About the Worst Torture That Ever
Afflicted Mankind.

AFFLICTED Mankind.
"You of the younger generation"
said the dentist severely, don't appre-
ciate the Importance Of the conquest
of toothache that dentistry has made,
"Toothache is the worst torture that
ever afflicted mankind. Its pains
lancinating' they are technically called
ARE worse than the pains Of cancer.
Worse than cancer; that is the truth.
] have heard 1t from physicians; !
have heard 1t from three old people
whom cancer finally killed. They all
said that the pain OF cancer at its
worst was mild beside the pain of the
worst toothache.
"Toothache drove De Quincy to
opium eating. De Quincy, too, says In
his opium Eater'--like all dentists, !
have the passage by heart:
"No stronger expression OF tooth
ache's intensity and scorching herce-
ness can be imagined than this fact
that within my private knowledge two
persons who had suffered alike under
toothache and cancer have pronounc-
ed the former to be on the scale Of tor
ture by many degrees the worse. In
both there are at times lancinating
pangs-keen. glancing, arrowy radia-
lions of anguish-and upon these the

The fishermen in the nearby waters of
the Potomac and other streams have
been forced to lay aside their tackle for
the past two weeks. owing to the muddy
condition of the waters caused by the
heavy transforms. Very little. If any.
fish have been caught around the Dis
trict. and even at Great Falls the anglers
have been catching only one or two after
full days patient waiting. 1t is thought
by the fishermen that the. waters will
clear soon and that by next week there
will be some good sport.
The fish are reported to he biting quite
freely in the lower Potomac and in the
past week a great many OF the local
sportsmen boarded launches or other
craft and are now casting. their lines In
the deeper waters of the river. The
power launch Two Friends of the Corinth-
ian Yacht Club, under the captaincy of
Charles M. Hawn. left today for Solo

Mr.. George Lewis of the Union News
Company one of the most prominent
anglers in the District. with a party of

partys efforts to lure the willy bass were
successful. George again had a fine

BALKS AT SHEATH GOWN.
Lloyds Finds Something It Will Not
Insure

NEW YORK, August 1.-Another Brit
ish idol went by the board yesterday,
when 1t was announced that Lloyds,
popularity supposed to insure against
anything under the sun from twins and
Central American revolutions to an out
break by Castro. had at last refused an
insurance proposition in the directoire or
sheath gowns.
L'oyds declare the sheath gown to he
beyond its scope, and that properly.
trade in them is not matter for insur-
ance Therefore the effort of Blooming
dale Brothers to obtain $4,000 insurance
against loss on consignment of direc-
toire gowns has failed
1T is true" said Isdor Kahn of No.
2G6 Broadway, who places insurance for
the firm that l sought to get policy
of $4,000 from the agent of the London
Lloyds against loss on consignment of
these so-called sheath. or directoire,
gowns and failed to get it. We have been
after the insurance for some time, and
yesterday the firm asked for decision
one way or the other. We had to say
we could not place the risk.
1T is the first time | ever heard of
Lloyds turning down any proposition
Only the other day they were insllrine in
great sums against Bryan's election But
they draw the line on these gowns on
the ground that ii is not legitimate in
surance All insurance is speculation,
and the careful merchant tries to insure
himself in every way against loss par
ticularly in lines where there is anv CON
siderable element of risk or uncertainty.
THE incident means nothing except
that at last an American firm has found
that Loyds. after all. will not insure
against everything under the SUM-

Is fisherman right
Some fish are being caught in the up
per Potomac and Shenandoah rivers near
Harpers Ferry. w Va, but they are re-
ported to be small.
Sycamore Island, near Broad Water in
the upper Potomac. was "A busy place
last Sunday and every day during
the past week. as a great many campers
went up last Saturday night and pitched
tents among the trees for weeks out
ing.
George Stansbury of Georgetown visited
Great Falls early in the week and Is re-
ported to have landed five or six bass. but
they averaged only about two pounds.
A report from Syracuse. n. Y. says
that Rev. c. F. Aked Of New York yes
terday captured the largest fish taken out
of the ST. Lawrence river at the Thou-
sand Islands in years when he landed
thirty-two pound muscallonge. The strug-
gle lasted two hours and the clergyman
was completely exhausted at the termlna-
ton of the landing.
A resident Of Harrisburg. Pa. was in
this city for several days the early part
of the past week and in discussing the
fishing near his home with several local
anglers said there are more black bass
fishermen in Harrisburg than anywhere
else in the country. One reason for this,
he said. Is that there are a great many
black bass there and the waters which
flarbor them are responsible for about the
most killing bait that was ever pitted
against that hard-ighting member of the
f1nny tribe.
Another fish that Is caught in that vi
entity is the stone roller. which is consid-
cred the best bait for bass fishing. Early
in the spring the fishermen gather the

June. 1t is said that in putting one of
these little fish on a hook the angler must
go about the work skillfully or he will be
surprised by singing pain in his thumb.
which will sometimes shoot up his arm to
his shoulder. AS soon as the fish. which
is something like a catfish is held tightly
by the fisherman it drives its singer into
his hand. causing an exceedingly painful
wound and poison similar to and often
worse than that which accompanies a

been known to follow the sting
The amateur fishermen have been get

wharves at Marshall Hall. River View

is also said to be small sized.

third. because he knew Eugene v. Debs

He threatened to get out an injunction

night and took ballot for his successor
