TILE ROME TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JUNE 13. 18*5
A JOLLY OLD JOHN.
Was What Was Delineated By the Lec
ture Last Night.
AN APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE.
The Ladle. Had Mr.. Wardlaw’s Millinery
Establishment in Charge Yesterday
and Did a Fair Business.
Mr. John M. Caldwell, the brilliant
lecturer, was at his best before the
cultured audience that assembled at
Nevin’s opera house last evening.
His lecture was one of the best that
has been delivered in Rome in a long
time, and took the audience by
storm.
The lecture is full of bright things
and perhaps nobody ever handled so
unique a subject as “John” in a more
charming manner than this graceful
speaker did last evening.
It bristles and bubbles with com
mon sense and exquisite drollery and
the attractive personality of the
speaker added much to the keen ap
preciation of his handling 6f the
novel theme. •
The ladies of the St. Peter’s fund
are to be congratulated on their suc
cess in securing such an entertain
ment for the Roman public.
The Sale at Mrs. Wardlaw’s.
The ladies in charge of Mrs. J. F.
Wardlaw’s millinery establishment
yesterday, were Mrs. Chas. D. Wood,
Mrs. M. A. Nevin, Mrs. J. C. Printup
and Miss Zoe Eastman.
Despite the fact that many of their
very best customers in East and
South Rome went up to Chicamauga
on a Sunday school picnic excursion,
they had a fairly good trade.
The contest for the beautiful hat
and baby cap will be left open until
10 o’clock today to give all a chance.
Mrs. Smith’s Lawn Party.
The lawn party to be given this
evening at the elegant home of Mr.
and Mrs. Halsted Smith, “The Wil
lows” in the Fifth ward, will be a
delightful affair.
It will begin at 5 o’clock and con
tinue during the evening. Refresh
ments will be served by fair hands
and everything done to make the
visitors enjoy themselves during the
evening.
Other Events.
Mr. H. S. Lansdell has completed
the principal details of his big excur

mountain on June 18.
He has secured exceedingly reason
able rates $1.65 to the top of the
mountain and $1.25 to Chattanooga,
and a rate at the hotels of 50 cents
at the Point and 75 cents at the Inn.
This will be the grandest excursion
of the season. Ample accommodations
will be provided to make everybody com
fortable and happy, and those who want
to enjoy a day of perfect pleasure can
not afford to miss the opportunity.
The Rome Electric Street Railway
company has donated one day’s pro
ceeds on all their lines to the fund. They
will take charge of the cars on Thurs
day, June 26, a married lady, with two
young ladies to assist her on each car,

MARVELOUS RESULTS,
From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we
are permitted to make this extract:
“I have no hesitation in recommend
ing Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the
results were most marvelous in the
ease of my wife. While I was pastor
of the Baptist church at Rives Junc
tion she was brought down with
pneumonia succeeding la grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them. A friend recommended Dr.
King’s New Discovery; it was quick
in its work and highly satisfactory in
results.” Trial bottles free at D. W.
Curry’s drug store. Regular size 60c.

PECULIAR FIEH.
They Are Blind and Inhabit a Bottom lea.
Fond With No Visible Outlet.
x The queer fish that for a short time ev
ery season inhabit the Bottomless pond,
near Milford, Conn'., made their first ap
pearance for this year last Sunday morn
ing. The pond lies in a deep ravine on the
southeast side of the New Haven turnpike,
only two miles from the village. The way
farer finds himself standing on the edge ot
a circular gulf some 75 feet across. Tiie
perpendicular walls are of green marble,
beautifully shaded and mottled. About 30
feet below the level where the path termi
nates the walls end at a fairly even shelf
about 13 feet wide. On one side,a series of
rudely cut steps afford means of desccnt'to
the level border of the pond.
Old Dan Buckley was huckleberrylng
near the quarry three years ago when he
discovered the fish for which the pond is
celebrated. As he approached the edge of
the pond quietly ho saw about 20 good
sized fish lying motionless near the surface.
He dislodged a pebble by accident, and at
the sound of its fall the fish vanished as If
by magic. year they appeared early
in June, and several unsuccessful attempts
were made to catch them. A New Haven
fishing enthusiast took fishing tackle and
a folding canvas boat to the pond one
morning. His scheme was to snare the
fish if they refused to notice his bait. He
launched his boat safely and enjoyed the
sensation of being the first man to drift
out on the Bottomless pond, but the fish
disappeared. For two hours he waited in
vain for their return. Before he came
ashore he tried to sound the depth of the
pond. He lot out 50 yards of trout line,
well weighted, but he found no bottom.
An attempt to catch the fish is to be
made this season by a Yale professor and
his friends. Their plan is to set a fine gill
net horizontally across the pond at a depth
of about three feet. They hope that the
fish in rising will run into the meshes and
be caught. AU the fish are of about the
same size—lß inches long and slender, like
a dace in form, but almost a jet black.
No scales are discernible, and their fins
and tails resemble those of the common
brook trout. When in repose, they are only
about three or four inches below the sur
face and invariably face toward the north.
The eyes are large and protrude from the
head.
It has been virtually proved that the
fish are stdne blind, for although they sink
out of sight at the lightest jar or noise
they do not notice the waving of poles or
leaves over the pond. The people here call
the fish white eyes.
If the pond is fed by subterranean
streams of water, these fish, it is thought,
may be visitors from an underground lake
or from a distant river. There are only
about two months in which to study their
habits. At the opening of August the
strange visitants disappear as suddenly as
they come. Henry Tuttle, the expressman,
was the first person to see them this year,
and he says they look the same as ever,
but are rather bigger than .last year. A
dozen or more persons have visited the
pond since Sunday and have seen the fish.

NEW DEVICE FOR SHIPS. I
An Anchor Which, When Fired From a
Gun, Will Carry a Line Ashore.
Thousands of human lives have been
sacrificed because of the absence of a suit
able apparatus for establishing communi
cation between a stranded vessel and the
shore, but an invention has now been pat
ented which, it is believed, will effect this
purpose. Hitherto resort has been had to
the bomb, which carries a line from the
shore to the stranded ship, so that a
breeches buoy can be rigged to land pas
sengers and crew in safety. All of our
life saving stations are equipped with this
apparatus, which has saved mauy lives and
justified itself.
But the ship that is driven ashore upon
an uninhabited beach can have no hope of
such succor. The surf raging during a
storm makes landing in a boat impossible,
and the bomb which flies through the air
affords the only hope for the crew. The
aim of the inventor of the new apparatus
Is to equip every vessel with gun and
bomb, so that she is not dependent upon a
life saving crew ashore.
The new gun fires a long and heavy pro
jectile, which in reality is an anchor. The
arms of this anchor spring into place as
soon as it leaves the muzzle of the gun,
and it will bury itself on the shore or In
the sand in shallow water. Even on a
rocky coast such an anchor Is pretty sure
to catch in some crevice. If It does not so
catch, it may be hauled back to the ship
and again fired, and this may be repeated
until a good anchorage is found.
The projectile carries a light line along
with it, or rather two lengths of the same
line, each end of which is kept aboard the
ship This line runs over a pulley in the
heavy bomb, and as soon, as the latter has
firmly anchored Itself the crew aboard the
ship have established communication with
the shore.

Butler, N. J.,’ to whom a patent has been
granted.—New York World.
