Fish Tales.

Five and six weakfsh are being
caught to a tide from Van Pelt's
boats. While this is a small catch,
it is above the catches made so far
this summer. The fishermen anchor
on the oyster fats just off the boat
house or else fish in the channel be-
tween this city and T~ottenville.
The deep water at SeWaren Is the
place for large crabs. The smaller
kind seek the inlets and creeks and,
with the exception of C~heesequake
creek, the deeper the water the larg-
er the crab. At Sewaren some of
the best Grabbing is done in twenty
feet of water and there catches from
100 to 200 are made every day.
j Il =
There will be a gathering at the
Highlands tomorrow composed of
fishermen from all parts of the state,
because weakfish have been reported
as found feeding along the bay shore.
One captain said that the blues were
playing off Sandy Hook Point and
that they would be inside before sun
rise. The regulars will get out to-
morrow morning and get In their
fishing before the visitors arrive.
f + y
This is the season for soft and
shedder crabs. They can be found
at low tide where there is a mud
bottom or clinging to the roots of
plants along the creek and river
banks. Soft crabs make excellent
bait for fishing, although the she'd
der crab has the best call.
The Great Kills boats are bringing
in some nice bluefsh. They run
about a pound each and, judging
from the way they were biting the
fore part of the week, they will stick
around until Sunday at least. Row
boats can be hired at Great Kills and
powerboats can reach the grounds by
the outside or inside routes.

UNIVERSALIST MISSION CIRCLE. Woman Friends of Humanity Was the General ToFic-Paper on Frances Willard.

There was a good attendance at the meeting of the Mission circle in the Sunday school room of the Church of the Good Shepherd at 3 o'clock Tues day afternoon. The meeting opened with the singing of the hymn In the Cross of Christ l Glory, followed by prayer by Rev. J. F. Cobb and reading from the scripture by the president, Mrs. c. B. Woodwork. The secre- tarys report on the previous meeting was read and accepted and the roll was called. A solo l Heard the Voice of Jesus Say, by Rathbun. was pleasingly rendered by Mrs. William H. Grove, accompanied on the piano by Miss Elizabeth Grove.
 The president, Mrs. Woodwork read extracts from the Meaning of the Mis- sion Circle, explaining what 1t is, it's objects and its field.
 The general topic for the meeting was Woman Friends of Humanity, and the paper for the afternoon was read by Mrs s. Howard Mead, who spoke on the life and work of Frances VII lard. Though she lived but 5S years, yet judging her life not by her days but by the great good work accom- plished in those years, she lived to a grand old age. Her home state of Illinois has honored her memory by placing in Statuary hall at Washington a statue of Frances Willard, and as we marvel at the beauty of the figure we feel that here is a fitting memorial to her noble life and character.
 Another solo. Glory to Thee, My God, This Night by Gounod, was sung by Mrs. Grove. President Mrs. Wood worth and Mrs. J. r. Cobb were elected delegates to the state convention to be held at Meriden May 8. vote of thanks was extended to Mrs. Grove Mrs. Mead and Miss Grove, after which the meeting was adjourned.

USE OF SACCHARINE AS
 SUBSTITUTE FOR SUGAR. Pure Food Boards Regulation Went
 Into Effect Monday.

Washington, April 1.-The pure food boards order regulating the use of saccharine in foods as a substitute for sugar became effective today. In that connection attorneys for certain food manufacturers made public a letter to the secretary of agriculture protesting that the decision of the board gave the impression that the use of saccharine was prohibited absolutely. The letter declares that the decision permits the use of saccharine provided a label in dicates that it is used for the benefit Of those to whom sugar may be. dele terious to health.
 The order of the board specifically permits the use of saccharine in food for invalids or semi-invalids who can not use sugar, and the food manufac- turers argue that 1t is obvious there fore that it's use cannot be regarded as dangerous to the health of well per sons.
