KILLING THE LOBSTERS.
The Shell Fish in New York Waters
Being Exterminated.

Lobster fishing is rapidly disappear
ing as one of the novel industries of
New York City and those accustomed
to eat that species OF shell fish will
soon be deprived of fiat pleasure. For
years the lobster fishermen who set
their pots in the upper and lower bay
had headquarters in Stapleton, S. L.,
and there it was possible to obtain at
all seasons of the year the choicest
grade of food for 10 cents pound or
about half the price charged by the
average Manhattan retailer. At that
price the fishermen had what they con
sidered excellent returns for their
work.
Until about a year ago a catch of be
tween 200 and 300 pounds of lobster
a day was considered an average haul,
and that Melted the bayTnan and his
boy helper between $50 ana S45 for
their short days labor.
In recent months, however, the
catches have been decidedly small, and
the fishermen believe that within an
other year a New York lobster will be
a rarity. The daily catches now aver
ase fifteen pounds. and when one mans
pots yield twenty-five pounds he con-
siders himself fortunate One by one
the men who have spent the greater
part OF their lives In the business are
abandoning the work and seeking new
means Of earning livelihood
The pouring of acids and refuse into
the bay, thereby poisoning its waters,
is killing the lobster and also other
kinds OF fish.

TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE.
Europe in Sad Straits with Horde of
Returning Immigrants.


1t is a curious commentary on the
economic conditions of the old world
that the turn in the tide of American
immigration is causing serious trouble
in Italy, Austria, Germany, Sweden
and Norway. If the industrial condi-
tons Of the United States of America
threaten to be bad, they are infinitely
worse in the countries named. Italy
complains the loudest because the sit
uation there is the most serious. Her
returning horles do not bring suih-
cient money TO support them more than
a few weeks at most, while many land
practically penniless. The authorities
there confess themselves unable to deal
with the problem.
The Germans, however, are much
better provided with money on an av'
erage than the Italians. Business cen
ditions in Sweden and Norway are SO
bad this unexpected influx is truly ap
palling and much distress is Inevitable
in the severe northern winter.
