All along the Atlantic coast in the

were plentiful there are stories now
of the approaching disappearance of
this very bony, but very bonny fish,
There was time when every Ameri-
can river that flowed. into the Atlantic
yielded its big run of shad, but the
run this year. even in the best shad
streams, was very poor and the out
look is that it will be less next year,
and within few years, unless some
thing is done to prevent will be neg.
ligible. 1t is said the rad and ci;ies
can not use the same river, that the
pollution from the city will drive
out the fish and this is given as the
reason why the Connecticut, the
ELdson, the Delaware, even tire
Savannah. are not the fine shad
streams they were IN other days.

Richmond, Aug. l7.-Mrs. i. w.
Edmunds, wife of a prominent Dan
vile physician, leaped off a porch
roof at the Tucker Sanatorium, 2l2
West Franklin street, early yester-
day morning, and died at the sana-
torium at 3:40 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon of a fractured skull AL
though she was being treated for nc-r
vous trouble. Mrs. Edmunds appar-
emily was doing well, and neither her
husband nor physicians at the sana-
torium had deemed it necessary to
assign a special nurse to her. 1t IS
supposed that she became acute!y
worse about I o'clock yesterday morn

irresponsible condition.
Dr.. Edmunds, who brought his
wife to the hospital last Sunday, was
notified at his home in Danville early
yesterday morning, and arrived in
Richmond yesterday afternoon short
ly before the death Of his wife.
Physicians and nurses at the sana-
torium say that Mrs. Edmunds spent
an excellent night up TO about ,
o'clock yesterday morning. when she

tion, and returned to sleep, awak.ng
again at 6 o'clock. A nurse then gave
her a glass of milk and several
crackers and brought her 6-months
old infant in 10 see her. The child
was returned to its crib, and Mrs.
Edmunds's bath was prepared about
7 o'clock.
Up to the time she entered the
bathroom, Mrs. Edmunds apparently
was in excellent spirits and entirely
rational. She had barely entered the
room, however, before she removed
a fly screen from window opening
on the roof Of porch on the Madi-
son street side of the building and

Mrs. Edmunds had been in weak
physical condition for some time.
Several deaths in her immediate FAM

to have contributed to her nervous
state. She had given no indication Of
