Only bad weather and muddy water
can keep hundreds OF anglers Oft the
Potomac river tomorrow. The announce
ment made earlier in the week that shad
and herring had been caught short dis
lance below Alexandria awakened enthu-
siasm and caused the rods and lines to
get busy. Many of them were on the river
last Sunday. but reports are that no white
perch We're caught
Richard Mullet is looked upon by the
boathouse men as being the first angler
TO land white perch this year with rod
and line. He caught nine large ones
early In the week and followed his sue
cess with additional catches later on.
Early in the week, it is stated, many
'grass-combers, as small white perch
are called, We're caught with worm bait.
the larger ones with live bait. Soft crab,
1t is admitted, is the best bait for the
general run of perch, although the
largest of the fish may be-eaught with
minnows.
Soft crabs are to be had in the local
market. They are from North Carolina
and are selling at 500 to $50 a dozen
While they are high and small, the de-
mand for them for use as bait is greater
than for TODD Boats and bait will be
in great demand tomorrow, and the wiser
ones have given their orders in advance.
Thursday afternoon w. II. Buckingham
and J. J. Kelly wet their lines in the river
near Chain bridge. Each returned WITH
a bunch of white perch that were well
worth catching. Pike winnows were used
as bait Buckingham caught five dozen
fish. while Kelly returned with nearly
three dozen.

caught the heaviest one. however. the fish
weighing more than three pounds. None
of them was less than ~ pounds in
weight.
1T was a beautiful day and the water
was fine said Hurley, telling of the
trip, although late in the day thunder
storm drove us off the river, but our
days fishing was over"
The fishermen found the water a little
cold and the fish were inclined to be slug
gish. Every one of the dozen was caught
near a ledge of stone. indicating that
the fish were secreted in shelterd places.
They arranged for another weekend trial
this week.
seven others tried their luck at Cockpit,
near Quantico, last Sunday and while
they did not return empty-handed the
high wind interfered with their sport.
1T was entirely too windy for white
perch stated Mr.. Middleton, but the
members of the party landed ten pike and
one bass. the latter weighing more than
two pounds"
Tomorrow they will go to Chappa-

ORPHAN HOME FOR SEALS
GOVERNMENT TO CARE FOR
THE MOTHERLESS YOUNG.
Boatswain Thurber's Discovery of
Method Of Feeding Will Save
Lives of Thousands.

At least one of the executive depart
ments of the United States government is
seriously thinking of establishing an or
phan asylum Correspondence with that
object in view has passed between two
cabinet officers, the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor and the Secretary of the
Treasury.
But the orphan asylum is to be for
motherless young seals, and il is the con-
sequence of the great success achieved
by Judson Thurber, boatswain in the
revenue cutter service in Alaska, in find
ing a way to feed and raise two young
seals that had been deprived OF their
mother. 1t was something that even
scientists, who had often considered the
matter, had utterly failed in before him.
Thurber found by Sitting a cord or
tendon attached to the seals tongue it
was thereafter able to take nourishment
and feed itself. He tried the expert
ment on two seals with such, success
that at the request Of Secretary Nagel
the Secretary of the Treasury had him
bring the seals to the bureau Of fisheries
at Washington for care and observation.
The little fellows have thrived so we'll in
captivity under the circumstances that
now Secretary Nagel wants to borrow
Boatswain Thurber for further expert
ments.
Thousands Of the young seals die every
year at great loss to the government
and at the risk Of the humiliation of the
herd as the result Of the killing of their
mothers by pelagic sealers Before Thur
Der succeeded with his experiment moth
ing could be done for them, and they
were simply permitted to starve to death.
All will he different now if the same sue
cess attends further experiments. That
is why Secretary Nagel wants to borrow
Thilrber and why both he and the Sec
rotary of the Treasury are considering
the establishment of an orphan asylum
for young motherless seals.
