DANUBE FISH TO
BE RAISED HERE
Delaware River Likely to Get Fry Of
Sturgeon and SterIet.

1t is probable that in the near future
Danube Sturgeon will be introduced
in the rivers OF this country, especial
ly in the East.
This announcement by United States
Fish Commissioner Bowers TINT Amer
lean waters may again TEEN with
sturgeon has been made possible by
the cooperation of Horace Knowles,
until recently the American minister
to Roumania, Servia and Bulgaria,
now accredited to Nicaragua.
The pleasant relations Minister
Knowles enjoyed with the Roumania
government enabled him before leav-
ing Roumania to arrange with the Off
Gals OF that country to send to the U :.
s., large quantity OF Danube stnr-
geon fry; also several large cans OF the
fry OF sterlet, another very valuable
Danube fish, which is considered the
most delicious of all European fish.
The two Danube fish are particular
ly valuable because they are not a sea
son fish like the shad. but run in the
waters or their habitat throughout
the year. The Danube sturgeon grows
to enormous size and weight, and 500
to S00-pound fish are frequently
caught. An 80O-pound fish will give
about $50 pounds of caviar, and fresh
caviar sells from 81 to $40 pound.
The young fish will be sent to the
nearest hatchery and there cared foi
until they have recovered from theil
1000 mile voyage, and are in condi
ton to be turned into the Hudson
Delaware, susquehanna and Potomac
Rivers.

Howard G. Pidcock, city garbage
collector, has forwarded to the city
officials his notice that he will dIscon-
tinue the collection Of garbage after
the regular meeting of Council in
June. His contract does not expire
until October, but he claims the de-
mauds of Council as to the manner OF
removing and dumping cannot be
met at the contract price, and that
there have been too many complaints
abont the work.
The authorities of West Amwell
Township notified the city that the
dump must be kept in better condition.
This was after the State Health Board
forced the city to stop dumping along
Brunswick Road, claiming that water
leading to the river was thus contami-
mated The farmers near the dump
along the York Road, say the loose
material Is allowed to blow about al
though the contract demands that the
paper, etc, be collected and burned.
Council has had this done the past
month and expects to deduct the cost
from the contract price of the regular
collector.

MUSICIANS SIGHT RESTORED
The Story Of William Dittrich Reads Like
Romance.

After ten years Of blindness, William
Dittrich, sole survivor save one of the
orche stra which played before Jenny
Lind when she visited Philadelphia in
the early llflies, has been restored 10
sight by the last of several operations
which have been performed On his eyes
at the Medico- Chirurgical Hospital
When he returned a day or Two ago to
his home in 'fowanda, Bradford county
he was able To travel alone for the first
time in a decade. The day upon which
his eyesight returned was the anniver-
sary OF the day he landed in America.
Dttrich is sc years old. For ten
years he has lived in darkness. He
did not lose his memory, but in many
ways il is as clear as when he was a
boy and he remembers many wonderful
things which occurred about the middle
Of the ninteenth century, among mus-
clans and singers. AT the hospital, as
he awaited his recovery, he entertained
the patients and nurses with his re-
collections. Over all of them he was
enthusiastic. When he came to Jenny
Lind, however, emotion would over
come HIM 'She was the greatest,
was all he could say.
Dttrch has been a musician since
he was eight years old. Educated by :
master who fancied him, he played be
fore King Louis Philippe, on The
home coming of Prince de Joinville
Admiral Of the navy. At this time he
was terribly scalded by premature ex
plosion on small yacht.
Later he toured the world, going to
the West Indies and then to Brazil
where he attracted the attention o
Emp Dom Pedro. Later, at the Cen
tennial Exposition in Philadelphia the
Emperor and the musician renewed
their aequalntanceshlp.
Ten years ago the sight Of the aged
musician failed him. Since then, until
two weeks ago, he had gone about il
darkness, almost homeless Then he
was taken to the hospital and the
operations performed,
