Ferto RIoae dsurnal Has High idea Of
Moraan,s Taste.

Baltimore, Md.-Now that Porto
Rico is part of the United States, it
behooves the Porto Ricans to take
heightened interest In that most curl
Gus of North American products-the
multi-millionaire And they are doing
so, judging from an item which APP
peared in a newspaper of San Juan
about j. Pierpont Morgan, which may
or may not be known to readers of
more northeriy ATTITUDES. Here it is:
1.-THE Holsters destined for the -ex-
allied palate Of Mr.. Morgan are caught
expressly for him, and for nobody else;
they do not belong to that vulgar class
Of fish which everybody can acquire at
the market by simply putting down
the price asked. The American multi
millionaire has had built on the shores
of the ocean little hut, painted red.
In this hut lobster fisher lives all
the year round. His job is an easy one,
because Mr.. Morgan's craving for the
delicious crustaceans comes upon him
very seldom-not more than three or
four times year.
1.-THE lobster fisherman above men,
toned draws a salary of $4,000 yearly.
Supposing that the American potentate
eats Holsters four times year, the
cost of his Holsters comes to $500 a
catch.
"Thus the greatest of millionaires
has introduced once again the gas
tronomic customs of the ancient
Romans. The Romans liked lampreys,
just as Mr.. Morgan likes Holsters. In
order to feed the lampreys properly
and be enabled to eat them in season
they kept them in tanks at enormous
expense. Some historians go so far
as to say that the said Romans, in or
der that their fish might have sue
culent taste, we're in the habit of CIV
ing them live slaves to eat.
"But the American multi-millionaire
has not as yet thought of treating his
Holsters to meal composed of red
SKINS"

THEY CAUGHT The GOOSE.
pes Moines Bridge Workers Have an
Exciting Chase.

Des Moines, Ia.-Workmen on the
new Locust street bridge were treated
to thrill which would set the gal
lery wild with excitement if utilized
as the climax to ten-twenty-thirty
medodrama, and in the end captured
a mammoth goose, which would af-
ford substantial basis for a charity
dinner.
About $3.50 O'Clock in the morning a
large gray goose was sighted off the
starboard quarter of the new bridge
by one of the workmen, and the alarm
was given. The bird was steering due
north, all sails set, in the teeth of a
spanking breeze. A rowboat was
quickly manned and the men set out
to intercept the strange craft. When
the boat became visible to the goose
it tackled and started down the river
at full speed, but all its efforts were
IN vain, and it was captured just under
the Walnut street bridge, where a
large crowd had gathered encourag-
ing the fight of the fowl with lusty
shouts.
The question over the distribution
Of the one bird among the half a
hundred workmen has not yet been
settled.

DISCOVERS pALEoLlTHlc STONE.
Find Near Wadsworth, o., Declared
to Be Important to Biologists.


Akron, O.-The discovery of what
is asserted to be a paleolithic stone
near Wadsworth has led Prof. G.
Frederick Wright, geologist and presi-
dent of the State Archaeological so
ciety, to declare that Medina county
was the home of paleolithic man.
Prof WrightNtook the stone with him
to Baltimore and will return to Wads-
worth next spring, he says, with gov
eminent biologists to continue his re-
searches.
Prof. Wright and Prof. Bronson of
Oberlin college declared that the find
ing of the paleolith at Wadsworth is
one of the most important discoveries
made in America in fixing the age of
human life on the American CONT
nent. They said also that the best
specimen of a Kane or Escher ter
race they had ever examined is in the
neighborhood of the Mennonite church
on the Seville road west of Wads-
worth.
1t is Prof. Wright's belief that at
one time the site of Wadsworth was
covered with large glacier which
was q mile high and extended to NIL
lersburg. The paleolithic stone found
near Wadsworth is an eliptical-shaped
flint stone weighing about half or
three-quarters of pound and is a
fine specimen of one of the instru-
ments used by man in the glacial pc

He says that the wonderful results

Mr.. Newell describes wildly the
break in the dixie of the Colorado

CLIFTON MAN.
PLEADS GUILTY
d, FALANGoS IS FINED $500
ON TWO INDICTMENTS
AGAINST HIM.

AT the session of the circuit court
yesterday afternoon d. Falangos OF
Clifton, charged with selling liquor
without a license, pleaded guilty, He
had been arrested on two indictments
and admitted the charge in both,
Judge Mcbride fined him 500 on
each indictment, or 4 total OF $500
for selling intoxieants without first
securing a license TO do so,
The second case against William
Nyberg was to arise today, but the
court granted an extension until next
Tuesday, Mr.. Nyberg wanted to Sc
cure some additional legal aid
Attorney Curtis, who appeared for
Falangos yesterday, and entered his
plea Of guilt on the FIRST indictment,
made a further plea Of clemeney, and
wanted the prosecuting attorney, Mr.,
Tongue, to consent to the imposition
Of fine in the first case and to let
the second one 80, pending good
behavior on the part Of the defendant.
But the prosecuting attorney would
not consent to this and insisted that
the defendant plead guilty to both
indictments or stand trial. There
upon Falangos pleaded guilty.
The liquor cases promise to lend
much interest to this term of the
circuit court, and the bringing Of
nine indictments in all against Ny
berg, and the insistence of the
prosecuting attorney that Falangos
should plead guilty to both indict-
ments against him or stand trial, tend
to show that law-breaking saloon
men are up against the "real thing"
this time. The fines thus far imposed
BY Judge Mcbride have been OF
size to make some of the men inter
ested blink a little. The subject is
of especial interest because of the
allegation that evidence has been
secured against virtually all Of the
saloonmen in the city who have been
indiscreet enough to keep their doors
open on Sundays. From some source
has come hint that there is stack
Of whisky bottles big enough to FL
bushel basket, all Of which are to
be presumably used as Exhibits" be-
fore the grand jury and juries in
court. In addition it is even said.
according to a story that was told
yesterday, that some Of the grand
jury men took such deep interest
in the matter as to even take walk
up to Nyberg's place on Franklin
avenue, but whether they bought
HMaltonia" or cigars is not definitely
stated.
