FISHING TIME IN THE PASIG
Swimming in Myrlads Near Surface
They Are Shared and Speared
by FiIlplnos.

Friday morning -Fflipinos sharing
cells and other fish in the Pasig near
the captain Of the port building by
the aid of fish snare caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. 1t was fully ten feet in length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored In the
stream were thronged with hundreds
of Filipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that In myri-
ads were swimming near the surface
of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to the
phenomenon were almost unanimous
in their statement to the effect that at
this time of the year the bottom of
the river gets hot and that the fish
have to leave the depths Of the stream
and flash back and forth on or near
the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
a great many adherents was to the eff
feet that at this time every year there
was a change In the character Of the
water. This change acting on the fish
as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome.

Baroness Aletta Korf tells in n
of the magazines how the women OF
Finland came to vote. The fact 10
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
In Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

BANDITS KILL PAYMAsTER
Shot Young Denton Fowler and
Driver Near Hudson, N. Y.
Bag with $4,000 Dropped by the
Robbers in Their Haste to Es-
cape Pursuers.

Hudson, N. Y.-The bandits who
murdered young Denton Fowler, as
sistant treasurer of the Atlas Building
Material company, and his negro
driver, George Ragsdale, fled through
the woods in such haste that they
dropped the treasurer's suitcase on
tanning $1,000 in gold, silver and
bills. Police Chief James j. Lane
and Supt. Jerry Leonard of the Atlas
brickyards stumbled upon the cash
bag while they were beating up the
thickets with a party of armed men.
Lane and Leonard found not only
the none that Denton Fowler had
been hurrying with to the Atlas brick
makers. but within a few steps of
where Mr.. Fowler and the plucky
negro had been shot to death they
came upon the weapons the robbers
had used in the killing; a Winchester
repeating rifle, a shotgun and two re-
tolvers. Searching on their hands
and knees through the wet bush, they
found two caps such as Italian labor
ers commonly wear in this part of the
country. two red bandanna handker-
chiefs which had been pierced with
eyeholes and used for masks, the
scattered fragments Of an envelope
and the letter the envelope had con
tanned and the scrap strewn spot, a
tiny clearing surrounded by almost
impenetrable thickets of thorn bush
where the robbers had made camp
while they waited for young Fowler's
buggy.
Although young Fowler died be.
fore he could make a detailed state
ment, enough was CLEANED from him
to prove that the victims had nc
| chance to defend themselves.
He was driving over a private roat
which is little used, when foul
masked men sprang Out at him. The,
pointed revolyers at him, ordering
him to throw UP his hands.
IT started to throw up my hands,
said Fowler, when suddenly Rags
dale struck the horse. Then they be
gan shooting. Ragsdale fell out O.

An hour later Fowler was dead.
.Workmen waiting for their three
weeks wages in the Atlas plant heart

and Ragsdale dead.

hurled 1t at the bandits head. The
rock found Its mark. AS the injured

that Grape-Nuts- food will put him

A Cincinnati traveller says: About

months / ran down until I lost about
10 pounds in weight and finally had to
give up a good position and go home.
Any food that l might use seemed to
nauseate me.
my wife, hardly knowing what to
do, one day brought home a package
of Grape-Nuts food and coaxed me to
try 1t. l told her it was no use but
finally to humor her I tried a little,
and they just struck my taste. It
was the first food l had eaten in near
ly a year that did not cause any suffer-
ing.

began to improve and stuck to Grape

Men Win All Demands Except That

New York.-After nine weeks OF
fierce struggle, in which thousands
were driven to restitution and one
hundred or more families had come
in imminent peril of being evicted,
the cloakmakers' strike was settled.
The 10000 men and 10000 women
who have been on strike returned to
work.
The union is victorious in a large
degree. Higher wages and better
hours are obtained, sanitary condi.
lions in the workshops are guaranteed
and many petty grievances have been
obviated under the agreement
reached. But the union fails to get
complete recognition. There is a
guarantee that unoin standards will
be maintained and union men and
women preferred when workers are
hired, but non-union workers are to
labor side by side with them without
objection from the union as long as
| such workmen are paid union wages.

street, attacked the prisoner and were
repulsed by the police only after a

lice succeeded in repulsing the leaders

before harm was done to either of
the prisoners.
