turned on about a million cleo

FISHERMAN MAKES LUCKY
CATCH.

Eric Anderson Hooks Small For
tune In the Shape of a Walnut
Log.
Georgetown, Sept. 2O.-Fishermen
not infrequently catch other things
than fish. Eric Anderson of South Is
land caught small fortune in the
shape of a big and fine black walnut
log Of solid heart. squaring IL by ii
inches and 20 feet long.
The stick had evidently been in
the water long time since small bar
nacles had begun to form on it. but
the condition of the wood Is perfect
and the grain and coloring are beau
tiful. Anderson cut off q small sample
of the wood and brought 1t up to the
city. and o. e. Emerson made a
smooth surface on one side Of it. The
color Is dark and rich, and the wood
takes a polish like a. mirror. From
appearances 1t must have been cut
years and years ago, and must have
been in the water seevral years. No
moisture, however. has ever penetrat-
ed so much as lie Of an inch into
che grain.
The supposition is that the stick
was grown in Brazil. where the nuts
come from and that it was jettison-
ed by some ship in distress or that it
fioated out of souie vessel that was
wrecked with load Of fine hard
woods aboard. The log was picked
up I'm the bay. between the two is
lands.

Hol0Rs ITS LATE MAYOR.
THOUSANDS VIEW BODY OF w. j.
GAYNOR.
Services are Held In New York
Churches-LOng Lines Form at
City Hall Where the Body Lies i'm
State.

| New York, Sept. 21.-In a double
line that never seemed to diminish as
the day wore on, thousands of persons
today filed through the flower filled
rotunda of the city hall and past the
body of William j. Gaynor, lying in
state. Unmindful Of heavy down.
pour of rain in the morning, frequent
showers in the afternoon and threat
ening skies tonight, people came in
continuous streara silently to find
places in the long, slow-moving pro-
cession that extended for half o mile
along lower Broadway and through
City Hail park to the city hall. 1t was
New York's spontaneous tribute to it's
dead mayor.
In the long line were street clean
ers In their white uniforms, police
men, fremen and men high in the
official life of the city and State, but
for the most part the procession was
made up from the great socalled mid
die class. Many women and children
carried small wreaths or bouquet of
flowers, which they placed near the
coffin.
AT . o'clock the police on duty at
the city hall estimated that more than
$4,000 persons had viewed the body.
The line was still forming at late
hour tonight and Mayor Kline issued
an order to keep the rotunda open
until o'clock tomorrow morning, if
necessary, 30 that all who came might
pay personal tribute to the memory
OF his predecessor. Fully 100000 per-
sons 1t is believed. will have Viewed
the body before the doors are closed.
1T !s n remarkable tribute" Mayor
Kline said, as he viewed the great
silent crowd; mo king, no emperor,
ever had tribute paid to him like
this great outpouring Of citizens to-
day. 1t is a tribute from the hearts
Of the people,"
The bier rested on the same spot
where the bodies of many fam Gus
men have laid in state.
Other noted men whose biers have
rested beneath the dome Of the hall
were: Abraham Lincoln, Gen. u. S.
Grant, Horace Greeley and Gen. Jose
A. Paez, president of Venezuela.
Pathetic incidents were numerous
as men and women whom the late
mayor had befriend ed looked upon |
his face. Among these was Brooklyn |
youth, whose part Mayor Gaynor took
when it was alleged he was being
prosecuted by the police and which
resulted in an investigation and Also
the removal Of the boys picture
from the rogue's gallery.
While the thousands journeyed
down town to pay their respects in
person, thousands of others attend
ed memorial services In many church
es in all parts of the city.
