good paint to compete
with Devoe He has a big hardware
store and is doing an excellent hard
ware business; but Boyd, of course, has
the run on point-he's a little hard
ware man,
We don't care how little or big a
man is, if he wants good paint and il
active and sound.

Buried Here.

The remains of w. A. Ward, who
died suddenly at his home, Amarillo,
Texas, last Saturday, reached Taze-
well on Wednesday, and were laid to
rest at his old home in the west end OF
the county. His wife, son, adopted
daughter, Miss Fannie, and Mr.. Sam
j. Thompson, accompanied the remains
on the sad journey.
The news of Mr.. Wards death. which
reached here by telegram on Sunday
morning, was great shock to the en-
tire community. No more popular man
ever lived in this county. He had not
been well for a month before his death.
He returned few days ago from
Chicago, not at all well, and his death
occurred day or two afterward, sud
denly and unexpected.
Mr.. Ward is survived by Revs J
b., George and Sam Ward, brothers.
Mrs II. A. George, a sister, living now
In Eastern Virginia, besides a large
number OF relatives less closely con
nected. He was in the Sind wear of
his age, a successful business man,and
OF consistent christian life, and his
death is greatly regretted here as
well as in Amarillo, Texas, the home
of his adoption, and where he had
taken high stand as a business man
and citizen.
