GREAT DAY FOR THE ANGLERS
NEARLY THREE DOZEN GO
DOWN TO CHAPPAWAMSIC.
Good Reports Made by Those Who
Went Down the River-Not
Such Sport Upstream.

Yesterdays fine weather and the clear
water in the river attracted scores of
anglers to the places where bass are to
he caught and many of the sportsmen
returned home with fish enough to make
an excellent showing. Jesse Middleton.
one of the most enthusiastic anglers in
this vicinity who is considered an au
thority on piscatorial matters, said this
morning he thought yesterday was the
banner day for the bass fishermen.
Sportsinen say that he has spent more
time on the river in the past twenty-five
years than any other angler. and he de-
clares he saw more bass yesterday than
he had ever seen before in a month.
Mr. Middleton spent the day at Chappa-
wamsic, where nearly three dozen other
anglers tried their luck. and last even
ing when the fishermen met at the rail-
road station they had nearly $50 bass to
show for their sport. Many smaller fish
had been thrown back into the water.
Besides the bass. a number of pike were

anglers were passengers on the early

day morning. They went to OccOQuan.

places. returning on the evening train.
Henry Talbot. veteran angler was
one of those who tried his luck at Chap
pawamsic. He never takes more than
ten bass from the water any day. and he
had his usual number with him upon his
return home. although he caught many
more. MIR. Middleton landed fortythree
bass. but many of them were small

bringing only a dozen home with him.
Maurice Shappirio. who enjoys the repu-
tation of being an expert with the rod.
landed ten fish, while Charles A. Evard
and Charles Baggett of Alexandria re-
turned with seventeen bass.
The best catches were made by those
who used spoon or fly, although some of
those who used only live bait met with
some success. Many anglers also tried
their luck along the upper Potomac, and
although some of them enjoyed good
sport they did not meet with the success
enjoyed by those who went down the
river. Night fishing has provided good
sport for those who have tried their luck
in the vicinity of the Anacostia bridge
in the past three weeks The water is
still in excellent condition, but very low.
and anglers are enjoying every minute
of their time for fear a rainy period will
end their sport for the season.

MACK EXPECTS A LANDSLIDE
GETS ENCOURAGING REPORTS
FROM PRECINCT CAPTAINS.
Hears Of Republican Losses in Over
Dozen Different States Re-
garded as Close.

NEW YORK, October 19.-Massing all
the forces of the militant democracy in
the final struggle of the campaign to
capture the Empire state. Norman E.
Mack. chairman Of the democratic ma
tional committee. bearing prophecies of
victory, came from the west today to
take personal charge of what he de-
clares will be the hardest fought finish
of any presidential campaign in this
state. Not only Mr.. Bryan, but other
democratic speakers of note, including
several United States senator's. will
swing through the state in an effort to
capture New York's ELECTORAL vote for
the democratic ticket. Mr.. Mack held
several conferences today with eastern
leaders. looking to the devisement Of
plans for the final onslaught. The
national chairman asserts that Bryan
support of this declaration made public
today on his arrival here some results
which he had obtained from precinct
polls made in many of the so-called
doubtful states. Mr. Mack said:
IT am firmly convinced that William
J. Bryan will be elected by landslide.
Within the last two weeks 1 have
caused a careful poll to be made by
captains in hundreds of precincts in
New York. Indiana and Ohio for the
purpose of obtaining the percentage of
republican loss over four years ago.
The results Of that poll were amazing.
In no instances have the reports shown
the percentage Of republican loss in
this state to be less than % per
cent. and in Erie county the losses
to the republicans ran as hight as 40
per cent. Equally large losses to the
republicans were shown. not only i'm
Ohio and Indiana, but in the twelve
other states which the two parties are
contesting. The figures mean only one
thing-Bryans election by tremendous
pluralities. That these figures are cor
rect and based on a careful poll is
shown from the fact that directed the
precinct captains to submit with their
reports the names of the republicans.
with their addresses. who intended to
vote for Mr.. Bryan.

PROPHECIES OF BIG BEN.

Big Ben has been stopped three
times by snow freezing on the hands
and jamming them. A curious cpl
sode in its history took place in De-
cember, 1861, just before the prince
consort died, when, owing to the
failure of an experimental piece of
apparatus, the clock struck hun
dred or more strokes without stop
ping. People who were unaware of
the cause saw in the occurrence an
omen of the great loss which shortly
afterward befell the nation. Another
sensational prank was played by the
clock on April 9, 1886, when it
stopped while Mr.. Gladstone was
making his famous speech in favor
of home rule for Ireland, This was
taker by some as an augury that the
bill would not pass, and as regards
the event the prophets were justified.

FRENCH HOME LIFE SIMPLE
Extra Work Caused by Visitors, Com
mon In England and Ameri-
Ca, Is Unknown There.


In England the proportion of men
to women indoor servants is as one
to three or four; in France the re-
verse is the case, parlor maids being
unknown, the one femme de cham
bre being lady's maid as well as
housemaid. The housework-sweep-
ing, busting, mainly falls upon
the men servants.
One element entailing much extra
work for servants in England is abb
sent in French house. This is the
staying guest, the succession of yisi-
tors. Outside private hotels and in
the handsome flats of fashionable
quarters there is, indeed, no room in
Partisan households for friends. The
words 'Sdine and sleep" or 'week-
end" visits have not found their way
into French dictionaries, nor have
dine and sleep weekend guests yet
become French institutions.
1t is easy thus to understand why
three or four servants suffice in
France while in England a dozen
would be needed for people of SINH
lar means and position, and where
three or four maids are kept in Eng
land only general servant is kept
in France.-Home Life in France.

The close of its case against Thornton

Of William e. Annis, who was shot
down by Captain Peter c. Hams, the
prosecution brought out a letter writ
ten by the defendant which opens the
way for ThorntoE Hams lawyers to

coded and brought about the killing

ten last June by the defendant to
Julian Ripley, president of a publica-
ton Of which William E. Annis was
manager, and in 1t the writer charac-
terized Annis as a rascal" and
'scoundrel," and said that he had him
on criminal charge for betraying his
brothers wife.
Policeman Eugene Fallon gave a
bit of sensational testimony when he
said that Thornton Hams during the

after characterizing Annis, declared,
