MONSTER ILLINOIS FISH.
4 Mississippi River Cat That Must
Have Been Century Old.

Prom Tho Alton TeleEraTh.
A mammoth blue fulton catfish was
brought TO the Peter Joest market Mon
day morning. II weighed l3l pounds.
and is the largest catfish that has been
caught in Mississippi River waters for
twenty-five years
The FISH was captured by William
Murphy, a fisherman at Elsah. Its meas
urements were not taken accurately. but
in the judgment OF the fishermen. o. was
as large an ordinary man. nearly six
feet in length by about forty-five inches
m girth. Its head would weigh about
thirty pounds and was at least eighteen
inches across.
Its capac.OUs mouth looked as IL IL
could swallow a fair sized boy. and in
the general appearance as it lay on the
deck OF the dock. II looked as il II might
weigh 5Oa pounds and powerful enough
to drown a man who should by chance
run afoul of it in deep water.
According to the estimate Of the age
OF the fish gwen by old fishermen. il was
over a century old 1t may have
spawned when Washington was serving
his last term as President.
The last big fish as caught here was
in about 1885 when one weighing IL
pounds was brought into the Alton mar
ket This - a fulton cat. a species that
grow TO enormous size and which grow
crafty and are not often captured.

THE JUNE BUG
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old siwash."

The June Bug deserves an essay all
by himself because of his temperament.
He Is optimistic, impetuous. incorrigible.
thoughtless, erratic, noisy. and bother
some.
II he could be trained to give col
lege yell he would pass in the dark for
college freshman, home from vaca-
ton.
Scientifically. the June Bug is a large
brown insect with solid ivory head
and six legs equipped with hooks on the
shins. which enable him to hang on like
an officeholder when he drops into the
back hair of the lady next door who is
prominent in society, and is calling for
the first time.
This is a favorite deed of the J. Bug.
He is not as handsome or nearly as
talented as some other bugs. but he
moves in the best society and gets into
some homes where many a Senator
would feel bashful
The June Bug travels like an aero
plane, produc!ng a loud humming noise
and banking and planning with great
skill. He also lands like an aviator. by
running into something and coming
down with a crash. He was born with
a purpose and spends his life trying to
achieve it. This purpose is to destroy
house by buttirg il from within. Night
after night the June Bug pursues this
purpose with the utmost earnestness
ramming mirrors. assaulting ceilings
putting dents in lamp chimneys, and
battering book cases. lying quietly on
the floor after each attack until his
head has stopped whirling, and he can
pry himself off his back. \ June Bug

ton. 1t is simple enough device. At
a distance of each (English) mile
alongside the track a cottage is built
which houses the trackman and his
family. He is compelled to live there.
From this abode he patrols the track
to the house of his next neighbor, to
whom he reports his presence and that
all is well. No train is allowed to pass

THE PEOPLES FORUM
The Negro Vote.

To the Editor: At this time. when the
attention of the country is directed to-
ward the coming election on account of
the nominations at Chicago and Balti-
more. l have been asked TO give my
taken by the bulk OF negro voters. pre-
sumably because have been discussing
the potentialities OF American politics
1t is probable that the bulk of negro
voters will adhere to the yelling of the
black demagogues OF the Republican
party. / trust that the colored voters OF
the Western. Middle Atlantic, and New
England States will vote for the stand
ard bearer of. Democracy. for In that
they Will preserve their political prestige
and conserve their economic interests
thereby showing the best American citi-
zenship.
Tammany Hall has shown i,s apprecia-
tion OF its colored braves by appointing
the negro to places according to educa-
tional equipment. Places ranging from
Assistant District Attorney, Assistant
Corporation Counsel. down the line to the
humble $50 street sweepers. This is ef-
fective because IL makes II possible for
thousands Of negroes TO live decently in
the great metropolis
There "a a curious hysteria that makes
many good people think there is some
thing peculiarly wicked in a negro be-
ing a Democrat. as there Is for a lawyer
to work for a corporation. Well, il de-
pends upon the negro and the corpora
ton
Education is the full and harmonious
development of all those faculties dis
tinctive of man. II is not merely in
struction CT learning. LEARNING is an in
strument Of education. but not its end.
The end is mental and moral develop
ment when the negro Is sufficiently de-
vel"ped mentally he will have a better

Black Jet Jevclry.

From the London Daily Mail.
The touch of black that is so much in
favor at the moment is responsible FOR
the sudden popularity Of black jet jew
elry. The effect OF an exquIsitely cut
pendant of Jet worn with a decollete
frock Of the palest pink. mauve. or
cream is extraordinarily beautiful. The
jet shows up the wh!teness Of the neck
as well as the delicate coIoring OF the
gown in a far more striking way than
would a pendant of diamonds or other
precious stones. A slender jet bracelet
on a white arm has only to he tried once
TO be worn on every possible occasion.
II is far prettier than the narrow black
velvet bracelet that has returned to
fashion.
The jet tiara is another beautiful piece
of iewelry that looks most effective on
a blond head. Jet drop earrings, Jet dog
collars. jet brooches. chains, hatpins.
buttons. and bracelets can all he had in
new. brilliant black jewelry. The Jet is
cut so exquisitely fine that with small
pieces like earrings and pendants II looks
almost like shining lace.
quaint novelty is the Jet poodle dog
brooch. II is quite small and beautifully
cut. though it cannot be recommended as
an artistic ornament.

The Lackawanna Wreck.

With its block signal system COM
plete. with its tracks patrolled un-
ceasingly, with rails that are the best
of their kind and a track on a we'll
ballasted roadbed that is considered
perfection, the excuse of the Lacka-
wanna train engineer, who claims that
he did not see the signal set against
him or hear the explosion that should
have warned him, and who thus
brought about, it is claimed, the Cor
ming fatality, is not easy TO compre-
hend. So many years had passed with
out any serious accident on that road
that it is difficult to believe that in
this one instance the mechanism usual
y in fine working order should have
failed so completely. Still it is pos
sible; but public opinion inclines to the
belief that human error was the cause
of the disaster that cost many lives
When engineers are held to a strict
proner accountability for accidents
hey will not be exonerated if they
simply "fsil to see warnings" advising
them of danger. They will be required
TO see signals showing that the track
is clear at every block. And when these
signals are obscured or overlooked, it
will be the business Of the man in the
.ab of the locomotive TO shut off steam
at once and feel his way to safety.
We have had occasion, after former
accidents, to point out that railroad
travel never will be absolutely safe in
this country until the plan adopted
years ago in Germany is put in opera
