CATCH HAS BEEN HEAVY.
Shad and Herring Numerous in the
Chesapeake.

Shad and herring are making their
appearance In Chesapeake bay In large
numbers Within the past day or two
the catch has been quite heavy. Yes
terday the dealers hero received over
5000 shad and 10000 herring from the
bay fisheries, the largest receipts of
the season, and the receipts this morn
ing were also heavy, Roe shad sold
today at 20 to so cents each, and bucks
at % to 80 cents each. This is a drop
OF about 40 cents in the price Of roe
shad. Herring are selling at from 81 to
81 hundred.
Now that shad are coming into the
bay in good numbers their appearance
in the Potomac is looked for in a short
time. The fishermen are making prep
arations Cor the coming of the Ash
and 1t is generally believed that the
new regulations limiting the distance
out from shore in which trap nets can
be placed will give the fish an opportu-
nifty to get into the river and make the
catch at the river shores better than
it has oeen In years. Heretofore the
fishermen in the bay and at the mouth
Of the Potomac built a fence Of nets
across the mouth OF the river that
made it next to impossible for shad
to get by without being caught.

SCHOONER HAZARD FL0ATED.
Not Thought That the Vessel Has
Been Seriously Damaged.

The three-masted schooner L b. Haz.
ard. which went ashore last week above
Cove point, in a gale, has been fioated
and is on her way to Baltimore for sur
vey to determine damage before resum-
ing her trip. To float the vessel over a
hundred tons Of the salt cake she has
aboard was nghtered on q barge and the
revenue cutter Apache, assisted by the
tug M. w. Hunt, succeeded in pulling her
into deep water. The vessel was leaking
but little and it is thought that she es-
capped serious damage in going on the
shoal. The Hazard was on her way to a
New Jersey port from Baltimore.
The old schooner Edna A. Pogue. which
was beached short distance north of No
Point, on the western shore of Chesa-
peake bay. following a collision about q
month ago with the Norwegian steamer
Fortuna, has escaped further damage In
the heavy gales that have blown over
her in the past two weeks. What dispo-
sition will be made Of the old vessel is
not known.

Justice Gould. In Equit Court No I.
has taken under advisement the ques-
ton Of the right of the District Of Co.
1umbia to be reimbursed for the care
and maintenance Of Frank Healy dur
ing the seventeen years the latter has
been in the Government Hospital Tor
the Insane.
Counsel for the committee Of Healy,
who last December inherited 5000 900
BY the death of his brother. DR.. James
Healy, q local druggist, argued that the
statute OF limitations barred all claims
Tor board prior to three years ago. and
claimed the District could not collect
board except from the time Healy in
herited his fortune.
In an answer filed yesterday the COM
mittee contends that Healy was an indi-
gent patient until last Christmas, and
cannot now be charged for board mere
ly because he has now become rich.
The charity once bestowed, they
claim. could not later form the basis
Of a suit to recover at law the amount
of the beneficence.

DELAYED BY GALE.
Oyster Laden Schooners Unable to
Bring Cargoes to Market.

The heavy northwest gale prevented
oyster-laden craft from coming up the
river, and yesterday by noon the oyster
wharf was entirely deserted by vessels ex-
cept one small craft that was preparing
to sail. There vas not an oyster on sale.
The situation looked decidedly blue for
today's market, but yesterday afternoon
late the schooner Silver Wave, with about
500 bushels Of Potomac river oysters
aboard, and the flattie Nellie White, with
q couple of hundred bushels, arrived. and
the shortage was relieved. This morning
two or three more vessels got into port,
and it is stated that there are several
more oyster boats on their way here that
should arrive before tomorrow morning.
There seems to be no doubt at the
wharf that there will be an ample supply
on hand to meet the Sunday demand. The
bivalves are selling at from 60 to IS cents
per bushel.

Residents Urged to Beauty
Residence Premises.
CULTIVATION OF FLOWERS
Addresses by Glenn Brown and David
Fairchild Before Park View
Association.

Glenn Brown, secretary Of the American
Institute Of Architects, and David Fair
child Of the Agricultural Department, and
president Of the Peoples Garden Asso-
citation. pleaded for a more beautiful
Washington before a largely attended
meeting Of the Park View Citizens Asso
citation in the Sunday school house Of the
Whitney avenue Christian Church last
evening. Mr.. Brown showed on the
screen the plans of the city prepared by
Maj. LEnfant, and explained them He
also showed in a number Of views the
designs prepared by the special commits
sion appointed to take up the work of
making q more beautiful Washington
some years ago after much effort on the
part Of the late Senator Mcmillan.
Broad Avenues on View.
The beautiful broad avenues extending
from the Capitol to the proposed Lincoln
memorial on the river were exhibited. as
well as the design OF the proposed monu-
ment to the Constitution trainers, which
will also be on the river.
Mr.. Brown also showed the present
condition OF Rock Creek valley, and later
how the commission hoped that it might
be treated. The views developed the idea
to be a splendid one. which when carried
out will make Washington in all parts
TIE wonder city OF the world in point Of
beauty.
Production Of Flowers.
Mr. Fairchiid urged those in attend
ance to cultivate flowers which a-e es-
pecially adapted to this climate. He said
that in the past the people Of this city
have not chosen their plants well. and
| that they should at once busy them
selves with the problem Of selecting
plants easily grown here.
| Pointing to the example OF the people
Of Rochester, who. some years ago set
out to solve this problem, he said the
people of Washington can wei! follow the
+, Rochester lead.
In New York city the people have had
similar success In Washington is assured
| II the same pains will be taken by the
people here.
One Of the IDEAS which he advanced is
that Washington people. and especially
those in the suburbs, should do all In
their power to ''tie their houses down.. -
/ In this connection he was referring to
/ the house which IS mud spattered on all
| sides just above the turf, and declared
that with suitable plants we'll arranged
this unsightly scene can be eliminated.
Plea for the Lawns.
He made q plea that the residents Of
tho city look into the question q oncs.
saying that II they do not SEQ their way
| clear at the present time 70 put plants
| all about their houses they should at
! least attend to the front lawns, and es-
| peciai!y the ground close TO the house,
SO that The unsishtiy views may be eraAi-
1 Gated.
Both speakers were introduced by Pres
/ ident McGrath Of the Park View Asso.
! citation, and the attendance included
i members Of the Takoma Park. Bright
/ wood Park. Brightwood and other citi-
II zHnS' associations Of the section.
