Operated by Telephone.

Practically the entire Lackawan-
ma railroad system is now being
operated by telephone instead of
telegraph. The company installed
the telephone system in the locality
of Scranton about year and half
ago and found it SO much better
than the telegraph that it extended
it all along the system. Only a
short stretch of territory on New
Jersey branch remains to be COM
pleted. The company is the only
road in the East to operate conf
pletely by telephone. Other roads
have followed suit, but only have
part of their systems installed. The
experience of the Lackawanna has
been that the telephone is not only
a time saver, but safe and practical,
At the same time the work OF the
dispatchers has been made easier,
and what's more, it has not dis
placed telegraph operators. They
simply use their ears and mouths
where they formerly used fingers.

Bass Fishing.
The Gamey Fish Are Biting Slowly This
Season.

Notwithstanding that fishing con-
ditions are presumably good yet it
is fact that bass are biting slowly,
only a few fish large enough to
merit any special notice have as
yet been hooked, while in the mat
ter Of phenomenal catches there
simply have been none to report.
Local fishermen are trying hard to
evolve theory as 20 the cause. No
one seems to doubt that the fish
exist; the streams are just about
the right stage for good fishing and
other conditions seem about right.
The one drawback in the opinion
of some is the very clearness of the
water, due to the drought; the
transparency resembles that of plate
glass, enabling the fish to see
great distance through the water,
50 that it is easily disturbed and
frightened away by the least move
ment of the fisherman. Under ex-
isting conditions bass are doubly
sly and gamey and the man who
goes fishing must be prepared to
bring all the arts and wiles of the
angler into play. There is a state
of general inactivity due to the alb
sence of rain which is not conduc-
i've to good fishing. A shower
which would cause the small
streams to rise and discharge their
water irto the river would stir up
things a little. The small fish, etc. 4,
that serves as food for the larger
would thus be set in motion. The
bass would get alter them and thus
would come in contact with the
hook and line, after which they
would abandon their natural and
legitimate prey for the choice and
savory bait. 1t is generally believ-
ed that there will yet be the very
best of fishing before the season
closes. There is an abundance of
time. 1t is quite likely that there
will be rain hy and by, which, with
other causes, will conspire to bring
about the proper conditions for
fishing.

Small Fruit Crop.

Not more than a fourth of a crop
of peaches and one third of crop
of apples will be gathered this year
in Pennsylvania, according to in
formation received at the State
Department of Agriculture. State
Zoologist Surface estimates that
the loss to the apple growers this
year will amount to 200, 900.
"This will be due mostly to the
coddling moth" says Professor
Surface. "The inspectors OF the
department say that nearly ninety
five per cent. of the apples of the
state have been stung or are wormy.
The drought is responsible for some
of the shortage to the apple crop
but the moths have damaged most
of the apples that did develop. I
have Just received word from an
inspector in Union township, Tioga
county. He has visited two hun
dre6 orchards containing 10000
apple trees and he estimates that
the owners of those trees will lose
$Ioo, 900. Conditions over the state
are about the same The peaches
of the state will also be small in
number. The pear crop will be
almost an entire failure this year,
as most of the trees contain very
few pears.

The Smallest Steamboat.

The smallest of steamboats, is the
Nina, which is perfect in every part,
though capable of carrying but one
passenger This passenger must act
as captain, stoker, crew and engineer,
for the little craft is only twelve feet
long and three feet wide. A speed
of five and half miles an hour can
be obtained by using a pressure of
one hundred pounds. The boat is
easily carried in sections, and is
steered with the feet by means Of a
wire. The boiler weighs 80 pounds,
the engine 25, the machinery 20 and
the hull 80, in all 215 pounds. 1t was
built at a cost of $1,250.

was the Hon Hoke Smith, ex-governor
OF Georgia.
Mr.. Smith, known throughout the
United States as a friend to labor organ
izations, was received with thunders Of
applause.
In a brief speech he showed the unen-
viablo position of labor without organi-
cation, pointing out that the growth Of
the corporations now makes the organi-
sization OF laborers a necessity, where 1t
was not 20 years ago. =.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Smith raped Andrew Carnegie, saying:
The fact that Mr.. Carnegie is contin.
ually giving library buildings and doing
other philanthropic things for the gen.
eral public shows that his conscience is
now troubling him on account of the
manner in which he made his millions
when he was the head Of the steel trust
It is all right to let capital try to expiate
its sins by charity but don't forget the
crime" $500.
Towards the close of his address Mr.
Smith welcomed the carmen to Georgia
and expressed the hope that they would
decide to build their home in the state.
One Of the most brilliant speakers of
the occasion was Frank Comberford Of
Chicago, a former member of the I'LL
nois legislature Mr.. Comberford was
enthusiastically received by the audience
and spoke entertainingly on Labor, Its
Mission and Its Missionaries"
