Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Although the show at Jacques this week is not what person would term lively, nevertheless 1t Is a good bill and is highly entertaining. Paul Spadoni, the juggler and strong man is beautiful specimen of the we'll nigh perfect physical man, and is a most novel juggler of big and small articles. One of his feats is to juggle five cannon balls, each weighing 45 pounds: another is the raising of a 200 pound torpedo in the air and catching it on the back of his neck.
 He allows cannon balls to drop on the back of his neck with regularity that makes one wonder what his neck is made of. But 1t was "The Quartet" !" that won the applause of the audience last evening, and the four young men deserved the plaudits which went their way. They have no monkey doodle" business. but render their various numbers in a very capable manner. The only fault to find is that their selections are old. Hutch insou and Bainbridge have a skit, Out All Night" which Is brimful of funny situations and is we'll enacted by the team. Julian Rose. the Hebrew monologist, has monologue which was enjoyed by the audience last evening. His conception of the char. acter is good. Walter Daniels im- personates some of the celebrated actors of the day, including Richard Mansfield, David Warfield and Wil- ton Lackey. his make-ups being per fected in very short order. Anyone wishing to see good shooter and at the same time witness display of that called nerve, should run up to Jacques this week and sit through the act of McCrea and Poole. It is a thriller. schrode and Muiyey give the opening number. and the act is very poor.

THE GOD FISHERMAN
A PICTURESQUE CHARACTER or
 NEW ENGLAND SEA COAST.
His 10 a Life Of Peril and Hardship, But He Loves the Fight with the Sea tor its Flnny
 Treasure.

The Cape Cod fisherman will ever remain the most picturesque character of the eastern sea, and will in all prob ability always dress, act, eat and talk as did the fishermen of our early colonial days. The only important changes in his methods are the adop- ton of small power boats. made pos sible by the cheaply built and cheaply run gasoline engine, and the cold storage idea for his fresh fish. In all other noticeable particulars he is very much the same as he was when they burned witches in Salem and hanged Quakers in Boston.
 The Cape Cod fisherman Is type, and a splendid one. He is taught from birth to wage never ending battle with old ocean, who invariably resents the despoiling of her treasure beds, the breeding banks and favorite haunts of the cod, mackereI and her. ring by sweeping the best fishing wa ters with the most terrible gales known to seafarers, and the loss of life and property each year shows that our fish food supply is not maintained without constant warfare with wind and wave.
 So important is the salt codfish in. dustry becoming and so great the de- nand for salt fish as an army or navy ration on the ship stores for long voy- ages that our claim to being the only large producers of this food cannot long be sustained, The codf1sh catch of North America in 1905 was worth $12.500,000. about half of which be- longed to Newfoundland and Labrador. Canada's catch that year was worth s3,640, 900.
 It is sight worth seeing to be at the dock when the fishing boats come in laden to the waters edge with their barrels of fine mackerel, all glistening in the cold afternoon sunlight. The fish, still alive. with their tails flap ping, is a sight not soon to be forgot ten. The large open launches are filled with a crew of four men, in sea

 O'BRIEN-BURNS FIGHT PICTURES
 The recent boast of Miles brothers, the moving picture men, that they would take set of pictures that were "clear, distinct and without the .vestige of a flicker" seems to have been realized far beyond their fond est hopes. They took the films of the O'Brien-Burns twenty round bout at Los Angeles, and those who have seen them say that they are absolute ly perfect.

boots and sou westers, who stand by, with scoop nets on long handles, ready to dip the fish into baskets to be hauled up into the houses and sheds on the dock, where they are quickly weighed and thrown into large bins to be cleaned or shipped to the Boston and New York markets.
 The men in the boats while waiting for the baskets pick up long handled pitch forks. and with them weed out or sort over the catch. Several hun dred fine ling. whiting. founders, hake and fuke are often thrown over. board. When the catch is mackerel no other fsh are saved. dogfsh and other poor varities being cast away. It seems strange why good food fish should be wasted Why not give them to the poor? The fishermen said the poor would not take the trouble to come after them. Great hocks of sea gulls sail over the boats and swoop down to carry away such fish as can he carried. but soon the water for yards around is full of floating fish. What an opportunity for some of our charitable associations to establish . curing plant and save all this food for the poor, Why not divert some of the money used to send ear muffs and foot warmers to tns African heather each year and feed some of the de. serving poor at home?
 In one boat horse Aackerel of great size was seen. One of the guides estimated its weight at over 100 pounds. The captain of the largest boat informed the man on the dock that they had put up the gates on over a thousand barrels in the lower trap, which was explained to mean that there was that quantity of fish in a net waiting to be brought in and ship ped at the convenience of the fisher men. Sometimes a large shark will get entangied in the nets and do great damage A goose fish was taken from one of the smaller boats and the skipper explained: We down casters see only too much of them. for they are the worst bait thieves in the ocean. The New England shore is their favorite stamping ground. and they seem to live in every depth of water. sometimes biting on q fathom and a half shosl and again being brought up from bottoms 300 fathoms down. They are slow swimmers. small tailed and weak finned and generally hug the bottom pretty close. There seems to be nothing alive in the sea that the eoosefish cannot devour. Size is no bar to his swallowing the big gest fish with that wide. double exten- sion, elastic. automatic mouth of his.

Secretary Wilson on stand.

The principal witness in the case Of
Edwin S. Holmes, on trial with Fred.
erick Peckham and Moses Haas of New
York on the charge of conspiracy in con-
nection with the advance cotton reports,
was Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who
identified a letter he had addressed to the
President after the alleged leak in the
cotton reports, declaring the charge false.
lie admitted that Holmes had written q
part of this letter, but said he had made
an addition to it. The attorney for the
defense called Wilson's attention to the
fact that at the time Of the exposure
charges were circulated in the press
against the Secretary as being personally
responsible for the leak.

Bow Wow.

Edgar Saltus, the brilliant novelist,
was asked by a young lady at tea If
he thought that the use Of quotations
was good thing.
Quotations are only good" said Mr..
iSaltus, when they are extremely apt.
There was once a witty Irishman,
9Jumes e. Fitzgerald, who made excel
lent use of quotation In a political
speech. During this speech he was re-
tpeatedly interrupted by butcher, the
proprietor Of large sausage-making
plant. An adherent of Fitzgerald's
finally took offense at the butchers
knocking remarks, and yelled
Hey, you, leave politics alone, and
go back to your sausage machinesr
1.-THE butcher glared at the man and
Fetorted:
II had this speaker in one Of my
sausage machines, Ia soon make mince-
meat OF him.
Then Mr.. Fitzgerald quoted from
che platform with smile:
is thy servant a dog that thou
shouldst do this thing?"

NEW YORK.

Long awaited seasonable weather has
further improved retail trade and crops,
slightly enlarged recorder business with
jobbers and made for more confidence in
the placing of orders for future delivery.
In some sections also collections have re-
sponded in a measure to more favorable
influences, but payments are still back
ward. Taking the wholesale trades gen.
orally there is a rather more quiet tone
perceptible, part of il due to the smaller
than expected recorder business and also
to the advance of the season of midsum-
mer quiet. There Is a disposition this
year, more perhaps than in recent years,
to await clearer indications of the out
turn Of the growing crops, and there is
less assurance as to booking ahead in
many lines than was quoted at this time
in 1906, but the trade situation proper
unquestionably shows a more optimistic
feeling than was possible a few weeks
ago.
