sitting on a rock that rose several 11lcheS ABOVE

that the dog was looking intently INTO the water.
The water was six or eight 1eet deep, Eely

Catch Their Own Meals

THE writer has occasionally run ACROSS
Alaskan dogs which INDUCED in the Pastlme
of fishing on their own account. During the
summer months salmon run up the streams in
countless numbers, and it IS then that the
fishing dogs have their sport and feast to their
hearts content. Stationing himself on the
river bank, the dog watches until a salmon
swins along into favorable position, when
ike a flash he plunges in soon reappearlng
with struggling fish in his jaws. Reaching
the shallow water, the dog gives his prey
vigorous shake which kills it, and then lying
down on the bank proceeds to devour his prize

Smelling Out Eels

A LONG the coast of Normandy, in France
~ dogs are sometimes employed III fishing by
a few Of the elder tlsheTwOmen. One of the
latter, armed with a basket on her left shoulder
and on the other p!ckax with a very long
handle, closely followed by her dog, wanders
along the shore until she comes to place where
the sand runs for considerable distance into
the body OF the rocks. Here the surface IS
usually broken by a number of little mounds
at low water. On seeing these the dog becomes
excited and runs back and forth, smelling Of
the little hiIlOcks. In a moment he will begin
to scratch and whine like a terrier watch at
a rathOle
On hearing this the woman rushes toward
the animal, brandishing her pickaX. On reach
ING the spot she looks which way the hole
runs, and then begins tearing up the sand with
her implement. After half a dozen vigorous
strokes out tumbles cOnger eel which IS
quickly picked up and flung with great force
on the hard sand, stunning the creature, after
which 1t IS put into the basket and the fishing
resumed
A curious mode OF fishing was formerly prac-
tised on the southern coast of Wales, in which
dogs were used to drive fish into the hands
of the fishermen. The fishermen would begin
their operations at the ebbng of the tide by
stretching a seine across the river several hun
dred PAGES from the mouth, and while drawing
II downward toward the sea they necessarily
disturbed the water by beating the surface
and hurting stones. The affrighted fish would
make at once for the sea, which, however, they
could not reach except by passing over the IN
tervening shadows Of the river bar. Here they
were pursued by dogs trained for the purpose,
and dubbed OF speared by the men. . or
two hundred fine salmon, weighing from ten TO
twenty pounds, would frequently be taken at
one time IN this extraordinary manner.

was the fisherman. Large cod used constantly
to come to the shore of the loch, attracted by
the offal there thrown into the water.
Early in the evening the terrier would take
his stand on one of the rocks used as stepping
stones for the purpose of ernbarkatiOn, on the
lookout for the cod. Although he generally
saw them when they were some little distance
from the shore, yet, if they seemed to be coming
pretty straight toward him, he rarely made
any demonstration until they were well within
reach and he had fair chance at them. Then
in he went with a rush. There would be a
tussle, a diving, gripping, and blowing, and
then gradually he would emerge, struggling
with and dragging after him the unwieldy and
reluctant fish. Sometimes the fish were rescued
and thrown back into the water, to the ap-
parent great disgust of the terrier.

NEW BRITAIN SMALLPOX.
Husband of Mrs Cheney Now Down
 With Disease

New Britain, Jan 9.--More small pox has developed in the city and there is possibility that other cases may develop through exposure from the latest victim. George Y. Cheney Is the latest victim. He is the husband of Mrs Cheney. who is just recover ing from the disease According to report there is another case. Health Officer Dr W. W. Bracket is investi- gating.
 Mrs Cheney. wife of the last vic tim, diagnosed her husbands trouble. He called at the temporary shanty which was erected at the Cheney home on South Stanley street. Tues day, to converse with his wife. He complained of feeling miserable and said that his arms were broken out. Mrs Cheney advised him to sec the health officer and he did. The doc tor did not waste any time in putting him under restraint.
 Mr Cheney was admitted within the lines of the qaurantinel house. He has been about town the past two weeks. since his wife was taken sick. Many cases have been ex- posed to the disease. it is thought. The opinion prevails that Mrs Cheney contracted the disease while a pas senger on the train coming from the west to spend Christmas with her mother at her home at % south stan Icy street. Mir Cheney was with her and was exposed tO the same dan ger. Having been with his wife while the disease was developing he was doubly exposed

ABOUT THE A. o. H.
Philadelphia Pastor Has Not Forgot
 ten the Old Time Charge,

| rdtncT MCDtTmOIC OI PHllduel phia, may not be a man of one idea
 but he has treasured up one idea fol
 many long years" says the Catholic
 Transcript. He distrusts the vir.
 tue of the Ancient Order of Hiber.
 nians, He has been lacking in ad.
 miration for that society for some
 time. He claims to have in his pos.
 session facts that do not rebound to
 their honor as devoted adherents of
 the Catholic church and devout dis
 ciples of Him who says: Thou shalt
 not kill.
 His impeachment of the society
 runs back to the days of the Molly
 Maguires. He claims to be an author
 lty on the subject and we believe that
 his claims are well founded. He has certainly given more attention to that question than any other man now living.
 Tt is altogether possible that cer- tain Hibernians were more or less compromised in the Molly Mcguire movement, but, if so, their number was necessarily small. The Ameri- can Molly Maguires were confined to the coal regions of Pennsylvania. The Irish Molly Maguires of sixty years ago had nothing to do with the Penn sylvania outlaws. The movement in the coal fields was short-lived, and the vast majority of contemporary Ancient Order men were remote from it's theater of operation. The Molly Maguires have been non-ex- istent for thirty years. It seems rather late now to publish an im- passioned condemnation of the An cient Order for an alleged local af- filiation with the defunct clan.
 Father McDermott Is man of ability. He glories in being known as a man of conviction and independ- ence. He is not averse to proclaim ing his ideas, especially if they show him to be mildly at variance with the ideas and policy of his ecclesiastical If his arraignment of the Ancient Order of Hibernians were necessary to the we'll being of the or to the we'll being of the members of that society throughout the country, we may be quite sure that Archbishop Ryan and Cardinal Gibbons would have suffered him to read it before the assembled hierar- chy at the Third Plenary Council of He was not permitted to make his charge before that august body and he seems to have suffered from mental indigestion ever since.
 "The writer had the honor of sit ting vis-a-vis with him at dinner in Baltimore some six years ago. The burden of his conversation was to the same effect as his recent outgiving. He spoke in strong condemnation of he Ancient Order and, if we mistake lot, he did not neglect to pay passing .ribute to another well known Catho- ic organization. His criticism will lot disrupt the Ancient Order of Hi- ,ernians. If there are any grounds or his charges, 1t is sure beyond pre- tdventure that the law-abiding and members of the society throughout the country repudiate md condemn the wrong doers as cor lially as does Father McDermott. The impeachment which he advances s too ancient to cause serious bought"

CASES CONTINUED
Friday Oi Next Week Time Set
 For Trial.

There was no business for Judge
 Peasley in the city court to-day but
 to continue the cases against Guisep. pi Dileo and Michael Carnardo for assaulting each other with intent to kill. The cases were put over to Friday of next week. Both men are on bail.
 There are two or three more cases of murder and murderous assaults pending in the city court and 1t seems to be the spirit of the prose- cutting authorities to show the sc- verity and rapidity of the law, be- cause it seems to them to be abso- lutely necessary to teach an element in this city that such things as law and order must exist here. The au- thorities are coming to believe that in view of the failure of the courts to bring home to this element the consequences of several instances of extreme violence that the law is in adequate and it cannot reach the guilty parties.
 During the trial of Rocco Capo- bianco it was common rumor that before he had killed Angelo Solomi- ta he had been told that the worst that could happen him would be few years in the state prison. And as if to bear out the veracity of that report. Capobianco, though con- demned to death, is still living, and his colleague in the crime, one Per riello, is now at large after serving a few years in the state prison. Capobianco said Perriello urged him on to the commission of shooting Solomita. Therefore from the se- quence of events the element of population in Waterbury that has distinguished itself in this kind of crime is given very good grounds for believing that the most that can be- fall one for killing another person is few years in prison. But the seem determined to give this element different impression in the result of the pending trials.
