miles from the point of hooking 1t. In 1904 took two anglers with me to Aransas Pass. Neither had as yet caught a tarpon. The first sight that one of them, a Chicago millionaire, ever had of live tarpon was to see him jump clear over his head, boat and all, with the line over both knees. In passing the line oyer the bow of the boat the fish jumped again and wet him as thoroughly as if he had been dropped into the gulf.
 The writer knows of no fish that can approach the tarpon in gameness un- less 1t be the salmon, and, while he has neer brought to net or gaff this chief tain of swift-flowing rivers, he has a fixed ambition to add the lardly salmon to his list of game fish. He has friends who have fought this noble fish in Scotland and Norway, and others who, with large outfits, have traversed the mapless rivers, lakes, plains and noun tains of Labrador and who have landed salmon many miles from where they were hooked, and who declare that they are the very gamest of fish. The latter, however he finds impossible to alto- gether believe, because he knows the fighting qualities of the tarpon.
 He can not believe that any fish can equal the wild runs of from one hun dred to four hundred feet of the tar pon. He can not believe that there lives anything the fnny world that can half approach the tarpon's mad, fren- zied leap upon leap of from five to fif- teen feet clear above the horizon line with the sun flashing upon his silvery sides like mirror and the blood spat- tering from his gills as he shakes his noble head to free himself from the barb of a Mills hook. He can not be- lieve that anything can equal the esmash of this fish as he hurls himself upon the surface of the water-churn- ing it into white foam and sending the spray dancing in the sunlight fully ten feet high, where oftentimes a miniature rainbow will simmer for a second or two where this dynamite torpedo of the seas has left his wake.
 He knows of nothing more satisfac- tory to the heart of an angler than the gleaming silver scales of a conquered tarpon nor the sensation of victory that sweeps over him as he looks down upon this knightly fish, the surrender of which has tested eery ounce Of his endurance and brought forth the sweat of hard work.
 There are but three points in the world where the tarpon can be caught in sufficient numbers to warrant the time and expense requisite.
 The oldest and best known is the west coast of Florida. Next comes Aransas Pass, on the southern coast of 1 Texas. Tarpon can be taken at either

gradual development of that business through it's various stages to the Asso- ciated Press of to-day, which he char acterized as "the greatest news collect ing and distributing agency ever estab- lished. which has been so successfully built up by the genius of Melville E. Stone"
 The speaker said that the newspaper is Q business operation, and only those publications can be classed as newspa- pers which meet their expenses out of their normal revenue and sustain themselves, in other words, are sustain ed by the public desire for them, Any thing less is fad, tract or an exper- iment. Since the newspapers have be- come self-sustaining enterprises they have developed an independence which has been of very great general benefit.
 Starting in the small way that has been outlined and making it's way along hand in hand with the restless spirit of progress, contributing to and profiting by its uneasiness, the newspa- per has come up from an irresponsible, irregular and insignificant publication, receiving little respect yet perhaps all 1t deserved, to be a great business en- terprise and great social institution, vitally connected with all our affairs and apparently indispensable in the
 life of the individual and of the com munity. The modern newspaper has been made possible by the advances in machinery, which have so greatly cheapened production. Linotype ma machines that each do the work of five Or six skilled men, in setting type; presses that turn out 200 times as many copies in an hour as the first steam press of the London Times produced !: paper costing two cents pound where the cost used to be five or six times that-these, and many other similar cheapening processes have developed the great newspaper establishments of the day, and the unconscious humor of | economic evolution shows itself in the fact that the invention and application of all this labor saving machinery, dis placing apparently so many workers, have resulted in giving employment to far more persons than the newspaper business could ever have employed un- der the old methods.

them at Elm street. There was Mt. Carmel car coming"
 Lawyer Goodhart objected to this line of inquiry unless 1t should be stated what the other side claimed. If it was claimed that the objective point was the Roberts house he wanted to know it.
 MT. Hull said in reply: I've will get to the Roberts house in the evidence in due time. l wished to show how Mrs. Norton got acquainted with various students on different occasions"
 Dropping further inquiry as to events on that day, he inquired of Mr. Webb as to what happened on February 21
 MT. Webb testified that he saw Mrs. Norton go into Spalding's drug store on Church street. He peered in, but she had gone behind a partition.
 MT. Goodhart interposed here with objections, demanding if the plaintiff sought to insinuate or show that the defendant got a drink or drinks at Spalding's drug store. He added that MT. Hull, being a stranger here, did not evidently know the high character of MT. Spalding and the high reputation of his drug store, and he repudiated any insinuation of the kind.
 MT. Hull dropped further inquiry as to that day, and asked as to February l 27.
 1 Mir Webb said that on that day he saw the defendant with a girl named May Cooper, better known as 'Trixie. 1 On March 5, MT. Webb said, he saw Mrs. Norton salute or accost two street railroad conductors and a handsome woman with dark hair.
 "On March G." continued MT, Webb. T saw Mrs. Norton meet a student" At this point the name of the student t was withheld from the audience. The name was written on piece of paper by Mir Webb and the paper was then | passed around among the lawyers and to the court.
 This inviolable secret having been thus duly communicated, MT. Webb went on to say that Mrs. Norton, her i student friend and the girl named Trixie went into Heubein's and were in the ladies and gentlemen's dining room from p. m. to about D. m., when the party went to the oneeo i1o- tel. MT Webb was in company with his wife, his assistant, Lipke, and c. Fl, Hull, MT. Hull walked away and came back with George Horton. We took positions in a hallway across the street from the Oneco hotel We stood be- hind the doors and kept watch, look ing out of a window We watched over two hours, finally our vigils being re- warded by the appearance, at quar- ter of twelve, of the two women and their two student escorts. The party went up Church street and boarded a Fair Haven car.
 Yes, should say that Mrs. Norton was intoxicated Her hat was on askew-that Is (showing the courD, on | edgewise on the corner of her head She was talking in loud voice and swinging her hands. I should say her escort was intoxicated. Horton, Hull Mrs. Webb and Llpke; and myself fol- lowed on behind them, and saw taem board the car.

of these points any time from April td the latter part of October. Howeer, experience has proen that there are more fish at Aransas Pass and the an- glers expenses are less.
 The swift-f1oating Panuco river cit Tampico, Mex, is, undoubtedly the wins ter home of the tarpon. From Novems Der to the end of April thousands win- ter there. The writer has seen their rolling silver sides for miles.
 Here the angler is absolutely posis day. although until he learns to handle the fish he may not beach a single one for many days.
 The real discoerer of Tampico as al tarpon point is an American, pr. Howe, of the City of Mexico. On account of his haing passed the three-score-and ten mark it is reported he no longer fishes for the strenuous tarpon.
 E H. Brown, of Chicago has done more than any other angler to acquaint the lovers of big game fish with Tam4 pico. The pictures that accompany this article were taken by MT. Brown, who is an enthusiastic tarpon fisher It is not an easy task to photograph these fish and the sport of picturlng them is almost as exciting as catching them.
 There are several other species of big fish at Tampico. The sea bass is taken there weighing as much as five or six hundred pounds. Also very large sword and saw fish and sharks. Red and black snappers, ravallo and jack fish are abundant. The latter, however, are often a pest and, al- though a game fish that would be ad- mired anywhere else at Tampico the angler is after the king of all game fishes, and any lesser fish became a bore
 Tompico can be reached by railroad or by taking the Mexican American Steamship company's boats. This Is by far the best way to get to Tampico, as the tourist has the value of the voyage across the balmy gulf of Mexica. Boats, boatmen, tackle and bait can be had at Tampico, and the charge is reaI- sonable. The best hotel in the httle city called the Southern is run by Al M. Poindexter. an American, who does all he possibly can for the comfort and pleasure of his guests.-Will H. Dilg in | the Chicago Chronicle.

TARPooN FISHING EXCITING.
Angling for Big Fish Called the King

Angling for Big Fish Called the King
 of All Sports.
 About three hundred years ago Isaak Walton, perhaps the first of scientific anglers, wrote his classic, "The Com plete Angler within the pages of which will be found the art of catching every fish from the playful perch to the warlike trout and salmon.
 There is no doubt that Walton and his fishing comrade, Charles Cotton, knew more about fish and the gentle art of angling than did any others of their day, yet certain it is that these ancient fishermen in their widest fam cies never dreamed of the battling pro- pensities and unapproachable gameness of the king of all the waters, known to modern anglers as the tarpon or silver king"
 A champion fisherman of the east, whose reputation is known to anglers of the two hemispheres, thus describes the tarpon: T have fshe1 in almost all the waters of the world. I am a member of the Avalon Tuna club and have caught the largest tarpon on rec ord, a fish which consider the king of all game fishes on accoun of his extra ordinary leaping qualities.
 This magnificent fish is strictly an American and can be caught only in our southern seas, and only until re- gently his cauture was considered as difficult as was the taking of the gold en fleece.
 Anglers from all over the world have journeyed to our southern coasts to en- ter into contest with this silver knight.
 The writer while fishing in Tampico Mex, in 1905, met an Englishfnan who had come there from England for the tarpon fishing He had fished for all the game fish of the world excepting the tarpon and hunted big game i'll ev- cry remote corner of the earth. I fished with him and will never forget his first tarpon strike. Within two mintites after that event the fish had broken his rod and line. He looked at the same and remarked: T have shot elephants and wild boars and lions in Africa and tigers in India, but will be dashed if I ever struck anything like this fish" The next day with new outfit he landed his first tarpon six

TO INSTITUTE LEGAL ACTION.
Democrats to Take Aldermanic Con

Democrats to Take Aldermanic Con
 troyersy Into Courts.
 Attorney Talcott H. Russell last night declined to make any further state- ment regarding the aldermanic contro- versy other than what was said in a statement issued yesterday.
 Mir. Russell will be senior counsel in legal proceedings whiop will be insti- tuted immediately, probably quo war ranto proceedings.
 MT. Russell made tlfe following state- ment yesterday:
 The complications arising out of the controversy between the democratic and republican aldermen, concerning the legality of the appointment and election of one alderman and of the title of certain other officials arising out of that question, are liable, If con- tinued, to have disastrous results on the interests of the city Any question of that sort which throws doubt upon the legality of the action of persons claiming to be city officials, tends to shake confidence in the credit of the city.
 ITO avoid these results the democrat ic aldermen proposed to leave all the questions at issue to the decision of some lawyer in whom all parties had confidence, The republicans declined to aceede to that proposition.
 'The only possible course now is to have the questions decided by the court in the speediest possible way The democrats will now proceed to have that done at the earliest possible date. They do this in order that the question may be set at rest, and that the injury to public interests arising from pro- longed controversy may be avoided

CHARLES HOPKINS CLARK
)EL1TERS FIRST OF BROMLEY
 FOUNDATION LECTURES.

Distinguished Head of Hartford Cour-
 ant Tells of Wonderful Strides in the
 Process of Getting Out Newspaper
 Papers Form an Interesting and
 National Element of Unity--COmpli-
 ments for Widely Known Editors.
 Charles Hopkins Clark, the widely Known editor of the Hartford Courant, delivered the first of the Bromley foun- dation lectures on Journalism in Lamp son hall last night.
 MT. Clark began his address with a reference to Whitelaw Reid and St. Clair McKelway, men well known in the field of Journalism, and who have already been heard in the Bromley course and also paid compliment to his old friend Mir. Bromley, whom he regarded in many respects the most brilliant of all the long line of able ed- itorlal writers that Connecticut has produced. He pointed tout that the great awakening which has given such impetus to the nineteenth and twen- tieth centuries is traceable to the inf1u- ence of the printing press, and that at the present day the newspaper occu- pies for the greater time of the print ing press, taking not less than three quarters of the paper manufactured The papers issued in single twenty four hours in New York city would make a million ordinary sized volumes if published in book form. About 20,- 900 ,OOO copies of daily newspapers are circulated every day, of which fur fifth are published in ten states. and circulating all through the Union as they do these papers constitute an in- teresting and useful element of national unity.
 Free speech and free press have had to fight their way along together against the opposition of prejudice and privilege, and it is only in compara- lively recent times that Nthe freedom of the newspapers has been recognized.
 The speaker pointed out the influence of the few but widely circulated Amer ican newspapers of that time in bring ing on the American revolution. and cited various interesting paragraphs from the publications of that day illus- trative of the life of the time, such as slaves for sale and the lottery tickets for various highly moral causes.
 He pointed out that while papers 15C years ago were still well preserved, pa pers being published to-day on wood pulp paper are likely to decompose within a comparatively short time Cheap paper has made the modern newspaper possible, but probably it will make it more ephemeral. The amount of spruce used every year to make the newspapers of the United States would be represented by a wood pile 500 feet wide, 100 feet high and a mile long.
 The joint collection of news began in 1S47 with the New York Associated Press and the speaker referred to the
