 AS q result Of plants of fry be- tween Washington and the Great Falls the wall-cyed pike or pike. perch. the largest and most valuable TIT le7nber of the perch family, has been acclimat- ed and for five or Six years has been attracting attention. Ii is not vet very numerous. but apparently is be- coming more so each season and in time should prove. valuable addi- tion to the supply of fishes caught for market and for sport.
 Not the teaet important of the ad- ditions to the Potomac fauna are two catfshes from the Mississippi bas'n. One of them. the spotted or blue cat, is probably the best of tho tribe in- habitatine cold, running water, having dainty feeding habits, possessed of game qualities scarcely inferior to those of the ba sS. and being excellent food. Small plants of adults and yearlings were made at QuanticO, Virginia, aud NOodmont and Hagers- town, Maryland. in 1889, 1891 and 1892; and since 1899 the fish have been year. especially between Washington and Little Falls. many of them weigh ing 10 to 20 pounds.
 "There appeared in the river con siderable numbers of another species, the great fork-tailed cat. of the in- troduction Of which there was no re- cord; so it is evident that the young were mixed with the spotted cats and were overlooked when the plants were waters, and examples taken from the Potomac by line fishermen have weighted upward of 90 pounds"

METHODIST PASTOR IS
 GET-TOGETHER SPEAKER

|. Notwithstanding the extremely hot afternoon, a large number of sailors local Y. NJ. c. A. Sunday at 5.S0. when under the cooling breezes of the two large electric fans orchestra music popular songs and hymns. fine ad- dress and d tempting lunch were en- joyed by all attending.
 Rev l.. A. LeEE. pastor of the Meth odist Episcopal church. was the speak CT of the occasion and he held the close attention from beginning to end Among other things the speaker said ::
 We seldon, heaf sermons on either heaven h~ii in these days, and yet come peonIe are evidently tending toward hell. anu the hope of men ev- crywhere is that they may reach heaven.
 Ther. is q movie called The Right to ffa ppincss. and this sentiment is the right kind Of a sentiment. for every man has right 10 happiness. and that is Just what Jesus Christ came to give to men. Happiness does not depend on money, nor on what men call sue cess, in fact. happiness does not de- pend on any ma teaisl thing, but aoso : lutely or our relationship to God. and it is our right to enjoy the happiness that is thus obtained, and VIC can en- joy it by bringing ourselves into that right relationship.
 Any right thing that is being done to produce real happiness in the world is in accordance with the will of God.
 The great prohibition movement has brought untold happiness to the race, and God has been back of it all. and everyone who has co-cperated in the movement has contributed to the hap piness thus obtained. The league of nations, though at present imperfect in form, is a move in the right direc- tion, and history will record prohib- ton and the league of nations great crucial periods in the world. This Y. NJ C. A. is a real part of Gods pro- gram in bringing about the happiness of the human family. and many of the sailors and soldiers who fove been here have shared in the happiness thus contributed. ! hope you will en- deavor to do all you can to contribute to the happiness of your fellows. and if you will do this you are really CO., opera ting with God in his purpose for ma nIzind.
 Mrs. Arthur L. Peale had charge of serving the lunch and several young ladies assisted.

 Addressing Attorney Brown. Judge Barnes said that he presumed he might speak as a citizen and said he thought it was about time the com pany came to settlement with the strikers.

 Attorney Brown replied warmly he was sure nobody would object if the strikers would go to Hartford if they could get SO cents there, but the waC- es didn't enter into the breach of the peace cases before the court.

How the Potomae's Fish Were
 Planted"

'The National Capital has a variety of claims for fame. but one of its popular pastimes fishing. often IS 2 surprise to visitors" says bulletin from the National Geogra phic Soci- ety, which has its headquarters in Washington.
 "Thousands of war workers who
 thronged Washington found rccrea tion in angling in the Potomac. How the river come to be so well stocked With fish is an interesting story"
 The bulletin quotes from a com = munication to The Society by Hugh NJ Smith, as follows:
 As an example of what may be done for q large stream in the way of heneicient standardization, the case of the Pootnac River may be cited. The commercial fisherman, the profession al fycaster, and the casual angler all have cause to render profound thanks for what has here been accomplished in their interest.
 The most valuable indigenous fishes now inhabitinE the Potomac are the small mouth and 1arge-mouth black passes. These most excellent food and game species are not native to this river. but their introduction oc cured so long ago that the general public has lost sight of the interest ing facts connected herewith. If was in 1854 shortly after the completion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, that a lot of small mouth black bass
 
 in the water tank of a locomotive en- zine and liberated in the basin of the Chesa peake and Ohio Canal at Cum berland Having free access to the Potomac. the fish soon found their way to various parts of the river. and inside of ten years literally swarmed in all the tributaries from Mount Yer non to the headwaters. At the pres ent time the species affords much sport from Washington to Harpers Ferry and beyond. but is not common below the capital. The introduction of the large mouth black bass into the Potomac basin was accomplished by the Bureau of Fisheries in 1889, the first plants being made in the Shen- andoah and later in the vicinity Of Washington. By 1Ss6 the fish had become remarkably. abundant, and now it is taken in large numbers by net fishermen and anglers in all the lower fresh water reaches oe the river.
 "The strawberry bass and the crap py were established in the Potomac by the Bureau of Fisheries in 1894, and both are now common in long stretch of the stream from Alexandra They are excellent food and game fishes. and many are caught by
