Strange Fish Captured.

The other day Al Schnepp and S.
Y. Fits observed dark object in
the surf near the Big Elephant at South
Atlantic City, y. j. They found it to
be monster fish OF some unknown
species and it required horse and
tackle to pull it ashore. The fish is
nine feet in length, four feet in cir
conference, and it's mouth is 10
inches across. 1t has three rows of
saw teeth. some of them an inch
long, fins like walrus, and none of
the old fishermen who examined it
could name it.

LONE VOYAGERS SEEN.
Captain Andrews and His Bride Are
Sighted on the Ocean in Their
Small Boat

An incoming steamer reports hav-
ing passed the Dark Secret. the lit
tie canvas-covered folding-boat in
which Capt. William Andrews and his
bride started for n honeymoon "trip
across the Atlantic three days ago.
The little craft was reported to be
making fair Roadway, though pound
ing a good deal owing to lying so
low on the water. The Dark Secret
is IA feet in length and sits danger
ously deep in the water as the re-
suit of the stores which have been
packed in every nook of the boat and
her 300 pounds of lead ballast.
Capt. Andrews means to hold his
course toward the Azore islands. He
expects that with ordinary fair
weather he will make them in eight
weeks. He counts on the Dark Sc
cret making ten miles an hour. He
is alone in the belief that she will
make that time. Half the speed is
what is given her by many author
tiles owing to the light sails carried
and the peculiar build of the Dark
Secret. Three or four months NAV
be necessary to make successful
journey.
Capt. Andrews has achieved much
on voyages in small boats. He sailed
the dory Nautilus, 15-foot boat,
from Boston to the Paris exposition
in 1878. On this trip he was accom-
panied by his brother Walter. The
voyage lasted As days. He was 62
days alone on the ocean in the boat
Dark Secret, Is feet long, in 1883.
He sailed "a days alone in the can
vas-covered folding-boat Phantom
Ship, 131foot craft, in 1898, and
1000 miles alone in the Dover, 12-
foot boat of the same style, in 1899.

CRISIS IN GERMANY.
Now Going Through Saddest Eco
nomic Experience in Its History.
Well-GrOunded Pride of Her Business
Men in Her Reputation for Com
mercial Honor Has Suffered
Through Disgraceful Frauds.

Germany is undoubtedly going
through its saddest economic ex-
perience since the empire was found
ed, says the Berlin correspondent OF
the New York Journal of Commerce.
The well-grounded pride with which
German business men have hitherto
contemplated their excellent reputa-
tion abroad for commercial honor has
suffered a most severe blow. The
Frankfurter Zeitung admits in re-
cent market review that in no Sim
liar period of business depression in
Germany have so many cases of dis
graceful frauds and common swind-
ling" been exposed. However, it is
felt here that the sensational char
acter of many of the disasters of the
past year have given foreign observ-
ers an exaggerated impression of the
state of things prevailing in Ger
many; not only that these disasters
have created false view as to the
average of German business integri-
ty, but that they have magnifed un-
duly the proportions of the German
crisis as seen from abroad. 1t is
pointed out that Germany has total
of about $500 joint stock companies,
and that the number of companies
that have failed or gotten into tinan-
cial difficulties constitute but a slight
proportion of the whole. Still the
bourse views the situation very pes
simistically. Besides the many IN
favorable factors in the situation
itself, additional uncertainty comes
from the tariff agitation. Business
men do not know what will be their
condition under the new tariff law
which goes into effect January, 1904.
The great crisis in the German iron
industry, for example, is chiefly due
to the fact that all consumers of
pig iron committed the vast folly at
the height of the boom of placing
contracts for iron for several years
in advance, and at the high prices
then prevailing. Many of the CAPT
talists that have recently gotten
themselves into financial difficulties
brought on these difficulties by ex-
cessive expansion.
After the present crisis is over an
interesting chapter can be written
upon the intimate relations Of the
German banks with industrial CAPT
talists. The jaunty confidence with
which all foreign criticisms of the
system was dismissed here up to a
year ago has certainly given place
to more reticent attitude among
financiers, and they are now much
more willing to admit the dangers of
the system.

BOOM FOR SQUASH RACKETS.

National and lntercity Championship
Scheduled to Be In Philadelphia.
That greater interest than ever is
being taken in squash rackets was
evidenced at the recent sixth annual
meeting Of the United States Squash
Racket association in Philadelphia.
All the clubs holding membership in
the association were represented. The
treasurer reported that the finances of
the association were in most flourish

ed that overtures had been received
from New York. Pittsburg and Al
toona. Pa, with view to these cities
becoming members Of the organization.
and it Is more than probable that they
will be enrolled as members in due
course.
1t was decided that the intercity
championship between Boston. Phila-

this year at Baltimore on Feb. II and

EARLHAM COLLEGE
IS DIVORCE PROOF
No AIumnus of the Institution
Has Tried Legal Matri-
moniaI Relief.
RECORD. VERY UNIQUE ONE
ALMOST A THOUSAND PEOPLE
HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE
COLLEGE AND THE MAJORITY
OF THEM MARRIED.

1t is the proud assertion of President
Robert l.. Kelly that no alumnus of
Earlham college has ever figured in a
divorce case. In view of the age of
the institution and the fact that the
number of alumni reaches close to the
one thousand mark, the majority of
whom. it is said, are married. the rec
ord is most unique and perhaps with
out parallel among institutions of
similar size anywhere in the country.
lection of data for the alumni register,
which is issued as a part of the college
catalogue every three years.
1t is a curious fact that the divorce
evil has never entered into the lives of
Earlham graduates and tends to
strengthen the theory advocated by
many that the only true solution of the
problem lies in securing an education.
1t has been suggested that perhaps the
unprecedented record lies in the fact
that the large majority of the gradu-
ates are Quakers. and the religious
creed OF the Friends prohibits the Sc
curing of a divorce. 1t is hoped that
future generations will sustain this
record.
Many of the candidates for degrees
at the college who have been working
on their theses for over a year, arc
making their final squirt now. The
subjects have been finally passed on
and confirmed by the faculty. There
are forty-three seniors whose sub
jects have been accepted. The finish
ed productions must be in the hands
of the head of the daptrment under
which they are written on the third
Wednesday preceding commencement
day.

Plan to Create Police Bible
Glasses Not Approved
Of Here.
WAS STARTED IN ENGLAND
CHIEF GoRMoN SAYS THAT THE
MORAL CHARACTER OF LOCAL
FORCE MAKES THE PLAN UN-
NECESSARY HERE.

The international movement started
ham, England. to form the policemen
of the world into bible classes, is not
looked upon with any great degree of
favor by the coppers in Richmond. In
fact, the blue coats do not warm up to
the suggestion bit.
The plan has been adopted in several
of the cities over the country within
the past few weeks. The policemen
are given small pocket testaments and
made to promise that they will read a
portion of the Scripture every day. In
Des Moines. Ia, the idea has been Ia
ken up and is said to be meeting with
great success.
Views Of Gormon.
Chief of Police Gormon. when ask
ed this morning why such plan
would not be good thing for the cops
in this city. stated that it was not
necessary. He declared that the NOR
al character of the local police was
perhaps of as high a standard as any
other police force in the United States
and there would be no object in form
ing them into Bible classes, as all of
the men read the Bible in their
homes. compelling person to do
thing seldom accomplishes the de-
sired result" said the chief. The
plan may work all right in England
he continued, "but l do not believe it
will be a bowling success in this coun-
try However, in cities like Chicago
and other large places where the po'
lice never read the bible unless made
to do SO, it undoubtedly is a good
thing for the community, in that it
tends to raise the caliber of the men
