ULTIMATE FATE OF FISH.
They Never Die = Natural Death, Says
an Obssrvaot Fisherman.


Fish never die natural DEATH
said an old fisherman who has OBJ
served as h1 fshed III they did.
bodies OF dead fish would be floating
on the surface of the water about all
the while, because such bodies II IN
molested would have to float.
Il mean, of course, fish in nature
never die a natural death. not fish IN
captivity And perhaps 1t should not
be called natural death that fish In
captivity die. Their environment In
duces mortality that fish In their ma
tive habitat would escape, and these
causes might be properly classed DIS
among the accidents that carry the
captive fish on.
If fish in their native element were
never molested | believe they would
never die. If they had sufficient food,
which would Ike impossible If they no
longer preyed on one another. there
would be no reason for their dying.
1t was to prevent such uninterrupted
tenure OF life that all fish were made
fiercely predatory If not remorselessiy
cannibalistic, as many kinds are.

SHORT INTERVIEW.
A Woman Reporters Visit to Robert
Louis Stevenson.

eoe'e
A number OF years ago Il somewhat
sensational journalist was making
flying trip around the world for her
newspaper. She stopped in San Fran
cisco. Among other assignments for
her brief stay there was a visit to
Robert Louis Stevenson, who was then
living In that city.
Calling AT his home, she was told
that be was too Ill to see any one that
day She wrote him an appealing little
note on the back Of her card, explain
ing that her schedule would not permit
her to remain over to see him later
and that as an Interview with him
was one of the chief objects of break
ing her journey in California she beg
ged for at least two minutes CONVERSE
ton.
Permission was granted for her to
ascend to his room, and when she saw
him propped up In bed with pillows,
| looking pitifully white and frail she
! was much shocked and regretted hel
! uersisteuce For once her usual as
! surance deserted her, and she stoo'
silent and shy before the writer.
Stevenson too, seemed at loss, an
after moment or two Of embarrassed
silence. during which his hands wer
fumbIing beneath the counterpart, m
drew forth an unfinished wooden stock
ing. and. beginning feverishly to pusi
/ rho steel needles in and out, he asked
| "Do you knit
! NO" answered the reporter, and
I gIanclng at the mantel clock, she real
lied with chagrin that the interview
was ended Youths Companion.

SQUIRREL WAYS.
The Little Animals Are Great Actors
on Rail Fence.


on Rail Fence.
1t Is the furry gray squirrel that |
love to watch as ne makes his way
along the fence, says writer In For
est and Stream. He is fond Of sitting
on the top rail and surveying his little
world, but If anything disturbs him 1t
is worth long tramp to watch him
as he zigzags back and forth, follow
ing the riders toward his home tree.
II not suspicious, however the gray
skips along from rail to rail. turning
back now and then to jump down and
examine something on lower rails or
on the ground. Often it is a nut that
be thinks he buried in certain clump
Of grass in a fence corner Frequently
he is mistaken in the exact place, but
he finds it farther on and comes back
to the rider to eat 1t. Watch him close
ly when he finally sees you blocking
his way.
He looks at you with his head turned
side ways, and you wonder that he
shows no surprise and cannot make out
! whether he knew you were there all
the time or Is only blutting Now he
| turns back and traverses a few rails
| gets down ON the next one and make
a pretense OF searching for somethin,
| there comes back to the rider agail
J and feigns perfect composure, slip
| down to the ground while. as he seem
to think, you have been thrown of
| your guard and then makes his way
| now slowly. now like a streak, to the
| shelter Of the woods, just as though
you did not sabe squirrel ways.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRL EXPELLED.
Violated Rule in Joining Forbidden
 Society at Meriden.

Meriden. Dec 5.-The authorities at the High school have recently had occasion to enforce the ruling made by the board of education last April in regard to secret societies. The rule as passed by the board was to the effect that no member of the school should be allowed to join any secret society and enjoy the privileges or the school Acting upon this vote last Wednesday, Principal Prouty mo- tified I. E. Beach by letter that his daughter, Dorothy, was dismissed from the school has having violated one of the rules of the school board.
 Miss Beach was pledged to join Alpha Alpha last winter, before the rule of the school board was enacted, and hence may possibly be considered as exempt from the ruling. This is probably the defense that the society will propose. if possible. though how it will be regarded by the authorities is a question. She was initiated into the society two months ago. but no action was taken until last week Principal Prouty has been out of town since his letter to Mir Beach and could not be seen the other evening.
 There has been no further cOmmu- nication between the authorities of the school and the parents of the young lady. and it is not known whether there will be any effort to- wards her reinstatement.

BOARD OF SAFETY
Mayor Thoms Brought Up Mat.
 fer of Building Collapse.

It was left to the head of the demo- cratic party in Waterbury to ascer- tain who was responsible for the col lapse of building at republican rally at Saturday night before the election, on Farm street. There is some law which empowers the prose- cutting authorities of the courts to in vestigate such matters as this and though this was reported officially to Prosecuting Attorney Meigs, he took no action in the matter. The board of aldermen did nothing but discuss it. The board of works did nothing. The inspector of buildings did nothing, and so it was left to Mayor Thoms to bring the matter before the board of safety yesterday afternoon and he secured the appointment of Ccmmis- sioners Spain, Marggraff and Minor to investigate. This committee will have to report at the next meeting of the board, as it will be the last 1t will hold, unless special meeting is held.
 This was the most important mat ter transacted by the board, and Mayor Thoms will have placed an- other feather in his helmet when a report placing the responsibility for the awful accident will be brought in One death has occurred in con- sequence of injuries received at that rally and notwithstanding that there is opportunity and law enough in the books to entitle the criminal authorities to do something to place the responsibility for it, no one seem- ed to have raised hand.
 Chief Engineer s. c. Snagg sent a communication tO the board covering the accident to one of the fire horses l on North Main street several days ago. The chief exonerates Driver Johnson from all blame and says he considers him a careful and compe- tent man. It was one of those un- ! avoidable accidents that are bound 70 | come.
 James J. Moore and Richard Me- | Carthy, who passed the examination I for appointment to the supernumer- ary police force at the last meeting i were added to the ranks of that or | ganization.
 The resignation of fireman William | F. Daley was accepted to take place on December 15.
 Superintendent George M Beach re- ported that during the month of No vember. 246 arrests were made, which he classified as follows:
 Intoxication, 125; non-support, 9; breach of the peace, 45; manslaughter, ?; carrying concealed weapons, 4; common drunkards, 4; indecent expos ure, 8; keeping unregistered dogs, p; lascivious carriage, ?; suspicion. ?; suspicion of having committed mur- der, 4: resistance, 4; residing in q house of i'll fame, 2: theft. 6: taking a team without leave, ?: trespass, 14; vagrancy, [; violation of license law. 10: violation of city ordinance, 1: vio- | lation of Sunday law, ?; violation of probation law. ?; and one each for bur glary, cruelty to animals, murder in | the second degree horse theft. keeping

THE POLICE COURT.
One Prisoner Came from "Place
 Called New York"

Loftus Brickart felt so lonely yes terday in this big town that he asked Officer Dodds to take him in. The man was perishing about the Bank street depot and as he did not seem to be all there, the officer did take him, and to-day Judge Burpee in the city court took him further in by committing him to jail for thirty days. Brickart was thankful.
 Patrick Hayes of the west side was found on North square intoxicated. He accompanied Brickart for thirty days.
 Charles Smith, a driver for tue Salvation Army, was sleeping it off in the rear of tine buildings at the corner of South Main and Union streets this morning when the ther- mometer was way down. He was fined $5 and costs.
 George Howard, when asked where he hailed from, said he came rom a place called Now York" He has been day and half in town and his home is in place called Man- chester, England. He spoke with a rare old English accent. He pleaded hard for mercy and he looked as though he had passed the night cry ing. He was let go.
 The case against Joseph Mutasa- witch for assault was again contin- ued. He broke mans nose with a blow of a pool cue in saloon ill Brooklyn a month or two ago ard when an officer attempted to arres: him a fellow countryman interfered and Mutasavitch got away. The In. terferer was committed to jail for three months and fined $25 and costs. 4 few days ago Mutasavitc!l came to town and was promptly ar. rested.

DINED THE BOYS
Happy New Yorker Gave Spread
 But Didn't Pay.

Thomas Murphy came from New York yesterday feeling great deal better than the financial situation. He had few American eagles in his pocket. His heart felt as big as the country bis folks came from and he longed to make someone else happy. As the day wore on he became hap pier until toward evening he had either to burst or buy something for someone. So his merry optics fell upon bright newsbOy nawed Louis Morganstein. He asked this lad where he could get some oysters on the half shell and the boy showed him place. But he had nowhere to eat them and the boy took him from saloon to saloon being put out of every one, until they found the Lenox restaurant on Ex- change place. Here Murphy buckled into his shell fish and invited Mor- ganstein to help him out. And the boy sat down. But one boy was not enough to make Murphy feel happier, so he invited another boy and this boy invited others and in the end there was half dozen. Murphy and his friends then set to and ate and ate until the proprietor began to feel un- easy about payment. But Murphy said he was good for everything and he told the boys to eat even the very chairs they were sitting on if they felt that way. Fortunately for Mur- phy they did not accept the invitation to that extent.
 At length the boys had their fill and the waiter presented his bill. Murphy told him to soak his head and the boys skedadled, feeling great deal better than Murphy. The waiter, not wishing any bother, invited police man in to ask Murphy to settle. Mur- phy would not settle. He asked the waiter to take a picture of him set 1 ting. The result was he found him. self in the city court to-day charged with intoxication and defrauding a restaurant. Murphy said he had nc intention of defrauding anybody and never cheated soul. He just invited one boy to dine with him he said, and 1 the other fellows invited themselves | He seemed to be honest, decent 1 fellow and while he was let go on the charge of defrauding the restaurant he was find $5 and costs for intoXica' ton.

HURLEY'SCASE NOLLED
Foolish Escapade Overlooked on
 Account of Mans Family.

It may have been the reputed beauty, it certainly was not the act ing of the famous blonde, Lillian Russell in .Wildfire" that caused Timothy Hurley, father of family to climb on the roof of her dressing room in Polls theater last evening to catch a glimpse of her.
 How in the world the man got to that position is still causing wonde: among the stage hands of the thea. ter. It was feat worthy of a steeple jack He first climbed to a narrow ledge on the wall of the building and then crept along until he reached a coping beyond which was the dressing room of the star. He must have had considerable diff fculty in overcoming this coping, for 1t was a remarkable climb. But he got over it and then he crept along the roof until he reached a skylight or ventilator. How he knew this window was in the great singers dressing room no one knows. But to his dismay he found it was a case of so near and yet so far, for ne mlSnC as well nave USeu IIylh6 Io SSs a squint at the actress from Pine hill as from where he was. The glass ill the window was opaque and his sight could not penetrate it's thickness. But he had knife with him and silently he removed the glass, and there was the actress in the mystery of her stage makeup below. He saw her shiver, but he did not know i! was the draft from his lofty perch, and he was enjoying the sight when suddenly the actress looked up and gave yell on seeing a mans face peering down at her. The stage hands, hearing the uproar, ascer- tained the cause in moment, and they found Hurley logging it for all he was worth through the alley lead \ ing to Brown street. Officer Lawlor N arrested him and in the city court \ this morning he was charged with X trespass on private property. Miss |I Russell did not appear against him \ and the case was nolled, not because ! of her non-appearance but on account { of his family.
