FRESH FISH SCARCE.
Catch Is Light Owing to Heavy
Easterly Storm.

In consequence of the heavy easterly
storm which has been prevailing on the
Atlantic coast and in Chesapeake bay
for several days the fishermen have been
unable to work their nets, and, in con-
sequence, the supply of fresh fish re-
ceived by the dealers here for the local
market has been far below the average
The shortage in the supply, coming just
when the demand for fresh fish was
heaviest, has caused a heavy advance
in prices for all grades of stock This
advance will. however, be only tempo
rary. The dealers are looking for a.
heavy increase in the receipts and a re-
turn to normal conditions in the latter
part of this week. Prices then. will re-
turn to the figures of the market in the
middle of last week. Several barrels
and boxes of jumping mullets from the
great catch of the fish made last week
In Carolina waters were received by the
dealers here and the fish sold at about
cents pound.

able him to get away with this state
ment if he didn't have the proofs. His
eye is as bright, his step as springy, his
voice as mellow, his laugh as hearty and
his capacity for hard work as unim-
paired as is the average man of half his
age. But he has the proofs and that
all there is to it. He must be believed.
Commissioner Taylor is a natural born

proving that he is seventy-two, even if
the family Bible weren't handy Why,
the commissioner was chairman of the
committee on improvements of the old
common council of the corporation of
Washington way back yonder in 1868 and
1869, under Mayor Bowen. The form of
government of the National Capital has
been changed twice since then, the execu-
tive head next being governor and
then changed to the present board of
District Commissioners.

Mr.. Taylor was born on a farm in New
Jersey in 1888, lived in Mount Holly, in
that state, and served during the civil
war first at McClellan's Headquarters.
